Honesty Did not Pay.

huuhip courier.
In an address before the Wisconsin
editors few weeks ago Mr.. Halstead, in
effect, told his hearers that he had once
tried to draw distinction in his paper
between the matter he was paid for
printing and that which he printed as
news, but that this attempt to be virtu.
GUS didn't pay, and that he no longer en-
tertained any scruples in such matters.
Ii this Is the standard Of frank, bold,
honest, and independent" journalists.
one cannot help wondering what sort of
rules guide the conduct of ''sneaking,
commonplace subservient, cowardly
editor Halstead's persistent course in
stirring up bitterness toward the South,
and his unscrupnlous partisanship are
almost creditable to him, compared with
his Wisconsin confession-or rather,

ONE Of the Republican Senators who
voted for Halstead said that the Presi-
dent seems to think that he is solely re-
sponsible for the conduct Of this govern
ment. I have been up twice to ask for
appointments that have thought my
state was entitled to, and which any
other president would have given me
without word, but General Harrison
acted just as though all the offices be-
longed to him and that was there to
beg, borrow, or steal one.

And now comes one whose husband
possesses unlimited wealth, yet who will
doubtless from choice be less of a leader
than any of the other cabinet ladies'
She is very retiring woman. She was
a Miss Mary Brown, Of Philadelphia.
Her brother and John Wanamaker went
into the clothing business many years
ago, setting up the much advertised Oak
Hall clothing store. Miss Brown was the
daughter of grocer. Through her
brother she became acquainted with Mr.
Wanamalzer and they were married
when he was poor man. .
When wealth began to pour in upon
the Wanamakers, the wife did not use it
for the purpose of gaining social posi-
ton. Indeed Mrs. Wanamaker has never
entered the gay world of what may be
called the American city Of lineage,
Philadelphia. But she has devoted her
self to better work, attending to the
wants Of the poor. She is a member Of
the Presbyterian church and is especially
interested in Sunday schools One Of
her especial favorites, Bethany Sunday
school, has some two thousand scholars
enrolled by her. Her eocial life has
always been confined to the home circle
and to few intimate friends. She has
four children Thomas. Rodman, Minnie
and Lillie-Thomas, the Oldest, is %
years old, Rodman is %. They are both
married. The two daughters are 20 and
1s. Mrs Wanamaker is now abroad
with them, perfecting their education.
-.
OF all these ladies perhaps the one hav.
ing longest had great prominence and
experience from her husbands position
is Mrs. Rlaine; the richest is Mrs Wana-
maker: the most high born, Mrs. Tracy
and Mrs. Proctor; the youngest-there is
no oldest and no youngest. for cny one
of them is old enough 70 be grand
mother. and several Of them have that
felicity.

the foregoing is taken from a recent ar.
