DEATH OF GENERAL SHERIDAN

General Sheridan is dead. The
illness which has been so closely
watched by the whole country reach
ed fatal termination last Sunday
night.
Few careers have more of interest
to the American people. Born Oh
Irish parents, he had all the valor OF
that race, and all the best traits OF
American culture. The air OF free.
dom expanded him as a noble type
of intrepid warrior and loyal citizen.
Trained to arms from youth, he need
ed but great opportunity to dis
play the splendor of his military tai.
ents, aud the civil war, the most 81
gantic Of the century, furnished the
field for martial prowess. which had
few rivals and no superiors in many
of the prime essentials for successful
leadership.
In the mighty battle-drama, he
was one of the most conspicuous ac-
tors, ranking with the loftlest spirits
of the tremendous conflict. While
he specially shone as cavalry COM
mander, he was scarcely less distin-
guished for the skill with which he
handled large forces of all arms. He
was quick to perceive the weak point
of an enemy, and prompt to strike,
illustrating the earlier tactics OF
Napoleon.
His personal presence kindled an
enthusiasm that was OF itself worth
thousand men, and while he was
one of the most brilliant of generals,
he was, at the same time, one of the
safest and most profound. In many
professional particulars he strlkingly
resembled the Russian General
Skobeleff, and some Plutarch OF a
coming time may institute compari-
sons between them, honorable to
both. General Sheridan, however,
had the happier fate of dying peace;
fully and living unexpectedly, which
cannot be recorded of the dazzling
Muscoyite chief. G 1a 4
In the glorious annals of his coun-
try and the imperishable fame of the
| Union, General Sheridan will be i'm.
mortally consecrated. He will live
in song and story, as well as in the
hearts of his countrymen. Life had
no further honors to bestow-none,
at least, that could add to his renown.
Death, though it saddens CONT.
nent and smites those who loved
him best with grief, has come with
a crown as we'll as crosss-Ameri.

Our readers have doubtless often noti-
ced that Hoods Sarsaparilla is well
spoken of in the newspapers. The press
is quick to recognize merit, and does
not hesitate to give praise where it is due
The following is from the Baptist
Weekly, leading religious paper:
" Advertising may bring an article
prominently before the public, but no
advertising can long help it if it has not
real merit. Hoods Sarsaparilla is well
advertised; but the best proof of its value
is that so many persons use it on the
recommendations of friends who have
proved its peculiar virtues"

CONSOLATION.

Dear Betty, when an hour ago
You scorned my humble offer
Because my lean and empty purse
Was not a welI-filled Golfer,
Why did you breathe your cruel 8 Mo-

Perhaps you thought meant to seek
Some suicidal river.

Take wiser ways and means TO end
A lovers desperation
And Corydon no longer signs
His heart away in sorrow,
But seeks a richer Phillis out
And wooes again tomorrow.

POLITICS OF THE SENATE.
THE UNCERTAIN COMPLEXION OF
THE NEXT SENATE.

All Indications Pointing to a Tie-Ths
Hold-over and Retiring Membership
and the Probabilities and Possibilities
of Action by the Various Legislatures.
WASHINGTON, May 18.-The elections
of legislatures are watched with eager
interest from the senate chamber, but
there is very small probability that the
impending tie will be ayerted. This adds
a good deal of interest to the selections
the two parties make for the vice presi-
DENTAL nominations. Republicans have
only two majority, and they have lost
one place to the Democrats by the cleo
ton of Mr.. Barbour to succeed Riddle
berger from Virginia. The Democrats
claim to have a chance of securing a sem
ator in Oregon. They point to the split
in the Republican party, which occurred
at the last senatorial election, when MI.
Mitchell was finally elected by Demo
cratic votes, and to the fact that the pres
ent governor is a Democrat, as encourag-
ing evidence for them.
OF the eleven retiring Democrats whose
seats remain to be filled, New jersey is
about the only doubtful state. Most of
the Democrats whose terms expire next
year are from the south, where Demo-
cratic legislatures are almost q certainty.
Should the Democrats hold the New
Jersey senator, that would, with the
senatorship gained in Virginia, make the
senate a tie. 1t now stands 80 Repub-
licans to ~ Democrats. AS there are 26
Republicans holding over to "a Demo-
Gratis, should the latter retain all their
seats yet to be filled, that would give
them IA more, making their number SO,
and the IL coming in for the Republicans
would give them the same number. Then
the vice president to be chosen next
November would, with his casting vote,
hold the balance of power. Should the
democrats be able to capture Oregon and
retain New Jersey that would just re-
verse the present status of the senate,
making it stand 80 Democrats to 81 Re-
publicaas- The states yet to elect sena-
tors to seats now held by Democrats are
Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia,
louisiana, West Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
New Jersey. There is small hope for the
Republicans in any of them except the
last named, though some Republicans
contend that they have a fighting chance
for the West Virginia legislature. They
would have to work quite a revolution,
however, to get the senator there. In
the legislature has already been
chosen, n 1t is overwhelmingly Demo-

An ExaEgeration.

LONDON, May 19.-The rumor which
obtained general circulation in Berlin
that an imperial decree was about to be
issued, the effect of which would be to
almost wholly prohibit Frenchmen from
visiting Asace-Lorraine, is probably
much exaggerated. Nevertheless, there
is a greet deal of indignation in the
German capital at the obstacles thrown
in the way and the restrictions imposed
upon German TOURISTS upon the French
frontier, and it is quite probable that
some measure of reprisal will be resort.

which is nothing if not official in its ut.
terances, points to the feet that France
has twice the number of officials on the
frontier that Germany has, and adds
that most of them are Alsatians. The
incidents which occurred on the frontier
during last year, the Gazette continues,
clearly shows the object of the French
government in maintaining the large
force of frontier guards that it does, and
makes Il the more necessary that Ger.

Settling a Rate ninculty.

BALTIMORE, May ia meeting of the
railway passenger officials was held here.
The meeting was to bring about an ami
cable settlement of the passenger traffic
out of Baltimore to Washington for
points on the Richmond and Danyille,
the Piedmont Air Line and other points
in southern Virginia, Tennessee, Ken
lucky, etc. The Baltimore and Ohio has
been selling tickets via Pittsburg and the
Pennsylvania did the same thing at the
same rate as the Baltimore and Ohio, the
route of the Pennsylvania being much
longer than the Baltimore and Ohio, and
by a decision of the interstate commerce
commission the Pennsylvania had TO
give the same proportional low rate at
points in western Pennsylvania, New
York and Ohio, thus making them com
pete with friendly roads at a great disad-
vantage. The whole matter was adjusted
by the Baltimore and Ohio agreeing not
to send southern passengers by the short
