Charles H. Winfield died today al the
age of sixty-eight. His principal malady
was a broken heart.
Sixty-eight is not IN old age for a man
of abstemious habits and regular life,
and six months ago. although he was
not in robust health, his expectancy
might have been calculated at ten or
twelve years. There was no reason
whatever why he should not reach a ripe
old age.
In the fall of last year, the exigencies
of the Evening Journals" circulation
REQUIRED an outbreak of yellow sensa-
tlonalism. The pennies were rolling more
and more slowly, day by day, into the
Golfers of Mr.. Phelps of Hackensack.
The situation was growing desperate.
Something must be done. The Journal
must be lifted off the own grade at any
cost, and the easiest way TO do this APP
peared to be to pander to the basest IN
stincts of the mob, the love of seeing
the proud pulled down from their pedes-
tails and the yirtuous rolled in the mire
of suspicion.
Charles Hardenburg Winfield was
chosen to be the victim. How yheiy,
how w~antonly, how recklessly menda-
cious the attack upon him was, this
paper showed on Wednesday of last
week. The vindication of the man, al
ready practically dead, was not a matter
of surmise or inference or generalization
we opposed hard fact-oficially recorded
fact-to the brutal wicked lies Of the yell
low newspaper.
But. however false and reckless the
s.JournaTs'' charges were, they did their
work. The blow was crushing. From the
hour it was struck. Charles H. Winfield
was never himself again. He sickened
unto death, and the end was FASTENED by
the unmerciful cruelty with which blow
upon blow was inflicted upon him in his
crushed and ~defenceless position.
Now that he is gone. perhaps. the peo-
pie will be aroused to a realization of
what has taken place. SO long as breath
remained in him, there We're those VINO
were willing to believe and utter evil.
But in the presence of death, a GOODNESS
and a clearness of vision are apt to come
over peoples minds. and we think there
will now at last be a general awakening
to the horror of what has been done
The journal, has been sowing a great
field with the tears of women and with
drops of agony from the hearts OF men.
The crop is nearly ripe for garnering.
