Hyde's father was the founder Of
the Equitable society and through

activity he accumulated q fortune.
He was one OF the old school OF
business men who made their own
way and reached financial indo-
pcndcncc through their own excr-
tons. But he failed to develop
the right sort OF stun In his son.
Instead Of insisting upon rigid
discipline and instilling into him
some Of the paternal qualities Of
sturdy manhood, the elder Hyde
allowed his son an extravagant
allowance and INDUCED his every
within. The result Of this neglect
In character building was that Al

Katsura and Marquis Ito are the recip-
tents of numerous protests and memorials
against the versions of settlement Of the
war as given by the newspapers.
The Yorozu Shimbun, an independent
radical newspaper, attacks the peace
pact, opening its criticism with the
words "Arise, brethren !" 1t then re-
views the agitation for representative

They declare that the peoples quick
action alone will prevent national dis
grace after record Of brilliant victories
on land and sea. "Otherwise," it says,
"our brothers who have been killed in
the field have died an inglorious death. "
A remarkable absence of rejoicing is
one of the most striking features attend
ant on the receipt Of the news that
practical conclusion Of peace has been
reached.
The kind of reception that awaits def
mite news will depend entirely on the
nature of the terms. 1t is generally
feared that extensive concessions have
been made by Japan. 1t has been gen.
orally expected by the public that there
would be rupture at Portsmouth, in
view of what was termed Russia's OBJ
duracy in refusing the payment of iu-
demnity.
In the absence of official confirmation
of the terms it is impossible to form
final opinion, but the indications are
that nothing wilinsure peace with terms
that are not honorable.
The morning papers are generally
angry, and say that peace obtained on
the terms reported is a humiliating one'

Cholera.

Forty-three cases of cholera in all
have been reported in Prussia. Nine
persons have died from the disease and
fully / 200 suspicious cases are under
observation. The legal and medical
machinery for dealing with this invasion
of the Asiatic bacillus is now working at
full pressure.
That entire precautions shall be taken
to prevent bringing in a case Of cholera
amorg immigrants from German ports
was agreed Yesterday at conference be-
tween Health Officer A. II. Doty, OF
New York, and the Representatives of
several transatlantic steamship com
panies. The plan is said to be to exer-
else great care in taking the immigrants
on board ship in German ports. The
discovery of a case of cholera in Ham
burg was the cause of the conference.
DIR. Doty said after the conference that
he had no reason to think that cholera
would get to New York, considering all
the precautions being taken.
Dispatches from Washington say that
the health authorities are not apprehen-
sive over the outbreak Of cholera IN
Prussia. Surgeon-General Wyman has
already taken measures to prevent the
spread of cholera from Germany to the
IJuited States by ordering Passed AS
slstant Surgeon Mclaughlin, now sta
toned at Naples, to proceed immediate

Newspaper Libel Suits

The publishers of The Brandon
Union have won the libel suit recent
ly brought against them and are to be
congratulated. Newspapers usually
win in such cases, for it is seldom
indeed that an injurious or offensive
publication is made through malice
or that a correction is not freely
made if requested and shown to be
due. From the very circumstances
of their publication newspapers are
likely to make errors and it is an
evidence of the careful work of those
concerned in their publication that
errors of consequence are so few.
Only the outlaws of the profession
would be guilty of deliberately
malicious and injurious publication.
In the case of The Union, no request
for retraction was made. The mat
ter complained of emanated from an
interested party in the case under
consideration. 1t may or may not
have been correct. Some men take
delight in leading newspapers into
error or inducing them to print some
thing for which they are not willing
to be personally responsible. A
newspaper that has acted in good
faith ought not to be punished for
the deceit practiced by its informant.
