THE OUTLOOK.

.
There are cheering signs ahead !
The skies are Frightening all around
us. Tho grip of the tyrant is
weakening, and the day-star of u
moro glorious era ia downing in
the heavens. Wherever elections
have been held this spring there
have been the most unexpected and
the most overwhelming successes
for the Democracy. In New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Nilsson
ri and Connecticut, the triumph
has been inspiring and mastery
and they are but the precursors of q
magnificent national victory which
will place this government beyond
those dangers that have not only
EF monaced her, but have rendered
her political liberty q travcaty, and
her splendid name mockory.
ts Tho vantage grou nd being now
occupied by the Democratic party,
it has only to remember ito expe-
riencc in the past, to address itself
with on enlightened brain to the
demands of the future. And what
ever may be it's policy, it must be
based alone upon justice to the
whols nation, and administered
in wisdom, fairness and purity.
Like all political organizations,
the Democratic party has been en-
cumberod by many aammer.d lay
81 adherents, who have reflected no
honor upon ito name and have
given plausibiity to the doubts
and tho questioning Of its advsr.
saries. These time .servers must
q be wccdsd out, and tho doors of

Tho Democratic party must take
its stand before the nation denuded
ofall such aids, if thoy can be called
aids. 1t must renew it's great work
with clear hands. The passions of
the past must not be allowed to en-.
ter into the feryor of the present.
We have made some mistakes /;
We have committed some folles !;
but we have never turasd tho ma
ton into foraging field and put u
price upon its great soul. And now
-s upon the threshold Of . new life,
with every prospect of it's early as
cendency, let the Democratic party
resolve that it will bring, back the
nation to its old landmarks, govern
it with economy, and administer
its laws with justice, and the result
will DO such a political and such a
social change as will make the
American Republic the wonder and
the admiration Of the world.

Rise and Fall of Jay Cooke.
(Frem the Milwaukee Wisconsin,

tFrem the Milwaukee Wisconsin,
Great debts creats-great bankers.
Jay Cooke was one of these bankers
or rather, the giant banker, who
sprung out of the enormous issues of
government bonds in ga and '65.
The rise of the house of Rothschild
was principally founded upon the
profits which they secured to them
selves by floating the vast debt of
England, during and Immediately af-
ter the Napoleonic war. Jay Cooke
was a similar creation, but he has
not been so lucky, for after making
colossal fortune out Of the negotia-
tons of government bonds, he has
been dealing too heavily in the con-
struction of railways, and now hc
has gone down, probably never to
rise again.
Jay Cooke was originally q Phila-
delphia broker who, during the war,
developed remarkable talent in pop
ularizipg government loans; so be
became special favOrite Of the three
Secretaries Of the Treasury, Chase,
Fessenden and McCuIloch, his pres
emit London partner. By an extern
sive system of advertisement, by
which he drew out almost every dol

try. from the Atlantic to the Pacific,

one thousand millions for the gov
eminent in single year, 1864 f.
nancial feat unprecented in the his
tory of nations. An individual who
could establish this inevitably be-
came rich and popular, and for the
seven years subsequent to the war
it is not too much TO say that his
banking house enjoyed more ex-
tended credit than any banking house
in America.
But Jay Cooke was not satisfied
with the profits of ordinary banking
be finally assumed the hercuIanean
enterprise of raising funds for the
construction of the Northern Pacific
Railroad from Duluth TO Puget't

company had determined to so far

siderable alteration before going in

their provisions.

complished at a cost of less than
twenty-five millions.
The Northern Pacific Railroad
bonds were not endorsed by the Gov.
eminent, and therefore they had to
depend. for their negotiation upon
the land grant and the individual
credit OF Jay Cooke l. Co. The
Union Pacific was carried through

alone, but that was not strong
enough to bear up under the great
burden. Mr.. Cook was a popular
banker, because his manners were
agreeable, and he never evinocd that
purse-proud arrogance which too of

or country and his failure Will be
as much personally regretted as that
of any other man in the United

lnasmuch as Mr.. Cook made his
fortune out of the national debt, it
was not be unnatural that he should
feel kindly disposed to the creation
OF debts; and so he has freq uently
appeared as an author on questions
of this character. One of his pam.
phlets, entitled GA National Debt a
National Blessing" was one of those
productions which startled sagacious
and thoughtful minds, because the
is directlyat war with the
teachings of our republican system,
and, at last, Jay Cooke has realized
that too much debt is not blessing.

BLESSED is the bride the sun shines on
Blessed is the corpse the skies rain on. 1"

Blessed is the corpse the skies rain ON
Father David Stiles, in whose life
time over three hundred million souls
passed through the gates of death,
was carried himself on Sunday, to
the city of the dead. At l O'Clock,
10 the rain, the members of the three
masonic lodges of Dubuque, to the
number of about eighty proceeded,
to the house of his son Reuben un-
der an escort of Knights Templar,
and accompanied the remains of the
venerable deceased to the I'd Presby.
terian church. The mournful cort-
eye had been preceded by the Ear
ly Settlers Association, some forty
of whose members, notwithstanding
the Indictment day, had turned out
to pay their last tribute of respect to
their most aged member.
The rain kept many others away,
who would otherwise have gladly
taken q part in the interesting cere-
monies, hence the auditorium of the
church was not quite filled.
After the singing of az appropri.
ate hymn and the offering of pray
er the Rev. l.. A. Ostrander, the pas
tor of the church, who bad been
chosen for the honorable service, de-
livered an eloquent discourse, perth.
ent to the occasion. mere sketch of
which would fail to do it Justice In
part, he referred to the changes
that had taken place throughout the
world during the last one hundred
years and especially the changes
that have taken place in our own
country. The contrasts were very
suggestive between then and now
He spoke of the man who was born
ten years before the Declaration of
Independence was drs fled and, who
with other boys had kindled bonfires
to celebrate the event of it's promul-
CATION to the world. He referred to
those men who were just old enough
to remember the last war with Great
Britain, the war of 1912, as a small
band of veterans looked upon and
respected for their age, and yet Mr..
Stiles was 46 years old when that
war was declared. He alluded also
to the honorable ancestry of the de-
ceased-his grandfather having been
for long time President Of Yale
College. Nor was it forgotten TO
mention his connection with the
church-a membership in the Pres
byterian of 76 years standing; nor
that he was member of the Mason
ic order for 81 years, aud Western
Pioneer for so years. The speaker
said his longevity was partly inher-
tied, but mostly to be ascribed to his
temperate habits, active life and
cheerful disposition. Because he
was a good man he lived long. His
life and character is an example to
all who survive him.
After the close OF the eloquent dis.
course, and while the choir sang 81
would not live always" and other
appropriate hymns, the customary
ceremony of the Masonic order, un-
der whose auspices be was buried,
was gone through with, a part of
which was filing past the casket, and
taking a farewell look at the placid
features of the dead. The ceremony
over, the remains were transported
to the hearse, and from the church
to Linwood cemetry, whore they
now repose in the sleep that knows
