FRANK p. BLAIR'S FORTUNE

81. Louis Republican,
There are only three lines, but they
are worth reading
Letters of administration were granted
to James L, Blair on the estate of Francis
P. Blair, Jr deceased, valued at $500.
To live fifty-four years and die worth
$500, is not making the most of ones
opportunities, as times go. Francis P.
Blair was evidently not the man for the
times as times go, that is, if man is to
be measured by the money which he
makes out of the times, He ought to
have been rich mana very wealthy
man-and would have been if he had
followed suit with other public men.
He had the opportunities, thousands of
them, but he seems to have missed them
all or passed them by for he lived to be
fifty-four years old and died worth $500.
Hewas the brains, blood, bone, muscle,
life, of a great political party in this
State for years, and when it was the SUI
preme power in this city and county
1t does not appear, however that he
ever made any money by it. He was
three times member of Congress, and
at the beginning of the war was in such
position as Chairman of the Military
Committee of the House as to have com
manded the pick of contracts and his
own selection of war slush, He was
singularly remiss, however, in making
haywhile the sun shone, Then he was
made a general; but there was not much
money in being a general such as he
was, for he was always pounding away
at the front, getting more "kicks than
halfpence." He did not make any
money by being a general, Some gen
erals did; but somehow he had not the
knack of it. Then he went to the
United States Senate. Here was an
other golden opportunity. Some men
have been known to make handsome
fortunes by going to the Senate-to 60
in poor, in fact, and come out wealthy.
1t was not Blair's way. While other
public men were building fortunes in
their way, and according to the way of
the times, he never appeard to care for
money. And so he died. After living
fifty four years, and toiling, toiling, toll
ing as few men have ever done, he died
leaving $500.

THE LNDICTM ENT.

The Baltimore American puts it in this
shape:
The present condition of public affairs
has added new strength and vigor to the
Democratic party. From one end Of the
Union to the other a universal sentiment
is spreading, that the only hope for the
country is in the success of that time-hon-
ored organization. Aslong as its princi-
pies controlled the governmental policy
of the nation there was order, peace and
prosperity. AS soon as Radicalism be-
came the ruling spirit, disorder, war and
desolation reigned throughout the land.
When Daniel Webster, with prophetic
vision, announced more than a quarter
ofa century ago, that "if ever the infer
nal fanatics and abolitionists got power,
they would override the Constitution, set
the Supreme Court at defiance, change
and make laws to suit themselves, and
finally bankrupt the country and deluge
it with blood" he declared a simple truth
which is to day staring every man in the
face. The record written in blood and
crime of the last fifteen years fully attest
this fearful fact. RadiCalism has borne
all the bitter fruits predicted of its fatal
growth, and the people have been com.
PEELED to press them to their unwilling
lips. War racked the republic to its CEN
tire. The Union was broken up and the
Constitution was shattered to pieces
Happy homes were made desolate, and
peaceful firesides ruthlessly invaded
Men and women were illegally seized,
dragged from their homes, cast into dun.
geons, driven into exile, or cruelty put
to death. Spies and informers were
everywhere employed, and thrust their
insolent noses into every ones business
who differed in opinion from the ruling
power. Negro equality and negro suf-
frage were forced at the point of the bay
onet upon white freemen, and every base
was used to foment savage
war of races. An enormous debt was
placed upon the shoulders of the masses.
Burthensome taxation was imposed to
raise money for the horde of thieves and
plunderers who grow rich upon the mis-
cries and ruin of the people.

for President, and still keeps his hold ON
national politics, and he is under 700
many obligations in all directions, many
of his friends think, to allow him to de-
clare for any candidate, whatever his
personal feelings may be. Intimate
friends of Governor Tilden, who under
stand this feature of the situation, say
nevertheless that there is and can be no
doubt as to Governor Seymour's real
symr athies. They assert that his name
will be placed first on the list OF the dele
gates at large to St. Louis, and that he
will cast the vote of New York for Mr..
Tilden with a good will, which he can
then fully express.

