A RECKLESS PRESS.

Here is letter to w. r. Hearst.
We do not print it with the idea of
starting a discussion with Hearst s
papers as text. His journals at this
time are not pleasant things to re-
member. The author of the letter is
a professor of logic and philosophy.
His words burn. Here is the letter:
ITO the editor of the New York
Journalism: While the world stands
aghaSt at the horror recently enacted
at Buffalo, it looks beyond the mis-
creant who fired the shot at our noble
President. 1t sees in you and those
like you, the leaders of reckless
press, the forces which make such an
act possible. Behind the much-abuSed
license of printing you have for years
been uttering, both by word and by
picture, that which you know to be
lies of the most damnable blackneSs
from the vantage ground of your Cow
ards FORT" This constant hell
broth of vituperation and lies, spewed
all over the land, has done its legiti-
mate work. 1t has melted weak men
like this ignorant and fanatical Polish
anarchist to do deed in which you,
the real assassin, gloat i'm your i'm
mortal soul, but from which i'm your
craven terror you crouch like fright
ened hare. Why don't you, if what
you have been saying for years is
true, repeat it now? If false, why do
you not have the manlineSS to admit
that all your utterances about the
President and vice president were con-
Scious, premeditated lies? All good
men and women in this nation de-
nOunced you and your like as the real
assassin who fired the shot. / de-
nounced you from the pulpit Sunday
and shall do so, supplementing your
own conscience with the testimony
that you, to the full extent of your
ability, are the real assassin of Presi-
dent William Mckinley.
Garry with yourself day and night,
everywhere, while you curse the
earth with your presence, the con-
seriousness that all honorable and
virtuouS men and women in the land
who have had the opportunity to
know the facts hold you and your like
responsible for this awful horror, and
loathe you, not to the extent your
conduct deserves, but to the reach Of
their ability.

his favor. 1t is the admission of opin-
ion in evidence that makes French
and Spanish trials uncertain and an
just, for opinions will often outweigh
facts in apparent value and induce the
miscarriage of justice.
Fair play is wanted in the Schley
hearing and a course of persecution
such as ruined Dreyfus would be re-
sented by the people and destroy their
confidence in the administration of
the navy department. Let the French
have their French procedure, but let
our courts follow the American plan
of getting out the facts uncomplicated
with biased and prejudiced opinion.

Plymouth All Worked In

1t was reported here last week that
party OF surveyors from Plymouth
started out to survey the line for the
Three L extension to Toledo. a
wagon load of stakes is said to have
been seen to go out of town last week
and they will be used for that pur-
pose. The report was verified by two
persons who were there at the time
and they say Plymouth is all worked
up over the prospect of the new road.

The war in South Africa has been
all over for so long that we do not
readily accustOm ourselves to the
news each day brings forth showing
that the hostile ,is are still on bat

their lines well p toward the very

Dutch rebel seems to have understood
himself when he said the world would

LET THE FACTS APPEAR.

The court of inquiry now sitting in
judgment on the professional charac-
ter of Admiral Schley is perhaps the
most notable military or naval inquisi-
ton ever held liz this country and one
of the most remarkable in the world.
The proceedings OF the first three days
indicate in general way the methods
to be pursued and suggest comparison
with the memorable Dreyfus trial.
The thing that will attract general
attention is the decision of the
court to confine witnesses to
statements of fact after it
had announced its inten tion to hear
their expressions of opinion also.
Centuries of experience in getting at
the ultimate truth of things and in
forming judgments thereon have long
since taught the civil courts of Eng
land and America, admittedly the
most perfect engines of justice in the
world, that opinion is an unsafe guide
to verdicts and conclusions, even
where the opinion is given by an ex-
pert; that the Judge or jury will get
along far better if given the facts and
permitted to reach their own opinions
based thereon. 1t was opinion that
led to the undoing Of Dreyfus, for the
proven facts were overwhelmingly in

THE AWFUL RESPONSIBILITY.

