WHAT TO PRINT.

1t is related of a noted divine-Nr.
Beecher. we think--that on one occa-
sion when his board of church Off
cials waited on him to protest against
the Jokes he told in the pulpit and
his funny sayings, he replied, 20, my
brethren. if YOU knew how many
funny things come to me which
| do not say, you would not criticize
me for those that / do repeat in the
pulpit"
If the good men who insist that
newspapers ought to print no news
except that which is moral in itself or
in its teachings-if these brethren
could see how many stories of crime
and scandal are suppressed and how
much patient labor is expended in
cutting out Objectionable and even
questionable paragraphs and extracts
If they could see this, it is doubtful
if they would be so severe in their
criticism.
IICiN Si1 ihNiI'iNiit
in any State to fill "a large newspaper,
and not Il week passes when stories
about them are not sent to the daily
paper. The editor, who seeks to keep
shis columns clean, must needs reject
all such stories that do not come into
such publicity as to make their pub
LEGATION necessary. If they eliminate
in public fights or get into the courts,
the only course is to print the facts.
This course is the only one which Il
newspaper can pursue if il is a NEWS
paper, and in publishing the unvar-
nished truth it is doing The cause of
the innocent parties an act of JUS
tice.
There are occasions when the high
est morality demands the publication
an example: Some years ago charges
of immortality, cruelty, etc, were pre-
ferred against the superintendent of
the Raleigh Insane Asylum He stood
high and had many powerful and in
fuential friends who would not be
made to believe he was guilty of the
crimes for which he was pat on trial.
The hearing was long drawn out,
Some of the newspapers were criti-
cised for publishing the evidence in
full-it was called ''installments of
nastiness." 1t was a tale of most
abandoned wickedness, but if it had
not been published so that all the peo-
pie could hear and try the case. the
doctor who had disgraced the State
would not have been driven from the
position he held. The publication of
the State institution more than justi-
fed the publication of the evidence
just as it was given in by the wit
nesses. In our Judgment the true
advocate of decency and morality was
the editor, who by acquainting the
people with the debauchery that eX-
listed, was able TO arouse the moral
conscience of the State to demand the
removal of the offending official.
There have been other like cases, and
will be again when public morals will
demand the exposure of moral lepers.

SOCIALISTS ARE RESPONSIBLE.

The Republican leaders are inclined
to think there is some political sig
nificance in the fourteen big strikes
now in progress in this country. of
which that in Chicago is the most
formidable. They believe the trouble
is inspired by the Democrats and
Populists for effect on the next cleo
tion.zWm. +. Curtis, in the Chicago
Record.
This is fair sample of the idiocy
and mendacity of The Republican
leaders" They hold the Democratic
party responsible for every cyclone,
murder, boycott, strike, and all the
devilment in the country, and think
the people can be deceived by such
transparent lies.
The Democrats have ever been the
conserving force in American politics
and life, standing vigorously against
the two classes of socialists that
threaten Our institutions. /. The So
cialists of the CoXey stripe who be
lieve the government shrnld own all
Industrial enterprises and that there
should be a division of all the money
ON hand between everybody; ,. The
socialists who run the trusts and lie
ally mt mop re (, r the few wssat be-
longs 10 all. These are the enemies
of good order and good government,
ard these are tie men who are at
the bottom of the strikes.
Execute the antitrust laws and re-
duce the high tariff and there will be
fewer strikes. Ty its laws of favorit-
ism, the Republican party is respon-
sble for the socialistic tendencies of
Debs and Rockefeller.

A Chinese Trick.

London, Nov. 2l.-Dr. Morrison, wiring
to the Times from Pekin, says; "In com
municating the punishment edict, dated
Sian-fu November l3, u the foreign en-
voys, Lii Hung Chang submits it as the
final punishment the court is able to in
tiict, and repeats the stereotyped plea Of
all Chinese plenipotentiaries, namely:
That the emperor threatens himself and
Prince Ching with punishment if they fail
to induce the representatives OF the pow
ers to accomplish compromise. The
mildness of the sentences excites ridicule
and strengthens the ministers in their de-
termination to demand the death penalty.
The punishments are illusory.
"Prince Tuan is merely banished to his
own home and others undergo a merely
nominal lowering of rank. Perpetual i'm
prisonment means a life Of honored re-
tirement.
Large numbers of southern Chinese
now residing in Pekin, fearing further
retribution during the winter, are prepar-
ing to leave for the SOUTH"
According to the Shanghai correspond
ent of the Times, it is asserted on good
authority in Tientsin that there are still
some missionaries surviving at Taiyuen-
fu under the protection of the mandarins.

Live stock Association.

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. ls.-The local
arrangement committee to make prepara-
tions for the eighth annual convention OF
the National Live Stock association,
which is to be held here January Is to
10, have met and appointed the vari-
Gus subcommittee, and also decided to

Nevada, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, Mon
tana and Texas.
Announcement was made that all rail
roads have made a rate OF one fare for

vention, running excursion trains for the

London, Nov. lS.-The British ,pe
Gals giving descriptions Of the Morgan.
'a''eriee wedding are slmos. entirely de-
Vo'ed to its pecuniary features, giving the
impression that it was a repetition Of the
Bradley Martin ball. As a natural result
the London papers indulge in such com
meht as this from the Westminster Ga
zette:
The reputation of Americans of a Ger.
tam type for vulgar os.entation seems TO
have been exceedingly well sustained at
the wedding" And in a similar strain
another curious piece Of information
upon American matters is contained in
the London Daily Telegraph's description
OF society among women Of London, in
which 1t is grayely asserted that "when
an American has made fortune he finds
it almost impossible to live quietly in his
own country. The chief attraction is
England, where Americans can escape the
new spapers."
This is the chief reason, according to
the Daily Telegraph, why the American
colony in London increases, though it ad
mts that many love to come here for
the sake of the country alone, and "be-
cause it makes them feel like being
Oh visit to their grandmother's home,
where everything is digniiied, proper and
nice"
The duke and duchess OF York's forth
coming visit to Australia is quite likely to

Additional excursions will be made in the

here, to one OF the English princesses, to
which the queen is said to have given her
approval.
