been organized among the workmen. The

What Judge Black Thin ks.

Judge Jeremiah S. Black appeared he
fore the Electoral Commission as Demo-
cratic counsel in the South Carolina case
The Judge evidently thought there was
little use in entering into an elaborate al
gument in 4 predetermined case. SO
when the time came for the presentation
of his views. he spoke as follows
He said that he had no time to consi ler the
case. The court knew as much about it as he
did 1t was his idea that counsel should
speak only to assist the court IN coming to a
conclusion, and when he could not do that he
should take his seat.
With much feeling, he said he felt he had
lost much of the dignity of an American citizen,
and that this great Nation had got its foot in
crack from which it could not be extricated.
If forlorn hope could go out to avert this
great calamity he would gladly lead it. He did
not know how he would feel if called upon to
lay down his life, but if he could with his life
redeem the Nation from the infamyf with which
it was covered. he ought to give his life as free
ly as he would 60 to BED. Objections had been
presented here which to him appeared unan-
sWerable, but it might be that he, in common
with millions of others, had been wrought up
to IL state of feeling that made his vision less
clear, and things appear to them different than
they did to calmcr persons.
lie went into an examination Of the details
IN the South Carolina case, branching off at in
tervas into similar strains of complaint against
the action OF the Commission. Judge Black
said he never expected to see another election.
He cared not to ask how the people had eX-
pressed their will at the polls, he only wanted
to know what kind of rascalS they had got for
returning boards.

Springfield Republican,
The Dead Admirals.

The death of six admirals of the United
States navy since the opening Of 1877 is
quite remarkable, although these warriors
OF the sea 60 down in such tullness of hon
ors and of years as to make the coinci-
dence happy rather than ominous. Their
average age was seventy-two, and their
careers exemplity all the glories OF the ma
Wy and none of its disgraces All of these
men were active during our last war, when
they were already old men. While the
fighting and the honors on the land fell in
to the hands of young men, on the sea the
up to the work we'll. Farragut was sixty
three when he hung in the rigging of the
Hartford during the battle of Mobile bay
Alden was native of Portland, a COM
rade of Wilkes in the South sea, and con-
stantly in active service during the rebel
lion, being the youngest of the six, only
sixty-seven. Bailey was born at Platts-
burg, and was boy of eleven years when
Commodore Macdonough won his spunky
fight with the British cruisers on Lake
Champlain in 1914 He captured $50
blockade-runners, it is said, during the
war Davis was of Boston, q writer of
naval mathematics. and the captor of
Memphis in 1862 Louis Goldsborough,
CHS middle name, Malesherbes smacks of
events contemporary with his birth) was
in the service probably the longest OF any,
entering as MILDLY in 1872, when only
seven years of age, perhaps by favor of his
father who was governor of Maryland. He
was in fight with Greek pirates fifty years
ago, and was with Burnside at Roanoake
He married daughter of Writ, and one
of the asides of his lite was an attempt to
colonize Florida with German emigrants.
Wilkes was, in some respects, the most
celebrated of them ALL He was born in
New York, and was nephew Of John
Wilkes, the English radical of the last
century He had name before the war
OF the rebellion broke out, his antarctic
explorations in 1839-42 and his contribu-
tions to literature having give him world
wide fame. His tax ing Of Mason and Sill
dell from the British mail steamer Trent
in 1871 was a splendid feat, which won
the applause of the country, and, neces-
sarily, the formal disavowal of the gov
eminent. 1t broke the force OF Mason and
Sidell's mission, however, for England
could not participate in an intrigue against
us in view of our honorable conduct in
that case.
The most egregious fame to which sea-
men reach is narrow compared with that
enjoyed under similar achievements on
the land. Their lives, when not on this
element, are usually lives of privacy and
retirement, and an admiral hundred
miles from the coast is as rare as three
decker in the same locality. They seem
to graduate from the ocean directly into
that other life,

Prof. TyndalIs WARMING.

In concluding an address TO the students of
University College lLondon Prof. Tyndall
who is unQuesionably one of the most indeta-
tigable brain workers of our century, said
"take care of your health. Imagine Hercules
as oarsman in rotten boat; what can he do
there but by the very force of his stroke eXpe-
tite the ruin of his craft. Take care Of the tim
hers of your boat The distinguished srien-
lists advice is equally valuable to all ,r0Thers.
We are apt to devote all our energies TO WELD

few Of us examine or even think of the condi-
ton OF our boats until the broken or rotten
timbers suddenly give way and we find our

have been easily avoided by little forethought.
What began with slight fracture, or perhaps
even careless exposure to disorganZing influ
ences, ends in the complete wreck of the life
boat. The disease which began with slight
headache or an undue exposure to cold termi-
mates in death, unless its progress be checked,
and the disease remedied. The first symptoms,
the heralds of disease, give no indication of the
strength of the on-cOming foe. and the victim
trusts that his old ally, Nature. will eXtermi-
nate the invader. But disease Is an old general
and accOmplishes his most important move
ments in the Nighttime, and some bright morn
ing finds him in possession of one of the strong
est Notifications; and when he has once gain
ell a stronghold in the system Nature ignomini-
ouSly turns traitor and secretly delivers up the
whole physical armory to the invader. Like
the willy politician, Nature is always on the
strongest side, and the only way to insure her
support is to keep your vital powers in the as
cendant. Keep your strongest torts--the sto-
mach and liyer-well guarded. Do not let the
foe enter the arterial highways, for he will
steal or destroy your richest merchandise and
impoverish your kingdom. To repulse the at
