DEPEw on INTERVENING.

Chauncey Depew lately made one Of his
capital speeches at a dinner Of the Quaint
Club in New York on the subject OF inter-
viewing. He began by saying that he be-
heyed he was the most interviewed man in
the country, and if so certainly in the
world. He was constantly asked his opinion
about the Presidential succession, about
shaving soap and Sunday-schools. He was
asked what wine be liked best, who is going
to run and whether his mother could read
and write; in short, every conceivable
question that an interviewer could think of
and that he would stand He said he would
divide interYiewers into three classes, as
follows
There Is first OF all, the gentleman who comes
and asks you ore question and then goes away
and writes a column and a half. When you read
your interview in ths paper next morning you
are naturally surprised.
There is next The interviewer who approaches
you cautiously but firmly, with a long list Of
written questions, TO each OF which he
EFFORTS from you an elaborate reply. When you
read the paper The next morning ana see that OF
this vast mass Of material ouly about a stick has
been printed IL Is evident 10 you that the city
editor has sat down upon your interviewer and
that you are in measure at least avenged.
There Is next and last the interviewer who APP
pTOacbes you with an air OF confidence and bon
homie, who puts you at your ease at once by
the assurance that you need have no fears but
what you say viii he accurately reported mas
much as be, your interviewer, Is a stenographer
and writes shorthand. When you pick UP the
paper The next morning you are apt TO wish you
were dead or at least that you had been dead be-
fore you came IN contact with the gentleman who
writes shorthand.
This is amusing and fairly true. Most
public meu have come into contact with all
three classes of interviewers, and have
blessed the breed accordingly. Yet all
three classes are the offspring Of simple
causes. A city editor dispatches reporter
to interview a prominent parsonage of the
day. The distinguished parsonage is found
in bad temper, and the reporter. in dread of
expulsion from the presence, contents him
self with one question. But he knows that
he will be expected at the Office to furnish
more than one answer, and he writes what
he supposes the parsonage would have said
If he had freed his tongue. Or the reporter
finds the parsonage dull, and the city editor
in his discretion cuts down three-quarters
OF column into paragraph. Or the re-
porter, with more enterprise than honor,
assures the parsonage that their chat shall
be confidential, and forthwith proceeds to
reveal the secrets of a private conversation
in broad type. These are everyday occur
rences, and quite account for the horror
which the very name of an interviewer
rOuses in the mind Of the average public
man.
And yet nothing has done so much for the
advancement Of modern journalism as the

An Invitation Extended TO American
Inventors.
The national exhibition of Italy will be
inaugurated in November at Palermo.
Sicily. There will be an international ex-
position connected with it for the display Of
small motors and machines for little indus
tries capable of running by hand power,
gas, CARBOHYDRATES, hot air, compressed
air, Spring, weights, wind, hydraulic and
electricity, of FIVE hOrse-po each, or less.
Inventors ana manufacturers of all nations
are invited to participate in that exhibition,
the first Of its kind ever held in Italy. Di-
plomas, medals and money premiums viii
be awarded exhibitors. The Chairman of
the Executive Committee of the National
and International Exhibition is great friend
OF the United States-Prince Camporeale
Italy is just becoming a great market for
small motors and machines for little indus
tries. The San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce urges that American manufacturers
avail themselves of the important occasion
TO bring before millions Of industrious, en-
terprising and appreciative people the prod
uct of their genius. All electrical apparatus
and machines suited to minor industries are
desired.
At the special request of the Minister of
Agriculture, Industry anu Commerce of
Italy, the Italian Chamber of Commerce of
San Francisco extends a friendly invitation
TO all manufacturers Of small motors and
machines Of California, assuring them OF
hearty rece 9ti0n at the great exhibition.
The chamber will gladly furnish all neces-
sary information 10 intending exhibitors, and
il will also promote, as far as practicable,
the interest Of California's exhibitors at

