An exchange says, Editors are the
first TO hear gossip or scandal, indis-
erection of men and of women, things
unfit for publication, intrigues, clan
deStine meetings, fiirtati0nS of mar
ried women, night rides, young gone
astray, rumors of married men, and
in fact all neighborhood scandals.
Editors generally know all the
naughty doings in a community, nc
matter how secret, If One-half they
they knew was published there would
he divorce, social ostracism and other
woes there would be shotguns and
gore, Imprisonment, lynchlng, desc
late homes. shame, humiliation and
misery. The editor also learns much
of the hypocrisy OF life and it is a
wonder he believes anything on earth
or in the hereafter. People who abuse
him often owe their standing in soci-
ETY. to his forbearance.

Senator Hubbell Wealthy.

or. Hubbell, formerly of Elkhart
represented Elkhart and KoscluskC
counties in the state senate few
years ago, then went to California and
was elected a member of the senate OF
that state, and died suddenly a few
days ago.
The South Bend Times says he left
an estate of several hundred thousand
dollars. He began his professional Ca
reer under adverse circumstances, and
was made to feel keenly, for years, the
inconvenience but not unmixed evil OF
being poor. In his first effort to en-
ter public life he was rebuffed by de-
feat. That, however, did not discour-
age him to the extent Of causing him
TO be unnerved. He again buckled
on his armor, and succeeded. After
having gotten pretty fair start finan-
cially he moved to California
There wealth literally rolled into his
Golfers. seemingly without effort on
his part. Had he lived few years
longer, with continuation of the
good luck that came to him, he would
doubtless have become a millionaire.

Indiana to the Front Again.

George Barr McCutcheon, the Indi-
ana auther of ''Graustark, has writ
ten new novel under the title, 1.-THE
Sherrods," for which he was paid
$4,000 for advanced copyright, an
amount only exceeded by Rudyard
Kipling, who got 1000 in one case.
The author lays the scenes of his
novel in Clay county, Indiana. 1t is
the story of young farmer artist

marriage secret. He goes to Chi
cago, but his mistake leads him into a
terrible ENHANCEMENT, and the william,
who was the rejected lover, turns into
hero.

large and lucrative practice and was

Those who have read ex-President
Cleveland's speech on the negro ques-
tion will No longer doubt his candi-
dacy for the democratic presidential
nomination. There never was more
adroit bid for the southern vote and
bis assertion that the settlement Of the
racial question ought to be left to the
section in which the negro lives, will
meet universal southern approval.
AS a matter OF fact there are few
southerners who are really friendly to
the colored race. They may like ne.
groes for the work they may do, but
their friendship is altogether a ques-
ton of expediency. A residence for
a few months in the south would con-
vince northern sympathizers that the
southern people would prefer to settle
the negro problem by RELOCATING the
colored race to slavery.-Elkhart

Hanna Still at the Front.

Those persons who were saying that
Hanna's standing 10 the party was
damaged by the recent democratic vic
tory in his home town were, of course,
widely astray. The scepter of suprem-
acy in Ohio politics, it was said, had
passed from the Cleveland section. of
the state to the Cincinnati end. But
the Cincinnati boss, George B. Cox,
shows that this was deiusion. Says
Cox, speaking for the republicans of
Hamilton county: "We are for Hanna
for senator and Roosevelt for Presi-
dent" Hanna's present term will
end in 1905, but there will be no op-
position in his party to his reelection.
and as his party is overwhelmingly in
the predonlinance in bis state, he is
sure of another six years in the SEN
ate.

The unearthing Of vast amount

The chief constructor Of the navy
department has suggested to the sec
rotary that the two new sailing train
ing ships authorized by the last con-
gress be named the Hornet and the
Peacock, and that the training brig
be named the Boxer. The idea is to
commemorate in the navy names con-
nected with gallant exploits in the
past. The Peacock was British
warship which was captured and sunk
by the American sloop-of-war Hornet
after hard fight in 1913. After this
fight Halifax newspaper said: cit
will no. do for our vessels to fight
those of the Americans singlehanded;
they are dead nip 10 this battle
the ships were evenly matched, each
carrying eighteen guns. Congress
voted Commander Lawrence, o: the
Hornet, thanks and a gold medal. and
New York gave the officers and crew
a public banquet and the freedom of
the city. The Hornet did other gal
liant things, and the name Peacock
was adopted and continued in the
American navy for quite awhile. On
Sept. 5, 1914, the British brig Boxer,
fourteen guns. surrendered to the
American brig Enterprise, fourteen
guns, after an engagement Of forty
minutes of the cost Of Maine. The
captains Of both vessels were killed
and we're buried side by side in q GEM
etery at Portland.
