VICIOUS JOURNALISM.

The San Francisco Bulletin says with
vigor and an incisivness that is inspiring
That element which patronizes a newspaper
because it is devoted TO the business of pander-
ing TO deprayed tastes, never has and never Can
establish a public Journal on solid business
ground. Its temporary success is maintained
by a sort OF galvanism. In the long run 1t is
seen that the element that patroniZes it is not in
the majority. II is not even a prosperous ele-
ment. . : 8 While, therefore, it is true that
there is always a minority in every large COM
munity that will prefer a corrupt newspaper to
an honest one, that minority is continually spb-
jeet to disintegration. II cannot give what it
does not possess. AS long as there is vicious ele-
ment in the community there viii be q vicious
school of journalism to pander to it. But it is
an error to suppose that 1t constitutes a valuable
constituency. 1t is always q minority and a
losing one.
All such expressions are gems of crys-
tallized truth. As without labor there is
no true excellence, so without worth there
is not possible to be attained any true
newspaper prosperity or success. The
highways of time are dotted with the
graves of vicious journalism. The sensa-
t%ional, vitriol-throwing, sensibility-wound.
ing and Misunderstanding sheets, sooner
or later, but surely. wither before the mer-
ciless judgment of public opinion. They
may pirate and preach as they viii about
the demand of the public taste for the
vulgar, the truth is that demand is of the
minority as the Bulletin well says, and it is
never a loyal clientele. If the demand is
to excuse the offense then the procuress
and the publisher of libidinous books
can successfully defend against assaults
upon their nefarious business. The
demand for vulgar, unclean and debas-
ing newspapers not only does not
justify them, but is a strong reason
why they should not exist. No influence |
ever yet rose to permanent prosperity upon
the woes of lis creation, or reached and
maintained a commanding position by
treading out the decencies, amenities and
rights of humanity; and this the sensa-
tional press does. 1t fattens upon the mis-
fortunes of others it assumes the charac-
ter of public executioner, and inspires the
adherence inseparable from the office.
When men made the steps that lifted them
above the brute, they ceased to prey upon
each other; but such as retain the brutal
instinct must expect, and certainly viii re-
ceive from public sentiment the reward
that is the due of the brute. The pander-
ers to vicious tastes and demoralizing
appetites may flourish for a time, but they
viii find their level as surely as the waters
of the earth seek theirs.

THE Philadelphia Record, which is in
close sympathy with the only party from
which Governor Hill of New York can
possibly receive a Presidential nomination,
declares that by his veto Of the Saxton
ballot reform bill the Governor has lost
the last opportunity he had of becoming
a Presidential nominee. 1t goes so far as
to denounce the veto as ean indecent ex-
posure of political p~roaigacy." From the
Record this is very strong language and in
dictates to some extent what the popular
demand for ballot reform is. The Louis
vile CoEier-Journa, also a party friend of
Governor Hill, declares in its issue of the
10th, that 'the idea of certain political
leaders in New York seems to be that the
ballot is an article of merchandise and
they are for free trade in ballots. Hence
their opposition to ballot reform; hence
the veto of the Saxton bill.n Let the poll
ticians of the country look to their rig
ging, for there certainly is gathering a
storm that will have no party color, and

The Chinese Government has instructed
its Minister at Washington to enter its
protest against the haste with which the
Scott exclusion bill was passed. The Gov
eminent Of the Empire can be granted
that much of consolation without any at
triton to our pride. As a matter of fact,
the bill was passed with scandalous haste,
and in a manner not at all creditable to
the American Government. In the heat
Of q political campaign, it was projected
without any real intention of being trans
formed into law-so far as the intent of its
authors was concerned. But 1t was seized
upon and turned against the party that
invoked it for a political use, and meeting
the sentiment of the people half way, it
was carried by its force and by shrewd po-
litical management, upon the statute books.
Now being affirmed by the tribunal of last
resort, there is an end of the matter.
The Chinese Government proposes no
other resistance to the demand for ex-
clusion of its subjects from the United
States than a formal protest against the
haste of the passage of the Act in the
mist Of diplomatic consideration of the
That much can be conceded to it.

THE death Of Bishop, the 'mind-reader,"
or as some will have il, the ul~tra-sensitiye
muscle reader; the demand Of the medical
scientists of the country that hypnotism
shall be placed under the surveillance of
the law and forbidden 10 those not skilled
in medical science, have awakened a great
deal Of interest in the hypnotic problem.
1t is now agreed, alike by American and
European physicians Of all schools, that
~hypnotism cannot be ignored that it de-
mands scientific supervision and research
and control, and that physicians must
familiarize themselves with it. They 90

the water are insisting that government
shall take cognizance of it and provide
against its misuse. 1t is now conceded
that the hypnotic suggestion may lead to

adduced of som very startling crimes hav-

This being true, We can readily under
stand the force of the demand for the
the legislative interference asked for. But
W. very much doubt the efficacy of any
remedy proposed by law. If hypnotic
suggestion is all hat is claimed for it,
then it is impossible for the law to reach
the offender. He can so conceal his work
that by none of the proofs that are usually
sufficient to establish the truth, can the
operator be reached. Hypnotic suggestion
is not new indeed the exercise Of the in
f~uence, by which sons men have been
able to control others, has been recognized
from the earliest time. There never has
been devised legal remedy for its control,
nor do we believe that there can be. The
most that can be done, probably, is to for
bidpublic hypnotic exhibitions, and mere
experiments for amusement, on the ground
that serious mental injury or per-
manent dethronement Of the reason is
liable to result. A wise thing for the
scientists to do. would be to so e~nergize

Mr.. PLATT's assault upon the civil
service reform, which he pub
lished recently through the columns
of Frank Leslie's Newspaper, proves
how little Mr.. Plat knows of the
principles CT the reform, and how much he
understands of the spoils system. The
power of patronage has not been overesti-
mated, as he contends on the contrary, the
difficulty is that the people have not yet
fully awakened to its immensely and the
dangers to the Republic that reside within
it. Fit is 50 inconsequential as Mr.. Platt
contends, why is it that there is such a
struggle TO control it?

