A Credulous Editor.

Mr.. o. H. Rothaker, editor of the Omaha
Republican. does not believe that DR..
Cronin is dead. In Kansas City day or
two ago he said he was confident that
Cronin was alive and well, and that he
would ssishow up in England before long.
Mr. Rothaker pretends TO have some in
formation about this Cronin business that
no one else has. He ought to be summoned
before the Chicago grand jury and per-
mitted TO give his reasons for thinking
Cronin. is alive Indeed, if he believed
what be says it is prob able that he would
not hesitate to 60 before the grand jury
without being summoned.
There is ground for suspecting that some
body has been imposing upon Mr.. Rothaker,
or that he is trying to get himself before
the public He is not at all averse to little
notoriety. It is noticeable, however, that he
doesn't express in his own newspaper the
opinion that DIR. Cronin is not dead. He
thought it necessary to go to Kansas City
TO relieve himself of his secret. Probably
be was afraid to express SO ridiculous an
opinion in q town where he is generally
known.
There is no doubt that DR.. Cronin is dead
The body that was found in the manhole
not far from the house in which he was
murdered was recognized as his. Persons
who knew him well in life had no doubt
that the body found was his. Mr. Rothaker
says the body recognized as DR.. Cronin's
was stiff obtained from medical col
lege, and that it was intended to lead those
who might search for DR.. Cronin away
from the latter's true hiding place. If Mr..
Rothaker isrsally sincere in what he says
his friends ought to have guardian APP
| pointed for him.

A Tight Squeeze.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript,
Speaking of going to Europe, the listener is
reminded of dialogue that he heard in Back
bay car the other day. middle aged lady
with a heavily beaded cape a high-pointed
bonnet, gold-heaned umbrella and an inauirine-
expression of countenance, had quietly seated
herself and been engaged in the study of a
swell English costume opposite for some time,
when another lady, somewhat younger, and
whose costume, oddly enough happened to he
a sort of caricature of the swell English cos
tune, got into the car and sat down by the lady
in the beaded cape. The two recognized each
other at once, and fell into conversation The
older lady began to tell about her alta RS
making delicate illusions to her house. her SER
wants. her carriage, and the various more or
less gorgeous proceedings of the members of
her family. At last the younger woman asked
Going to Europe this summer, Mrs. Haber-

The young lady looked an Interrogation,

for her to be sick and have TO come home from
college just when the Newlicomes and the Shod-
dierafts were having their parties She's scared
to death now for fear she won't pass the ex-
aminations. But do you know what John says:

HE says that nothing viii please Maria more

The Judge Takes Up the Politician.

FROM he AeD YORK Star,
There IS oreeziness about the buzz of the
venerable Wiskinskie John D. Newman of Tam
many Hail that delights the sense, and the
way he reels of scripture is a warning 10 dea-
cons 10 look sharp after their laurels He was
dlscoursing yesterday in the vicinity of the City
han. and IN tbs course of his interesting re-
marks said that Cooper, Power and Cunning
nam reminded him of Shadraeh, Meshach and
Abednego OF sacred history
'Why:" asked the crowd
Because they are ''ark-angels." explained
John D., waiting for laughter.
Il don't think you ought to tamper with
scripture. john" said Judge Monel.
Why" asked 10 n D.
Because your biblical education has been
neglected, replied the handsome Judge.
, Mhat s the matter with what said!'' Queried

counsel
''Shadrsch, Meshach and Abednego were
sons OF Noah and went into the ark: so. of
course, they were arS-angels. Sees' explained

The refusal, the other day, of the royal
yacht squadron in London to accept the
terms for a contest for the Americas cup
seems to indicate that there will be no inter
national race this year. 1t is thought that
our friends, the English, are afraid of being
beaten again, as they probably would
DO. so they object to the rules
as pretext for not making the contest
Lord Dunraven, who owns ths Valkyrie,
may come over, however, and get up race
or two just for the pleasure of the thing,
although. with his British characteristic
of desiring always to be first, he could not
get much pleasure out of them if the VAL
kyrie should be beaten.

