FAkiNG AND POLITICS.

IN the very interesting interview which
we printed yesterday with Miss Turner,
the Young woman whose father was killed
in Isle of Wight county last winter, she
said that she had given no photograph to
any newspaper man and was unwilling
that her picture should be printed. Yet
several days ago the New York Journal
printed what was alleged to be a picture
of Miss Turner. and printed also picture
alleged to he that of her father who was
murdered. We have reason to know that
both pictures were manufactured IN the
Journal establishment and were the smasi-
nary creations of one of its artists a SEN
sational account of the murder was printed
in connection with the pictures and this
manufactured IN the office Of the Journal
Facts were thrown to the winds, and the
romancer unbridled his imagination and
let It capcr. 1t mattered not to him, or to
the newspaper which he represented, that
he was writing fiction and not fact, 50
long as good copy could be turned out.
This is q sample of yellow Journalism
of which the New York Journal is the
chief exponent. The reporters of all such
papers get a grain of truth to supply them
with a readable story, regardless OF the
facts i'm the case. Few readers Of the
paper are in position to know that
these sensational stories are either made
out of the whole cloth or are greatly eXag-
serated The great majority Of such read
ers accept these romances for facts and
go off and sound the praises of the paper
that has given them such delightful read
ing
We are not writing an essay on journal
ism We have related this incident in
connection with the Isle of Wight trial
and have made these observations upon
yellow journalism, in general, by way
of calling attention TO the fact that in 1895
the New York Journal was the national
organ of the Democratic party. It fur
nialed the campaign matter and was the
inspiration to every other party organ
in the country. To-day it essays TO be the
leading party organ, and the editor Of the
Journal has been prominently mentioned
as candidate on the Democratic ticket for
the Vice-Presidency. The New York
Journal and Coin Harvey's book had more
to do than any other, We might say than
all other, publications combined, with ex
plotting the free silver issue Of 1885, and
never since the world began We're there
two greater fakes than that newspaper
and that book. We do not undertake to
tee nor TO give it advice, but we do say
that true Democracy can never DE helped
by taking and fakirs.

business ito interfere with a corporation.
or ii yo,r, please a trust. so long as the
corporation, does not violate the law. The
government should see 20 1t tl'zs these cor
poratsons are not helped by class legisla-
ton enacted in their interest and see to
Sit that corporations do not trespass upon
the rights of others. but the government
has no more right TO suppress such cor
poration than it has to suppress labor
organization.
Our correspondent wants to- know why
the members of Congress exempted labor
organizations from the proposed anti-trust
law. We ai1swec, for the same reason that
the Legislature of Texas exempted the
farmers from the provisions of the anti
trust Law OF that State. The politicians
did not dare interfere with the labor or
.anizations, or with the farmers of the
land But Congress and the State legis-
latures have as much right to interfere in
the one case as fin the other. They have
no right under the Constitution OF the
United States, and according to the
genius of our Institutions, to neddle
with men who combine so long as those
men do not, as we have said, violate the
law or infringe upon the rights OF others.
One rule should apply to all. Let there
be labor organizations and farmers or
CARNATIONS and business mems orsal!za-
tons and let them go their way without let
or ,,indrance, so long as they behave them
selves aad let them be restrained by law
when they violate the law, or when they
show that they are ABOUT to commit acts
of 9YioIence.

THE LAW AND ORGANIZATIONS.

We print elsewhere to-day a commune
cation from Mr. Job Hawxhurst, of Fair
fax county. on labor organizations which
deserves attention.
IHe do not by any means agree that the
iabor organizations are bad things. They
have been abused in some instances. but
the tendency of taeir has been TO improve
the condition OF Inc laberins man. TO
make labor honorable. TO make laborins
men more highly respected. and TO en-
force the rights of those who tou. II is
"A great mistake. 10 be sure, when labor
sng men so outside of the law to enforce
their claims ii is a mistake for strikers

rnen from working. Whenever labor or
CARNATIONS haze resortea TO violence they

to attempt 10 suppress such organizations

THE period from 1850 TO 1861 says the
New York World, was called the Golden
yellow metal poured out in that decade
by the then newly-discovered gold fields
of California and Australia. But the pres
ent rate of increase in the worlds stock
of gold far exceeds anything recorded in
those ten years. wonderful as their record
was
In 1896 the worlds total product of gold
Was $50. 225l 600. 1t is now nearly twice as
and 1885, inclusive, the total product of
The world was S6s4. 0SS00a. From 1886 to
1899. inclusive, it was $1,000, 49l. 900 That
means that since the great free silver
campaign of 1895 the mines of the world
have yielded s3s5.4 900 more of the yellow
metal than they did in four years pre-
ceding.
The Director Of the Mint says that
when operations are fully resumed in
South Africa, the worlds output of gold
will quickly pass S4ee,00oea0 per annu1n.
There was fear at one time that the
South African mines might be destroyed
or seriously injured before the war should
come TO an end. but that danger is now
entirely passed, and il is reasonable to
suppose that the mines at Johannesburg
will soon be yielding their substance. 1t

free silver in 1886 that there was not
enough gold in the world to give an aGe-
auase money supply, and that il was,
