The truly great man whose name we place
at the head of this column died on Tuesday
night at precisely II o'clock. The event was
not unexpected, nor unlocked for. He was
prepared for II at any hour, and his friends
looked upon 1t as q thing OF eertainty, as there
is no discharge In that war; Hfs symptoms,
his daily increasing weakness, gsve unmis.
taxable indications that the "old man elo-
quent, ""the great commoner, "wns fast nearing
the goal and would soon pass the boundaries
that separate the seen from the unseen.
Thaddeus Stevens is no more. He lays
down his life in ripe old age, but he has not
lived in vain. The world Is better for his
life because IL has been devoted not to self, nor
to selfish ends, but to progress and humanity.
The cause Of popular education, the welfare
of the poor, the freedom Of the dusky bonds
man, were questions to which he devoted the
energies Of his life. He early saw the rugged
path in which he must go II he would elevate
and bless mankind, and though he was obliged
to tread the wine press alone he trod 1t un-
shrinkIngly, neither taking counsel Of his
fears nor of timid friends. Whom he felt he
was right he moved on, and no threats, no oppo-
sition, no ISLANDERS OF his enemies could deter
him from the advocacy OF a cause that EN-.
brsced within its compass the liberties and
the rights OF man.
He was truly the friend Of the poor, and
what the Quaker poet says of Elliot, the corn.
law rhymer OF England. may truthfuiiy be said
OF Thsddeus stevens:
"Strong armed as Thor-s shower Of hrc
His smitten anvil fung;
Gods curse, earth,s wrong, dumb hungcrs Ire,
He gave them all q tongue
Then let the poor mans horny hands
Bear up the mighty dead,
And labor's swarth and stalwart bands
Behind as mourners tread"
Mr.. stevens encountered bitter opposition,
and his traducers and slsnderers have been
many. He was always on the side OF the op.
pressed, and the believers In wrong and
hoary headed custom did not and could not
understand him. We may say Of Thsddeus
che lived so far In advance Of his age "a to
dwarf himself in the distance."
1t were impossible to recite the many deeds
and noble works Of this truly great man In
tho compass Of a single newspaper article,
and 1t is by no means necessary that we should
attempt 1t. Thaddeus Stevens has made his.
tory for himself and his country, and the i'm
partial historian will do him justice.
MIR. Stevens was born on the 4th OF April,
1872, in the town of Danyille, Vermont He
received his education at the University Of
Vermont and at Dartmouth college. He was
obliged to leave Burlington and the University
of his native State because the British, dur
ing the war OF 1879, took possession Of the
town. hence he completed his collegiate course
at Dartmouth.
Mr.. stevens went early to PennsylyanlA
and by his industry and perseverance, rose to
dlstinetion in that Commonwealth, as all
know. He has impressed his principles and
the force Of his great example upon the insti-
tutions of his adopted State. His career hai
been n long and n laborious one Ii has Al 40
