Col. Herbert M. Hoxie, Jay Gould's
we'll known lieutenant in the manage
ment of the Missouri Pacific raif~aad
system, whose home was in st. Louis,
died in New York, last Monday, of
Bright's disease, to which he had long
been a victim. Mr.. Hoxie was a man
of great executive ability. He was
much beloved by his family and init
mates, and though he took q very pos
tive stand against the strike of last
summer, the. labor organizations seem
generally to unite in passing resolutions
of regret at his death.

MAJOR EDWARDS ON THE TIMES

Col. G. c. Adkins, of st. Joseph,
was interviewed by the Sedalls Demo-
crat a few days ago. Among other
things the following was said:-
"What about Major Edwards? Is he
going to Kansas City?'
Eyes, he told me 80 the day before l
left home."
els he to be the managing editor of
the new democratic paperi"
"Oh, no. He takes editorial charge
of the Times. DR.. MunfOrd has want
ed him for some time, and he needs
him especially now, as the paper has
lost a great deal of prestige by its
course in the late congressional con-
test"
"Then Edwards is expected to bring
it out of the kinks?"
"That's it, exactly. He has been
given twenty-five shares of stock and
will receive $50 per week."
"Did the Times lose any subscribers
in your county because of its refusal to
support Col. Philips?"
SIT lost nearly all it had. 1t was
looked upon as a worse enemy than
the Journal, and democrats refused to
peruse it."
We regret very much to learn this
piece of news. The arrangement may
prove profitable to the major, and we
have often in the past wondered that
it was not made, as Messrs. Munford
and Edwards have always been
friends, and the Times has really never
had any continuity of thought in its
editorial columns.
But it is a bad time tor Major Ed
wards to make this change. The con-
tract, we see it stated, is foT ten years.
If SO, it for that length of time rele-
gates the major to the position OF
scape-goat and figure head for 8
machine which he cannot control. He
is toe bright aud brave a man for that.
A true democrat, unselfsh, never seek
ing anything for himself; always fol-
others and for the party the opportu'
nifty was within his grasp to be the
fearless and independent leader in 8
true democratic newspaper at Kansas
City, that would have achieved a sue.
cess heretofore u~napproached in the
annals of journalism in Missouri. 1t
is in the air. There is q revolt against
treachery. 1t is not ephemeral. 1t is
deep, earnest; it means something.
Why should Major Edwards use his
personal popularity and the fertility Of
his pen to stem a rising and still rising
tide, when they can more easily move
abreast of the democratic feeling of the
state? Money? Aye, there's the rub
The Times has made money and feels
superior to its party. But is it? The
event will prove. In the mean time il
is understood that the Times is not 8
democratic but a personal organ. 1t l.
managed after the old spoils theory o
many years ago, when district patro n
age was the property of a politician OF
a newspaper, as the case might be, but
there is a reform in vogue that viii
sooner or later put all end to profit in
that way. Then the Times might be-
come a newspaper, if it were in othel
hands.
Thousands of democrats in Mis-
souri, who wish Major Edwards
well, will regret that he has placed
himself in a position where they can
not read his writings without reproach
ing themselves with nursing a vipeI
that may at any moment turn upor
and sting their party unto death.

The New York World comments
upon Mr.. Blaine's repulse of Mr.. Ed
munds as follows:-"Mr. Blaine's re-
fusal to accept the proffered friendly
hand of Senator Edmunds in the house
where lay the corpse of ex-Presldent
Arthur, was the subject of varied COM
ment among the politicians yesterday.
The significance of it is, that if Mr..
Blaine changes his mind and concludes
to return to politics by running for the
presidency in 1888, he will have the
open, vindictive hostility of Mr.. Ed
munds, instead of his silent contempt
as in 1884. And as goes Edmunds, SC
goes Vermont"
