WILL the Express defend laat night's action of the police board?

Tint Exprew' cry for a reduction of the police force is weak. Will it "pot up or shut up?" The Homing Whine has an idea that the police force ia too large, bat ryn suggest no plan by which it can be reduced.

The Express says after publishing a garbled parallel that Tub News "means well." The Nkws regrets that it can not say as much for the Express, which has deliberately misrepresented the intent of one of The News' editorials.

The Express is howling for a reduction of the police force. Will the Express redistrict the city, showing the territory patrolled by the force after ten men are removed? The Express says it ought to be done. Will itshow how it can be aecora plishod?

THERE is prospect of a serious deficit in the treasury in consequence of this year's appropriations and the passage of the McKinley bill, if the figures given nml statements made are correct. The appropriations will probably amount to $+50,000,000, unless there is some vigorous pruning. This amonnt does not include appropriations for coast defenses or steamship subsidies. Friends of the McKinley bill claim for it a reduction of revenues to the amount of about $70,000,000. The estimated revenues are in the neighborhood of $150,000,000. From present indication the surplus during the next fiscal year will be reduced by the expenditure amounting to more than the receipts.

The number of patrolmen cannot well be reduced. Some of the officers have beats which are entirely too large, and a reduction in the number of men means increased territory. There are only two officers on the South Side during the day. The territory of one extends from the river east to Seventh anil from Main south to the limits. The other officcr patrols the remaining territory. Some of tho night districts are large. One officer's beat extends from the rtver east to Fifth and from Chestnut street north to tho limits, taking in Sibleytown atul Swaffordsville. One member of the police board inquired if the officer "had a horso and buggy to patrol his district." The police board cousidera it impossible to reduce the foree and from information The New# has at hand there is but one conclusion, leu men cannot be discharged without seriously crippling the work of the depa

The police I* WIN I last night ordered saloons to keep their front doors shut on Sunday, blinds drawn down, pool and billiard playing stopped and beer kegs and loafers kept off the sidewalks. Nothing was said about making arrests for selling liquor on Sunday or after 11 o'clock. Tho board considered the saloon question but lacked the backbone to order the law enforced. The Shutting" of front doore does not mean that they shall be "locked." The saloons will therefore be privileged as much as heretofore, with the exception of pool and billiard playing. The board gave evidence of deplorable weakness. What, will the public think of such a commission, of a police board sanctioning violation of the law The board has aappreneit gambling, which te to UtelrJemUt, but winking at the violation of the law by saloons is not in coesouance with the public demand upon wUteh the members were elected. The old police board a stigma upon the !emacrotfr council. The new police board an improvement, but last night's action lowers their standard to a point nearly on a par with the pas* regime, The day was carried on May JiUh. by ctUxens who demanded decency in the management of city affairs. Granting freedom to the saloons, in violation of law, is against the public sense of propriety. i(i(iii(ii-i

The Express this morning publishes a parallel of two editorials from The News. The morning ooniemponu-y wilfully misrepresents The News in the alleged parallel. l-ast week an editorial appeared in this paper on the subject of Sunday observance. The editorial dealt with the open Sunday saloon and the open busitum hoiwe, and advocated the closing of all of Utom. The saloonkeepers boeeted that In the event their places were closed on Sunday, they would stop street cars and evcty other class of work on Sunday. Tint News does not, believe In each extrvmt*. and said that "tmkhi*Me Sunday observance Is demanded." Had the Express been reasonable snd not unfair, it would havs given The News editorial entire without garbling it in such manner as to lead to incon** inlirencce. The News said

4*open

front

doors exert a demoraiixing influence on the public good." The saloons and bosioen honees wwf# meant The Express

failed to republish the sentence from THE NEWS which wad "While the open saloon is offensive on Sunday the open mercantile establishment falls into the same catagory."

THE NEWS has not in any manner, directly or by insinuation, advocated the closing of saloon front doors, and permitting the back doom to remain open. The Express charges that THE NEWS hss changed position. This paper has ad vocated the 11 o'clock and Sunday closing liquor law. It has gone farther and advocated the closing of business houses on Sunday. Will the Express do as much? Some time ago the Express kept standing for a few days at the head of its editorial columns the sentence: "Enforce the law." Does the Kxprcsas till stand on this platform? Will it join THE NEWS in its fight for the enforcement of the law. The council is now Republican, will the party organ use its influents towards enforcing the law? Or does it prefer to remain silent as it lias since the complete back-down when it lowered its colors, "Enforce the law."

HERE AND THERE.

