Mr. Sim Davie, residing near Geneva. Taloot
county, was seriously, and, it is thought,
fatally cut by Captain Calvin Calhoun, of
Geneva, on Friday last. On that evening Mr.
Davis visited the village, aad after he had
mounted his buggy and was driving out of
town en route for home, he was h&iiel by
Calhoun, who placed his l6lt arm about his
neck and shoulders, and with his pocket knife
mmitted fearful wounds cm the left side of
the neck, severing the external jugular vein
and the sheath of the carotid a'tery and cut
ting two rings of the .trach®. The bad blood
on the part of Calhoun prompting this murder
ous attempt is suppose! to have originated
during the last election. Calhoun, who is a
lawyer at Geneva, was a candidate for the
Legislature, and Davie, who is a farmer in the
vi.-'uitv, worked hard against him. and he was
defeated. This is the only known cause that
I'ild have prompted the murderous assault.
Calhoun has been arrested, and isju jail await
ing the termination of the wounds upon his
unfortunate victim.

Jacksonville Union: “At 9:30 Saturday morn
ing the boiler in the saw mill of D. R. Knowl
ton at St. Augustine exploded, making a total
wreck of the mill and machinery, and killing
the fireman, a colored man by the name of
Baton. Knowlton, the proprietor, and the
Bawyer were in close proximity to the boiler at
the time of the explosion, and some ten
workmen were in and about the mill and
their escape was miraculous. A large por
tion of the boiler was- thrown perhaps
one hundred fee in the air, and came
through the roof oetween Knowlton and the
sawyer. Another portion was blown high in
the air and passed eastwardly. landing some
two hundred feet from the mill in the public
road. The killing of the fireman who was
standing at the fire door was probably instan
taneous. for when reached a few minutes after
the explosion he made a groan, and when taken
out of the wreck, which only occupied a few
minutes, was lifeless. For a moment the air
was filled with parts of the boiler, brick,
shiugles and umber. The writer was within
about one hundred and fifty feet of the mill,
and of course felt the shock and witnessed the
whole scene. The course of the exploded boiler
being eas: and west saved many lives. On the
whole (.if the expression may be used) it was a
fortunate accident so far as life was concerned
for had t-h© parts taken a northern course ail
of the men in the boat yard of the dredge
would have been in danger. Bt. Augustine, as
well as Mr. Knowlton, have met with a serious
loss His mill was the city’s main dependence,
and was crowded with orders for months in
advance for the many buildings in course of
construction and contracted tor. It is sup
posed that the cause of the explosion will be a
matter of investigation by the Coroner and
jury, and should be exhaustive.”

BRAINED WITH AN AXE.
A Brutal Murder In North Carolina.
Danville, Va., October 23 —On Satur
day night Andrew Jones and Dan Simpson,
both colored, were at a cabin two miles
from Lakesville, N. C., talking and drink
ing. About ten o’clock Jones said he was
going to a party about three miles off, and
Jones went out and returned in a few min
utes with an axe, aDd struck Simpson on
the head, crushing his skull. Simpson died
at three o’clock yesterday morning. It is
supposed that jealousy was the cause of the
murder. Joneß dropped the axe about one
hundred and fifty yards from the cabin, and
went off to the party, and next morning
disappeared and has not, been heard of since,
although the Deputy Sheriff, who heard of
the affair next morning, went in search of
him. A number of colored people were in
the cabin when Simpson was struck, but
they gave him no attention, and made no
attempt to detain Jones.

trade during the past week, says: “Prices

quiry for seed wheat. Foreign wheat is un
improved. The supplies have been moderate,
and all other trades have been dull, and if
anything weaker. The off coast
market has been inamlnate, except
for No. 2 red winter wheat
which advanced 2 shillings. Trade forward
is s’eady at a shilling advance. The floating
bulk continues to advance, because of the
steady decline in American-Atlantic-ship
ments. This does not, however, appear to
have affected the market. Flour is quiet
and unchanged. Foreign flour is in restrict
ed supply, and trade Is slow. Prices are
upheld. Barley has been steady. Foreign
barley has been dull and rather weaker.
Oats are unchanged. The imports of foreign
oats have been moderate and prices are a
shilling better. Maize has improved. There
has been a further advance of 6d. Buyers
are scarce on account of the high rates.”

