[Sidenote: With the Editor]

While much that is interesting has happened this week in connection with
the _Maine_ disaster, little can be even surmised as to the final action
that will be taken by our Government. In our news columns we have given
such statements as seem worthy of repetition, but we wish our readers to
remember that unconfirmed news must not be accepted as fact. Careful
attention to the rumors and reports will, however, enable us to
discriminate between the reports published for sensational purposes and
those based upon actual information.

We have received a number of suggestions from our subscribers concerning
subjects relative to Current History that they would like to have
written up in our paper. We are very glad to receive these letters and
to provide articles to meet the demand. It is a pleasure to us to keep
in touch with our subscribers, and it is, of course, our desire to give
them exactly what they want. Let us hear from you on this subject, and
address your letter to the Assistant Editor.
