PAUL PRY JOURNALISM.
Mrs. HarrisOn's just Complaint Of Of
fensive Newspaper Scribblers.

Mrs. HarrisOn's just Complaint OF Of
fensive Newspaper Scribblers-
Mrs. Harrison justly complains of the
frequent impertinent and offensive
newspaper publications concerning the
private affairs of her family. The fact
that she is the wife Of the President and
that her family live in the White
House should not expose her to flippant
and oftentimes insulting publications.
The household of tho humblest citizen
in the land should be guarded against
the intrusion of the reporter and pro-
tected from the offensive notoriety of a
publication concerning family affairs
which do not or should not concern the
public. There is no reason why the
private family affairs of a President
should be held less sacred than those of
the peasant 1t is true there must
necessarily be more of the glare of pub
licity upon the life and surroundings of
high public official, but there is line
beyond which prurient journalistic en-
terprise should not go. Mrs. Harrison
is right in protesting against the con-
slant prying into the private affairs of
her family by reporters and the many
misleading statements made in the
press, statements which are of no value
to the public, and in their flippant ex-
aggeratiOn and Misrepresentation can
only mortify family which certainly
should be treated with respect and con-
sideration.-Nashville (Tenn.) Banner.

GATH DEFENDS QUAY.
The Correspondent Has Something to Sal
to His Fellow Democrats.

The Correspondents Has Something to Say
to His Fellow Democrats.
The exposure, as it is called, of Matt
Quay, of Pennsylvania, reminds me of
the fable of ESop, where the wolf met
the lamb drinking in the brook, and,
wishing to pick a quarrel, exclaimed
that the lamb was muddying the water.
THAT can not be, dear friend" said the
lamb, ''since you are upstream from
me and the brook flows down from
you" mo matter for that" said the
wolf, your father was scoundrel, any
way;" and he proceeded to eat the lamb;
from which the Greeks drew the moral
that where you want to quarrel you can
easily find a motive. Quay's offense, as
far as / can make it out, was taking
Treasurer, or when somebody else was
State Treasurer. and having it made up
by his friends. If this were all true,
what an extraordinary instance it is of
the honor of friends, for we have had
about eight State Treasurers in few
years past robbing their States, and in
hardly any case have their bondsmen
offered to put up one penny. Some
thing realistic must exist among the
Pennsylvania politicians when they
thus lay down their lives for a friend.
1t was once said: Greater love hath no
man than this, that he lay down his life
for his friend;" but in the modern age
the surrender of ones property for
friendship is cause of congratulation
and not of excuse
The security of things is not assisted
by achieving the wholesale demoraliza-
ton of society. 1t is much better that
stability obtains than panic. These &C
cusations are the staple of our politics,
and if everybody believed them there
would not be faith enough in the coun-
try to go to church by. l look to
a few things in a man to form an esti-
mate of his character, and among these
is his addiction to his scholarship
From all that can hear, Quay is one of
the most thorough readers of general
literature in our public life. l observe
that his candidate for Governor, who is
only forty-one years old, is the son of a
State Senator, and his father was man
of influence. The son went to the COL
lege at Pittsburgh and to the Harvard
Law School, took three years to the
practice of the law, then became bust
ness man and banker and railroad presi-
dent, and generally effective in his To-
cality. He has been mayor of his town
of Meadville, and an active campaigner
in years past, a Presidential Elector
and State Senator. All this has been
accomplished in a life of forty-one
years. The only point brought out
against the candidate is that another
politician, who wanted his place, ac-
cused him of spending money to be
elected to the State Senate.
1t seems to me to make this state
ment of the political rival and disap-
pointed creature, the arraignment of
two substantial lives in father and son,
is to love discord better than character,
and to set bad example as a public
teacher.-Gath, in Cincinnati Enquirer.

TOOK THE WRONG DOSE.

