The editor does more work for
the public, and in his day perhaps
yields as great an influence as any
man Injured to literary labor. But
when he steps from the stage of life
--or oftimes before-his words and
works and wise saws go with him.
There was day when Col. Matt
Galloway, the veteran editor who
died this week in Memphis, spoke
through the columns of his paper
to thousands, who loved to read and
learn from nhim. Now who will
delve into the forgotten stores of
memory, or turn the musty pages of
dusty files, to speak for him! Less
than he has done has immortalized
some men; but the editor, like the
tretful issues of the day or the stir
ring events of an hour, passes away
like a watch in the night, or stale
that is told"

The Maine disaster continues to
be the topic of discussion in the
newspapers, and the special cores
pondents of the yellow, journals are
slaughteriug verbs, adjectives and
adverbs, galore. But when their
windy dissertations are boiled down,
not fact remains to punctuate the
story. The investigating committee
are wisely keeping their own coun-
sci, and Consul-General Lee and
Commander Sigsbee are doing like
wise sand until these are heard from
there will be nothing for the report
ers TO report. The first of the week
the war spirit was rampant, but for
the last day or two it is more sub
dued. There is a probability of war,
but stronger probability of peace.
War, as Washington said, "should
be nations dernier resort" That
is the sentiment of the civilized
world, and though the danger may
appear imminent and the rumors
thick and furious, it is most likely
that diplomacy will prevail and the
privations and expense of another
war will be spared this country for
awhile vet. In our opinion America
is in more danger from enemies
within fthap, foes, without. Com
bined corporate capital is doing
more to precipitate bloody days up
on this country, than, any Maine
disaster or Weyler butcheries. Peo-
pie who have once tasted the sweets
of personal liberty will be hard to
teach to wear the yoke of serfdom,
and unless the middle classes wake
to realization of the fact that they
must curb the strength and limit
the authority of these soulless Great
ures of the law, then indeed, and at
no distant day, there will be a war
in the cities of this country that will
make the French revolution pale In
to insignificance. The Maine disas-
ter is small thing compared to the
disasters to human life and hope and
happiness every day taking place in
this country, caused by the cruel,
tyrannical heel of capital as it
grinds the sweet and life and blood
out of labor, or the competition that
