The San Francisco call., 1898-07-26
THE SILVER VIEW.

r HE Herald at Salt Lake seems desrous to make public its confirmed and crystalzed opin- ion that MT. Hearst and Colonelette William J. Bryan fighting this war; that the President and the military and naval strategsts of the Government are mere spectators, whose duty is done when they cheer as Colonel Bryan bests army or takes city, and Mr. Hearst superior to the rules of English grammar and composition, in communicating the vlc- tory to his newspapers
 It is with shade of regret that we notice that the joy of the Herald over the feats of Colonel Bryan and Mr. Hearst IS not purely patriotic emotion Its origin does not seem to be m love of country but in hatred of The Cali. The Herald is that The Call was displeased when Colonel Bryan went down into the tropics and took Santiago destroyed Ger vera's fleet, threw Pando into panic and made all those waters too hot for the paint any ships but own and therefore the Herald rejoices and re- marks that millions of who voted tor Colonel Bryan for President rejoice also
 It further records the pleasure that abroad in its office from the rubber doormat in front to the out pipe of the sink where the forms bathed in a sou ton of concentrated lye, because Mr. Hearst has tabished an edition of his N. Y. Journal in Santiago, and has letter from President Mckinley faerng his enterprise We regret, again, the motive that mpels this pleasure for it is advertised to be n the belief that The Call is frantic with jealousy be-
 
 by MT. Hearst for advertising his papers.
 The Herald is entirely wrong Jealousy of Mr Hearst's methods is not found among legitimate newspapers like The Call. Their success depends upon using the old-fashioned ways of common honesty and common decency. They entirely un- affected by the presence of MT. Hearst The seller of good butchers is not hurt in his trade by the which fill the carrion they find in the roads and fields. His customers will not eat the carrion and the crows will not eat good meat. It is so in journalism The Call has no market among those who what is spumy and rank That is Mr. Hcarsts field and he fills it with the ardor of natural fitness. It is legitimate to praise him for it, too There is no reason why the President should not commend Mr. Hearst for his zeal in his chosen work If choose to purvey carrion, why 1t Is all right to approve him for sticking to it. Of course he makes sacrifices and gets kicks but the latter part of his assets They advertise his business At Santiago for instance the military commander found it necessary tear down Hearst's posters and drum him and all of his correspondents and employees out of the lines and to forbid their return and prohibit their presence in any camp of the army any ship of the navy within that military jurisdiction This action which has been necessary in the of the correspond ents of The Call and the other decent press of the country is exactly in line with the Presidents letter to Mr. Hearst. It certihes that he is purveyor of carrion, and that the article he furnishes is good carrion because it is offensive that the American army and navy cannot stand it. In the same sense The Call highly approves of Mir Hearst and his en- terprse We stand in line with the Pope with Presi- dent Mckinley, with Theodore Roosevelt, with MT. Cleveland all of whom have given MT. Hearst a cer- tifcate peerless purveyor of carrion.
 Now the difference between all of us and the Herald is, that insists that Mir Hearst furnishes fresh meat
