NEWSPAPER REPORTERS,
Their Fair-MindednesSJt6 erupuIous
Care, Reliability ana Integrity.
From the Philadelphia Times.


A very common error is prevalent that
the work Of reporters, giveRin Newspapers,
as rule is not entitled to respect or Gre
dence 1t is generally assumed that the
reporter writes chiefly or wholly to make
a sensation or in some way interest read
ers without regard to facts. While just the
reverse is the truth in all reputable news
paper establishments.
1t is safe TO assume that the statements
Of reporters given in the leading reputable
journals of the country are quite as truth
full az are the general statements from the
pulpit when the minister gets outside of
strictly religious teachings, and very much
more truthful than are the public ex-
pressions of most if not all of the leading
professions With very few exceptions the
maaagements of our leading daily newspa-
pers enforce trutkfulness and fairness as
the supreme attributes for newspaper
writer, and yet it is common for all who
are dispieased with any reportorial state
ment to say that Its a mere newspaper
story
1t is true that there are a few conspic-
uous exceptions to the rule that governs
the reputable newspapers of the country
Not only are the managers of our lead
ing newspapers entitled to great credit
Tor the scrupulous care they enforce on
their reporters and correspondents to pre-
sent the truth with as exact fairness as is
possible, but the public little know the
ceaseless care that is exercised in every
reputable newspaper office to prevent the
publication of even the truth when it would
be more harmful to publish than to sup
press 1t There is ut a week. indeed hard
iy day, that the newspapers of this city
do not suppress the facts proper for public
information which would make a most in
teresting story solely because it would
bring a flood of sorrow to the innocent
and helpless and cast an imperisha BILE
shadow upon their lives. With all the
errors necessarily committed in a news
paper office by reason of the haste with
which the articles must often be prepared,
the public little know with what thorough
integrity the newspapers, as rule pro-
tect the innocent even at the cost of sup
pressing legitimate and interesting infor-
nation. The skeletons of hundreds Of
households are carefully guarded in the
newspaper offices of the country, and gen.
orally without even the knowledge Of the

DU bose GROWS ABUSIVE.
Late Secretary to Spanish Legation
Lectures in Toronto,

A dispatch from Toronto yesterday says:
Senior Du Bose, late first secretary of the
Spanish legation at Washington, lectured
to 1000 people here tonight on the causes
of the present war. Senior Polo and many
prominent men were present The lecture
was in aid of the Red Cross Society work
and was delivered in private capacity.
Senior Du Bose made a severe attack on
the American people. He traced the his
tory of the trouble, reiterating the Spanish
arguments and spoke of American senators
as border ruffians, whose illiterate boor-
iShness is only equaled by their venality
and ludcrously pompous conceit."
He urged that American cupdity for
conquest constituted a grave danger to Eu-
rope, Canada and Mexico, and concluded by
comparing the Queen Regent of Spain with
The bloated politicians whose counte-
nances depict the lust that is in their
hearts"
