Prom our rejalar correspondent.
Senator. HoarV dsep-laid scheme to
secure some political capital by having
a Seriate committee investigate the
charge of embezzlement alienee1 to have
been committed by SenatorRoach, of
North 'Dakota, fourteen or tifteen
years. ago, has come to crief. In fact,
it is dead. It was killed by a Demo
cratic caucus .of Senators, which
adopted a-resolution against making
an investigation into the career of
Senator before they liename such.
In the discussion in the executive sea
siou held before the caucus, as well as
in the caucus DemfKiratic Senators
made strong arguments against the
nght of the Senate to make such in
vestigations Thev held that as the
authority to create a. Senator restedJjionjisj.
aione wun me otate, so tne amnority
to go into ;i Seuatofs private past
rested alone with the State, and that
the election of a man to the U. S. Sen
ate by a State legislatue was a Miffi
cient certificate of his good character
for the Senate. Had it not been for
the chsjgrin felt by Republicans at the
election of a Democrat to the Republi
can legislature of North Dakota this
investigation never would have been
proposed. '
President Cleveland has notified a
Senate committee that he will send the
nomination upon which he wishes
immediate action to the Senate in a
few days, and adjournment is looked
for next week, unless things take a
very unexpected turn. It will not be
possible to reach a vote upon the cases
of the appointed Senators at this ses
sion. No one. not even the Republicans,
believe that Mr. Acy has any case at
all in his claim to be legally elected to
the seat held by Senator Martin, of
Kansas, but the committee on Privi
leges and Elections reported a resolu
tion authorizing an investigation. It
is not yet certain, however, that it. will
Ije made.
Tite position of Assistant Treasurer
of ifie U. S., at New York, is one of
the most important, from a strictly
commercial point of view, nudur 1 lie
guvenuiieut. lie hiiiidles more money
than ny man in the country aud has
io give a bund of $2W,000, something
thai comp datively few men can do.
Tiie nomination of Mr. Conrad N.
Jtrdaii, of New York, who was the U.
S. Treasurer during President Cleve
1 land's iiit administration, to this posi
1 tion gave general satisfaction, both in
political and business circles.
The investigation of the Weather
Bureau has so far been confined to the
charges against employes of stealing
from the buieau, which have beeii
more than proven by the evidence.
The next charge to be taken up will be
that of violating the Civil "Service law
by employing incompetent nieii ;t
fancy salaries and promoting others
for no belter reason than that they
were favorites of some high official or
his friends.
The opposition to the confirmation of
M-. Ecklvs to be Comptroller ot Cur
rency was' evidently confined to the
Republican newspapers, it did not
materialize in the St n ate, as he was
promptly confirmed this week, as he
would have been last week if somebody
had not started a silly story about his
nomination being the re.-sult of a cleri
cal error. The nomination ivas not
acted upon at the first meeting of the
Finance committee held after it was
made because of that story, the mem
bers" of the committee thinking it
best to wait until 'the President could
be seen before reporting upon it.
The retiring Republican Comptroller
thinks Mr. Cleveland was wise in
nominating a good lawyer to the po
sition, as "complicated legal questions
are constantly turning up for him to

or at least nothing that was of the
slightest value, to the Government,
and he would have had to go all the
same even if he had been Mr. Cleve
land's brother. That's all there is to
it"
The dismissals of Republican chiefs
of divisions in the departments are be
coming quite frequent, und to hear
some of them kick is very amusing.
Every man of them thinks he ought
to have been kept in office. Fortu