The old Marshal Serrano has created a
very lively commotion in Spanish politics by
his efforts to build up an advanced Liberal
party on the basis of the constitution of
1860. The constitution was formed the year
after Queen Isabella was expelled, &Dd em
bodied the liberal ideas of government then
prevalent. It was a charter of civil and re
ligious liberty mode'ed upon the constitu
tions of more advanced countries, providing
for liberty of tbe press and of worshlo, uni
versal suffrage and trial by jury. In 1876
this constitution underwent a pretty sweep
ing revision at the hands of the reactionary
and clerical elements who had come into
power with the restoration, and tbe very
Illiberal patchwork they made of it is
the present constitution of the land. Mar
shal Serrano, who has “been out of politics”
for some time, published a manifesto a few
weeks ago in which be proposed a series of
reforms, the first of which was the restora
tion of the old constitution. Premier Ba
gas'a, a man of liberal notions, but ham
pered by a rather conservative Cabinet, Is
at present trying to arrange a compromise
with the Marshal, whom be evidently dare
not squarely oppose. The Ministers seem
to feel that a change is coming over Spanish
politics, but they have agreed to retain their
portfolios until the Cortef meet in Decem
ber, when it is extremely probable that
there will be a rearrangement of parties.
THE SITUATION IN FLORIDA.
Tlx© Cause of Democratic Success from a
Republican Standpoint—The Cast Ves
tige of Radicalism About to be Re
moved.
Jacksonville (Fla ) Ccr N. Y. Times (Rep).
The political outlook in Florida in this off
year is, perhaps, about as mixed as it is
possible for it to be. Mr. Davidson, Demo
crat, in the .First Congressional district, is
entered by bis party against Mr. D. L Mc-
Kinnon and Mr. Bkinner, who are the Re
publican favorites. Why the Republicans
wish two favorites, when thev could not win
by about 5,000 votes against their standard
bearer two years ago, seems somewhat
puzzling. The result will undoubtedly
be a large majority for Mr.
Davidson. Dr Conover and G. W. Wither
spoon, whodead the Republicans, belong to
the class that look to individual gain in pre
ference to the aggrandizement of principle
or party. Witherspoon (colored) was the
Republican nominee two years ago, and is
in many respects a strong man. He is a
good speaker and a church and temperance
man, and naturally attracts many to his
leadership, but these qualit<es now seem to
have been surrendered for personal gain to
the Democrats. Dr. Conover can scarcely
be considered more than a political mounte
bank, and it cannot be denied that he is
working directly in the interest, of Mr.
Davidson. It was the combina'ion of Conover
and Bisbee that lost the Btatp in the national
election two years ago, and little, if any
thing, can be expected from either of them
now. The efforts of both are directed to
a common result, with Conover diving into
the Democratic coffers to fill his own pocket
and Bisbee working the Hubbell committee
to fill his, neither caring whether the party
sui vives or not. Conover has nothing here,
and Bisbee has not resided In the State for
years, and hence it is that politics in this
State hiye gradually drifted into a money
speculation. Such men, after they are nomi
nated, are for sale, and if no buyer appears
they make a raid on the Republican Execu
tive Committee.
This is a sad state of affairs, but neverthe
less true. As an illustration, Duval county,
of which J acksonville is the county seat,
may be taken. The registration in this
county showed two years ago 180 more
blacks than whites, and vet there is in this
county a Republican majority of 1,000 Two
dozen white men constitute the working
element of the white Republicans in this
county, and there are. therefore, a goodly
number of white Republicans who are
capable of thinking and actlhg on the prin
ciples of the party, and do not look to their
personal advantage in so doing. And this
is an element that Mr. Bisbee has now con
tending against him in his Congressional
contest in the Second district against Mr.
Finley. The reason of this is plain. Mr.
Bisbee claimed of the administration certain
removals in this State on the sole ground
that they were necessary in order to secure
for him his party renomination. These re
movals were accorded by the administra
tion for that purpose, and Mr Hamilton
Jay was removed from the Jacksonville
post office, without cause, to give wav
to General Led with (everybody is a Genera!
down here), who lacks the abilities and
sincerity of a fifth-rate politician in
any city of importance Jfarth. He ran
for Mayor of Jacksonville last "April and
was beaten by the largest majority ever'C&St
against a Republican In a city election here
since the reconstruction. He has not yet