How Miners co! c Succur.bcd to a
Dreadful adjunct"
There came chap one day to set up
a drugstore in our mining town, which
had taken a boom and was attracting
business. This wasn't to be 'regu-
lar" drugstore, but tho drug part was
an annex to a grocery and boot and shoe
store The new arrival had just opened
it when Tom Harrison, one of the men
in nv claim, was taken one night with
bilious collie. Ben Wheeler, another of
our men, went to the druggists to get a
remedy but that individual at once said
to him:
81 know mighty little about drugs,
but l took this stock on debt and
thought I'd better show 'em up. The
drugs are an adjunct"
Eyes, but Tom has had bad case of

might miss it 1 don't want to take the
chances. If you do. go..ahead.
81 don't feel fit, and mebbe I'd better
go and ask Tom. If he'll run the
chances will
He came back and stated the case.
Toms collie was worse, and in his des-
peration he exclaimed:
''Git sunthin-no matter what! You
can't MORN kill me, and | shall die any
how!'
Ben returned to the store and paved
around for a spell. He couldn't read
except with great effort but he came
across two bottles, the contents of
which rather took his eye, and he filled
the smaller one with the mixture.
When he was ready to give Tom dose
he said:
Cant guarantee this, Tom. The
Teller says the drugs are only an adj
junct, and you know I'm no hand at
doctorin'."
'Pu chance it." replied Tom, and
down went the dose, and at midnight
he was a dead man.
The coroner got the story as 1 have
have given it, put jury on the case
and had the particulars retold, and
when they had nothing more to learn,
he said:
Gentlemen, can't see whar nobody
was to blame, ana you'll return a YER
dict that Tom cum to his death on ac-
count of an adjunct in the hands of
friend, which the same was drugs as
nobody knowed any thing about. IN.

HOWLING DEMOCRATS.
They Were just as UnreasonabIy NOis,
in 1871 as They Are To-Day.

They Were just as Unreasonably Noisy
in 1871 They Are To-Day.
The frothing at the mouth by Demo-
cratic editors and speakers over the al
legged force bill" is quite familiar to
all who remember the opposition in
1871 to the Federal Supervisors law.
That law was directed particularly to
the cure of the enormous frauds which
had been practiced in New York City
and which, as Senator Conkling said, had
resulted in the return of Democratic
majorities greater than the number of
men, women, children and cats and
dogs in the districts. Originally in
tended more for New York City than
the South. the Democrats nevertheless
regarded the bill as one calculated to
deprive them of few fraud-won seats
in Congress, and hence they opposed it
to the utmost. They fought and fill
bustered against it and exhausted the
language of invective. The bill was
denounced in Congress as providing
"bayonet rule" and ''capping the eli
max of enormity," after accomplishing
the practical obstruction of the States"
and 'outraging every sense of honor,
propriety and decency." Neverthe-
less the bill passed, and during the
years that the law has remained
on the statue book the only
fault found with it is that it is not
strong enough. The Democrats them
selves have not passed bills to repeal it
when they were in control of Congress,
but now, when it is proposed to
strengthen and amend the act, they be-
gin to howl in much the same fashion
as they did when the original bill was
under consideration. They know the
absurdity of the outcries they make
against law calculated to prevent bal
lOt-box stuffing and false counting, but,
of course, they can not disclose the true
ground of their agitation and wrath.
1t wouldn't do at all to say that they
oppose the bill because it is calculated
to deprive them of some thirty seats
which they now hold in Congress by
reason of successful election villaiDy.
1t wouldn't sound we'll for them to say
that all this excitement and turmoil
are caused by the fear that if elections
are made fair in the South they will
lose so many votes that they will have
small hope left of grabbing the spoils
in Presidential elections. Nevertheless
that is what hurts them. If the bill
would help them get the spoils and
plumber they would give it unanimous
support Inasmuch, however. as it is
calculated to deprive them of fraudu-
lent representation and make the
spoils of Office harder to get and more
uncertain it naturally provokes great
bowling and crashing of teeth.-Chica-

MALICIOUS LlBELS.
An Attempt to Discredit Mr.. Wanamaker
with the Soldiers.

Maliciously-false statements have
been published broadcast to the effect
that Postmaster-General Wanamaker
is opposed to the appointment Of vet
erahs, and antagonizes them at all times
and places. Also, that the G. A. r. is
strongly resenting this policy.
Nothing can be farther from the
truth. Mr.. Wanamaker was an ardent
Unionist during the war, and has a
strong affection for the men who went
to the front to fight the battles of the
country. He has always shown them
the preference when possible.
In the Post-office Department proper
there were 16 ex-soldiers in position
outside of the civil service when he en-
tered Office, and now there are so. In
the mailbag repair shop there are "a
soldiers, sons of veterans, soldiers
wives, 16 war widows and IS soldiers
daughters, making 81 in all, or 81 per

Niger is not, as generally sup
posed, corruption of negro, but it is
regularly developed from the earlier
form of meyer, which is derived through
the French from the Spanish-Portu-

English in form than negro and was
formerly and to some extent is still

its use is now confined to colloquial or