Obituary Honsense.
From the Memphis Commercial. '
One of the amiable American ab
surdities is extravagant eulogy to the
dead. To be sure there is something
praiseworthy in the disposition to for
get a dead man's faults and recall his
virtu, even though it require an ex
hausting strain upon the memory ;
but this is something very different
from the lavish profusion of laudatory
adjectives nud the solemn recitation
of imagined virtues which character
ize the American obituary. The sud
den transition from unmixed and un
sparing condemnation, bitter invective,
or merciless ridicule to stilted, funeral
eulogy often presents the trtrwtdudi
crofis con t last..' In a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, corruption puts
on incorruption, the shallow and di-
emagogne becomes a states
man and a patriot, the knave becomes
honest, and the fool becomes wise. A
few days ago we suppose there would
have been absolute unanimity of opin
ion that Elliott Shepard was the most
rediculous person on the crust of the
earth, bar none. There is not a news
paper in the country which has not
said very often that Mr. Shepard
was both a knave and a fool. We do
not recall these harsh expressions for
the purpose of speaking unkindly of
the dead millionaire, but merely to
sho to what ridiculous extremes news
papers can go when. they get into an
obituary moodT Some of these now
agree that Mr. Shepard was a great
and good man ; they tell us that he
was a laivyer of splendid attainments ;
they praise him for his genius and
enterprise as a Journalist ; while the
language is not rich enough to describe
the nobility of hi character. When
such stuff is written of Elliott Shep
ard, what is newspaper praise of a
really good and great man worth ?
Death mav indeed be said to confound
all distinctions when Ellioit Siiepird
is praised for virtues and abilities such
as few of the best of our public men
have possessed. There is no se.ise iu
this indiscriminate praise of the dead.
A dead man, especially a dead Indian,
may indeed have virtues which Ihe
living p-rson did not po.-sess ; but the
privilege of reforming one's life nnd
remolding one's whole character after
one has been put several feet under
t.h srround is distinct lv a feature of
- - mf
our Ainericau institutions. It is but
simple truth to sy that Elliott Shep
ard was never a great anything ex
cept great jassack ; that he was never
so good a lawyer as the average police
court shyster ; that as a journalist he
was beneath contempt ; that as a writer
lie was a more rhapsodical idiot heap
"1 m r 1 1 1 1 th debris of a wrecked and
"i
ruined dictionary with sublime scorn
for sense, syntax, and grammar ; that
be was as bitter and malignant as he
wus f oldish and ridiculous, a mounte
bank in journalism, a fool in politics,
a hypocrite in religion ; and that he
would have "been a very d ulcerous
man if he had not been as destitute of
intelligence as he whs of principle.
A it was, he was like a juggler's ser
pent he possessed all the venom
but lacked the fangs and became
therefore a thing for sport instead of

To Treserve the Memories of Confeder
ate Soldiers and Times.
To this end the city of Rich
mond has given the home occupied by
Ex-Presideut Davis during the war,
lo be converted into a Memorial Hall
and Repository of Confederate Relics
and Personal Records. To each State
of the Confederacy will be assigned
one room in the manim, which will be
furnished us hereafter determined. In
addition to this there will be erected
in the large grounds of the home a
Memorial Hall, in which will be gath
ered relics and records representing all
phases of Confederate service at home
and in the field. Contributions tor
this purpose are askei from every m in,
woman, and child interested ; and it is
the purpose of the manners of this
Memorial Hall that these contribu
tions shall be given as memorials of
Confederates as well as representations
of Confederat3 life and times. There
fore it is the privilegege of each per
son sending a contribution, of what
ever sort, to send it in memory of some
person who was in the Confederate
service. The rapidity with which Con
federate relics are being lost shows
that relics, however t.ifimg. will be of
value. Articles of clothing and house
hold use, arms, uniforms, and all army
materials, newspapers and books pnb-
lished durin
cr
the war, letters, auu
photographs of those times wiil be of
especial value.
The story of the soldiers, and es
pecially of the private soldiers, is being
forgotten. And so it is urged and de
sired that with each article seut in
memory of a Confederate, his full name
aud that of his parents, together with
the name of his State, county, and
command, be giveu as accurately as
possible; and also a sketch of his
army life.
These memorial relics will be pre
served, and these personal recordi will
go on file in the Memorial Hall, and
will not only be of great personal in.
terest for all time to the family of the
man remembered, but also the sum of
these relics aud records will be of great
alue in preparing and illustrating the
history of the Confederacy. And let
not the poor uneducated among the
privates be overlooked. Therefore
their more fortunate and well-to-do
neighbors and friends are urged to seek
out the names aad services ot all such,
and make mention of .them that they
may be preserved. They ask but little
when they ask that their names bi not
forgotten.
In behalf of this good work the
Adams and Southern Express have
have agreed to carry free of charge ull
packages sent through them to the
''Memorial Bazaar." -
Of course funds are needed to carry
out these plans, and help by cash
contributions, and in the shape of all
salable articles in produce and mer
chandise, as well as needle work, eata
bles, etc., which will be received and
disposed of by the "Memorial Bazaar."
Ihe Bazaar will begin its work of
sales e trly in April, 1S03, and in it
each Confederate State will be repre
sented by a table bearing its name,
shield, and colors, and articles received
will be given to the table which may
be designated by the giver.
The-e gifts are each to go in the
nune of some Confederate, and a me
morial sketch of Inoi as indicated
above should always accompany every
such contribution. The name and
address of the sender is also always
wanted.
The value and far reaching charac
ter of this patriotic plan will appear
the more it is considered, and no fami
ly can afford to m gleet its share in
this great work.

