GREAT CONTRASTS In BELKNAP'S LIFE
BEARING ADVERSELY WITH
FORTITUDE.
His Last Call on the Dying Justice Miller
but Little While Before His
Own Death

General w. w. Belknap, Secretary
of War under President Grants admin
istIation, was found dead in his bed In
Washington about nine O'Clock on
Monday morning.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore SIN gives the following
very Interesting statement of the rela
tons existing between the deceased
Secretary and the late Justice Miller:
The remark that truth is stranger than
fiction is commonplace saying, and yet
there is scarcely day that the saying
is not forcibly verified. The hundred
or more persons who on Saturday last
saw Gen. w. w. Belknap climb the
steps leading to the front door of the
house of Mr.. Justice Miller to inquire
after the condition OF his friend could
not have dreamed that the dying man
would survive the apparently well
man. Yet when the sun rose (Monday)
morning the heart OF Justice Miller was
still beating, while in all probability
that of Belknap had been stopped by
the still embrace of death for twenty
four hours. The probabilities all are
that Gen. Belknap died before day
light of Sunday. Gen. Belknap and
Justice Miller we're intimate friends of
thirty years standing. Justice Miller,
like Gen. Grant, whether rightfulIy,
of wrongfully, stood by friend through
evil repute. When the cloud fell upon
Belknap in 1876 and summer friends
stood aloof Justice Miller lent him the
weight of his name and his influence,
welcomed him to his roof and broke

THE personal history OF Justice
Miller, of the Supreme Court of the
United States, whose death has Just
deprived the country of the services
of one of its most eminent con-
stitutional lawyers, amply exemplifes
the fact that career like his is only
attalnable In country like our own,
where the fostering influences of a
purely representative government
affords every man without regard to
conditions of birth, an equal chance
In the race of life. Born a daily la
borer on farm, he would never have
risen above his condition, but for
the opportunity for promotion in
life, which the absence of class dis
tinctions under Republican form of
government afforded him. A farm
hand, clerk, medical student, law
yer and judge, he in turn filled the
measure of merit, ability and char
acter OF each position, his sense of
honor and devotion to duty being
alike conspicuous in each vocation.
He was above all the just judge,
possessing in the very fibre of his ma
ture the judicial temper, the innate
sense of justice, the impartial regard
for all rights so essential to the COM
pleteness of his character. The loss
of such man is indeed misfortune
to the country.

OF wrong, we were beaten. The
present tariff law is the result. If il

commenting on the Democratic out
cry against the tariff law because of
the oppressive tax on the poor

poor mans tin cup" costs at whole
sale IS cents a dozen, or ~ cents

With the addition of the new tariff
that tin cup will cost "a cents. But

FOR CONGRESS,
CAPT. JOHN EMORY WILSON,
OF CECIL COUNTY.
ELKTON. OCTOBER is, 1890.

THE Republicans of Delaware are
making brave fight against their OPP
ponents all along the line with a very
encouraging prospect of success. On
Thursday evening of last week at the
Wilmington Opera House Senator
Higgins took up Mr.. Bayard's chal.
lenge-"For any man to place his
finger on a Delaware Democratic
official who had robbed or betrayed
his trust" and before he got through
Mr.. Higgins had half a dozen DEM
ocratic officials, both state and
county, to hang on each of the fin
gers of both his hands.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fuss and
feathers of the Democratic leaders
over the Mckinley bill, it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether since its
final passage, they can afford to go
into the next presidential campaign
on the tariff as a national issue,
simply because the business men of
this country who after all rule il,
may not consent to reopening Of
the question, and the general disturb
ance of commercial values which
must soon adjust themselves to the
new tariff conditions. This opinion
is very freely expressed by New
York correspondent of the Pittsburg
Dispatch, a prominent Democratic
newspaper. Not a few New York
Democrats of national ideas" he
says believe that the party will make
mistake should it go into the next
national canvass on the tariff as an
issue. 1t might be politically wise
not to call too much attention to the
Republican tariff act, for fear that it
might after while work pretty we'll.
The merits of the system itself will
probably be always open to fair dis
cussion. If it is proposed to change
systems of taxation, however, or
shake customs duties up and down
with every change OF political COM
plexion at Washington, it does not
require any wise men of the East to
foresee that the general business
eople of this country will not assist
the operation. Quite the contrary.
The party must not go into bat

