OBITUARY.


Mr.. Charles C. Little, the senior partner of the
well-knOwn publishing firm OF Little, Brown & Co.,
of Boston, died after illness of several months at
his residence in Cambridge to which he had re-
Gently returned from trip to the milder climate of
the South. He has resided in Cambridge for thirty
five years past, and leaves a widow with four
chdren-the former the daughter of the late Hon.
Henry Wheaton, standard writer on International
law.
Mr.. Little was born July 25, 1893, at Kennebunk,
Me-, and had celebrated his seventeen birthday
shortly before his death. He was indeed the archi-
tect of his own fortune, starting in life a boy in a
shipping house in Boston. He sailed to Charles
ton, S. c., spent winter there and then returned
to Boston. He now entered the bookstore of Carter
Hillard Co., and by his invaluable services in time
became partner in the firm OF Hard, Gray Little
a wilkins. He dissolved these relations in 1887,
when he associated himself with the late James
Brown Charles Little Co., and their publications
have comprised some of the first works in this cOun-
try. Mr. Little was President of the Charles River
National Bank atrustee of Mount Auburn Cemetery,
and held other responsible positions He was man
of marked personal and social virtues.

A Movement TO Defeat His Confirmation.

n ID Ills COnfIrmnflOns
Some of the personal and political enemies of
Daniel E. Sickles, in and out of the Republican
party, have been quietly organizing a movement
to defeat his nomination Minister to Spain
before the Senate The charges relied upon are
trumped up from his past political career and
also from his private life None of them are
new, andnearly all of them have alreadyappeared
in certain New York newspaper. General
Sickes seems to have been apprehensiyc of
something of this kind before leaving for Ma
drid. He did not, of course, anticipate anv
serious difficulty when his name should come
before the Senate for confirmation, because he
believed that his friends there would be strong
enough to put him through. He thought it best.
however, to leave the matter in charge of a
friend. which he did. That gentleman wrote to
Senator Sumner a few days ago calling his
attention to the organized attack being
made upon General Siclles, and i'm
reply received a letter to-day wherein
Mr.. sumner after speaking in warm terms
of the ability of General Siclles and his fitness
for the mission to which he has been appointed.
gives assurance that 80 far as he (Sumner) is
personally concerned, he will do all he can to
secure the confirmation of General Sickles. He
also expresses the opinion that there will be no
opposition to him in the Committee on Foreign
Relations, except from the Democratic members
thereof, nor in the Senate, except from the same
side of the house, all of which is to be expected

The MOBILE RIOT, AT last we have re-
ceived another version of the disturbances
which took place in Mobile, Alabama, on the
evening of Thursday last, and we now find
that the first report was grossly, and without
doubt purposely, incorrect. The trouble was
commenced by the appearance at the Repub
lican meeting of a notoriously quarrelsome
man, who opened the onslaught by firing his
pistol. The meeting was twice compelled to
disperse, and when it was broken up the
second time, the crowd of Rebels pursued the
retreating Republicans, firing into them as
they left the scene of murder 1t is about
time that these spasmodic outbursts of trea-
son were put an end to.

RYAN, THE LIBERAToR, has at last accom-
plished something He has administered a
severe horsewhipping to one Day, hisquondam
private secretary, whom he had accused of an
attempt to entice him into the United States,
within reach of the process of the Federal
courts. Men who make as much bluster as
Ryan generally achieve something about as
brilliant and commendable as the thrashing of
an unarmed man within an inch of his life.

REDUCTTON or O1BLB RAyE9

The first result of the successful landing of
the French cable is reduction of the rates
on the old lines, and with the competition
that will be excited we may expect still
further reductions and a corresponding in
crease in the business done by the ocean
telegraph companies. At present the charges
are so exorbitaut that the cables are not en-
ployed at all by great number of persons
who would be willing to pay reasonably high
rates for the transmission of ordinary des-
patches. The Government, wealthy business
houses, and the newspapers are now almost
the only customers of the cable companies;
and these are obliged to use the lines and pay
the prices whether or no. With mulhplica-
ton of the cables the tariff viii necessarily
be lowered and the business will
be greatly increased, to the mani
fest RdYaRtPge Of the public. The peYa-