Sister Weds a Brother.
Homestead, Pa., April 8. The good
news that the wife had fallen heir to
a fortune wa? accompanied by such a
paiuiul revelation that the marital
happiuess of Mr. and Mrs. Asa Barr
lias been wrecked. They are brothers
aud sisters. Their lifesiory is strange,
and this dramatic climax completes a
real romance.
Tweut-tivtj years ago two waifs,
mother aud sister, were abandoned
by German immigrants at Castle Gar
deli. They were legally adopted, oue
by a man named Aa Barr, the otlurr
by Mrs. Evans. The later moved soon
afterwards to Philadelphia, where she
brought up the adopted daughter, giv
ing her a good education. Twenty
years latter, the boy, grown to man
hood, moved also to Philadelpia. He
become a house painter Jy trade.
It was in the Quaker City that the
brother and sister, bearing unlike
names and unknown to each other,
chanced to meet oue day. Fate mark
ed out their path close together, so that
Asa often saw the girl. He grew to
like her, then to love. His wooiugs
found response in the girl's heart, and
they were married. That was about
four years ago.
During the late strike they moved
to Homestead, where Barr founds em
ployment. The adopted daughter of
Mrs. Evans recently became an heir
ess to considerable property in Canada.
They found Mrs. Barr here and told
her of her fortune awaitiug her in
Canada. But the investigations of
these men led to the discovery that
Asa Barr and his wife are brother and
sister. Both were prostrated by the
revelation. They will at once take
I legal proceedings to have the marriage
1 annulled. In the meantime they will
to Loudon, Out., to get their money.

1 Our Children's Manners.
In training children" in good man
ners, mothers often mistake an over
flow of spirits a natural playfulness
of healthy childhood for rudeness,
and in subduing and correcting these
seeding faults, robs the little ones of
wholesome exercise and a large share of
the sunshine of their lives. There is a I
time for playing, and even noisy out
door sports, that develop the young
muscles and strengthen the fast grow
ing bodies, and children should uot be
deprivedof this privilege of their
childhood. The essential things to be
taught them iu play is to respect each
others' rights, to protect the weak, aud
to be fair even in their sports. Moral
courage should be cultivated in chil
dren by teaching them always to say
boldly aud do bravely what they be
lieve is true and right, regardless of
consequeuceT. -'There is something
knightly in the heart of every boy
something helpful and womanly in the
heart of every girl," and these quali
ties should be developed. The sympa
thies children are quickly aroused,
and can be rightly directed to their
great benefit.
Disappointment.
WllmlDgton Messenger.
Good news comes from the North
west. It is announced that in KanJ
sas, Missouri, and Nebraska, the farm
ers have lost all confidence in the Alli
ance aud the off-shoot of fanaticism
known as the Peoples's party other
wise better known in the South as the
Weaver gang of incapables and plot
ters. The end has come there soouer
than we had expected. The farmers
must put level-headed, honest, capable
nieii in the lead if they ever hope to
succeed. Taking up vicious schem
ers aud aspiring nobodies as leaders
was to wreck the wagon in the first
lane. The organs tooted aud cranks
turned the cranks, and reckless schemes
based on moonshine promises were de
veloped, aud people went mad, and
curses smote the air, aud yet only sor
row, disappointment, bitterness of
soul were the fruits. But the vision
of the false prophets has faded away,
the rantings have died upon the air,
the promises have been torever dissipat
ed, the reign of beardless statesmanship
has collapsed, aud now men wonder at
the past and but only regret they had
been betrayed by such vain boasters
and empty-headed, mouthing dema
gogues. Says the Washington Ecming
News :
"The People' party is evidently
going down hill. The disappointment
of the fanners will be bitter, but the
experience may not be unprofitable.
Politics is good enough as a relaxation,
but unless men have special training,
they should not make a business of it.
There is more money for farmers in
farming."

cyclone struck here to-night aud swept
everything in its path. Thousands
of dollars of damage wus caused by it.

