LIBELL0Us "INTERVIEws..

New York has been trying to amend
its law as to libel. The Bar Associa-
ton is opposed to any change But
most of the journals of that city think
some improvements are necessary for
the protection of publishers who do
not designedly injure the complainant,
who can prove the truth of their
statements, or who are hot shown by
evidence to have had any actual NAL
ice toward the complainant
One paper draws attention to the
necessity of a law against bogus inter
views. That we believe to he a public
requirement. If it is not legally libel
lous to publish as a mans utterances
something that he never spoke. and
which perhaps he utterly repudiates,
st is morally libenous and altogether
infamous and ought to be punishable
with severe penalties.
The modern interview is usually a
very interesting method of placing be
fore the public the views of promi-
.nent persons on current topics. It is
hattering to the individual interviewed
and often profitable to the reader.
When it is evidently a labored effort,
prepared with careful elaboration and
in ponderous diction, it is readily dis
tinguishable as to some extent a fraud.
That is to say, the word interview in
that case is a misnomer. It is simply
an essay to which is added some in
troductory remarks and interjected
phrases, for the purpose Of beguiling
the ordinary reader into believing that
the interview was genuine.
A real interview has more life and
snap to it and conveys in more popu-
lar and acceptable manner the opin-
ions of the interviewed person on live
subjects, than any carefully prepared
document can carry. And it has the
merit of being what it processes to be
while the other is a deception.
But the pretended interview which is
furnished by the person reported is a
mild sort of prevarication and occa-
sions no great protest from anybody.
1t is the fictitious and bogus interview
that is to be utterly condemned. And
especially is Il outrageous and inexcus-
able when it conveys the very oppos-
lite of the victims views and position
on the matter discussed. Then it is
public offense and a, personal libel
This has become a very common
thing. A reporter who fails to obtain
even an introduction or an audience
with an individual to whom he may be
sent, will write up an imaginary con-
versation and put language into the
persons mouth whom perhaps he has
not seen which that person would re-
sent with indignation. What remedy
is there in law for such an injury? II
ought to come within the lines of nbel
and be punishable at criminal law.
No respectable paper will engage il
or encourage such an imposition or
the public and indignity to the individ
ual represented. No reporter who
commits such an ofense ought to bt
recognized among the respectable rep
resentatives of the press. Bogus inter
viewing should be suppressed. Pub
lie opinion should aid in stamping i
oct, and if that is not enough thu
strong arm of the law should be in
voked until it disappears from the pub
lie prints.

After the tale that was told by the
white-haired lamb from Kentucky the
following remarks of the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch appear quite pertinent:
1T is pitiful story that story of
how a wicked little schoolgirl led a
poor innocent Congressman of forty
seven years astray, ana kept him
asray for ten years, and made him
do all sorts of silly and wicked things
against his will It would be hard to
find a more pitiable object than Willie
Breckenridge admitting, with painful
embarrassment, that he was seduced
into villeiny ana coaxed and fright
ened into false promises by a horrid
young girl

PENSION FRAUDS.


The ruling of the Assistant Secretary
of the Interior which admits to pension
rights a number of helpless children
of deceased soldiers will add somewhat
to the expense list, but to this there
will be no objection on the part of those
persons and papers which are working
for pension reform. For, as The Her
aid has explained several times, the de-
sign is not to exclude any one from the
benefits Of the pension laws who is leg
ally entitled thereto. It is only the
frauds that are Objectionable. and those
unlawful drains on the treasury that
have been made by misrepresentation
and deception.
Among the illegal beneficiaries of the
government are a number of men who
have been induced by pension agents
to make application for allowances to
which they were not really entitled, but
which they were led to believe We're
their due, the agents obtaining them of
course making money by the transac-
ton
The Investigations of the New York
Times, to which The Herald has all
ready drawn attention, have developed
a great deal of information upon the
subject, from which it appears that
many of such persons We're fairly well
entitled to pension, but not at the
maximum rate The pension rolls of
the government bear the names of tens
and hundreds of thousands of such men.
Personally worthy and upright they
have been induced to accept fun disabil-
ity pensions to which they have no
title. to take money from the treas
ury that the law gives them no right
to take.
1t is shown, too, that the scheming
town or village politician, always solic-
itous about his district or his county,
and without scruple as to the means
by which he obtains the votes that as
sure his success; the indefatigable pen
sion agent or solicitor who drums up
business and fees by going about con-
vincing sturdy men that they are ply
steal wrecks; the easy-going examin-
ing boards. whose members good natur-
eddy certify to false pathologies just to
help neighbor or fellow townsman
plunge his hand a little deeper into the
public treasury, and, finally, Pension
Commissioners like General Raum OF
Corporal Tanner, who have delighted
to strengthen the Republican party by
orders and interpretations that have
made the golden pension stream always
wider and deeper-these are the four
cornerstones of pension abuses. Their
united efforts have taken millions OF
dollars from the treasury of the United
States to be bestowed in unlawful and
undeserved bounties.
The following summary shows
briefly what has been demonstrated
by the disclosures of the Times On this
important matter, specific cases in each
particular having been furnished in
detail