The Pennsylvania Republican, con.
vention was held At Harrisburgh, on the 28tht
ult., and platform adopted of resolutions -
raigning the Democratic party for subse,
enoy shown to leaders Of the late confederacj
and charging the southern Democracy with
conspiracy to coerce voters. The platform
says the remedy for the present depression Of
our industries is in = higher tariff, and pre-
SCENTS the name of Gov. Hartranft to the con-
sideration Of the national convention for NOM
ination to the Presidency. The delegates
were instructed to give Gov. H. their constant
and united support.
The Ohio Republican convention WAS
largely attended. Gen. Lee, of Toledo, made
a speech in which he warmly urged united
action to securesthe nomination of Gov. Hayes
for President. N. n. Barnes was nominated
for secretary Of state, and w. w. Boynton
for supreme Judge. "A platform WAS adopted
renewing the pledge to the Republican party.
and favoring retrenchment and reform; also
declaring gold the true standard of value, and
advocating such continuance of that policy of
finance as shall equalize the value Of coin and
paper money as can be done without injury
to business or trade. The platform expresses
full confidence in the honesty and ability Of
Gov Rutherford B Hayes, and presents his
name to the national convention for the nomi-
nation for President.
The Republicans of Vermont met at
Burlington and selected delegates to the ma
tional convention. The platform adopted re-
hearses the usual form Of allegiance to party,
supports the laws, opposes division Of school
money, favors a return to specie payments
and opposes any step backward, repeats the
declaration let no guilty man escape" and
demands that the national candidates of the
party be men Of tried integitry, who will carry
out the policy of reform and preserve invio-
late the great results of the war.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
BROAD WAGON WHEELS.


4 correspondent of the practical
Farmer says: Proprietors Of farm
wagons and carts the wheels of which
are made with narrow rims, have no
adequate idea of the amount of feed
and flesh of teams that would be saved
if the wheels of their vehicles were
provided with rims three to five inches
broad. Of course, where the ground is
hard, no perceptible advantage will ap-
pear in favor Of brOad-rimmed wheels.
But when hauling manure over soft
ground, or hauling loads of grain and
hay from the fields where the wheels
sink only two or three inches into mel
low soil, if the rims of common wagon
wheels are four or five inches broad OH
the periphery, team will draw fully
one.third more per load than if the
rims were of the usual width.
am accustomed to keep only one
horse Oh my cattle farm, which does
all the teaming, blowing, and other
work. When the tillable land is dry,
the rims of wheels of usual breadth
would sink in the soil four or five
inches, even when the load would
weigh only 700 to 800 pounds. If the
rims were broader, the reasoning is
that the horse would be able to
draw nearly one-half more per
load without exerting any more
force. In order to put this con.
lecture to practical test, purchased
an old wagon for $40, the spokes, hubs,
axle.arms and springs of which were
nearly as good as new. 4 set of bent
rims for the four wheels was purchas-
ed in New York City for SO. The rims
were one and half inches deep by
three and half broad. The expense
OF putting the new rims OH the old
spokes was So. Iron for the new tire
one-fourth of an inch thick by three
and a half broad. cost 1915. The
blacksmith asked 81 per wheel for set.

OIL myself, when / would have been
doing nothing. On this wagon with
broad-rimmed wheels the old horse

he would take to draw ten to twelve
hundred pounds OIL the other wagon.

bog-meadow, he will take more and
larger loads than he can draw in the
other wagon. When passing over soft
ground. where his feet sink in the
depths of the h0ofs. the broad rims roll
along over the surface as if there was
no load on the wagon. There is a great
advantage in having the rims of farm
wagons broad, say -four inches for two.

Calling Sinners to Repentance.

New York letter to Chicago Times.
no less than 5000 pastors and lay
delegates from all parts of the country
attended the Moody and Shankey con-
yentlon at the Hippodrome to-day, and
Moody underwent cross-examination as
to his method of conducting revivals
from scores of listeners. The scenes
were of the most interesting character
unlike any previous meetings of the
revivalists. After a brief address
Moody submitted to the questioning,
and in his answers displayed extraor-
binary acuteness and readiness. Many
OF his remarks were curious and witty,
and Kept the delegates in almost con-
tlnued laughter. Among other things,
he said: II remember in Chicago the last
winter, was there. We had preach
ing every afternoon. We went out
with invitations into saloons, billiard
halls, etc., and we got a large audience
there every afternoon, and we had a
new minister every day. We wanted
to bring all denominations to keep har-
mony, and believe there was one SOL
itary conversion after preaching thirty
days. If we had only stuck to one min
lister, | believe we would have done a
great work then and there.'' When
asked what should be done if scandal
distracted church, he answered he
would instantly turn ont the offending
persons.
Q.-Suppose there are excitements
i'll church that seem to draw the atten-
ton of the church away from higher
things.-politics for instance! A.-The
political question might interest the
world, and you could go right on with
out being interrupted; but the thing
dread more than do politics is these
miserable church fairs. Laughter
That is the thing that bothers me most.
More meetings have been baoken up
and interest dissipated by these
bazaars and church festivals than by
your political meetings.
Q.-Would you encourage women
preaching in the pulpit! Al should
say it is Il complicated point. and we
will leave it. don't care about my
wife going around and preaching.
When asked about the causes of
drowsiness in audiences. he said bad
ventilation. not preaching. was the
chief trouble.
Off you tell man to be short in
his prayers and he don't obey, what
then! Al would have Il bell.
Q.-Would you stop Il mans prayer
by bell! Aft Il mans prayer don t
seem to go higher than his head, |
should not hesitate to ring him down.