been able to get the official approval of his
bond, and if the government officers are
not careless they will ascertain that it is
about as near a straw bond as it can be, as
the entire real estate owned bv one bonds
man who has signed lor $25,000 is $5 305.
This belongs to Cr’—'’ '-j 8. Saramis,
and from It tnenew undeducted his
homestead, would exhaust anything
of value, and preclude any collection upon
a judgment obtained by the United States.
J. C. Greely is another bondsman. His pos
sessions are limited to a small amount,
although he has justified to more than
double the amount he Is worth, or at least
double the amount upon which he pays
taxes, as shown ,by the Tax Collector’s
books. Another removal was that of Mr. Hop
kins from the custom house, a public ser
vant, tried and true, who, through the uo jus
tillable action of Mr. Bisbee, was removed
on the eve of an election without cause,
and merely to give place to one of Mr. Bis
bee’s followers. The result will be the elec -
tfon of Mr. Finley. Allowing all the ma
jority claimed by Mr. Bisbee in his late con
test with Mr. Finley, he could not overcome
the Democratic majority which the vote of
Sumter county, added to this district, will
give.
Mr. Bisbee will be defeated, and this will
remove the last vestige of Republican rule
In thts Btat.e. It is an undeniable fact that
Mr. Bisbee and Dr. Conover were the direct
cause of thajoss of this State to the Repub
lican party two years Bgo, and that they, in
their respective capacities, will Jose to the
Republican party both Congressional dis
tricts this year.
VANDERBILT AND GUILD.
Cains thPir Influence to Elect Fol
ger—Wfiy Securities are shrink
ing.
New York Sun’s Financial Article.
As a matter of course the political situa
tion enters largely into Wall street affairs
at the present moment. BroKers and specu
lators have made up their minds that Fol
eer means a bull and Cleveland a bear mar
ket. The reasons for this belief are ample.
Wa’l street does not care a straw for
the moral principles of legislation or
government. It delights in the erratic
vetoes of a Cornell which changes the
market from one 6ide to another in the
twinkling of an eye. Besides, the majority
of the big guns of Wall street are Republi
cans. Judge Folger owes his nomination
to Mr. Gould and his strongest support to
Mr. Vanderbilt, for it cannot be doubted
for a moment that Mr. Depew was ordered
by his boss to mike the speech which he de
livered the other evening.
Thus the Republican candidate has be
hind him the ducats r>t Mr. Gould ana the
30,000 votes of Mr. Vanderbilt’s New York
Central employes. It also follows that as
long as Mayor Cleveland’s prospects areas
good as they are at the present time the
Republican magnates will depress the mar
ket, in order to convey the idea that Cleve
land’s election will injure the business in
terests of the country.
It is by 6ome euch process of ratiocination
a3 this that speculators view the present
situation, and will foretell a bear market
just as long as they believe that Mr. Cleve
land will be our next Governor.
In regard to Mr. Vanderbilt’s extraordi
nary damnation of the public in Chicago,
but one opinion prevails in Wall street.
Everyone firmly believes that he did use the
words attributed to him, and everyone
declares him to be a for having
done so. “Everyone knotvs,” he says in his
letter of denial, “that I never use language
or expressions as attributed to me by the
reporter.” But ask any of his friends, and
they will tell you at once: “Why, it is Wil
liam H. all over.” He and his father have
taken out of the “dear public” twenty mil
lion dollars, and he naturally feels contempt
for people who have allowed him to grow
fat upon their follv.
Fighting on the Edge of a Wall.
A Lewiston, Me., dispatch of the 20th
saya: “Matthew Connor and Patrick
O'Connell, hod carriers in Auburn, have
long borne a grudge against each other.
They were both engaged on Huston’s new
cracker factory, the walls or which have
been run up three stories, of a dis
tance of about fifty feet. This morning
the men went to work as usual, but some
thing occurred to rouse the old animosity,
and quicker than thought the two
men, in their unreasoning anger, had
closed in deadly combat on the dizzy
edge of the third-story walls. The strug
gle was fierce but short. Before they
could be separated both men lost their
balance, and clasped in each other’s
embrace they pitched over the wall,
striking upon the ground below with a
fearful thud. Their fellow workmen
immediately hastened below, but to no
avail—the men were mangled corpses.
What makes the circumstances peculiarly
sad is that both men leave large families
dependent upon them for support Con
nor leaves seven children. No inquest
will be held, the Coroner deeming one
unnecessary.”

