Of course he did! Sickening to a
certain class of Democrats. He said
in his card that while fighting for the
flag of his country he had been shot
by Democratic traitors.
It is claimed that the polygamous
Mormons of Utah, who have served
six months sentences, still declare their
intention of living with all their wives,
though they may have to be very sly
about it. Taking that view of the
case, there are good many men out
side the Mormon Church who hold to
the faith.
The report is that number of the
''hazers" at Kenyon College are very
uneasy lest they shall be expelled for
hazing Cincinnati boy This should
be promptly done. 1t is a good sign
that the Colleges Of the country are
rapidly getting out of the way Of con-
sidering outlawry species of smart
ness, and the few cases that occur from
time to time should be so severely
dealt with that those engaged in it
would remember it as long as they

There is nothing wears off the
rough places of this life, or places the
stamp of success upon mortal existence
so thoroughly as keeping strict eye
upon business opportunities-to be
watchful, or 'on the make" In this
connection, j. Fink Gilmore, of Prov
idence r. l., commands the admira-
tion of his fellow-countrymen. A few
days ago his wife gave birth to four
children. Fink was overjoyed. Within
four hours the last one of them was
dead. Fink was bowed down with the
weight Of great grief. But in the
midst of the grief and gloom, a con-
soling thought struck him, and the
last advices were to the effect that he
was making money right along by
exhibiting the litter of corpses, at an
admittance fee of ten cents. It is not
every woman who can give birth to a
whole dime museum at once.

Hon. John Sherman addressed
monster Republican meeting in Rich
mond Va. on last Saturday night, at
which he had an opportunity of study
ing the Democratic methods pretty
thoroughly. A large number Of Dem
ocrats gathered about the outskirts of
the crowd, and howled, jeered and at
tempted to insult the speaker, until
Capt. Wise, Republican candidate for
Governor, made an impassioned appeal
to them to act with common decency,
which aroused the police to action,
and suppressed the roughs. 1t has
always been a Democratic doctrine
that the truth is fatal to Democracy,
and no pains are spared to battle it
away. These ruf6ans in Richmond
only saw John Sherman. They did
not reflect that the whole country
was observing their outrageous action.

Gen. George B. McClellan-known
in the early days Of the war as 'Little
Mac" and ''The Little Napoleon" died
at his home, at Orange Mountain,
New Jersey, on last Thursday morn
ing, Of neuralgia Of the heart. He
was born at Philadelphia Pa, Dec. Sd
1926. He received thorough military
training, and after his appearance in
the field in command of great armies,
he was considered an excellent organ
izer by a great number Of admirers,
though history compels the admission
that he was even greater as disor-
ganizer. No man could put an army
in better fighting trim, and no man
could give that army less fighting to
do. But this was not caused by any
timidity on his part. 1t would per-
haps be utterly erroneous to accuse
Mcclellan Of cowardice. What he
seemed to lack was confidence in him
self, in the handling Of great armies
in rapid, offensive movements. Where
Mcclellan would await an onslaught
in an impregnable position, Grant
would make dash at the enemy and
cripple him. That was the great point
of difference in the two as commanders
Grant had confidence in himself.
Mcclellan had not. sMany Of his
movements were characterized bv
briiliancy, and at one time he was
considered by the whole country as
immeasurably above any other Captain
of modern times, with nothing but
martial glory ahead Of him. But his
great fault of hesitancy, coupled with
political indiscretion, rendered his re-
moval necessary. 1t is said of him
that the battle of Antietam gave him
Q confidence in himself which would
have rendered him successful through
the remaining experiences Of the war.
But it was then too late. During the
remaining days of the war, the need
Of glory he had won by excellent ser
