As a memorial committee, it becomes
our paihful putty to chronicle the death OF
our brother, NJ. w. Burdeaux, which
occurred at his residence in Bladen county,
N. c.. March 31st, 1889. -
BRO. Burdeaux had been a consistent
member of the NJ. E. Church South for
over ten years he was also a faithful and
much beloved member of the said Farm
ers' Alliance. He has left a1oxng}a wHe,
who is also a member both of Church aud
Alliance. He leaves five children, all OF
whom are boys, the elder one, the son OF
his first wife, having been married twice;
the other four is the children of the one
which he leaves to mourn his loss the
Young. st child being only about eleven
months OF age. Bro. Burdeaux was a
man of limited circumstances and OF edu-
c~ational advantages, but he was kind IN
his dealings, loving in conversation ana
beloved by those who knew hin. But
alas! he is gone. We mourn the death
of our brother, but not like those who
have no hope, for while his body rests
in the silent grave, we have a
hope that his spirit is in the beautiful
home of the soul, where sickness and
sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared
no more. And now we most earnestly
and d~evoutly pray the divine blessings of
Almighty God upon this diSpensatlon of
his providence to the good of his family
and many friends, whom he has left to
mourn his death.

To- request that he remove post
master whose commission had yet
two years to run, Mr.. Wanamaker
is said lately to have answered.
"You are asking me to undo as a
republican cabinet officer what a re-

ing. That postmaster was not only
appointed, but was confirmed for
four years, and | can't remove him.
You must not insist on my rebuking

MINISTER RICE.

Allen Thorndike Rice, recently APP
pointed Minister to Russia, died very
suddenly at the Fifth Avenue hotel,
New York, last Thursday morning.
He was born in Boston in 1858 and
the romantic story of his abduction
in early childhood will be found on
the third page Mr.. Rice's fame and
fortune were made in the North
American Review which has enriched
him to the extent of several million
dollars. For many years the cover
of that magazine has born a Latin
motto which may be freely trans
lated. Troy and Tyre will be treat
ed alike" Had Mr. Rice carried out
this idea his magazine would never
have become party organ used to
malign the chief men of our nation
under anonymously signed articles.
1T has been said that Mr.. Rice ap-
piled the principles of journalism to
the magazine; it would be much
more to the point to say that he
adopted some of the features of SEN
sational journals, and, like many edi-
tors, that he used his magazine as
the vehicle of extreme partisanship
and personal vituperatiOn." For
this service to his party he was nomi-
mated as Minister to Russia by Presi-
dent Harrison and confirmed by the
same Senate which rejected another
editor, Murat Halstead.
In 1886 Mr. Rice ran for Congress
against Gen. Spinola in the 10th New
York district and was sold out by
men paid to work for him. This act
of treachery led him to advocate the
Australian ballot system as a means
of purifying elections. Mr.. Rice has
lived to see the Australian system
adopted by eight of our states and,
in the form of the Saxton reform bill,
twice vetoed by Gov. Hill of New
York. He is stricken down at the
beginning of a brilliant career, but to
have introduced to our liberty-loving
people a ballot system that will pre-
vent trading and purchasing of votes
is higher honor and service than to
have been the owner of our leading
review, and to have increased its cir
culation seven-fold by making it a
partisan and sensational monthly.
