Not Such Fun After all to Run q
Newspaper.
Editing newspaper Is apleasant business
IF You can stand 1t, says the st. Angus
tine News. If it contains many advertise
ments subscribers complain that they take
up too much space. If there is lack ofadver-
Using it Is unpopular and the people won't
have it. If we attend church regular they
say wego for effect. If we stay away from
church they say we are monstrously heath
enish. II we accept an invitation to we'd
ding they say we are to write it up,
II we go to the opera-house they say we go
on free tickets. II we are seen on the streets
too often they say we neglect our business.
If we avoid going on the street, they say we
don't hustle around for the news. II we
neglect long communication its author
gets furiously enraged and discontinues his
paper. If we publish lengthy communities
ton our readers will say we lack discretion
and put in anything to ..fill upn If we
swell out In new suit of clothes and cele-
brate grounding day they say we got ouI
clothes in payment for advertising. and
that we are by far to foppish. If in our frail
ity we sometime perpetrate q joke or make a
stagger at q poor little pun. they say we are
exceedingly light and won't do. If we omit
the jokes they say we are poor, miserable
fossils If weare married they say tits pity
for our wife # We are not married they say
it's because we are 70 honaelg to get wife
If we publish man who has brought dis
grace upon his family, the friend of the
family never forgets Us. II we, out Of good
ness Of heart decline to say anything on
the subject, the mans enemies are disapoin-
ted and we are blamed as a white-liyered
coward. We are able to stand these rap and
many more and are always ready to receive
visitors, whether accompanied by dog OF
not. OF course we do not claim there is any

HOW EMO MAY ESCAPE.
Ex-senator Hiscock. His Counsel. Makes q
Novel Assault on the Indictment Of 1884.

NEW YORK, March 23.-The case of
John c. Emo, against whom several lndiet-
ments are pending in the state and federal
courts, and on which he recently gave bail
when he returned from Canada where he
had been in exile for years, came up before
Judge Benedict in the | nited States crimi-
nal court Tuesday on the motion of his
council to dismiss the Indictment which was
found in 1854. This Indictment charges
Emo with wilful embezzlement and ms
application of the funds of the Second Ma
tional Bank, of which he was president, to
the amount of $3.50, 600.
Ex-tnited States Senator Frank IIlscock
and Colonel George Bliss appeared as
counsel for Emo.
Mr.. lIscock opened the argument He
described the Indictment and read its clarg
ing words, which alleged that the defendant
has misapplied the sum of $500 900, there
by defraudng the Second National Bank
and advantaging himself by paying the
money to Diaz X Co.
Mr.. iIiscock's first principal point was
that misappllcation was 4 new oifcnsc not
defined by the statutes. Mr. lIiscock in
stanced embezzlement. conspiring against.
the rights of citizens and other offcnses in
NNlcn even lnt courts tlau hcll tilHt IL was
not enough 10 define tn" crime in the Ian
gungc OF the statutes but that the crime
itsclf must be defined. The language of
the statutes" said Mr.. lliscock. ave hope
