GENERAL SHERIDAN.
Alarming Reports Concerning His Ill.
ness.

New YORK, May "a.
The Herald has the following from its
Washington correspondent:
From thoroughly reliable sources it is
learned that the story of Lieut.. Gen. Sheri-
dams illness was only half told. He has
been very i'll, indeed, dangerously so. For
twenty-four hours from the Monday dinner
hour, his condition was such as to cause his
family and physicians to fear his demise at
any moment. That he escaped death and is
now on the road to recovery, is as remarka-
able to those acquainted with his condition
as it is gratifying to his family and friends.
He had stroke of apoplexy. Being the
second he has had, the alarm of the family
and physicians can well be understood.
On account of the efforts of the members
of the household and other intimate friends
to conceal the true facts of the Generals i'll
ness, it is difficult to learn just when the
first symptoms appeared, but from the same
reliable source above referred,to it is known
that no less than five physicians were in con-
sultation on Monday night and Tuesday
morning, and that three surgeons were in
attendance all night on Monday.
1t is also positively asserted that priest
was seen to hurredly eEter the house, stimuli
taneously with the doctors, at a time when
az vas 0AeiS'0h' l." 'iie seheiais ChaHiper
above.
This priest remained in the house all night
show that the family was prepared for the
worst. Yesterday, skilled nurse from New
York, was telegraphed for, and, it is under
stood, arrived last night. All Monday night
the general was in a sem-conscious state
He experienced great difficulty in breathing.
and on that account the physicians would not
allow him to lie down. He was kept in a
sitting position in large chair. Even in
this position it was with the greatest difficulty
that he could be reused from the stupor he
was in and his breathing made easier. 1t
was not until noon, Wednesday, that he
showed marked signs of improvement. He
was then able to sleep naturally in chair.
He has continued to improve and is now be-
lieved to be past the critical stage.

Whereas, the Maine State Grange Ut ita

Resolved, that the members of kennsbsc

individuals to establish an organ by selecting
one paper for their official interc0urses and
calls upon the executive committee of the
State Grange to exert the power at their
command and require its officials to use all
the newspapers of the State and thus spread
before the public the information healthful

Wa there ever before such play to draw
crowd as Uncle Toms Cabin! Such a
question might well have been asked last
evening by one, looking over the throng that
filed the body and galleries of Granite Hall.
People who saw the play when they were
children, took their children last night. The
new features introduced by Abbey's Compa-
ny, for a wonder, detracted nothing. Uncle
Tom, Topsy, the two Marks, were good and
three hours of amusement gave the specta.
tors their moneys worth.

PROPOSED CENTENNIAL AND
A PERMANENT EXPOSITION.

At the instance of the National
Board of Promotion, composed OF
members from the forty-five states
and territories of the union. bill
was introduced into the United
States senate on the 18th of last
December, providing for constitu-
tional centennial celebration next
year, in which tits proposed toiin-
vite the other fifteen republics of
North, Central and South America
to participate. Another bill, pro
viding for a worlds exposition in
1892, to celebrate the 40Oth ami
yersary of America by Columbus,
and providing for permanent ex-
position of the three Americas, was
also introduced, and these bills are
now pending in Congress. The
national grange, national board Of
trade, American bar association, in
ternational medical congress, Amer
lean bankers association, carriage
builders national association and the
association of agricultural colleges,
in their various conventions assem-
bled have all endorsed the PROPOSE
ton heartily, and it is thought that
the bills will receive favorable con
sideration from both branches of
congress. The bill carries with it
an appropriation of only 100000
for the proper celebration of the
centennial of the constitution which is
the most important instrument that
was ever framed, and the enthusiasm
and patriotism which will be aroused
by such an occasion and by such a
gathering as it will draw together
will be worth untold benefits to the
people of this country, and will ce-
ment bond of fellowship between
the different republics, whose inter
ests should naturally be allied and
mutual, owing to geographical posi-
ton, and which may find it neces-
sary at some time in the future to
make one another's cause their own
in resisting encroachments of the
powers of the old country and in
asserting their rights and protecting
their integrity. This bond of friend
ship will be further cemented by
the proposed celebration of the dis
,overy of the American continent,

t is proposed to establish at the

of bald assertion unsubstan-

consists of bald assertion unsubstan
tiated by facts and proofs, and nc
attempt is made whatever at argu
ment. The bloody-shirt was vigor
ously rung in and made to do ser
vice. The Southern people, the
speaker declared, were obtuse and
slow to learn and slow to forget
they were responsible for the free
trade heresy as they were for the
rebellion. and were ready to betray
the best interests of the country and
throw them into the hands of Eng
land and the Golden club. The sen
ator lets the cat out of the bag in
touching on the methods of getting
rid of the surplus in the treas
ury, and admits that the republican
party is actuated by no higher NC
tives of patriotism and statesman
ship in its efforts to get rid of the
surplus by advocating coast de-
lenses, the upbuilding of the navy
&c. He proposes to let the govern
ment go on robbing the people, but
would have it expend the Doodle as
lavishly as the drunken landlord
spoken of by Junius, in order to pre-
vent the revenue reformers from
making capital out OF the condition
of the congested treasury, Mr.. Frye
makes the startling assertion that
surplus, anyway, is better than a
deficit. The BANNER is sorry to say,
however, that in advancing this
strong argument-the only one to
be met with in all the lines spoken
he is guilty of plagiarism, for it was
Col. Frederick Dent Grant, the son
of his father, who in his celebrated
campaign for secretary of state in
New York, first asserted the paradox,
changed, that "a surplus can
be more easily handled than def
cit In spite of protection rant and
the great TODD over Cleveland's
the BANNER believes that
the bloody-shirt will be made the
prominent issue, and that revenue
reformer, such as Allison is, will be
nominated for the presidency in def
erence to western and northwestern
sentiment.
