AN ORGANS EARRING NOTES.

The imposture involved in the claim
of the organ of the Federal bunch that
it printed unccnsored reports,'' first
Of the Morris execution and then Of the
Sirmay execution, is very evident In
so far as the uucensored report OF the
Morris execution is concerned, that
which the organ printed aside from the
| facts of the hanging was false, and in
applicable to the case even If it had
been true. In the Sirmay case, there
was absolutely nothing printed in the
hcarsay report of the organ beyond
what was printed in the fair and
STRAIGHTFORWARD report of The Tribune
and other papers.
But the organ continues to plume it
self upon the foolish notion that it
printed something worth while when
printing an "uncensored report this
idea being wholly baseless and ridicu-
lous. And now the organ is endeavor-
ing TO crawl out from under its infa-
nous attacks upon the former police
with tho Morris claim that he had da.
nonds and was robbed OF them by the
police. The Federal bunch organ is the
one that persistently blew life into that
story. Its employees not only were
Jealous in pushipgsthis story upon the
public. but in their personal efforts to
write out for Morris whatever he would
siru in the matter, and print it as
something indubitately true. The In.
vestigation made by the municipal com
mission of this alleged robbery by the
police has shown beyond all question
that the whole matter was mere froth
and spite, without the slightest basis of
fact.
The whole story rested in the first
place, upon an alleged disclosure Of 4
JAILED chop p-head' who was named, but
as shown by the city iailer no such per-
SON was in the custody OF the police at
the time that he is supposed TO have
made this revelation. Then the persons
Jealous and active in getting up this
fake cot access to Morris himself, wrote
out stories for him to sign, and kept
the thing hot right along. The Sheriff
this fakery but finally admitted that
in spite Of all his efforts, he could get
nothing substantial to base any charge
upon against the police, And now the
| bunch 8 organ, in view Of the absolute
| failure of the case, protests that 1T
'made no charges, uttered no insinua-
tions or innuendoes, - which, Of course,
is tho baldest kind of falSchood. 1t is
| good, however, TO see tho fakery con
fessed and the takers covered with
confusion and in hasty retreat. OF
course there was nothing to the story,
there was never any reason for under
taking 10 make any such sensation,
there was never the least cause for the
uproar which the organ forced upon
the public here for weeks and months.
And now it drops into its cyclone eel
lar with the protest that it "made no
charges, uttered no inslnuatioDs or IN
nuendoesl' If it had not done pre-
cisely these things, there would have
been nothing to the story at all 1t
was the dishonest efforts Of the organ
| that made the story and that constantly
annoyed the public with the clamor of
it. And now the whole story is shown
to be mere froth, a story of no sub
stance whatever. and never having had
anv evidence Of truth about ii, but 4
mere fermentation of malice and false
hood.
