UNCLBAN JOURNALISM.

A protest against licentious and SEN
sational journalism has come from a
well-known ladies' institute of learning
in San Francisco. This appeal to the
moral sentiments of the men who are at
the head of the press is not merely q
tawdry ebullition of prudery, but is dig
nifed by tone of practical argument
from which no exception can be taken.
The following paragraph from the appeal
is worthy of a respectful hearing:
We believe the time has come for the
papers to take q higher stand on the
question OF public morals. We deplore
in them 'sensationslism," not the OK
posure of crime. We deplore "per-
sonalities," not the public announce
ment of personal acts. We believe that
it is a minority OF your readers who de-
mand sensational, personal or immoral
details rather than the clean statement
of facts and truth. There is too often q
minuteness of detail in the reports given
OF crime, wickedness and sensuality,
which can crafty only prurient and
vulgar curiosity or awaken such curl
osity in innocent and inexperienced
minds. We feal that spreading broad
caet vicious and debasing news in our
homes and among our children, and the
consequent knowledge and easy famil-
iarity with crime in all its forms, has s.
tendency t' lower the tone OF thought
among the best of our people and to
strengthen the worst instincts among
the morally lower classes.
There is always large percentage of
every community which delights in SEN
sational journalism and personalities
that are red hot. Prurient details of
salacious cases in court are esteemed by
this class as the evidence OF enterprise
and Give journalism" and we must
confess, when we calmly survey the
field, that the most prosperoes papers
in the large cities are those that have
been built up on this kind Of offal.
Tney, may, in some instances, alter

respectable position, turn to more
decent and circumspect ways, but like

The Principal Witness Against Them
Missing.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 27.-Mrs. Curtis,
wife OF M. B. Curtis, who few weeks
ago was acquitted of the charge OF mur-
dering Police Officer Grant, has been
served with subpoena to appear as q
witness in the caees of McManus and
Dunn, charged with bribing Jurors in
the Curtis case. McManus and Dunn
will have a hearing before the superior
court November 1st. A diligent search
has been kept up for M. B. Curtis, who
10 also wanted as witness, but the
authorities have thus far been unable to
locate him.
]. B. McFarlane, one OF the jurors in
the case, is also wanted az witness.
He has been traced to Tulsre, where it
is ascertained he boarded south-bound
train and announced he was going to Ell
Paso. Tex. McFarlane disappeared
when the train arrived at Los Angeles.
1t is not believed that he intended 60
ing TO Ell Psso, but that he is now in
Paso Del Norte, Mexico. If he is found
in Paso Del Norte, the authorities will
make a request on the Mexican govern
ment as a matter of personal courtesy
to turn him over to them.

SENSATIONAL EvIpENCs.
How Evans Was Made to Confess the
Tovey Murder,

Tovey Murder.
JACKSON, CAL, Oct. 27.-The extra
ordinary Evans trial for the murder OF
Express Messenger Tovey, revealed
more testimony of sensational char
acter today. Mr.. Masterson, a consta-
bic of San Andreas was called by the
defense. He had taken a conspicuous
part in the efforts made to get the
alleged confession from Evans while in
San Andreas. He admitted that two
slips were printed specially for the pur-
pose OF influencing Evans. He got them
from the sheriff's office. Sheriff Thorn
and Deputy Graves were there when be
took them. He told them what be was
going to do with them. They were
handed in to Evans July 2Sth, before he
made confession. On July Goth he
gave Evans small quantity OF whiskey,
also some opium, two small cooked pills
and little powdered opium. Sheriff
Thorn knew all that was going on. Wit
ness also stated that the defendant had
given him letter and asked him to give
1t to Frank Rocks. He did not take it
Rocks, but afterward gave Evans let
ter purporting to be an answer, and
signed Frank Rocks. This answer said ::
mo use answering further questions; I;
all up between u.s." He never took
Evans letter to Rocks nor received
letter from Rocks to give to Evans. Ar
gnments are in progress, and the jury
will get the case tomorrow.

