The blow was given in sport The attending
physician said he thought the man died Of
peritonitis. but he had n suspicion that death
was the result of the blow. The one who
gave the blow was friend Of the family and
the family were satisfied that the blow was
not the cause OF death.
A lively discussion followed, and it was de-
cided that the examiner should hold an
autopsy, and If he found death probably
resulted from the blow, should turn the
case over TO the coroner who should have the
case brought before the grand jury. The

of the cash on hand in the treasury was
commenced at the time Treasurer Nor

dollars in the vault were being counted
by weight as is usually done. This
work had not gGne far, however, When
il was found that two bags did not

bags was counted, and II was discovered
that an aggregate of SO had been taken
out and pieces of lead had been put in
TO make the weight.
Suspicion pointed to Thomas Martin, a
c1lored man, who had been employed in
the treasury as "a laborer for many years,

work. he count has been in progress

A sensational report was circulated
yesterday That larRe shortage had been

gypsy woman, with decrepit gait and
bizarre costume, plodded up tho wide
stone driveway to the door of the Cleve-

applied for admission, and tried to sell

Mr. Cleveland's servants bought none

NOT RESTRICTIVE OF FREE SPEECH

The Cleveland Leader thinks the
New York legislative attempt to estab-
fish censorship of the press so far
as the printing of alleged portraits Of
people without their consent is con-
cerned, is bad, indeed infamous. But
it adds that if the proposition becomes
law. the press will have no one to blame
for it but two infamous representatives
of new journalism in the metropolis of
New York
We think that this is a giving away Of
the Leaders" case. If the two journals
referred to have so outraged the rights
of others that it is necessary to inter-
pose the arm of the law to protect the
people who suffer by their practices, is
not the government of New York doing
its simple duty, since one of the primal
purposes of government is to protect the
weak against the strong, and to afford
all men enjoyment of that guarantee of
their rights?
But is the proposition one for a censor
ship? The proposed law does not set
up an official to pass upon what the
press may not say. On the contrary it
simply declares that the property and
moral right of the citizen in the present
ment Of his features is sacred. The pro-
posed law does not determine the ex-
preston of a newspaper 1t does not pro-
pose TO invade the right to speak, write
and print freely the thoughts of any
journalist. II does. however say that
carieature and Dortraiture are not ex-
preston under the guarantee quoted.
The Leader" says in commenting
upon this subject:
Since these two sheets began their
contest for supremacy in the art of de-
bauching public morals and catering
to the most depraved tastes of the read
ing public they have gradually descend
ed almost to the utter depths of de-
pravity. Nothing has been too vile for

NEWSPAPER Condolences.

The claim that newspaper condolences
should be treated as privileged, is an
swered by the statement that such con-
fidences are not in the schedule of priv
ileges enumerated in the law. When it
is proposed to make a law to include
them, the question will be properly up
for discussion of the wisdom of such an
act The people in their Legislative
capacity have not seen fit, to this date,
to include newspapers in the category
with attorneys, physicians and priests.
There has not been any specific general
demand on the part of newspapers that
referred to. We concede that a COM
munication made and received in conf
dence by a newspaper proprietor or
employe should be in honor lived up to.
The newspaper men who receive such
communications are bound in honor to
prove true to them, and as rule they
do. But the newspaper man has no
more right than has a private indiyid-
ual, unprotected by privilege. to receive
confidential communication and then
SO use it that refusal to disclose the
source of his information impedes the
course of justice, or does injury to the
rights of others equally amenable to
and protected by the law. If the jour-
nalist receives a confidential communi-
cation he should be careful to SO use
it as not to render him liable to be
called upon under the law to violate it.
Every newspaper man knows precisely
how far he can use such communica-
tons and not invade the laws of his
country. 1t is conceded that much
good is accomplished through the re-
ceipt of confidential information by
newspaper men, as also much evil But
the confidential communication should
serve only as a means to the journalist
of securing other information that will
lead to good ends and support a charge
and which may be stated without vio-
lation Of confidence.
The record-union., 1897-03-21

publication in their columns. The sane
tity of the home has been ruthlessiy
invaded by these scandal mongers with
out cause or justification. Public men
have been reviled most outrageously
and caricatured without shame or
mercy, and respectable women have
been dragged before the public eye in
various states of nudity. No wonder
that the moral sensiblities of the decent
people of New York have been shocked.
No wonder that bill has been intro
duced in the New York Legislature pro-
hibiting the publication of anyone's por-
trait without the consent of the person.
No wonder that it has been proposed to
take away the freedom Of the press by
establishing censorship. Ordinarily
every decent newspaper would protest
against such an interference with the
liberty of the press but almost anything
in the nature of regulation and restric-
ton of the license of the new journals
would appear to be justified. The new
journals of New York have done more
to degrade the profession of Journalism
than all the other sensational news
papers in the United States put to-
gether
Censorship of the press would be as
intolerable and infamous in our eyes
as in those of the Leader" When it
comes, if unhappily it does, the liber-
ties of the American people will depart.
We have no fear however, that such
misfortune will befall us. But this rea-
sOnable effort to restrict the license"
Of the press, to keep it within the
bounds Of the guarantees of free speech,
is not, as we view it, censorship, any
more than are the laws on the statute
books of every State in the Union pro-
nibiting and making criminal the publ
cation of prohibited matter, indecent
and corrupting pictures, degrading and
offensive illustrations. and filthy and
libidinous text. Yet no newspaper COM
plains that such laws are unjust or re-
strictive of the liberty of the press.
