While the criminal offense of which Mr. Pulitzer has been guilty is in form a libel upon individ the great injury done is in blackening the good name of the American people.

In peint of encouragement of iniquity, in point of infamy of Lt wrongdoing, there is nothing to choose between a public servant who betrays his trust, a public servant who is guilty of blackmail or theft, or public dishonesty of any kind and a man guilty as Mr. Pulitzer has been guilty in this instance. It is therefore a high national duty to bring to justice this vilitier of the American people, this man who wantonly and wickedly and without one shadow of justification seeks to blacken the character of reputable private citizens and to convict the Government of his own country in the eyes of the civilized world of wrongdoing of the basest and foulest kind, when he has not one shadow of justification of any sort or descrip- (Special to The Evening World.)
