The statement Is made that thore are i've

tho spread Of the infection2

Word was received Wednesday that Ave
deaths had occurred In New York city from
cholera How the epidemic came is not known.
II popular condemnation falls on tho foolhardy
proprietor Of the fake New York World for the
Introduction Of the disease. no one need be
surprised.
From ne wdshina'on Pns.
1t seems to us that the New York World IA

Hrabbers of Long Island. The World, moro
than any other person or thing. is responsible
for the fright. From the very inception Of the
panic that paper has exhausted its resources
OF effort and ingenuity to magnify the horrors
OF the cholera. to keep them ever in the minds
ofthe ignorant and the credulous. to play upon
mems fears. to infame their imaginations,
and generally to bring about a morbid
public sentiment, under the influence OF
which almost any barbarity might DO pos
eible. Its pages have blazed with startling
head lines; its columns have literally reeked
with scourge and pestilences. with death and
terror. The bay was filled with floating
plague: infection was discovered In various
parts OF the city; the whole atmosphere was
made to palpitate with dread. How. then.
shall we blame too severely the simple rustics
OF the South Shore for having been democrat

The World OF this morning Is o living evil
dence OF the fact that a newspaper may be q
worse pest than the cholera itself. No timid
person OF limited means Of obtaining accurate
Information could read 1t, or even look at it's
first page. without alarm. It gives up not
merely its first page. but three entire pages
to sensational cholera news. all calculated
with diabolical ingenuity to spread panic
wherever the paper goes.
F,om me Marine Journal.
The World printed what purported to be a
long interview with Pilot John Rolf. together
with an alleged picture Of him. regarding his
experience in bringing the death ship Mo-
ravia into port. Since John Rolf died one year
ago last August. 1t IL scarcely probable that
he either brought the Moravia in or gave an
interview to q sneak on the staff OF the World.
Az a matter Of fact Pilot Thomas Conner of
the A. NJ. Lawrence took the Moravia at Sandy
Hook. and. acting on the instructions Of the
health officers. he expressed himself to no
newspaper reporter. Therefore,. the Worlds
interview was a fake. pure and simple-like
most Of the stuff that fills that newspapers
columns. It Is this kind Of a publication that
brings journalism into disrepute. and honest
men should boycott it

We are surprised that q reputable paper.

common consent Of all decent papers and all
decent persons acknowledged to be the most
mendaclous paper ever published in America,
1t has been exposed time and again in false

victed 1t Of forRery in the matter Of pretended
interviews.
Ftom the Cleveland Pres.
The New York World had a fake interview
with John Rolf. alleged pilot Of ono of the
cholera-infested ships. and THE Sun shows
that Rolf has been dead for more than a year.
Rolf isn't half as dead as the World will, be
