hunter saw that they meaEt business,

his gun, caught hold of the limb of a
small oak tree, and swung his legs up
just in time to save his boots. As he
expected, one of them was not long. in
attempting to securea closer aequaint-

Ithaca, n. Y. During the rebellion,
DR.. White visited England, and de-
voted his time to lecturing on the
affairs of the United States. He de-
livered numerous addresses to large
audiences in London and other
cities in England, and published a
pamphlet on the war, which has a
large circulation. On his return to
this country,he served for two terms
in the senate of New York. He is
also a contributor to the leading
periodicals.
Benjamin F. Wade, another OF
the San Domingo commissioners,
was born in Feeding Hills parish,
Mass, on Octs %, 1900. He receiv-
ed limited education, and remov-
ing to Ohio in 1921, devoted him
self to agricultural pursuits and
teaching school. He was admitted
to the bar in 1928, and held in sue
cession the Offices of justice of the
peace, prosecuting attorney, state
senator and president judge of a
circuit. He was elected senator
from Ohio in 1851, and filled that
position by reelection until March
4, 1869. During the rebellion he was
chairman of the committee on the
conduct of the war, and was presi-
dent pro tempore of the senate
during the fortieth congress. His
father was soldier of the revolu-
tion.

CAuSE OE HARD TINES.

The Tribune notes the cry
of sshard times,'' and truthfully at
tributes the cause, primarily, to the
sact that too large a share of our peo
pie are trying to live by something
else than productive industry. 9th
er influences contribute, it says, but
this is far more potent than the
whole of them. We are fast becom.
ing nation ofschemers to live with
out work. Our boys are not learn
ing trades, our farmers sons are
crowding into cities, looking fol
clerkships and petty offices; hardly
one American girl in each hundred
will do housework for wages, how
ever urgent her need, SO we are send
ing to Europe for workmen and buy
ing of her artisans millions worth
of products that we ought to make
for ourselves. There can be no
doubt that our boys and girls must
be taught to love labor by qualify
ING themselves to do it efficiently
if we would better matters in the flu
ture at all.

The END NEAR.

The capitulation of Paris is with
out any doubt very near. Prussian
successes are reported on all hands.
In spite of French reports to the
contrary, the German armies, since
the siege of Paris began, have been
steadily doing their work. What
was declared impossible they have
actually done-sent their shot and
shell into the city, for which there is
absolutely no hope. Meanwhile
the efforts of the French, great as
they have been, have only made en-
tirely manifest their inferiority,
morally, physically, ane in every
other respect, in which the crisis
has tested them, to the Germans.
The terrible struggle is nearing its
legitimate conclusion. Peace may
not follow the fall of Paris, but it is
more likely now than though the
city had fallen a month ago.

MINORITY REPRESENTATION.

The State of Illinois has in heI
new Constitution provided for trying
the experiment of giving the minor.
ity an equitable representation in the
Legislature by means of cumulative
voting. 1t is an effort to ameliorate
the working of elective government
by which the minority is excluded,
and is hardley recognized as having
rights that the majority is bound to
respect; a system which naturally
tends to make the minority dis,
affected toward the government
We suppose there is a general desire
on the part of Republicans that this
plan shall work well. 1t is an ex
pertinent, and its good working re.
quires considerable intelligence in
the voter, or very strict management
on the part of the party leaders
Since the experiment is to be tried
under such favorable circumstances
in a great State, we can afford to
await the trial. Should it work
well in Illinois it will undoubtedly
be adopted in Ohio.

GRAVE RoBBING.

Iowa City, Iowa, is laboring under
high degree of excitement, grow
ing out of recent grave robbing
case, in which the Faculty Of the
medical department of the State
University are involved. The grave
violated was that of a venerable and
venerated lady of that city. The
body was taken to the dissecting
room of the college and publicly dis
sected, in the presence of the stu
dents of both sexes. The Grand
Jury took up the case, but when they
sent for the witnesses it was found
that they had been spirited away
and could not be found. So indig-
nant were the people that a threat
to destroy the building was only
prevented from being carried into
