John Swinton writes an entertaining
article for the Denver Republican"
about the wealth of New York newspaper
men, showing how those mentioned
crawled up from the lowest ranks of
journalism to positions of great wealth.
But he does not tell of the innumerable
failures. He does not refer, poor fellow,
the busy brains and the honest hard
work done for the tOiling masses of man
kind by the editor Of John Swinton's
Paper" Of the %hard-earned money sunk
in it, Of the loss Of good position on
the "Sun," Of the one unwise move. the
quarrel with Henry George, and of the
then speedy ebbing away and final death
Of John Swinton's Paper" On all this his
burning pen Is silent. But he is not the
only n who remembers it all with feel
ings Of profound sorrow. Swinton de-
served a better fate.

Of work on the canal that he has written
to the General Government on the sub.

do all in its power to preserve peace and
order, but will hsDweak. Fortunately
there are but few Americans employed
there, but these few will certainly de-
mand his aid, and he proposes doing his
best for the protection of American in
terests there. The General Government
seems inclined to grant him aid.

THE civilized nations of the earth
ought TO make common cause in the
effort to stop the barbarous slave
traffic which disgraces 70 many parts Of
the globe, but particularly on the East
African coast. The Arabs are among
the worst offenders, and the atrocities
which these semi-savages commit on the
poor captives, whom they tear from home
and friends, are awful. Here is a cause
which, for humanity's sake, every lover
Of liberty and justice ought to make
a united struggle.
