A SUPPOSED case of leprosy
among the Chinese laundrymen of
Allegheny City has brought to light
the fact that Chinsse physician is
paid so much year for keeping a
man well, and that the physician for
feits so much of his yearly stipend
for every day the patient is sick.
Evidently American civilization can.
not afford to despise the Chinese in
everything. This idea is worthy of
importation, duty free.

The Editor.

The Wheeling Lnteliigencer in an
editorial welcoming the members of
the State Press Association to that
city, says of the editor: "He has
more obstacles to overcome and meets
with more annoyance than does his
contemporary in the large towns and
cities. His worth is rarely appreci-
ated to the extent it should be, but
IN spite of all he labors patiently and
uncomplainingly for the prosperity of
his community which never realizes
his value until he has gone.
There is a widespread belief that
when man engages in newspaper
work he enters it for the sole pur.
pose OF amusement and that the du.
ties of the editor are relaxing in
their nature. The idea that it takes
money to run newspaper, and re-
quires the hardest kind of labor to
make ii acceptable to its readers
never presents itselfto the careless
reader in the practical form it does
to the proprietor. While editors are
not men of sordid characters, still
they like to see some substantial APP
probation of their work, and be re.
minded that their labors are not in
vain.
The newspaper has from some
Cause or other been enveloped in
mystery. No thought of toll enters
into the conception Of those who i'm.
agine that the daily life of the editor
is one uninterrupted holiday. 1t is
difficult to imagine how these ether.
cal Impressions have become so firm.
y stamped on the minds of so MANY.
1t is true that there is q charm in
newspaper work when its tasks are
found to be congenial, but cannot
the same be said for any other occu-
patton. The routine of work in the
newspaper office is very prosaic and
is of the most practical character
and bears no relation whatever to a
picnic.

IN speaking of Mr.. Blaine's open
ing speech in the Maine campaign
at Sebago last week, the New York
Times, Republican, says: Through
out the long address, which is very
fair and a very dull one, the speakers
mind has plainly been directed not
so much to what he should say as to
what he should leave unsaid. BY
this he has succeeded in disappoint-
ing those, whether friendly or hostile,
who expected a brilliant grafton,
charged with the personality of the
ex-candidate. 1t is such speech as
we do not remember Mr., Blaine eyer
to have made before, and such as any
one of five hundred or thousand or
ators in the Republican party could
have made with equal effect"
The New York Herald, lndepend-
ent, remarks: GAS the speech was
intended for the nation rather than
the State of Maine, and for future
rather than present ends, the failure
of the speaker to deal with other is
sues that are likely to be more lively
and important than those treated by
him will be generally remarked. Its
readers will also hardly fail to notice
that his effort at Sebago Lake is tam
er and less effective than might have
been expected from the Plumed
Knight"

The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun of the 23rd says :
"Much interest is manifested here
in the result of the approaching elect
tion in West Virginia. One of the

ia democracy to take such an active
interest in an election on an off year
as at present. They are working
with as much enthusiasm as if they
were in the midst Of q presidential
campaign. Nearly all the members
of the Legislature who have thus far
been nominated are pledged to Sena-
tor Camden, and there is but little
doubt but what he will be his own
successor. Before the county conven-
tions were held there was considera-
bic buster and talk Of defeating Sen
ator Camden, but the anti.C Camden
strength did not materialize in the
convention. In the mining districts
the laboring people will insist on hay
ing one of their representative in
the Legislature, and their wishes in
that regard will be respected. Their
candidate will, however, be of the
democratic faith. 1t may be that
several members of the Legislature
will represent the labor element, but
they will also be democrats when par
ty questions arise. The democratic
leaders in the State have no fear of
Representative Golf being elected to
the Senate in the place of Camden;
on tue contrary, they claim that the
democrats will sweep the State and
send four Representatives to the next
Congress instead of three, as at pres
ent.

NOTWITHSTANDING its repeated as

warns the candidates of its party

A New York correspondent says !:
cit seems that the outbreak at Chica.
go was only ripple on the outskirts
of anarchy. New York is the center
of the whole business. For years
the exiled nihilists and outlaws of
the old world have been quietly gath
ering and perfecting their organiza-
tions in our great metropolis. They
have been manufacturing explosives
and storing them for future use. They
are now engaged in collecting recruits
and educating them up to the proper
pitch Of reckless hardihood and
deyiltry."
