Dead.


In the early morning OF her womanhood
when life apparently possessed so much that
was worth the living, Mary G. Flemming
received the summons to quit her earthly
tenement. Although for years not physi-
cally strong and especially during the past
twelvemonth was she an intense sufferer yet
she bore her afflictions as a heroine. Her
mother states that not one word Of discon-
tent escaped the lips Of her devoted daugh-
ter; and when her pastor, Dr. Martin, spoke
to her of the transition stage, which she
so rapidly was nearing, she placidly replied
that death had no ttrrors for her Miss
Mollie, as she was famliaily called by her
host of friends, lived an exceptionally SWEET
and happy life. She possessed that intuitive
faculty of making steadfast friendship, and
ilnumerable are the expressions of heart
felt sympathy for tbe mother in this hour
Of her desolation. From the bier of the
atfectionate sister, the loving and dutiful
daughter comes the consolation that sit is
all not of life to live, nor all of death to
die'' In the midst of the attractions of life
the de- eased was ever mindful of the iudg.
ment that awaited her, and she 50 lived that
death for her had no te RI.
Her life and her death appeal to all to
$50 live, that, when thy summons comes to
join
The innumerable caravan, that moves
70 that mysterious realm where each shall
take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not like the quarry slave at night
Scourged to his dungeon; but sustained and
soothed
BY an unialtering trust, approach thy grave
Like one that wraps the drapery of his
couch
About him.. and lies down to pleasant
dreams.'
The obsequies will take place at the resi-
dence of her mother, Mrs Miller, $50
Adams street, Monday, November Och, at
half past one o'clock.

The people may be trusted. They have
rebuked the unpatriotic attempt Of the Re-

The election of Gov. Hill is no ordinary
triumph, Il is al event unusually important
and encouraging to the Democracy and TO
the friends Of real popular selG-government.
1t is far more significant than would have
been an ordinary victory won through the
influence and with the active aid of the Ma

Under these circumstances what does the

The SOldier-The Statesman-The
Honored of All Men, Buried.

The quiet, unpretentious and dgnifie
funeral of General Mcclellan was i'll har-
mony with his life and character. No man
of our time has won to himself higher
measure of personal respect and esteem or
had inspired such measure of affectonate
devotion among all who had come in con-
tact with him. and there was no limit to
the manifestations of honor to his memory i,
whether military or civic, that would have
been lavished in New York had such demon
stration been invited. But it was known to
be in accordance with General Mcclellan S
own wishes and with the taste and feelings
of his family that there should be no parade
at his funeral His body was quietly borne
to church, accompanied by his immediate
friends and by some of the foremost of his
old comrades in arms, and after the simple
religious services were over it was as quietly
borne to its last resting place, follow ed by
the sincere and sympathetic sorrow of mill
ions Of people, but with none of the trap
pings of an artificial mourning.
The contrast thus presented 10 the recent
funeral of another distinguished soldier in
the same city is fall of significance. Loved
and esteemed as few commanders have ever
been, as soldier, scholar, statesman and
gentleman, McClellan's whole life had been
one Of modest and dignified devotion to the
loftiest duty and any pretentious display at
his funeral would have been as discordant
with his character as with the deep and sin
cere sorrow which the loss of such man
has inspired.
The oalgar parade, The artificial appeals to
sympathy, The public display Of private grief,
ol!h aolich the country has but recently been
a0edTied, could haze no place at the grace OF
Mcclellan. Aud there will be no loud des.
putatlon about his monument. His name
is secure in history and in the grateful es-

may thus be summarized-in Ohio the Presi.
dent professed great friendship for HoadIy,
in New York the President opposed The
nomination OF Hill and was apathetical con.
cerning his election, but Hoadly was defeat,
ed and Hill was elected by majority twenty
times greater than was acceded to Grover
Cleveland one year ago. Verify the Presi-
dents malediction is more salutary than his
benediction.
Since President Cleveland's induction into
Office he has given more consideration to the
fifty thousand independents who supported
him, than he has to the five million sturdy
Democratic voters who gave him their en-
thusastic support. He has alienated him
self from the rank and file of his party and
the sooner the democracy ask for an abso-
Lutte divorce from its dishy-washy figure
head the better it will be for the party.
If Mr.. Cleveland had been a candidate this
year instead of Governor Hill, he would
have been most disastrously defeated, as a
rebuke for his namby- pambyisn.
A reporter of the Star who has had oppor-
tunity to meet with many Democrats about
the hotels and Government Offices writes
that the general drift of comment indicated
that the preponderence of the Democratic
sentiment is not in sympathy with the
methods which the President has adopted.
1t seems to be clearly what is frequently
termed "old-fashioned Democracy" which
holds, with the new Mayor of Baltimore, that
under Democratic rule none but Democrats
should share in the fruit of patronage.
There are indications, too, in the comment
of Democrats which tend to show that the
Administration is not to receive any share
of credit for the Democratic successes. The
alleged opposition Of the President to ~
ernor Hills nomination and his refusal to
write letter during the canvass in behalf of
the ticket are spoken of with emphasis.
Apparently it is the intention of that ele-
ment of the party which adheres to the old
Jacksonian ideas to maintain that the New
York contest was fought aud won on a line
diametrically opposed to the Presidents
policy; that it was straight Democratic
victory, and emphasizes the belief of the
party in its old time principles.
At any rate, the Democrats who condemn
the Presidents course with regard to filling
the offices are very much encouraged at the
result in New York, and claim that it will
retrengthen the hands OF that element of the
party which will take issue in the next Con-
gress with the Administration.
The Democrats of Delaware, the Demo
Gratis Of New York, and the Democrats of
the east, the west, the north, and the south,
send their execrations to President Cleveland
in these words: because you were neither
hot nor cold, will we spew you out of our
mouths" -...

