ROSCOE CONKLING DEAD.


Conkling is dead. The brightest star that
has shone in the political armament of the
Union for the past twenty years is gone from
our skies forever. A statesman and patriot
of surprising abilities, standing like giant
amid the great Of his day; power in the
land and q leader of men where millions of
men and money and the des:inies of the
Union itself were at stake, with opportunity
for gain and place thrust upon him, he was
ever true and equal to every public duty,
ever foremost and mightiest in the fray, and
yet when he stepped from public life to pri.
vate station, not even personal nor partizan
enmity nor the brazen breath of calumny
dare breathe upon his spotless integrity and
brilliant record. In all the annals of the
world his peers are few. But he was human
and he had pride. Into his career We believe
that one abnormal trait infused all the sor-
row of his public and domestic life-the one
only trait the result of which his friends
looked upon with regret, and which was
beyond the mastery even Of his majestic
mind. mm". Mm ..=.. ...-..
Roscoe Conkling was born at Albion, N.
Y, Oct. 30, 1929. Elected to the House in
1858 and 1860, and to the United States Sen.
ate in 1867, and holding until he resigned iu
1881, the best years of his life we're spent in
Congress, and no other man left upon the
worthy legislation of the land broader and
deeper impress than he did. His record
would fill volumes and not one stain upon
them all. An act Of ingratitude from an
administration that would not have been but
for U. S. Grant and Roscoe Conkling
wounded him sorely. He resigned, was not
reelected and has since been in private life,
declining even the appointment of Justice
OF the Supreme Court, which was rendered
him. We had hoped to see Conkllng live
until in q perhaps grander maturity the Re-
publican party should rise above old es-
trangements that should never have existed
and, granting that honor 1t once denied him,
call him to the Chief Magistracy to adorn
position held by Washington and Lincoln.
1t was not to be. In the prime Of life he has
fallen, and America has lost its greatest citi-
zen. Honored be his name-always.

An Old Servitor.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 13.-One of
the familiar faces at the navy department
for many years has been that of Lindsay
Muse, IN ancient colored man who has
stood guard at the door Of the Secretaries of
the Navy ever since 1928. BE came into the
service Of the government with the admins
tration of John QuiRcy Adams, when Sam
uel Southland was the Secretary of the Navy,
and has been on duty ever since. He ap-
proximates his age at 80 years. Of late he
has been growing feeble, and about ten days
ago he caught cold that settled into rheu-
matism and forced him to leave his post and
stay at home. It is not expected that he
will ever resume bis post at the Secretary's

at Fort Missouia, Montana. Col. E. G.
Mason, who has just been promoted to be
Colonel of the Third Infantry, is at present
acting Inspector. General of the Department
of Dakota, and stationed at St. Paul, but
will doubtless be assigned to the command
of his regiment and take station wherever
the headquarters of his regiment may be

The most extensive change Of location Of

transfer, including those of Montana. The
Third Infantry gets the best Of it, going
principally to Forts Smelling, Minn., and
Meade and Sisseton, Oak. The Fifth Infan-
try will not feel that it is we'll treated. It
has been west of the Mississippi longer, we
believe, than any regiment in the service,
and is now transferred to Texas, while it
felt by right entitled to Atlanta-the best