A COMMITTEE of the council is making
an investigation into the question
whether the plumbing ordinance has
enabled the plumbers to form close
corporation and to advance their rates
for work to the limit of extortion. 1t is
claimed that the requirement. of q license
to enable plumbers to work at their vo
cation has operated to make monopoly
of the business, and that it costs twice as
much now to pay for the work of plumb
ing in new house that it formerly did j..
This has not yet appeared to the salts
faction of the committee. That the
principle of the ordinance is correct can
not be denied. Careless and defective
plumbing in house imperils the lives
OF it's occupants, and as sanitary plumb
ing has become an admitted art that
deals with the health of the community
the business should be subjected to
competent public regulation and inspec-
tion. Men who are mere ignoramuees
and have not thoroughly learned their
trade should not be permitted to
imperil the lives of our people any more
than empires in the medical profession.
Plumbers should be required to pass an
examination, az to their proficiency as
we'll as doctors. If the liWited number
TO whom licenses are issued continue to
extort, that ia an evil which will soon
remedy itself, The gains to be made in
the business will inevitably increase the
number OF competent men who will en-
gage in it, an0 the fact that they will
have to undergo an examination before
they can get license will prove Q
measure OF security to the public
sgainst the work OF ignorant and in
competent plumbers. The only i'm

A BACK-ACTIoN VERDICT.
The Sacramento Bee MuIcted for Libel
ing Jury Eixer.

The Sacramento Bee MuIcted for Libel-
ing a Jury Fixer.
SACRAMENTO. Oct. 27.-The libel suit
of George P. Royster against the Bee,
which was commenced on Tuesday last,
was given to the jury this morning.
The action was brought because of the
Bees charge that Royster had fixed"
jurors, and was therefore not fit per-
son to be appointed deputy county
clerk under Hamilton, candidate at
the last election. The jury was out FIVE
hours and half. standing during that
time eight for verdict for the Bee and
four for small damages to Royster. AS
a compromise verdict was finally
brought in against the Bee for $500.
This Is really verdict against Royster.
as any damages under $500 forces him
to pay all the costs and the defendants
counsel fees ss well. A stay of pro-
ceedings was granted for 10 days. The
sensational evidence during the trial
was the deposition of Thomas III.
Reynolds, ex-deputy secretary of state.
to the effect that Royster had fixed for
him jury on his trial in 1887, drawing
20 names which he had selected.

which it ia published rather than to the
most worthy and respectable element?
The best element is always the most
numerous and the most substantial, and
therefore constitutes the principal
source from which it's patronage must
come. 1t ia only in very new and very
frontier towns where the bulk OF the peo-
pie delight in coarse and prurient jour
nalism. And even in those towns, as
they settle up and grow, the tone OF
their people changes with the new and
better conditions. The fact is that
whenever city has attained the age OF
respectability the moral sentiment OF
the community becomes nice and crit
ical, and demands that its newspapers
should become so too. journals that
then continue to publish skip matter
must fall off in the estimation OF their
readers, and no man, however free he
may be on such topics himself, cares
about bringing a newspaper into his
home that must be hidden from the
close inspection of his daughters.
Clean journalism is indeed that which
the best element of every community
wants and which it ought to insist upon.
The field of news is ample enough to af-
ford sill the matter OF interest which
journal ought to spread before it's read
ers, and papers that reach out for sensa-
tionalism, personalities and the nauseous
offal OF the slums ought to no more be
encouraged or countenanced by res
pectable communities than they would
encourage the circulation from their
public libraries of the fash books OF
Paul de Kock.

One of the important social events Of

a large number of society people from

IT LOOKS now as ii the men who are
charged with bribing two OF the jurors
in the murder trial of Curtis, the
actor, will escape justice by resort to
means as destructive OF public security
as those practiced by the bribers them
selves. They have induced the princi-
pal witnesses to elude service of
subpenas, and it is believed thew have
either left the state or are in secure
hiding somewhere. The crime OF which
these jury -bribers are accused, and
which they in all probability are guilty
of. is the most atrocious which can be
committed. 1t renders justice impotent
in her temple, and reduces Law to q
farce. 1t knocks from society the
last prop of lawful security, and
encourages all kinds OF crime by
the immunity it furnishes to the per-
petrators. 1t gives absolute impunity
to those who can pay toll to these
wretches, and leaves the courts only
powerful against the friendless and the
penniless. Ii these men are not hunted
down and punished, their escape will
be prolific in dangers to society. 1t will
be a sowing OF the dragons teeth in the
very sanctuary of our safety, and justify
the contempt of law which must follow
upon so stupendous miscarriage OF
justice. Until the public were made
aware that the Curtis trial had failed
through the bribery of some of the
jurors, they we're amazed that the MUIR
derer OF Grant should escape in the face
of the testimony produced against bin.
1t is to be hoped that the witnesses in
hiding may be brought to book.
