denunciation of these foul and offensive
journals has been beneficial, inasmuch as
1t has informed public opinion on the sub
lect and reused the people to the evil and
the danger of tolerating disreputable
journalism in American life.
The evils of decadent journalism are
many In the first place such papers are
a menace to society by reason OF their
vicious attacks upon the characters OF
good men and women in private life. The
Examiner recently gave an example OF this
vice in its attack upon Mrs. Cornelius
vanderbilt, and little while before by It's
attack upon one of the leading families OF
San Francisco. A second evil is the wrong
done to community by the wholesale
ISLANDERS against men of public character
and the social organism at large. The
Examiner has furnished an illustration OF
this of1ense in its recent charges against
the California Legislature and its efforts
to mtsrepresent our State Government as
being corrupt in every department.
third evil is the perversion OF public
morals by making crime sensational and
attractive to ill-balancsd minds. The.
Examiner has furnished many evidences
of this evil and in its announcements for
the forthcoming Sunday edition promises
another IN the shape OF an elaborate and
sensational write.up of child criminal.
1t will be seen that the time has come
when society must take steps to prouect
itself against these offensive, corrupting,
crime-loving and crime-produclng news
papers. Men and women in high station
who, by reason of their attainments, we alth
or social positions, are shining marks Tor
SANDER, must act together for self-protec-
ton aqainst the defamation of these
vicious journals. Institutions open to the
public, such as the great Libraries OF the
country, must rid their reading rooms Of
journals which tend to deprave the people,
lest they become the center of corruption
rather than of enlightenment. Officers of
the law must take action, lest these vicious
journals engender crime among those
whose minds are susceptible to the lnhu-
ences of their sensational reports of the
dolngs of criminals.
The movement begun on this coast by
the library at Portland. and in the
East by the library at Newark, will
soon be followed by other institu-
tions OF the kind in every part of
the Union. The crusade in the cause of
decency has begun to have its effect. We
may expect before long to see the Journal,
the Examiner, and all others of their foul
kind excluded from the United States
mails. The indignation of the people is
fairly aroused, and the end of the foul.

CAST THEM OUT.

Evidences have now been given that the
crusade against vicious journalism Is pro-
ducing good results. The library at Port
land, Or, and that of Newark, N. J., have
excluded the most vicious examples of
decadent journalism from their read ing
rooms. The movement. it will be seen,
extends from the Pacific to the Atlantic
coast, and we have there ore proof that
the aroused indignation OF the people is
not confined to any particular locality,
but is acting with equal force all over the
country.
1t is gratifying to learn that the action
taken by these libraries, one in excluding
the New York Journal and TIE other
in excluding the San Francisco En-
amaimer from their reading-rooms, is cor
daily approved by the public as well as by
legitimate newspapers. 1t is clear the

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.

When Melba left the Metropolitan Opera
house Company, out of voice and sick at heart
with her non-success as Brunhilde, the man
agement put forward an American singer,
Nine. Clementine de We're Sapio, to take her
place. Nine. Sapio is a very fine artist, who
has been known for years to the concert world
of New York, but who has only recently come
to the front in opera. Her voice is very beau
tiful in quality and she uses 1t with perfect
art, but she has tarried too long on the con-
cert stage to be able to step into Meiba's shoes
as prima donna. On the operatic stage she
fails to carry conviction, as she goes through
dramatic role as calmly and passively as if
she were rendering a ballad on the concert
platform. Her beautiful singing, however,
almost atones for her lack of temperament
and there is every prospect that Mime. Glenn
entine de We're Sapio will remain one of the
operatic stars for some seasons to come.
Meanwhile, Melba has been coniding to the
