Gen. Daniel Tyler, q Son-ir-Law OF
Gen. Israel Putnam.

0Ohs 1oi LOO AtilaIu.
General Daniel Tyler, whose death
in New York has been announced, was
born in Brooklyn, Window county,
Connecticut, in 1859 His father,
Captain Daniel Tyler, a graduate in
l771 at Harvard college, married for
his first wife the daughter of General
Israel Putnam, and served as his aid
at the battle Of Bunker Hill, and for
a considerable period during the revo.
lutionary war. The second wife of
Captain Tyler, the mother of General
Daniel Tyler, was Sarah Plerpont
Edwards, the eldest granddaughter of
Jonathan Edwards, the theologian.
General Tyler graduated at West
Point, in 1919, as the second lieuten-
ant of artillery. At the time of his
decease he was believed to be the eld-
est living graduate, and was president
of the Alumni association at that in
stitution. After several years served
in the artillery school of practice at
Fortress Monroe, and elsewhere, he
was sent. in 1922, on professional
duty to France, where through the
friendship of General Lafayette, he
entered the military school at Metz,
and afterwards at Strasbourg. He
translated from the French the "Man.
euvres Of Artillery" which laid
the foundation of the light artillery
service in the American army. Re.
signing from the army in 1884, he en-
tered upon civil life in connection
with iron making, railroads and other
internal improvements. He was presi.
dent successively of the Norwich and
Worcester railroad company, the
Morris canal and banking company,
the Macon and Western railroad COM
pany, the Cumberland Valley railroad
company and of the Mobile and Mont.
gomery railroad company, besides
having important connection with
many other similar enterprises.
At the breaking out of the war he
rendered his services to the governor
of Connecticut and was appointed
colonel of the First Connecticut
Volunteers, and afterwards brigadiel
general of the state forces. In THU
capacity he commanded a division In
the Manassas campaign of 1861, ano
was present at Blackford's Ford and
the first battle of Bull. Run. In 1867
he was appointed a brigadier genera
of volunteers in the United States
service, and served in the Mississippi
campaign of 1862, the seige of Cor
NTH, and wal in command at Harper
Ferry aud Maryland Heights wher
the rebel army invaded Pennsylvania,
He was q man of unusn4i vigor OF
intellect and force of character. II
HIS old age, up to within lew months
no retained his facultieE, both physica
and mental, i'll the most Extraordinary
manner. His relations to men anG
events throughout his long life, il
which he was brought in contact, ant
knew intimately many of the leading
men upon the stage, made him q yer.
interesting personage. He was tn
last survivor of a numerous, family
who were distir guished for theil

vived several years, was the sister o

4HE TaANsTT OF VENUS

The transit of venus over the face
of the sub, which begins al thirty-fve
minutes past seven this morning, is
the most interesting astronomical
event Of the century. It will be OBJ
served all over tho world by the most
skilled of scientists, furnished with
the best appliances which money can
procure. In North and South America,
in Africa and Australia eager eyes will
be scanning the sun to-day to catch
the exact second of tho planets
contact with it's disc and to photo
graph its progress across the great
luminary.
The Importance of observations OF
the transit of Venus arises from the
fact that they give US the most certain
means of determining the distances oil
the members of the solar system from
the earth. AS the position OF Venus
on the sunat the same moment appears
different to observers at different por
tons of the earth, it becomes
possible TO determine how grea
q displacement of Venus arises for 81
many miles of distance between tn
observers on the earth. And this
exactly equivalent to determining th,
distance of Venus from the earth, jus
as q surveyor can determine distance
by observations from a measured bas
line. When the distance Of Venus j
thus a~scertsined ii becomes an cas-
matter by using Keplsr's Third Law
TO determine the distance of the othe
planets, and in fact the scale of tn
entire solar system.
This is the reason why such earnes
hopes for clear weather have been ea
pressed. Another December transi
of Venus will not occur for 243 yearl
and it will be more than 100 years b.
fore the phenomena will BIO agai
witnessed. Our government has ar
propriatea $50, 900 for purposes G
observation and eight parties will aa
sist .in the work. Any one with
common opera glass a observe tn
phenomena Of the transit,