In one of the many sermons preach
ed last Sunday on themes suggested
by the murder of Mckinley, the
preacher, speaking of the influences
that led upto the assassination, said:-
"The cartoons of one paper which /
call to mind, with its low-brOwed beS-
tial giants, armed with clubs, and
dominating the figure of President,
vice president and senator, have
preached many an eloquent sermon
to the poor, identifying the govern
ment with all the power of tyranny"
OF all the papers in the United
States none has been filthier and more
licentiOuS than HearSt's Chicago
American in printing cartoons of the
type named, with editorials to match.
1t has put forth scores of pictures in
which President Mckinley was drawn
as rickety pygmy, with crown on
his head, and grinning abject obed-
fence to one or more millionaires who
lowered over him and directed his
movements. Sometimes the Ameri-
can made of the President a manikin
seated on throne, with a lop-sided
crown on his head as if drunk, and
the body swathed in imperial robes,
while the plutocrat stood near to be
the real ruler of the country. Every
line of the ''artiSt" reeked with as
malignant hate as ever ranked in
the heart of Czolgosz.
On the very morning of the foul
crime the San Francisco Examiner,
one of Hearst IS cursed trinity of an
archy breeders, had a cartoon repre-
senting President Mckinley as min
strel with BACKED face singing a coon
song deriding the common people.
The next morning the Examiner an
nounced the assassination with the
remark that civilian Mckinley is
loved as an American citizen, an
American soldier, a simple man who
voted to the interests of the people. -
The Hearst sheet WINES end begs,
saying that it has taken only a ''criti-
cal attitude toward Mr.. Mckinley, !"
and ''never uttered an unjust word of
Mr.. McKinley's personal character or
misrepresented his honorable inten-
tious in public life.''
What do the people think of that
craven falsehcod? What is to be
thought of an apologist for such licen-
tiousness who will say that the Chica-
GO American ''never made personal
attack npon the integrity Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley and never pictured him in the
attitude of culpable or despotic
ruler?"
The American-God save the name
it bears so dishonorablyi-has stead
tasty represented President Mcaiinley
as the tool and echo of "Hanna and
the trusts, a man who 5bcyed his
oath of Office by serving band of
plutocrats instead of the people, and
who had not sufficient manhood or

European newspapers IN recent
months have been much occupied with
grandiloquent accounts of visits back
and forth among royal personages,
each visit being attended by much
pomp and ceremony, and great deal
has been said about the increasing
neighborly sentiments, the spreading
influence Of international amity, the
near approach of general political adj
hesion AID the like. Subsequent de-
velopments in the markets of the
world, however, indicate that the
fraternal oscillations of these high and
mighty rulers have significance that
runs deeper than mere neighborly sem
timent. 1t seems that beneath and
behind each majestic embrace there
lies desire for small loan. The
fact is, their majesties are a trifle
short and in looking about for some
body to touch they are beginning to
realize that Uncle Sam is about the
only fellow who is flush, and he has
such business-like way about him
that they hate to approach him on
the subject. Besides, they have been
treating him as sort of poor relation
since he set up in business for himself
and it rather grinds them to admit
thu supremacy he has won. Five OF
six years ago he was borrowing OF
them. What has wrought this change
if it was not McKinleyism, which is
the very essence of Americanism?

and thirty children-girls and boys mass the Rev. Father O'Reilley preached an eloquent and edifying ser mon on Pentecost, pointing out that the Holy Ghost did not descend upon all the people, or upon any great number of persons, but only upon the apostles who sat together waiting for the Spirit These apostles of the Lord had been commits stoned to propagate the Christian church and now that they had received the Holy Ghost they were fully equipped to go forth upon their mission. With them and their successors the Holy Ghost was to remain for all time to inform and guide, so that the church in its unity would to the end of the world teach truth and not error.

DEPRESSION IN THE COAL MARKET Rogers & Browns Gloomy Let ters on Iron and Coal
  BIRMINGHAM BADLY HURT Past Week Has Shown That If Market Is Not Dead It sleepeth--ceaI Trade Is Experiencing tn
 usual Depression.

Rogers, Brown & Co.,, in their letters from Cincinnati and from this city speak very disparagingly of the present mar ket conditions in both steel and iron and coal. Especially do they say the mar ters are as follows:
 From Cincinnati-There has been no ap- preciable change in the market conditions since our report week ago, except the strike of the machfnists for a nine hour day with ten hours pay. announced for the 20th, which became a reality with greater unanimity among the machinists than was anticipated. At this writing the indications are that at Cincinnati, Hamilton, Dayton and other important manufacturing centers the struggle is to be somewhat protracted which, if real ized, must result in curtailment of con sumption of pig iron at those centers. The time chosen by the machinists for this cinflict proved opportune for them, as the industries, almost without excep- tion. which they are supposed to serve are well supplied with orders and were working full limit. It is very significant fact that many of the foundries, stove works and malleable plants are complain ing that they can not get enough work men to enable them to execute their or ders promptly.
 Prices are irregular and have declined some, and the weakness referred to last week has become more general, all dis tricts being affected, the Southern conspic- uously. The softening arises chiefly from 1f any real reason, but while labor troubles and discontent prevail, the fears are em- phasized, and hence the market is less active, than the actual conditions prevail ing justify.
 During the past week there has been a fair run of orders, and at this writing there are some important inquiries for deliveries during the latter part of the year.
 From Birmingham-The past week has shown that If the market is not dead it sleepeth Several buyers making inquiry are like the susceptible doctor who visit ed a complaining young lady, and holding her hand instead of her wrist, immediate ly decided there was no pulse. There is a pulse. but 1t is difficult to define ex- actly what is the market. Suffice it to say there has been a falling off of sales, and general listlessness prevails.
 The coal trade throughout the district is experiencing an unusual depression for even this time of year. Small companies and low grade producers have felt it com ing for some little time ana now are quite put to it to dispose of their product mined for the most part at the maximum min CTS wage scale. Large concerns with facilities for coking their surplus output are much less affected and can withstand the present conditions for some time.