development of the art OF interviewing 1t
has lifted history out of darkness into light.
1t has flashed truth into places which used
to be muddle OF falsehood and gueSswork.
1t has brought the willy politician into pub
lie view and forced him to take stand
when he intended to trim. It has enabled
the public man TO deny falseh0od and to
confute SANDER. La the old days, when the
editor and his assistants were alone re-
spOnSible for the statements in their
paper, the reader was never sure
whether he was reading fact or nc
ton. Honest as the seribes might be,
they were often deceived. and they unwit-
tingly deceived their readers. They were
not encyclopedias, nor embOdiments OF HUI
man knowledge, and with the best inten-
tiOns they often Numbered. They quite
often repeated the current rumOrs of the
day, which afterward proved to be baseless.
Now the careful journalist goes to the fOun-
tain head for his facts. He gets his politl-
cal Intelligence direct from the leaders of
parties his commercial news from the chief
merchants, his general information from
persons who are recognized authorities III
each several branch. In every case the par
ties supplying this information do so under
the authority of their name; if the public is
deceived it is they and net the journalist
who are to blame. How different history
would be if at every step in its progress the
chief actors had been tapped by interview
ers, who had elected from them their in
most thoughts, and their knowledge OF dis
puted factSl
OF course. the ideal interviewer must be
truthful, and his newspaper must be hon
est. 1t is the sorrow and shame of the pro-
fession that there are reporters who will
put in mems mouths words which they
never uttered. as there are sheets which
will publish interviews which they know to
be spurious. But these excrescences upon
journalism are few in NUMBER, and let us
nope are growing fewer year by year. a
reporter VINO misreports the man he inter-
views occupies the level of a knave. and Is
sooner or later found out; while the journal
who prints his falsehO0ds cannot long en-
dure the contempt which knayery never
fails to win at the hands Of an intelligent
public

SPECIMEN TALK.

The New York Sun has q correspondent
in California whose Imagination would
doubtless do good work in such fields as
Henry NJ. Stanley and Rider Haggard ex-
plored, and at a distance from sober OBJ
seryation which precludeS contradiction.
But in this every day part of the world the
most vivid imagination is expected to retain
a certain relation to facts. 1t will not do
to cut the line of connection entirely. But
the Sun man romances after this fashion:
AT the banquet in San Francisco President
Harrison managed to hurt one Of the tenderesL
feelings Of the whole State-the belief aud pride
~ California wines. He was urged 10 try a GER
tain brand Of white wine, but refused to taste it.
giving as his reason that he never drank any
wine except Champagne. The vticultural inter
ests Of tie state have been standing aghast ever
since that evening.
1t is pretty well known that President
Harrison is not much of q wine-drinker.
lie has not cultivated taste for spirits of
any kind. His opinion on a brand of wine
would have no considerable value. The
introduction OF California wines at a ban
ouet was considered desirable because it
would be accepted as an Endorsement of our
wines by men who do know something
about wine. TIE Yiticultural interests of
California have not been in the least dis
turbed at anything that took place while
President Harrison was in California.

STRAWS.

One of the most significant straws show
ing the direction public opinion is taking on
the tariff question is found in the tariff
plank in the Peoples party platform. The
elements composing the new party have
been impregnated with free-trade ideas.
The Farmers Alliance won its successes in
November on a tariff-reform platform. Now
the best the free-traders can do is to de-
mand that one industry shall not be built up
at the expense Of another. The protection
lists have always claimed that duties on
foreign goods were as much a benefit to the
farmer as to the factory operative or the
factOry-Owner. The protective policy ere
ates a home market which absOrbs the prod
UcJs of the farm, and in so doing benefits the
farmer as directly as the man who works in
the mills and factories. Ii is worthy Of note
that political conference representing the
discomfort of the people and founded upon
diSirust of the old parties should have put
forth 10 resolution on the tariff which might
not be incorporated into a Republican plat
form.

THE CALIFORNIA HEADsHIP.

