The Death OF President Harrison.

President Harrison's gallant horse
manship, and the clear tones of his
trumpet voice on the day of his inaug-
uration, gave assurances that he pos
sessed health and strength equal to the
arduous duties which lay before him.
But the wild hunt after office, and the
jealous wrangling among the leaders
of those who had so triumphantly
elected him. soon visibly affected him.
Some three weeks after he occupied
the White House, he was overtaken by
spring shower while taking his early
morning walk, and the following day
he felt indisposed. Pneumonia followed,
battling all medical skill, and although
he was much better on Saturday, April
B, an unfavorable change took place,
and he passed over the dark river gust
after midnight on April 4, just one
month after his Inauguration. The last
time that he spoke was about three
hours before he expired. when he
cleared his throat, and as though he
fancied himself addressing his success
or, he said: "Sir! I wish you to un-
derstand the true principles of the
Government. wish them carried out.
ask nothing more"
Secretary Webster Immediately sent
his son. Fletcher Webster, then clerk
in the Department of State to notify
Vice-President Tyler, who was at his
residence at Williamsburg, Virginia
He at once left for Washington, and ar
irving on the 9th of March, took lodgings
at Browns Hotel. The heads OF de-
partments waited upon him that day at
noon, and in their presence he took and
subscribed the oath of Office
On Wednesday, the remains of Presi-
dent Harrison were inferred with great
pomp and sincere demonstrations of
private sorrow. Minute guns were fred
from sunrise to sunset from the navy
yard. and the buildings on each side of
the entire length of Pennsylvania
avenue, with scarcely an exception, and
many houses on the contiguous streets,
were hung with festoons and entrances,
but in many cases from all the upper
stories. Almost every private dwelling
had Grape upon the knocker and bell
handle of its door, and many of the
very humblest abodes hung out some
spontaneous signal of the general sor-

even such as were too frequently seen

The military escort was larger than
that which, short month previous
had attracted so much attention at the
Inauguration. One of the most i'm
pressive features was the dismounted
and mounted officers of the army, navy,
militia, and volunteers. Seldom has
there been exhibited within space SO

sight Of whose well-known figures led
back our thoughts to many'a bloody

Of the procession was not less striking
than the military. 1t embraced the
civil and municipal officers, Congress,
with John Quincy Adams among the
representatives, the temperance organ

TRUE humanity consists not in a
squeamish ear: it consists not in start
ing or shrinking at tales OF misery, but
in disposition OF heart to relieve it.
True humanity appertains rather to the
mind than to the nerves, and prompts
men to use real and active endeavors to
execute the actions which it suggests

THERE are in many languages pro-
verbs relating to the sad fact that it is
not always the laborer that reaps the
fruits of his work. This is often
enough the case with the literary re-
search. One man does the work, but
another steps in at the last moment
and appropriates its most precious re-
suits. II labor" runs the Talmudic
proverb, "and thou tindest the pearl"
VIZ are forced, for the sake of ac-
cumulating power and knowledge. to
live in cities; but such advantages as
we have in association with each other
is in great part counterbalanced by our
loss of fellowship with nature. For
surely we know that the meadow grass,
meshed with fairy rings, is better than
the wood pavement cut into hexagons /;
and surely we know the fresh winds
and sunshine of the upland are better
than the choke-,iamp of the vault or
gaslight of the ballroom.-Ruskin.
No WOMAN can be the worse for pos
sessing brains. The hue and cry set
up against higher education. examine a.
tons and new openings for woman's
work, has hollow ring about it. Men
have sneaking suspicion that they are
not so intellectually superior as they
have been led to suppose. Unconscious
ly to themselves, they are afraid Of
being found out; or else, perhaps, they
are lazy, and are fearful of being stirred
up. Yet womanliness does not consist
in intellectually. The first thing in
which it does consist is self-respect-

PLAYING A DEMAGOGUE.

Some months ago the Reno Gazette,
which was doubtless inspired by corpor-
alton influences in San Francisco, an.
nounced that William M. Stewart, who
has not been actually nor constructively
a citizen of Nevada since the expiration
OF his Senatorial term in 1873, would be
a candidate for United States Senator
from this State to succeed Senator Fair.
Subsequent to this announcement Mr..
Stewart made occasional visits to Neva-
da, and published monograph on silver
In the Enterprise, which the S1LvERSTATE
learned from reliable source was the
joint production of himself and G.. w.
Baker OF Eureka. In this monograph
he asserted that silver was secretly and
traudulently demonetized in 1873 by
surreptitiously inserting section to
that effect in the Revised Statutes.
The SILVER STATE expressed the belief
that Mr.. Stewart, while Senator from
this State, voted for the bill to demon.
etize silver in 1873, but not having the
Congressional Globe of that date at
hand it could not positively assert that
he did so.
Now General r. M. Clarke in the
Reno Journal shows that Stewart is a
blatant demagogue, and his "mono-
graph" tissue Of falsehoods. He
shows from the record that there is not
a word or syllable on the subject of sill.
yer in the Revised Statutes that is not
contained in the Act of February II,
1873; that the attention of both Houses
OF Congress was repeatedly called to
the subject; that the bill was thoroughly
debated; and its provisions explained in
detail and well understood by the mem.
bers OF both Houses; that Mr.. Stewart
himself both spoke to and voted for the
bill; that Mr.. Stewards remarks are re.
corded in the Congressional Globe for
1901. on pages 81. 372, 1913, 374,
377, 1896 and 397. and that it passed the
Senate January 10, 1871, Mr.. Stewart
voting for the bill. The bill was amend
ed in the House, and returned to the
Senate in May, 1872, and discussed at
length, Mr.. Stewart participating in the
debates, and the Senate not concurring
in the House amendments, the bill was
referred to conference committee of
the two Houses and finally became
law in February. 1873, nearly three
years after its introduction.
General Clarke literally hays the
demagogue alive, and shows that while
Senator from Nevada he did not con.
slider silver coin good enough for the
bondholders, which in true sand lot
fashion he now denounces, hoping to
gain popularity by doing so, but advo-
Gated by voice and vote the passage of
bill demonetizing silver, by reducing
the legal tender quality of coins of that
metal to amounts not exceeding five
dollars.
In the face Of his record and falsehoods
on silver, no friend of that metal, be he
Republican or Democrat can support
William Nj. Stewart for United States
~
Senator from Nevada, even though he
should build dozen houses in Carson
In which to reside at intervals until
after the ensuing election.
