Newspaper Humiliation,

The New York World edltorially states
that after thorough investigation 1t
I p satisfied that Mr.. Cleveland did not
8oAy about Mr.. Dana, Of the San, what 1t
Z published but that he said only ''the first
a &0urteen lines Of the remarks attributed
10 him." AZ these lines were a very
4 Nproper expression, and as the matter
odensive to good taste 10 admitted to
havs been a concoction Of the reporter, 1t
s = clear enough that the only two par
49, left to suffer on account of this
episode are the two newspapers. The
4 World dragged the San into ditch, but
5nired itself In so doing. Its present
explanation 10 creditable to it, but 1t may
~ presumed to have been drawn out by
- persuasion impossible to resist; so gross
< violation of right as 1t perpetrated in
spxp0siDg ex-President Cleveland to criti-
sc!sm for statements altogether its own
~ was impossible to persist in.
We trust that the incident will have
rood effect upon the conduct Of our great
newspapers, which it clearly shows
reed moro careful editorial supervision
and stricter attention to verify In their
2news reports. Their reporters are evil
4ontly given great license to indulge
their imaginations In their reports. What
~ wanted is interesting matter and
everything Is permitted but dullness.
The extent Of this license Is disclosed in
the conceded fact that the reporter who
tntesviewed Mr.. Cleveland dared to put
Into his mouth expressions and state
ments be did not use. Doubtless he had
done this thing often before without
yebuke, and deemed 1t quite within
4 the line Of bis duty to say spicy things
Az the name Of his subjects, If they would
not say them themselves. 1t has be-
tsesso common practice with many
~ the journals Of the great cities to dis
Frogard the truth In their search for sem
eoeson, that the prudent reader refuses
evidence to everything until he gets con-
Sosmation of it from other quarters. 1t
s1o very bad practice and we trust that
49, humiliating exposure Of the World
VII serve to check 1t.

A Court Martial.

4 The naval court.mariial upon Com
nander McCalls, which is about as
eombling, seems to be very unneces-
Mry performance after the full investi-
- on mSds into the accusations against
him by the court Of inquiry recently held,
- result Of which this court-martial IL
iordersd. What IL not apparent to the
ordinary comprehension II the need OF
two elaborate courts to do the work
that one could seemingly do as
well. Surely the court Of inquiry
acquainted the authorities with all
that Is needed to be known to determine
whether Commander McCalla was
guilty Of anything or innocent; all the
witnesses In the case were examined
and the accused was represented
by counsel. Tho reports Of the
testimony were published and the
public at least obtained good
Idea Of the merit of the case,
and presumably the war department got
- good q one. The fact that the court
martial has been ordered testifies that
&c considers the accused officer to have
been guilty OF something and Is In effect
his condemnation.
CommanderMc Calais brave and skill
sfll ofiicer, but he seems to be one of
that numerous class Of army and navy
officers who lack the temperament for
the piping times Of peace and who are
going to seed under the monotony of
their duties and their lack of work.
Commander McCalla has the qualities
which would gain him famo and
make him . valuable officer In time

men are suffering from having nothing

Sthe world. They hire soldiers when
they have no aoldier's duty to

RaiIroaders May strike on Tuesday.

T"IITouuers MHy StrIK0 on Tuesday.
The railroad difficulties in Pittsburg are
Sill unsettled. 1t has been decided to order
strike at o'clock next Tuesday evening
II the railroads do not meanwhile make
satisfactory concessions. This statement is
on the authority of Grand Vice Chief Dow
ney, of the Federated Order of Railway
Employees, who says that tho strike will
extend from New York to Chicago. All
save passenger and mail trains will be tied
up.
The entire difficulty now Is the question
OF wages to be paid. OF the sixteen griey-
ances presented to the companies the su per-
intendsnts have promised redress In all
save four. These refer to advance in wages,
reduction In hours of work per day, and
the submission of complaints to a vriey
ance committee before .men are discharged
from the service.

THB Vegetarian society, Of America,
seems TO be thriving organization, for In
its monthly organ. Food, arc published
acknowledgements OF over a thousand
dollars, received rs donations, men,
bership fees, DC, during tho month.
The magazine vigorously advocates
the total abandonment of flesh food.
DR.. Tanner, the forty day faster, Is one Of
their big guns and threatens to take 10 lee
turing on vegetarianism. In this curious
magazlne are many arguments against
meat eating, and It Is broadly declared that
there would be less war, cruelty and crime
" men were vegetarians. Here are some
Of tho best points: Essentially, most
men now living arc vegetarians. Tho
millions OF Asia and Africa as a rule, eat
little meat. The peasantry of Europe
rarely taste II except as a special treat.
Most men live aud toll upon rice, dates,
bread, potatoes, maize, oatmeal, taro. Lions
and tigers may be more formidably armed
but have not tho enduring power possessed
by beasts Of burden. The Scotch and Irish
are stronger than the proverbial beef
eaters. Rice-fed coolies will carry with
case, for hours, load that an Englishman
oan scarcely shoulder. In lining, the
bread and fruit.fed porters of Turkey beat
the world. Vegetarian work men In the
Thames iron works, London, are able to
surpass men fed on the old diet. Health
IL favored by safer food. Diseased voge-
table food may occur, but 1t Is
less dangerous than diseased meat"
Less kitchen work, economy and more
pleasure In eating are also claimed for
Vegetable diet. 1t takes all kinds of cranks
to keep th0world moving.
