There Is probably but one editcrin the
United States who published the account
Of the defeat Of the first Napoleon al
Waterloo, in 1915, more than bali CEN
fury ago, and has lived TO publish the
account also of the battle Of Sedan and
the defeat and surrender Of Louis Napo-
leon--a battle which bids fair to lead to
as important results as the historic en-
gagemeut at Waterloo. Such is the case,
however, with Mr.. James Saxton, Of the
Canton (0hio) Repository. He began
his paper in 1918, and has
worked steadily in his Office for fifty-seven
years. The Repository, the other day,
contained the accounts of the two battles
in parallel columns, that Of Waterloo
taken from the files Of the paper ffty.fve
years ago. Mr.. Saxton is reported as
saying that when he has edited the paper
for sixty years, he intends to stop and
travel for awhile.