Now, as regards capital in the country, be-

for the last two decades, the above is not the
case, and the Herald's correspondent is either
notoriously misinformed or is occupied in
the irresponsible business of manufacturing
news. Did that gentleman wish to furnish
the New York bureau upon facts which
every banker of New York city is, or might
be possessed Of, he need only have taken
momentary glance through the official bank
returns of the various prominent Irish Banks.
That over-hasty correspondent would then
have seen not that capital was absent from
Ireland OF that the vaults of Irish banks were
depleted. He would have seen something
near the following as an exhibit. Taking

some score Of other banks in Ireland, such
as the Hibernian aud local banks which have
more or less money on deposit. Dciing
some years the amount of savings in the
larger Irish banks is double the amount
above quoted, hardly ever less.
However it is quite within bounds to state
that the total deposit account stored up in
the Irish banks, awaiting the call Of any
genuine home investment. is not less than
from $3.50, 100000 to 5000, 1000, 600! These
are ascertainable figures.
They show, if nothing else the looseness
with which assertions are made by the cor.
respondents of such prominent journals as

CLEVELAND AGAIN REBUKED

Just how President Cleveland can extrac t
even an iota of comfort from the election of
Governor Hill, of New York, passeth the
understanding of the avera,g man.
The comparatively few Federal appoint
ments made in New York have been in the
mugwumpian interest. President Cleveland
not only cut loose from the trusted leaders
of the party which made it possible for him
to be President, but he also took counsel OF
those who have no interest in democratic
tIiumphs
Those who where in the conf dence of the
President unhesitatingly declared that not
only was he opposed to the nomination OF
Governor Hill, but after the nomination,
when David B. Hill was named as the
Gubernatorial candidate, there came not one
word of encouragement from Washington
for the success of the New York Democracy
In the light of President Cleveland's un-
democratic methods it borders on the ridcu-
lous to hear one satellite of the President
claim that the election of Governor Hill
was an endorsement of President Cleveland.
When Governor Hill accepted the nomination
he distinctly declared that the mandates of
the people should be obeyed, and if elected
the offices of the Empire State should be
filed with the faithful. .#.
When brother-in-iaw Bacon proclaimed
from the steps of the White House that
brother-in-law Cleveland was in sympathy
with the Republican candidate, Davenport,
not one single protest was heard from Gro
yer Cleveland.
When every mugwumpian sheet in New
York, which had supported the candidacy of
Grover Cleveland, declared that the election
of Ira Davenport meant the endorsement
of the Federal administration, the President
preserved q silence which was truly omi-
nous.
When the Philadelphia Times stated that
President Cleveland was everything that
Governor Hill was not and that the defeat of
Governor Hill would not cause an overflow
ing of the presidential lachrymal ducts, the
President simply smiled.
II President Cleveland had had an interest
in the success Of his party and possessed
any political influence it is fair to suppose
that that influence could have been felt in
the city Of Buffalo where he had lived for a
number of years, but as matter of record

and as private individual he brought home
to this country the results of technical OBJ

practical advantage in his own state Of New

inspiring the Trenton Potteres' managers
with the ambition to produce fine work. AT

at him, but he finally won them over, AID

and treating him as they did as an art

tion. General Mcclellan saw at a glance
what was needed in the ceramic productions
at Trenton. He knew what was needed in

managers themselves of the Pottery works.
Hitherto their productions found no sale

Business was fat. There was not that de-
mand upon the order books that the large
plant Of the Trenton potteries with their
numerous employees would justly call for
in such an extensive undertaking. George
b. Mcclellan, from his wide and fine taste
saw that the manufactured output was not
Of marketable grade. He not only perceived
that, but volunteered to the managers prac
tical information aud technical direction bv
which they might gain the desired trade.
He raised the entire artistic grade of the
work. He demonstrated what nature of
goods were in demand. Showed instances
of the beautiful and cheap ceramic goods
that were on the European market. He fired
the Trenton pottery artists with his own
elevated taste, converted the managers to his
own views, and stood by them till the results
of his teachings obtained practical success