Lyons, October 23.—There was a riotous
demonstration against the municipality here
yesterday in consequence of their having
suppressed the subvention to the opera.
The police were unable to cope with the

At 2 a. m there was an alarming explosion
in the restaurant attached to the theatre.
Two reports were heard under one of the
tables.
Thert- were two hundred people in the res

that three men, who entered the restaurant
ten minutes before the first explosion
occurred, left a small bomb under a table.
Paris, October 23 —Four of the persons

Over tbe Result In Oblo—Conserve*
live and Patriotic Speeches by
Hon. A G. Thurmin and Hon. G.
H. Pendleton.
On Friday night last, at Columbus,
Ohio, the long pent-up enthusiasm
of the Ohio Democracy was
given full vent, and the jollification over
the late election was a complete success
and thoroughly Democratic in all its fea
tures. Special trails weratun on several
railroads, and there was a general out
pouring from Central Ohio. The ’fire
works and procession were unusually at
tractive. Nearly all the Democratic
Congressmen-elect, as well as prominent
leaders, were present Some of the trans-.
parencies were decidedly ludicrous, one
being a picture of Governor Foster on
his knees before the Goddess of Liberty
imploring forgiveness. The City Hail
was densely packed, and the streets at
Pome points completely Diockadellr 'E-S-
Senator Alien G. Thurman was the pre
siding officer, and spoke as follows:
“Fellow Citizens —ln every country
in which free institutions have existed
in any considerable degree it has been
customary for the winning party in a
political battle to celebrate its victory,
and in our country it may be truly said
that such celebrations have become an
established usage. And it is quite natu
ral that it should be so, for they are an
expression of feelings that will seek
utte anee, and when they are actuated
by a proper spirit, and conducted in an
orderly and becoming manner, they are no
cause of offense to aDy candid and rea
sonable citizen. lam very sure that we
have assembled here to-night in a proper
spirit, and I most earnestly hope that
our proceedings may be such as to com
mand the respect of all right minded
men. We have met—to use the idea of
Abraham Lincoln—with good will to
ward all, and, therefore, with malice
toward none. We offer no insult to any
man’s feelings; we indulge in no vulgar
or insolent triumph over any political
opponent.”
Mr. Thurman said he firmly believed
that the result of the late election would
tend to a reform in our governments,
State and Federal, and continued: “If
anyone asks me what, in my opinion,
was the cause, I have to reply, not one
cause, but many. I shall not attempt to
enumerate them to-night, for it is not
my purpose or within my province to
make a speech on this occasion. lam
simply your presiding officer. The
speech-making belongs to others But
this much I will say: The country is
evidently fast becoming tired of Repub
lican rule and Republican methods.
When I say Republican rule and Repub
lican methods I mean the ‘machine poli
tics’ and ‘bossism’ of the Republican
managers and leaders. To say nothing
of other States, who can deny that the
split in the Republican ranks in Penn
sylvania and New York has attained
gigantic proportions? Who can truth
fully deny that there is adequate cause
