The Editor.

The work OF an editor can only be apprec-
ated by those who have had the fortune to have
had some little experience in it. The editor of
London daily newspaper is held answera BILE
for every word in 4S, and sometimes 60, col
umns. The merest slip of the pen, an epithet
too much, wrong date, name misspelt, or
with wrong initial before it, a mistake as to
some obscure parsonage, only too glad to take
the opportunity for showing himself, the mis-
Interpretation of some passage perhaps incapa-
bic of interpretation the most trif1ng offence
to the personal or national susceptibility of
those who do not even profess to care for the
feelings of others, may prove, not only disa-
greeable but even costly mistakes; but they
are among the least of the mistakes to which
an editor is liable. AS it is impossible to say
what night may bring forth, and the most
important intelligence is apt to be the latest, it
Will often find him with none to share his re-
sponsibility, without advisers, and with col
leagues either pre-engaged on other matters or
no longer at hand The editor must be on the
spot till the paper is sent to press, and make
decisions on which not only the approval of the
British pnblic, but great events and even great
causes may hang All the most serious part of
his duties has to be discharged at the end of
long days work, a day of Interruptions and
conversations, of letter reading and letter writ
ing, when mind and body are not what they
were II hours ago, and when wearied nature is
putting in her gentle pleas. An editor cannot
husband his strength for the nights battle
with comparative repose in the solitude of a
study or the freshness of green fields. He must
see the world, converse with its foremost or
busiest actors, be open to information and on
guard against error All this ought to be
borne in mind by those who complain that
journalism is not infalliRly accurate, just and
agreeable Their complaints are like those of
the court lord who found fault with the disa-
greeable necessities of war

ARCHBISHOP PURCELL.
A Meeting OF Excited and Angry Credi-
tors.

CINCINNATI, Jan. SIN answer to a notice
in the newspapers signed ga Creditor" call
ing meeting of the creditors of Archbishop
Purcell at Hopkins Hall tonight, the APP
proaches to the hall were crowded with anx-
ious creditors, some of whom thought their
claims were to be Immediately paid. The
doorkeeper required everybody desiring adj
mittance to say he was creditor, and sign his
name and the amount of his claim to what ap-
peared to be a blank roll, but after about 40
had signed an Enquirer reporter got hold of
the paper and turning over the top discovered
that it was power of attorney authorizing
one Thomas F. Larkin to appear for the sign
ers in proceedings now pending in the Probate
Court for the appointment of cO-assignees to
act in conjunction with assignee Mannix. A
petition for this purpose was filed some time
ago, but as the law requires majority of the
the creditors in amount to secure the appoint
ment, and only $250,000 was represented when
the claims are So, 100000, no action was taken.
1t is believed the meeting tonight was called
and the course of the doorkeeper intended to
secure signatures of sufficient claims to secure
the appointment of q co-assignee. After the
discovery of the character of the paper being
signed, the doorkeeper abandoned his post and
the hall was Immediately crowded by an anx-
ious mass The doorkeeper, who gave his
name as John Smith, appeared on the plat
form and announced that as the hail was Lot
large enough for their accommodation the
meeting would be called elsewhere. The
crowd became very excited, and John Smith"
was fortunate in being able to make a sudden

Lord Derby -Anaorioan Competition.
Lord Derby, speaking at trade banquet at
Huddersfeld last night, said:
The United States might be our most formi-
dable rivals; but the Americans do not face us
openly. They fight entrenched behind a pr y
tective tariff, even with the help Of which
they have not wholly checked the importation
of English manufactures into America. Still
their competition is not to be lightly spoken of.

THE INDIAN COMMISSION.
Important Changes Asked for-Dissatis-
faction with Commissioner Hayt.

faction with Commissioner Hayt.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The missionary secre-
taries connected with the Board of Indian
Commissioners have determined to call uIon
the President and to make several re-
quests in behalf of the religious bodies that CO.
operate in the management of Indian affairs.
One of these requests is that the admi nistra-
ton return to the practice adopted when the
peace police was established twelve years ago
regarding the appointment of agents, all of
whom were appointed on the recommendation
of the several mission societies Another
request will be that hereafter agents shall APP
point their clerks and other employees. A prac-
tice, il is said, has lately grown up in the In
dian Office of saddling on every agent clerk,
who acts as sort of spy on the agent. 1t is
also asserted that some of these clerks are
men whose characters make them unfit for
their places. At the conference good deal OF
plain talk was INDUCED in as to Commissioner
Hayt, and it is asserted on the best authority
that every single representative of the mission
societies is opposed to the continuance in office
of the present Commissioner. Nevertheless it
was not decided to present any ultimatum to
to the President, but respectfully to ask that
he will take measures to restore the admins
tration of the peace policy to the methods first
adopted, and which won the cordial support of
The religious sentiment of the country.

STATE OF MAINE,
SENATE CHAMBER,
AUGUSTA, January g. 1897
To Hon. George E. Weeks:
Dear Sir:-In reply to your official request
to me as President of the Senate to administer
the oath of office to members of the House of
Representatives holding certificates of election
from the Governor and Council, l have the
honor to say that, while / feel it to be my
duty to perform all official acts devolving on
me as defined by the constitution I find, by
an examination of that same constitution and
the law, that certain specific things are re-
quired in order to allow the oath alluded to-
First-The aforesaid oath shall be admins
tered in the presence of the Governor and
Council.
Second-Before the President of the Senate
can act as Governor, there must be a vacancy
in the office of Governor, such as the constitu-
ton contemplates. find that there is serious
doubt in the minds of well-informed legal gem
tlemen as to whether there be now any coun-
Gil in this State. / find also that serious
doubts exist as to whether there be now such
vacancy in the office of governor as the law
and the constitution contemplates, when the
President of the Senate can lawfully exercise
the functions of the executive. therefore
conclude that not being satisfied that I have
legal authority to administer the oath as by
you requested, and being unwilling to exercise
any functions of doubtful authority, 1 must
respectfully decline to comply with your re-
quest.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
