COMPANIES are being organized in
most of the large cities for introducing
Edison's electric light. Although Mr..
Edison's experiments have SO far APP
parently proved the practicability of his
great invention, there are many minor
details yet to be worked out before it can
be put to the practical test of lighting a
large city. Scientific men generally are
slow to concede all that Edison claims
for his light, while a few class it in the
same category with the Keely motor
and other impracticable inventions.

GEN. PRADo, President of Peru, ar
rived in New York on the 9th, on his
way to Europe. Gen. Prado left home
in a somewhat hasty and informal man
ner, and his flight is deemed an admis-

cause. Gen. Nicholas de Pierala has
meanwhile been proclaimed Supreme
Chief, or Dictator, and promises to eff
feet the salvation of Peru by expelling
the Gillian invaders from her soil.

Mrs MEEKER, widow of the MUIR
dered Agent at White Pine Agency, in
recently published letter discloses the
horrible fact that all of the women who
were held as captives by the Indians af-
ter the massacre at White River were
subjected to the most ignominious treat
ment at the hands of the brutal savages.
This fact was given in evidence before
the Commission, but out of considera-

cerned, it was not given to the public.

OURAY and the other Ute hostages, Il

took the cars at Pueblo on the 9TH, en-

luminosity exhibited by the citizens at

Methods and MIstAkes-RemInIseene
OF Charles r. ConEdon.

The Private History OF NeHspaper-
Methods and MIstakss-RsmIniseene
OF Charles T. ConEdon.
New York Tribune.
II may venture to say 50, the Office Of
a newspaper is q republic tempered By
despotism. The men who make journals
are obliged to think for themselves, but
this intellectual independence must be
kept within certain limits. Still, an edi-
torial writer who has any brains soon finds
out what he may say, and what he may
not say, and how far he may put his pri-
yate opinions into his articles. When |
asked for some convenient rule to guide
me in writing for the Tribune, Mr.. Greeley
told me that there could be none; "but
you will be safe here" he said, "while
you keep within the general tone OF the
newspaper; and il you write what We don't
want, you may be perfectly sure we will
not print it." Yet II Is always delicate
business. What seemed excellent in the
evening did not seem so fine in the morn
ing. Newspaper writers make awful mis-
taxes, well calculated to fill the bosom Of
the editor-in-chlet with despair. Things
get into the columns which ought to have
been kept out Of them. Constant vigilance
is the price Of safety, even Of the compar-
alive sort An ill.cousidered article may
bother q newspaper and be q constant
source Of irritation for year to come.
Take, for instance, that wonderful arti.
Gle on "Mtscegenation" which wrote for
the Tribune, in which, half sportiyely and
hall seriously, demonstrated that the
marriage oil blacks and whites was Just
what this great and glorious Republic
needed. The trouble wSs that the irony
was so finely spun that nobody could see
It, and everybody thought that the writer
was in absolute earnest. Those were
times in which We had 10 be careful what
we said, and Mr.. Greeley who saw endless
controversy ahead, was angry enough at
the appearance OF the article. He did not
scold me; am proud 10 say that he never
did that; but have reason TO believe that
he scolded the manager, who then ex-
pressed his mind TO me, which answered
lust as well. II was like that scene in
SheridAn's Rivals, in which the master
kicks the lootman and the footman kicks
the page.
OF the toll which newspaper demands,
oil the unceasing attention which 1t ex-
acts, Of the judicious care which 1t re-
quires, the great public OF readers takes
no account, Those who come TO the
breakfast table, more or less bilious, ex-
pect TO find in their morning sheet some
thing like perfection, and do not mean
70 say that they are not right in expecting |
it But when they glance hastily over the
columns, and judlciOusly declare there Is
nothing in them they often forget that

The most curious fact relating to Mayor
Kalloch, OF San Francisco, and his affairs,
is that he seems to be still "Pastor Of the
Metropolitan Baptist Temple" and in good
standing so far as any official act OF that
religious society affects his case. One
Nelson published a pamphlet concerning
Kalloch, whereupon one Hydd brought
proceedings for libel against Nelson. The
eollusiye object OF the suit, it is said, is to
enable Nelson in justification to publish
matter still more injurious to Kalloch.
This is the view taken by that estimable
person, who with his counsel appeared In
court and asked diseontinuance on the
ground that Kydd was not friend Of his
or member OF the church" and had no
right to interfere in the matter. The
Metropolitan Temple is thus identified
with Kalloch. A more sensitive ecclesias-
teal body might object to such an assoeia-
ton; but the Baptist shell in San Fran
cisco seems to be OF the hardest sort.

THE Utica herald, published at the

THE Utica herald, published at the
home Of Conkling, says:
Mr.. Conkling's resolution to unseat the
West Virginia delegates was unfortunate
for him in several respects, and especially
in that it has logged the memory Of the
country regarding his lukewarmness-tO
put 1t mildIy-in previous campaigns.
Everywhere Republican papers are recall
ing the facts. The Cincinnati Ga'etie
pointedly remarks: "No one knows bet
Ter than Mr.. Conkling how easy 1t is to
work to defeat ticket, while protesting
to be for it. The resolution degraded the
convention, and II were to be introduced
at all, Mr.. Conkling was about the last
man who should do it.
This is a fair sample Of many comments,
sustaining and commencing the bull'seye
shot Of Mccormick OF West Virginia.

The Duration OF English Governments.
The problem Of the duration Of the
Gladstone Government seems TO attract
less comment in England now than just
after the elections, possibly becauFe no
events at home or abroad ioreshadow with
precision the issue on which it is likely to
70 to pieces. During the past hundred
years there have been thirty.three changes
Of British Premiers, making an average OF
about three years for each. But while
some have held several terms, Others have
continued very long in uninterrupted
power, notably VIM. Pitt, whose first term
lasted upward Of seventeen years, and the
Earl Of Liverpool, who lasted nearly If
teen. Thirty Of these thirty.three terms
were less than year each; the Duke Of
Wellington's second term, in 1884, lasted
but twenty-five days, and Lord John
RuSsell's frst, in 1915, only eighteen.
The Earl OF Besconsfeld's second term,
Just ended, lasted little over SIX years,
and Mr.. Gladstone's first, which immedi-
ately preceded, four years and hundred
days.
