TIE OWNERS RESPONSIBLE,


Tho Advertiser does not think it
is necessary to print the names OF
the directors OF the company which
owns the filthy yellow journal.
Their names are we'll enough known
now and their neighbors are asking
why, as men OF family aud as citi-
zens of repute, they should permit
their paper to publish matter 80 dis
gusting that self respecting scav-
enger would scorn to take it out Of
an ash barrel.
The extinct Volcano was in a
high class beside this muck-search-
ing paper--this Pride Of the Sewer,
the stencil Of which is forced into
the nostrils OF the town. No scandal
is too long buried to save it from
the ghoulish disinterment which the
managers of the paper conceive to
be "live, hustling journalism;" no
discovery is too prurient and de-
moralizing to protect an innocent
public from its details; no insinua-
tion is too coarse to be spread on
the breakfast table of the unfortun-
ate reader. We doubt il the slums
Of New York support worse paper
and many better one has felt the
heavy hand of the law which pro-
tects a community from indecent

The remedy fer the evil done by
the yellow journal is in the hands
Of the respectable directors and
owners. II the stream of filth flows
on it is because they let it flow; they
are the ones who pay the papers de-
ficits and over-drafts; without their
contributions the sewer organ would
have to stop; they cannot escape
the stigma which every decent man
and woman visits upon their pro-
perty. The pressing question with
the moral community is what do
they intend to do7 And it is one
that their private regulations, their
business future and as we believe,
their manly instincts, will prompt
them to answer in the right way.
We and others natu rally ask the
question, who is to blame! Is it the
directorate of the Republican or the
community that supports the journ-