for the split? Who is so blind as not to
see that the same cause, in a greater or
less degree, or in a modified form, exists
in every Republican State in the Union?
And the mention of New York leads
me to call your attention to a most strik
ing and significant fact. In theconven
tion that framed our Federal Constitu
tion there were a few men who thought
that the Governors of tbe States should
be appointed by the President of the
United States and clothed with an ab
solute veto power. This idea was con
demned by a great majority of the mem
bers. But now, in this year of grace
1882, after a lapse of nearly a century,
the President of the United States, if he
is not misrepresented by his o vn politi
cal friends, has, by the use of his pa
tronage and influence, nominated a can
didate for Governor of the great State of
New York who, if elected, will be in
effect as much the appointee of the
President as if the Constitution author
ized his appointment by the President.
In view of this alarming fact, is it won
derful that there is a revolt in the Re
publican party in that State?”
Ex-Senator Thurman’s speech was well
received by the great audience present.
The Hon. George H. Pendleton followed
Mr. Thunran, and was given a genuine
ovation. He spoke as follows: “Fel
low cjjizens—Democrats, Republicans,
Liberals, working men, citizens of what
ever creed or nativity, Germans, Irish
men, Americans—a'l: I congratulate you
all on the fortuna'e event which has
brought us together this evening. I con
gratulate you who resisted it/for your
adversaries have builded for you better
than you knew. Let us all unite to
make it the auspicious commencement of
an era of wiser and better politics than
we have had. This is not the time for
speech making. The hour for argument
aDd persuasion was before the election,
when we appealed to the conscience and
judgment and convictions of the people.”
in referring to the victory gained,* Mr.
Pendleton said: “It was achieved,
not by the Democratic party alone,
but by liberal-minded men of
other faiths heretofore, who found in
State and Federal legislation, in the ten
dencies of parties, in the drift of events,.
good reason to vote with it. They are
here to night, not as guests, but as hosts
also, co-workers in the victory and co
participants in the rejoicings. All honor
to them! The people are wise. When
they thought their liberties were threat
ened they could neither be driven nor
deceived by the false and fraudulent cry
of‘Free whisky and no Sunday!’ When
the infamous gerrymander of last winter
assigned to one half the voters less than
one-fourth the districts, no appeal to
partizan advantage could blind them to
its unfairness. Fellow citizens, the
same intelligence which looked through
these shams will penetrate all others.
The people will hold the party in power
to rigid accountability. If power
shall be confided to us in the State or in
the nation, we will be held to that re
sponsibility also. The hour of victory fs
apt to be the hour of self-deception. Let
us not deceive ourselves. Let us now—
this evening, in this hour of rejoicing
take earnest h< ed of the lesson of the
nation. If we would gain and oontinue
to hold power, we must deserve to hold
it We must confine Federal adminis
tration and jurisdiction within the clear- 1