When the Polys arrived in Indianapolis last Saturday they were met by the Butler University team and escorted to the Woman's Christian Temperance lunch room for refreshments. The hosts were cordial and treated the boys with every courtesy, but it was observed that an unmistakeable and undefinable longing— an appearance of want unsatisfied—crept over the Polytechnic faces at the lunch room and this peculiar condition followed them to the ball grounds and they were swiped. The Polys undoubtedly lacked that energy which would have been stimulated into being by a bottleorso of Budweiser or even ginger ale. At all events they have a chance to get even and undoubtedly will grasp it. When the Butler boys come here the Polys will undoubtedly take them to the Terre Haute house, give them a delicate lunch washed down with a sufficiency Mumm's Dry and of course will then have the Butler Butler's at their mercy and will undoubtedly tear the ground "open with them. See?

It was quite an unusdal case that came up in the mayor's office yesterday afternoon. A very old woman with her face furrowed all over with wrinkles was there to prosecute her son, John Joyce, of the North End, because ha persisted in mistreating her and in spending most of his time and all of his money in the saloons. The old lady was very vindictive in the denouncement of her son and most emphatically declared that if he was permitted to remain in the city she would not go near her home lest lie come there in the night and kill her. John promised to leave town instantly and was released. As he started out of the offiee he bade his mother good-bye. She didn't say goodbye, but instead: "You get out of town and I hope I shall never lay eyes on you again."

Thus they parted. It seemed strange and unnatural to hear a mother speak in that manner to her own boy, but he deserved nothing better. He has been the terror of her existence for years.

Apiece of history, up to this time unwritten, gives the unhappy experience of three Polytechnic students in Indianapolis last Saturday night In full evening dress, with each, a boutinerre of rare exotics high up on the left lappel of each coat, under an umbrella (one umbrella) they drilled out to the Female Seminary, through the driving rain, expecting to pass the evening most delectibly in the company of three charm ing young lady friends. They arrived there, were admitted and conducted to a severe looking and most uncomfortable little reception room, where they were told to make themselves "comfortable." In the course of fifteen minutes in marched the three young ladies in a veiy subdued and most demure manner and closing up the rear was their Duenna, in the person of the matron, who informed the Poly's, they would be permitted to converse with the young ladies just fifteen minutes in her presence. Now it is unnecessary to «ay that no billing and cooing went no honeyed expressions, no rehearsal of liOve's young dream-—nothing of the anticipated sweetness was distinctly observable tlnat lonely quarter of an hour. Instead some Poly dropped the remark that "it was raining real hard," and crossed his legs. Then another Poly ventured to say that he "thought Indianapolis was a real nice 4own, and commenced to twiddle his thumbs. Thereupon one sweet girl kind o* giggled and asked if there was any one down in "Terry llnt" who knew how to plav ball. Then another dear little thing in* sky blue remarked (casually, of course,)"that it was a dreadful night for calling," and then—well, then the old lady gracefully but very firmly said time was up, and wafted the three Polys out into the tempest

McKtnkj't Grt»cloo« Act.

"I yield the gentleman from Pennsylvania fifteen minutes of my time.™ It was one of the most dramatic scenes ever enacted in tho Ilouso of Representatives. The sick, feeble and failing gentleman from Pennsylvania, respected and honored by all men of both parties, Bon. Sam J. Randall, was •siting fifteen minutes' extension of his time, in order that he might deliver the concluding portion of his tariff speech, which was against the policy of his party. Mr. Mills, of Texas, the leader of his party, htrried down tho aisle and shouted, "1 object," and that one objection prevented the "unanimousconsent" which was asked by Mr. Randall. The ox-speaker did not tarn his head to look at the objector, nor appeal for consideration at his hands but quietly sank into his seat, humiliated, hot uncomplaining. The next speaker on the list for that dsy was Bon. William McKinley, of Ohio. He immediately arose* and •aid In a dear ringing votes: "Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania, fifteen minutes of my time." Immediately there broke forth ftslnrm of applause from all over the Boose, both on tho floor Mid in the galleries. It was ono of the most gracious deeds of McKinley* life. Mr. Sandall proceeded with his speech and finished it sftedr most eloquently expressing his appreciation of the courtesy of the young gentiemaa from Ohio. &1XI.

if [BP®05*1 Correspondence,! ~yJ" Washikqton, May 15.—Ia there such a thing as newspaper ethics? This is a question which a series of events have brought to the front in Washington. First, a number of the ancient and proper senators thought the newspaper men had no right to send out accounts of the proceedings of the senate in executive session, and they had an investigation which cost a good deal of money and resulted in a fine old farce. Then there came up the Cleveland-Dana episode in New York, which all the newspaper men and public men of Washington took the keenest sort of interest in. Finally, the press gallery committee, composed of newspaper men and elected by newspapermen, concluded to discipline a young correspondent who had made the mistake of sending out a brutal dispatch about the habits of a distinguished statesman. Perhaps nothing would have been thought or said of this incident but for the peculiar circumstances surrounding it The scene was laid at the funeral of Senator Beck in the senate chamber.

