1t Afforded Us Great Pleasure

The Columbia Herald, speaking OF
the excursion taken by the National
Editorial Association of the United
States through California and the
northwest, says: For the success
of the trip-the greatest ever taken
by any association upon this CONT
nent 1t the Missouri delegates are
deeply indebted to Gen. Robert M.
White, of the Mexico LEDGER. He
had charge of the party, made all
arrangements with the railroads, and
looked after the comfort and con-
v%enience of the editors in every pos
sible way. He was always courteous,
untiring and unselfish. Nothing was
too difficult for him to undertake
and perform if the pleasure of the
party would be promoted thereby.
He was a brave friend, q capable
leader and a thoroughly companion
able gentlemen. His wife was a
clever assistant and both Bob and
Mrs. White endeared themselves to
all Missourians on the trip. Here's
to them! May they live long and

The Editor In Politics.
From the Columbia Herald.

The very active part played by
certain esteemed newspaper men in
booming their favorites for place in
the political campaign just ended in
Missouri suggests the pertinent in
quiry as to what exactly is the edi-
tors place in politics. Is it at his
desk? Or is it, in addition, running
over the country, capturing dele
gates and manipulating conventions?
Is it a part of the journalists duty
to add to his work al an editor the
art of the politician and of the bus
tier of votes? We think not. If
there is one reason more than an
other why SO many newspaper men
have their noses at the grindstone it
is because they allow themselves to
be taken from their legitimate bust
ness to engage in the wholly thank
less work of booming other people
for office. When an editor has given
to a candidate his editorial support
he has done his duty both by the
candidate and the public. To go be-
yond it is to discredit his profession
al influence and lower the standard
of his calling.
Some twenty years experience in
journalism and politics has taught
the valuable lesson that the farther
the newspaper man can keep away
from the political wire-pulling the
better it is for him personally, pro-
|fessionally and pecuniarily. In this
way alone can he preserve his indie
pendence and avoid entangling al
~liances which compromise his in
fuenee and destroy his power. He
thus avoids both personal enmities
and obligations which necessarily
attend the identifications with politi-
cal conventions, and maintains dig
nifty in his Office, which is not only
more pleasant and profitable to
himself, but which commands much
higher respect and confidence from
the public.

The Linear Length OF Dances.

iioLh knc L hiLhIelpHiaF TbSS.
An average waltz takes one ovel
or about three-quarters of a mile,
and a galop equals a good mile, al
a run, too. Count up yourself how
much the girl with a well filed pro-
gramme traverses in an evening.
Twenty dances is the average, you
know. Of these about twelve are
waltzes. There, at once, is nine
miles. Three galops, and she has
done twelve miles. Five other dam
ces at a half mile apiece, which is
hardly a fairly big estimate, brings
her to close upon fifteen miles, to
say nothing of the intermission stroll
in the garden and the trips to the
dressing room to renovate ones

The Latest Sea Serpent Story.

From the New York World.
KINGSTON, Ontario, July 24.--G.
Parks and wife, of Brakey's Bay,
Wolfe's Island, were out sailing on
Sunday evening. They heard a
noise as if something was rushing
through the water at a great rate.
They looked for the cause of the dis
tnrbance and saw a serpent of huge
size making for their boat. Its eyes
looked like balls of fire. Nh. Parks
rose in the boat and waited for the
enemy. When it got within striking
distance Mrs. Parks screamed at
the top of her voice for help, while
her husband pounded the serpent
with a fish pole. The reptile lodged
about the boat for a long time and
then disappeared, making a noise
like a buzz saw.

Case OF Brutality.

AS was to have been expected,
the action of Col. Streator, of Penn
sylvania, in ordering one of his pri-
vate soldiers hung up by the thumbs
is securing him a rich return in con-
demnation. The private, a man
named Iams, who applauded at the
information that Prick was shot,
was guilty of a gross breach of mill
tary etiquette. That is about what
his offense would have been ac-
counted but that circumstances and
his own position as a conserver OF
peace at Homestead made the of
tense exceptionally heinous.
How far freedom of speech may
be rightfully denied to a militiaman
is not known, but it is plain enough
that a soldier cannot be permitted
openly to sympathize with his foes.
He would bring decentralization into
military discipline. No one would
have blamed Streator for ordering
that the culprit be kept in
the guard house on bread and water
until he was brought to court
martial. There seems to be much
doubt among military men as to
the exact extent of Streator's
authority for improvising penal
codes. But to make himself Judge,
jury and executioner, hold a trial in
quick temper and deliver IN i'm
promptu sentence to torture was
obviously indefensible. Streator has
been guilty of outrageous brutality
and should be cashiered: Com
manders who cannot command their
own tempers are unfit for service.
And a few more instances such
as this would seriously damage the
popularity of the militia.

His Sisnature-History of the Greai
Northampton Bank Robbery in 1876.
Boston, Dec. 29.-James Dunlap, the
Northampton bank robber, was pardoned
last evening by Gov. Russell and will!
leave the Charleston State prison Jan. l.
Fifteen years ago New Years Day James
Dunlap and Robert Scott began to serve IA
sentence of 20 years. Scott died in prison
and his wife, now Mrs. Mary Scott Row
land, promised him on his death bed that
she would devote her life to securing a
pardon for Dunlap. The latter's sentence
would have expired Dec. 30, 1898.
Gov. Russell's Council voted unani-
mously for the pardon, Lieut.. Gov. Ha le
his objection.
For years Dunlap has been before the
Governor and Council. The Executive
Council of 1888 recommended that he be
pardoned. The Councils of 1890 and 1891
recommended that pardon be granted
forthwith, and the Council of 1892 that
he be freed in April, A minority dis
sented. The Governor refused i'll each
case to grant the pardon.
The pardon will be held for Mrs Row
lands arrival to-day that she be the first
person to inform Dunlap of his freedom.
The ''Old Northampton Bank, at
Northampton, Mass, was robbed ON the
night of Nov 26, 1876, of 200 in cash
and 81, 800, 900 in securities The burglars,
who had been in the vicinity several
weeks, took the cashier from his house
and forced him TO give them the combi-
nation of the safe.
The gang included "Red' Leary, Billy
Connors, Ed. Goodrich, ''Shang'' Draper,
Bob" Scott and James Dunlap.
The booty was concealed for a time in
the belfry of the Church of the Redeemer
Astoria, l.. l. 1t is claimed that Leary,
Draper and Connors cheated Scott and
Dunlap out of their share, and then be
trayed them.
The two men were arrested in New
York, taken to Massachusetts and con
victed on the testimony of Goodrich.
Dunlap is believed to have been the
tool of the other men, and Scott said Us
much before he died.
Dunlap has been model prisoner, and
would have shortened his term by gooC
behavior even if he had not been pardoned
