AMERICAN JOURNALISM. Newspapers Leading the March of Progress and Improvement. L M. Weston, before Michigan Editora To-day we publish 15,000 newspapers in the United States, three times more than any other country, and over a third of the combined issue of the whole world. Our circulation gives four papers a week to each family of five in this country. From 1850 to 1890 the growth of newspapers in the United States was 500 per cent, while the increase in population was but 100 per cent. What higher tribute could be paid to the intelligent enterprise of American journalists! Our improvement during the century just ended in material wealth and the comforts and conveniences of life, in intelligence, refinement, temperance and public and private morality, is unsurpassed in the history of the world, and journalism has, more than any other profes- sion, led the march of progress and contributed more than any other factor to the gratifying result. As a public educator, commencing where the common school ends, journalism has overtaken and d the pulpit, crowded to one side the library and lecturer, and taken —— leadership in the grand march of civilization in America. In this direction it is interesting to note the changes in American journalism during its short but phenomenal growth and compare its rank with that of the profession in other coun- tries. For this purpose I classify journalism into three departments—editorial, news and general literature. We have seen the great editor pass away and the great newspaper take his place. The editorials of English and Ger- man newspapers continue long drawn, learned, ponderous and complete—exhaustive to both writer and reader. The French editor, like the French cook, gives a very agreeable meal from a small stock of raw material. He is flippant and brief, but bright, breezy and entertaining. He believes and practices the axiom that man- ner is everything, matter is nothing. The American editorialist happily and successfully draws from both schools, avoids the two ex- tremes and gives short instruction and enter- tainment combined. But with us the pointed, ungent paragraph is rapidly crowding out the labored leader. e editorial writer finds it best to touch his subject lightly and leave much to the reason and imagination of the reader. Essays will live in monthlies and philo- sophical weeklies, but are too slow for the daily and weekly newspapers of to-day. The tele- graph has hastened their down! Closely following the report of great political, legai, financial, military or commercial events comes from the talented interviewers at the centers of population by wire the opinions of the best expert authorities on the subjects before the public. Under these circumstances there is no demand for the opinioas of amateurs. The editorial page must go and in its place we will have short, explanatory editorials directly an- nexed to all important news reports, The news editor has become the most im- portant man on the modern newspaper. He Inust not only decide what to print, but how to give it im the most attractive form, for he has long ago discovered that the editor who makes his news plain, bright and crisp succeeds when dullness and prolixity fail. He must boil down and present with polished point and ertinence, and in reasonable and readable imits. His dear readers imperatively demand that the most abstruse and complicated matters shall be readily read and assimilated. The work of the news editor is bringing the pages of the modern newspapers to unwieldy propor- tions which in the near future will give news gathering an electic character, and hasten the already rapid development of class journalism to a point where refined professors will not be shocked by reports of prize fights or the ad- mirers of the manly art bored by column ac- counts of college commencements. In this line of news gathering the best newspapers of Eng- land alone are fuily abreast of ours. The third and most modern department of journalism is miscellaneous library reading. Americans are no longer willing to wait for the slow process of book publication to learn the moral and intellectual movements of modern life, or the latest developments in the world of science. They have but short periods for musty books, and with the present develop- ment of what may well be termed the depart- ment of common sense literature in our best newspapers, have butlittle need of them. The z and skill of our editors, writers and en- rs, who have done so much to elevate and adorn the art of journalism. have enabled us to lead the world in this feature of newspaper work. In conclusion, the onward march of journal- ism in America during the past century is a source of pride to the profession and the pub- lic. It has no government subsidies—it wants none. It securely rests on the financial founda- tion of public patronage on its merits, Every newspaper in this country is a private enter- prise published with the same motive, which, as arule leads people into all other occupa- tions and professions—that of