the only feasible way by which an uni

made on property situated in two or more
counties in this State. That we are OPP
posed to any diversion or interference
with the Public School Fund for sectsrian
purposes; that we view with alarm the
acquisition OF large bodies OF land in this
country by wealthy aliens, and we believe
that legislation should be had restricting
such acquisitions for the future; that the
public lands should be reserved BY the
General Government for actual settlers,
and that there should be no monopoly OF

Democratic host, for the reason that tie
achievement of the Government is an un-
dertaking now too heavy for his failing
strength, enforcing this that his life has
been prolonged until the general Judgment
of his fellow-countrymen unites in the
wish that the wrong were righted IN
his person. The Democrats Of the United
States offer him upon his withdrawal
from these cares, not only respectful
sympathy and esteem. but, also, that best
homage OF freedom, the pledge Of devo-
ton to the principles and course we deem
inseparable in the history Of the Republic
from its leaders and the name Of Samuel
J.. Tilden. With this statement OF the
hopes, principles and purposes of the
Democratic party, the great issue OF re-
form and change in the administration is

more favorable conditions, for the growth
of industry, extension Of trade, employ

A Famous America Belle.

Among the reigning bellies Of Wash.

century, says Ben. Perley Poore, were
the Misses Canton, of Baltimore. The
eldest, when young, was married to
Mr.. Robert Patterson, a wealthy Bait.
more merchant, with whom she Travelled
in Europe, where she attracted the at
tention of Sir WELLESLEY, afrerward Duke
of Wellington. He followed her from
city to city in Europe, and by his I'M
garded devotion incurred not a little
scandal. After her return, her admirer
wrote her by every sailing packet a
diary of the society movements in Lon
don. When she became a widow she
revisited England, but the future hero
of Waterloo had meanwhile married,
and was unable to offer his hand. He,
however, introduced his elder brother,
the Marquis of WELLESLEY, who had early
in life cordially supported American in
dependence, and he soon afterward be-
came her husband. Sir Arthur contin-
ued, through his glorious career. to be
one of the warmest of her friends until
her death, near London, in December,
1853. One of her sisters was married
to Col. Hervey, who served on the Duke
of Wellington's staff in the battle Of
Waterloo, and becoming a widow she
subsequently married the Marquis
Camarthen, afterward the Duke Of
Leeds. Another sister married Baron
Stafford, and another Mr.. McTavish,
who was for many years the British
Consul at Baltimore.

Civil service reform meets a good
many obstacles, but it continues to gain
ground. The Pension Office recently
found it -nescessary to appoint sixty-fve
expert examiners to make personal in
vestigation of claims for pensions. I'm
der the old system there would have
been a tremendous fight for such a lot
of patronage, and the officials would
have been overwhelmed with the
claims" of workers" Under the new
system the men had to undergo examin-
alton to determine their fitness. and
could not be appointed unless they had
proved themselves qualified for pension
work.

The stories of cannibalism connected

The stories of cannibalism connected
with the Greedy expedition, have
brought forth a statement, hitherto con-
cealed, that Captain McClintock of the
Sir John Franklin expedition, was shot
and eaten by the others for food. They
had reached the point of starvation
where it became a question whether all
should perish or one should die that
the others might live. The agreement
was unanimous that lots should be
drawn to see who should die first, and
the fatal lot fell to Capt. McClintock.
He yielded with composure to his fate.
He was shot, and his body became food
for the others. Whether this state
ment is true or not, the ~concealment of
the horrible story has worked no i'll to
anybody. The details of such things
afford no qualification to persons of or
binary sensibilities, and are decidedly
demoralizing.

CHARLES j. FoLGER E A
Sudden Death of the Secretary of the
Treasury FOlger at His Home at Geneva,
n, T.,

