Took Editor at His word.

MEN on newspapers often have pecu-
liar experiences" said W. A. Fairchild of
Chicago, to a writer in the New York
Tribune land such a one befell a friend
of mine some time ago. The friend in
question was city editor of a great daily,
and in the course of his manifold duties
il fell to his lot to take to task one OF
his reporters. The reporter in question
was an Englshman, slow of thought and
action and miserly of speech. Through
the TRADE to which he was subjected he
said nothing, and when it finally ended
he left the presence of his superior with
out any comment. But, as the result
proved he did some tall thinking.
"City editors when 'riled,' as it well
known, are not particularly choice or
economical in the language they bestow
on their unfortunate reporters, and
among other things the Englishman had
been told that he was no better than-in
fact, was-a crazy man, and that his
proper habitat was a lunatic asylum and
not the hall bedroom of a Chicago board
ing house which he occupied. The Eng
lishman took this part of the city editor
remarks as his text and acted upon them.
He promptly went to an asylum, had
himself thoroughly examined by three or
four alienists and secured from them an
official certificate to the fact that he was
sane With this he appeared at the office
of his paper the next day, and, entering
at the city editors sanctum, he slapped
it down before his astonished and dis
mayed superior.
Nov, you go and get one, was his
only comment, and for once that city ed-
itor capitulated."

Carlos Rolof, the new treasurer of
Cuba, was born in Poland fifty-eight
years ago. and came to this country when
a boy. He fought as a Confederate soldier
during the Civil War, and in 1868, upon
the outbreak of the Ten Years war, and
in Cuba, went to that island and offered
his services to the reVolutionists. He
was made a brigadier-general, and after
ward rose to the rank of major-g general,
on account of bravery in action. AT the
close of the war; in 1878, ne came to this
country, and remained until the recent
revolution in Cuba. During the revolution
Rolof served for a time as Secretary of
War of the Cuban Republic, and spent
some time in the United States working
up interest in the revolution and securing
substantial aid from America. Since the
American occupation of Cuba, Gen. Rolof
has been connected with the fiscal branch
of the government.

Mr.. Bryan is not pleased with the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Wells, Gold Democrat, as
Mayor of st. Louis and he takes occa-
sion to say so in the last number of his
paper, The Commoner. He calls his ar
ticle in which he comments on the cleo
ton of Mr.. Wells "a Disastrous Victory"
In the course of it he says: I'm the eiec-
ton of Mr.. Wells as Mayor of st. Louis.
the reorganizers have scored a triumph.
The Democrats of St. Louis and Missouri
will, however find it worth their while to
calculate the cost of the victory and
prepare for the struggle that awaits
them" Further along in his article Mr..
Bryan says: ';Mr. Wells was not nomi
mated because the reorganizers were es-
pecislly interested in a good municipal
government; he was nominated because
he represents a corporate element which
calls itself Democratic, as a matter of
ha bit, but gives its pecuniary and politi-
cal support to the Republican party. II
win never be found supporting a Demo-
cratic ticket unless that ticket is Sc
lected and controlled by those VINO have
some special privileges which they desire
protected by the government"
In closing his article Mr.. Bryan says
that the ST. Louis contest was not
purely local one. If it had been The
Commoner would have taken no part in
it. 1t was a part of scheme, national
in extent. to Republicanze the Demo
cratic party. 1t was for that reason that
The Commouer opposed Mr.. Wells. In
closing his article Mr.. Bryan says: The
election of Mr.. Wells was disastrous
victory for the Democracy of St. Louis
and the nation"
Mr.. Wells did not support the Demo-
cratic ticket in the campaign of 1900. but
it was not for that reason that Mr..
Bryan used the columns of his paper
to defeat him. He opposed him for the
reasons set forth in his article. Mr.. Bry-
an does not believe that the Democratic
party needs reorganizing, particularly
along lines in harmony with the views
of Mr.. Wells.
