, Alexander T. Stewart.

Alexander I. Stewart, the great Ameri-
eau merchant, died at his residence in New
York on Monday afternoon, aged 70 years.
Mr. Stewart was OF Scotch-Jrish parent
age, and was born near Belfast, Ireland, in
1903. lie received his education at Trinity
college, Dublin. In 1923 he came to New
York, teaching school for brief period.
He then established retail dry goods store
on Broadway until 1913, when he erected
bis large marble structure, corner of Broad
way and Chamber street He had acquir-
ed great wealth by a life OF industry,
enterprise and sagacity. He possessed
many of the finer qualities which rarely
characterize men Of his pursuit in life
In 1S47, during the Irish famine, Mr..
Stewart chartered ship, which he filed
with provisions, and sent as gift to his
native land. He was strenuous upholder
of the Union cause during The rebellion, and
strongly identified himself with the republ-
can party. President Grant nominated him
to be secretary of the treasury in March,
1869, but was found to be ineligible by the
United States senate under an old law,
prohibiting importers from holding such
positions. This was greatly regretted at
the time, because il was believed bis large
acquaintance with finance would lead the
country in path that would solve in a
measure at least our financial difficulties

Sunday at the Centennial Grounds.

Saturday and Sunday, being the last op-
portunties for the public to visit the CEN
tennial grounds before May 10th, immense
crowds thronged the park and its approaches
both days. The number of visitors Sunday
was enormous. They blockaded every en-
trance and exit. For the past fortnight
there have been 50 many that exhibitors
have complained that work in preparation
was hindered, and the gates, therefore, were
closed to all except employees.
Great alarcrity in preparations, with evil

gan Saturday. The English, Swedish,
Spanish and Dutch sections will soon be
ready. Great quantities of foreign contri-
buttons are now at Baltimore, and on yes
sells at Philadelphia. The Italian commits
sioners, who arrived Saturday, promise a
superb display of ltalys art. Memorial
and Machinery halls are in most back
ward state. Pictures and statues cannot
be arranged more than ten days before the
opening. American exhibitors are now
sending masses of goods. The western
states are beginning to take interest. Cali
fornia too will have state building, a por-
ton of which will be allotted to other sec
tons of the Pacific coast. Canadians will
begin the construction of fine building
this week. The French commission broke
ground Friday for superb pavilion to

Babcock's Shaky Position.

There is great reason to fear, say the
Boston J0urnais special Washington dis
patches, that tho stories told by the detec-
tives in the safe burglary investigation are
true. There is no doubt whatever that
Whitley, formerly chief of the secret SER
vice, has testified that he was engaged pri-
marily by Gen. Babcock TO arrange the safe
burglary conspiracy. There is no doubt,
also, that Babcock at first made general
denial in the committee room Of all the
substantial statements made by Whitley,
but that upon being confronted by letters
and kilograms sent by himself to Whitley,
he was compelled to acknowledge their au-
thenticity, and forced to attempt to explain
them in a manner which negatived his gen.
eral denial 1t is true that all the evidence
against Babcock is given by old detectives,
who, upon their own confession, were
accompices in the nefarious business, but
it is also true that these old detectives have
staked their liberty in their pledges 10 now
tell the whole tIulh, and to prove 1t by cir
cumstaniial and documentary, MS well as
by their personal evidence. That they
have thus Tar done this seems certain. Ex-
traoIdinary circumstances have combined
to cast suspicion upon Gen. Babccck, if ii
be true thst he is innocent of this business.

Pushing" Candidates.

