Death of Eihn HBurritt.

Elihn Burritt, the learned blacksmith
died on the 7th inst. He was the most
remarkable man of the times. He was
the son of a poor shoemaker in New
Britain, Conn, being born in 1910.
After receiving Extraordinary instruction
of the village common school, he was
at the age of seventeen apprepticed to
a blacksmith, and duly served his time,
and became master of that trade. But
although engaged in so laborious a
trade he always found time for study,
and at an early date became reRarka.

and modern. In 1874 he became an
editor and lectuerer, and devoted him
self to the peaceful settlement of iu-
ternatioual difficulties.

them, they will be tackled on to the leg

To hear the talk made about the noise of
the railroad trains in the lower part of the
city one might suppose that st. Paul, or a
portion of her people, were opposed to hav-
ing city at this point. One of the most
agreeable things the GLOBE has had to record
for some time is this row about the whistles
and bells and constantly moving trains. It
shows an immense business in progress, and
We trust the noise and multitude of trains
will increase. The gates will give protec-
ton until the bridges can be built, and we
look forward with pleasure to the prospect of
continuous trains and the unceasing though
not unnecessary noise incident thereto. St.
Paul IS bound to be city and noise is one
of the incidents thereto. Broadway, New
York, is one incessant scene of danger,
hustle, noise and din, but We hardly believe
the people of that city would care to squelch
all this. If it was a continuous Sunday
along Trout Brook we imagine good many
who now complain would be glad to see
little turmoil and hear good deal of noise.

The New York World asks Western DEM
ocrats to ''prepend" for little while. It
claims that while Democratic President
may be elected without the vote of single
Western State, no such person csn be elected
without the votes of at least three Eastern
States-New York, New Jersey and Con-
necticut. neither of which can be carried by
any man who puts himself in the way of
re-establishing honest money. The World
does not seem to be aware of the fact that
with the vote of Indiana and Illinois added
to the reliably Democratic States of the
South, the candidate of the Democratic party
can be chosen Independently of the States 1t
names. Besides, We are not aware that any
Democratic candidate named puts himself in
the way of a re-establishment of honest
money, for that sort of money, even taking
the Worlds own Interpretation of it, is al
ready established beyond controversy. It
would be well for the Eastern Democrats to
"prepend."

The Indian council at Los Pinos had a
somewhat dramatic ending the other day.
The chiefs offered to surrender those guilty
of the massacre of Agent Meeker, twelve in
number, provided they would be taken to
Washington for trial, but not if they were
brought to trial in Colorado. With -four
ish Of weapons which, fortunately, resulted
in no particular damage except to the feel
ings of the commissioners, the council
broke up. 1t is significant that Chief
Ouray, who has been relied on as the warm
est friend of the whites, sided with the rest
of the tribe in opposing the demands of the
commissioners. There is little probability
that any good result will follow from the
council, Notwithstanding the high expeota-
tons that were at first entertained for it.
