A VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY.


William Jennings Bryan, of Nebras-
ka, yesterday discovered the Hudson
river. and the shade of Hendrix Hud-
son ruffled uneasily the waters of the
great Northwest bay which bears his
name, and beneath which he found a
final resting place with the aid of
mutinous crew nearly three hundred
years ago. The pOpocratic candidate
announced his discovery last evening
to an admiring throng in the pictures
que village of Red Hook, and it is with
extreme qualification that we record
his entire approval of this majestic
stream. These were his words:
I'm reaching this spot we have pass
ed up the river which we have so
often heard, but of which, until this
visit, we knew nothing. We have
been impressed with the fact that this
river and its surroundings are not on
ly pleasing to the eye of those who
love beauty of scenery, but are also
pleasing to those who are interested
in the historic scenes of revolutionary
days. We shall remember with great
delight this, our first acquaintance
with them"
Now let the hills bow down and the
waters run laughing to the sea. Bryan
of Nebraska has endorsedthem. Our
noble Hudson is rescued for al time
from innOcuous desuetude. And yet
Bryan has also endorsed the Chicago
platform. However, we prefer to
view the double fact not as vitiating
his opinion as applied to the Hudson,
but rather as proving that the most
misguided of men must occasionally
stumble upon the truth.-N. Y. Mail
and Express.

EDITOR VS.. REPORTER

1t is related of the editor of the Will
mantle Comm Journal, that having
boarded a train on which he expected
his wife and baby, he kissed the first
woman he saw, grabbed her baby and
was making off with it, when her fran
tic screams brought him to realize
that he had kissed the wrong woman
and taken the wrong baby. Some of
contemporaries contend that an edi-
tor who is so wrapped in thought that
ne cannot tell his own wife and child
from somebody else's must give the
greatest consideration to his editorials
and that in consequence they must be
well worth reading. Others agree
that man so unobservant and undis-
eliminating must be a mighty poor re-
porter. The incident is valuable as
showing the distinction between an ed.
itor and reporter.

a reassuring nature.

dressed his neighbors as follows:
