tFrom the Chicago Times Hcrald.)
For twenty years no man in Ohio has been
safe from the secret intrigues and perfidy of
Foraker and his followers unless he wore chain
armor or eschewed political ambition There has
scarcely been Republican convention in Ohio
during that time when Foraker has not had to
take the platform and bury his hatchet in hypo-
critical harmony. But in all that time he never
buried it so deep that the handle was not con.
yenient for his next campaign.

Bad management.

While the war office has been trusting to luck,
or 10 the chapter OF accidents or to its rabbits
foot, or to some other impractical agency, the
Philippines problem has been getting itself into
a hard knot. II viii be three months at least
before re-enforcements can reach General Otis,

than rebel bullets, the shillyshallying Of the Ad
ministration is likely TO be to blame for the ur-
necessary loss Of many lives. The Philippine

ncniamin Hnrrison's wit.


Benjamin Harrison has never been noted for
his sparkling Wit or humor, and yet he is re-
ported to have made the whole venezuelan Arbi-
tration Commission smile by remarkins that work
ing four days in thf week was all that ought to
be expected OF ordinary men, and that the gentle
men assembled to arbitrate the Venezuelan dif
fculty were all ordinary men. This delicate bit
OF humor carried the day, and the Commission

The outbreak of hostilities in the Bal
kans looks more serious than at first re-
ported. The seizure of strategic positions
by the Turks and Albanans has all the
appearance of a definitely planned cam
paign. Probably for the present the
Servians are quite able to protect them
selves, but the total population of the
country is only about three millions,
while Turkey alone has an army of six
hundred thousand in service. 1t will be
interesting to see what Russia may do in
connection with the invasion.

They have been trying a new scheme in
California, and it does not work very wei.
1t is law requiring newspaper writer's to
sign their articles, when such articles
tend to impeach the honesty, integrity,
virtue. or reputation, or to publish the
natural or alleged defects of one who is
alive, and thereby expose him or her to
public hatred, contempt, or ridicule." 1t
was originated by two members of the Leg
islature who were smarting severely from
the digs which sundry correspondents and
editorial writer's had given them.
The satisfaction of these Two gentlemen
has hitherto been extremely limited in
quantity and very poor in quality. TIE
law went into effect April 10, and since
that time most of the leading newspapers
of the State have tacitly Ignored tie who
affair, deeming that append ng a signature
TO an article would be virtually an admis-
sion that it was a libel. But one paper, the
Bee" of Sacramento which had vigor-
ously opposed the law, could not resist the
temptation to have a little fun with the
perpetrators thereof. 1t scco. dingly oame

correspondence, and news items signed.
This is the way in which a part of the
news columns locked:

is pretty hard to keep it out OF the houses.

come out, and then there viii not be so much
dust the streets.
EDWARD JOHN DEyIIN.
And this is a specimen CT the matter
which appeared on the editorial page-a
leader, signed with the name OF one OF the
proprietors of the paper:
All there Henry Thcophilus Gage!
Greetings likewise to you Hotspur Valiant
Morehouse,
To you, Grove Lachrymose johnson. the
Neepin' William OF the Valley. royal saaam!
Today, dearly beloved, goes into effect law
grated upon the statute books of the State of
California by parcel of escaped lunatics who.
under the mistaken grace OF God, somehow found
sanctuary in the Legislature
The joint authors of the bill and the
Governor who signed it received copies of
the paper with that paragraph marked.
Soon afterward another California paper
came out with leader signed by the eii-
tor, and reading as follows:
The requirements of the law are stupid and
malicious In the attempt of the lawmakers
to learn the identity OF editorial writers OF the
metropolitan press a burden has been placed
upon every publisher in the State
The law plays to the hands Of the sneak and
the iuformer. 1t is an example OF variegatcd
asinine stupidity, idiotic and infamous; it is
unconstitutional; it IS rotten.
IVAN HENRY PARKER.
All of which goes to prove that it is not
wise TO interfere with the liberty of the
press in the land of the free and the home
of the brave.

newspapers will hereafter present united

There has never existed a political
press in the real acceptance of the
term in Russia. According to immem-
orial tradition, the government of the
car only allows the publication OF
news which is in every respect agree
able to its own views and opinions. In
certain special cases of great i'm
portance, when it is thought nSces-
sary either to excite or to calm public
opinion, the Russian government is a
trifle more lenient. Thus, for in
stance, in 1872, during the wars against
Napoleon l., two newspapers suddenly
made their appearance, and at once
became the recognized organs of the
Russian Chauvinist party, the Russian
Invalid, mouthpiece of the ministry oil
war and the Syn Otetschesva. The
first Russian newspaper dates from the
reign of the Car Alexis Q643-1676). II
was known under the name of Cur
rent News and was only destined for
the immediate encourage" of the en-
peror. The real founder of the Rus
sian press was Peter the Great, who
first started the st. Petersburg Gazette
the official organ of the Academy OF
Sciences, a complete collection OF
which exists since 1714.-Correspond-

Another Religious Sect.

Francis Nichols, of Minnesota, who
has organized a religious sect called
the Brethren in Christ, says that all
the human race, except the 100000 in
his sect, will be eternally lost. The
property of the communicates is
placed in a common fund, Of which
Nichols has charge. All funerals OF
members of the sect must be under
his direction, and his travelling ex-
penses are, of course, borne by the
mourners. Those who desire to keep
in the kingdom" must abjure all dis
play in dress and all ornaments are
forbidden. The members must not
have any friends who are not in the
kingdom, and this rule is said to be
one of the most severe Of all on the
women. No tie Of relationship is rec
ognized, and persons in ones own fam
lily must be Stunned If they are out
side the kingdom.
