Yesterday was great day for ''us centennial
people" the citizens of the American republic
The heavens smiled. the naval parade was a
magnificent spectacle for a nation without a
navy, and the ball was perfectly elegant, don't
you know"
To-day the commemorative proceedings have
been more serious and thoughtful. Orator and
poet and preacher have declared the lessons
which suggest themselves on the hundredth
anniversary Of the Inauguration Of the first
President. Parades, balls, banquets. and FIRE
works give place for a time to consideration
of the meaning Of all the acts of celebration
The birth Of nation under the constitution.
George Washington the President inaugurated
on the day we celebrate. and the constitution
Itself, the great instrument upon whose lines
the republic has steadily developed during its
growth of century, are the texts of the occa-
sion. Chauncey NJ. Depew has paid eloquent
tribute to the man. the instrument. and the ma
tion to be commemorated. All over the land,
In Washington in the other cities. the same
inspiring thoughts have received utterance
from the orators of the day.
Centennial reflections involve ALWAYS a point
ing with pride to the growth of the thing COM
memorated during the period Of its existence.
The material development of America in its
first hundred years was more fully and more
appropriately illustrated in the centennial ceIe-
bration OF 1876 The existence and growth of
the government. formally set in motion in 1889.
are especially to be remembered to-day. The
miserable weakness of the bond holding
together the federated colonies, the
difficulties in the way of allavinp
sectional, colonial and individual iealousies
in order to establish stronger central
government, more compact and Closely
knit republic. and the grand part PLAYED by
Washington in overcoming these difficulties
should never be forgotten The constitution
setting forth the framework of government
upon which the contending interests compro-
missed. is worthy in its results OF the eulOgies
which Gladstone has bestowed upon it. 1t has
the glory Of outlining a republic which has en-
dured with increasing strength and prosperity
for the period OF a hundred years. Bvproviding
for its own amendment. and for the admission
of new states equal footing with the orig
inal band fexibility has been attained which
has permitted peaceful revolutions to take
place, altering entirely the makeup of the
nation, and removing from section to section
the seat OF political. power:-reyolutions which
could not otherwise be accomplished except
through blOOdshed and violent disruption of
the existing government. The republic was
fortunate IN ITS paper government. and fortu-
nate in the men who first administered il ard

which the government has since encountered.

results only soliditcd the republic. strength

the Constitution was designed to form.

Boss, with an eye to business.

Cox, but, sir, can make them all laugh. :"
Cox then raft 9 1 of some Of his best yarns,
aud before he retirei not only had the Boss
rolling out of his chair with laughter, but
secured the promise Of a nomination. He
was el cited, and two years later had the
satisfaction OF defeating Horace Greeley
for the same Office. This was ''Suasst"
Cox's debut in Ne York politics.
Few are aware how near Cox came to
being Tammany HALLS candidate for mayor
last fall. Had it not been for the solicita-
lions Of his wife he might have died as the
CHEF magistrate of the metropolis. 1t will
be remembered that the battle for the
nomination between Hugh J. Grant, the
present mayor. and Judge P. Henry Dugro
became so bi. that conservative Indians,
fearful Of factioaal quarrel which might
end in disaster, went Oh a hunt for a conn
promise candidate. Indeed, Bo.s Dick Grocer

Ninth district statesman several hours.
Fl ally Mr.. Cox said: John, go and see my
wife. Get her approval and I'll accept the
nomination. Long ago I promised her
never to make another canvass for office
une-s she consented"
Col. Cockerill b .stened to call upon Mrs.
Cox, promised her at her husband would
receive more than 100000 popular votes,
and predicted for him the largest majority
mayoralty candidate ever had. Mrs. Cox,
fearful lest tae arluous cam Jaign might
result in her husbands absolute loss of
health, decli ned to give her consent. Had
Cox been nominated, even though he might
not have been elected, Tammaay hall
would perhaps have been spared much of
the sea dal that characterizes its admin