ly acknowledged limits of the Constitu

as to politics and office holders, to tffe

THE MASSACHUSETTS OUTLOOK.
Ben Butler’* Manager* Figure a
Majority of 25,000.
Boston Herald , IBIA.
A visit to the headquarters of the
Democratic State Committee yesterday
showed that the party managers there
were unusually active in the work of the
campaign. Colonel French, Chairman,
and Colonel Coveney, the Secretary,
were during the day frequently in con
sultation with members of the city
committee, principally on matters touch
ing the registration of voters in Boston,
whose tax bills must be paid in order
that they may vote. The several ward
commits r s are pushing the collection of
unpaid s ix bills of all Democrats and
others favorable to Butler, and there is
no lack of tbe wherewithal to pay the
same in the control of the finance com
mittee It was expected that up to noon
to day 8,000 of these tax bills would be
paid, and that number of names would
be added to the lists. In conversations
with some of those interested and identi
fied with the State canvass, it appeared
the members of the committee are more
confident than ever that Gen. Butler will
be elected. It was asserted that the
Republicans were in a bad plight
for money, inasmuch as many
of those who furnished the
“sinews of war” in past campaigns either
refused to contribute, sparingly.
It would take, it was said, at least $400,-
000 to defeat General Butler at this stage
of the campaign. The Republican com
mittee, it was said, was now busily en
gaged in making a careful canvass of
the State, similar to that made in 1879,
and the result would only show the
hopelessness of the Republican cause.
Some of the gentlemen were nowise
backward in figuring up prospective
Democratic majorities with the greatest
assurance that the result would
mor<f than confirm their opinions
and claims. All seemed agreed that
the “old guard” of 1878 -aud 1879 would
again poll its full strength of 110,000.
Th 9 old line Democrats would increase
this by at least 20,000, among the latter
being at least 8.000 who had opposed
ButleF heretofore. The accession of
these 8,000 would be a corresponding
loss to.tbe Republican party, averysig
nificant fact when it wa’s 'ccrhsidefGr! that
they actually settled the election of 1878“
and 1870. The political arithmeticians
further argued that Butler this year
would have all the way from 8,000 to
10,000 German voters, who had hereto
fore supported Republican candidates.
This accession means a correspocd
ing loss to Mr. Bishop, and would bring
Butler’s total vc-tiDg strength up to be
tween 138 000 and 140.000. Added to
these would be independent Republicans
who, for the first time, have cut loose
from party, and whose numbers could
not be estimated until after election. It
was claimed that the Prohibitionists
would give Butler substantial support,
and that, altogether, his vote would run
close on to 160,000 the largest vote ever
polled in Massachusetts in opposition to
a Republican candidate for Governor.
It was asserted that, from present
indications, Bishop would be doing well
if he polled 135,000; but if he did so it
would be by the greatest efforts his man
agers could put forth. With reference
to Butler’s old strength, it was allowed
that, in order to get it out, the registra
tion in Boston would have to be brought
up to its standing in the former Butler
campaigns. To do that 12,000 more
names would have to be added to the
voting lists, and almost as many tax bills
would have to be paid. The money
to pay these_tax bills was now in the
control of the City Treasurer, and all
that remained to be done was to present
the bills for payment. This was being
done, and if the city committee did its
duty B >ston would throw a mucl|heavier
majority for Butler than in 1879.
THE INDIANA DEMOCRACY.
Ex Senator McDonald** Confidence
In Their Coming Victory.
From a Letter in the New York Tribune.
Having arrived at Louisville the writer
met ex Senator Joseph E. McDonald, of
Indiana, Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee of his State.
He said he had been in Ohio a few days
before the election, and returned to In
diana with the conviction that the Demo
crats would gain from three to five Con
gressmen, but the vote upon the State
ticket, he thought, would be close,' and
of the result he was in doubt. He said
be was surprised, as everybody must
have been, by the outcome.
John G. Thompson’s name having
been mentioned, Judge McDonald com
mended that gentleman’s work, saving
that he had devoted himself to working
up and getting out the country vote, and
as the result jfioved, very successfully.
The cities had been trusted to take care
of themselves, the belief being enter
tained that the gains there were substan
tial and to be depended upon,
. “Will the result help you in Indiana?”
asked the writer.
“Oh, yes. You can say that the In-,
diana campaign is substantially over.
We shall cary the State. We shall gain
five Congressmen.”
“Do you make any figures upon the
extent of your victory—can you estimate
your probable majority?”
“No, I cannot do that.”
“You cannot expect any such sweep
ing overturn of your opponents as your
Ohio friends experienced?”
“Oh.no. As I told you, in Indian
apolis there is no great breaking up with
us. There is a similarity iu issues in
some respects, yet with a difference.
The Republicans in Indiana are harmo
nious and in better working order.”
“Does tbe woman suffrage proposition
play any part in the campaign?”
“No. t Nobody talks about it. If the
Republicans are successful I suppose
they will submit it to a popular vote,
but it will contribute nothing either way
to the result of the present contest. The
liquor question is our great issue. We
have a proposed constitutional amend
ment drawn by a fanatic, and very de
fective in its construction. It will, if
adopted, only accomplish a part of’ its
purpose. Its effect will be to destroy
the manufacture of liquor in the State
without interfering in the least with the
free sale of it”
“Well, Judge, you remember proba
bly that you told me in IndianapWisthat
you were not desirous that your party
should have the majority in the next
House of Representatives. Do you still
entertain apprehensions in that regard?”
“Yes,”replied the ex Senator with a
contented smile. “I suppose we must
reconcile ourselves to the assumption of
responsibility in the next Congress—in
one branch at least. It hurt us in 187#.
It may again. '’
Cotton Futures in New York.

