THE FUTURE OF CUR EX.PREsI-
DENTS.

The fact that Mr.. Cleveland is being
urged for judge of the Court OF Err
rors and Appeals of the State of New
Jersey has caused a revival Of the old
question Of, what to do with our ex-
Presidents. The subject Is one which
has often been discussed without re-
suits. and from all that can be gathered
n solution of the matter is MS far
off as ever. However. as there is no
pressing need that 1t should be solved.
perhaps It can wait while longer. There
have been any number of suggestions,
but none seems TO fill the bill Dut after
all Is the public displaying any very
great anxiety over the matter. or is it
simply the workings of friends who de-
sire to see the distinguished gentlemen
fixed" And do all cX-Prcsidents do
serve anything more ut the hands of The
public than they have already received :?
In this great American republic there
Is something which they might do with
profit alike to themselves and country
and that Is. to strive to become good
citizens. They have n far better chance
to attein influence and power and emf
nent position than the average citi-
zen, and in that regard they at least
have the advantage. The true way IS
to abide by the precedent set by Wash
,ngton, who retired to the shades of
private life enthroned in the hearts or
MS countrymen. There need be no fear
that any of our cX-Presidents who are
really great men will ever fall into OBJ
sourity-neither place or position. simply.
can make them great, or add to their
tame. There are some men who, after
beiiSs elevated to high positions. so press
their individuality upon public affairs
that they live in the memory OF their
countrymen even after they have passed
away, and this country has produced 4
number Of them. Such men need no
trappings to make them great.

THE RECENT FAILURES.

1.-THE advance agent of prosperity" was
triumphantly crowned as president-elect
on the 3rd of November by the grace of
the bankers, syndicates, trusts and com
bines. And now bank failures are as
common as lynchipg frollcs in Kentucky
so common in fact that the average tele-
graph editor is beginning to classify
them under the head of "condensed news''
or "minor brevities." Comptroller
E ,kels gracefully ascribes these disasters
to "slow assets OF which ready money
can not be readily realized" In other
words, as Mr.. Bryan repeatedly and i'm
pressively said during the late mem
orabe campaign of education, with dol
lars steadily approaching in value and
all other forms of property depreciating
in the same proportions, no assets are
safe except gold dollars, and We fancy
that the banks are beginning to realize
the truth of this proposition very
much to their sorrow. In this connec-
ton we can not refrain from limiting that
the assurance of all these broken-backed
banks that "our depositors will be paid
in full" is rapidly assuming the pro-
portions of huge chestnut.

the large monte and roulette games are

both male and female, the latter being
made up of some of Ell Paso's society
ladies, who would not wipe their feet"
on an Ell Psso gambler; but they go to
Juarez and mingle with the gamblers of
that city by patronlzing their games and
making gamblers of themselves by in
dulging in the sport. This statement
can not be galnsaid. And more. case
of gambling by young school girl of Ell

shocked if their names were put in print.

DEATH OF M'GULlhGH.
o. K.

The news of the tragic death of Joseph
B. McCullagh, for many years editor-in-
chief of the st. Louis Globe Democrat,
recorded in the Geographic columns of
ssddened many hearts throughout this
broad land and caused many New Years
greetings to be uttered in minor key.
McCullagh had easily distanced all of his
able and industrious rivals as the peerless
paragrapher and mastery manager of
western journalism. The Globe Democrat
is his noble and enduring monument as
is the New York Tribune that of Horace
Greeley. But in making the Globe-Dem-
ocrat what it is, an almost ideal news
paper, McCullagh freely poured his very
life blood into his work, and finally flung
himself out of his bedroom window and
welcomed death on cold pavement rather
than longer suffer the unutterable tor
lures of the complete nervous prostitution
that resulted from weary years of over
work. Few people realize, when they
pick up their bright, crisp and carefully
edited morning paper and eagerly sean
its teeming columns for the particular
news that interests them, what it costs to
produce one of our great seven-day-a-
week newspapers, with special work be-
slowed upon holiday editions. The fact that
the life of the average managing editor Is
only seven years in action gives clew to
the cost. Poor, brilliant, generous, nm
firing McCnllagh inundated himself on
the altar of daily journalism as literally
as ever a sacrifice was offered in ancient
times to crafty the nostrils of the gods
with an "odor of sweet SMELL" He has |
gone to country where sleep is un-
troubled and rest is uninterrupted. Adios,