Cox, though a candidate for lngress in
dozen campaigns, rare y found it neces-

popularity supplied any power g machine

From the Neto York Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-It was with in
describable and undis guised grief that the
news of the death of Congressman Samuel
S. Cox was received here. No man iien-
tilted with the national legislature for the
past tive ty-fve years achieved more pop
ulariGy. No de nocrat h I'd warmer aud
closer friends among the republican leaders
than he. In the opinion of many, Little
Sunset" was far less appreciated by the
party with which he ever affiliated than by
that which he fought sometimes with
bitterness thai, were 1T almost a y

Of enemies. Cox, in his most partisan
S eeches, had such a cute way of ex, ress n
himself, that no luspirei not haze, but ad-
mlration. Still his addresses we're never
reg >rded es flpp mt. On tie other hand,
his powe of illustration we're divers fled
and his tact and methods of dissemination
so skillful, that no matter how his sto les
might sound upon the lips of others, they
struck away home, and not infreq Ienti y
ca ght the votes of those on the fence A
capital deba, er, ubborn fighter and too
quicG for the majority at Iepartee, Cox
delighted in nothing 30 much as in a rough
aud tumble tongue-las ing match, especial !
If he ultimately CO ne out on Top.
Cox is said to have ce remarked: III
were not witty l would be great" Apropos
of this a good story is told Of him. His
reputati as joker has been ascr4 bel OF
so much to his origina ,ity as - his devoted
wife's earnest search for happy words.
Mrs. Cox, it is said, was accustomed to read
papers, books and magazi -.es for the sole
purpose of clipping out the jokes. Every
witty saying was culled and pasted in a
volume under an appropriate head. Cox
would spend hours study * the bon motS
abs )rbed I'd permeated by them did he
become that the wit iciS is fel. from his
lips readily aud at the most opportune
moments We're Little Sunset" alive he
would no doubt character ze this story, save
the tribute to his indefaliga lie helpmaue, as
cruel, cruel libel No matter where he
got his jokes, he C )uld manufacture more
fun in FIVE minutes than any other member
of the House could in six mont S.
Another interesting tale of Mr.. Cox's first
meeting with B SIS Tweed is told. 1t will
be remembered hat, after serving OHIO in
congress for number of terms, he went to
New Yo K. The congressional fever had
not yet been cradle ted from his sy tenn.
He suddenly became as anxious to return to
Washing on as no did after year of
saiaams to the Turkish sultan.

ROUGH ON A RA1LRoADER.
A Fence Leads to a Sentence of a Fine
and Imprisonment.

and Imprisonment.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 16.-General
u erintendent l. A. Sweigard, of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com
pany, was sentenced to Imprisonment r
six mon hs TO pay fine OF 81 900 by
Judge Flnletter to-day for mai tanning a
nisance in the shape of a fence erected
40 & the line of the Philadelphia ana
Reading railroad, at Port Richmond
cutting off access to tho streets o
either side of the road. Supt. Sweig-
ard was convicted some months ago,
but motion was at once made for new
trial. The mott II was overrdled to-day b.
Judge Finletter. The counsel for the rail-
road company said he proposed taking a
writ Of error TO the supreme cou to secure
decision upon several important points in
volved. In the meantime he desired judg-
me t on the verdict of guilty and tn ug t
that the fl 10 should be Suffic elt penalty.
THE JUDGES ATTITUDE.
Judge Finletter said that the fine would
not amount to anything. 1t would make
II ference to the company whether it
owei $4,000 moro or less. ImHrisonment
woull be a more effective example, aud he
therefore made the sentence 81, 900 fine and
six months impriso me t. Judga Finlet-
ter said he would not enforce the seutenc !
of Imprisonment without giving them time
ID get decisions from the suDrems court.
d should the supreme court affirm the
judgment and the nuisance be abated, he
would OF o force the sentence Of i'm
prisonme It. The lawyer then informed he
court that the fence would coma down
within twenty -four Iurs.
