THE red hot wrath of Republican
journals all over the county is poured
upon Senators Logan, Evarts and Tel.
Ter, all Republicans, because they fail
to discover sufficient indications of
fraud in the elections of Henery B..
Payne, Democratic Senator from
Ohio, to warrant an investigation by
the Senate. The idea that there are any
Republicans in high Official positions
who are not willing to adopt any
means or measures, no odds how
unwarranted or unjust they may be,
that might by even the faintest shad.
ow of possibility bring Democrat
and, especially one in high position,
into public scandal is preposterous.
Such conduct in these Senators is,in
the eyes ofthese opponents of Repub.
hcanism reprehensible if not damna.

ness of '76 and profited by the ex-
ample. What difference does it make
whether or not an investigation was
proper? 1t would have given the
Republican press cue and that is
all that is necessary in such case.
Even the Pan Electric investigation
should have taught them better.-TEx.

WHEN Parson Brownlow was Gov
ernor of Tennessee, Isham G.. Harris
was a Confederate and Brownlow run
him out of the State by offering $4,000
reward for his capture. Mr.. Harris,
who is now Senator from that State,
retaliates by offering in Congress,
and advocating, bill for the relief of
Mrs. Brownlow.

DIFFICULTY OF MAKING MILLION -
Millions are talked about glibly in these
times without clear understanding OF
the enormous sum represented by the
$50, 600, 600 left by Cornelius Vanderbilt,
the elder, or the $500, 900, 600 left by VIII.
liam H. Vanderbilt to his sons. A Chi
cago preacher helps one TO realize the
magnitude of such fortunes by noting
that IL Cornelius Vanderbilt had been
born at the beginning of the Christian
era and had saved $4,000 year ever
since, no would not yet have made up his
fortune of $50, 600, 900 !; and that if Will
liam "a. Vanderbilt had been contem.
porary of Adam, and had saved at the
rate of $25, 900 per annum, he would still
have been far short of his $500, 900, 900 at
the time of his death, and would still
have had to toll and save for 2,115 years
in the future before amassing his fortune
OF 5000 OO0, 900.

The cold wave that swept over the
country on Saturday night, and that still
continues, is the severest known for fifty
years, taking into consideration its wide
sweep. While it has not been phenomen
ally severe in the North, in the South
such weather has never before been
known, the cold there having been great
err than at the North, in Charleston, S. @.
the thermometer reaching eight degrees
below zero. At Savannah, Geo the cold
has been nearly as severe, and several
persons have been frozen to death. In
Florida the cold has been great and the
oranges have been frozen on the trees.
The only place in the United States, as far
as heard from, where the cold did not get
below the freezing point was at Calves
ton, Texas, where it came within de-
gree or two of it. One can imagine the
discomforts and suffering entailed upon
the South by such cold, without houses
and clothing design for winter weather
and without the heaters and furnaces in
buildings that render such weather en-
durable.

Wednesday, Jan. 10, 1885.

Some of the newspapers, in noticing
the resignation of ]. A. Anderson, Esq,
of this city, as Superintendent of the Bel
videre Division of the Penn. R. r seem
to congratulate themselves on the bright
prospects of Sunday trains, owing to the
change. It is high compliment to Mr..
Anderson that they unconsciously pay
him, when they intimate that he has stood
in the way of that questionable innovation.
We are glad that here and there, there
is railroad official who brings his con-
science into his profession. But these
Sunday train advocates need not feel too
sure of Sunday trains on the Belvidere
Division. 1t is not at all likely that they
would pay, and with railroads the ques-
tion Of pay is q very important one.

John G. Stevens, President of the
United New Jersey Railroad Company
committed suicide by shooting himself Ia
the head with pistol, at his Office in the
company's building at Trenton, on We'd
nesday afternoon last. He was alone at
the lime, the Secretary having gone out a
few moments previously. MIR. Stevens
was nephew Of the late Edwin A. Stew
ems, of Hobokcn and about G5 years of
age. He was one of the most distinguish
ed canal engineers in the country and was
high authority in all those matters.
For many years his habits had not been
regular, which doubtless at times affected
his mind. Something over year ago he
was found nearly suffocated with gas in
room in Sixth avenue, New York. Once
before, it is said, he took an overdose OF
choral, and nearly died. Two members
of the family are said to have been in
mates of insane asylums.

Usage SORROW

Candy A. Gilbert, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed. Gilbert, died at his home in
Usage Township, Allen county, Kan.
sas, at s:45 O'Clock, January q, 1885.
He was born the 10Th of June, 1875,
thus being ten years seven months and
eight days old at his death. His death
not only brings sorrow to one house
but to many for none knew him but to
love him. Since early childhood he
has been in delicate health and was on
that account the pet of the family. He
was of most amiable disposition and
was much beloved by his school mates
and all who knew him. AS scholar
he wasapt to learn and loved his books,
being particularly fond of music. He
was buried on Thursday, the funeral
services being held at the residence
aud at the Presbyterian church. The
services were very largely attended,
more than SO teams being in the pro-
cession. The sad faces of all present
bore evidence of the esteem in which
the deceased was held, and the sympa-
thy felt for the bereaved family. I
will say in conclusion that the parents
tender their heartfelt thanks to friends
for their kind assistance during their
sons sickness. G. w. TROUT.
