MALICIOUS NEWSPAPER.

II there ever was q V~indictiVe mar
towards the South be IL the editor OF
the Chicago Chronicle. He goes TAI
out Of his way 10 make vicious digs 81

bis paper. When it comes to utterly
misrepresenting the Southern people
be Is a "hOWlingn success. Column
after column of narrow, highly color
ed, mean ~preiudices, much Of which
grossly ISLANDERS the South and South
ern people appears In the Chronicle
every week and frequently Il is hard
to reconcile many OF the statements
made with any desire on the part oil
the editor to be either accurate OF
truthful. That newspaper PROCESSES
to be democratic. IL can see very
little c for the existence Of the
South at al, however, and evidently
has no disposition to fan in line with
the democracy OF this section. All
the other Chicago newspapers com
bined do not indulge In half so much
abuse and villihcation Of the South %
does the Chroncicle. Here is one oil
lie latest lungest lunges:
ttThis DanVille business Is not only
bad in itself, but 1t 10 deplorable be-
cause Of the horror and indignation
which IL will inevitably excite In the
compassionate breasts OF the South

OF course IL excites horror in the

brethren" No such violence and
brutal outbreak of on Infatuated mob
followed by the most distressing race
riots In q large and cultivated com
munity like Danville could fail to have
such an impression upon law-abiding
peaee-loving citizens, be they South
erners, Notherners or Westerners.
But there will be more pity than in.
dignation. The "Southern editorial
brethren" will feel sorry for Dsnville
and Illinois for the numerous out
breaks of the mob in that state. It IL
a distressing condition of affairs up
there, and one that appeals to out
siders.
But now that they have arrested q
number of the leaders of the Danville
mob the "Southern editorial breth-
rem" will be interested in the case.
whether the law abiding element in
Danville is strong enough to punish
those guilty OF teis great crime OF
whether public sentiment in that
community is so weak as to permit
the guilty ones to go free. The Chro-
nicle might turn the influence Of its
editorial columns to bear upon the
public sentiment Of Danville by trying
to have the guilty ones punished. II
is doubtful whether that paper will
find space for a work of this kind
after devcting so much space in utiliz.
ing the very lawlessness of its own
state as an excuse to make vicious
filings at the South.
The Chronicle has q mission much
nearer home. II there ever was a
lawless, grating corrupt and thorough
ly ba / city, it is Chicago. Wouldn't
it be we'll for the editor of the Chron-
icle to try to scrape of from at least
the surface of that city some of the
accumulated moral filth before devot-
ing himself to the work of reforming
a section which for population and
area is as law-abiding and morally
clean as any section of America?-