A LATE

K. K. Valentine has been In con-
gress three years and nine months.
Daring all this period he has never
discovered that the vast land grant Of
the Union Pacific, embracing several
million of acreein Nebraska has never
paid one dime Of any kind of tax.
The recent campaign, and especially
his ambition to play anti.monopolist
during the coming session of the leg
islature, has brought to his notice the
fact that the people of his state bear
a heavy burden of taxation which has
been shifted on chem from the shout
ders of the corporations. SO Mr..
Valentine has introduced a bill to
compel the q. P. to take out Its pat
ents. This Is, to say the least, some
what late In the reason. As far back
as 1874 q convention before which Mr.
Valentine was O candidate for secreta-
ry of state, embodied in its platform
a resolution endorsing what was then
known as Crounse's bill, to compel the
land grant railroads to pay their taxes.
That bill had passed the house but had
been pigeon-holed in the senate. But
Mr.. Valentine never heard of that
measure, and he who had been
receiver of q land Office wss not aware
that the railroads did not take out
patents for their lands until they dis
pose of them to settlers or spectators
and that as long as no patent is issued
the lands are not entered for taxation.
More than twelve months ago Gen.
eral Van Wyck introduced q bill which
Ia now pending that will compel the
land grant roads to take out patents
on their aubsidy lands. Mr.. Valen.
tine could and should have followed
that up in the house but he hadn't
heard of it. Congressman Anderson,
of Kansas, more than eighteen months
ago introduced such q bill in the house
and there was o good deal of y strug-
gle over it. But the chairman of the
committee on agriculture wal as deaf
as q post. He hadn't one word to say
In favor Of the measure. During the
campaign when he denied his collision
with monopolles, he was asked why he
had not taken some step to compel the
railroads to pay and he very innocent
ly declared that he had never heard
that their lands were u~ntaxed, that
nobody had sent him a petition on that
subject and that he was amazed to
find that people were 80 excited over
the matter. He was probably Just as
much amazed when the Elkhorn VAL
ley railroad named Its terminus near
Fort Eiobrara, Valentine. Such com.
plimentu are always paid by railroads
to champion anti.monopolists.
But, perhaps, it is better late than
never. New converts are generally
very jealous. We shall, however, in
sist that Valentines probation be ek.
tended bsyond his present term before
we take much stock in him as an anti
monopolist. His bill, of course, is a
mere sop. There are already more
than a thousand bills on the calendar
that take precedence, and congress
must adjourn on the 4th of March.
If 1t takes action at all on this subject
during this session 1t will be either on
the Van Wyck or on the Anderson
bill, and no credit will be attached to
Valentine for bringing up a subject
hat has boon pending so long, and
which has even forced its way iuto the
presidents message.

The farmers business tnen, rightly con-
sidered, is an intellectual business, and, so
considered and so pursued, educates the
man who engages in ii. How mucn II
actually does educate even the ordinary
American farmer we see by his superior
intelligence over that of the agricultural
laborer of Europe, who ploughs and digs
and reaps, but does none OF the thinking
and planning for the farm. How much
more it might do for him in this way we
see in the case of the few really wide
awake and progressive farmers among us.
1t were very much to be wished that
more of the young men intending to be
farmers should avail themselves OF the
opportunities they have for superior edu-
cation in our schools and colleges. The
estm1te in which any class is held, and
the self respect enjoyed by its members,
will depend very much on the grade oil
education which prevails in its ranks
Every man who enters upon the business
of farming, well trained for his duties as
farmer and man, confers new respect
ability upon the class into which heenters,
and new dignity TO the calling he has
chosen. But let those who have not en-
loved all the facilities for education they
might have wished, follow out some such
course as | have sketched, and they may
become well-informed, intelligent men,
competent to act their part well in their
useful and honorable calling. and leave
the earth more fruitful and the world wiser
and better because of their lives.

Congressman D5uster Of the Milwaukee
district and Guenther of the Oshkosh dis
trict had a complime ntary dinner given
them by their fellow citizens of German
birth in Milwaukee last week. The i'm
mediate occasion of it was their having
obtained the passage Of bill making
salutary provisions as to emigrants on
their ocean passage. But there was talk
about the river and harbor bill which they
supported, and Mr.. DeuSter siid he would
vote for thirty millions instead of eighteen.
The Springfield Republican comments on
this, and thinks that it is going to worry
Mr.. Deuster, that the Milwaukee trades
unions give signs of going for democra-
tic ee~s.--------- III IL. E.-t t,i-oo tl4o
trades-unions are likely to vote for can
didate of their own, and in the next place
Mr.. Denster will no doubt be the demo-
cratic candidate. Mr. Guenther is the
republican representative Of German de
scent from Wisconsin and Mr. Deuster Is a
democrat. Besides the Republican ought
to be pleased at what took place in Mil
waukee, for the dinner is said to have
been sort of warning on the part of the
Germans to both parties that they don't
propose 10 be governed entirely by party
gathering.
