ROMANCE OF THE ROMANOEFS.

The house of Somanof, which has
filled SO large Il place in European his
tory, narrowly escaped extinction in
the very year of its rise, owing its
safety entirely to one of the very peas
ants whom it has so often prosecuted.
After the expulsion from Moscow, in
1912, of the Polish usurpcr, Vadislaw,
it became necessary to elect a new czar,
the line of Tsuric having ended with
Foodor Ivanovitch, the son OF Ivan
the Terrible. The choice fell upon
Russian noble named Michael Foodo-
rovitch Romanoff, who was then at
Yoroslay, in North Russia, with few
attendants. The Polish king hearing
of this, sent band of men to surprise
him. On their way thither they halted
at the cottage of a peasant named Ivan
Susanin, giving themselves out as
foreign soldiers on their way to take
service with the new czar. But, as one
Of them dismountcd he happened to
to stumble, and in his rage muttercd
a Polish oath, which Susanin's quick
ear overheard. The peasant instantly
OWNED their purpose, but could find

mercenary about him as any other man
of business. He cannot have tho elal,-
crate politencss of tho man of leisure,
aud hence is misunderstood. The lady
from whom he hllrries away with u
half-framed apology, to shake hands
with Il rough looking man, pronosinces
him a bear. Instinct toaches tho local
that tho rough man has an item, and
the lady would excuse his impoliteness
did she know that tho sterling romance
OF tho next day came from tho rough
individual who supplanted her In the
local's attentions. The aristOcrat thinks
the local a fool when he turns from
him to shake hands with u l.,borcr
the poor man that ho 'is q swell when
hc meets him arm in, arm with tho
rich man. On every hand he is liable
to bc misunderstood his motives are
questioned, himself accused. hut he
has his friends TINT rightly understand
him, who know that a local editor Ia
often a man with a warm heart. Army
association, without ,corrupting, made
some Of our staid and retired mon jolly.
So this front line contact with tho
world, without lcssening his manhood,
gives tho local editors a careless, worldly

no better way of battling 1t than to
offer himself as their guide, while he
secretly dispatched one Of his sons to
warn the czar of the meditated treach-
cry. Then guiding the traitors into
gloomy dcfile, of which he alone knew
the outlet, he boldly avowed what no
had done, and fell beneath their sWorts,
defying them to the last. This heroic
selfsacrifice was not made in vain.
The timely warning enabled the cxar
to overtake and destroy his intended
assassins, aud Susanin's devotion was
rewarded with the permanent exemp-
ton of his family from taxation, and
the erection Of q statue to his memory.
This statue is still to be seen in his
native town of Kostroma, which by
u singular coincidence, was also the
birthplace of the peasant Oisip Komts-
aroff, who saved the present cxar from
assassination in April, 1866. The story
of Susanin has furnished material for
one Of the most popular of Russian
operas, oLifc for the r.''-Ne,c York
Times

YE LOCAL.

! At a printers festival held not long
since in Columbus, Ohio, Mr.. w. III.
Buslcy, of the State Journal, In re.
spontling to the toast of the "IAocal
Reporter made II very characteristic
speech. 1t is so much to the point that
we quote some extracts
Some years ago, when il was pro-
posed that l become local editor,
asked friend, an old newspaper man,
tho simple question, What arc the
duties of a local editor? IIc answered
bluntly, 1 cannot tell you. A local
editor Is always badly scattered. He
is tho bushWhacl1cr OF a newspaper cs-
tablishmcnt. ILo works on tho high
pressure principle, always ready to
blow up or bc blowcd up, but his posi-
ton is not tlcfinablc; he docs Il little
of everything. The question was re-
pcated in earnest, but always came tho
same answer. 1 thought tho man un-
kind, and was SO unfavorably impressed
with tho duties of local editor, that l
lodged them and commenced my
newspaper career in another depart
mcnt. Since that time 1 have been
compcllcd to admit that the man was
right. Experience has taught me that
tho duties of n local reporter arc learned
and not nt,.ght. His department is in
truth the skirmish line of the estab-
lishment. It is his duty to meet face
to face with the world about him. His
battles are on the guerrilla plan, but
must be fought with broken lines, and
so skilfully managed as never to bring
into action tho heavy forces OF the re-
serve. A reporter OF local events be-
comes necessarily a peculiar person.
He seems to the world very mercc-
nary individual. He goes to sec man
who has broken leg, not to sympa-
thize, but to question him. He runs to
a fire, not 10 give assistance, but to get
particulars. He wishes no man harm,
but when harm bcialls he calls 1T good
luck he has an item on the brain. IT
is his business to ask questions, his
duty to answer none. A burglary"
with him is simple business; something
horrible, a sensation. His receiving
capacity is very great. In one hour
he will have been in dark hell-hole
to look upon murder, Will have

THE MAIN FACT.

2 Tho guiding object of tho Repabli-
cans all through tho war OF ch0rEes
aud counter.charges of fraud growing
out of the last presidential election is
to divert the public attention from
proved and known facts. They are
weary or the charge of fraud against
,them--weary of being told that they
stolc tho, presidency-that they bribed
canvassing boards and returning boards
into making falsc reports aud giving
false certificates they Imposed
on tho country a president ana vice
president who were not elected, ana
dcbarrcd from these high offices men
who were elected. It Is no wonder
that they arc tired of this. They have
reason to bc-the same reason that any
criminal has for disliking to hear Of
his crime. But their effort to divert
attention from their own conduct by
charging Mr.. Tilden with attempting
unsuccessfully the same crime which
they actually committed Is utterly
indefensible. 1t Is the act of a wrong
doer who tries to escape by dcfamtug
his victim. Tho Republican press
charges that Mr.. Tilden and his agents
attempted to bribe the South Carolina
canvassers, the Florida canvassers, the
Louisiana returning board, and one Of
tho Oregon electors. II the charge
were true, it would not justify the Re-
publicans in actually bribing these
boartls--a fact which is conclusively
proved by tho appointment OF the
members of all OF them to federal
offices. But it is not true. After the
November election in 1876, 1t was found
that the Democrats needed only one
of the twenty-five disputed electoral
votes, while the Republicans needed
all OF them. 1t is incOncciVable that
the Democrats should fail, in all these
alleged twenty-five attempts at bribery,
where the material was so Venal. 1t is
impossible that all the members of the
several returning boards should make
false returns of the votes in favor of
the Republican electors, out of pure
sense of duty and without tho offer Of
reward, while the Democrats were
Offering them the heaps of money they
are charged with Offering them to make
true returns. ....- l.a. .stf.-.
The great fact, undenied and unde-
niable, to be kept in view through the
war of charges and counter-charges Is
this: That none of the returning boards
did decide in favor of Mr.. Tilden that
all of them did decide in favor of Mr..
Hayes and of them, together with
nearly all those Republicans suspected
of instigating them to their fraudulent
work, were appointed to federal offices
II there were no other fact In the case
proved but this, it would be sufficient
to establish the charge OF conspiracy
in the minds of any twelve Intelligent
ljurors.-iS. Louis Republican.
