| The New York World reports eN-
president Harrison az saying, Con
gress acted like SET of fools on the
Venezuelan business. 1t is not easily
believable that the cx-president has
used any such undignified and unius-
tifiable language. His fault hitherto
has been an inclination to 90 too far
in what is called Amcricanism, not
in disposition to subserviency TO
England or am other foreign power.
Still it is a fact that his administra-
tion was. so far as public knowledge
goes, strangely remiss in not pushing
this Venezuelan question to conclu-
sion on the lines along which Bayard
and Phelps were working under the
last Cleveland administration. And it
is altogether probable that it will turn
out that if England can show any
tight to this territory.it will be one of
occupation, perfected during this long
lclay.

Gov. O'Farrall of Virginia proposes

Gov. O'Farrall of Virginia proposes
in his message some radical remedies
for lynching. He would fine every
county or city where a lynching occurs
from 5000 to $780, 600 and besides would
make them pay the expense of calling
out the military to protect the prisoner.
This scheme he supplements with a
proposal of the death penalty for rape,
and would give prosecutions for this
crime precedence over all other cases
in the courts.

But does this leave him any better

doubt that the governor permits
this traffic in the sense that he knows
of its existence and has known it all

them up, and it is altogether likely
that more than one drunkard will be
found, who began with this sly hand
ling of the stuff under prohibition. y
And if there are not criminals among
the graduates of this business. whose
first lessons in law breaking can be
traced to it, the fact will he surpris-

FOR CLEAN JOURNALISM.

THE CALL stands not only for legitimate
has attested its earnestness in the one case
by refusing to publish lottery advertise
ments or fakes of any kind and it will now
give proof of sincerity in the cause of clean
journalism by reporting the Durrant case
simply as matter of law proceeding, and
not as morbid sensation, giving all the
news, all the evidence and every notable
feature of the trial, but carefully abstain
ing from any tendency to pander to de-
PRAYED tastes by giving exaggerated promi-
nence to that which IS essentially vile,
vicious and destructive of the best inter-
ests of the home and the community.
1t is possible that by pursuing this
course we may lose the sale of some papers
on the streets, as we have lost some by re-
fusing to tolerate fakes and lotteries. We
are prepared to meet such loss without re-
greet. THE CALL goes to the homes
of the best people, far and wide,
throughout the City and the State, and
it is the intention to keep it always
worthy of welcome there. AS news
paper engaged in recording the events of
the day, it must, of course, report crimes
when they occur, but it will not make
vicious sensations of them. 1t will be al
ways for clean journalism, legitimate Jour-
nalism and honest journalism, defiling no
home into which it goes nor seeking any
approval save that OF intelligent, pure
minded men and women.
