EDITORIAL NOTES.

1t is hard to defeat some men. It is re-
ported from Colorado that theatrical
company travelling through the mining
towns in the West is playing ''Hamlet"
under the title of "Was His Nibs or His
Nuts" and that the play is drawing tre-
mendously. .
There is such thing as luck. Eleven
years ago Mr.. Leroy Payne, of Chicago,
leased lot on Michigan avenue for ninety
nine years at yearly rental of $2,500.
Some time ago he sold his lease for $40O,s
600, just ten times the amount of the basis
of value on which the lease was made.
The physician who dissected the body
of Schneider, the stranger executed in
Vienna, reports the brain as abnormally
developed, with evidence of having been
affected from childhood with hydroce-
phalus, 80 that the brain power was dimin-
ished and the moral sense rendered almos,
non-existent,

tory and d.scorda t applause, but the
bright, intelligent faces and ready re-
cognision of the teliing points made
BY the speaker, were abundant indices
to the genuine interest taken by the
young men present.
Tue clubs roster contains the names
OF many of the ablsst and most prom
ising young men in the city. United
as they will be in one common cause
their influence will be potent in array
ing under the banner Of protection
many other young men whose politi-
cal beliefs and sympathies are alien to
the best interests of themselves and
their country. With the organization
of the young mems club this city is
more completely aligned for . vigorous
assault upon free trade than ever before
IN It's history.
The HERALD congratulates the re-
publicans Of this city on their compact
and intelligent Capitalization into dis
tinct bodies. The work Was originally
outlined In The HERALD and by the
active cooperation of prominent and
earnest republicans, the actual work
WAS insugurAtsd and is now so COM
plete that every ward in the city is
thoroughly organized and We have two
principal clubs IN healthy existence.
The HERALD claims no other credit for
this magnificent work than that its
columns have been and are still open

the triumph OF republican principles
and the election Of the party's caodi-
