The Pollard woman and Breckenridge,
the Congressman, are equally guilty. That
the one should be relegated to the infamy
she deserves, and the other be exempt
from social punishment, would be the
very sarcasm of injustice. If Breckenridge
presents hia name for reelection from
the Ashland district, as he declares he
will do, and the Kentucky voters return
the unblushing nbertine, the bones of
Harry Clay, whose name is benediction

THE following from the Santa Cruz
Surf is fair illustration of what sensa-
tional journalism leads to; the struggle to
make much of little: to magnify, dis
tort and give emphasis to things and
events calling only for plain statement OF
the truth; the catering to the taste for the
Iurid, extravagsnt and awful; the en-
deavor to make the world stand in awe,
and to impress people with the wonder
ful'' enterprise and marvellous news
gathering capacity of the explanatory
press. Santa Cruz had a large fire Satur-
day night. Because of a broken water
main, the fire destroyed a triangular
block 400 feet on its longest side and com
pactly built, but mainly of structures the
loss of which is decided gain to the city.
The Surf says:
Not least among the misfortunes of Sunday
were the write-ups received by Santa Cruz in
the metropolitan press. More undiluted ''rot''
never appeared in print than the ''fake" story
that filed five columns of yesterdays E1anl-
f7leT, and the Call was merely more truthful
because more brief 'Succorp is grand and
generous and glorious and all that sort OF
thing, but Santa Cruzans are no suckers -
The "half-milen in diameter swept by fames''
in the Examiner measures four hundred feet.
The .sseveraI Millions lost by the fire are
hundreds OF thousands of dollars here. The
''howling hurricane would not have fiut-
tered flag more than halt OF the time the fire
was burning. The ''panic-stricken people
whining and roaring" didn't make q single
outcry from the first alarm TO the final subsi-
dence of the fire. Santa Cruz is stricken
sorely enough, but does not deserve to be held
up to the ridicule Of the world.

A Standard Bearer.

In the crusade inaugurated nearly half
century ago against the professional
ignorance of the old school of medicine,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters was stand
ard bearer. It's victories over disease,
when the old-time specifics proved
abject failures. proved that the pseudo
philosophy which sanctioned the admin
istration of violent remedies where the
case required none, which laid down as
unalterable rules blood letting, violent
purgation, the use of emetics and the en-
ployment of corrosive and cumulative
poisons in simple cases OF liver and ma
larial complaint, was in fact the worst OF
unphilosophy, contrary alike to the laws
of true medicinal science, of hygiene and
of common sense. Biliousness, constipa-
ton and chills and fever, as now treated
/ by the bitters, promptly yield where be-
fore they obstinately resisted old-tash-
ioned medication. So do dyspepsia,
rheumatism aud kidney complaint-all
surely conquerahle by this safe and
really philosOphic remedy.
