STREET KUNOR.

I, Is bad enough for regular gossipers to
pick up runor and repeat it as true. But for
a clergyman 10 be peddling on, news from
his pulpit on mere rumor is not exactly what
religious Sunday services are designed for.
Ga Sunday last the Rev. Or. Hall, of a very
popular Presbyterian church in New York,
after iiaishiag his sermon stepped forward
with a orumpled piece of paper in his hand,
ami announced that be had just heard Of the
death OF Gov. Dix by apopie1y. And there
uron everybody inferred that the crampled
piece OF paper was telegram, and SO, after
church, ii vas spread upon the wings of the
wind that Dr.. Hall had read telegram
from The pulpit announcing the death of
Coz. DIX. Before dismissing the congrega-
zion. prayers were offered for the family and
the hishe-t kind of Sunday excitement. was
gotten up. On chasing the thing down all
there was of il was tina: one of DIR. Halls
congregation had heard the rumor from
DIR. Prime. and 80 this gcssiper wrote down
or card that Governor Dix was dead and
rent i; mp 10 Rev. DIR. Hall in the pulpit.
The b s'er way is to lie; the newspapers tell
news. The press is far more reliable on
news :enis than Is the pulpit.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The Oaio Constitutional Convention as
semhled n the Capital of that State last
Thursday. The present Constitution was
framed in 1882, and it provides that, every
twenty years, the question as TO whether a
new Constitutional Convention shall be
bel, siall he submitted 20 the people. Las,
fail iha vote was taken on this question, re-
sGlii5z in a very decided majority in its IA
vn-. Tie Convention is composed of lOo
menaers. G; whom 81 are classed as Kepub-
Ecana, IS a. Democrats, and as not spec
i.i'y .elo' ging 70 either political party. IL
iaciu1.s =-iIc OF the ables; men OF the State.
Tn Convention mas a great deal OF work be-
for it il !. undertakes the business OF re-
fo-min. the detects Of the Ohio Constitution,
and aisp;;D. it to the enlarged needs of the
preseB; generation.
The DlDcorais seem 10 be very anxious to
secufe the control of the Convention, and are
calling on the Independents TO unite with
them in the election offs President. The Re
publicaDs, for the sake of the State and the
Constitution which is TO be formed should
control the action of the Convention.
Tie was some talk about Constitutional
Convention in Kansas, last year, but the
people after thinking it over, concluded they
could live happily under the present form
Of Stale Government. Nebraska had an un-
fortunate experience with her new constitu-
ton. After working il up, as the Convention
thonghi, to proper degree OF excellence, the
sovereign people by emphatic voice rejected
il. We believe Tie citizens OF Kansas are
rot extremely anxious for a revision of the
Constitution, but if i: wouldn't be too much
Of an Inconvenience TO the next Legislature
they would ike TO have this fair State OF
ours divided into three Congressional Dis
tricts.

COW JOHN q. HABERLElA.

At four o'clock yesterday afternoon Coi.
John NJ. Haber,ein, editor Of the kansas
Eo.s Pres, brea,hed his last. The sickness
proceeding his death was of four weeks du'
ration. At one time friends were confident
of his recovery, and rejoiced to see him able
to walk around. Las. Saturday he was pros
trated by a parslytic stroke, and while con-
sc;on. Of the presence of relatives and friends
up 20 the time OF his death, never spoke al
ter the prostration.
Col. Haberlein WAS born in Bavaria, Ger.
many, September 10th, 1920, and came 70
this country in 1855, irs; se;tling in Mis-
souri, Afterwards removing TO Illinois. de
left Illinois in 1859, settled in Lawrence,
and commenced the publication Of the Lae-'
yeqce Free Pres. Eight months afterwards
he came 10 i.saYenwor;h at the solicitation o
his friends and Immediately resumed the
publication Of his paper calling it the hd"'
SIS FIRE. Prcss. Since that time it has beer
published daily, in the German language
and gave the editor who did so much o.
good work FOR It, en- honored name in social
and p5Iitic,l circles
IL can he saiI OF the late Col. Haberleinr
that ha WIS an honest editor. The insinu'
at;ng middle man OF corrup. combinations
annroachfd him more than once, but the
bribes we're spurneI and the editor OF the
r. pes expressed his views Of men, meas,
ur.s and corporations, fearless!y, frankly and
w,t!r rlqrEci ability. All his political con-
yic.irrs were on the side of freedom and
eqlali,v. aui in his death, the real workers
lo=e an Influential friend. His absence
froal tie ranks Of Kansas journalism will be
missed ~ all The fraternity Of the pencil,
but there is consolation in knowing that he
