Alexander the Great.

Have We any reliable evidence that Alexander the
Great ever wept, because there more worlds
for him 10 eOnqu.r?
South says, - Alexander, we know. vas much
troubled the s-utine-s of nation ITSELF that there
more wOrlls for him to disturb
Dr. Dwight. President Of Yale College, says, - Al
exaHder sub,IueI aud ruIcl the known vOrlL When
he hal finished his course, hc sat down AMI wcpt,
because there NO other world for him conquer.
And frequently 10 meet with this same story
about Alexander in the writings Of learned and wise
men but what authority i there for the anec,lote;
In an oil Greek Reader j. ane-lots referred TO
Plutarch, n free translation of which I viii give {:
- Alexander once herring AulxIrshus discouTsing
about the plurality of worlds wept ani when his
friends inquired why hs wcPt. he replied. - Have
not suf-ieut for weeping, since, II there are
many wOrIIs, have not yet conquered one -
Valerius has n version of this auesiote. which may
be thus TRANSLATED Alexander was influenced by
an Unsuitable desire Of praise, and when he heard An
axarcIIus relate saying of Dcmocrtus that hsTs ere
iunumcraBIs trorfis he exclaimed. o miserable me,
,rto hare not get iadssi got possession Of one -
In a Latin Reader is found another version Of this
ancctIotc, know not from what author but it 80
nearly resembles the quoted above, that it Is
probably the same, only with the allition that Alex
an,ler WIS a boy when the occurrence took place.
Now where is the evidence that Alexander wept
because there were irOriis for him TO con-
qucr? If any Of the readers Of the Commercial
know of any evidence wish they would produce it

State Treasurer.

We have frequently heard the name Of
Gen. j. NJ. RUsK mentioned as can.
didate for State Treasurer. But it ap.
pears by the following paragraph from
the Sparta Eagle that tho General is not
candidate for that, or any other State
office, at the coming election. This is
rather unexpected aud must be matter
Of surprise to the hosts of warm friends
he has in this district who will much re-
greet bis Withdrawals:
ain speaking of the candidates for the
important and responsible Office of State
Treasurer, many of our exchanges have
declared their preference for our old and
tried friend. Gen. j. NJ. Rusk So gen.
orally has tins expression Of favor to-
wards him for that Office been. that we
had become convinced that he would be
tho choice of the Republican party to
succeed Hon. VIM. E. Smith. Know
ing him as we do, that hs always dis
charges his duties, official or otherwise,
with fidelity, that he is in every way
worthy and competent to fill that Office
with credit to the State aud honor to
himself, be of course is our first choice
for that position, and we should support
him with all the zeal and energy we pos
scss.
''But we regret to have to record the
fact that the General is not a candidate
for tina; or any other place on the State
ticket at the approaching election. Ap-
preciating the honor aud confidence that
the people of the State have shown TO-
wards him in elee.ing and re electing him
TO the Office of Bank Comptroller Of the
State, and with consciousness that he
has served them faithfully in that Office
for four years, the General will retire
from official life at the State capital
While we arc disappointed in the course
pursued by the General, in refusing to be
come candidate for State Treasurer, we
are glad 10 believe that he will soon re-
turn TO his old home in the 9th district.
and become again, as he has been in the
past, one of our most influential and
popular citizens.
This refusal Of GES RISK To become
an aspiraLt for the Office Of State Treas
urer leaves the field comparatively clear.
The only prominent candidate for that
position at present writing, is Mr. LEV
ELLYN BREEsE OF Columbia county. Mr..
BREEsE is a Welshmsn AMI his Repub
Iican countrymen who justly ask for
candidate upon the State ticket as a rec
ignition of psst services, have unani
muusIy presented him as their choice.
Mr. BREEsE has served six years as
treasurer of Columbia county. aud bis
long experience, and thorough knowledge
of financial affairs eminently tit him 10
perform the duties of the important office
for which he is candidate. We should
like 10 see him nominated.

Death OF Henry j. Raymond.

The career Of one of our most emf
uent AMI patriotic citizens and one of the
foremost journalists of the age was
brought TO close by the death of Hon.
Henry j. Raymond, an event which will
OCCASION profound surprise and regret
throughout the country.
Mr.. Raymond was born ut Lima.
New York. in January, 1920. As a
boy he worked on his fathers farm in
summer and in winter rttended school.
At sixteen he was teacher of district
school. In the year 1910 he graduated
at the University of Vermont. Soon
afterward he removed to New York city,
where he studied law and wrote for Gree
ley's paper, the NeW Yorker. Ip>lS4l
he became managing editor Of the New
York Tribune, and soon after editor
chief OF the Courier and Enquirer, per
forming at the same time the duties of
reader for the firm of Harper d. Broth
qrs. In IS49 he was elected to the State
Assembly, was re elected and made
Speaker, and soon after traveed in Eu
rope. On bis return in 1851, he estab-
Iished the New York Times, and in lS-
So, lending its powerful support TO the
uewly-formed Republican party. at once
took leading position in IFS ranks. and
was chosen Lieut.. Governor of New
York; vas delegate to the Chicago
Convention Of 1860; was again elected
to the State Legislature, and in 1864
was elected to Congress. In 1865 he
became prominent figure in the Phila
deIphia Convention, of whose platform
he was the author. But he subsequently
recanfed the errors into which he was
drawn by his desire for peace and com
promise, and has since done good service
in the republican ranks.
He was a clear, ready, forcible writer and
speaker, the largest contributor to ms
own paper: and to his untiring energy,
no less than to his conspicuous abilities,
It owes its success. His death viii inlet
a great loss on American journalism ana
on the multitude of personal friends who
were attracted by his cheerful and happy
temperament.
