WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 19.-The Raum
investigation is dragging along before the
house special committee with little satis-
faction in the testimony for Cooper. Yes
terday it was a monotony of testimony in
denial of the charge that refrigerator stock
had been sold to clerks in the pension bu-
reau, or that any of Lemons clerks had
been employed through dubious methods.
The few who had positions in the bureau
had all passed the civil service examina.
ton in regular order Cooper again de-
manded that Raum be required to produce
the books of the refrigerator company. and
Raum fatty refused to do so, and was sus-
tanned by the chair.
The Completed Files Again.
Cooper asked Gen. Raum to tell the COM
mittee the condition of the completed files
at the present time. Raum replied that
he would not like to give an opinion until
he could get some figures. Cooper then
produced letter from an attorney in Hi.
nois inclosinga number of slips of pen
sion cases, and stating that he had been
trying to get the status of the cases from
the pension Office for period of two years;
also several congressional calls for the
status of cases in which the answers had
been delayed, and case of his own in
which the call was made on the 9Th of
March last and which was answered yester-
day morning. He presented these cases to
Raum and asked him to inform the COM
mittee the cause OF the delay in ca oh case.
Raum said that Cooper's course was
prompted by malice, and the committee
adjourned to Monday.

hsa,lness. American journalism, on ihe
other hand, exhibits uncommon ability ana
insight, but It's kecnness too often desene-
rates into calculating sbrewdness. III Is
bright. humorous. witty, but more frivolous

In casting the horoscope Of journalism In

ventured that there IL far more likelihood Of

American type than Of The American news
paper approaching the British type. As

AND American PRESS.

In n recent interview with a representa-
tive of one Of the New York papers the Duke
of Marlborough, who is now travelling in
this country, gave his views as TO the points
of difference between English and American
journalism. These views are worthy OF al
tention as coming from man who, besides
being of decided ability, has bad ample
opportunities Of studying the subject upon
which he touched.
In substance he stated that British Jour
nalism differs from American journalism
as much as the English people differ from
the American people. As English society
has been established longer than American
il is distinguished for greater regard for
conyentlonality. Everything connected
with II il governed by more clearly recog-
nized rules, and has TO conform 10 more dis
tipct standards than are observed in Amer
lea. The great variety Of conditions pre-
vailing in every part OF the United states
has deeply impressed itself upon the
character OF the American people, and this
has been reflected in the tone Of their press.
There are general elements Of similarity
between the leading paper Of New Orleans
and the leading paper OF Chicago, or be-
tween the Leading paper Of san Francisco
and the leading paper Of New YORK, but
each one has marked favor peculiar to
itself a flavor which is not shared by any
OF its contemporaries.
In England, on the contrary, there is
necessarily a comparative lack Of this va
riety. one conventional standard prevails,
10 which there is a more or less close adhe-
renee. The type is stronger among Ing
lish people than among the American peo-
pie on account Of the greater importance in
England of recognized habit. This fact
comes out In every expression Of English
character, and In nothing more so than IN
English journalism.
The greater variety OF taste, the larger
liherality OF appreciation which we observe
among Americans when we compare the
Americans and the English as individuals,
is observed In their styles Of journalism.
American journalism is marked by a far
greater number OF differences than English
journalism. IL ranges from the highest
point in one direction to the lowest in the
other. 1t touches every extreme from the
noblest 10 the meanest, and II displays
variety as infinite as the trees in the forest.
English journalism, on the other hand,
conforms 70 one uniform standard; 10 emf
nently respectable, sound and conservative
In sentiment, vigorous and Straightforward
in expression, but rather heavy and unin-
feresting.
English Journalism has the highest digni-
", but dignity that eDcroaches too much
upon the domain Of soIemnity. IL has grea,
power Of expression and great weight OF
thought, but both french too closely upon

The recent letter Of Mr.. Cleveland, eX-
pressing satisfaction at the likelihood ofthe
defeat Of ingalls, for reelection 10 the
United states senate. and expressing the.
opinion that it was a source Of congaatula-
ton 10 Kaosas that she would be no longer
represented in that body by such man, is
being used by the friends OF ingalls, to boi'
ST up. as far as possible, his desperate for
tunes. The letter is 20 be utilized, II seems,
TO appeal u the state pride Of the hansans,
AMI also as reflection upon MI.
Cleveland for its alleged undignined utter
ances.
1t may perhaps have been better for the
communication never to have been made
public but, in this connection, two things
are 10 be remembered. First, IL was PR
yate letter. which Mr.. Cleveland never in
tended for publication, and next, the provo
cation which Iugalls has given Mr.. Cleye-
land in the past is sufficient to justify any
bitterness which the latter may feel.
II is still fresh in memory that
ingalls,. after partaking of and enjoying
the hospitalit, Of Mr.. Cleveland at the
White House. circulated most false and
Il inderous reports regarding the eX-
Presidents domestic relations. And, not
content with thus despicably venting the
splfcn Of his low and vulgar nature, the
Kansas Senator, although occupying the
position OF President pro tempore
of the Senate, actually entered his
slanderous insinuations from the floor OF the
hi sher House Of Congress, and took occasion
TO grossly insult the Chief Magistrate Of the
Rep,. bic. when he knew that the lips OF the
gentleman whom he so iouily assailed were
sealed. If now, when Mr. Cleveland is
priyate citizen. he sees tit to retaliate upon
his slanderer and delamer in private and
personal letters not intended for the public
eve. he has every cause and justification Tor
so doing.
II the people Of Kansas have any state
pride. AN appeal 10 il in favor Of ingalls,
would most likely be disastrous 10 that
,oroughy frightened politician. His re-
a ,pearauce i'm the senate cannot possibly
r aect anything upon Kansas or any other
5 ate but discredt. His entire record has
fr years been decidedly shady, and
his past career, combined with the
fact that his friends are even now
scheming 10 steal scat for him in the SEN
at, in the event of his defeat before the
LEGISLATURE. adds greatly to his already-un-
sa,ory reputation. So far from crltlcislng
Mr. Cleveland adversely for bis letter. the
sentiments therein contained should meet
with the hearty endorsement Of every Kan
san who has regard for his state sincerely
at heart.

This is to be regretted, especially when such
