The elevated railroad, in New York,
although ''6xed fact, is still subject
of contention between property owners on
the line of the streets it obstructs. Some
of these think the road will make their
fortunes, others are satisfied that business
on the thoroughfares through which it
passes will be ruined. The railroad does
not Obstruct the roadway beneath, and it
is certainly a great convenience to the
travelling public, the trains moving rapidly
and smoothly, and the cars being palace
cars when compared with the ordinary
street conveyance. Atpresent the cars run
close to the windows of houses devoted to
all sorts of uses, and the passengers look in
upon manufacturers and merchants at
work or into bedrooms of the rich, or
kitchens, bedrooms and sittingrooms of the
poor along the route. The road is so use
full that it will, no doubt, be retained in
the streets, and eventually the houses
which 1t opens up to the public view will
be devoted to purposes compatible with
the bringing of the public to look into sec
ond and third-story windows.

DEATH FROM A SLIGHT ACCIDENT
The Havro de Grace, Nd, Republican, of
May 3lst, says John Mccain, who was
employed by Mr.. Jas. Nixon, on his
farm near Havre de Grace, died from lock
jaw on last Sunday afternoon, caused by
a trivial accident The deceased. about
two weeks ago, struck one foot against the
heel of the other, thereby making slight
bruise, but which did not in the least
interfere with his regular work, which he
performed until the following Friday week
when it began to pain him, and he stopped
work, and Doctors Hopkins and Virdin
were called in and attended him, but he
continued to grow worse until Sunday
afternoon when, as above stated, lock Jaw
took place and death ensued. He was a
native of Belfast, Ireland, and was in his
24th year

HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN NEW YORK.
The New York letter in Philadelphia
Ledger, dated june 18th, says 1t is not
putting the case too strongly to say that
the whole city stands aghast at daring
demonstration of brigandage that was
made on Third avenue car at about ten
o'clock last night. Think Of it! A city
horse car jogging along with about fifty
passengers inside, is suddenly boarded by
five rufhans, with drawn revolvers, who
intimidate the entire crowd, beat one man
almost to death, rob him of $3.50, and
then make their escape easily aud safely
Ii the thing had occurred in some lone
mountain pass up in Delaware county, or
over on the Jersey meadows, it would be
comprehensive, but at the corner of the
Third Avenue and Ninety-Sourth street,
in the city of New York, one hardly knows
what to think of it. The victim of the
robbery, Mr.. Joseph Lafetra, of 136 East
One hundred and twenty-fourth street,
was in the employ Of the railroad compa-
ny, and the money that was stolen from
him consisted of fares, which he was con-
veYing from the Harlem depot to the
principal depot, at Sixty-fifth street. What
makes the robbery all the more atrocious
is the fact that among the passengers were
number of Eleventh Regiment soldiers
in uniform, and with bayonets, returning
from a pic mic! The police, of course,
are greatly excited about it, but up to this
time there is, as usual, "no clue"

The old law maxim that fraud vitiates
everything it touches. has been reversed.
Fraud has become sacred thing. 1t

vitiating the title to that office it has made
the title sacred, and as secure and fixed as
the laws Of the Medes and Persians, which

Private Life the Post Of Honor.

1t is announced that Ex- Minister Wash
burne refuses to be candidate for Con-
gress or for the United States Senate.
That is a wise conclusion. A man with
ordinary refinement of feeling and self
respect has to encounter such sacrifice
Of both, to be candidate nowadays, that
the price is altogether too great for such
honors. Indeed, honor attaches most to
private station. There is very little honor
in submitting ones self to crossroads poll
ticians, district wirepullers and convention
jugglers and manipulators where whiskey
and intrigue and bad faith are the most
potent factors in nominations to Office.
The men who ordinarily compose political
conventions too often 20 to such convoca-
tions to grind their own axes, instead of
honestly representing the public sentiment
of their party, and dischargiag their trust
for the public good. They go to barter, log
roll and combine, for their own selfish ends
Party conventions are now very rarely the
true opponents Of the party will They no
longer seek to select the best men for the
public service, but such as can best be
used, or whom they think can best be used,
for private advantage. Men who are con-
trolled by high sense Of honor, and who
are proof against low alliances for the sake
Of Office, win refuse to become candidates
and barter their decency and self-respect
for public position. Mr.. Washburne does
well to keep out Of the mire of party con-
tests to secure a position even in either
branch of Congress. The private station
is alone the post Of honor. He must pos
sess more than Roman virtue, who can keep
himself unsoiled, in times like these, in
contact with public men.

Death of Bryant.

William Cullen Bryant, the veteran

IN New I ork, on Wednesday, in the S4th
year OF his age. lie was born in Cum-

ton at the age of ten, like Samuel john
son. When nineteen he had achieved nv
his grand pOem-the Thanatopsis-tbe
fame OF being the most classic and iusnir-
cd bard Of America.
Bryant was entered at Williams College
where he remained but two years. when
he commenced the study of law. After
ms admission, he practicei for some time
IN PiaInhe!d and Great Darlington: but
the exciting career of Journalism had more
charms for his Imaginative soul than the
honors he might have gained in the courts
of Themis.
Removing to New York, he commenced.
In 1928, his editorial duties in connection
with the New York ReUietc, subsequently
merged into the United States Revie,o
lie next took charge of the Eveninq Post.
over which he presided for fifty years. and
associated with Rubert Sands and Gulian
Verplank, in editing an anuual-Re Tai
1smGR-to which he contributed in verse
and prose. A volume of his poems, pub
lished IN New York, recommended him to
the favorable notice of the genial Wilson.
who, under the nom de plume of Christie
pher North, was the master mind of Black
moods WGgdziae. England at once re-
cognized the fact that the genius of poesy
had followed the star of Empire, and did
not disdain to dwell in the wild regions
of the West.
Having visited Europe once and antici-
pated Stephens in his travels through Pal
estine, he returned to New York and bought
residence near the village of RosIyn on
Long Island
His addresses on different occasions
were remarkably felicitous. His dictiou
was ornate and chaste; his delivery i'm
pressive. His eloquenee was only sur
passed by the melody of his verse. In
addition to his gifted talent he was an ac-
complished linguist. His TRANSACTIONS of
the Had and Odyssey attest his profcien-
cy as IA Greek scholar. Better than this, he
was an upright man of the most generous
impulses; hoEored for his talents; admired
for his virtues; loved for his friendship.
Mr.. Bryant was eminently lovable in
his personal character, genial, kind-hearted
and generous. He lived among noble
circle of friends, Longfellow, the poet, now
past three-score-a nd-ten; Richard H. Dana,
already beyond his ninetieth birthday;
Bancroft, the historian, verging close on
eighty-such as these were his contempt
raries and abiding friends. His memory
will long be kept green III the world of
letters, and his career as an author NAV.

fearless and faithful counselor of the public.
