THE discussion Of the rejection Of
Hotspur Halstead takes humorous turns
among the able editors Some Of them
imagine that the Senate has struck a
blow at the freedom Of the press. If
Halstead's pyrotechnics represent that
abused prerogatiye it would be well if it
were suppressed, Halstead don II represent
anything that ought to live. He represents
that which ought not to live. II is not free.
dom to call Lincoln "a fool" Grant .an
ass" Hamlin an 'imbeeile;" to publish
the Maria Halpin story; TO say that
Evarts, ingalls,, Logan. Cullom, Dawes
and Plumb were bought with standard
oil money. II those things were
true 1t is singular that only Hal
stead knew them or only Halstead
had the courage to publish them, that
all other editors were muzzled and
he alone stands for the freedom of the
press. Perhaps it was freedom Of the
press for the St. Louis papers to abuse
Mary Anderson personally because the
reporters had only six tickets when they
wanted twelve. II is well if such free
dom could be suppressed. Editors VIII,
do not wish to earn a place in the govern
anent by such Trades Of personal abust
as Halstehd has been guilty Of still fee
that they have all the freedom they re
quire. The Senate Of the United Statei
has no power to suppress an,
freedom which ought not to be sup
pressed. The Senate and Hotspur Hal
stead may fight it out Possibly Ingall
and Halstead are well matched an,
nobody cares which dog wins. Halstea,
is not a political question. Heis West
ecn Republican editor Of the most pro
nounced type-an Ohio politician Of tn
most offensive class.

Anril FOOLS Day.

Olive Logan in Belford's Magazine tells
of trick performed in London in 1860.
Thousands of persons received official
looking invitations to be present Sunday
forenoon. April 1, to witness the annual
ceremony of the washing of the white
Lions in the Tower" The favored re-
cipients of these missives were in
strueted to present themselves at the
White Gate for admission. All the fore
noon the streets near the Tower were
thronged by hundreds of vehicles bear
ing people in earnest quest of the White
Gate.
Finally somebody a little less thick
witted than the rest of the crowd remem-
bered that there was no white gate TO
the Tower; that there were no white
lions, and that ceremonials under gov
ernmental auspices on Sunday were at
least wildly improbable Like an electric
shock his reflections flashed through the
throng of ceremony seekers, and their
recognition Of the fact that they all were
April Fools sent them scurrying away
in angry haste.
Several years ago at No 1 Public
School, when the high school department
was held in that building, it was the
custom of a member of the senior ella ss
each morning to read several interesting
items of news. On certain morning
one day later than March 81, Harry A
| Hickman arose to read the news. These
items had become a feature Of the early
morning exercises and Mr.. Hickman haC
an attentive audience. he slowly unbut
toned his coat and deliberately took ,
package of paper out Of his pocket. HI
increased this, and bracing himself
read.
"This is the first of April, and sa
down. He was greeted with tumultuou
applause as the entire school saw tn,
point. Mr.. Birdsall, the principal, ant
all the teachers were convulsed will
laughter. After recovering himself Mr.
Birdsall said that the point was wei
taken, but I'VE will now go to work.
Doubtless great many of the boys VIII,
went to school at that time win remem
l,ber that this was one of the biggest joke
ever played upon the school.

Thanks. Awfuliyi

The staff of the EVENING JOURNAL re-
turns thanks for the serenade rendered
them this morning by Philadelphia or
chestra, composed of two performers.
One ground a cheerful and not unmusical
hand organ the other, by an ingenious
arrangement, was enabled TO play an ac
compartment to the organ on four instru-
ments; bass drum, cymhals and bell
were played by Il movement of his foot
while his hands beat the snare drum
The staff poet was so entranced by the
music that he was inspired TO write a
poem on spring, which the managing
editor consigned to the waste basket.
The editor.in chief thought of his ''Old
Kentucky Home and wrote an editorial
on "The Psychological Influence OF
Music. The city editor kept time with
his foot and thought Of the last charity
ball and the rapturous tones OF the waltz
quadrille. The marine reporter said it
reminded him Of the soughing sighs Of the
swell that follows the tug Taurus.
The assistant business manager danced
a graceful schottische withthe police court
reporter, and the society reporter went
out into the storm door and made an ex-
cellent speech of thanks.
The meteorological editor, whose breast
would not soothe, was figuring up Horace
1reeley Knowles chances for consul
general at Constantinople, and was SO
annoyed that he telephened for a police
man, but !the orchestra moved on before
he appeared.

An Occasion in Linens?

An Occasion in Linens2
Linens and their relation to
our business have full often
been the subject of our adver-
tising. How to bring great
quantities from the world over
has supplied texts for many
linen talks. We seek in each
flax~growing and linen-produc-
ing country, Ireland, Scotland,
France, Belgium, Germany,
the things which each makes
best, buying largely, trans
porting economically, and sell
ing cheaply.
We want to keep the main
facts prominently before you,
and the vital one of all is that
our great linen buying power
rests upon our selling power,
and this in turn is created by
turning the goods over from
the European manufacturer to
you, even though you be only
the buyer of a single towel at
one small profit above commits
sion.
This is equally true Of the
finest Damask Table Linen
and the coarsest Toweling,
each sort and each grade are
relatively cheap.
You will find a Linen Exhi-
bition in the windows and
aisles of the store to-day and
during the days to come.
Beautiful things, and while all
are cheap, lowest in any Ameri-
can market, there are some so
very low that wise people will
want to make the most of the
chance, which will be quickly
over.