NJ K
Hon. Charles J.. Folger, secretary of the
treasury, died suddenly at his home at Geneva,
N. Y. at 4:55 Thursday afternoon. The only per-
sons present were Mrs. Hart, his deceased wife's
sister, DR.. Knapp and his law associates, his
family physician, DR.. A B. Smith, and his col
ored servant, James. DIR. Smith and Capt J..
S. Lewis had left him but a few minutes previ-
ously. Dr. Henry Foster, who has been there
two or three times as consulting physician, ar
rived on the 4:45 train, and was conveyed
to the Folger mansion by Dr.. Smith.
Mrs. Ernst, the secretary's sister. ar
rived by the same train. After the three last
named entered, the dying man gasped twice
and all was over. Secretary FOlger's two
daughters are in the ~Adirondacks. The elder
is in very feeble health. His son, Capt Charles
w. FOlger, is at Alexandria, Va All had been
written to come to Geneva, the telegraph not
being earlier resorted to, as a sudden termin-
alton was not apprehended. The secretary
returned for the last time to Geneva Wednes-
day evening, the 20 ult He called his family
physician the next morning, who gives the fol
lowing diagnosis of the case:
Great feebleness of the hearts action: con-
gestion of the middle lobe, right lung, and cap
ilary congestion of tbs bronchial tubes; torpid
liver; albuminous discharge of urine, showing
disease of the kidneys.
The doctor was informed tina the secretary
mad had hemorrhage OF the lungs three times
Of late, before his return. The first was while
out yachting with friends at New York, on
which occasion he discharged about a pint
Of blood. The secretary rode out daily
until the 29th ult, since which time
he kept his room, but did not wholly
abandon official work. He continued to an
swer important letters and kilograms up to We'd
nesday, and seemed reluctant to give up; yet
he was by no means unconscious of his critical
condition. He entrusted to his personal friend,
Capt Lewis, final messages to his family and
other directions of a confidential nature. With
in a few moments after the secretary expired.
Judge Folger was appointed secretary of the
treasury by President Arthur on the reor-
ganization of the cabinet soon after the
death of President Garfield. He had served
in that capacity nearly three years. At the
time of his appointment he was chief justice
of the court of. appeals of the State of New
York. Judge Folger has filled the high and
honorable position with fidelity, honesty, and
efficiency; earning the respect of the people
at large and the warmest regard of all in the
department. He had good executive ability,
and his thorough knowledge of law and his
well-trained judicial mind enabled him to
meet intelligently and successfully many i'm
portant questions. While strict in requiring
faithful service of all employees, he was always
kind and cOnsiderate toward his subordinates

1t has been understood for some time
that Chief Engineer Melville, who bare
Iy escaped with his life on the ill-fated
jeanette arctic expedition, is extremely
anxious to start on another expedition
to the pole, and it was lately reported
that several rich men had agreed to bear
the expense. Discoursing on this topic
the Brooklyn gives the general public
sentimentin saying: The average citizen
may consider Melville very foolish, but
he will recognize his right to be foolish
so long as a lot of rich fellows agree to
pay the bills. But that must be distinct
ly understood. One lesson is to be
learned from the experience of this
country in the North, and that is Il that
the government must be committed to no
more folly of this sort. If any millionaire
wants to send an expedition on his own
hook, well and good, but let it
be purely q private enterprise. The
government must not any longer
take the responsibility of sending brave
men who have enlisted in its service to
freeze and starve in the Arctics.

The 1ngress Into the Window.

Trinity steeple, which, is 2S6 feet high,
S now being repointed. The term "re-
pointing" as most of our readers are
aware, means filling up the chinks in
the masonry so as to keep out rain and
even dampness. Trinity steeple is a
beautiful piece of masonry, but safety
requires that it be kept in good con-
dition. The Job is a dizzy and danger
Gus one, but there are men here who will
assume any risk if they are only suff'
GENTLY paid. The workmen probably
receive SO a day, and perhaps more
/ we'll remember that, when the finish
ing touches were given to Trim ty stee-
pie, IA number of sailors were employed,
and, after the scaffolding had all been
removed, one of them crawled on the
outside from the bell-tower to the
highest window in the steeple, which
he entered in safety. This feat was
viewed by thousands, most of whom eX-
pected the poor fellow to fall, but he
chung to the protuberances with a
tenacious grip, and slowly made the as
cent and, when he entered the little
window, each one seemed to take .
long breath. This was done merelyas
a voluntary display of nerve and skill,
but when st. Pauls steeple was repair.

The Prince of Wales lately made a
speech before a railroad employers So
,iety, which embraced some interesting
statistics. The number of passengers
carried on railways running out of Lon
don in 1883 was, in round numbers,
eight hundred and sixty millions. In
1888 only IL persons were killed from
causes beyond their own control. This
fact speaks in amost u~nmistakable man
ner of the admirable management now
exercised in the working of railways,
and is a strong confirmation of the say
ing that a railway train is the safest
place in the world. AS compared with
this, up ward of 200 persons are annu-
ally killed in the streets of London.
The board of trade returns show some
curious statistics. In 1888 there were
81 suicides on the railways. Not a sin
gle passenger was killed from a cause
beyond his own control in England.
Two hundred and nInety-three persons
we're killed trespassing on the lines of
railways, and, during 1888, 40 horses,
50 beasts and COWS, 10 sheep, four dom
keys, and one deer was run over and
killed.
