Wi'
I* Iowa editor has the followin
to say of the rewards of a hare
working editor of a newspaper: "1
is one of the most difficult mattei
in all human experience to guag
the editorial work or influence of
newspaper. As a rule the edit*
never hears directly from his wor
eaeept in a case where a critioisi
asay provoke a retort He may pi
oat colamas of best thought ia s
political campaign, and get little
estimate of its value except through
an occasional kick from the opposi
tion. Ue may spur his wits to their
best endeavor in keeping local
interest to the front, and receive no
especial sign of recognition. He
may carefully and skillfully gather
up and present the developments
within his local field, yet aside from
tho fellow who happened to be
missed, the public is ‘silent and
silent all*’ He may strew with
choice flowers the paths of the
bridal party, bring myrth and in
cense to the bier of the departed;
bind up. the hearts of the sorrowing,
and on all occasions endeavor to
write ‘words fitly spoken’ which ‘are
like apples of gold in pictures of
silver* without the faintest expres
sion—except, perhaps, a suggestion
as to a wrong figure or a turned
letter that may have appeared in
the work.”
SCHLATTER THE HEALER.
It is now about two years since an
unknown and humble cobbler of
Denver by the name of Francis
Schlatter blossomed out into a
divine healer. He first attracted
general attention by the large fol
lowing he had among the Indians
and greasers in the vicinity of Albu
querpue, N. M. Now the news
comes from El Faso, Texas, of the
finding of bis dead body in the foot
hills of the Sierra Madres, thirty-five
miles southwest of Oassa Grande, in
the state of Chihuahua, Mexico.
There seems to be no doubt that he
died from voluntary fasting.
The career of this man was cer
tainly remarkable. The mode of
his death wonld seem to subserve
two purposes of explanation: First,
that he was not an impostpr; second,
that he was insane instead of being
under divine guidance. It is not to
be supposed that an impostor would
carry his make-believe policy so far
as the death point He might pre
tend to fast, and perhaps actually
do so, for the purpose of imposing
upon a credulous public, but in this
case the abstention from food was
carried so far as to be convincing
evidence of his sincerity and his'
insanity. It is not to be supposed
that divine influence ever led any
man to commit suicide, either by
starving or otherwise.
It is not unlikely that a strong
resemblance to the usual pictures of
Jeans of Nazareth set poor Schlatter
to brooding over himself, and finally
turned his head. There is no doubt
the likeness was striking. Nor is
there any doubt that he wrought
many wonderful cures. How much
of hiB healing potency was due to
the faith of the patient and how
much to the potency of the healer is
one of those questions which from
the naturo of the case can never be
answered. It is undoubtedly true
that his death is much to be de
plored. He occasioned, in some
way, many cures, not, perhaps, of
serious maladys, bnt certainly there
were many sick persons relieved by
him, and even if the relief was not
permanent it was beneficial for a
time. No doubt a good many peo
ple imagine themselves to be sick
when all they need is to be disa
bused of that idea. Whoever can
rid them of the delusion is a verit
able “healer."—Inter Ocean.
BIMBXALISX ABROAD.
It is not easy to find mnch en
couragement tor the oanse of inter
national bimetaUsm in recent devel
opments abroad. The visit of the
American commissioners to France
appears to have elicited nothing
more than an expression of sympa
thy with their mission from mem
bers of the government Some of
these, and notably the prime minis
ter, are pronounced bimetalists, but
they do not seem disposed to favor
any advance action on the part of
I the government They are friendly
to the proposition for an interna
tional conference, bat they are not
[ willing that France take the initia
- tive. Nor, so far as appears, are
1 they at aH hopeful of any practical
i result from such a conference,
i They know that nothing can be
i done without England, and there is
r not the least reason to hope that the
c British government will show any
i favor to international bimetalism.
b The annual meeting of the British
bimetalic league, at Manchester, was !
marked by optomistic expressions.
It was said in the report to the
league that never since 1873 have
the prospects for international bi
metalism been so hopeful as at
present, and while some of the most •
prominent advocates of this policy
were not present at the meeting
they attested by letter their devo
tion to the cause. One of these said:
“Our object will be gained if the
United States and France, or some
other great commercial nation, agree
to carry the matter through, even
without England.” If this is the
general feeling among English bi
metalists it is evidently not shared
by those on the continent. These
are agreed, according to all reports,
that for the success of an interna
tional agreement regarding silver
the acquiescence of England is
absolutely necessary. Even so
ardent a bimetalist as M. Meline of
France is understood to hold this
opinion. So far as we know there
is no one in Germany of any influ
ence who believes th-it any plan of
international bimetalism could be
made successful without the sup
port of the British government.
Perhaps the sentiment in favor of
bimetalism is as strong today in
Europe as it has ever been, but
there is no evidence that any of the
governments are more favorable to
it. Undoubtedly if a conference
were called by the United States, no
European nation which might be
invited would decline to be repre
sented in it, but there is no reason
to believe that such a conference
would not end as those which have
been held ended—without any prac
tical result—Bee.
