The subject of this notice, whose
death, at his home i'll Philadelphia,
occurred Friday afternoon at 3
O'Clock, was born at Lancaster,
Pennsylvania. September 30, 1917.
In 1888 he became all appointec i'll
the office of the Lancaster journal,
and in 1887 was editor and joint pro-
prietor of the Lancaster lntelligcn-
Ger, which paper, i'll 1910, was united
with the journal. He removed in
1915 to Philadelphia, and was for
some wears editor of the Pennsyl-
vanian, one OF the most ouispoken
democratic journals of that section.
In 1851 Mr. Forney was chosen clerk
of the United States house of repre-
sentatives, and reelected in 1888.
Having severed his connection with
the PennsylYanan, he became editor
OF the Union, the democratics organ
at Washington. Iii 1896
he resigned this place and
returning to Pennsylvania, was
selected as chairman OF the demo-
cratic state central committee. In
January, 1917, he became the demo-
cratic candidate for the Office OF
United States senator, but was de-
feated by Mr.. Cameron. On August
l following Mr. Forney began the
lt...;o,, =, DL;l.Hnlnhia of rho
Press, an independent democratic
Journal. Although an advocate of
Mr.. Buchanan's election for the
presidency, Mr.. Foruey took de-
cided stand against his administra-
ton when the LecomptOn constitu-
ton of Kansas became a topic of
public debate. He was again chosen
clerk OF the house q! representatives.
in the thirty-siXth congress by the
republicans. During the civil war
he gave constant support to the ia
tlonal government. While Gontinu
ing the publication of the Press III
Philadelphia he began the publica-
ton in Washington OF the Chroni-
Gle, which, il 1862, was Issued
as daily. From 1861 to

sketches, entitled "Lcttcr4 OF Eu

in the sunday Chronicle aud The

II. Il. BURNIIAM n co.

To obtain first-class liquors, pure and
madulterated, and direct from the
manufacturers themselves, is an ex-
ceedmgly difficult matter. There is
one firm in this city that has placed it
self in immediate connection with
such manufacturers, and with some of
the most reliable dealers in the coun-
Try. We refer to Burnham & Co, No.
63 Austin street, who keep none but
the choicest and purest liquors in their
establishment, and by long course of
honorable dealing have obtained the
env.ed name they now enjoy. They
also keep line of fine and well assort-
ed cigars at prices to suit the trade.

As the question is frequently asked,
we will simply say that she is lady
who for upwards of forty years has IN
tiringly devoted her time and talents as
a female physician and nurse, prinri-
pally among children. She has ospeti-
ally studied the constitution aud wants
of this numerous class, and, as a result
of this effort. and practical knowledge,
obtained in lifetime spent as a nurse
and physician, she has compounded a
soothing syrup for children teething.
1t operates like magic-giving rest and
health, and IS moreover, sure to Tegu-
late the bowels. In consequence Of
this article, Mrs. Wnslow is becoming
worlarerowned as d benefactor Of her

bless her; especially is this the case i'll
this city. Vast quantities of the soOth-
ing syrup ase daily sold and used here.
We think Mrs Winslow has immortal
ized her name by this invaluable arti-
Gle, and we sincerely believe thousands
of children have been saved from an
early grave by its timely use. and that

fits and unite in calling her blessed

rAsHBALANCEo AND PUBLIC
DOMAIN,

DOM AIN,
The recent discovery that more
land certificates have been issued
than there is land upon which to To-
cate them, Is not a pleasant reyela-
ton. There was time, not long
ago. when Texas had a muniticcm
public domain. 1t was ncr special
pride. But it is gone now, and won
der succeeds cresttallcn pride. The
questions of what has become OF
these millions OF acrcsl and where is
the remuneration for them; are, We
think, familiar to most citizens, III
some cases there are railroads, and.
in their way, they are excellent i'll
vestments, but the mass of citizens
will hold them of doubtful value
when compared with public lands
for actual settlement. Millions OF
acres have been sold for a mere song
to spcculators, and the capital OF
these SPECTATORS has in turn buiided
railroads in Texas to force the lands
upon market at advantageous prices.
The investment was legitimate for
the spectators, and their railroads are
acceptable. But this form of remu-
ucration is so slow to resolve
itself and so indirect that only the
few deep and logical finaDciers will
realize its true importance in mould
ing the future OF Texas, the MASSES
grasping only the salient points that
the lands are gone and railroads aud
high prices are left. The pros and
cons ofthe case lead too deep into
discussion to be broached III this
article, and, with the masses, we have
only to 10 with the bare facts The
responsibility for this condition OF
affairs should have tiXity, 3 tangi-
BILE resting-pla for undoubtedly
some branch of the administration
OF state affairs had to do with the
question. In public estimation 8
share of the responsibility Will be
laid at the administration which Il
much on the one-idea order that only
the momcntary objectIs given attcn-
ton. For severa. years Texas govern
ment has been conducted solely with
the view OF accumuating mag
niiiccm balance IN the treasury. The
feat has been successfully accom-
plishcd, but in its accomplishment
other important questions Of STATE
politv have been lost sight of. One
of them is the public domain. En-
crossed with The cash balance the
omission was made of calling for no
comprehensive report from the land
Office. and neither the government
nor the people were actually aware
ofthe disposition Of the public lands.
informally and almost accidentally
the fact became known that holders
of certificates were unable to find
INDICATED lands. In the infancy ot
It's development every state Is placed
at considerable disadvantage III the
march OF progress thus handicapped.
The cash balance does not compen-
safe the state for the absence OF do
main. Accumulations Of cash are in
some cases very desirable, but in our
case it seems TO be assuming the pro-
portions of a financial white ele-
