A Plot to Ruin St. John.

A horrible story has come to light concerning
St John, the Prohibition candidate for
President 1t is stated that, once upon a
time, when a mere youth, he had the
chills, and the doctor prescribed quinine
aud whisky With diabolical promptness ev-
identity born of the true topper instinct St John
proceeded to take the prescription in broken
doses. He threw away the quinine and took the
whisky straight The matter is undergoing a
rigid Investigation. Some of the temperance
people are in favor Of condoning the offense on
the ground that it was youthful error, but it is
not to be denied that the discovery Of this start

its very center

W. F. STOREY.
A Famous Editor and His Mental Ruin.

A Famous Editor and His Mental Ruin.
WILDER F. Storey, of the Chicago
Times, must be regarded as dead in the
business world, one of his nephews
having, with the consent of the rest OF
the family, applied for a cOnservator tor
him. The wonder is that this proceed
ing has been so long delayed, Mr.. Storey
having for the past seven or eight years
been unfit to manage his affairs, and has
not in that time been the real manager
of the Times, though he has been the
owner and permitted to take out all his
earnings, which he has put iuto ire
mendous building intended for a resi-
denee. Mr.. Storey goes out ofhusiness,
and hereafter only briefly viii his name
be mentioned in connection With that of
the Times, and the wonderful growth
OF Chicago journalism, with which
he has had so much to
do. Mr.. Storey built up
and made profitable the Detroit Free
Press, the control of which he secured
| by a characteristic bargain. He was
quite . factor IN Jackson politics, and
managed To secure control Of Congress
Sional convention, before which David
Stewart came for nomination. On CON
ditiOn that he would give him a control
| ing interest in the detroit Free
Press, which Stewart owned, Sto-
rey agreed to have Stewart
nominated. The bargain was car
fried out. In 1861 Mr.. Storey sold the
Free Press, and at the age OF y, went to
| Chicago and purchased the bankrupt
| Times, which had circulation of per-
haps 5000. He put all his money into
the concern and much besides that he
was able to borrow, the first thing
| bought being a new and costly press
At that time the Times was valued at
| 100000 in 1876 the establishment,
then valued at $l,00O,OO0, was en-.
| tirely swept away by fire. A temporary
rough board building was put UP, and
for more than three years, the Times
was printed in il under many disad
yantageS, while the present magnificent
building was being erected and
| equipped-as costly and as handsome an
establishment of the kind as there is in
! the country. Whom the paper was moved
uto the new building, Mr.. Storey val
ued it ut more than Sl,5OO,000
! In all his newspaper career
Mr.. Storey's shibbolelh has been
news. His instructions were no matter
| what it was and no matter hOW-gct it
| The feelings Of individuals or. societies
the sanctity Of courts and senates, were
outraged and violated to fill the col
umns of the Times. He would get cop
les of documents, as the Presidents
message, under solemn promise no
to use them until a certain time, and he
would use them before that time t.
get "eave" on his contemporaries
He would put representative in New
York to steal the special news princi
pally the costly special cable dispatches
from the New York morning papers
and telegraph it to the Times
Credtable as his career has been il
some directions, it has been so bad il
others that his retirement is not likel,
to cause regret nor awaken sympath,
among the guild Rochester Herald.

A FEW years ago the cattlemen in the
northwest endeavored to prevent the or
ganization of several counties in this
State by judicial proceedings, because
II would have tendency to induce
actual settlers to occupy lands then held
by the barons. Now these same cattle
men pretend that they want the country
settled up by farmers and small stock
men. A few years ago the cattlemen
announced in loud tones that the actual
settler should not occupy the grazing
lands, for the farmer would ruin their
business by the Introduction of the pillow
and the hoe. Now they pretend that
they want free grass, because II will be
the means of actual settlers occupying
their lands to the injury of their own
business. The truth is, tho cattlemen
are now endeavoring to have the lease
law repealed in order TO prevent the
country from settling up, that they may
hold aud occupy the lands TO the exclu.
siou OF all others, aud by force end in
timidation keep out actual settlers.