keeping full the family flour barrel. The public does not own the paper, or the paper the public, and neither has a right to complain of a lack of apprecia- tion on the part of the other. Both stand free and independent without just claim to gratuit- ous services from each other. The public. to which the newspaper caters, is cold, critical, exacting, and will buy where it can get the most for its money. Merit, and merit alone, sueceeds. Yet, under these conditions, we have seen a vast improvement in the moral tone of newspapers during the past few de- cades. As arguments, cheap personalities have been left to those who are mentally incapable of discussing principles, and in many other ways have objectionable features of journal- ism been eliminated. To-day American jour- nalism as a whole leads the community in its moral standard, and its strength and virility give promise of an increasing growth and in- duence in the century to come. seco fo ~Phccc In Memory of Mrs. Hayes. At the afternoon's session of the Women’s Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal church, at Ocean Grove, N. J., yesterday, a service was held in memory of the late Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes, who for seven years was president of this society. Mrs. R. W. P. Goff of Philadeiphia, presided. Mrs, Bishop Harris of Chicago, led the devotions. Miss Elizabeth P. Pierce of Boston, sang “I Know That My Re- deemer Liveth.” Gen. Clinton B. Fisk spoke touchingly of Mrs. Hayes in her domestic and ublic fe. Miss Julia Thomas of New York, irs. Dr. MeCabe and Mrs, J. Ellen Foster of Towa, also made addresses, sos To Forfelt a Lottery Prize. In Chicago last week Lena Lurie, a Polish Jeweas, secured an injunction restraining Laza- rus Silverman, the banker, from turning over to Ike or Robert Lurie more than one-half of $15,000 drawn on a winning lottery ticket, Mrs. Lurie claimed that Robert and Ike, her cousins, were attempting to cheat her out of a half interest which she owned in the ticket, she having bought it on shares with Robert. Yesterday States Attorney Longenecker filed an information in the superior court asking that the entire prize be forfeited to the state. This action is brought under an express pro- Vision of the statute to that end, and is the first of the kind filed in this county.’ An injunction was at once granted restraining the banker from paying over the money to any of the claimants. ote A Family Fencing Contest. From the Philadelphia Record. ‘There was quite a little group of spectators on the sidewalk of a West Philadelphia thor- oughfare a day or two ago, all of them staring steadily at the upper piazza of agraystone resi- dence. The most conspicuous figure in the scene was a tall, lithe young woman, with dark, wavy hair and a countenance concealed behind © grim iron mask. She was brandishing a gleaming foil with remarkable agility, and every few minutes she aimed a smart thrust at her antagonist, whose matity no mask could conceal. It was the youngest member of ¢he Faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, and be was merely enjoying his dail fencing match with his young English wife. They were quite oblivious of the somewhat irreverent atten- tious of the group on the pavement, but con- tinued to thrust and parry with the grace and skill of professionala’ ‘These fencing bouts are of almost daily occurrence, and the neighbors are now well accustomed to the exhibitions. It is said that the fair feucer generally comes out victorious, but that may be due to the gallantry of ber professional partner. The university S- and his young wife are fine ns, and are now tramping the entire of the New England coast. = ~—2@0 No Use for Buttons, From the Lawrence American, Mrs. Filligree—“Oh, Johnny, why do you Persist in losing buttons? I never did when I was little.” Johnny—“Well, no wonder. If you dressed the way sister does you didn't use any. You used pins to keep yous detpes on.” e Places at Ocean City, Md., and Reho- both Dal! within easy and comfortable reach, Baltimore ‘The Peninsula express of the Pennsylvania rail- |° Potomac at MARK TWAIN ON INTERVIEWING. He Thinks Talk Loses its Charm When it Gets Into Print. ‘From the Boston Journal. For several quite plain and simple reasons an “interview” must, as a rule, be an absurdity. And chiefly for this reason: It is an attempt to use a boat on land, or a wagon on water, to speak figuratively. Spoken speech is one thing, written speech is quite another. Print is a proper vehicle for the latter, but it isn’t for the former. The moment “talk” is pat into print you recognize that it is not what it was when you heard it; you perceive that an im- mense something has disappeared from it. ‘That is its soul, You have nothing but a dead carcass left on your hands. Color, play of feature, the varying modulations of voice, the laugh, the smile, the informing inflections, everything that gave that body warmth, grace, friendliness and yostalhyss a it = your affection, or at least to your tolerance, is gone and nothing