Does Not Trust Bryan.

Enquirer Judge S. +. Steele, Demo-
crat, of Hillsboro, Ohio, who was cleo
ted twice in Republican district, was
at the Gibson looking after a law case
in the Federal Court. He says that
the Democrats need not abandon 16 to
as lost cause, but they must not
make it the issue in this compaign.
He says the paramount issues of the
campaign will be, or ought to be,
antitrust, anti-imperialism, and the
administration. He is an ardent
admirer of Mr.. Bryan, but says the
Nebraska statesman need not an
nounce the platform in advance, as
the Democrats in national convention
assembled will in their wisdom con-
struct a platform he can stand on
with safety and success, and that
can be brought forward in the
future at an opportune time, but this
is not the time.

1t is very tlattering to the NEWS
HERALD that its editorial paragraphs,
should be found attractive by the ed
itors of it's exchanges, but those who
are so liberal in helping themselves
to our bright things owe it to them
selves and their readers not to palm
them off as original. Anything worth
copying is worth crediting: yet lit
tie paragraph purporting to describe
an incident in the Kentucky printing
Office of Col. Bourbon M. Julep, and
which was originally printed in the
NEWS-HERALD two weeks ago, has
been going the rounds uncredited.
We have seen it used by number of
exchanges, invariably as original mat
ter, the latest offender being Lon
Bell, of the Blanchester Star, who is
certainly old enough and newspaper
man enough to know better. And the
ridiculous evidence of misplaced con-
fidence we printed about the approach
of spring, as Indicated, among other
things, by dogs playing horse in the
court house yard, is travelling around
and doing thankless duty in towns
where there never was and in all prob
ability never will be court house
yard-Peebles, for instance. This
treatment is very unclublike: but as
long as editors will do that way it
can't be helped
