EDITING IN NEW YORK. IN 1848.
Editing in New York in 1848 waa
a very different thing from what it
is forty years later. The editorials
of 1848, or about that time, of the
Tribune have not been eince surpass
ed, bat the great papers then were
email affairs compared with the
great papers now. The last Sunday's
N. World, for instance, contained
40 pages. Now, the editorial offices
of the leading papers in all the cities
are sumptuous and elegant and sup
plied with every convenience and
necessity. In 1848, it was the re
verse. The editorial rooms of the
Tribune reminds us of the "cuddy"
or den of the North Carolina editor,
seated between a composing stand
and a work bench, without books and
using a school boy's portable desk.
Hese is the N. Y. Tribune (Greeley's
masterful paper) in 1848, as describ
ed by Richard Henry Stoddard in an
interesting paper on Bayard Taylor
in LippxncotVs Magazine for
April. He and Taylor were
young men of letters and poets
and warm personal friends help
ing and sympathizing with each
other. Here is Stoddard's first visit
to Taylor in his room at the Tribune
office with which he was connected:
"I found him in the editorial room of the
New York Tribune, of which he was one
of the three or four minor editors. This
room was in striking contrast to the edito
rial rooms of the great metropolitan journ
als of to-day. One was not carried up to it
by an elevator, nor on reaching it entrance
debarred until he should write his name
and state his business on the slip of paper
which is now insolently furnished him for
that purpose. On the contrary, he groped
his way as well as he could up several
flights of dirty, lickety stairs until he reach
ed the composing room, where the editors
of this powerful sheet were penned to
gether like cattle. I found Taylor in one
these little pens, stated who I was, and
listened to what he had to say to me. I
see him now, as I saw him then, tall, lithe,
muscular, with a handsome face, an aqui
line nose, kind, affectionate eyes, and a
head that I envied on account of its dark
ringlets. We became friends at once. I
was invited to call upon him whenever I
was down town, and pressed to paaltc com
ing Saturdajjeveniog wiVh him at his lodg
ings fn "Murray street. It was a queer
place in which to find a poet. Seated at a
small desk opposite to him was the gentle
man who was by courtesy called the ma
rine editor, and who generally proved his
fitness for the post he occupied by being
half -seas-over. Beside this bibulous chro
nicler of aquatic happenings sat another
choice spirit, wbo had recently added a new
feature to the Tribune by creating a City
department, which was a credit to bis in
telligence and a source of prosperity to the
paper. A good creature withal, he had but
two failings: he wrote verse, and was not
averse from his cups. What Taylor's duties
were I never precisely understood,nor do
I think he quite understood them himself.''
This is interesting. It introduces
us to a man of real genius who was a
great traveller. Bayard Taylor was
poet-born and many of his noblest
productions richly merit a place in
the beet anthologies of our country.
His books of travel were interesting
but not profound. They will not
compare with many of the best Eng
lish works of the kind, but they were.
popular and gave Taylor both fame
and money. He waa a genial, big-
hearted man and died in the full
prime of his intellectual powers.
PIETY AND BOODLB INCORIPATI
. BIB.
There is no one who holds good
men in higher reverence than we
da We honor the true men of God
who live holy, who glonf y their Hea
venly Father, andjilluatrate true reli
gion and .piety by attending to the
Divine injunction "to visit the fath
erless and widows in their affliction
and to keep himself unspotted from
the world." So when the Stab jeers
or laughs at such men as Wanama
ker, who are held np as patterns of
piety, it is because they profane
the very name of religion by their
conduct as politicians. When men
professing God-likeness godliness
become political profligates it is
high time that all newspapers that
reverence religion should denounce
the profaners of the pure religion of
the Immaculate One. Pharisaism
drew from the Master the most
pointed and caustic and withering
denunciations. It is simply impossi
ble that a corrupt politician a big
Boodler should be a sincere and
genuine Christian. He has stolen
the livery of Heaven to serve the
devil in. The'N. Y. World says of
Wanamaker:
"He obtains money for corrupt uses
which a notoriously bad man could not
secure. In thus making a cloak of his
professed piety a plutocratic Pharisee not
only brings reproach upon religion but
becomes an enemy of the Republic. As
such the World will continue to expose and
denounce all of his class, of whatever party
or ..creed."
That is right. There is no excuse
for such profanation, and the guilty
men richly deserve to be scourged
by an outraged country. The
bastinado of public scorn should
await the men who make
merchandize of their religion,
and use it as a cloak for
corrupt and demoralizing practices.
If Wanamaker,Harrison, Shepard and
others of the Northern Republican
leaders would have people to confide
in their sanctity they must abandon
flagitious political methods and live
"unspotted" from the political world.
The buying of votes, the "connood
ling" with bad, rascally politicians
and the accepting of office obtained
by open bribery and by the aid of
the most notorious tools of corrup
tion, will make a man's religious pro
fession fairly stink in the public
nostrils and will make the men who
are guilty only a laughing-stock to
be pointed at and gazed at.
A NOTABLE SPEECH.
Among modern nations no conntry
has produced greater orators than
Ireland. The roll is long and splen
did. The person who has not studied
the history of Ireland has no idea of
how many eminent and rarely-gifted
men it has produced who were distin
guished for eloquence. The reader of
English history knows of Burke, She
ridan, Grattan, Flunkett, Curran,
Phillips, O'Connell, and perhaps one
or two others. These were all Irish
men who were famous in the British
Parliament. Bat there are a score or
more of others, all men of eloquence
and power, of whom the American
reader knows but little, or never so
much as heard of. There was even
one Irish preacher in the last century
who was probably a full rival in mov
ing, persuasive, magnetic eloquence
of the great George Whitefield. We
are reminded of this by the great
reputation another Irishman has just
achieved. We refer to Sir Charles
Russell, whose speech of days
in the Parnell-TSme case has
placed him among the foremost of
great orators and has made his
name immortal. He has shown that
in oratory Ireland still breeds great
men, as Mr. Parnell Iras shown that
Ireland can produce a great, wise,
prudent statesman. The New York
World says:
"The sensation produced in London by
Sir Charles Russell's epcoch in the Parnell
case -is-o pronounced that.it la widely
classed with Burke s arraignment or War
ren Hastings 101 years ago. It promises to
be regarded as the most notable effort at
the English Bar since Burke's time, and
sustains the high character of Irish elo
quence. If Sir Charles is fortunate enough
fifty years hence to have a Macaulay, as
Burke did, his fame for all time will be as
sured. ROBTH CABOLIRA NOTES.
We do not see the Prohibitionist,
young Mr. Barkhead's paper. In the
Winston Sentinel of the 11th, we
learn that Mr. Burkhead says he has
been misunderstood and misrepre
sented. He has not spoken harshly
of North Carolina editors. He says:
"Ha . tried to show that journalism in
North Carolina is not a money making
scheme, but no word was uttered that re
flected upon the self sacrifice, the patriot
ism and devotion to duty that character
izes the North Carolina editor."
He made no reflections upon the
Stab. We give ' him willingly the
benefit of a disclaimer.
The young lady who is now edi
ting the Oxford Orphan1 Iriend, is
doing some bright, impressive work.
Some of her recent editorials show
that she is a woman of cultivation
of opinions, of independence. ;She
writes with a practiced pen. Oxford
has long needed a paper with brains
in it. Since Capt. Biggs died the
journalism of Granville has not been
such as the people of - that historic
county have a right to'dem and.
SHORT STOPS.
Germany is evidently not disposed
to regard with favor the sending of
Mr. Bates as one of the Samoan
Commissioners. The tone of the
press is hostile to the selection and
it need not surprise any, one if the
purposes of the Commission should
come to naught. Beginning in pre
judice its deliberations will scarcely
end satisfactorily. The U. S. Gov
ernment should send a Commission
that will command the respect and
good feeling of the German Govern
ment. The Stab days ago foretold the
election of Mr. Bright, son of the
great orator just dead. The part of
Birmingham in which the election is
held i a strong Tory hold. There
young Bright was sure to receive the,
full strength of his party, because,
the hearts of the electors were still
tender from the great loss they had.
sustained in thedemise of the illus-i
trious leader and statesman. They!
would be sure to vote for the son.
So he is returned by a large majority,
receiving more than two to one of
the entire vote.

