ON SURPRISING THE NEWS.

Frequently newspaper is request ed to suppress certain legitimate items of news on the ground that their publication would wound the feelings of some ones mother or sis ter, or lady friend. A man will con- init some act which he would not like to have printed ill the newspaper, and in making such request he Overlooks the fact that he is asking the newspa- per to have more regard for the feel ings of those interested than he him. self has. He forgets that a news paper is pledged to it's readers to print the news, and in expressing a legitimate item of news it does its readers an injustice No paper with self respect will lend its' aid to the commission of an act more or less reprehensible N suppressing the facts connected with such act, and if the party committing is lacking i'll respect for those related to him by ties of consaquinity or friendship, he has no right to demand or expect more consideration from a newspa- per.
 So far as the Graphic is concern ed, it will publish the news when it is fit to print and not of nature harmful to the public veal
 . And, furthermore. when tlie@'Gra- phic can not be convinced. that the suppression of news would be unjust to it's readers, it certainly can not be ing tactics or threats of violence.

I learned from an eyewitness some thing about Spltzbergen, that deser, arctic island 900 miles north of the North cape of Norway and within 100 miles of the north pole; frost desolat ed land, where the grass grows longer than the trees and huge glaciers in the Ice bridged valleys amid the Jagged mountains move majestically down il, to the sea until mighty icebergs. {. monstrous birth, break off and ris- to the surface amid thunderous reports -once the only sound that broke the profound silence of those awful sol. tudes.

Fog and Sound,

In a fog at sea the toll of a bell buoy. is stngularly grave and solemn, we'll matched by the weird note of q whistling buoy. Unfortunately tho value of both is lessened fin foggy weather from there being but little motion of the sea. Nothing. too. is more difficult than to distinguis,l in a fog the direction from which u sound comes. This is in part due doubtless tp the interference offered to the straight course of the waves carrying the sound. but also probably to the absence of the normal, although un- suspected. coordination of eye and ear in locating the origin of sound The assistance of the eye on sea and land is instinctively given to the ear in many different ways. In fog the ear has only itself to trust to- London Spectator

years ago and made then thorough search for corroborative evidence in vain. .;
 Plausible as the narrative by Mrs. Clark appeared, it fails to stand the light of investigation and will go the way of a rather unique theory which was advanced by detectives as to the assassination of John M. Clayton at
 Plumervlle. Ark, in 1889. Col Clayton had been the unsuccessful candidate for Congress as the Repub lican nominee and was engaged in taking testimony on the charge that ballot box frauds had been practiced against him. While standing in a room in Plumerville boarding house early ill the night he was shot down by an assassin from the outside through window Several arrests were made, but no conviction follow ed. One or more detectives working on the case suggested that the trag- edy might have been unintentional;
 that for political effect, misguided partisans of Col. Clayton might have planned merely to shoot into his room without hitting him; that; just as the shot was fired Col. Clayton happened to be walking across the room and was killed, thus turning into fa- tality what might not have been so intended. But that solution was not generally accepted as the correct one and the assassin of Col. Clayton goes unwhipped.. of; Justice to this day, whether he was friend or foe.
 The supposition was that political enemies, or reconstruction era ene- mics, were responsible for Col. Clay tons violent death just as in Ken
 lucky the assassination of Cover nor Goebel is supposed to have been encompassed by the interruptions among his political adversaries. Who fired the fatal shot in each case has never been determined. :,

RECALLING THE GOEBEL AND
 CLAYTON REGISTRATIONS.

The belated story that Governor William Goebel of Kentucky was slain at the instance of the son of a man whom Goebel had killed is given something of a quietus by the dis claimer of Capt. Cassius NJ. Sanford, son of Goebel's victim. Young San ford was in the Philippines when Governor GOebel was assassinated and knows nothing of the persons mentioned in the affidavit of a wo- man setting forth pretended facts about the plot to kill the Kentucky governor, says the Little Rock Ga zette. Capt. Sanford denies that he has any connection with or knowl- edge of the Goebel murder and de- clares that he will gladly appear ill court at any time or place to refute
 he recent report that he had aveng.
 l or caused to be avenged the kill
 of his father by Goebel. It ap-
 ITS that the affidavit of Mrs. Lulu
 lark, connecting young Sanford with
 assassination at Frankfort is dis missed by Ex-Governor w. s. Taylor as improbable and lacking corrobo- ration. Taylor would be glad enough to see Mrs. Clark's story corroborat- ed, no doubt, as he would then be re- lieved of the charge of complicity in the assassination of Goebel.
