TRUE GENIUS.

There are reporters Of various degrees
of vividness and gorgeousness Of inn
agination in every country where the
modern newspaper has found footing,
but some countries afford better oppor-
tunities than others
The Partisan reporter is no SLOUGH He
is as alert and an active liar, when
occasion or opportunity demands a
rotund and vigorous lie, as any man in
the profession He never allows the
truth, or the probabilities of the case to
hamper him in the work Of romancing
for moment. He brushes aside every
obstacle and gets in his story with all of
its ruthless symmetry.
One Partisan reporter has just let him
self loose on Edison and completed
short but splendid lie that any artist
might be proud Of He stated that the
electrical machine constructed by the
mild-mannered wizard, whom we all
admire, is capable of destroying towns at
distance of thirty miles, and has often
proved its efficiency, in that respect on
the smaller towns, which were incon-
veniently located and which had been
fully insured for that purpose. Every.
body will admit that lie Of such unique
quality and strength Of tone is magnif.
cent product Of splendid Imagination.
In this country the work Of the liar is
more limited. Within the last two years
he has been devoting his energies (he has
had no use for wit OF knowledge to the
construction and development Of tin-plate
mills.
There is not much scope for genius in
that branch Of the art Of lying. ANY old
hack can build tin-plate mill. The
foundations of these mills are all fiimsy
nonentities, the superstructures are air
castles and the reason for their existence
is the necessity Of the Republican party.
There is little opportunity, if any, for
individuality. One tin-plate mill is Just
like any other, so that the tin-plate liar
Of one city has TO use precisely
the same formula that his brother
liar used in some other city.
There is not much difference, even. in the
characters Of the liars-they are all bad.
Notwithstanding these restrictions
however, the American tin plate liars hav,
earned much distinction by freedom IN
fracturing the truth and bold construct
iveness, the dash and vigor, the rugged
recklessness Of the front elevation Of
their structures. They have exhibited
that careless Indifference to rules ant
petulance at restraint which is always
mark Of genius What they may have
lacked in aesthetic beauty was fully com
pensated for in undisciplined grandeur o.

GOVERNOR Mckinney is regarded as a
sincere and honest man. He is one of
the few politicians who seems to advocate
the protective tariff from commendable
motives. He did not graduate from the
Golden club to seek preferment as pro.
lection editor. But here are two extracts
from speeches which shake our confidence
in his sincerity or change our conception
Of his intelligence. In Nebraska he said ::
The tariff cheapens iron and gives the
farmers cheap plows, and other farm
machinery
Mr.. Mckinley was making his "plain
talk, as he says, not a political harangue,
to farmer audience. Was he sincere
and truthful in that statements In
Pennsylvania he said:
The tariff puts up the price of iron and
increases wages correspondingly.
Was he sincere and truthful in this
Statement, toog If sincere and truthful
in both how can he be an intelligent man
i is needless to say that both statement,
cannot be true, because they contradict
each other.

RECENT LITERATURE.

The September Overland will contain
tho most complete description ever pub
lished Of the famous Farallon Islands,
just beyond the Golden Gate. The
writer, Charles s. Greene, was accom-
panied by Peixotto, whose delicate pen
and-ink sketches and artistic washes
have so often ornamented the pages Of
the Overland The rocky shore, the egg
pickers, the lighthouse keepers, the birds,
make interesting subjects of illustration.
Staging in the Mendocino Redwoods,
II, is a continuation Of Mrs. Eames arti-
Gle in the August number, fully illustra-
ted as before by photographs and by the
drawings Of Mrs. Grace Hudson.
Sportsmen win be interested in paper
on Quail and Quail Shooting, illustrated
by sketch and washes by Walter. The
habits Of California quail in contrast
with the Eastern bird are treated Of.

The Inquirer is to be commended for
employing unique advertising methods
when they are not too costly to the pub
lie; but its engagement of Independence
Hall for the Riggin obsequies is quite
too costly demand upon public toler
ance. None Of average intelligence mis-
understand the inspiration of the move
ment, and Mayor Stuart inconsiderately
fell into the error of giving
his official consent Having given
it inconsiderately, the best way out
of the error is the straightest way
that is by revoking the consent that he
never should have given. 1t is no rehec-
ton upon the character of the murdered
sailor to say that a million heroic soldiers
who fell in battle OF died of wounds dur
ing or since the civil war, were quite as
much entitled to have their bodies lie in
state in Independence Hall as Sailor Rig
gin and will hardly be disputed that many
scores of thousands Of them much more
merited that exceptional honor Indeed,
the proposed use of that sanctuary of
liberty for the Riggin obsequies ends the
pre-eminent distinction hitherto reserved
only for those of pre-eminent service to
the country IL is idle TO say that this
imposing pageant has been sug
gosted by military or naval Off

movement is III advised from every stand
point, and the most fitting honors that
could be paid TO the fallen sailor would
be an appropriate funeral with military
honors, such as the noblest of our naval
officers and men have received in the
past. Mayor Stuart might gently sug-
/ gest that newspaper advertising and In
! depend ence Hall funeral ceremonies are
incompatible, and thus assure change
of program without compelling him to
revoke the consent obviously given with
out due consideration.

