What In an Editor2

The editor is the man upon whom
we rely to preserve the standard Of
literature. Without editors. orthogra-
ply. etymology. syntax and punctua-
ton would soon fail. The beauty about
editors is that they are independent
and uncompromising. They yield moth
ing to the rabblc for the sake of prof
it's. If they print blood and thunder
stories. musiy love tales and plati-
tudinous essays, it is not to make
money. but merely because they know
that if the public doesn't get this kind
of reading it will find. worse mischief
elsewhere.-Life.

 New York. Dec. s1.-Appropriately in the judgment of Wall Street the year came to an end with a marked dimunution of the strain on this country's foreign relations. The re- sponse of Austria to the Ancona note served as a stfmulant to conservative as well as speculative sentiment.
 This condition found immediate and constant reflection in the tone of the market, which opened with consider able breadth, strength and activity, gathering momentum with the progress fthe session.
 For the first time in several weeks the list plainly denoted absorption of an impressive and substantial charact- CT, even though some spectalties are unduly active.
 Aside from the improved foreign conditions, there were other encourag- ing developments. such as additional brilliant railway statements, a further advance in refined copper to 23 cents for delivery far into the coming year, and reports from mercantile agencies respecting the promising business out look.
