Gov. julius Converse died in Dixville
Notch, N. H., Sunday, Aug. lG, in the
S7th year of his age. Mr., Converse,
a quarter of century ago, was one OF
the leading lawyers of Windsor county
bar, and the law firm of Tracy Il Con-
verse had state and national reputa-
ton for legal ocumen that few law
firms enjoyed; and later, the firm of
Converse & French. A few years ago
he lost his family suddenly by death,
wife, sister and niece-all within Il
month-which we think unsettled his
mind, and he leaned upon Others for
support. Shortly after softening of
the brain set in and he has been a
mental wreck ever since. 1t is sad to
see the curtain drop before the foot
lights 90 out. He leaves a young wild.
ow and a daughter some ten years old.
His remains were brought here ycster-
day for burial, and his funeral will
take place at his late residence at three
O'Clock this afternoon.
Our whilom friend, Frank B. Tillot-

the courage to take one wife, the offer
of six in bunch Frustrated him, and
he took the first train out of the city,
and is now recuperating in Ogden.-
Frank reports railroading in the West
very hard at the present time and he
advises all railroad boys IN the east to
remain here cohtented until the revival
of better times.

Judge Thurman of Ohio thinks
there is no need to inquire whether or
not the present administration is doing
the best thing for the democratic party
so long as it is doing the best thing for
the country. He says parties are not
organized to divide up official patron
age but to give the country good gov
eminent, and so long as they succeed
in governing wisely they are certain to
have their share of the offices. If the
politicians could only bring themselves
10 believe this they would be spared
many useless fears about the future.

A Bright Outlook for tho Pacific Coast,

A cheerful view of affairs politically and
in business way on this coast was taken by
Loring Pickering, editor OF the San Francis
co Call, while in Chicago recently. He said
do not think the electlon of Leland Stan
ford to the senate will commit California
republicans to the railroad cause. The bit
ter feeling against the Pacific road has OF
late been dying out, as other roads have been
built, the general idea being that none were
making any too much money. That Stan
ford will devote his immense fortune to pub
lie ends is the prevailing impression, which
seems to be well grounded. He has a man
now looking over various plans. Among
them are plans for school for mechanical
training of workmen, which will be at Menlo
Park, and great museum in San Francisco.
The latter was the project of the dead son,
and his ideas will be faithfully carried out.
Mrs. Stanford has been on the graves brink
for several years, and am convinced that
it is the intention of both she and her hus-
together with their fortune, to the general
good of the state.
Speaking of business on the Pacific slope,
Mr. Pickering said: Its entire labor was EN-.
ployetl, and all in all, it was much better
than was anticipated. With the low price
of wheat last fall farmers had turned to pro-
ducing other crops which had paid well. and
general Industries were looking up. Nevada
was for the time falling back, but as soon as
labor went down to So per day instead of 4,
mines could be worked more extensively
than at any time hitherto and the state would
make shoot upwards. 1t was hoped that
Cleveland's secretary of the treasury would
rule differently OIL the admission of Chinese
than had Secretary McCulioch, and this
would remove the last good ground for com
plaint against restriction not being sufficient
ly operative.
