MILBANK's OPPONENT.
The Due de Morny Not Party to the
Duel.
From the Philadelphia Inquire

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
LONDON, April 29.-The man who was
wounded in the duel with Harry Vsne Mil
bank at Ostend, last night, was not the Due
de Morny, but Frenchman, who is still un-
identified.
The reason for supposing that the duo
was the man with whom Milbank fought
was that he and Milbank had violent
quarrel at Brussels on Tuesday. aud Mil>
bank telegraphed to a friend here that he
would fight de Morny at the earliest oppor-
tunity.
The duel was between Milbank and a
Frenchman, whose name no one has yet
been able to ascertain, and who is unknown
to the police.
The duel was with pistols, and the dis
lance twelve PAGES. The Frenchman was
woun led in the hip and was at once con-
veyed to yacht and Immediately disap-
peared.
The duel was brought about by causes
that have no connection with the Borrowe-
Drayton affair. After the meeting between
Fox and B0rrowe at Nieu yort on Saturday ,
Milbank WENT Brussels, the others going
on from Ostend to London, and put up at
the Grand hotel. On Monday be dined in
the hotel cafe. The story at the hotel is that
near his table sat two Frenchmen at an-
other table, who spent most Of their time
during dinner making insulting remarks
about Englisbmen, which were obviously
intended for Milhank's ears. he paid no
attention to them until they came out of the
cafe, when be met them 10 the courtyard Of
the hotel and slapped the face OF one OF
them. The result was Of course, q challenge
and duel.

MYRoN ROCKER OF THE ALBANY "PREss"
DEFINES THE DUTIES OF EDITOR AND
REPORTER.
The answer depends upon what kind of
newspaper it is There is a class of news
papers, the leading feature of which is to
publish all the Suggestive and immoral"
matter they can get. and when 1t is scarce
they manufacture it. Such publications
circulate among class Of readers of like
character, and they "go as far" as they
please.
But my experience in journalism, cover
ing nearly forty years. long since convinced
me that a newspaper which is the ful6ll~
ment of its duty to publish the news of the
day, can publish any ''immoran case in
court or out OF court, If it has an editor Of
not only good judgement but decency TO
handle the reporters copy. 1t is the duty
OF the reporter to lay before the editor
everything suggestive or immoral" and it
is the duty Of the editor to eliminate, re-
construct aud make proper to read in the
family circle, the matter put In his hands.
All the responsibility rests with the editor
handling the copy, and regret to add that
there are too many so-called editors occupy
ing that very high position, who are totally
untitled for it MYRoN H ROCKER.

HALsTED WANTS THE YOUNG PROTECTED.
NEW YORK, April 30.-I cannot furnish
an essay on the subject Of the daily litera-
ture of pruriency. Ny view is that there
should be free rather than stiuted reports.
but that the common decencies should be
observed in revision; that matter should be
prepared for publication with such reserva-
tons as are imposed in conversation when
ladies are present. The subject is one full
of difficulty as we'll as of delicacy. 1t
should be handled with a sense Of respon-
sibllity and remembrance that the young
are the greatest readers and the corruption
OF youth the greatest of misdemeanors.
1t Is to be noticed, however, that the
newspaper successes that are most conspic-
uous are very often associated with gross
ness Of detail in news of crimes and disre-
gard of propriety in personal advertise
ments The English method of giving
police reports strangely particular and
copious under the most unpromising head
lines is an Improvement upon the Anei lean
method of giving the dirt that Is passed the
most glaring display.
II it must be published it need not be dis
tinguished and pointed out with exclams-
ton points II the people will have mud
pie. suppose the press will bake it and
serve it hot, The change for the better
must come from the people at large. The
press is rather representative than creative.
You notice, do you not, that when journal
has made a sensational success it has drift
toward decency. That is hopeful sign.

