At 4:45 o'clock on the afternon of March 18th, the spirit of ex-President Hajrison quietly and painlessly passed beyond the boundary line which marks the known from the great unknown world. He was probably one of the greatest among those who have occupied the highest executive position within the gift of this nation a man equally as quiet out of as in the political world. The following clipping from the Char lotte Observer mentions some of the habits that constitute the intrinsic ele ments of his high and noble character : In the death of ex-President Benja min Harrison the expected lias happe n ed. He had lived a life of honor and usefulness and goes to the grave as a shock ripe for the harvest. He had nearly completed his three score and ten years. His constitution and habits hav ing been what they were, he might have, in the absence of an attack by any :,e rious malady, lived yet a few years long er, but in the course of nature death could not have been much longer defer red and one of his age may well look ! with dailv expectancy for the beckon- I ing sign of "the pallid messenger the inverted torch, it seems an un happy circumstance that- a man enrich ed with all the years of accumulation of wisdom and experience of General Har- I rison, and equipped as he never was be- fore for usefulness to his fellowmen, I should suddenly perish from the earth ' and all his rich endowments with him. !

So much in praise THE BOER WAR AND OOM PAUL. Paul M. Botha's Estimate of the Ex- President. The war in South Africa appears to be drawing to a close ; in fact it is said negotiations for the surrender of the Boer forces are now under way. Eng land lias paid a stiff price iu blood and treasure for the suppression of her mis guided enemies, hut her burdens are of course not relatively so heavy as those which the latter will be called on to bear. With these facts in view, it is often asked, how can any citizen of the republic fail to sympathize with the enemies of Great Britain? Personally, or as individuals, they aro entitled to the sympathy of the civilized world, for they are a sturdy people under the leadership of designing men, just as people in this country have been in re cent years in politics, and in this con nection one of the saddest features of the break-up in South Africa is the fact that ex-President Krnger, who steered his people into their present trouble, is ou of harm's way with his pockets well lined with Transvaal gold. This instance also furthers the parallel with a feature JONATHAN AND THE JACK-KNIFE A Modern Fabie That Does Not Need the "Moral" Appended. Jonathan, an uncommonly well-grown lad of 15, one day found his small next door neighbor, Juan, fighting with Car los, a little boy from across tha street, over a jack-knife, which each of them claimed. Jouathau, after pretending to examino the ground of the quarrel, bel lowed out that the knife belonged to Juan, and that come wliat might. Juan should have it. Then, as an evidence of good faith and disinterested friendship, ho began stripping off his coat in order to join the fray. At this moment along came Prof. Morton and the Kev.

J Dr. Lyman Abbot is reported to have ' said that i6 is of little importance what one reads at first, if only the reading habit may be acquired. This is almost equivalent to saying that it makes no difference whether a child form a good habit or a bad habit. For our part we think it infinitely better that the child should never acquire the reading habit than that it should acquire the habit of reading vicious books. The boy who the distasteful do they become to the great Democracy of the country, and by the that another presidential year comes round the Democrat will be ready for a change. But the Democrats do not like Popu lism any better than they like Republi canism. Indeed, many Democrats are more afraid of Populism than they are of Republicanism, because they have tried Republicanism and know that it is not disastrous to the business interests of the country, while Populism is an untried quantity, threatening to overthrow all our business institutions. But if the convention will only adopt a good Dem ocratic platform, such as Mr. Hill has outlined, and nominate Mr. Hill, or some Democrat like him, Democrats from all over the country will rise up as one man to support the platform and the I ticket and the party will score the great-. est triumph of its history.

As soon as the Treasurer discovered the theft he sent for Martin this morn ing. He also sent for ex-Treasurer Wortlf and the president of the bank in vhich thett particular funds were kept All these .rent to the Auditor's office. It is said that Martin, who had been a clerk in charge of the books of the State in stitutions, knew five days ago that his thefts had been discovered. To-day he called tho bank president out of his room and made full confession to him He said he had been stealing over a year, but probably that time was suggesteo by a remark made by the Treasurer that the frauds had been discovered reaching back something over a year. Martin told the Treasurer and Auditor that nothing was wrong with any accounts other than that of the penitentiary that there he did all his stoaling. The investigating by the Treasurer only goes back a vear and it may be there was stealing before then. - Martin said that he did not intend to be sent to the penitentiary. Some con strue this to mean that he will commit suicide. One official said his word was worthy of a crazy man. Of course Mar tin could have left. He is under 20,000 bond in a surety company. He was ar rested on a bench warrant, and required to give 4,000 bail ; could not give it and at 7 ;30 was jailed. He was during the civil war a major of a New York regiment, and moved here in 1865. He was for many years of Kruger has been published, notwith standing his cowardly action in desert ing his duped countrymen in tim of need, that a little testimony from the other side is not without interest. Har per's Weekly recently published Paul M. Botha s estimate of the ex-President. Botha was a member of tho late Orange Dree btate oliLsraad for Kroonstadt, and is the citizen whom General DeWet threatened to shoot on right for an ap peal he made to the Boers. He says : 'I have been told that there ple in Europe, in England and m Amer ica who admire Paul Kruger, I can un derstand our ignorant Boers being mis led by a man of powerful personality, who knowing them well, can play upon ineir weaknesses and prejudices like an expert player on the strings of a violin. But that Oom Paul should dupe well-educated people, that I cannot understand. The only way I can explain this myirte- ry in inai a vcu oi romance nsis grown around this rugged old man, and that fcurope, being 6,000 miles away, accepts him as seen through tho eyes of hi.s duped burghers. . . . Let me tear :his veil of false romance from him and let me try and show the man to yon as he really is, and as those Boers whom he has not succeeded in duping always knew him to be. We know him an av aricious, unscrupulous, and hypocritical man, who sacrmced an entire people to ins cupidity. His one ami and object was to enrich himself, and he used ev ery means to this one end. His ambi tion for power was subordinate to his love of money. He used the Transvaal as a milch-cow for himself, his children, and his following."

The dispatch con tinues ; "General Harrison and bis son have been estranged since the re-marriage of the former, and Major Harrison's friends donbt that he will nuike any ef fort to heal the breach, even though he were certain that the hand of death threatened to separate them forever. "When ex-President Harrison an nounced his intention of marrying Mrs. Dimmick," said one of Major Harrison's acquaintances, "all the children warned him that should he do so they would never speak to him again. Russell for one has kept his word." Major HarriAon did not reach Indian apolis in time to effect a reconciliation he had desired to do so. A cruel and unnatural son.
