sudden Death.

Allentown Democrat: On Monday fore
noon our people were shocked to hear of the
sudden death of Mr.. Mllllin Iannum, one
of the best-known citizens of Allentown, and
whose unexpected demise impressed most
forcibly upon the minds ofall the uneeitain
ty of life and the mortality of humanity.
He at about 10 O'Clock visited the post-oiiice
and several other places, and reaching his
home soon after complained of being i'll.
Seating himself in a chair in his sitting
room, he there soon after expired, OF heart
disease. Thus suddenly and unexpectedly
to thase who but a short time before had
seen him on our streets, seeminglys.in the
vigor of perfect health, passed from cart
man who occupied an aflectionate place for
many years in the hearts of his fellow-men.
He was born in Luzerne county in 1878, and
came TO Allentown in 1S47, and resided
in Allentown ever since with the exception
of an interval of seven years, when he was
located at wflkesbarre. He was known
among his friends as an honorable man, and
always beld thecon1dence of the people, not
only of this city, but of the entire county.
As man he was conscientious and upright,
and although possessed of an amiable aud
compassionate disposition, he was neverthe-
less firm and inAexible in his purpose Of
what he conceived to be Just and proper.
He was practical printer by trade, and us
such came to Allentown, aud with his long
time friend, James Rafferty, Qong since de-
ceased } bought out the office of the Lehigh
Bulletin, changed the title to Allentown
Democrat, and then for series of years, with
his eo-Partner, conducted the paper very
successfully. Later Mr.. Rafferty, retired,
and Mr.. Hanuun continued the paper alone.
Later on the deceased bought out the Lu-
zcrHG UuoH, at Wilkesbarre, which he con

and with his family returned to Allentown.

Paying Arrears of Pensions.

WAsHINaToN, July 8.-An exami nation of the records of the Pension Bureau up to the 30th day of June of the present year shows that l3,. S9O cases of arrears of pension rep. resenting the sum of $7,220,672.4A had already been paid, or were req dy for payment on that date. They were distributed among the several agencies as nearly as practicable in proportion of the number of pension. CTS upon the respective agency rolls, as follows: Boston, 89O; Canandai qua, ,946; Chicago, 1227; Columbus, l ,296; Des Moines, 760; Concord, SAP; Detroit, 665; Indianapolis, l., 071: Knoxville, AIS, Louisville, 33l Milwaukee, 6SS; New York, 1000; Philadelphia, 1895; Pittsburg, 693; St. Louis, 864; Washington, 965; San Francisco, S2.
 Upward of 5000 cases were set. tied in June. The Commissioner oi Pensions expects to be able to pay an equal if not greater number monthly until all claims are settled. The number who have made claim for arrears is 63,372, but including the 13,S90 already settled not more than 47,000 or 4S,000 persons who already are pensioners have arrears due them. Many who apply arc not entitled to arrears. The Com. missioner expects that nearly all who arc entitled will be paid off by the end of October.
 With regard to the order of settle. ment, he says that the act of January 25 established every pensioners right at tho same moment. The date of filing the application is no, taken into account in fixing the or der of settlement. If the cases had been taken up for settlement in the order of filing the applications the pensioners living in cities near Washington would. have been first paid, to the exclusion of those resid ing at distance, and in the country,

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL CAUSE

Speaking of one of the most lmpor- tant public interests of our State, the Little Rock Democrat says:
 It is most encouraging sign Of the times in our State to note the in creased interest in the cause of pub lie schools. The State Superinten- dent is overrun with questions as to the school laws, duties of school officers, inquiries for teachers, etc. In nearly every part of the State the cause of free schools is making a most hopeful progress. The people are wisely coming to the conclusion that public education is public necessity and that the ex, penditure of money to secure it Is the wisest investment that can be made. They are beginning to real ize the fact that it is folly to depend upon the small amount of State aid granted tor school purposes, and are willing to tax themselves to the ut most limit to increase the efficiency of their schools. This is the spirit shown in many portions of the State, and when it becomes universal we shall see new era of progress in Arkansas.-L. R. Democrat.

Yellow Fever.

Just as we are going to press, in- formation comes by telegram that the yellow fever has broken out in Memphis. Two deaths have occur red, and a general panic existed on the 9th, the board of health advising all who could to remove from the city. Hundreds are leaving by every train. Advices on the llth are not so alarming. Out of five new cases reported on the tenth, three have proved to be other diseases.
 A telegram received this morning (the llth) by the Supreme Dictator from the Grand Dictator of Virginia suggests that an assessment of one dollar each be levied at once upon each member of the Order to assist in removing members and their fam flies from the infected district, and providing for them in their enforced absence. It is not unlikely that some such measure will be adopted if events prove it necessary. Such an assessment now might save two or three for the payment of death losses if the epidemic becomes vio. lent.-Knights of Honor Reporter.

RAILROAD PROSPECTS.
New Lines in Course of sCOntom-
 PIation aud Constructi0n.

The railroad interest of the state is: gradually improving. Our pco. pie have long since seen that rail roads are the most direct communi- cations with the world, and to com municatc with the world is the idea of every commercal community.
 We learn that steps are being ta- ken to build narrow guage rail road from Springfield, Mo. to Harri- son, Boone county and thus on dir ectly to Little Rock. We hope this enterprise will be pushed on with vigor and earnestness to an early completion. It will prove an i'm portant road for this city, and no doubt but that it will handsomely repay the parties investing in it.
 The new iron horse enterprises do not stop here. A narrow guage railroad from O'kcan, Randolph county, Q prominent point on the Iron Mountain railroad, is now be- ing built to Gainesville, Greene county, in order to get the magniG- cent timber in that locality. This road will be of great advantage, passing as it will through large strip of fertile country. Arkansas after Q while will be as checked with railroads as Q hickory shirt is with this and that way stripes.-L. R. Gazette,
The Russellville Democrat., 1879-07-31
Hayes Administration.

