Two ssJourBal" Inramie..


The manner in which men, who are hon.
est in private life, become unmitigated
rascals in the practice of yellow journal
ism is one of the most curious phenomena
of that shocking pursuit. Take the case
Of the Evening Journal" of this city. 1t
Is not only possible but probable that the
men who write for it and who control its
course are capable of the ordinary inn
pulses of honesty and humanity as in
dividuals, and vet the paper which they
publish daily outrages every principle OF
truth, honor and fair dealing.
In "The News" yesterday was printed a
long letter from DR.. I. N. Quimby of this
city. in which the Journal was convict
ed of one of the most Infamous crimes
known to journalism. that of wilfully
garbling public documents before publish
ing them. We have 10 sympathy with DR..
Quimby or those who think with him on
the water question. We regard him as to-
tally. crafty wrong upon it. We consider
EIile luCd ludl lIC n lioo q
chise in its fright to use Passaic water
at Belleville. only fit to be entertained in
Bedlam. But We are very certain that the
error of his ideas affords no excuse for
the mutilation of his utterances in publi-
cation in a newspaper, and none whatever
for the "doctoring'' of the resolutions
adopted by a club of responsible citizens
in the interest of a water monopoly.
1t was open to the Journal to ignore
the resolutions of Good Government Club
No l altogether. 1t would have been
deserved severity. But to print them in a
mutilated, garbled. doctored form, and to
give nc hin that they had been thus mall
treated-this. we say, was a blackguard-
ism to which only yellow journalism
would stoop.
One thing was needed to complete the
infamy. This was a refusal to print DR..
Quimby's protest. The refusal was made,
and it remained for 1.-THE News" to lay
bare the entire subject to the public ex-
ecration.
A second infamy of yellow journalism,
as practiced in this city under the Phelps
Dear regime, was exposed in the pro-
ceedings before Judge Lippincott yester-
day, in connection with the Noonan-Simp-
son prosecution. We have several times
directed attention to the gross injustice
of permitting a newspaper to follow up
two unfortunate men accused of crime,
day after day with threats and abuse. We
have wondered at the forbearance of their
counsel, and we have been surprised at
the restraint which the Court put upon
itself in tolerating such an outrage upon
of citizens. We have no hesitation in say
ing that at this very moment it is impos-
sible for these two men 10 get a fair
trial in this county. for every juryman
must feel tina the club of the Evening
Journals vengeance is suspended over
his good name and fame, ready to be
brought down with INSCRIPTIONS rage in
case he dares to vote for an acquittal.
This thing should be stopped. 1t is
subversive of all law and justice. If it is
proper in this case, why not in any other;
If it is tolerable, why have any courts?
Why not turn over the administration of
the law to the yellow papers?
