The New Orleans Imbroglio.

The Examiner has. the follow
ing:
As is usual before any great
professional contest the very wise
men are beginning to give "tips'
in relation to the coming fight az
New Orleans.
One such convulsively grasped
a reporters ann yesterday and,
dragging him into doorway, whis-
pered: "Just got the straight
thing about the Dempsey fight.
FitZsim mons will lose surely, and
for money certainty that will be
as big as his winnings if he should
win"
"You see," said the knowing
one, "Fitzsimmons is in the ring
30 make money, and If he whips
Dempsey his career will end, be
cause nobody will fight him. If
Dempsey whips him Fitz can make
twenty or thirty paying battles
with men whom Dempsey has
whipped. Take my tip and wager
on Dempsey, if you bet at ALL
Respect for Fitzsimmons' power
seem 10 increase as people study
him nor Q carefully. His peculiar
form and carriage are misleading
He seems slow and awkward, but
is not 50.
On the contrary, he is a six
footer of good physique, who is
simply bone and muscle at 154
pounds. In ordinary flesh his
weight runs not FIR from 40
rounds. Just how Dempsey, even
conceding his wonderful general
ship and skill, is going to over
come such a handicap as Fitzsim-
mons form and reach is not easy
TO understand.
1t was stated last night that the
special rate to New Orleans for
the Dempsey Fitzsimmons fight,
secured by w. r. Vice, had been
declared off by the Southern Pa
citic Company, and that the party
which intended to go down had
broken up.
Tire precise age of Jack Demp-
sey seems a matter for concern to
many of the men about town. He
was born at the Curragh, County
Ireland, on December 10.
1862.
Robert Fitzsimmons was born
It Helston, Cornwall, Eng, June
Lth. 1862, and is therefore, six
months older than Dempsey.

The present board of aldermen had
not at any time so thoroughly Justlhed
the reason for its existence as it did on
SATURDAY. evening when it met and re-
yoked the charter given the Asheville
street railway company to extend its
line on to Valley street. 1t
was apparent from the actions OF the
company that it had no intention OF
adopting other than obstructive tactics
so far as Water street is concerned; and
that it would 20 up Valley street tor the
money there was in it. This proposed
action was smart" trick, but not an
honest one; it was one that meant
breaking OF faith with the aldermen and
the latter very properly resented 1t IN
way that will probably be effective
We are not going to cry over spilled
milk, but it is fair to remind those VINO
differed with US in the tcn.cent fare mat
FER that the street railway attempt to
occupy Valley street is simply part OF
the spirit that holds up" the city tor
an extra nickle in plain violation OF an all
too liberal charter. 1t is a step farther,
but of the same kind. and it can, and
probably will be, justified on very nearly
the same grounds. To allow one viola
ton of charter because a compan,
says it is not making money is to invite
another and greater one.
But we are glad to see some reaso
for believing that the board of aldermen

Inexcusable Iudeucy.

The Fayetteville Observer, a paper
whose opinions are always entitled tc
respect, says of one feature of the Motz
trial:
"The Motz trial, removed from Lincoln
county toGleveland, involving the trag
edy OF the killing of Sam Motz and tn,
wounding OF Robert Michael, and the
pitiable story OF the ruin by the latter OF
Maggie Motz, is told in many of the
North Carolina papers in all its harrow.
ing circumstances of the shedding oi
blood, and all its impure details of a sin
by which young mans life was clouded
and a woman tell. We had about as
soon be charged with highway robbery
as accused of prudery, but we regret to
see any part of the southern press devot-
my its pages to the enterprising journal
ISM which serves up to its readers the
full text of the proceedings OF Cleveland
county superior court-surrendering it's
columns to mass of matter which
makes the father or mother fain to put
the cherished family paper out OF sight OF
son and daughter about the hearth
stone"
These are the words Of truth and So
serness; they deserve attention, for the
charge is serious one. 1t is, in effect,
that number of North Carolina papers
are guilty of publishing obscene matter.
insulting the intelligence and the sense of
decency OF their readers. with the plain
intimation that an unveiled recital of the
filth Of the Motz trial was the kind OF
reading they desired. Webelieve that, as
to few papers, the charge could be
sustained. These few printed the details
OF the trial with disre gard of decency
and with badness and a boldness of ex
preston that were appalling. With a
pretty wide knowledge of the press of
the United States for the last fifteen
years, we do not remember to have seen
the like before in papers pretending to
respectability. This is all the more to
be regretted when we remember that
these offending papers were of clas.
that are taken into the family circle with
out suspicion of danger to old or young.
1t IS no more suspected OF them that they
will spread stream of filth before
you than it is suspected of the friend you
invite to your home.
There was absolutely no excuse for
this offence against decency. The trial
might have been reported fully without
offending the most fastidious. The rul,
IN such cases is well understood by every
competent journalist. 1t is that all ref
erence to indecent testimony is to be
avoided altogether if that testimony is
not absolutely essential to the under
standing OF the significant features of the
trial; If it is essential-if one who was
not there would not understand the case
without knowing them-then they are
to be put into words that will suffi-
GENTLY convey the material portions
OF the testimony but will not pro-
yoke the curiosity Of the young or
offend the sense OF common decency
Of anybody. The editor who cannot
thus Discriminate has not learned his
business and shosld retire on the first
opportunity; his capacity for harm is
too great to permit OF his being regarded
as a safe man in the profession he has
,hesen without sufficient reflection as to
the responsibilities involved.