AS the EVENING JOURNAL prophesied
yesterday that there would be- there are
differences of opinion concerning the
action of Governor Buchanan Of Tenn
essee in committing the sentence of Col
onel II. c. King. The differences are
very vociferous and decided. not to say
violent. The excitement at Memphis is
intense, A meeting was held to
denounce Governor Buchanan, and lynch
ing was advocated. BY order Of the
county judge, the murderer was spirited
away to Nashville Penitentiary. Tele
& rams from all parts of the South con.
denim the Governors action. As
animated yesterday these come
from persons, who in the first blush Of
unreasoning shame, think of the horrible
vindictiyeness Of the cold blooded muir
der only, without any attempt whatever
to put themselves in the place of Cover
nor Buchanan or TO study the facts of
the case as presented to him. That is
necessary. The governors have been
wisely clothed with the pardoning power
to. be used in cases which, in
their discretion, demand the clemency of
the chief executive. Governor Bucha-
nan is a man Of integrity and intelli-
gence He has considered this matter
carefully in the light of the seductive
wiles Of a woman who was young, rich,
beautiful, fascinating, INSCRIPTIONS,
heartless. No man of ancient
or modern times has been able to re-
sist such a woman. History teens with
examples OF the irresistible power Of
women, from Eve down throughout the
variegated list, including all the famous
names in sacred and profane story. Not
a man escaped except Joseph and he left
his coat-and doubts that will never be
explained away. Governor Buchanan
may have been too merciful; if so he has
erred on the right side.

THE Morning News has initiated the
EVENING JOURNAL. It has the same
press and this morning. for the first
time, it prints a six-page paper If the
similarity went further and was confined
more carefully to our example the re
suits would be more commendable for
the imitators and more acceptable to the
readers. The Morning News has fol-
lowed the lead of the EVENING JOURNAL
in getting one Of the presses having i'm
provements which are indispensable to
the demand Of thrifty, steadily increas.
ing business Of city like Wilmington
the Cox Duplex. With that admirable
machine the facilities are much greater
for live newspaper, subject to frequent
changes Of size, to meet the demands of
news and of the advertisers, than can be
obtained by any of the old fashioned
presses. This press enables the News to
follow the EVENING JOURNAL again in
publishing an admirably arranged and
well-filled six-page paper. The
News has done well and IL
looks well-all the better. in
fact, for accepting the EVENING jour
NAL as a good model We congratulate
our lively contemporary and cordially
wish it success, all the more heartily
because il has, as is plain to be seen, fol
lowed our example and thus confirmed
our swifter judgment If there were
some other changes, the first and fore
most, more editorial sincerity, there
could not be any objection to the News
not even, indeed, to its craftsmanship.

THREE LAWYERS VS.. NO LAWYER

] HRtE LAWYERS VS.. NO LAWYER.
The trouble with Blackstone is that he
is too modest, he has not sufficient con
fidence in his own opinion
That was Illustrated forcibly in an
article in which, after explaining how
beautiful IL would be TO turn over tho
conduct Of the elections and the appoint
ment of the inspectors to the managers
Of the Republican party; and stating, in
his fair and reasonable way how the
Democrats had not done that on the
basis of the one accidental, not TO say
fraudulent, election Of 1890, when the
polls were mobbed he says:
This disgraceful- scheme Of pettifog-
ging knavery-which we are told has the
sanction of three of the most eminent
Democratic lawyers in Wilmington
was set in operation last evening.
Possibly ex-Secretary Bayard is one of
the three Of those most eminent Demo
cratic lawyers, - who is going TO perpetu-
ate that "disgraceful scheme Of petit
Jogging knavery" Saying nothing of
the intrinsic Stiffness of the two ideas of
"pettifogging knavery" and most
eminent Democratic lawyers" placed in
thoughtless opposition, It seems strange
that it did not occur, even TO Blackstone,
that there were three lawyers to no
lawyer-to Blackstone.
Now, if Blackstone had a little more
confidence in himself he could go into
court, or in his great newspaper, and
knock out Mr. Bayard and any other
lawyer who might dare to stand up
against him; but he lacks confidence in
himself
Then again, there is no doubt that
Blackstone, who came here TO run pro
lection from conviction paper, has more
interest in the community, more scrupu-
lous regard for the welfare of the people,
a keener sense Of personal integrity than
three most eminent Democratic law
yers" whose families have assisted to
make Delaware the proud little common
wealth she! is, and whose own personal
services to the state and TO the country
have made them eminent.
It will probably appear to a plain, blunt
man, who exercises common sense instead
of political hysteria, that Blackstone has
knocked his plant sky-high by stating
that the members Of the Department of
Elections are intrenched in the action
they have taken behind the sanction and
the counsels of three of the most
eminent lawyers not only of Delaware,
but of the United States.
Besides being eminent lawyers those
men are likely natives and property
owners OF Delaware who have been, and
are, taxpayers and citizens of the best in
tentions and highest and purest motives
which can actuate any citizens or any men
Of integrity and honor anywhere.
The members Of the Department of
Elections may not feel sure Of their
backing" till they make a slight but
obvious comparison between the quality
Of that backing and the eminence and
disinterested emotions of the man who
attacks the backing
10 is probable that those three eminent
lawyers not only know what they are do
ing, but that their intentions and mot
ives are as pure and wise as the acts or
the motives Of Blackstone himself would
