OLUME 48 .NO. 15,129. x THE GONZALES MURDER. “Who will take the place of the murdered editor, 7” “Who will invite the hazards?” These are ul now asked in South Carolina. | ‘They would seem to be an impeachment of the alvil!- ‘ation that makes them necessary. An editor frank in eriticiam of a public official is shot down in cold d, assassinated with almost unexampled brutality. | it conceivable, as these questions imply, that another ‘Journalist will fear to occupy the vacant chair and take Up the unfinished work? Is that to be the penalty of en opinion in a Southern State? We cannot think so. There have been occasions all too numerous in the South when the taking of human fife by an individual constituting himself judge, jury executioner was condoned because of the atrocity of ‘crime prompting the revenge. In the case of the of Editor Gonzales there can be no such con- ment or exculpatory verdict. The assault on him &n assault on the right of free speech in the entire on. The shot fired by Tillman was fired at every Merican editor in whom the courage of his opinions the exposure of wrong and the condemnation of unfitness as much a duty as the publication of news. Editorial opinion restrained by fear of per- chastisement and moulded to conform to the rule ‘the revolver would be farcically weak and worthless. “It is not to be believed that public sentiment in h Carolina will permit such a degradation of the through the failure to make an example of the a Tillman. There is, as we know from other ‘Amdieations and from the direct assertion of Southern @ducators and publicists, a new South whose focus of public sentiment is the vublic school-house. And where the public school is there is to be found the en- sible. The agreement of opinion that permits disagree- ments of opinion—that 1s true’ civilization and an ex- THE GATES TYPE. A very objectionable type of American finds its expression and most conspicuous development in John W. Gates kind of financier, We did not need . Morgan's characterization of this Western speculator yas “dangerous” to know that he ts so, The realization ame long ago to all who have watched his career; the my concerning him and his “Monon” deal before ‘tiie Interstate Commerce Commission simply affords a ew opportunity for making an estimate of his character d his kind. Tt is the incarnation of the gambling spirit in Gates that makes him objectionable. ‘Affairs are simply an enlargement and extension of the - game of poker, “bluff” and “freeze-out” on a wider ‘Scale for larger stakes and with more Important conse- quences. In mercantile life this type of American does _ the largest possible business on the smallest allowable capital. And when the crash comes it is less a matter _ of bankruptey for him than of ruin for his creditors. When this kind of financier adds to business recikless- ‘hess end speculative tendencies an unscrupulousness of conduct he becomes the worst of disturbing elements In thé conservative business world. We were enabled to gain a notion of the progress of national encouragement of such financial practices by toleration by the death the other day of the man who was chiefly responsible for the bullding of the “Nickel Plays" road. When this road and the West Spore were| constructed it was with the avowed purpose not of end-| ing a Vanderbilt monopoly but of making the Vander- Dilts buy them for self-protection; we had a new form| of commercial blackmail on a larger scale. No moraljst| Tecalled the deed for oriticism when this financier died; the new Gates kind of hold-up practised on the Monon 4s 80 long a step in advance of the “Nickel Plate" raid as to make {t tolerable by comparison and unworthy of comment. The former was to the latter as the work of a country footpad to the professional execution of a Jesse James. APOSTLES OF THE ASTHETIC. Apostles of the aesthetic, advocates of esoteric cul- ture, disciples of Delsarte we have had from across the sea in numbers—Oscar Wilde with his silk knickerbock- ers and his Ifly; Russell, the Delsartean, in the loose flowing robes of classic costume; Le Gallienne, fresh trom his quest of the golden girl, with the poetic subtle- ‘tes of symbolism. Now in their train comes the Comte de Montesquiou-Fezensac, poet of the blue hydrangea, poet of mystery. At his feet we are invited to sit and learn, at $5 per lecture, of the hidden meaning of the flash of the diamond, the soul significance of the perfume of the rose and other forms of learning most desirable of acquisition. ‘These visitors have their uses, not to be spoken of too lightly or with contempt. As the tiny wasp came all the way from Smyrna to fertilize the sour figs of California and make them sweet, so these butterfiles ome across the ocean to brush a little fructifying pollen on our material minds and make them prolific of gesthetic ideas. We are @ corn-fed nation; it was only the other day the foundations were laid of our stock yards and well and railroad fortunes. We are still a little off 4 our perceptions of the relation of the true to the ‘and the real to the ideal. There are many of how in the second generation of wealth who are welcome Montesquiou and lend ear to his theorias, the diamonds, they will be glad to learn the le significance of their flash.
