AS usual, since the EVENING JOURNAL
has pretended to give special telegraphic
news, it gave telegraphic news yesterday.
Ex. Secretary Blaine died at II o'clock
yesterday morning The EVENING
JOURNAL of three hours later, contained
a full account of the scenes and incidents
Of the death and complete biographical
sketch Of his life. Such a newspaper
feat was never accomplished in this city
before. The enterprise Of this plucky
little afternoon paper is appreci-
ated. The people Of VII
mington may be slow and old
fogy, but they have certainly appreciated
the EVENING JOURNAL. We have now
the largest circulation and more readers
than any paper in the city. Still, we can
print few more papers, and though oui
edition has been exhausted twice this
week by unprecedented sales, we car
promise enough to meet the increasing
sales hereafter That's what we bought

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
The valley of the Awkward Squad


The valley Of the Awkward Squad.
New York sun.
We have not been able to keep count
of the poetical "hibutes 10 the memory"
of Tennyson that have been printed in
England and this country since his
death but we would not be surprised IL
told that there were a thousand Of them
in English. besides those in German and
the few in French, and several in Ital-
ian. It is now proposed TO collect all
these tributes" into book in honor Of
the deceased Laureate. We have not
had time TO spare for the perusal of the
whole of them, but we must have
scanned nearly hundred of the
thousand In that hundred there are
but very few. perhaps not more than
two or three, worth putting into a
book for permanent preserv ition. At
least ninety five per cent. Of
them all ought to be consigned
to oblivion. Most of them are
really demeaning to their sub
iect and also discreditable to their
authors; many are hardly up to medioc-
rity; others are fiat and mawkish: while
more than half Of the whole lot are
mere jingle and snivel 1t would be
wrong to the memory Of the English
Laureate TO bind them in a book for pos
teIity as proof of the measure Of appreci-
alton of his genius by his contemporary
poets. "Dinna let the awkward squad
fire over my grave, was the touching
appeal Of Bobbie Burns. one of the
bravest and sweetest poets of all time
One OF the two or three tolerably good
pieces of poetry on Tennyson that have
fallen under our eye while going through
unnumbered periodicals. is that Of Swim.
burne, which we printed last Sunday
Swinburne's piece is pretty good
There is fine thought in it, there
are tender passages in il; the form and
rhythm of it are artistic But it is far
from being grand or satisfactory thing.
IL does not illuminate the heavens OF the
soul. IL is inferior in delicacy dignity
and passion to other threnodies IN the
English language, and far inferior TO a
threnody in the old Morse that has lived
for ages. II needs to be clarified and
solemnized. Swinburne must revise il
before he let's go of it, or else try again
We believe we are safe in saying that ouf
of the thousand tributes" to TennysoI
that have been printed since his deatl
last year, not more than twenty O
thirty deserve to be put into a book.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Clenn Tonrnes nnd pure IIenrts.

A few days ago a man who is not
saint, though not sinner enough to be
reckless of reputation and honor, heard
that vile stories were being circulated
affecting both. 1t was said that he WAS
a libertine. that he chad seduced more
young girls than any man in Whining
tom" and that he was generally, shame
lessly, irretrievably bad Naturally the
man was incensed. He went to a lawyer
and they employed detective, and after
great care and trouble the stories were
traced to two young women, usually con-
sidered respectable, one of whom was the
married daughter of the victims most
intimate friend There was not an
iota Of truth in the stories. There
was apparently neither foundation nor
excuse for them The two young
women did not know their victim ex.
cept by hearsay one of them had
never seen him. II 'nce they had no
personal malice; hey had general
malice however, dev oped to a marvel
lous degree. The stories were promptly
stopped by the fai lers who were ap
pealed to. But it is doubtful If IN,
young women feel the humiliation the,
should feel first, for having maligneo
an innocent man: second, for having
stained their mouths and steeped their
minds in prurient, lying, malicious gos-
sip Their mouths may be rinsed with
concentrated lye but how can they
cleanse their minds and purify their con