Greenwood Advocate.
Upon the conclusion of the
June term of the Circuit Court for
Abbeville, just ended, both the
people and the lawyers irrespective
of factional lines, seem to unite
with one voice in applauding the
exalted purity and ability and the
noble patience and impartial
judgment which characterized and
crowned the entire judicial course
of his Honor, Ernest B. Gary,
presiding judge.
In thus honoring and adorning
the ermine by a judicial conduct
so honorable and glorious to South
Carolina and her magnificent
judicial history, Judge Gary is
especially revered, respected, and
honored by his fellow countrymeh
of Atbeville-the county of Judge
Gary's nativity.

BY HIS CHILD.
Awful Charge Brought Against
Joseph LOchler in st, Louis.

ST. Louis, June 25.-Joseph
Lochner is in jail charged with
the murder Of his young wife. lhe
witness against him is 5-years-old
daughter, a deaf mute. Abe
slupsky half brother of the muir
dered woman, has taken charge, OF
the child.
In order to test her ability to
describe the tragedy he had the
little one brought to MS room by
Mrs. Slupsky and encouraged her
to enact the crime in pantomlne,
which she does with pathetic
painstaking, emphasizing each
gesture of the little bore arms with
a peculiar exclamation that IS half
scream, half obiurgatlon.
She stood just inside the door

the arms, and waving back and
forth slowly in imitation OF a
mother rocking her babe. Them

great alertness, the child initiated

At this point she gave vent to al
most unearthly sounds, indicative
of her horrible recollection of the
shooting. Then came the falling
of the head and another half moan

OF of death; and after this, ra-
pidly, but with painful vividnoss'
the stripping of rings from the
dead woman's fingers, the wrap

Evans said: We have seen the
stump to-day converted into a
prize ring. To day we have law
against duelling, so a gentlemen
is almost at a discount when an
insult is offered. I am here to
defend ihe Reform Administration
as the most honest Government
ever known.
Voice: GLOW is taxes?"
I'll get to that. Governor Till
mans taxes have been lower, and
his administration has given you
more happiness than any other,
and has paid more. More taxable
property is on the books than ever.
Some one kept on talking about
his paying more taxes, which gave
Evans a chance to say: If you
have you have been lodging here
tofore. I've never been bulldozed
and I never expect to be.
Voice: "Your whiskey is too
high"
Evans: it was the best yeu ever
got.
A farmer: "I'm a Gary Evans
man, but you sell it too high"
Evans: Gone up to my room
and I'll give you some.
John Gary Evans went on to say
that the bill was not rushed
through the Senate. Such a re-
fection is wrong to the members
and such an innuendo is wrong to
your worthy members, That bill
was gotten up from the Gottenburg
system and the Athens system,
and he gave his history of the law.
He was a practical Prohibitionist
and Childs a crank Prohibitionist.
He didn't want prohibition and

glowing account of the work of

the "blind tiger" and how the
Supreme Court legislated the law

show that drunkennesss decreased

number of licenses taken out since
the dispensary closed was nearly
100 per cent more. When he con-
cluded he receiver considerably

mined to lynch the man and all
efforts of the sergeants de vile
could do nothing beyond saving
the man from instant death. Blows
we're aimed at his face and head
over the shoulders of the police
who had by this time arrived and
many of the blows landed. fairly.
At last the police succeeded in
driving the bowling mob back a
foot or so from their prisoner but
to break through it was physical
impossibility.
GUARDING THE ASSASSIN.
In the meantime the news of
the attempted murder spread with
lightning-like rapidly and
mounted guards were sent to the
aid of the police who were still
struggling to preserve the life of
the assassin. With drawn sabres
in their hand the guards rode down
into the swirllng crowd which
slowly gave way before the horses
and at last the centre of the mob
was reached. Then a Gordon was
formed around the ten almost ex-
hausted policemen and the captive
was marched to the station. Even
thus guarded the prisoner was not
safe as men in the crowd made
frantic endeavors to reach him.
The guards repelled the attacks
with the flat sides of their swords
while at the same time keeping
watchful eyes upon the crowd to
prevent the prisoner from being
shot. Maledictions wer, poured
up,n the captive and never before
has such Wild Indignation against
a human being been in this city.
When Mime Carnot reached the
prefecture the death chamber was

by her third son, and was left alone

before the bier and then the widow
was led away by her three sons,
all four weping bitterly. Around
the bier are stationed q number of
high officers of the Presidents
military household, who with
several Sisters of Charity have
watched the remains throughout
the night. The prefecture itself is
surrounded with troops and a
strong detachment of the infantry
is guarding the building in which
Santo the assassin is confined.

By the glare of the electric lights
they saw the bright blade cleaning

descended and then President Car
not was seen to fall back with his
hands pressed over his heart
