We learn from the Owosso Press that
John Fudge has gone to Luther. Such
bold. startling facts thrown out unsuggested
and with all the forcbleness of revelation
may be far-reachlng; who knows? Who
was John Fudge? Why did he leave
Owosso, and why did he GO TO Luther?
Could it be that Fudge had become wearied
reading in the Press of Fayette Square, of
the articles on wool and tin plate? Feeling
that it was impossible to escape these terrors
in Owosso and not yet being ready to wrap
the drapery of his couch about him and lay
himself down, Mr. Fudge could see no hope
of escape but to go to Luther, a struggling
town situated between. despair and pine
stumps. There may be other reasons why
Mr.. +. went to Luther, His uncle or aunt
might have wanted him to come and allow
them to lean upon him in their declining
days. But first, last and all the while, the
one bare fact remains recorded that John
Fudge went to Luther. In after ages when
the historian will be digging deep into
philosophy of events, he will take up this
jewel and appropriately frame around it
facts that will show how civilization was
effected and then he will trace out how this
one central and overwhelmingly potent fact
came to be recorded. Mural tablets will be
appropriately placed on line, two points of
which shall be the Press Office and Sam
Schmidt's farm, where generations to come
will read thereon that John Fudge has gone.

Men Will Not do Honor TO That
Which They pespise.

These are the closing words from speech
delivered by Bradley L. Johnson at the
dedication of confederate monument at
Fredericksburg: .
1.-The war Ton the part of North
was a scheme of contractors, who
drained the national purse and kept the
turmoil raging until the drainage was COM
plete. The idea is dimly pressing itself
upon the Northern mind that we tried to
avoid the war, did not want war, but that
war was brought on, waged and continued
for the purpose of keeping a faction in
power and enabling the controllers of the
faction to make profit out of it. 1t was
not patriotic war to preserve the Union,
but cOntractOrs'war to secure the men in
power permanent control i'm government.
Pensions and bOunties are the degrading
consequences of the mercenary motives
which brought it on. Victory has been the
source of unutterable evils to them, while
defeat has developed enormous good in
character and i'm conduct with us. Men will
not do honor to that which they despise."
Compare this with the speeches delivered
in the North on decoration day or upon any
occasion where the deeds of the veterans
are subject of consideration. The ''bloody
Shirt" the war, are not made issues by the
republican party. No Northern orator
seeks to impugn the motives of the Southern
soldier and the only excuse possible for such
speeches is that the South must be kept
solidly democratic and in the North no
reference be made TO the war, because it
Injuries the prospects of the party. Any
direct reference to Southern expressions by
the North is bloody shirt waving. What
is right in the South to say is wrong for the
North to repeat. Let the Northern demo-
cratic papers occasionally read the South
some lessons upon the character of the
North and that section will haye more re-
spect for the nation. No one supposes that
Mr.. Johnson's declaration will effect history.
Grant and Sherman were not men who
fought for money. The men who now wear
the buttons were not mercenaries, actuated
by desire for money. Bradley T. John
son is simply one of the old bourbons, who
never learn nor forget anything, of which
class Michigan is now so unfortunate as to
have governor from.

buy foreign worsteds from the remainder at

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Oct 26.-Mrs
Bella Nau, the wife of August G. Nau, a
we'll known furniture dealer of this city,
who has Just been released from the
Long Island Home, private insane asy-
lum at Amityvil1e, by Justice Cullen of
the Supreme Court, had been confined in
the asylum four years, and Lawyer AL
bert Bach says she was perfectly sane all
this time Mr.. Bach said this morning:
''The confinement of the woman in an
insane asylum is the greatest outrage
that l have ever heard of. She is one of
the brightest and most intelligent
women 1 have ever met Four years ago
she had puerperal fever, which is at
tended almost invariably by a greater or
less loss of reason. AS soon as she was
able to leave her bed her husband placed
her in the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum.
They would not keep her there long, and
soon discharged her as improved. Then
two physicians certified that they
thought Mrs. Nau was insane, and upon
that certificate, without taking her be-
fore magistrate, she was placed in the
Long Island Home.
"A few weeks ago an old blind man, a
cousin of the woman, named Bernard
Greiner, went to Miss Lathrop and told
her that he had heard that Miss Nau was
perfectly sane, and that she was SUBJ
jected to the most degrading indignities
in the insane asylum. Miss Lathrop
went to Amityville and had long talk
with Mrs. Nau. She said that her hus-
band paid So week for her board, but
did not send her any clothes. She had
to work for the other inmates who &C.
casionally gave her some of their cast
off garments.
81 obtained writ of habeas corpus
Saturday afternoon and had the woman
taken before Justice Cullen. DR.. j. E.
Bowman of the home, with an attendant,
accompanied her, but he left the court
room before the case came up, and he
sent his return of the writ in the form
of letter, in which he simply said that
he could not assure the woman's friends
that she was perfectly sane, or that it
was safe for her to be released.
'Justice Cullen said he would hold an
examination on Wednesday, and advised
me to send physicians to examine into
the woman's mental condition. Her
husband, who was in court, then con-
sented to her release, saying her sister,
who lives in Poughkeepsie, was willing
to take care of her. Thereupon Justice
Cullen signed an order for Mrs. Nau's
release. She will never go back to he1

glanced down the column, and the fol-
lowing heading caught my eye: Sunset
Cox is dying 1t shocked me. Just
fancy speaking so Of a statesman,
whose name should be sacred to the
heart of every true American-one who
has done so much for his countrymen.
This sort of thing makes me sorry You
need not be dull, heavy or goody goody,
but journalism should be dignifed, and
these American headings shock me
sometimes. However, the American
press was very kind to me, and 1 owe
nothing but a debt of gratitude to
American journalism"
All this was certainly plain, even if it
was not complimentary to American
journalism. Sir Edwin spoke so freely
and earnestly that was disposed to
urge him on.
''What, in your opinion, will the news
paper of the future be like? Will it
differ much from that of the day?".
81 don't think" said he, seriously,
that the newspaper Of to-day can be
improved very much In point of compo-
sition and writing. consider that our
own paper and the Times are almost
perfect monuments Of composition, but
I think that art as applied to newspaper
illustrations will come into very general
use. don't know how it is to be done,
but the pictures will have to be perfect
Illustrated journalism is in its infancy
yet. The reporter of the future will
have to draw of course"
Then he went on speaking of the re-
quirement Of the journalist of the
future. ga man cannot be too well
educated for the press; nobody can be
good enough or too good. The more
you have read the more you know; the
more fit you are; but you never can be
perfectly fit. 1t deserves the very best
work.
"You are an enthusiast on the subject
of the press?"
Eyes, am" replied the great editor,
because it is such a mighty instrument
for good. I am very proud to have
served the press for thirty years, during
which time have written 5000 leading
articles besides my editorial work. l
look back upon this labor with very
great satisfaction"
The home life of Sir Edwin Arnold
has always been unostentatious. Since
the death of his wife it has been even
vacation time he has latterly spent in
japan, but he is an Englishman to his
finger tips, and what is more lover of
London.
AS might be expected Of poet of
such rich imagination and exquisite
fancy, his home is most beautiful one.
He has been a great traveller, and in
addition an industrious and intelligent
collector of rare gems in the way of
bric-a-brac. These are scattered all
about the house. The rare taste of the
poet and scholar is shown in these
gems that he has picked up in various
parts of the globe as thoroughly as
anything could show it. But in addi-
ton to these are others that came to
him as presents from the sultan, the
shah, from kings and from Indian
princes and rajahs. No one in England
outside of the court has such collec-
ton as that which adorns his homo.
