John S. Murphy.

Late Monday evening brief telegram
was received at this office announcing
the sudden and unexpected death of
John s. Murphy, editor of the Dubuque
Telegraph Herald. We have no partic-
ulars, further than the fact that Mr.. Muir
ply died suddenly in the editorial rooms
of his newspaper.
During the past quarter of century
Mr.. Murphy has been q growing power
in the affairs of the state. Ever striving
to be of benefit to his fellow men, ever
striving to more nearly approach the
right, he continued to strive on till the
end.
He was richly gifted writer, who
could be relied upon at all times to do
all in his power to safeguard the rights
of the masses of his fellow countrymen.
With him his life struggle was more
than personal contest, it was q sacred
duty he owed to his children and to the
children of the nation, and inspired by
such lofty purposes he became con-
trolling force in the politics of his party.
His friendships were generous and
large hearted. His friends were his
Jewels, and as such he priced and de-
Tended them. He was also lover and
friend of his country and its institu'
lions. He leaves a life work which will
long be felt as an encouraging influence
to others who may strive to better thu
lives and conditions of their fellow
men. He has passed to the presence o
God.

Agreements Making for Peace


Within the past year there have been
friction between some of the European
countries which 100 years ago would
have precipitated a bloody war. The
time is passing slowly but surely when
a ruler can plunge his country into con-
tlict because he has received slight or
because his soul lusts for war. In q
a practical sense, if not an altruistic
one, the world is becoming nearer one
brotherhood of man. The maze of agree
ments and counter agreements made be-
tween the nations of Europe, though
conceived in selfishness or terror, have
all been making for condition of uni
versal peace.
