NOTE AND COMMENT.

IT is probably the fate of newspaper
men more than others to be besleged 70
give something for nothing-one OF the
appurtenances, so to speak, OF the bust
ness. But it must be confessed that It
puts the sincere journalist to the very
limit of patience very often to be be-
sieged as he is, to do for this, that and
the other at his own cost, and without
rhyme or reason.
We speak of the every day experience
of newspaper men, when we say that
they are constantly besought to violate
the eommonest rules of business and set
precedents which would inevitably
work their destruction. Be this said,
however, that these attempts to get
service free come far less frequently
from the poor and those unable to pay
than from the class Of people abund-
antly able to be free from obligation
to newspaper publishers.
The very worst offenders with whom
the newspaper office has to deal are
those good people who run church, So
ciety and similar entertainments.
Largely, not all of course, these worthy
citizens beset the newspaper offices to
do advertising without consideration.
They are told that they must announce
their entertainments for admission fee
in the business columns first, and that
then such publicity viii be given to the
affair as its news quality warrants;
though In cases Of nure charity and

The story comes by cable that plot
is on foot in France to overthrow the
republic and make the Prince of Or
leans ruler. It is to be done, however,
through the trick Of pretended loyalty
to the republic, by which means Prince
Henry is to get a footing in Government
circles. From that to a coup by
which he would be made ruler the Roy
alists think will be. short step. The
very fact that 1t is announced Is evil
dence that it will not be accomplished,
and we may doubt if it will even be un-
dertaken. If, however, the Royal1sts
should try it, they will be promptly
brushed aside by the French people.
They have passed the experimental
stage in government, and there is
nothing in French politics to indicate
desire or willingness to again bend the
knee ait the foot of a throne.
The record-union., 1896-03-27

public-spirited effort the paper will do
a good deal more than that.
| But this is rarely satisfactory to the
applicants. They go away grumbling
and no doubt sincerely puzzled to under
stand why a. newspaper cannot run
without an income from legitimate
sources. Finally, however, they return,
| finding the necessity for reaching the
public ear imperative, and haggle to
the last cent for the smallest possible
outlay under which they can secure
the largest possible space for their own
ends.
| We have had instances in this office in
which these well-meaning people have
frankly said I'VE do not want to spend
money in advertising; we want to make
all we can and spend as little as posi-
ble." They are totally oblivious to the
fact that that somewhat resembles the
case of the newspaper. 1t wishes to do
all it can, but to have as large an in
come as is possible that it may do, and
may lay by penny for the rainy day
The idea that newspaper conduct is
| a business is the most difficult of all
others to drive into the understanding
OF large number of people. With rare
exceptions indeed is refusal to give
away newspaper goods, however po-
Htely -couched, however supported by
reasons plainly stated, received with
good temper. The newspaper man is
usually given to understand by word or
act that he is an extortioner, filed with
uncharitableness and all manner of ig-
noble selfishness.
These same good folks would never
dream of entering a store of the mer-
chant and on the basis of a purchase
of twenty-five cents worth of tape ask
the gift OF suit of clothing, or dress
pattern. Yet they do just that thing
with the newspaper and are aggrieved
by refusal
We suppose this sort of thing must be
endured, that there will never be an
END to 1t; but the hope is entertained
that some of the worthy people to whom
these lines in all kindness are addressed
Will put themselves in the other fell
lows place" in fancy for a moment
and then examine the situation. We
trust they will make an earnest effort
to apply the practice in which they in
dulge to their own business and ascer-
tain by some careful figuring how long
it would take that business to cut its
own throat by self-robbery.
All the good newspaper asks is fair
play in this world of struggle and eff
fort, and if those who profess to be its
friends cannot accord it they will GER
tainly not complain If it is refused to
them. We cannot drop the subject
however, without word Of admiration
for the splendid few who come to the
newspaper desk to do business in a bust
ness way, that noble band of true
hearts, who, having something to an
nounce that will be of profit to them to
nave known, walk up to the counter and
buy the advertising space they desire
and pay their money without endeavor-.
ing to tack upon the simple transaction
OF bargain and sale conditions that are
impossible, humiliating, or niggardly.

A srEREoTYPED ANSWER.

Recently Senators White and Perkins
signed a letter addressed to the Secre-
tary Of the Interior in which they de-
clared that mines were frequently pat
ented to the Central Pacific Railroad
Company, and that the miners got no
forewarning of proceedings intended to
divest them of their title. While this
is not the language, it is the purport of
the letter. There is a vast amount of
miserable subserviency to what is sup
posed to be popular opinion. Every ras-
cally Congressman is playing poltroon
in this direction. The same spirit mani
tested toward the rich is called turnkey
ism; SO that demagogism and turnkey
isp are merely equivalents. The man
wl1D is a demagogue possesses the char
acter of a turnkey. He is a demagogue
because he pays court to power, and he
is a turnkey for the same reason.
That two United States Senators rep
Fesenting the State Of California would
make a statement as fact which was not
the fact is a deplorable evidence of the
decay Of manly character in the average
Senator. The Record Union" treated
this matter in way which would not
escape the attention of it's contempo-
raries, nor Of the Senators named. It
characterized the statement of Senators
White and Perkins as a plain this
years lie" and that characterization
simply clothed the fact When the edi-
torial was shown to Stephen M. White,
he made a reply relating to skunk de-
partment and Of somebody being hired
to stink. For the past three centuries
this smile has been used. It has been
rendered into poetry for perhaps two
hundred years, and is the resort of all
weak minds. The fellow who is devoid
skunk" or alludes to IAN offensive
little animal" It was rather poor de-
vice at first, but the centuries have not
improved it. The paucity of Senator
Whites wit is equaled only by his want
of veracity. He was asked the question
plainly. IL he knew of single instance
in California where the railroad COM
pany had obtained patent to a mine,
where Il had sought to divest any miner
Of his title to his mine. Of course Sena-
tor White knows of no such instance,
because there is none. If there were in
stances of this kind, they would have
been hunted out and presented in the
most offensive possible manner. One
instance would have been made to dc
duty for a thousand. Everyone who de-
sires to charge the railroad company
with wrongdoing of any kind would cite
that instance and repeat the recitation
as If the instance were new. There are
no instances, and therefore Senators
White and Perkins took a large liberty
with the truthwhen they made the state
ment- They were brought face to face
with the consequences of their moral
delinquency in a manner which gentle
men cannot afford to ignore; but they
make no reparation and they offer nc
apology. To their want of veracity they
manifest the additional moral turpitude
OF Indifference as to their reputation.

