A Preachers Tribute To Gen. Hancock

DR.. John r. Paxton, pastor OF the
West Presbyterian church, of this city,
paid a brief but eloquent tribute on
Sunday last to the memory of his old
commander. the late General Hancock.
Preaching from the text, "She hath
done what she could" he said at the
close of his sermon: "They buried
Yesterday my old COMMUNICATIVE ideal
soldier-the pure patriot-the noblest
man-the stainless name-gentle as a
woman, with a voice low and caressing
as love in the camp and at the freside,
but heroic as Cid, and with a voice of
thunder in the battle to inspire and
command. And l shall see his faceI no
more. But while life lasts be will live in
/ my memory, admiration and love as the
/ grandest figure l ever saw. L once saw

followed him-from Fredericksburg To

world is emptied =; the country poorer in
patriots, but richer in treasured memo
ries and immortal names. Glorious

HoN. WILLIAM E. FORSTER, con-
spicuous figure in English politics few
years ago, died In London early last
week, in the sixty-eightE yeaI of his
age. He was the we'll known former
Chief Secretary Of Ireland under Mr..
Gladstone and the author of the repres-
sion measures against that country at
the Parliamentary session OF 1881. 1t
was at his instance that Father Sheedy
and John Dillon were arrested IN the
summer Of that year and sent to Kill
mainham Prison, Dublin, where they
we're followed in the following October
by Parpell, William O'Brien, editor of
United Ireland, Sexton and O'Kelly.
Forster resigned his Office in 1892 in
consequence of Mr.. Gladstone's new
policy OF conciliation towards Ireland.
He was called "Buckshot" Forster be-
cause he advocated the substitution oi
buckshot cartridges for the usual bal
cartridges used by the Irish constabu
Iarv. IL was Forster who in speech ii
Parliamen. attacking the Land League
gave Parnell the ti.ie Of the "Uncrown
cd King of Ireland" He was man o
great decision of character and possessed
abilities of a very high order. but h'
prostituted them in his advocacy of tn,
most vindictive and cOeTcive Legislation
against Ireland, for whose people b
seemed to have no mercy, notwithstand
ing the fact that he was the son of al
English Quaker. 1t is SAID that hi
last words were s'No Home Rule"

THE terms for which many OF the
officials suspended by President CleYe-
land we're originally appointed having
expired. he has decided to withdraw the
nominations originally made to succeed
them and renominate the same persons
to fill the vacancies, so as to remove
them from the Jurisdiction of the Re-
publican caucus, and leave the Senate
without an excuse to reject them. The
long list OF nominations sent TO tbs
Senate on Friday was almost entirely
composed Of this class Of cases, and the
several heads OF departments are exam

THE question of silver dollar coinage
which has been the subject Of vast
amount of windy discussion during the
present session of Congress, was finally
disposed of on yesterday week by leav-
ing the coinage where it is now. Tie
bill for the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver dollars was defeated by vote OF
l2O yeas to 163 nays, and the bill to sus-
perd the coinage of silver dollars after
July l, 1889, was defeated by the deci-
sive vote of POI nays to 81 ayes. The
vote against the latter bill was mainly
cast by tie members from the Western
and Southern States, and the vote in
favor of suspension came almost wholly
from the Middle and Eastern States
The free coinage bill received the vote;
of three members from this State, viz.
Brumm, Curtin and White, and twenty
members Of the delegation voted agains
It. Five members, Campbell. jackson
Kelly, Negley and Storm, were absen
or did not vote.

The State Finances.

If the report of State Treasurer LlV-
sey for the year 1885 demonstrates any
thing clearly, it is that the estimates or
fiscal officers as to the income to the
State from given revenue laws are OF no
value whatever. The estimates for the
general fund of the State for the year
were s4.475. 500. The actual receipts
were Sc, 1862, SO. .92, or more than forty
per cent. above the estimate. Thls
large increase occurred under the work
ings of the old law, which had been IN
force in its main features for years.
An estimate under the new law, Whlch
is being fought in the courts at many
noints. would be still more unreliable.
The condition of the State debt may
he said to be very satisfactory. The to-
ial interest bearing debt is placed at
| S17. .S14. 500. As an offset the State
| holds in its sinking fund, railway and
| governments bonds to the amount OF
! SS. .OOo. 600, leaving the net debt about
/ SO, 600, 600. As this Indebtedness is
| being decreased under :he present laws
| at the rate of three quarters OF MILL
/ ion yearly, the Commonwealth may
! confidently look forward to being eleal
| of debt in a short time il the present
policy is maintained as it should be.
Tue danger that the debt will not con
tinue to decrease as rapidly as the con
dition of the Stat finances warrant lle
in the constantly growing tendency q
appropriate money for alleged charlta
BILE purposes. Treasurer Livsey ha'
classified the expenditures under exist
ing laws for the current year, showing
that for schools, common, orphan ant
normal, 81, ,534, 600 will be required TO
charities, penitentiaaies and care of IN

It's ingredients are safe, and its credentials,
which consist in the hearty endorsement of