The City of Paris mas lowered her own
remarkable record of her first trip, having
on a second trial crossed the Atlantic in
five days and twenty-five hours. 1t is thus
made possible to travel from San Francisco
to London inside of twelve days. OF course
the steamer named will not be permitted
to monopolize the speed attained. The COM
petition for business will soon put in op-
position to her other boats Of equal capac-
ity for a quick transit, and it will not be
long before the standard time for the trip
will be that now the lowest. There is no
need to speculate upon the advance these
achievements recall. The man is moving
upon a very low level of intelligence who
cannot in retrospect call up the contrast of
the past with the present. 1t is not yet a
decade since a trip to Europe and return
involved a period of months now it can be
accomplished in as many weeks.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX says that "a
wife, like a kiss, should be looked for with
the eyes alone-and then when consent is
evident, should be taken without unneces
sary questions of delay" which proves
that EAa knows very little about it. The
man who cannot speak the love his eyes
express does not deserve the wife worth
having. The consent that is evident and
unexpressed is not that of the woman who
deserves to be an honored and beloved

President Diaz, and pass a bill to permit
him to leave the Republic long enough to
visit the Spring Palace Exhibition at Fort

WHILE the American exhibition at the
Paris Exposition is not likely to make a
large showing, the art section, it is adj
mitted, saves our pride from humiliation.
In all the other departments the exhibits
are broken upon into classifications. Thus
the American exhibits must be looked for
in the departments of machinery, inven-
ton, fine arts, manufacture, education,
textile fabrics, products Of wood, agricult-
ure, commerce, arms, electricity, etc. This
will unquestionably make the Exposition
very much more satisfactory to examiners,
more useful to the world and will secure
for it decidedly better results. But it is
not conducive to national vanity on the
part of any group of exhibitors. When
it comes to the art gallery, however, no
other grouping is possible, with s~atisfac-
ton, than by nations, since these in the
main represent schools. Our art exhibits
are numerous, and are said to reflect great

also true that the subjects are not so
strikingly American as to make the ex-
hibit remarkable and attractive for that
reason. This is to be regretted very
much. 1t was possible to have sent to
Paris paintings that would have presented
the most striking and varied landscape
and typical features OF our vast expanse
of territory. Such an exhibition could
have been supplemented also with fine art
representations of our architecture, our
cities and villages, u farms, orchards,
vineyards, etc. For it is true that some
of the very best results of the labor OF
American artists have been obtained in
these directions. The immense value of
such an exhibition in the art department
would have been well nigh incalculable.
EVERY one at all conversant with the
ways Of publishers of cyclopadias is famil-
lar with their quarrels, and the critical
watchfulness with which they lie in wait
for one another. No error into which one
falls escapes the eye of his rival, nor is the
world for a moment kept in ignorance OF
the discovery. As a rule, not much atten-
ton is paid to this wrangling, the reading
public being content to take very much
with which the cyclopaedists charge each
other, with a broad margin of allowance,
A recent blunder on the part of one of the
foreign publishers of a famous encyclo-
padia has, however, given their American
competitors an opportunity that they can
make much of, if so disposed. The for.

On Wednesday Commissioners Ridg-
way and Peacock met, and accepted the
court house, the few additional touches
which the board last week demanded of
the contractors having been given to the
building. The final settlement between
the county and the contractors was not
made, owing to the enforced absence of
Commissioner Kessler. This settlement
is to be made on Tuesday next. 1t in

the fifteen per cent. of the amount of the
whole contract, which was, under the
terms of the agreement, held IN reserve
until the final settlement, and the con-
sideration of some extra items for which
the contractors feel that they should be
paid.
The placing of the different rooms in
order has been begun. 1t will require
until we'll along in the coming week to
get the counters and every thing arranged;
but some of the officers will occupy their
new quarters by Monday or Tuesday,
and Saturday evening, March 16, will
probably not arrive without all the re-
mOvals having been made.

TWENTY QUARTERS TAKEN
Big Rush for Claims in the Fort

Through the kindness of Clerk Cum
ningham, OF the government land Office,
We are able to say that twenty quarter
sections of the old Fort Wallace military
reservation were homesteaded last
Wednesday. The crowd at the land
Office was gentle reminder of the busy
periods of 1885, 1886 and 1887. The
most, if not all, of these homesteaders
were living on the land which they home
steaded. There was not a contested case
ia the whole batch.
Thirteen full sections, and a few parts
of sections along the south line OF the
reservation, were left after Wednesdays
raid. Prospects point to the early taking
of all the reservation lands.