The conemau1h Relief Fund.

There seems to be no plans for the distrl-
button of the money contributed by people
in all parts of the country for the Cone
maugh valley sufferers. The Johnsto.n
finance committee wants all the money dis
tributed at ouce, and advises that it be dis
tributed among all who suffered a loss Of
property. II is willing, however, TO hear
suggestions from the different committees
that hold the relief funds It's main object
Is 70 get the money into circulation and
thus relieve much existing distress.
The committees having the relief funds
have come to the conclusion that the charity
fund shall be given only 10 those who are
actually in need Of assistance. In this, Of
course, they are right. There are thousands
who lost heavily by the food who are still
in comfortable circumstances, and who have
all the necessaries, and even the comforts, of
| life. The people to be assisted are the
thousands who lost everything, aud who are
now homeless
OF course the relief funds ought not to be
used to encourage idleness. Those who viii
not work when employment is offered 20
them ought not to be assisted. There are
will not exert themselves in their own be-
half as long as they and their families are
given food and shelter.
There is another thing that the relief
committees will have to bear in mind, and
that Is that there will probably be a great
deal OF sickness among the flood sufferers,
and those who become helpless from that
cause will have to be cared for. Typhoid
fever has made its appearance in the valley.
In one day this week fifty laborers were
taken seriously sick with symptoms of that
disease
No doubt the relief committees will dis
tribute the funds in their possession to the
best Of their ability among the needy.
Some of the most deserving will be over
looked, doubtless, and many who are well
able to provide for themselves will manage
to draw their support from the relief funds.
This is always the case where there is
abundant charity. and it is a condition of
things which cannot be guarded against
successfully,

Col James Rice Of Indianapolis. ex-auditor Of
tne state OF Indiana and popular democratic
pohtleian, told good story at the Fifth Avenue
motel last night on young Henry Cooke. the
washington banker and son OF the famous ex-
nnaneier. jay Cooke. Young Cooke was com
ing over 70 New YORK and fell in with party Of
indiana democrats among whom were Rice and
ex-senator Mcdonald. who were coming 70 the
meeting OF the national committee. Cooke
was introduced to Mcdonald, whom he had
never met before, but failed 70 catch the name.
The talk turned upon politics aRd the young
man said: "You democrats can always be
counted upon 10 put up the wrong man. Now
II you'd nominate old Saddlebags' Mcdonald
OF Indiana I'd vote for him myself" The ex-
senator was highly embarrassed, but the others
neid their laughter in and led the young banker
on 70 discuss farther the merits and chances OF
Mcdonald. Finally the old Indiana warhorse
could stand it no longer, and so made an excuse
TO get into the next car
Ola, mt you know who that old man wass''
asked Rice.
No" said Cooke. IT never saw him be-
We'll, that was Joe Mcdonald"
The -; why didn't you let me knows
Meil meant it, anyway" Cooke got of at

place of Lula Hurst, who made a fortune
and then married young Georgian named

The Philadelphia Inquirer rubs its hands
together in an ecstacy of joy as it says: 'sIf
the colored people of the south are SO well
pleased with President Harrison now, as
their address shows them TO be, they will
fairly idolize him when his policy has been
in operation long enough to secure them in
their right to vote" The colored people of
the south are not very well pleased with
President Harrison, and they have not pre-
sented an address of approval to him.. The
other day ex-Congressman Lynch of Missis-
sippi marched up to the white house ia
front of company of colored republicans
whom he had been putting through the
motions for some time, and he succeeded in
getting them to say their little piece with
out break, but they did not represent the
colored people of the south. They repre-
sented John R. Lynch. who was recently
given a piece of government pie. The
President isn't satisfying many people. 1t
is extremely doubtful if he is satisfying
those republican organs which pretend to
be so greatly pleased with his administra-
ton, but if he satisfies himself he will hav 9
attained the object for which he seems to
think he was elected.
