tury. He was a man of truth, honor
and many virtues. He might we'll be
described as an upright citizen. We
ALWAYS found him pleasant. frank and
cordial in his manners. He was in
telligen: and well informed. and of
sound judgment and business capacity.
We recall that some fifteen or more
years ago a conversation with him led
us to the conclusion that he was better
versed in his reading than most men Of
our acquaintance engaged in daily bust
ness cares M affairs. He was a de-
cidedly useful citizen and gay due at
tention to discharge OF sue duties as
devOlved upon him in mis- civic relations
and as a friend of humanity. He was
a long time member OF the Episcopal
church and we hope was ready for the
great and inevitable change. His death
was a surprise to US IS to so many of
his friends and acquaintances. and we
were sorry indeed that no more in this

A LIFE WORK.

The Messenger will never lend itself
to misrepresenting and defaming Hon.
William J. Bryan. He is pecked at and
abused and misrepresented every day
by hostile sheets, many of them demo-
cratic. The other day it was reported
he had made a big sum by his weekly
paper. The Commoner. Then it, was
stated that he was about to abandon
the publication. We fear the first state
ment was false and are pleased that the
latter is without foundation in truth.
FIIs paper succeeded we'll and he an
rounces that it is his purpose to con
tinue it Indefinitely. He states in it's
last issue hot it's establishment was not
a sudden impulse. He says:
1T had been under consideration for
several years. j am deeply interested
in the reforms which I have been ad-
vocating and shall continue to advocate
them. My determination to devote my
life to the study and discussion of pub
lie questions was formed before 7 be-
came q candidate for the presidency,
and that determination has not been
changed by defeat. The newspaper
field has been chosen as the one best
suited to his urpOSe and / expect to
own and edit the Commoner during the
remainder OF my days"
He is out of the race for the p-esi-
dency, but he cannot hide his brilliant
hight and soon or late his great abil-
tiles and high character will be recog-
nized by h people. and he will hold
office as governor or IN congress or in
some foreign field or perhaps one of the
