Death Of a Benetactor of Mankind.
The fame Of George Peabody's
disinterested bepefactions has filed
thu world. And the whole world
will mourn the death Of one who
has conferred such large benefits on
| his fellow men.
George Peabody was borne at
Danvers, Massachusetts, in February
1895. His parents we're poor and
his education was limited. At eleven
yeavs of age be became a grocer's
clerk in his native town, where he
continued uotll be was fifteen. After
this spent year with his grand>
father in Vermont, aud then went
to Newburyport, (Mass. where be
acted as clerk in dry goods store
for an elder brother. He next went
with an uLcle to Georgetown %. C.),
where he engaged in similar busi'
ness. In the year 1914 he became
partner of Elisha Riggs in the
Wholesale dry goods trade, he doing
the business and his partner furnish,
ing the capital for it. The next
year the house removed to Baltimore
where it soon attracted large busl-
ness. Mr. Peabody here laid the
foundation of his fortune. In 1922
branch houses were established in
New York and Philadelphia, and
the whole affairs were conducted by
Mr.. Peabody with great skill and
success. His FIRST visit to Europe
was made in the year 1927, when he
went over to buy goods. After this
he frequently crossed the Atlantic
aud in 1887 took up his residence
permanently in England. Having
with drawn from the firm of Peabody,
Riggs & Co., in 1913 be established
himself in London as a banker, where
he remained in business for many
years. During the last twenty years
he has been greatly noted for his
muni6cent liberality in endowiDg
and supporting various institutions
for the benefit of his fellow men.
Both hemispheres attest his bene-
fcepce. Peabody Square, London
is magnificent donation to the poor
of that metropolis, exceeding any
similar charity ever bestowed. Balti-
more, where MIR. Peabody resided
for many years, was always kindly
remembered, and his gifts to that
city were numerous and large.
Among his latest donations we're
large sums for the establishment of
educational institutions in the South
ern States. His native town, Danvers
has not been forgotten in his bene-
factions, and his ashes are now to be
brought back for iuterment at the
place of his birth. In George Pea.
body the world has seen the rare
example of a successful business man
and great philanthrophist united in
one person. To appreciate the man
1t Is only necessary to compare him
with Vanderbilt, who is building a
monument to himself at a cost of
million dollars. Peabody's monu.
rent is the great and permanent
institutions he has founded for the
benefit of his fellow meu.-Daiy
Oreg0nian.

TIE FUTURE.

NotT,tastanding the jubilation Of
the Republican press over the re
sult of the laie elections in the
Eastern States, the Democracy have
every reason to rejoice over. their
immense gains, as compared with the
returns of last year, and to feel hopes
fol that the time is drawing near
when they can wrest the goyern>
ment from the grasp of a party in
whose haudsit is fast approaching a
state Of bankruptcy, and once more
bring the country to the condition of
unsurpassed peace, prosperity, hap
piness and grandear in whiehNit was
at the time of its transfer to the po-
litical worms that for the last ten
years have been boring at its heart,
until now there remains little else
than the mere shell of its former
liberties and greatness.
The intelligent masses of the nation
seem at length to have partially awak-
ened to sense of their present and
prospective condition should the Re
publican party continue in power, and
are fast returning and swelling the
ranks of the Democracy, as fully
demonstrated by the recent vote in
the States of New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, New jersey, Wisconsin and
Indiana, in which the Republican
majorities have been reduced at least
one-third since the last elections,-
in the former State the entire Demo-
cratic ticket having been elected.
Intelligent men, of the Republican
party now cOncede the fact that
the dissolution of their party and
resumption of the government by
the democracy is simply question Of
time-that time not far distant. In
view of this fact, then, let US bury par,
ty jealousies, and move together in a
solid body against the common enemy,
to the end that peace, good will and
prosperity may again bless the peo-
pie of this now over>taxed, badly
governed country, and the present
horde of government pilferers, rela'
tives and carpet.baggers be washed
away forever.
