cerning the financial problem he says:
Tho money standard of great nation should
be as fixed and permanent as the nation itself
To secure and retain the best should be the de-
sire of every right minded citizen. Resting on
stable foundations, continuous and unvarying

any law, howsoever that coin may be stamped,

Julian, his manager, gave a dinner
yesterday evening, at which James J.
Corbett was challenged by Fitzsim-

proposes that the fight be to finish

largest purse offered. He proposes
that IL take place before or after the
Corbett-Sharkey fight, or in the same
ring, or at any place within reason
able time after that fight.
When Corbett was notified last night
at Asbury park of Fitzsimmons' chal-
lenge. he simply laughed and said;
"Fitzsimmons is blutiing again. l chased
him nearly two years to get him TO
fight. Now that am to fight Sharkey

him 20 minutes after Sharkey leaves

"We were forced to choose between our
lives and the doing of this deed, and
we chose to live. 1t was Natal who
hatched the plot and executed the
forgery, and now 1t seems that we must
suffer for his sin as well as for our own.
One word more. Ignatio here did not
enter into this plot willingly, but was
forced into it by my husband and my

Dimas made no answer, but at sign

down to offer my last prayers To
Heaven, while Maya wept in her hrs-
bands arms, taking farewell of him and
of her child.
Truly" he said, "you were WISE
wife, when you urged us not to enter
this Country of the Heart. Still, what
is done cannot >be undone, and, having
been happy together for little space
let us die together as bravely as we
may, hoping that still together we may

THE TOAST TO THE EDITOR.
The following is from the Buchano

The following is from the buchanan
Banner, on the reply made to the toast
of 1.-The Editor" at the meeting of the
New York State democratic editors,
held in New York:
Fellow-toilers in the journalistic vine
yard-The life of an editor is not one OF
unalloyed happiness. 1t has its lights
and shadows, its ups and downs, with
its downs in a hopeless majority. The
present occasion is an oasis in the
desert of Sahara.
Occasionally you hear of rich coun-
try editor. An editor who started out
forty years ago without cent is now
worth 100000. His fortune is all ow-
ing to his energy, industry and frugal
ity, and the fact that rich uncle died
and left him $99,995. OF course there
is mint of money in journalism. There
must be, as so little has ever been got
ten out OF it. In Burmah editors re-
ceive elephants in payment for sub
scription. In this country the paper
is about all the elephant the editor
cares to keep in stock. / read the other
day that man had gone twenty-eight
days without eating. The name of the
paper he was editor of was not stated.
We are all democratic editors here
tonight, but looking at it one way it
does not make much difference whether
Congress is democratic or republican.
In either event the editor gets the usual
amount of public documents with which
to light the fire in the sanctun stove.
Yes, editors have much to bother
them, but Mr.. Talmage is wrong wheG
he says all editors are miserable. Some
are dead. Occasionally there is gooi
deal of competition in our business. /
have noticed several instances where s
newspaper in small town had hard
time making living; another is started
to help it starve to death.
1t has been charged that there are
great many old jokes in the newspapers,
but that can't be helped. Newspaper
men are good and die young and the
newcomers in the business don't know
what has been published.
am pleased to notice that with all
our trials and tribulations you still ups
hold the time honored traditions of the
profession. Every woman that ct m
mits suicide 'has lovely beauty every
social gathering is the most recherche
affair." every lady is still beautiful and
accomplished and every paper We
hate is 'our esteemed contemporary
While we may not be rich, most tf

ton.
