Carl. ScHuRZ is still hanmeriug
away at an n,i-Graut party, The de-
mocracy is the best anti-Grant party in
the country. Let Carl come to us
We will welcome him and all hi,
friends. We will give him place o.
honor in the household and accept hi,
counsels. This is fair offer, which
Schurz-and all others like him-would
do well to accept, otherwise he will
find himself at sea without rudder
The signs Of the times show conclusive
ly that there is to be no middle ground
in politics-the choice will have to be,
democracy or radicalism, and Carl
Schurz, from his recent course, will be
compelled to choose the former or hold
aloof entirely.

OBITUARY..
HON. JOHN BIoLER.

HON. JOHN BfGLER.
tFrom the New York Herald, Dec. ~
Hon. John Bigler, ex-governor of the
state Of California, died in Sacramento on
Thursday. He was 81 years of age.
John Bigler was born in Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, on the 9Th of JAN
nary, 1904 and was the oldest of twelve
children, ten of whom we're living some
few years since. The father died in the |
fall Of the year 1918, leaving his widow
| and twelve children, most of the children |
| too young to be of material assistance to |
the older brothers, John and William, |
afterward Governors oftwo great States |
Pennsylvania and California. In the
year 1871 John bound himself, with the
consent Of his brother an apprentice to
the printing business, closing his ap-
prenticship in the city Of Pittsburgh,
where he afterward became editor of the
Daily Morning Post
While engaged in editing he prosecuted
his law studies, and was admitted to the
bar in the summer of 1864. In the fall OF
that year he removed to Brown County,
/. ILL.,, where he established a Democratic
paper, and was soon elected Commissioner
in Chancery In the spring Of lS49, after
well authenticated statements had been
received of the discovery Of gold, Governor
! Bigler determined to remove with his
family to California. He left his home in
Illinois in the month of April, lS49, eros
sed the Mississippi River at Warsaw, and
about the lst Of May. On the 9th of May
n he passed the Missouri River, driving four
/, yoke of oxen, on his way for the land o.
), gold.
;. After his arrival in Sacramento, wher,
he has just died, Mr.. Bigler lived in
o. tent, where he laid four weeks with in
tn fammatory rheumatism unable to move
n. AS soon as ne recovered he removed 4
the neighborhood of the Horse Marke,
and, being totally destitute, performed Ia
W, Dor Of every kind that offered so as to OF
he tain means for the support Of his family
no For time he was engaged in haulin
. wood to the city and selling it he the
u. assisted his wife and daughter in maxim
'at bedspreads for C1lcnel Henry. Afte
be ward he was employed by an auctionet
M on the corner OF Front an1 j streets
removing boxes andbsrrcls, to suit Gu
me toners at his sales. He also aided {
ess several occasions in unloading the stcar
no. er Senator.
Governor Bigler's career may be sur
'sai med up thus: He closed his apprentic
ing ship as a " printer boy in 1927, edited
With paper in Pennsylvania in 1928, 30, ,;
and 80; was resident Of Illinois frt

Since the accession of the republican
party to power, the one idea of its ad
min nistration has been Capitalization:
Before that event the presence or power
of the federal government was never
felt in any community. Congress met,
legislated and adjourned, taxes were
levied and the people paid them with
some little grunbling because they
were so-and much as a man in perfect
health lives, mevos and LA- Lis being,
never reminded by aches or pain that
he has a back, stomach or limbs, so the
general government lived and throye,
its workings unfelt by the people at
large. Not so now. All power is be-
ing centered in the government at Wash
itgton Our military president pro-
claims martial law in any district of
the United States with little or no rea
son, and the people look on with in
difference. In civil affairs the govern
ment, is assuming unlimited powers.
We have an educational bureau, whose
business is extended to supervision of
the education Of every child in the
country. And it is now proposed, and
recommended by the president in his
late message, to inaugurate postal tel.
egraph system by means of which the
entire telegraphic business of the couu.
try, now carried on by private enter
prise, shall be associated with the pos
tai service and become the public prop
erty of the government. The scheme
is dangerous beyond precedent If all
the telegraph wires OF the country NAV
be purchased and run by the govern
ment, why not the express companie, ?
They have become necessities TO the
people and are as expensive, compare.
lively, as telcgraphing. All the argu.
ments used in favor Of the latter system
being taken in charge by the govern.
ment, may be applied with equal force
to the plan Of running the express com.
panles as part Of the governmental ma
ehinery. And if these, why not the
railroads? Establish the precedent,
and there is no telling the lengths to
winch the government may not 90. Bu,
ASIDE from its harmfulness as a precc.
dent, the scheme is a dangerous one in
itseii' hembraces an entire change in
the present postal system, or rather ne
cessitates additional facilities to the
service and vast expense to the general
government. Twenty thousand tele.
graph Offices would have to be estab.
ii'hed and twenty five thousand persons
employed to conduct them. 1t is es,i.
mated that it will cost the eoyeynmao,
serenity millions Of dollars to bocomo
possessed Of the present telegraph sy..
em' Under the proposed plan, the rri.
'a@ business Of every citizen, who may
oe compelled to make use of the
Telegraph, would become known to
"e government, and what is now re.
garaed as one Of the blessings of civil
sinon' would be justly felt as one Of
the constituting influences Of a central.
lied government. The vast patronage
which the plan would throw into tho
hands Of the party in power show. the

Poor Eddie he was very near and dear

who was hovering over him, might pass

to be. There is no young man In Cairo
but who may well feel proud to emulate
the many noble virtues that adorned the
character of Eddie NcGee. Honest, up
right and truthful in the discharge of his
duties and Of the trust reposed in him by
his employers, noble and generous in
disposition, gentlemanly in department
courteous in his demeanor, of mild and
gentle manners, most truthfully may We
say,
May the turf rest lightly DER him,
Dear boy Of past and by. gone days,
None knew him but to love him,
None named him but to praise.
