The New York American of Feb I2tb, has a picture clear across a vhole page, of different poses of Earl Reynolds, the one time champion skater, formerly of Rensselaer. The picture givet* him in five different positions. Che article which accompanies the oiotures, mentions how Earl won everything in sight as a skater six years ego, and states that he had not been skating in races any for several years. He began a little pleasure skating this winter, however, and fount that he could kim over the ice as fast as ever. Tence be has challenged John Neilss-m, the champion professional skater of the world.

Seven or eight years ago prao tically all Democrats and a large portion of the Republicans, believed Mark Hanna, of Ohio, to be a low browed, coarse, - selfish schemer, an oppressor of the com mon people, and altogether a man to be feared, hated and despised ■ v hen be died he was known b tt to be exactly the opposite of tdUhis Ha was known to be a man of noble presence, and whose attractive countenance was made absolutely beautiful by the goodness, benevolence and all-embrac ing amiability that irriadiated from it He was known to be a friend of the common people and not their oppressor, and known also as an open-minded, open-hearted leader of men; and as unselfish a man as could be f und in public life today. The American people should take a lesson from this case not to form their opinions of men active in politics from what they are depicted to be by the opposition. - bove all they should learn how wickedly, cruelly false and vicious are such-newspapers as Hearst’s American and Pulitzer’s Wor d. which were main y responsible for this wholly erronious conception <>f what manner of man Mr. Banna ready was.