According to the dispatch the statesman in question, who was a member of the funeral committee on the part of the house, staggered into the chamber, fell into a seat, sat there in a dazed condition, staggered out of the chamber when the ceremonies were concluded, fell in passing down the steps, and fell again at the railway station in attempting to board the train. This would have been brutal even* if true, but it was false. While the committee of newspaper men in charge of the press gallery do not feel called upon to pass judgment on the truth or falsity of news sent out by gentlemen who enjoy the privileges of the gallery, nor to act as press censors in any sort of way, they have felt it their duty to inform' the public that the corps of correspondents, of whom they are the official representatives, do not indorse newepaper invasion of private life.

Here we have the best of answers to the question and conclusive proof that there is such a thing as newspaper ethics. Journalism is a distinct profession, as is the profession of law or medicine. It ought to have its unwritten code of morals and practice. Its members are brought into intimate relationship with individuals daily in connection with important matters, and often with matters of delicacy as affecting reputation and peace of mind. The relationship which a lawyer bears to his client, or a doctor to his patient, is no more intimate or important than that which a journalist bears to the man whom he interviews or of whom he writes. If there are codes of ethics for the lawyer and doctor, there should be similar codes for the journalist. The journalist should know the morals of his profession, the amenities of his business, should always feel his responsibility and appreciate the dignity of his position in the social fabric. There is such a code in journalism, an unwritten code as all laws of professional ethics must necessarily be, but as yet it is indefinite and not well enough understood.

Here in Washington, however, where journalism is at its highest, state of development in America, and that means in the world, I am happy to say that the ethics of the profession, this unwritten law, is constantly becoming better understood, and year after year is better respected. It is not enough that a Washington journalist must be a gentleman, as journalists everywhere should be—he must have a sense of honor that is keen and vigilant, not simply as a matter of policy, but of temperament and training. The days of bushwhacking journalism, of "fake" journalism, of extreme partisan and personal journalism, and above all of mendacious journalism, are at an end in tho Capital City. And being at an end here means simply that they are rapidly coming to an end the country over, for Washington journalism is a reflex of the journalism of the nation. It draws its inspiration and its men from the provinces, and needs, moreover, constant renewal of the energy that comes from the rural press and the men that press has graduated into the wider field.

Journalism as seen at Washington has its ethics, but I do not feel competent to tell what that code of ethics is. Probably no two working newspaper men would describe it alike. But there are certain cardinal features of it known to us all, and of these we may speak. One of these was violated by the young man who is just now feeling tho discipline of his fellows. The private lives of men and*- women are tabooed subjects in the newspaper practice of the capital If this were not so, and we all felt ourselves licensed sis free lances, thousands of hearts would ache. Probably there is no place in tho country where the private lives of well known parsons offer such chiding marks for criticism and exposition as here. lean count at a moment's notice at least a score of members of congress who live in a certain sense double lives—men who have both wives and mistresses.

If we were to tell what we know and make it a business to find out the things which we now only suspect, plenty of gray heads now held high would be humbled. Even women of the fairest fame would suffer. Luckily theee are not legitimate subjects of newspaper writing. The press is constantly growing more just and more generous. It knows how to shut its eyes as well as to keep theza open. I doubt if in our &oe another public man meet the fate of poor Riddleberger. That senator was anything but a drunkard. He was simply a drinking man who occasionally lost his head. When intoxicated bo was ugly and willful Hnaeaioadnwawsttteoongww today who have the same fault, but the preas deals forbearingly with them.

All conversations not understood from the circumstances or by express agreement to be for type are private. It is in applying this rule that one of the chief sources of trouble arises. The newspaper man is often puzzled to know what was intended for publication and what was not That was the bone of contention in the Cleveland article in New York city. It is often the bone of contention in less celebrated cases. I am proud to say for the correspondents of Washington that the public men here find little cause of complaint in this regard. The political journalist, as a rule, not only respects confidence and is intrinsically honorable, but he exercises fine discretion in winnowing the proper and printable from the private.

