PRESIDENT SCHURMAN'S DENIAL

We have received a printed circula:
from Mr.. ]. Gould Schurman, president
of Cornell university, denying he had
ever in a speech or in any other way
made u~nfavorable comments on the
south in the matter of its degree of CIV
ilization as compared with that of the
north. He says a dispatch was sent out
from New York stating that he had
made use of such language in a speech
delivered in Chicago. This is the first
We have heard of any charge against
Ny. Schurman that he had made a
comparison of the civilization Of the
two sections of the country to the DIS
paragement of the south. The report
we saw of his speech was that he said
in effect that the Rockefeller donation
would be used for the education and
civilization OF the south. We have
seen no denial from Mr.. Schurman of
this statement, which is quite different
from the one he has denied making.
Shall he deny having used such lar
guage about the south We will take
great pleasure in giving the same pub
licity to his denial as we did to his al
legged statement that the Rockefeller
fund would be used for the civilization

HARD LINES ON THE EDITOR

Does it ever occur to you that LIE
newspaper man whose duty it is tC
grind out something in the way al
original matter day after day that is
considered worth the while CT the read
ers of his paper to consider may at
times run completely aground for sub
ject matter and for power Of thought
to properly treat such subjects as may
arise in his mind for consideration? If
the general newspaper reading p'ihiic
slider the duties of the editor Of a daily
paper it would be more merciful to-
ward his daily shortcomings. Whether
he feels in tune for writing Or not;
no matter how little there may be that
is of interest to the public in the III
rent events of the day, he has got to
grind out something original in
thought, or pretended 10 be SO in order
to satisfy the public to some extent III
it's desire for all expression of oDioion
by the editor on what are called cur
rem events of the day.
To an outsider the position of editor
may seem to be a mere sinecure. but
take the task for a few days and It will
be found to be something very differ
ent. Over and over again the editor Of
a morning paper sits down to his Gesk
to grind out his stuff for the next
days paper and the agonizing question
comes to him, What shall | write
about? He scans his exchanges for
inspiration. He looks over the te1e-
graphic reports of the day for news of
some important event to be discussed.
He finds nothing which he thinks can
be discussed in a manner to interest
the readers of his paper. In desperation
he plunges into the first subject matter
that comes into his mind and grinds
out an editorial, to find the next day
he is being ridiculed or abused by the
readers of his paper because not a
single one of them has for a moment
paused to think to what DESPERATE
straights the editor may have been put
for matter to fill up his space the night
before or what weary hours he has
spent in trying to find something to
interest or tickle the fancy Of his
readers.

Fate of VIM. Rhodes - Ezra
Baird and A. D.. Greene returned
on Monday last from Rhodes city
whittier in company with quite
number of persons from Lewiston
and vicinity they went some three
weeks since to ascertain the fate of
VIM. Rhodes, Haas Crane and one
Altman who had been gone for
some ten months, and were sup
posed to have wintered at or near
point called Rhodes city. After
leaving Wee-ipe and striking Mus.
sellshell they made the location in
about eighty-five miles, and dis
covered Crane and Altman living
aud Rhodes dead. The party had
been showed in since about Novem-
Der. The snow being at times
forty-three feet deep, their supplies
had run short without any means
of being replenished, and since
January they had been on rations
of flour and coffee. Fresh meat
was obtained in April by the for.
tunate killing of bear by Crane.
They tunneled and dug under the
snow and obtained wood and by
cutting steps to the distance OF
eighty or hundred feet could get
to the top of the snow and keep
their chimney open and protected.
Rhodes, who was comparatively an
invalid sickened early in the sea-
son, and although kind hands did
all they could to relieve him he
expired ON the 18th of June. He
was pioneer miner, having made
many important discoveries and
was reported quite rich at one
time. His body was buried in the
snow by his comrades and upon
the arrival of help was decently
inferred near the spot which bears
his name.
