Death Of Hon. Milton Su:1iff.

With the tornado Oh last Wednes-
day, came the startling announcement
that Hon. Milton SuIlitr WAS dead. He
expired in his office at few minutes
after eleven O'Clock a. III. on hat day.
Apparently, Le had been as well as
usual, and had been (, king walk, as
was his custom, only 4 few minutes
before. He died III mis- cha r.sitiins in
his office. Young M. Heizog, lately
a student of Judge Sutliil, and a Mr..
Miller, from the south part OF the city
were in the Office at the Time, and rem
dcred all the assistance in their power.
DR.. Bierce, whose office is in Sutlif1's
block, came in just before he breathed
his last. Judge Sutliff had been fail
ing physically, the last two years, but
no one thought his end was near. The
| Immediate cause OF his dcaih was
some disease of the heart, probably.
AS lawyer, Judge SutlIH W as emf
ncnt in his profession. lie was learn
cd not only in law, but the Classics.
lie was graduated at Western Reserve
College in 1883, and soon after COM
mcnced the study OF law with Messrs.
Glddings Il Wade, at jefferson, Ash
tabula county. After two years study
he was admitted to the Bar, and open
ed an Office at Warren, where he has
ever since resided. He soon entered
| into a lucrative practice, which con-
tinued until his election 10 the Legis-
latnre. in lS49. While in that body,
the party to which he belonged Gree
Soill held the balance of power. He
was instrumental in securing the elec
tion of B. f. Wade to the United
States Senate, and r. p. Ranney to the
Supreme bench of the State.
In 1857, Judge Sulliff was elected
Judge OF the Supreme Court of this
STATE. which position he filled for five
wears. with much credit 10 the State
and himself. On his retirement from
the bench he resumed the practice of
law in this county.
Judge Sutliff never married but
having accumulated, by prudence, con.
siderable property, he used it with
much discretion in aiding such of his
relatives as seemed to need his pro-
tecting care.
On every question Judge Sutliff was
understanding, but learned and able.
Not much of politician, but an abO-
litionist of the deepest dye. His great
effort seemed to be to contribute his
ability to the liberation OF the South
ern slave. When that was accom-
plished by the war, he embraced DEM
ocratic principles - supported Mr..
Greely for President with all his might
and. in the opinion of the writer, was
friendly to the success of the Demo.
cratic party.
But it i. too so6n to write proper
obituary notice of Judge Sutlii. He
was not only kind TO those who were
somewhat dependent upon him, but to
the poor.-[W Warren Record.

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON. d. c., April u. 1873.

w WASHINGTONs u. C., april ~, 1910.
IN THE SENATE,
the business this week has been rather
light. The Northern Pacific Bill, after
considerable discussion was passed.
The calender was overhauled and quite
a number of Bills were discussed and
passed. An attempt was made to fix
. day for the discussion of the Re-
sumption repeal Bill, to which an
amendment was offered by Mr.. Voor-
hees, who took occasion to say that he
had not abandoned his position in fa-
vor of the Resumption Act, but since
it was thought the Senate would not
pass the House Bill, he desired to do
the next best thing. A proposition 10
open the debate was suggested, but as
several Senators desired to speak and
were not prepared, the matter went
over. Senator Sargeants attempt to
kill the House Shields Bill, has aroused
General Shields friends to heroic ac-
ton, and numerous petititions and
memorials from all sections of the
country have been received, demand
ing the passage of the Bill. Blaine
made an effort at tariff tinkering, by
offering a resolution to the effect that
it was inopportune to make any
change in the present tariff laws. The
Government Printing Office Bill, ap-
propriatipg 100000 for that institu.
ton, was taken up and passed. Sen.
ator Eusfis introduced Bill 10 pro.
vide line of steamers between Brazil
and this country. The time for the
debate upon the repeal of the Resump'
ton Act, above referred to, has finally
been agreed upon, and next Wednes'
day the big battle over the bill will be
put in motion after the morning hour
has expired. Gen. Gordon will lead
off in advocacy of the repeal of the
act, and declares he will show the peo'
pie who have been the cause of al
their distress. All the big guns or
both sides of the question will below
forth their frey, fierce and destructive
element, followed by a general skir'
mish all along the line by the small
artillery of lesser mental calibre. Tht
battle bids fair to rage hot and furious
legs, arms and wind, in wild gesticu
lated poise, will fill the air, intermin
gled with Divers and numerous quan
titles of singed hair and froth, an &C
! count of which we promise in ou
next.

In spite of Democratic bowling
about resumption of specie payments
resumption has come. Il Republican
paper.
We rather think there are several
thousand people in the United States
who have not resumed and are not
likely to in the immediate future. The
condition in which these unfortunate
people find themselves is brought
about by the shrinkage of values
caused by the rapid contraction of the
Currency, In orrtcr tnas tfrc ,urshasiae
power of the capitalists money might
be increased while the price of all the
products of labor and property of the
man of business are diminished. Un-
der the rule of the party in power did
the country ever have any legislation
upon the subject of finance which did
not tend to transfer the wealth of the
country from the hands OF the pro-
ducers to those of the capitalists?

A FEW banks have announced that
they are ready to redeem their notes
in gold, and thereupon the resump-
tionists 20 into ecstacies over the mat
ter. These banks have got their notes
well scattered abroad over the country
and know that it is impossible for
them to be presented in large amounts
When they come to pay depositors in
coin and when resumption becomes
general it will be found to be quite
different thing. But there are even
now thousands of men who are unable
to resume snd pay their debts either
in coin or in that greasy, dirty, worth
less currency, yclept greenbacks. and
strange to say, some people believt
the crushing, contraction resumption
policy has much to do in bringing
about their condition.