Star Correspondence.
Oxford, N. C, April 13. Your
correspondent while here had the.
pleasure of visiting the Orphan Asy
lum, and through the kind courtesy
of the talented editor of the Orphan's
Friend, Miss Mamie L. Hatchett, was
shown through its. different depart
ments, and what struck us most for
cibly was the industrial department.
Thev are manufacturing brooms from
broom corn grown on the grounds,
which are equal to ana more suDstan
tial than those of Northern importa
tion, and the agent, Miss Josie Batch
elor,is very successful in making sales.
The economical feature of the shoe
department is, the shoes for the en
tire institution are cut out and made
by the larger boys, and is certainly a
very great saving as well as teaching
the boys a substantial trade. In the
printing department they handle the
typo very deftly and becoming to be
experts. Dr. Dixon is trying to make
the institution as near self-sustaining
as possible by making the farm pro
duce all necessary supplies. The chil
dren are all bright, sprightly and hap
py little creatures, and appear to be
contented and enjoy life for all it is
worth. Would like to particularize
but time and space forbid. J.
COKJZENT COMMENT.
It is idle to disguise the fact
that our Southern Fairs are rather
meagre entertainments when shorn of
all extraneous and adventitious aids
and limited rigidly to the display of
local industry. Our industrial scheme
is sadly lacking in diversity. Our in
dustrial philosophy is too narrow.
And it has come to pass that South
ern Fairs depend on their financial
success almost wholly npon the na
ture and extent of the outside attrac
tions that can be secured. People
simply will not gather in vast crowds
to gaze upon mammoth equashes and
over-fed hogs and home-made pick
les. To draw these crowds it is nec
oesary to have races, balloon ascen
sions, base ball, merry go round and
such inconsequent frivolities. Peo
ple want to be amused. They crave
sensation. They thirst for novelty.
You may offer them a strictly moral
and uplifting show, but they wont
go to it. The show may be upheld
by the consciousness of its own vir
tue, but it will eventually impoverish
its stockholders. -Montgomery Ala.
Dispatch, Dem,
The New York Sun is the
only avowed organ of the spoilsmen
of both parties in the city of New
York. It is not a Democratic organ
for it has been openly opposed to the
success Qf the Democrafio party for'
a number of years, and it is not a
Republican organ, for the Republi
can party commands it services only
on such occasions as the party posi
tion suits the Sun's private aims. It
did its best to elect Mr. Harrison in
order to defeat Mr. Cleveland, and it
worked for the defeat of Mr. Warner
Miller in order to elect Gov. Hill.
But for the spoilsmen in each party
or in both, Jor the men who make a
private business ot politics and have
no motive but the greed of office and
of publio money, the Sun is always
the superserviceable organ. T.