The Chronicle is much displeased because
the gentleman named by its proprietor to be
chief Of the Worlds Fair Bureau Of Horti-
culture has not met with cordial support
from the representative men Of the State.
Il attributes the criticism that has been
made If MI. MaxwelFs personal character
and qua heati0ns as the senseless oppOsi-
ton of d few men who have their own par
tcuIar candidate and viii accept no other"
I'm view Of the fact that considerable local
opposition to Mr.. MaXwelIs appointment
has been manifested. it may be we'll TO state
the dsinterested view Of the case. When
MI. dc Young went to Chicago to attend the
January meeting Of the National Commits
sion 1t was understood that General Chip
nan would be urged for the headship of the
Bureau of Horticulture. There was no
question Of General Chipman's fitness for
the position. He was so well known that
10 one need to ask who he was. He mad
been prominent candidate for the Office
Of Governor Of the State, and was de-
feaied largely by the feeling that the nomi-
nation should Of right 90 to the southern
counties. During the session of the National
Commission it was announced that Mr. de
Young had determined TO support Mr. Max
we'll 10 place of General Chapman. The
question was very generally asked: "Who
is this Mr.. MAXWELL" The answer that
came was net definite. No one seemed to
know what claim Mr.. Maxwell had to the
appointment except that he was a friend Of
NJ. H. de Young. Perhaps this ought to have
been sufficient, but it was not. There
was d general conviction that there was
rather too much De Young in the Worlds
Fair affairs already without putting De
NOung's chums into places Of possibility.
Tie difficulty Of finding out anything posi-
tive about Maxwell increased the dissatis-
faction at the appointment. Representa-
tive men thought that it was not quite
enough that Mr.. de Young answered for
Nh Maxwell; some even went so far as To
ask who would answer for Mr.. de Young
But De Young was not OF sufficient import
ance 10 justify opposition TO a California
nominee had there been substantial proof
Of that nominees fitness. The opposition
10 Maxwell has grown because of uncontra-
dicted reports derogatoTy to his general
character. We do not know whether or not
these reports are true, but in common with
other CalifOrnians we realize that substan-
tial evidence should be given Of their IN
truth before support should be asked for or
expected. California will do without q
chief Of bureau rather than urge one who
has not the necessary personal qualifca-
tons for the duties Of the position. The
Aitq expresses a somewhat general feeling
concerning the ways and means of Mr..
Maxwell's appointments:
The workers and producers OF this State, who
toll aud sweat aud risk their credit in tile de-
veopment OF its rural Industries, are the men
who should be consulted 10 the selection Of a
candidate FOR the honor" referred 10 by the
Chronicle. They were not only not consulted
but tuey were snubbed and iBsulted aud Ieered
at and lied about when they did express pref
eTence.

A Novel Feature in the Work of Trinity
Church.

A Novel Feature in the Work of Trinity
Church.
Dr. j. Sanders Reed of Trinity Church is
very much interested in the organization Of
a boys military corps, as an adjunct of the
work Of his church. His object is to reach
the class outside of church influence, and
by organizing a company, for which uni
forms will be provided, instruct them in
military tactics and moral discipline at the
same time. This system, though new to
church work in San Francisco, is by no
means so to European Christia societies,
where the plan has met with merited sue
cess The idea originated with certain Mr..
Smith Of Lanark, Scotland, about ten years
ago and since has grown to be a popular
work in all the prominent churches OF En-
gland, Scotland and Wales.
The proposition has been talked OF in
Trinity Church for some weeks, and on Sun
day night DR.. Reed announced the first
meeting for last evening. No one responded
10 she invitation, however, and other meas
ures will be necessary to meet the class with
which 1t is proposed to deal. Cards will be
printed and distributed among the boot
blacks, messenger boys, etc, and Il strong
effort made to bring a company together on
next Saturday evening.
Competent instructors will be engaged for
the military part Of the exercises and the
boys will be drilled in the large hall adjoin-
ing the church chapel DR.. Reed extends a
cordial invitation TO all boys under is not

are getting out from under the tariff issue.
Senator German, one of the shrewdest poll
ticians in the United States, thinks the
Election Bill is the real issue, He does not
think it good politics to do much tariff talk
ing. The Election Bill is the thing. Even
Henri Watterson fights shy of free trade as
an issue. lie reminds Democrats that in
1884 they won on a double-faced platform,
and that in 1888 they lost on an outspoken
tariff for revenue platform. The Kentucky
Democrats can carry their own State on any
issue, but they should show some cOnsidera-
ton for the Democrats in States that can
only be carried by the Democrats by max