A Tree and Its Fruit.
New York Tribune.
A brilliant and genial man in the prime
of life and in the full tide of success in
the legal profession, has been shot down
in St. Louis. A wife is made desolate
and six children fatherless bv a shot
which the slayer says that he fired in
self defense. The evidence is conflicting
as to the occurrences immediately pre
ceding the deadly shot. But the real
cause was a personal attack which had
been made upon the victim in the col
umns of the paper of which the slayer
was managing editor. No doubt, at the
moment of shooting. Mr. Cockrell thought
that his life was in danger But his
paper had brought that danger upon
him, not merely by • attacking
Mr. Slay back, but by a long continued
line of conduct which had led the
victim to denounce it as a# assassin of
private character. Mr. Cockrell himself is
a gentleman of many amiable qualities, of
first rate abilities and undoubted charac
ter —a firm friend and a dangerous foe.
Those who know him best, and best
know the points of his successful
career, will most profoundly deplore this
lamentable occurrence. How far he may
have been responsible for the conduct of
the paper on which he was employed
we do not know. This, at any rate, is
clear. The tragedy is another fruit of
what is called personal journalism—
that style of journalism which relies for
success more upon a faculty for abuse
than upon worth in news gathering or
weight in argument, The number
of t hese tragedies is increasing. San
Francisco was greatly excited by the
DeYoung Kallochaffair, Washington by
the Soteldo case,, and hardly a week
passes without some affray or duel re
suiting from some attack upon private
character in a newspaper. The fre
quency of these disgraceful events is not
an indication that men are growing more
hot temper dor more lawless. It results
from the fact that abusive personal jour
nalism has become more common than it
formerly was. In some conspicuous
cases a newspaper conducted in this style
has achieved marked success of a certain
sort. This jias led other journalists to
the belief that a well-cultivated gift for
vituperation will make a paper pay, even
though it may not have much else to
recommend it. They reason that the
principal difficulty is to arrest public
attention, and that nothing else arrests it
so quickly or generally as scandal, brutal
personalities, or quarrels that threaten
to ripen into tragedies. It is true, to
some extent, that a public taste is neces
sary to make even the worst sort of jour
nalism possible. Even among intelligent
and law respecting men ihere far are too
many who read with relish personal at
tacks that pass all decencv and tempt to
a disregard of all law. Had there been
no public appetite in St. Louis for such
degrading journalism no paper would
have made itself notorious there by its
attacks. If there were no such appetite
here, more than one New York paper
would starve. Those who encourage
such papers and keep them alive after
they transgress are directly respon
se for the ctimes to which they
lead. In a community of a different
sort any respectable citizen would feel
quite able to treat with utte contempt
any journalistic blackguardism what
ever. But where that sort of thing is
relished and made town talk, and con
sidered to involve a man’s “honor” if he
does not get down to the level of his
assailant at once, the wholesome re
straints of law will be disregarded, foul
words will be answered with clubs and
pistols, and semi-barbarism will prevail.
Any state of society is less than half
civilized in which it is poßgihk for hiaclr.
guardisjrj.reafly''to Thjure a gentleman.
in.fr Slayback may have been entirely
mistaken in supposing that personal
abuse would injure him in St. Louis.
But the prosperity of any rank specimen
of personal journalism in a town is un
favorable evidence as to the state of
society there.
The marriage of Mile. Sophie Duverger,
the actress of a former generation, has made
a great sensation throughout the theatrical
world. Mile. Duverger was accustomed to
wear upon the stage diamonds to the value
of SIOO,OOO, the gift of Prince Demidi ft, and
the managers of Paris always stipulated in
her engagement that she should allow them
to be advertised In the play bill. Oa one
occasion as, covered with diamonds, she
played the role of the “Countess of Ger
maine,” la the melodrama of “Trents Ane,”
on being carried fainting from the ball room
It was perceived that the very soles of her
satin shoes were lncru6ted with dazzling
brilliants. A tremendous shout of applause
burst from the audience at the sight, and In
answer to a universal call for a repetition of
the ceremony bearers were Induced to pa
rade her unconscious form a second time In
front of the stage.
