DEATH OF A LEADER,

The sudden death of Hon. Lewis c. Cas-
sidy, of Philadelphia, yesterday, will cause
wide regrets throughout the State, even
among the political opponents of the late
leader. Mr.. Cassidy has been prominent
figure in the Democratic party for many
years; and his long political career has been
characterized by decided ability and high
qualities. As a member of the Constitu-
tional Convention and as the Attorney Gen.
eral of Governor Pattison's clean and vigor-
Gus administration, he made his mark upon
public affairs. This was especially the case
in the South Penn and Beech Creek cases,
where the Attorney General secured a de-
cided declaration IRON the courts of the su-
premacy of the Constitution over the cor
porations. The State cannot we'll spare
men of Attorney General Cassidy's stamp.

The Advocates Of Bankruptcy Bill Walt
Upon the President.


Upon the President.

Harrison was visited to-day by committee Of
the National Convention Of Commercial
Bodies, headed by Colonel James o. Broad
head, of Missouri, as chairman, and accom-
panied by Colonel Jay L. Torrey, the author Of

before the President copy of the proceedings

AN ILLUSTRATION OF HALnE.

The disclosures which are being made of
jobbery in the dock department Of the
New York City government has some
very important lessons. In the first
place it shows the danger of placing
any branch Of public administration in a
close corporation without the infusion Of
new blood and with few checks and bal
ances from the outside The dock depart
mentis a relic of the Tweed days, established
on the pretext of realizing General McCIel-
lan's magnificent idea of miles of stone
docks along the river fronts. 1t did not
realize the docks, but it turns out to have
realized systematic profit from eollusive
rents of docks to favored individuals and
from grants of privileges through which
the city lost.
It is worth while to notice in this connec-
ton that it is the nearest approach to the
ownership of great commercial functions as
contemplated by State socialism. that this
country has ever known. The advocacy Of
that idea with reference to railroads
is that it is the true rem
edy for the abuses Of discrimination, favor

1NCREAsE OF FURNACE CAPACITY.

The increase in capacity of the blast furn-
aces, reported by the Bulletin ofthe Iron and
Steel Association is not new process by any
means. 1t commenced about twenty years
ago when the use of iron hot blasts raised
the product Of furnaces to the then remark
sblefgureof 500 or 600 tons per week, and has
continued ever since until the friedrich hot
blasts have multiplied that possible produc-
tion two or three times. But the fact that
notwithstanding the large excess Of furnace
capacity over production it has increased
BY two million tons in the past year, and
that tWenty-nine new furnaces are building
on the present rise are important They
prove that stacks of modern construction
and suited to economical production yield
fair return on their cost even at the late
close prices; while the capacity that has been
standing idle was made up of antiquated or
badly located establishments.

WE are panied to see that the typograph-
ical error has been getting in its fendish work
on our religious cotemporaries. One clerical
editor tried to say that prominent clergy
man was the "Barnabas of the Bapttsts." but
the unregenerate compositor made it the
"Barrsbas:' while another who intended to
declare that no Protestant Episcopal Bishop
'has any sense OF humor," was Mortified to find
that he had accused those prominent gentle
men of being without ''any sense of honor"
Under these circumstances the religious edit
ors would be justified in visiting upon the COM
positors the pains and penalties Of excommun-
ication. But the uncomfortable fact remains
that the compositors would not care snap for

NEW YoRy, November 1s.-On last Saturday
morning dispatch was sent from BordentoWn,
N. J., telling Of the sad condition to which pow
ertv had reduced Mrs Della Stewart ParneI-
The dispatch stated that her house, H0id Iron
Sides" was mortgaged for s. 600. andt that unless
the sum Of S563 was raised At once the mortgage
would be foreclosed, and the mother Of Charles
Stewart Parnell would be without a roof over
her head. Before the sun went down that
night the telegraph had brought her enough
money to pay the interest and taxes. and still
the money continued to flow in from all parts
Of the United States. It looks now as though
Mrs. Parnell had seen her darkest days. and the
wolf is no longer at the threshold Of -Old Iron
sides" It is probable from the aid already
offered that the illustrious Irish leaders
mother viii not only be secure from further
want and destitution, but that the sum Of the
entire mortgage on the place viii pc raised.
Mrs Parnell's warm heart is filed with grati-
tude toward her generous friends.
Overseer James Slevin, the Irish patriot,
who served q term with Charles Stewart Par
nell in the Kilmainham Jail said to-day: II tell
you the hardship through which Mrs. Parnell
has passed has not half been told. Why, do you
know, sir, II the truth must be told, the lady
has not only not dollar to her hame, but. sir,
her underclothfng is positively inadequate to
protect her from the cold. There was report
that should be able to raise enough on the
farm to keep the house. The fact is, have
sold all the tools there were on the place, and
have nothing to work with The report that
there can be nothing raised on the place is that
there has not been one bushel Of fertilizer put
on the land for over a4year. Now. as to the
coal. Last year we got our coal by the half
ton from William Flynn. OF Bordentown. He
took the price out in wood. which cut and
sold By the cord, and, sir. just sent the last
load for last winters coal last week."

''She does not" he replied, sand more than
that, she could not IL she wanted to- for not one
of the storekeepers, except Mr.. Flynn, would

The OLD SONGS.
over and over again,

Over and over again,
In every time and tongue,
In every style and strain
Have the worlds old songs been sung;
Since the sigh from the soul was stirred,
Since the heart Of man was broken,
Have the notes Of despair been heard
And the rhythm Of pain been spoken.
The song that you sing to-day,
Sweet on the printed pages,
Was sung in the far away,
In the youth Of the worn-out ages;
The charm of your love-born tune,
The gems that your lines uncover,
Were set in some savage tune
BY the heart Of some pagan lover.
The fancies that I'LL your rhymes,
The visions that haunt your lays
Are the specters of olden times
Ana the ghosts of forgotten days;
Ye players on notes Of woe,
Ye dreamers Of love and sorrow,
They sang in the years ago
The songs you win sing tomorrow.
But what If the rhymes are new.
And what II the thoughts are old,
If the touch Of the chord be true
And the flight Of the singer boldi
Let them come to US SILL again,
Tomorrow and yet hereafter,
Fresh as q mornings rain.
Old as the sob and the laughter.