Eavesdropping is also tabooed. The self respecting journalist of these times will not hide himself away in closets, or glue his ear to keyholes. Rare stories are told of the manner in which big news has been obtained by these means, but most of these tales are of the old days. The good senators thought the Washington correspondents must have some such means of securing executive session secrets, but they were egregiously mistaken. The modern journalist will not eavesdrop, but he will deceive. He will not open another man's letter, but he will play a trick upon the other man if the man does not watch out.

TERRE HAUTE DAILY NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 28.1890. JOURNALISTIC ETHICS.

elsewhere, must keep confidences. This is one of the unwritten laws which is well understood and almost universally respected. Public men are not afraid to trust the writers. For instance, I called one recent evening on the speaker of the house. Conversation arose incidentally about some public men and measures, and the speaker talked very frankly, as is MB wont He criticised men of his own party in his characteristic savage fashion and without reserve. He made no request that this conversation be considered a private ono—he instinctively knew that it was private and would not be printed or repeated. I could have created a mild isort of sensation by reporting what the speaker said, but of course I did not This brings us to another phase of modern newspaper ethics. A man must know that he is being interviewed for publication. The gentlemap of tho modern press does not get his interviews clandestinely.

This matter of newspaper ethics is sometimes very intricate and difficult to understand. The ffublic may not be able to understand why a journalist, who would condemn listening at tho key hole of a committee room door could hire an employe of the government printing offfce to steal a copy of the president's message for him, but I can understand that, though I am not going to try to explain it. I would not listen at a key hole, but I would bribe a printer to steal a message for me, providing the message was worth it and the printer did not come too high. Journalists have gone out of the business of stealing president's messages, but they are still eager for tariff bills. The public is already familiar with the manner in which the McKinley tariff bill found its way prematurely to the press.

A Pacificcoast correspondent borrowed the copy of a member of tho ways and mwria committee to write a paragraph from, and copied the whole bill with a force of six typewriters. That, in my my judgment, was fair journalism. So was the scheme set up by a couple of bright correspondents to get an adyance copy of the Mills tariff bill when the public mind was filled with curiosity concerning tliat measure. Th6y knew Mr. Milla had a copy of the bill from the printing office, and that therefore the bill was in type. Their plan was to telephone the foreman of the printing office about 5 o'clock in the afternoon by the Capitol telephone that Mr. Mills wanted a dozen more copies of the bill sent to his house at 8 o'clock that evening. When the messenger arrived at Mr. Mills' residence with the package of bills one of the conspirators was to be in hiding near the door. Ho was to have a small package in his hand. The conspirators thought that when the messenger rang the door bell and tho servant came and opened the door there would be a fine opportunity to do business. The man in waiting was to rush up just as the messenger left, ring the bell again, and when the servant came to the door the second time, no doubt with the package in her hand, the conspirator was to hold out his little package and exclaim: "I have left you the wrong package. This is the one that belongs to Mr. Mills," and grabbing the bundle from the servant's hands boat a hasty retreat, as if trying to overtake the wagon, which by this time would be rolling down the street In the package which the conspirator was to leave in exchange for the more precious one was to be some bills and reports, which Mr. Mills, even if he were in the house and looked them over, Would not be suspicious of, as, of course, he had not expected any copies of the tariff bill and would not be suspicious of trickery. The printing office would be satisfied that it had done its duty, and next morning two enterprising journals would contain the Mills tariff bill in full, telegraphed by their agile correspondents.

The scheme did not work, for the simple reason that the printing office could not print the bills, and hence could not deliver them into the hands of the ausnspecting servant girt It was a pretty plan, and I am sorry it did not work, for it was good journalism. The true journalist will not look in another man's desk for the biggest piece of news In the world, any more than a military commander will violate a flag of trace, but your good journalist will lead his enemy into ambush when be can.

SCROFULA.

One of the most dangerous and unpleasant evidences of the existence of hereditary scrofula is glandular swellings and painful ulcers which accompany it and render life a burden to the sufferer and to those about him. Sore eyes, scabs on the head, pimples on the face, salt rheum, and the like, are all caused by impure blood. There is but one way to banish these offensive symptoms, and that is by the use of tried and trusted remedies to strike at the root of the trouble. Dr. Cobb's Vegetable Compound, known to the world by Its famous corn-cob trademark, cleanses the skin by first cleansing the blood. It brings new life to the overworked and nervous victim, and, being purely vegetable, leaves no ill effects.
