Newberry, on October 29th, in the fortieth
year of his age. Mr.. Broaddus comes of the
old Virginia family so prominent in the his
tory of the Baptist Church, and was wor-
thy descendant Of that illustrious family.
He was quiet, retiring, and reserved man.
1t was necessary to know him we'll to appre-
ciate his noble qualities. We did know
him we'll and we loved him. We admired
him for his pure Christian character, and we
loved him for his gentle atfectionate heart.
Mr.. Broaddus was recognized to be one of
the foremost men in the ministry of his
church in thisState and that Church and the
Masters cause have lost a faithful and de-
voted servant. 1t were work OF superero-

feeling so jovial that nobody on the car
could quite make out how to take him.
"Well," he finally said, as he turned to
an acquaintance, "I've bought it,"
"What ?'
"The paint"
"What paint"
"Why, for my house, of course. I've
lived in that house eighteen years and it
has never been painted. Everybody has
noticed how shabby it has always looked,
but couldn't help it you know"
'Couldn't you paint it anytime?"
''No. When it was finished 1 wanted to
paint it brown and trim with majender COL
ors. My wife wanted it yaller with green
trimmings. Neither of us would cave, and
so the house was never painted"
"And now?"

within comparatively modern times that
the term came to be considered an almost in
dispensable adjunct to every ones name

have to believe also that THIS Is Luz
vehement demand of the whole demo-
cratic party.
But lie would be a great goose 10
believe anything of the kind. Inc
democratic party is fairly well satlsneo
with the president 10 far; and as TO the
president, our Washington correspoh-
dent gives some accOun elsewhere OF
what he is thinking OF and causing to
be done, aside from reforming the pub
lie service in the many places where
reform is needed.
1t appears that the administration is
doing what the party in the last can
vass required to be done. 1t is "look-
ing at the books" 1t finds that In
many places and in many ways the
administrative business requires tight
.ninu up." To do this is necessary ana
highly important work; it is tedious
work, for which time and care are
needed. In the course OF doing 1t un-
faithful and incompetent public SER
v nts will be detected and weeded out.
But this work of Choking at the
books is infinitely lore important to
the country and to the democratic par

| wretched business OF Office peddling, to
| which a small brigade of persistent
office beggars and a few Blaine and
Butler organs are urging the presi-
dent.
This account of what Mr.. Cleveland
and his cabinet are doing ought to ill
| every democrat with satisfaction, for il
shows at every step of it that the heads
of the party are doing the work fol
which they were put in Office and JUS
tifying the result of the presidential
election.

as a very necessary step i'll fiscal re-
