from man TO man and listened anXiously.

each of the men nodded.

The banker drew a deep breath of re-

quietly departed.
A few days after the papers were filled
with the startling announcement that Mr..
Slider, the we'll known banker, had alb

of money was missing. Investigation of
the books showed that he had been pre-

NOR has it that he is now living some
where in South America. But that is one
of the things about which nobody knows
anything definite.

II it was merely such feeling as one republic

springs from the fact that the re-

Much has been said about London journ-

kind. But London journalism has sedate-
ly plodded along regardless Of the filings
that have been made at 1t for many years
past Possibly they are among the things
that will be noted when their turn comes,
but hitherto the attitude of the British
has been one of serene dignity, absolutely
undisturbed by the often unduly exciting
influences of current events. Yet a change
seems to be coming over English news
paper work, for the London Times scores
a scoop on American journalists by in
forming the world that mir. Cleveland

The London Times has a great and glori-

is reassuring to note that in its pursuit Of

the essential idea of sensational journalism
without doing anything that can shock
anybody's sensibilities.

The defeat Of Judge Maynard in New
York was not in any sense political affair:
1t was the triumph Of the best elements Of
both parties, directed by an actively indie
pendent press and the New York State Bar
Association. Democratic bosses undertook
TO pay OF their Indebtedness to Judge Nav
nard for his fraudulent work In their be-
half by nominating him for an office of
great responsibility, demanding unsu1lied
integrity, and insisted that every democrat
should vote for him. Decent men inme-
diately ceased to march in the partisan
procession and straightway organized the
opposition which was so gloriously VIC
torious on Tuesday. Not less than fifteen
thousand democrats voted the republican
ticket, solely that they might rebuke the
bosses who had forced the unsavory norni-
nation down the party throat. The figures
that come from the Empire state do not.
therefore, indicate a great republican VIC
tory, but they do show that the republican
party had sense enough and honor enough
to put on its ticket men Of such good re-
pute that even political opponents could
vote for them without being conscientiously
inconvenienced. With such a revolution as
That OF Tuesday in full view, who shall saw
that there has not been a healthy decline
IN foolish partisanship or that the day of
pure politics is far distant?