bread with him as he had in the heydey
OF his power. Some years afterwards
one of the leading magazines OF the
the country secured a promise from
Judge Miller to publish sketch of
eminent citizens of Iowa, for which a
very handsome compensation was given.
In the sketch was included notice OF
Gen. Belknap. The magazine proprie
tors wrote back and suggested that the
account of the life OF Belknap be omit
ell. Justice Miller Immediately replied
refusing to adopt the suggestion and
offering to give back the money which
had been paid him on the return of his
manuscript. The article appeared as he
had written it.
Oaly few nights since in social
gathering Gen. Belknap spoke of his
devotion of his friend, and his eyes
filled up as he related it. He was a
man of warm and sympathetic feelings,
of nature responsive to vivacity and
appreciation, but ever at war with what
he regarded as injustice or misconstruc-
ton. In the zenith of his fame and his
position as a member Of Gen. Grants
cabinet, in the prime life, of command
ing physique, and possessing that strik-
ing perfection OF blonde beauty as at
tractive in a man as in woman, he
was a beau sabeur indeed, and exhibit
ed hauteur which his friends admired
and his enemies resented. When his
downfall came he could not fail to
command admiration by the fortitude
with which he bore himself, whatever
may have the opinion as to his culpa
bility. Those who knew him best have
always contended that the chivalry
which comes of inherent manhood
prompted him to bow his own proud
head rather than to bring reproach upon
the sex which from time immemorial
true manhood has upheld and defended
under all circumstances. But whether
or net this theory be true it matters
little now, as he has passed to the other
side, where iuflexible and impartial
Justice weighs and determines. Gen.
Belknap had been for twelve months
or more a sufferer from that excruclat
ing and agonizing disease, rheumatic
gou', disease which, as Charles Lever
said, is always reaching for the heart.
The clepched hand which lay over his
heart when he was discovered this
morning is an almost unerring Indica
ton that the disease suddenly and ire
sis'ibly attacked that organ. Gen.
Belknap, while to the outside world pre-
serving an imperturbable demeanor,
has never for long time past under
taken 10 conceal from his COZ fidential
friends that he was not happy, and pro
badly could he have been consulted
he would have wooed the breath of the
spirit CT death. Not very long since, in
conversation with the writer of this, he
spoke in a strain of melancholy which
gave abundant evidence of no more
allurements IN this world for him. Yet
to the last he had many true and de-
voted friends, who held him in high
esteem for the loyalty of his attach
ments and the graces of his companion
ship.

IT MAY do very we'll for thought
less people to deride the methods of
the Salvation Army, but the thought
full see in them means of public good
that are undeniable. The plainly
dressed women and half uniformed
men who are seen on the streets of
town like Elkton, may seem an met
fectual instrument for the reforma-
ton 81 the vicious, but it is not to be
forgotten that they represent a great
organization not only in England
but in this country. A few evenings
ago while a prominent member of
their Army was speaking in Elkton,
the mother" of the man as well as
the Army was dying in London,
Since that evening the demonstra-
ton of Salvationists who assembled
at her funeral has surprised the
world. Correspondents declare that
the display surpassed in numbers
that of Lord Mayors day, the great
annual demonstration in London.
When it is remembered that the
population OF the British capitl is
nearly five millions, or more than
three times greater than that of New
York, it is plain that the Salvation
Army is no feeble factor in solving
the social and moral problems Of
that colossal center of human de
pravity and misery. And what is
true of London, is no less true Of
other places on both sides OF the
Atlantic. When Dean Swift asked
his man John where the best place
was for him to preach, John replied,
wherever there is the most devil"
That place is not always the most
congenial spot for modern clergy
man of refinement and culture, but
it is no less just the place where his
services are most needed. And there
is just where the Salvationists 60,
and where the fruits of their labor
are most abundant. No sensible man
or woman can afford to despise the
Salvationists, or to undervalue their
service in raising fallen humanity.

is no less true that general interest
centres in the Ohio district where

fact that his Democratic opponents
