fraud tomorr W, and as soon as the
Cleveland night editor is off watch or
remains to discuss a late dinner, a
lambasting opinion of the great dem
ocratic leader goes up to the COM
posing room and appears next morn
ing.
| The proofs are kept away from
any Cleveland man who happens to
be on duty and the article appears.
| Then the Cleveland men have
their inning and the President is set
on pedestal day or so later; a
style of editing which almost drives
the old Jacksonian Democrats of the
rural districts of California crazy
Several farmers in the San Joa-
quin Valley have gone to the asylum
after subscribing to the Weekly Elk
aminer, because they thought their
political senses were leaving them.
The local department will take one
view of big public demonstration,
the editorial department another and
the telegraphic head lines will be at
variance with both.
On one occasion the local columns
| described the tremendous output of
the Temescal tin mines, and exhib-
tied several large blocks of Temescal
tin in the show window of the bust
ness office on Market street.
On one page of the paper was
] big description of the Temescal tin
industry, with several pictures of the
tin mine and tin bonanza and on the
editorial page was column editorial
charging the Temescal tin mine with
being a fraud and fake to bolster Up
the Mckinley bill and solemnly as
sorting that it had never produced
pound of tin and never would.
In no other paper in the world
could such blunder be made, but
the man who wrote the editorial sell
dom comes over to San Francisco
and never reads the local columns of
the paper, so he didn't know what
was going on, and the Managing ed
itor not having the power to xiii
either article had to let the contra
diction go.
Even if anyone had noticed it in
time, Hearst was floating on the Nile
and no cable could reach him while
he was shooting the sacred crocodile
and ibex, so it had to 60
| Hearst attempted to run the paper
by cable from Florence, Cuba, St
Petersburg and the Samoan islands,
and this resulted in some queer po-
litical gyrations such as were never
before witnessed in the history of
journalism.
In the Examiner office the law re-
porters do the horse racing, the horse
experts do the court reporting, and
some excellent doctors furnish the
brains for the mining department,
while the politics of the paper are
run by everybody.
The Examiner is the best equipped
paper on the Coast today in all de-
partments, but has no one in author
ity to guide the destinies of the jour-
nal with single man sway.
1t is like magnificent ocean
steamship of 5000 horse power,
and triple expansion engines, with
the cook on the bridge, the steward
at the helm, the captain 10 the lee
scuppers, the barkeeper taking bear
ings and the walters of the first cabin
Running the engines.
In the old office Mr.. Hearst had a
private snuggeiy fitted up at an ex-
pense of several thousand dollars,
but no one ever saw him enter that
room. One day he was asked why
and he said he had lost the key. An
, investigation revealed the fact that
the colored porter had appropriated
the Oriental apartments, had been
} occupying the rooms for several
months in the midst of princely lux
ury.
| The strong point of this paper is its
magnificent news department., for it
spends money like water to reach out
the wire to all parts of the globe, and
this one great feature of the paper
has made it popular. In fact the very
vagaries of the journal make it inter
estirg.
All it needs to make it what it
really claims to be, is an acknowledged