The worst thing about the Hayes administration is it's hypocrisy. This is exemplified now even more than it was last year, by the manner in which the political assessment business is carried on. The presi- dent makes semi-official anounce- ment every day or two of his rigid adherence to his civil service reform principles, but the members of the cabinet tip the wink to the republi can congressional campaign com mittee, and then go off on aninspec- tion of something or other for recreation, while the importunate assessors descend upon the poor de partment clerks like the plague of locusts. A correspondent says it IS noticeable that "there is q kind of sub-rosa air about the proceedings of those who have undertaken to collect the voluntary contributions that suggests a consciousness on their part of the questionable ligiti- macy of the work" The collector SimpIy steps up 10 dcsK ana whlS- pers in the confidential ear of the clerk that all the others are subscrib- ing, and hints that he had better do the same if he knows what is good for him. There are few who have the moral courage to refuse, considering it Is an Ohio election that is to be carried. and that the fortunes of the administration can didate for the presidency arc at stake. On the whole the old "stand- and deliver" method of political as sessments is better than this sneak thief process. The Grant peo- pie bulldozed the clerks, but they did not do it in q mean way. The mask worn by the administration had better be thrown off; it does not conceal it's repulsive visage.-Phila- delphia Times.

Silver Coinage and Resumption,

It is rather inconsistent for the friends of Secretary Sherman to be asserting in one breath that resump- tion has been triumphantly accom- plished, and in tho next proclaiming that the free coinage of silver will imperil resumption. How can re- sumption be imperled if it is an ac- complished fact? Will not the free coinage of silver supply the treasury with Q still greater amount of coin to redeem the greenbacks when they are presented2 Secretary Sher- man himself admitted last winter that the present silver law, which permits the coinage of two to four million silver dollars a month, had been Q great help to him in resump- tion, because it enabled him to pre- vent a rush on the treasury for gold. It supplies him with a hoard of sil- yer to redeem greenbacks with, and the holders of greenbacks prefer them to silver. But if the coinage of two to four million silver dollars accomplish so much good, would not tree coinage of silver ac- complish a great deal more2
 The talk about peril to resump- ton from silver coinage is nonsense. The great..popularity of the green backs and their greater convenience in handling and transmitting, ma. king them more desirable to the mass of the people than either gold or silver, arc an almost absolute guar anty of the maintainance of resump- tion. As Secretary Sherman remark cd in his speech at Philadelphia last Monday, when people can get coin by demanding it, they do not want itp they are content with greeubacks. Besides we are exporting or selling $260, ,000, 900 more of commodities per annum than we are importing or buying, and while this process con- tinues, it is absurd to talk about resumption being endangered.-St. Louis Republican.

HOW THE PEOPLES. MONEY
 GOES.
Using Public Property for Pri- Vate and Partisan Purposes.

At Philadelphia, yesterday, Mr. Sherman loaded himself and some friends on board Q revenue cutter, and started to "inspect'' the harbor and Deleware river. After compile ting this "inspection," it is announ- ced, the secretary will sail alone, upon the same vessel, for an sofiiciar' cruise along the eastern coast. That is the way the dis patches state the case; but the fact is that MT. sherman is going to Maine to make political speeches, and chooses to make the journey there at heavy cost to the govern ment, by using revenue cutter for his private convenience, instead of buying a railroad ticket as any other citizen would have to do. The cost of running a government vessel up- on voyage of q week or two on thls business is considerable, and the secretary might just as well-for it would be equally honest--take that much money directly from the treasury and put it In his pocket, as to impose thls needless expense on the the treasury. As the head of the department, Mir. Sherman has authority to order the revenue cut ters to points where they may be needed to assist in the collection of the revenue. They are under his charge for use in the public service and according to law, just as the con- tents of the treasury are intrusted to his guardianship for disburse- ment as the statutes prescribe, and m no other way and for no other purpose. To use 9 revenue cutter as yacht or passenger boat, for the convenience of himself and hls friends, is an act of the same essence as the use of government moneys for his own private purposes. It is time that this misappropriation of public property, which is manifest breach of trust on the part of public officers guilty of it should be stop ped.-Chicago Times.

A Splended Offer.

The trustees of tho Arkansas In dustrial Univers,ty have decided to fix up the old building as stew ards hall. A steward has been cleo ted, who will recieve at his table all the students in the building at s5. 50 per month. giving them good, healthy, but not luxurious food. That this benefaction may prove of service to meritorious young men of slender means, the faculty request that each County Judge will recon mend one deserving young man from his county. Out of the 70 re- commended 30 will be selected, that being all the house will accom- modate. There will be a saving to each boarder of about S60 in the session. Students recommended by the County Judges must be on the ground on the first day of Septem- Der.
The Russellville Democrat., 1879-07-31

Carl Schurz's St. Louis spokesman, an amiablc old fossil by the name of Preetorlous, the editor of the West hche Post. has risen to remark again this time interestingly. He says he couples the enthusiastic senti- ments of Carl with his own in an. nouncing that under no circumstan- ces will Grant, as Q Prcsi lentia nom inoc, receive the powerful support of the Post and the German element of the West. Sherman is their man, and none other will they support in tho Repuclican canvass. All of winch will be classcd as important If true, as this seems from the face of it to be.