In answer to the question, "How far a

ing in the same cause. These sporadic
efforts to uncover the vice seem to me to be Of
very doubtful utility. But among those who
complain are many "prurient prudes,"
as thsy were once called by Charles Reade.
They are the very people who like TO read
filthy details. do not believe q newSpa-
per is justified in putting immoral pictures
of any kind before its readers, unless its
motive is TO expose and suppress vice, and
it should be sure OF its ground before it
does it for that purpose. 1t is a well-known
fact that the English newspapers of highest
reputation go farther than their American
contemporaries in the publication of court
news OF the character described, but that is
no justification for American newspapers,
except for those people who point to En-
glish journals as models OF propriety. l
think the pitiless publicity Of the press, on
the whole, makes for righteousness.

EDITOR COCKERILL WOULD NOT PRINT
WHAT WOMEN OUGHT NOT TO READ.
In reply to an interrogative as to how
far newspaper can TO go in the pub
LEGATION of court news ia which evidence
taken is Of a suggestive and immoral
nature, would say that it would appear
from recent examples In New York that
some newspapers can go great deal fur
Their than the public good would justify.
On the question how far they
should go, my views are emphatic.
A newspaper editor has no right to
print anything in his columns that does not
serve some prouer public end. To print
salacious matter simply because it has been
produced in a court room is just as great an
offeuse against public morals as TO print
similar matter gathered for gain in the
slums. l know that it is held in many
newspaper offices that publishers are not
entirely responsible for the advertising
which is paid for and inserted in their
columns, and that their moral obligation
ends With editorial expression.
1t is an easy matter to keep up moral
display on the editorial page of a newspa-
per while devoting the remaining columns
to sensational, questionable advertisements
and demoralizing literature generally. The
theory that the pu lie should have what it
wants in the way Of ''news" has enriched a
great many publishers, but 1T has never yet
made great newspaper of character and
influence, and never will 1t unfortunately
happens that our courts are often the in
struments of bringing to the surface de-
tails of divorce and criminal suits which
are absolutely disgusting and demoraliz-
ing.
To say that a newspaper is justified in
printing these repulsive details because
they come in the form of testimony is pre-
posterous, and where it is done simply TO
pander to a depraved appetite which is
willing to pay for what it revels in. 1t
seems to me that the proper guide for an
editor or publisher always is to assume that
he will not print in bis own newspaper
what he would not be perfectly willing to
have his wife, his daughter or any woman
he respects read in public. OF course it be-
comes necessary sometimes to express
views in terms that are not always pleasant
or agreeable to decent and respectable peo-
pie When this Is done the purpose should
be plain and the resultant effect healthful
to public morality.
Assuredly the recent publication Of the
testimony in a certain CASE which brought
out the details of DR.. Parkhurst's visit to
a notorious den could in no way contribu to
to the sum OF public morals or aid In any
way in the reformation Of evils long known
to exist. Such publication was a clear case
OF pandering to the taste Of the prurient
and the depraved, and the motive behind il
was purely mercenary.

On Tuesday evening the old soldiers.
their wives and the populace Of Ogallah
and vicinity did themselves proud. The
first camp fire ever held at Ogallah was
held there at that time, and some three
hundred persons participated. Wa-Keeney
went by wagon, by buggy, on horse back,
by hand Car, and those who could not
walk went in the palace cars.
The hall was tastefully arranged and
draped with flags and bunting, and by
Z o'clock was packed with Trego county's
loyal hearted men. women and children.
Comrade G. G. Yetter was elected chair
man, when the entire evening was devo-
ted to speech making. INDUCED in by

male, and music furnished by THE Wa
Keeney Glee Club" One pleasant fea-
ture of. the exercises was the recitation,
"Sheridan's Ride" by Miss Mapes. 1t
was well rendered, and the young lady
did herself great credit.
From 8 to IL o'clock the ladies served
supper in their dining hall, and when
Comrade "Uncle Billy Cowden" announc-
ed 'all who have empty bread baskets
will fall in and repair to the dining
half We fell in, for we had kept ours on
the verge Of emptiness for several days.
And such supper, I want to say right
here, as for cooks, Ill put up the ladies
OF Ogallah and vicinity against the state.
Everything was neat, tasty and in perfect
order, and an abundance Of everything. 1
never before sat down to a meal Of the
kind where there was such an abundance
of everything SO nicely prepared and 80
