Beckwith special Agency.

The New York Tribune" of January
25th has the following in regard to S.
C. Beckwith, the New York agent of the
Record Union:
Papers were filed at Albany, January
21st, Incorporating the S. c. Beckwith
Special Agency, which succeeds S. @.
Beckwith as the special advertising
agent for large list of important news
papers. The new company will be COM
posed of S. c. Beckwith. r. w. Beck
with and J. T. Beckwith, with offices
in the Tribune building and in the
Rookery, Chicago. The two latter are
brothers of the first named, who have
been associated with him in business
for the last fifteen years, and who now
acquire an interest therein. The step
taken is looked upon with favor by the
special papers represented by Mr.. Beck
with. Mr. Beckwith is recognized as
one of the hardest workers in his special
line. Although a comparatively young
man, he ranks as the second oldest ''spe-
cial agent" in New York City to-day,
and during the eighteen years that he
has represented his special papers the
business has grown to one of large pro-
portions.

daily newspaper; that they really de-
spise it; that recently a San Francisco
paper sent agents through the land to
sound the people in order to find out
what they want in a journalistic way.
and the spies returned saying that the
complaint was 'the papers print too
many pictures" It did not need such
an inquiry to ascertain that fact. Com
mon sense and common decency point
the way to such complaint. The art
OF the average daily paper is something
more than wonderful; it is shocking.
On sundays, for the matter of that on
most other days, it runs to wonen's un-
derwear, tights, exposed bosoms and
impossible legs. 1t is at once saIacious
and insulting, indecent and an offense
10 the family, and ought to subject all
such papers to the ignominy of being
picked up with the longs. What it does
not do in the way of gross, sensual and
unreal picturing, the sensational paper
does with flaming head lines that six
times out of ten are not sustained by
the matter that follows. One of these
sheets now before us. and which roars
daily Of its enterprise, has a flash head
ing at the top of every column on every
page save one, the editorial In several
cases these heads are from three to five
inches long, and the matter they are
supposed to relate to is but from one to
three inches in length To assume that
readers, sensible people, thinking peo-
PIE, ordinary people, like that sort of
thing is to do violence to the presump-
tion and to offend the reading public.

SOCIAL EVENTS.

Last Friday evening Miss Agnes Por~

residence of Miss Eva Turner, 141S G
street. It was a genuine surprise, but
Miss Porter, assisted by Miss Turner,
was equal to it, and at once set about
making the evening one of pleasure.
The early portion was spent in games,
after which refreshments were served,
and then the young folks took to sing
ing and dancing, and it was not until late
that they departed for home. Among
those present were: Mrs. Catey, Mrs.

It promotes the copious secretion of the

does nothing but good to every portion of
the body. It doesn't do harm in one place

If John Hays Hammond's view of his
case has any friends outside of San
Francisco we have failed to hear of
them. Thus far not an interior paper
has commented upon the case that has
not taken the correct view of it,
namely, that Hammond went into the
Boer country knowing the conditions,
the laws, the form of government and
the requirements exacted of foreigners.
If he did not like the prospect he should
have retired. Having remained he had
no right to plot against the Govern
ment We doubt even. his right to en-
gage in the so-called 'peaceable re-
form movement" Having got himself
into trouble in assisting in England's
scheme to steal the Transvaal country
from the Beers, Mr.. Hammond has no
manly reason for ''squealing.' That is
the long and the short of the whole
matter BY the way, what a wonder
ful facility the San Francisco press has
in getting upon the wrong side, and for
going off half-cocked, as it did in this

NOTE AND COMMENT.

How would it do for the San Fran
cisco press to give its readers a respite
from the Brown sensation and scandal?
If it does not there will be additions to
the population of the insane asylums
presently, traceable directly to the tire
some repetitions of so-called news of
the Brown case
A case of brutality by Spanish sol
diers in Cuba is reported The Govern
ment troops held a town; the insurgents
drove them out, bur small band Of
Spaniards took refuge In a church. The
rebels looted the town, fired the depot,
and left after skirmish with the regu-
lars. Some Of the populace had cheered
when the rebels entered the place. On
their retreat the Government troops
came frcm hiding, so the story runs,
and proceeded to butcher non-com-
batants, making no distinction as to
sex or age. It is added that they also
seized and shot ten men who had, un-
der a proclamation. returned to Spanish
allegiance and had been pardoned. If
half the story is true it is bad enough.
But what can be done about 1t? Al
ways, In all times, the Spaniard has been
relentless and cruel in warfare. He
does not permit the matter of humanity
to stand in his way when an enemy is
to the 'front.' Really. it is full time for
some Power to call a. halt to the butch
erv methods of both sides in the Cuban
revolution, for there is much that is
brutal and barbaric to be charged
against the insurgents also.

The several "welI-built' dams to re-
strain hydraulic mining debris, which
went the way of wreck in the recent
storm, were of the best class, and the
result of their building and of the as
sault Of the storm upon them, ought
to work halt in methods of construc-
ton. until some better plans can be de-
vised. This is upon the assumption that
the commission having the power is
going to continue to issue permits to
build dams. The truth is, that no min
ing dam has yet been built that is not
d menace and that is not liable under
test to give way. OF course if as the
Colusa Sun well says, hydraulic min
ing can be carried on without injury to
the rivers and the valley, there is no
one who will object Valley and river
people have no hatred of hydraulic min
ers, no desire to cripple the industry,
but they do insist it shall not cripple
them and ruin their own industry. That
is a simple and understandable state
ment OF the valley position. But coupled
with it it is the honest belief that no
dams can be constructed within ability
of the mines to bear the cost that will
retain the debris and not menace the riv
ers and. valleys; that no dam can be
built that will stop the coming down
of the fine silt held in suspension and
which first and most damagingly fills
and chokes the river channels and
raises the high water plane.

Should the incorrigible criminal, the
being committed to a criminal and de-
based course, be permitted to produce
his kind? 1t seems to be the settled
opinion of scientists and, assuredly it
meets the level of common sense, that a
swift way to the suppression of Grim
inal traits is through compulsory ina
biIity to reproduce. DR.. Oppenheim in
a recent paper in a scientific maga-
zine says upon this subject:
The belief in the inevitable stead
fastness of personal and family traits
will finally clear our moral atmos-
phere, for we shall and must see that
the safety of society lies in right meth
DDS of development based upon normal
marriages and normal breeding. As
population increases and the complexi-
ties of life increase, the burdens put
upon US become heavier in proportion.
We need more mental and moral back
bone than we have; we are becoming
progressively unable to stand the
strain, it has become absolutely neces-
sary to raise men to a higher level. For
our present standard in character
even more than in brains is a pitiably
low one Just as 1t is practicable to
improve a breed of animals, so is it pos
sible to increase our own worth. 1t is
in this belief that Francis Galton said:
Il argue that, as new race can be
obtained in animals and plants, and
can be raised to so great a degree of
purity that it will maintain itself, with
moderate care in preventing the more
faulty members from breeding, so a
race of gifted men can be obtained
under exactly similar circumstances. I"
Here we have the gist of the matter
There is a consensus of opinion in the
competent that crime is not fortuitous
likewise that there is one sure method
for betterment: I'm preventing the
more faulty members from breeding. +"
