.STANF0RD'S MANIA.
THE MILLIONAIRE SENATOR PRESIDENTIAL
CRAZY.

News Matters.

WAsIuNGToN, ID. c., May 4.-Leland
Stanford is again in Washington, ana
his boomers are again becoming active.
Stamford himself, it is understood, re-
ports that his great scheme to make
farm mortgages natural currency Is
taking throughout the country. lie
has had several conferences with his
boomers since his return, and, ii is said.
is more hopeful than ever that he will
be the next President of the United
States.
There is report that the Rev. DIR.
John =. Newman. who was the Official
pastor during Grants regime, but Is
now Bishop Of the Methodist Church,
is to make a tour through the country
soon to eXpound the Stanford doctrine to
the people. Mr.. Newman, it is said, IS
to lecture for the enlightenment Of the
people and charge no admission fee.
Those who know Mr.. Newman well say
that for a service of this kind Stanford
is bound to have put up heavily. Mr..
Newman does not work for nothing and
for all his works demands big pay.
When Stanford'S son died, some years
ago, Newman delivered the funeral ser
mon. an extraordinary speech Of the
kind. for which he received the hand
some sum Of $4,000. Now the report
goes that Newman is 10 make a general
tour through the country, lccturing in
every town that the salvation OF the
farmers is the adoption of Stanford 5
great scheme TO make farm mortgages
a national currency.
Politicians and statesmen who have
talked to Stamford seriously since his
return to Washington are convinced
that he is as crazy as loon when the
subject Of the Presidency is mention
ed. On most other subjects hc is prac-
tically lucid. His friends are trying to
get him away from politicians and run
him over to Europe and put him under
the care Of some doctors there for year
or two. and they will probably succeed.
He stated this evening that his friends
were urging him to go to Europe. and
he probably would in few weeks. When
he departs from these shores il is prob

LABORS GRAND DEMONSTRATION IN LON

A Half Million People Declare for the Eght-Hour
Day-l7OOOO WOrkingmen in Line
A Grand Expression Of Popular
Sentiment

LONDON, May r. To-day's labor
demonstration in Hyde Park was a
magnificent success and eXcelled IN
point Of numbers and orderly enthu-
siasm all working class gatherings
since the great reform aSScmblage In
1866. The splendid organization Of the
different sections taking part In the
professions brought together in the
park halfa million Of people, who met,
went through their business and
dispersed without single incl
dent occurring OF diSorderly character.
The leading sections We're the trade
councils. which included eight groups,
representing the leather trades, metal
and cabinet workers, and the shipping,
clothing, printing, paper and building
trades. These bodies, In which were
numerous related trades, mustered in
specific districts OF the metropolis early
in the forenoon. and marched, headed
by their leaders and with bands and
banners, toward the Thames cmbank-
ment.
THE CENTRAL POINT
whence the mass were ordered 10 start
for the park. At o'clock the cmbank-
ment gave no promise of any demonstra-
tion beyond rapidly increasing masses
Of sightscerS. but soon after that hour
the first column OF the procession was
seen advancing with a brave show of
banners toward the National Liberal
Club. and soon the embankment so far
as the eye could reach was dense mass
of moving columns, all keeping
admirable order. The leaders
on horseback, guided the differ
cnt sections toward their proper
places and mounted policemen. by an
arrangement with the trades councils.
assisted In the formation Of the ranks.
The gigantic procession was timed to
start at o'clock. and punctually at
that hour il moved of amid thunderous.
cheering and the blending music OF many
bands.
TIE ROUTE TOWARD rlE rAHh
was along Bridge street. 81. James Park
and Birdcagc Walk. which were lined
with spectators. Masses Of artisans
joined the paraders on the way. until Oh
entering the park the cstm-
atcd number OF men in line
was 10000 simultaneously with APP
pearancc in the park of the trades col
umns. sections Of the special Democrat
ic Federation began to enter The to-
tai number taking part Ia the various
professions t. estimated at 10000, and
these were almost lost in the yaStnes-
of the assembage gathered around
the thirteen platforms upon
which the labor day advocates held
forth. Among the far-strctching. dense
crowd no police were visible. shortly
after 1, resolutions demanding that
eight hours be- recognized as days
work were put and carried, amid thcac-
carnations Of the multitude and by ..
when the paradcrs had reformed in
line, the aSscmblagc began to disperse.
Half a million is a moderate computa-
tion Of the gathering, the character Of
which bore everywhere the ummistak-
able stamp Of the solid respectable ar
tiSan classes.

there are three stages of development.
A journalist is calf reporter He is a
reporter in the miniature tadpole stage,
when his head is so big that it takes all
the rest OF his person to shove it around.
If he is lucky, by and by he becomes a
reporter. After a reporters legs wear
out they make an editor out of him. The
final stage of frog, you know-the ex-
treme removal from the tadpole-is the
bullfrog; too stiff to jump, too old and
tough to eat. who just sits on the bank
and bellows. That is an editor.
''ln the old days the editor called a
man chicken thief, uow-a-d days the re-
porter finds the feathers in his back
yard. The weapon of the old-time
editor was the epithet; that of the mod
ern reporter Is the evidence. What the
editor used to assert the reporter now
proves.
''If the people who complain of what
the reporter writes of them would only
consider what he does not write about
them, they would enshrine him in the
dearest corner OF their hearts. The
waste baskets of a daily newspaper in
any town do more 20 keep its citizens in
good repute than any other agency ex-
cept the fear OF the law and the here
after. Not all that reporter writes is
true. He is not infallible him
self, and of those who are
the source of his information
many are less so. There are very many
men who cannot tell a straight story.
The man who tells the story to the re-
porter is usually an interested party. He
has purpose to serve III metamOrphos-
ing this or suppressing that. The re-
porter has no desire except to get the
truth accurately and completely, and to
write it quickly and entertainingly.
CAN men do not love the reporter, and
1 am glad of it. The fear and hatred of
bad men is a chaplet above his brows. 1t
is the assurance of his honesty to his
badge of honor as q servant OF truth. If
time ever comes when all men love the
reporter, it will be time to bury him.
He will have forgotten his mission, be-
trayed his trust and shamed the noble
fellowship of men who have made the
white cross of the Pittsgurg reporter the
decoration of the legion of honor