is left but a pallid, stiff and ulsive cadaver. ‘ach is “talk,” almost invariably, as you see it lying in state in an “interview.” The inter- viewer seldom tries to tell one how a thing was said; he merely puts in the naked remark, and stops there. When one writes for print his methods are very different. He follows forms which have but little resemblance to conversa- tion, but they make the reader understand what the writer is trying to convey. Andwhen the writer is making a story, and finds it neces- sary to report some of the talk of his charac- ters, observe how cautiously and anxiously he goes at that risky and difficult thing: “If he had dared to say that thing in my presence,” said Alfred, taking a mock heroic attitude, and casting an arch glance upon the company, “blood would have flowed.” “If he had dared to say that thing in my presence,” said Harkwood, with that in his eye which caused more than one heart to quake, “blood would have flowed.” “Tf he had dared to say that thing in my presence,” said the paltry blusterer, with valor on his tongue and pallor on his lips, “blood would have flowed. So painfully aware is the novelist that naked talk in print conveys no meaning that he loads, and often overloads, almost every utterance of his characters with explanations and interpre- tations. It is a loud confession that print is a poor vehicle for “‘talk;” it isa recognition thi uninterpreted talk in print would result in con- fusion to the reader, not instruction. > Now in your interview you have certainly been most accurate. You have set down the sentences I uttered asIsaid them. But you have not a word of explanation; what my man- ner was at several points not indicated. Therefore no reader can possibly know where I was in earnest and where I was joking, or whether I was joking altogether or in earnest altogether. Such a report of a conversation has no value. Itcan convey many meanings to the reader, but never the right one. To add interpretations which would convey the right meaning is a something which would require— what? An art so high and fine and difficult that no possessor of it would ever be allowed to waste it on interviews. No; spare the reader; leave the whole inter- view out; itis rubbish. I wouldn’t talk in my sleep if I couldn’t talk better than that. If you wish to print anything, print this let- ter; it may have some value, for it may explain to a reader here and there why it 1s that in in- terviews, as a rule, men seem to talk like any- body but themselves. oo —___ The Edible and Interesting Swordfish. From the Hartford Courant. Swordfish meat is firm and its flavor superior to that of the halibut, and itis entirely fresh and above reproach. It is a mystery that New York should so fail to appreciate a good thing. The coming of the swordfish is always an interesting fact, with no little mystery about it, too, They are not here and then they are here. Nobody knows where they come from and no one ever saw a young one on the Ameri- can coast. They are raised inthe Mediterranean sea, and the old folks, leaving the little ones behind, spend their summers along our shore, and chiefly about Block Island. It takes a pretty smart fish to lay his course from Gibraltar to Block Island every year without fail, and the movements and migrations of the swordfish are a noteworthy illustration of the strange and clever ways of fishes. —roo—__—____ A Century of Progress. From London Iron, Only a century ago charcoal iron was pro- duced to the extent of about 30,000 tons yearly; twenty years later the product was about 53,000 tons. Even Great Britain in 1788 produced only 68,300 tons—not so much as some furnaces in the United States now turn out yearly. The manufacture of steel was just beginning in the states; twenty years later only 917 tons were produced in the country. ‘The coarsest pig iron then cost about as much as steel rails do now. Last year the American production of pig iron was 9,490,739 tons, and the highest price of best foundry pig was #21. ton. The output of steel rails was in round numbers 1.350.000 tons, and the best price $31.50. A single American railway now buys more iron than both Great Britain and the United States made a century ago. There was neither railways then, iron bridges nor buildings; no petroleum pipes, for there was no petroleum; no gas pipes, for there was no gas lighting even in Europe until later. Washington lived in an age of dark- ness; instead of the electric light the people had candies costing about two cents each. In all the departments and applications of chem- istry the century has simply created a new world. American pressed glass, which has completely revolutionized the supply of table and house ware, is an invention of the last sixty years. Farming in Washington's day kaew nothing of machinery; even the first iron plow, a in 1797, was a failure, for New Jerusa- lem farmers thought it poisoned the soil. Mowers, reapers and harvesters began to be invented about the same time and even the ordinary implements were such as it would