GEORGE DENIs0N PRENTICE,

whose death was announced on Saturday,
had reached the ripe old age of So. He was
born December 18th, 1902, at Preston,
Connecticut, and was educated at Brown
University, Rhode Island. Ia 1928 he
became editor Of the New England Weekly
Reriesc, at Hartford, which he conducted for
two years. He then removed to Louisville,
Kentucky, where, in 1881, he became editor
of the Louisville Journal, and has, during
many years, msintainsd the reputation of
being one of the smartest satirists in Amer
les. He was, previous to the organization
of the Repu blican party, the Jealous cham
pion of Whiggery, and later, never seemed
to endorse, in extenso, ultra radicalism.
Though he was the acknowledged champion
of the war, bitterly opposing secession, and
counted . Republican in full fellowship, he
oftimes, by his satirical humor, showed up
much of Radical trickery, and consequently
was much admired by all classes. Both
poet and newspaper paragrAphist, he stood
alone, . representative man. and achieved q
reputation that will never be duplicated.
He was more successful as An original
made him the most gifted man who has ever
adorned the profession of journalism in
America. The brilliancy of his wit, and the
beauty and originality that characterized
most Of his writings, placed him without
rival in the profession. The yigor OF ms
intellect commenced 20 decline dozen
years ago, and he has held only . nominal
connection with the Louisville Courier for
some years past. During the last ten years
his pea has contributed but little to the
current literature of the day. But not so in
earlier days. As poet, his compositions
were remarkable for rithymic beauty, grace.
fulness of expression, and depth of feeling
that was sometimes sad; always pathetic !;
never overdone. As a prose writer, the
glittering keenness of his wit, rather than
the depth or comprehensireness of bis
views, was his most remarkable quality.
Famous in American literature are his
"Prenticiana," which, if collected with
illustrative notes, would form an instructive
and most amusing work, and a complete
mirror of the stirring and exciting times,
during which he has lived, and taken
so important part. Having lived the years
that are allotted to man, with nearly half
century passed in the discharge of editorial
duties, the pen has at last suddenly dropped
from his rapid fingers, and the poet and keen
sstirist is no more, except in the memory of
the many good things he has written. In
one of his own lines, "He, too, has gone to
his eternal resting place

Why should the income tax be repealed ?
Why should the immense revenues wrung
from the industrial classes be reduced, when
the would be nabobs of Grants Cabine. and
their subordinstes at the head of bureaus are
to be provided at the public expense with
carriages, horses, harness, forage, footmen,
cosohmen, and hostlers? Why should the
tariff be taken from the poor mans coffee,
tea, sugar, molasses, and salt when the
families Of Federal oficeholders are to be
furnished With house servants, embossed
note-paper and envelopes, visiting cards,
reception and party cards, knives, scissors,
and the other thousand and one articles
demanded by the follies of fashion and the
extrsvagauce of the times? Bah the idea
is preposterous. The "greasy mechanics
and mudsills" of the country, together with
their families, may suffer and die without
consideration but the demagogues who have
climbed into position upon the shoulders Of
the people must revel in luxury at the public
expense. Truly Radicalism is an i'm pos ision
as terrible as the curse of Jehovah.
