A Word of Warning.

Mr. John Gordon, the South Side rep
resentative of The Tribune, was saw
agcly and unexpectedly assaulted by
a lusty rufiian named KEEPER on Fri
day evening. An item of news, the
impending marriage of this man to a
young woman, became public property
through the medium of one of Helpers $
friends Mr.. Gordon did not take up
the report of the event upon irrespons-
ible hearsay. He was requested to
publish II, and was of course merely
fulfilling his duty in doing so. Such
reports are a matter of daily and con-
ventional record in every newspaper
in this city and in every other
city. The business of newspaper
is to publish news, and the business of
a reporter is to collect it. Some few
persons have a different notion They
seem TO imagine that public events In
which they figure affect them alone,
and that public proceedings in courts
of justice and other places should be
held in secrecy as long as they are
discreditable or disagreeable TO them
selves.
This is a theory which cannot be
tolerated as long as free press exists
There is nothing wrong in getting mar
ried. It is a public ceremony, made
50 by law with particular anxiety. AS
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-06-27

a religious function, II must receive
formal public sanction as everybody
knows Marrying and being given i'm
marriage are events in which the world
takes natural and proper interest
What interests the public necessarily
interests the newspaper compiler as
matter of business. There is no coun-
try in the world i'm which newspapers
exhibit such a tender regard for the
domestic susceptibilities Of the people
as we do here. The public lives of
public men may he attacked and are
attacked nationally or irratonally on
grounds of public cxpcdienCy. 1t is
legitimate, it is necessary, although it
may sometimes be excessive i'm its vir-
ulence or unjustiliable in its intemper-
ance Of language. But it stops there.
The private lives of our citizens are
not made public, even at times when
there is sufficient justification for do
ing so. The newspaper records of our
divorce court proceedings. for instance,
are immaculate compared with verba
tim reports and unsavory details
dshed up in English newspapers,
which affect a puritanical vlrtuous-
ness in their editorial columns. There
are a few papers in New York, and
perhaps nearer home, which indulge in
lewd sensationalsm; but they do not
much exceed a score among the thous-
ands Of newspapers that are published
every day throughout the length and
breadth of the country. The Ameri-
can press as a whole is exceptionally
clean.
Mr. Gordon's assailant threatened
him with murder if he reported the
COwardly attack of which he was the
victim. Mr.. Gordon and The Tribune
have ignored the threat. They are
not to be deferred by threats. The
resources of civilization are not yet
exhausted in Scranton. There exist in
this state two excellent institutions.
the county Jail and the penitentiary
y sOjourn in either is not very au-
spicious termination to honeymoon
In all kindliness and sincerity we ad-
wise Keepers friends to counsel that
young and cXCitable man, IL they have
any regard for his future happiness
to let Mr.. Gordon or any other repre-
sentative of The Tribune in the execu-
tion Of his duty alone.

Force the Traitors Hands.

Five years ago a treaty of anneXa-
tion between Hawaii and the United
States. negotiated by the Harrison ad-
ministration with infinite care. and,
after public debate, approved by the
overwhelming sentiment of the Coun-
try. was withdrawn summarily from
the senate, where it was yet pending,
by a Democratic president who after
ward sent "A paramount commissioner
to Honolulu, with instructions to haul
down the American flag and work up
a case aspersing the memory of the
American officials under whose aus
pices Old Glory had been hoisted there.
The recoil Of public opinion from this
policy of infamy knocked Grover
Clevelands administration into the
lowest depths Of innocuous desuetude.
Today, with the sentiment for annex
alton more overwhelming than ever,
and with the country engaged in a war
the progress of which has clearly re-
vealed Hawaii's Indispensable value to
us as an OUTPOST of defence and a
stepping stone to future influence in
the Pacific, not Grover Cleveland but
knot of flibustering senators try to
block the way, saying by deed that
they hold their individual opinion to
be worth more than the wish and will

Among our own people | am very sorry
to say there are "A few persons who slur

are cndcavoring 10 make our govern
ront faithless to its pledges to give m
dependence and a stable government to

step into the shoes Of Spain and attempt
to govern that island as Spain has done.
These advocates Of national dishonor are
blind to the fact that Spanish methods
lead to SpGTiSh regUlts; rebellion, reVO-
luton, and chronic guerilla warfare.
They appeal to our national vanity by
telling us ii would he easy for us 10 co.
cree both CubGns and Spaniards! Impos-
sible. Such a task in such a country
would require a standing army of 100000

more hated In Cuba than Spanards are
now. Every CEapparal would be dyed

merits frankly, generously. Let us ac-

London. Feb. S.-1he Fourth session OF
the l4th parliament of Queen Victoria,
and the Goth of the United Kingdom was
opened by commission. at O'Clock thls
afternoon. with the customary cerenio-
nies.
The Queens speech announced:
"My relations with the other powers
continue friendly. The negotiations De-
tween the sultan OF Turkey and the King
of Greece have been brought to oonclu-
sion by signature of treaty OF peace, un-
DER which the territorial relations between
the two powers are practically unchanged.
1.-The question of autonimous govern
ment of the island OF Crete has occupied
the attention of the powers. lhe ulu-
Guilty Of arriving at unanimous agree
ment on some points has unduly pro-
tracted the deli berations, but 1 hope
these obstacles will before long DC sur
mounted.
or the outbrsas in India the following
statement is made:
..Op the northwestern borders Of my
Indian empire an organized outbreak OF
fanaticisin, which spread In the summer
along the frontier, induced many OF the
tribes TO break their engagements with
my government, 10 attack the military
posts in their vicinity, and even To In
wade the settled district of my territory.
i was compelled TO eend expeditions
against the offending tribes, for tho pun
ishment Of the outrages and to insure
peace in the future.
"a portion Of the Aifridi tribes have
not yet accepted the terms offered them.
but, elsew here the OPERATORS have been
brought TO q very successful close. The
courage and endurance exhibited by my
troops British and native, have overcome
almost insuperable difficulties in The
country in which they were operating,
hut have to aeplore the loss of many
valuable lives, both amongst my own
troops and those whose services were vol
unfairly and Loyalty placed AZ my disposal
by the native princes Of my Indian En-
plfe."
The rest of the speech deals with the
recrudescence of tho League, and says:
although the mortality is less alarm
ing than in 1897. it Is still such as to
cause anxiety. and no effort will be
spAred to mitigate It, "
Her majesty then rejoices at the fact
that the famine is ended, except In n
small tract of Madras. and says there Is
reason TO anticipate prosperous year,
both for agriculture and commerce.,
throughout India