not now be thought possible to use. The steam- boat was practically unknown, and the railway entirely until forty years later the cost of transportation by wagon confined the atea of possible production with profit, as to most crops, to the margin of navigable waters, In — @ new world has been created in this cen- jury. li tai Rhode Island’s License Bill. The Rhode Island senate passed the license bill from the house yesterday with several amendments, chiefly representing the differ- ence of opinion between the republican senate and the democratic house. A clause prohibit- ing the keeping of a saloon within 400 fect of any schoolhouse was inserted, Leconte An Underground Railway for Paris. Paris Dispatch to the London Daily News, It appears that we may at last look forward to a metropolitan railway, but it will only serve one point of Paris south of the Seine. The pro- jected line is to be 7 miles long, with a short branch line. A central terminus will \stand at the back of the Madeleine. The main line will run from that point to the Bastile by the opera house, and near the boulevard. It will connect the termini of the Bastile-Vincennes. the Paris- Lyons and the Paris-Orleans railway. From the latter it will be brought round again by the Rue de Rivoli and the Place de la Concorde to the Madeleine. The underground part of the line will be 4 miles long; the rest will go through cuttings and by viaducts. M. Yves- Guyot is granting the concession of the metro- politan to a syndicate of capitalists, who are to Make it without a state subvention or guarantee of interest. ‘They will issue shares of the value of 25,000,000f. and bonds for 36,000,000f, ser Is it True a Bobtail Dog Can’t Swim? From the Courier-Journal. The absorbing question for discussion among the employes at the Short Line depot is whether or not a bobtail dogcan swim. Monday night several of the employes went in bathing in the river, and, on coming out, found a bobtail dog sitting on the bank watching their antics, evi- dently with great interest. The idea occurred padre Foner to throw the Sa egeee water and see him swim out, as it is understood that any dog can swim. But this particular dog could not, for he sank like a Stone as soon as he hit the water. Now, this unfortunate pup had only one eye, and it is still a mooted question among the men whether its inability to swim was due to the want of an eye or the want of a tail. So great made, 1d some riment with maimed dogs are’ to be made. P 4 e viands, a steam- heating table, lockers for provisions, fact, every hp that could be foun any kitchen of a public house. In addition to this complemen just forward of the 6, on the out the car, bey ae cok A storage of meats, embraci space enough to preserve fresh meat eaten to the Pacific coast and return. Next to the kitchen and communicating with it by windows in the dividing partition, is the peat. This is mrtg 2 unique apartment. Its loor space is about 8 by 7 and its inner wall is @ continuous succession of little doors that open into lockers for silver, china, glassware and all the paraphernalia of a first-class res- taurant’s outfit. ‘There are also cold-air re- cepteetee for ice cream, butter and milk. Di- viding the pantry from the main dining saloon is an elaborate buffet, havi convenient drawers dispose: cabinet, which has a front of hind this tranelucent surface there glisten the most exquisite glassware, rich china and gleaming silver. The buffet is so situated that it fronts the dining saloon and completely con- ceals the pantry behind it. The dining saloon contains eight tables, seat- ing four people each. Its interior is the most striking and original in decoration and withal the most beautiful ever seen ona railroad car in this or any other country. The entire in- terior below the ceiling is enamesied. The process by which this is accomplished is a new and yery expensive one, but the result as exhib- ited in this car is certainly mostattractive. The enamel, which covers the sides of the car and the frames of the seats, presents the appearance of ivory in its warm and rich finish, It is cream colored in tone, fretted here and there with strips and bits of gold, adding an intense richness to the effect. Such a treatment of a car interior has never before been attempted, yet no other material could produce the effect of solidity combined with chaste elegance that this does. Beside the distinctive character of simple stateliness with which it endows the compartment, it possesses the admirable qual- ity of cleanliness. Should it become disfigured by smoke, cinders, or dust, a moist cloth will remove ail traces of the foreign substance and restore its surface to its pristine brilliancy. The roof of the car iscovered with raw silk, of the hue of crushed strawberries, heavily em- broidered in vines and tracery of old gold. It is lighted by four pendant lights, enclosed in large reflecting globes, the chandeliers being set in squares of beaten brass. The backs of the seats are higher than usual, and are uphol- stered in