The Resumptionists have been in
great glee over the achievements OF
John Sherman in negotiation loan
of $5O,C1O,O0O, gold with the Syndicate,
which would enable him to resume
specie payments at the date fixed by
law. 1t seems that the Secretary was
fibbing slightly in reference to the
matter sxd practicing downright de.
ception upon the people. 1tturns out
that in the agreement between Sher-
man and Syndicate the latter only
agrees to take $40 0G0,000 of the A..
per cent. lOar, with the option of TAX
ing the remaining S40,O0J,C00 if they
desire TO do so. So, if the bargain
turns out . good on the,r part they
can demand the balance, out il they
find better opportunity for inyest-
ment they are under no obligation TO
do SO. 1t is one sided bargain in
which the Syndicate get al the turkey,
but Sherman probably accomplished
his purpose of preventing the passage
of the bill to repeal the resumption act
by telegraphing that the whole S9o,'
100000 had been ia ken.

ALONG THE LINE
AT SALEM, about $lO.CC0 worth of
property was destroyed. The Canning
establishment, brick two.story build
ing, owned by the Kittredge COrnice
and Ornament Company, is nearly =
total loss. The wind carried away
the upper story and one wall of the
lower story. Loss $1,000. Its con-
tents, consisting of fruit cans, were
saved. Five thousand bushels Of oats
on the lower floor, which were expos
ed to the rain, is probable loss of
$500. The large smoke stack on
Strawn's grist mill was blown down.
Loss $3.50. Also that OF the Water
works, crushing the engine-hOuse,
owned by Joseph Fawcett, on Els
worth street was blown down; loss
about $3.50. A large brick brewery,
owned by &. w. Mof was unroofed
and one side partially blown down !;
loss $500. The Perry Stove Company's
roof was crushed by the falling walls
of the canning factory; loss $500.
A large number of chimneys were
blown down and window-glass brOk-
en-, and two men were slightly injur-
ed in the molding-room of the Perry
Stove Company by the falling roof.
AT YOuNGsrOWN.-At the Girard
Iron Furnace, four miles northwest
of this city, the stock house walls were

According to Strict Business Rules.

There was some curiosity to know how
Mr.. MERRITT Is going to manage the Gus
tom House. That curiosity has been salts
fed by assurances from Mr. MERRITT him
self: he is going to manage 1t according to
strict business ruics'
People thought il was managed according
20 business rules before. II it was not they
were not informed wherein. Our oldest and
most experienced merchants considered Mr..
ARTHUR as good business man IA Mr..
MERRITT. So the explanation, in itself
threw no light on tho subject.
But the explanation has been explained
and now people may begin to understand
what is meant. II is something different
from what Is ordinarily understood by bust
ness rules. We are told that according to
strict business rules people employed in
the Custom House are not to be allowed TO
work in politics.
Why this should he called according TO
business rules we are at loss to compre-
bend. There il no private business in this
country conducted on any such rules. Mono
could be. Any attempt to do II would be
frowncd down, and the employer would find
himself the object of uncommon opprobrium.
II il proper enough In private or public
business to require that person who is paid
for his work should devote himself cX-
clusivcly to his work But that is all. A
private employer who should attempt to
dictate to his hired men whether they should
be active or inactive in politics out Of work.
ing hours would be looked upon as an i'm
pudcnt upstart, a would-bc petty tyrant,
and as no American.
The Government cannot control the per-
1ons who hold Office under II, out Of Office
hours, any more than private individual
can control his hired men. To call an at
tempt to do it administering an Office ac-
cording to strict business rules is an incor-
rect use Of language. There are no such
rules Of business. There never can be in
this country. They would conflict directly
with the Constitution. They would be at
variance with the whole theory OF the Gov
eminent. They would only be consistent
with q system Of partial slavery, and this is
not a land of slavery, even for black men.
1t never was for whites, and Mr.. HAYES can
hardly make it SUCH

Their Sort of Reform.

We learn that JOHN SHERMAN has ordered
the removal Of some Of the most efficient
and reliable clerks in the Treasury and its
branches at Washington for refusing to
pay the arbitrary assessments on their sal
aries, made by the Congressional Republican
Committee, Of which EUGENE HALE and
GEORGE C. GoRHAM, Secretary Of the Sen
ate, are the shining lights. OF course other
pretexts will be assigned for these official
decapitations but the fact cannot be dis
putcd, that in every instance the reason
stated is the true aud only one The col
lcctor goes through the departments with
an air of authority to enforce the " voluntary
contribution" and whoever declines to sub
scribe j. reported to JOHN SHERMAN or his
assistant, J. b. HAwLEY, and the dismissal
follows without hearing.
The response TO the first call Of the COM
mittee for money was less satisfactory than
had been anticipated by the managers Of
the campaign. A second and more pointed
demand has now been sent to every Office
holder aud to emphasize tho approval Of
tho Fraudulent Administration, SHERMAN
has directed these removals 10 be made as
a warning TO others who may hesitate about
submitting to this cXtortion. HAYES, the
heads of departments, the bureau chiefs,
and all others whose example and influence
are likely to operate on the subordnates,
have made subscriptions to this political
fund,prcclsely as was done by GRANT. CHAND-
LER, FISH, robson, and company, with
the exception that the latter set made no
pretenco of being reformers and considered
partisan assessments a regular matter OF