We notice that several of our state ex-
changes are busily pushing certain favor
ties for the office of governor, by repre-
senting their personal or local claims.
While at the recent state convention, sew
eral prominent republicans, fiom different
sections of the state, urged Us to "push
Mr.. Walton" for the nomination. Our
reply was that we had no interest to push
him, aside from that which pertained TO
every other citizen of the state, whether
he resided in Washington or Essex county.
We certainly have no personal ends to
serve by such proceeding. We never ex-
changed syllable with him upon the sub
ject, and have no knowledge that he would
accept the nomination, il rendered him,
further than that he has hitherto obeyed the
calls of the people, and has invariably re-
Elected upon his constituents the full mea-
sure of honor bestowed upon him. We
only know that he Is more familiar
with the origin, the material, civil and po-
litical history of the state-her resources,
her capabilities, her people, their wants
and needs-than any other man in Yer
mont 4; that he is untlinchngly true TO his
convictions of right that no man is far
Their above and beyond "ring' or corpora
ton Influence than he ; and that he would
bring TO &hat honorable office an Intelligent
and faithful discharge of his duties CORE
spending to the present memorable era in
our history. One other thing VIC know
that he will never push himself. But these
things are almost equally well known by
every republican of average intelligence in
the state. And If these considerations con-
stitute sufficient reason why he should
be pushed for the position. it applies just

REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS.

In view of the discussion now going on
in other parts of the state, and of the fact
that the republican state convention, for the
nomination of a governor, lieutenant-gov-
ernor and state treasurer, is called for June
22d, we are asked why the people of the
first congressional district are silent rela-
tive to the next representative in congress,
and why nothing is heard relative TO the
calling of a convention for his nomination?
The answer, in brief, is, that there is no
necessity for the discussion of the merits
of candidates, and no haste for conven-
ton to nominate one. E
There is no necessity for the coneidcra-
ton of the claims or merits of candidates,
because there is but one mind and one voice
in the district on the subject. And that
mind and voice is that Colonel Charles
ii. Joyce, OF Ratland, shall be the next, as
he is the present, representative in congress
from the first congressional district of Yer
m)nt. This is naturally 50, because he has
BEEN elected only for single term; hut
such bae been his course, for the short that
he has been in congress- that we venture
nothing in saying that the same .unanimity
of sentiment would exist If his second, in
stead OF his first, term was about expiring.
Colonel Joyces course in congress has been
all that his most ar lent friends anticipated.
He has gained for himself position rarely
attained during asipgle session of congress,
and more especially by member Of the
minority. He has creditably represented
the people of Vermont, and they are ready
TO trust him again. He may not, in all
things, have given satisfaction to all of his
constituents-and we would not give a
snap for one that dd-but he has been
mainly in the right, and in everything has
acted az his conscience and sense of duty
dictated. and that is all we can ask of an,
man.
With the sentiment of the district as il
Is, there is no necessity for nominating
convention, but we presume it would be
hardly orthodox to vote for member OF
congress without having the ordinary poliii-
cal machinery brought into use for placing
him IN nomination, so, we presume, in due
time convention will be called, and
Colonel Joyce nominated. But there ia no
hurry about it, because congress, under
powers conferred upon it by the constitu-
lion, has seen fit to say that, our state laws
to the contrary Notwithstanding, elections
for representatives in congress shall be held
on the Tuesday succeeding the first Monday
OF November, instead of the first Tuesday
of September as heretofore. And to this
supreme law of the land all good citizens,
whether they will or no, must bow, and, at
the same time, treat cur own statute with
contempt. 1t is to be hoped that our legis-
lature will not, for the third time, attempt
to ignore the laws Of the United States,
but, at its next session, will make our law
conform with that of congress--but whcth-
er it does or not, the election of member of
congress comes two months later than usual,
and 30 there is no hurry about district
convention.

The Centennial Fiend.

Our friends over the way, in the Com
nercidL Bulletin office, seem TO have had
call from the "gentlemanly correspondent
who waited upon us the other day, and
would have waited until now had II not
been for a casual remark in which we asked
the Office boy If the dynamite was ready.

Then gazing sorrowfully at the young
man, he put his mouth to a speaking tube
and asked

Promptly waited through the tin tubt
came the reply
"Red Mike and Big Dan, SIR"
The would-be correspondent started W