olive plush, The window curtains are ofa heavy moire silk to harmonize in color with the tint of the silken ceiling. The entire compartment ia simple and unostentatious, yet it is decorated in such exquisite taste, and its appointments biend so harmoniously with the central idea as to compel the admiration and enlist the commendation of every beholder. The service of the car, both in glass, china and silver, is in keeping with the surroundings. The entire equipment is new, and much of the china and glassware was made expressly for the company, and cannot be duplicated elsewhere. The linen is pure and spotless, and when the tables are set for service their very beauty would tempt the most indifferent appetite. At the rear of the car is the linen locker and refrigerating closets for wines, mineral waters, and berries. A new system of ventilation has been adopted in the construction of this car, The ventilators are placed as usual on the sides of the roof ridge. but they are inclosed in such a manner that the air enters from either end of the aper- ture, passes through a cleansing process, and enters the car free of all dust. In the pantry another method, entirely orig- inal, for ventilation through perforated window sills is adopted, which accomplishes its purpose of admitting fresh air and excluding dust in a most admirable manner, This car is the exemplification of perfect suc- cess in this field) The dining-car service afforded by the Pennsylvania railroad has chal- lenged and won the admiration of the world, yet the management was not satisfied that,tho best and most effective methods of car building and equipping had been pursued. The motive power department, of which Mr. TN. Ely is the head, after an exhaustive investigation of the systems employed both in this country and abroad, incorporated the best features of all systems, and in building and appointing this car have produced a distinctly novel and origi- nal pattern, which will be followed hereafter as the Pennsylvania railroad standard dining car, No. 705 is now in regular service on the Con- gressional Limited Express, which runs be- tween New York and Washington every day, eh Pada Turned the Hose on the Governor. From the Madison (Wis.) Journal, Gubernatorial dignity met with a serious mishap a fewevenings since. Gov. Hoard was sitting on aneighbor’s veranda ona pleasant evening, together with quite a party of ladies and gentlemen, while a young lady of the neighborhood was playfully dallying with a hose on the lawn in front. Occasionally she would roguishly permit some spray to settle gently over the party, at once naively apolo- gizing for her dereliction. Finally, the gov- ernor, who was ina mood for fun himself, quietly arose and witha twinkle in his eye sauntered down the walk in the direction of the young lady, of course intending, when a good opportunity offered, to sieze the hose and give the roguish girl a good drenching for her mischievous pranks. But the latter, though appearing utterly unconscious of her surroundings, was keenly on the alert, and when the governor was all but ready to spring his joke she suddenly whirled and turned the hose squarely on him. A powerful stream struck the manly executive bosom, played fes- tively about the face, and wet the man from head to foot. While the deluged governor, spluttering and dripping, stood dumfounded on the lawn, his fair tormentor fled across tho street, her merry laughter being echoed by the — amused spectators of the humorous epi- sode, any number of benéath the main late <a, Be- A Case of Death Following Suspension. From the Medical News, In the Lyon Medical, No. 20, we read of the following case of death following suspension, reported by Dr. Gorecki. The patient was a man, aged forty, who for five years previously had been suffering from tabes, aud who, after reading of the excellent results obtained by suspension, bought an apparatus. The disease had taken ‘a very rapid course in him, para- plegia being almost complete. He was sus- peuded two or three times daily by his man- servant. ‘The first seven suspensions were fol- lowed by most marked improvement, and the tient was able to walka few steps. After he eighth ss he suddenly lost the power of speech and hearing, his sight, how- ever, being unaltered and no paralysis exist- ing. Although active treatment was immed- iately resorted to, swallowing soon became im- possible, sight was lost, and general paralysis quickly set in, The symptoms became more and more aggravated. and in twenty-four hours the patient was dead, the immediate cause of death being asphyxia. Six Hundred Girls Still on a Strike. At Paterson, N. J., an arbitration committee, composed of J. P, McDonnelly, Wm. Delahanty and two of the striking female silk operatives, conferred with the manufacturers Tuesday and agreed upon reduction of 5 per cent. At a meeting of the strikers Tuesday night the strike was declared off and the girls were or- dered to Le back to work yesterday. Only about 100 did so, and a majority of the mills are still closed.
