Judge Jere S. Black.

Judge Jeremiah Sullivan Black
died at his home at York, Pa, August
18th, 1888, in the 18th year of his age.
The immediate cause ofhis death was
toxamia produced by the absorption
Of the reclaimed urinary constituents.
He had been in feeble health for some
time but his friends had not ceased to
indulge tho hope OF his ultimate re-
covery. The Courier-Journal gives
this brief sketch of his life:
lie was born in the Glades, Somer-
set county, Pa, June 10, 1910. He
was admitted to the bar in 1880, was
appointed presiding Judge of the
judicial district In which he resided
in April, 1912, was elected Judge OF
the Supreme Court of the State IN
1851 and chosen Chief Justice. He
was reelected IN 1854. On March 5,
1857, he was appointed by President
Buchanan Attorney General of the
United States, which Office he held
till December, 1860, when he became
Secretary of State, and continued in
that position during the remainder
of President Buchanan's term. His
record as an able lawyer incorrupti'
BILE and fearless, needs no comment
here. He was a good man, Chris.
tan man, brave and God-fearing
and his great brain lifted him above
the tumult and the pollution of polit-
ical strife. No justep Judge, no pu-
rer man has figured in American his
tory. Genial always as he was uni
que ever hopeful for the future of the
Republic as he was reverent of the
men Of its great past: walking the
mountain ranges ofihe land he saw
sunlight and peace and prosperity in
the down-lying valleyi indifferent
to personal preferment, away beyond
all consideration of selfish interest
no man ofhis age deserved better OF
his party. His late dying words
typitied his life. "Oh, Thou, beloved
and must merciful Heavenly Father
from whom had my being and in
whom / have ever trusted, if 1t BIZ
Thy will, grant that my suffering end
and that l speedily be called home t.
thee; and, oh, may God bless ant
comfort thee, my Mary"
On tbe day of his funeral the pub
lie buildings Of Washington were
drlpcd, out of respect to the distin
gpished dead. In his death the coup
tpy hes lost one of its greatest states
men and the Democratic party one o.
its ablest leaders.

Spring Elections.

The democrats are taking time by the
forelock and organizing to make a vigor-
Gus fight at the town and city elections
soon to be held in this State. They are
carry ing on their work secretly, intending
to surprise the republicans on election
day and capture many places by well or
ganized and aggressive action. Meetings
to initiate and forward such movement
have already been held among the lead
ers Of the democracy assembled in this
city. The usual tricks of the opposition,
comprising independent and non. partisan
tickets, in towns or cities in which the
democrats are il a minority will be tried.
but where they are in a majority square
democratic tickets alone will be used
In view of the opposition which the
democrats have made to the submission of
the constitutional prohibitory amendment.
as seen by their votes in the legislature
and the bitter articles OF their newspapers
against it. they are without hope Of any
support from temperance men in their
schemes to carry the elections.
They have also injured themselves
greatly among the voters of the State by
giving active support to free traders in
the attempt made in Congress to strike
down and cripple some Of our leading in
dustries. Every democratic Senator IN
Congress voted squarely. at this session.
to place lumber on the free list. If this
succeeds, it will be most damaging blow
to Maine, dealt by the hands of the demo-
cratic party. and ought to cost that party
thousands of votes in this State.
If the republicans are wide-awake. &C
tive and united at the Spring elections,
the plans of the democrats to make gains
in towns and cities will come to naught.
Fore-warned is ,fore-armed. Let our
friends in every town see that they are not
caught mapping by the enemy. Let them
present strong and popular tickets. of
capable and trustworthy men, and give
them hearty support. Let the men en-
gagged in numbering be informed ofthe
blow struck at them by the democratic
senators in Washington, and warn them
against supporting = party which is thrust
ing the knife into them. The elections will
soon be at hand, but there is time enough
for republicans ii it only be properly en-
ployed.

FROM WASHINGTON.
TIE STAR ROUTE TRIAL.
Ex.Secretary Mcyeagh on the Witness
stand and Ex.Posimaster James.
WASHINGTON. Feb IL.

WASHINGTON, Feb IL.
In the criminal court this morning the
hearing in the star route trial. ex- Atty.-Gen.
McVeagh was placed upon the stand. He
testified he had a conversation with Reidell
in the early part of June, 1881. The witness
related the story of what is known as the
"Reidell confession" which has been al
ready published, using Reidell's language as
nearly as possible. He told of the formation
of conspiracy of methods of undertaking.
Methods of bookkeeping were detailed,
showing how Brady was known therein I'M
der a fictitious name. Wilson and Davidge
at this point renewed their objections to that
portion of the evidence relating to other de-
PENDANTS. The court said he did not see how
person could confess himself into a con-
spiracy without duplicating some one else,
for there must be two parties to conspire.
But Ingersoll opposed this view and said the
court would hear Mr.. Merrick despite the
objection by the defence. Mr.. Merrick then
proceeded with his argument. The court
finally decided not to admit Reidell's state
ment as to what share of the profits Brady
received. After another breeze between In
gersoll and Merrick the examination was re-
sumed. The witness said Reidell had some
books and papers in Dorsey's handwriting
that would corrObborate his statement, and
lie proposed going over to New York to OBJ
tain them. Ex-Postmaster-General James
was then called
4. Ex-Postmaster-General James testimony
WAS a substantial repetition of that given at
former trial. The witness was recalled in
connection with the Rawlins White River
route and to relate what that Reidell had
said to him about Dorsey and Brady. An
objection was made and long argument
followed. The defense contended that
Brady's official acts could not be adduced in
proof of the existence of conspiracy.
The court declined to except Brady from
the operation of evidence, for it must con-
Germ all the defendants equally.
The witness then proceeded. He said
Reidell told him that ex-senator Dorsey was
interested in the business and that they had
enough influence with Brady to secure an in
crease and expedition. The court soon after
adjourned.