Fred. Stutz, a line1nan, met with a
serious accident yesterday by falling

the Bruce House, and from there to the

it is feared, injuring himself internally.
He was taken in the city ambulance to

Turkey has now officially called upon
France and Russia to interfere with the
Egypto- English programme of advance
I'D the Nile. OF course. Turkey did not
make this demand until pushed by
Russia and France to do so. But this
will not check the English movement
Nothing will do that short of threat to
interpose by force of arms. The dis
patches say that the probability is the
Turkish protest and appeal will have di-
rectly the opposite effect in England
that was intended by the Porte; that
it will rouse the English to enthusiasm
in favor Of the advance, where hereto
fore they have been cool upon that sub
iect. The Briton dislikes of all things
q. backdown, and now being actually in
the movement against the Mahdists,
British subjects will be disposed to see
II through. The chance, therefore, for
difficulty between Russia and England
is something more than possibility.
However, Russia cares very little about
the Nile expedition, except so far as she
can make the occasion serve her own
ends. It is possible, therefore, that the
Lion and the Bear may come to an I'M

As DR.. Jameson comes into and goes
out of court, where heisnow under exam
ination for raiding into the territory Of a
peaceful neighbor, the crowds, titled
and untitled, tradesmen and workmen,
men and women, cheer him to the echo,
and this has been done even in the por-
tails of the house of justice. 1t is per-
fectly clear that dt is not intended to
convict Jameson. Tt is just as clear
that he has been proved guilty. 1t has
been established before the court al
ready that the invading forces We're
English, commanded by English officers
nominally serving the South African
Company. 1t is not even disputed that
the march of the invading force was
aimed against johannesburg, and that
the JJitIanders were armed and waiting
for the arrival of the column to declare
the Boer Government overthrown and
to maintain the revolutionary organ1za-
ton by force of arms. This, then, was
q crime, an invasion of the territory Of
one with whom England was at peace,
and which she was bound by treaty
compact to aid and defend. But Jame-
son and his men will not be convicted,
or, if held, wilP get off with nominal
punishment. Thus England will fur
nish the world with new evidence that
when the question is one of conquest of
territory, one for the broadening of the
hem of her garments. she has no re-
proaches to pour upon those who pro-
mote the territorial expansion, no mat
ter what the means employed.

Section 80 of the Insolvent Act of 1880
is aimed not only at cases where an in
solvent debtor, in contemplation of in
solvency, within one month before filing
his petition in insolvency, causes his
property to be seized, ETC., with a view
to giving a preference to a creditor or
person having a claim against him, but
also at all persons who receive assign
ments, transfers or conveyances of his
property within the same period, having
reasonable cause to believe that such
person (the assignor) is insolvent and
that the transfer, assignment or con-
veyance is made with a view to prevent
his property from coming to his as
signee in insolvency, or to prevent the
same from being distributed rateably
among his creditors, ETC., in which cases
the transfer is void, and the assignee in
insolvency may recover the property or
it's value
Where there is a transfer by an in
solvent debtor to his creditor, not made
in the usual and ordinary course of
business, the transaction is presumed
prima facie to be a preference, not al
lowed by Section 55 of the Insolvent
Act. Such presumption, however may
be rebutted by showing that no prefer
ence was intended and that the insolv-
ent intended to treat all his creditors
alike.

tians, and to aid a Christian is some
thing that leader cannot think of. But
he cannot afford to refuse the advan-
tage the Abyssinian war with the Ital-
ians gives him. He must, therefore.
do nothing to impede Menelek or dis
courage him, for is not that dusky
warrior causing a European Power
trouble and tribulation, and is not that
game for the Mahdist bag?
Then, too, the Mahdi dreams of con-
quest. He has an ambition to move
down the Nile. To take Cairo and raise
his standard at Alexandria is not a
mere dream with him; it is to his faith
to be the fulfllment of prophecy. So
he will fight now with not only defense
but aggression in view. These things
are fully appreciated by European
statesmen, and there are reasons for
belief that they consider them very Sc
rious factors in the present problem.
Indeed, there may be more in the words
of Salisbury than at first appeared.
1.-THE advance into the Soudan is an
absolute necessity, though all the rea-
sons for the order cannot now be stat
ed
Italian failure in Abyssinia, there
fore, has infinite meaning in it for the
European Powers. It tends to break
down the prestige of 'the alliance, !"
and to inspire Nile tribes to activities
that are not pleasant to contemplate,
while it may give opportunities to Rus
STA that the other Powers dread. So
we find all the European States save
one standing by Italy, a little timidly
just now, it is true, but their interest
is largely involved in the outcome of
the Italian venture, and still more so
in the advances up the Nile.