The Pharisee and the vulture
birds of prey never soften into a
moment of sportive pleasure. The
Spitz dog, sometimes seen on our
streets, seems the saint of his tribe,
so pure, white and long is his robe
of spotless fur. But a touch, of
friendliness, even . from a toddling
babe is repaid by an instant snarl
and snap. And his saliva has in it a
dangerous element of. rabies. The
huge mastiff in dingy color, with
head of Jove, yet ready to, romp in
ungainly frolic with every school
boy," will lay at the feet of the lost
child and die in its .defense. He
licks the bruise of his young master,
and there is healing in the tongue

A protection organ in Vermont,
either ignorantly or wilfully, denies
the statement in the World that the
starved-out strikers in Fall River
went back to "producing fifty per
cent, mora cloth than the Engli&h
workmen at no better pay."
The protection organ will hard
ly queetion the authority of James
G. Blajne on a question of protec
tion. When Secretary of State in
1881, Mr. Blaine made a report on
the cotton industry, in which he
said:
"The hours of labor in the Lan
cashire mills are fifty-six, in the
Massachusetts mills 6ixty per week.
Undoubtedly the inequalities in the
wages of English and American op
eratives are more than equalized- ty
the greater efficiency of the latter
and their longer hours of labor.
Each American operative
works up as much raw material as
two British operatives, and turns out
nearly $1.50 of manufacturers to the
British operative's $1 worth."
And the American millionaire cotton-mill
owners, protected by a prac
tically prohibitory tariff on cotton
oloth, refuse even to hear the griev
ances of their operatives; after hav

ties for "four years more."

I am satisfied that Cancer la hereditary In my fam
ily. My father died of it, a sister of my motker died
of it, and my own Bister died of it. My feelings
may be imagined, then, when the horrible disease
made its appearance on my aide. It was a malignant
Cancer, eating inwardly in snch a way that it could
not be cnt out. Numerous remedies were msed for
it. but the Cancer grew steadily worse, until it seem
ed that I was doomed to follow the others of the
family. I took Swift's Specific, which, from the first
day, forced oat the poison, and continued Its use
until I had taken several bottles, when I found my
self well. I know that S. S. S. cored me.
