In the words Of the poet, "the lives
OF great men all remind us we can
make our own sublime" but Of late
wo are reminded by the doings OF
great mon that they mayas carelossly

nary folks. In the early part of April
ex-senator Conkling was for many
days making close fight with death

tion of tho ear, resulting from expos
ure to the blizzard of March IL. He
was robust man, rather beyond the

in the vigorous, long walk he took in
the face OF the storm, but it was q
very incautious and impolitic thing
for him to do, putting him on a par
with those people who are not credited
with sense enough to come in when
it rains. From across the sea the ca
bic brings tho news Of the death Of
Matthew Arnold, an English poetat
the age of sixty six, from disease OF

heart, having been cautioned by his
physician not to indulge in any sud.
den or severe exertion, but in a too
happy mood, and foeling his oats as
it were, he ran and jumped a fonce
and soon fell dead. 1t is quite prob
able that had he been content to live
on old man, he might have lived ten
years longer. Very few are built on
tho one horse chaiso principle and
those OF us who would live long and
prosper would do well to learn our
limitations and live within them.
Another recent ill-fated example Of
recklossness was exhibited by cx-Gov-
ernor Dorsbeimer, who, tempted by
the balmy weather Of Savannah, Ga,
about the frst Of April, went driving

Tho Mugwumps for Cleyeland.

1
land will receive q larger independent
or "mugwump" voto this yoar than
he did in 1884. Tho New York
Times has already declared for the
st. Louis ticket. So has tho Now
York Evening Post. The attitude OF
Harper's Weekly is very friendly to
tho president. and it will very proba-
bly, give him its support. These
great journals doubtless reflect the
views Of a majority OF tho indepen-
dents of 1884, and also Of thousands
of men who voted for Blaine, but who
have been 80 much impressed with
the wisdom, vigor and honesty Of
Cleyeland's administration that they
desire to see It continued in power.
The Boston Herald, the leading in
dependent paper Of New England,
speaking Of the mugwumps, says:
They are we'll disposed toward
President Cleveland. He has come
sadly short of all they had hoped
from him, of much they had q rea-
sonable right to expect. Yet this
does not make thom unappreciative
of the good points in his administra-
ton. They know it has boon honest
and patriotic in intention. They
know that it hns boen statesmanliko
in the general tono of its foreign and
domestic policy. They know that it
has met the question of extreme tax
alton and o mischievous surplus as it
has not been met before by any ad-
ministration since the war. Thoy
know that it has stood as gardian
for the public treasury against reck-
less and profigate schemes for the
expenditure of money. They know
that there has not been wiser or
safer business administration from
the foundation of tho government.
Again the fact remains that more
has been done for civil service reform
under Mr.. Cleveland's administration
than has ever been done before. He
is clearly entitled to such benefits as
may accrue from this. If the repub-
lican convention to be hold shall
promise any Improvement upon this,
it will be a question with civil service
reformers whether they will gain by
leaving Mr.. Cleveland.
The Democratic position on the
tariff question will, in the Herald's
opinion, attract a very large inde-
pendent support to its tickot. 1t
says:
To those independents who believe
in tariff reform the Democratic con-
vention makes strong appeal. Here
it's tone is strong and decided. If
tho Republicans take the reverse
action, and present high tariff reso-
lutions and nominate high tariff can
the course of tariff reformers
would seem to be plainly marked out.
1t may bo, and probably is, that all
those voters who wore independents
four years ago are not tariff reform
ers now. But, on the other hand,
their numbers are likely to be largely
increased by accessions from the Re-
publican ranks on this issue. The
ground on this tariff
question has thus far been distinctly
bourbon ground. There is not o
symptom of liberality in it. 1t is
against the faith Of the founders
If the party; it is against the
policy of its leaders in the days
hat followed the war. It is 80 en-
irely reactionary that no progressive
nan can have part in it. If it it is
persisted in, it will ALLEVIATE thousands
If indedenpents now on other grounds
veil affected toward the party.