Persistent Misrepresentation.
N. Carolinian.
There has been a peisistent effort on
the part of the leaders of the Third
partv io misrepresent the action of the
Legislature in regard to the Alliance
charter. The truth ought to be told.
The only thing the- Legislature did
about the charter whs to provide that
any man who had put money in the
business agency fund could draw it out
it he desired toT do so. That is all.
Mr. Wm. A. Graham, Trustee of the
Fund,, and all the Alliance officers and
NO 20.
iU-'V

f J 11 li
their attorneys in their speeches said
that they were willing to thi. and as k'J.
matter of fact they first suggested , it
to the committee that was considering
the repeal of the cjar.
of them sav tnat they. voted for or d
vocated this under coercion; that they
were afraid if tluydidn't do so, the
wholecharter would be repealed; and
that it was a wicked thing in the Leg
islature to permit men to draw their
ownjnoney out of a concern they had
helped to muke. AVe do. not believe
any honest in a a can object to the ac
tion of the Legislature. It was jut
aud fair, aud Mr. At water and tvery
other Alliance Senator voted for the
bill as it passed. Now they plead "th
baby act," and try to work up sympa
thy for themselves, bee use they need
to raise the cry of "Persecution" If ,
keep their party from going all to
pieces. The people are uot Jool.s.
They lost thousands of dollars two:
years ago by holding their cotton at
the behest of the Third party men aud
they are now told that the Democrats
are rascals because th legislature
unanimously passed a bill allowing
poor faimers to take their money oat
of the business agency fund if they
wanted to do so. That is all the Leg
islature did. Is that the real cause of
the great hue and cry we hear ? No.
There are two reason:
1. The Third party junta feel the,
need of a rallying cry. If they can
make the people believe they are per
secuted and ill-treated, they think they
can prevent their utter rout aud anni
hilation which is bure to overtake
them. They see the handwriting on
the wall, and like drowning men they
are grabbing at siraws.
2. The Third party men are mad
because they canuot use the interest
011 the business agency fund to propa
gate their false notions and coutiuue
their deception of the people. -
This is the milk in the cocoaaut.
Gladstone.
The grandest sight in the world
day is the picture given us iu the daily
papers of Mr. Giadfttoue standing up
in Parliament pleading for Home Rule,
in Ireland. His utterances are always
luminous and axiomatic. "In the civ
ilised world" said he "no incorporated
union affected and maintained by force
has ever prospered." The opposition
thought the grand old man had left a
gap open, and Sir Michael Hicks
Beach interrupted him with, "Take
thecase of the United States." Mc
Gladstone did not reply by saying. "I
have thee on the hip," but he had him
there all the same, and he quietly repli
ed: "I said incorporate duuioq (cheers).
You missed the essential word." He
theu went on to cite the instance of
Holland and 'Belgium which tried in
corporated union, and after a precari
o is existence of fifteen years, a divorce
was effected Austria and Hungary
tried incorporation, and after years of
sad experience they found -that the
1 . -i . a
choice lay iu giving it up or the em-
pire. Russia incorporated PolamL
"Take your stand thereon if yod see
fit. Let the opposition make it the
model of their operHtioiis," was the re- -tort
of the Liberal leader. It deserve
to rank with the brst and most crush
ing instances of efiective replies ou rs-
cord. Continuing on thu same line
Mr. Gladstone said :
"Unions not incorporated but u'j
tonomous have bseu attended in all
cases with success, sometimes complete
and always considerable Thus Aus
tria and Hungary, binder their present
union, Norway and Sweden, Denmark
and Iceland, Russia and Finland are
illustrations. The most complete suc
cess was the German federation, where
each Stats had its on powers, the
J union only affecting imperial interest.
In the United States each State has its
own rigkts, and any ohe io America
interfering with those rights ould be
regarded asya madman. The colonies
had some points in common with Ire
land. The disaffection once permeat-
j ed them, but a remedy was found in
Uelf-goyeinmeot."
