secret and fee from the influence OF
party workers, who, though they may
attempt bribery or intimidation, cannot
be assured that the voter has followed
their directions. Five hundred citizens
can by petition have a State ticket
printed for them, and fifty voters can
have their candidates names PIT upon
ballots for county and other local

Senator Beck whose sudden death
occurred at the Potomac depot III
Washington on Saturday, was not only
one of the ablest men intellectually in
the Senate, but was an honest, and
faithful public officer. In simplicity Of
character, and honesty Of purpose he
resembled the late Samuel Randall, and
was much respected by his political OPP
ponents.
At the time of his reelection in 1888,
the Louisville Courier Journal said of
him:
"NIr. Beck owes his dominant posi-
ton in Kentucky to no mereticlouS
agencies. He IS by no means what is
called in the parlance of the demagogue
"a good mixer His out door manners
are brusque, often inatentive and rarely
suave. He makes his likes and DIS
likes manifest in his personal inter-
course, and, while not aggressive, he is
not elusive. Assuredly he is very far
from being a courier of the old Gale
donian type txsmphfied in the charac-
ter and person of Sir Pertlnax Mac
Sycophant. The career of none of Sir
Walters heroes is more full of success
full and romantic adventure than that of
this big Drained S~ot, who, among a
people the most conservative and pro-
vincial in the world, has risen from the
obscur, st depths of poverty, unaided
except by his own strong will and ex-
traordinary talents, to the very highest
eminence, and who holds that emlnence
as easily and as firmly as if born to it
and owning it by right of inheritance.
"The story OF Mir. Beck's life is a
lesson to young men. Its key notes
have been integrity and industry. There
is no blot on his record as an honest
attorney and a sterling man of affairs.
There has never been gap in his work.
Though among his famiIiars man
genial to a degree, and realizing in his
person the conviviality of his race at
its highest mark, his attention to public
and private business has been flag
ging, unfailing, literally sleepless. s-e
is a very canny Scot, and as chivalrous
and gallant as any one of the laddies
whom the Wizard of the North sent out
to seek their fortunes, and not less
canny with the ladies than the Wizards
heroes. Here, indeed, he is a courtier.
Oisraeli himself was not more obeiSant,
nor set a higher store by his feminine
constituency, than this rugged states
man, who always, self poised and un-
affected, is altogether charming in the
society of good and charming women"

on Finance one thousand pounds of tin
ore, and one hundred pounds of pigtin,
and other specimens of tin taken from
the Honey Peak tin mines in the Black
Hills of South Dakota. He intends to
use this as a tangible Illustration of the

SENATOR BECK DEAF.
A stroke That was startling In Its Sud-
denness.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4,
Senator james b. Beck of Kentucky,
died suddenly yesterday AFTERNOON in the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad station,
within a few yards of the spot where
President Garfield was shot nine years
400. The Senator had Just arrived on
limited express from New York, accom-
palied bv his daughter, Mrs. Goodloe.
lie went tn New York last Thursday, to
consult a specialist Ill that city in re-
ference to the illness with which he has
been suffering for the 'st two years, and
which was described as nervous prostra-
tom. The diagnosis of his case by the
specialist gave Senator Beck great en-
enlargement, and on the homeward
tourney he was quite cheerful and APP
peared in better condition than for some
time past Arriving 1T the station, the
Senator and Mrs. Goodloe ahghted from
the train aud walked the length of the
platform to the baggage room, III the
front part of the station, where they were
met by Roger Clay, the Senator's private
secretary, and Major Nicholson, Of the
Marine Corps.
The manner of his death was startling
in its suddenness, aud is briefly and
tersey described by Mr.. Clay. II went
to the depot to meet the SENATOR said
Mr.. Clay. .As he came through the
gate we shook hands and he said in a
cheerful manner: We'll, how is every
thing here?' | asked him about his
health, aud he SAID DR.. Loomis had
examined him thoroughly and said he
was all right. Just then Major Nichol-
son came up, and as they were shaking
hands the Senator complained OF being
dizzy, and then he dropped down and
was dead almost Immediately"
Mr.. Nicholson, MIR. Clay and Mrs.
| Goodlos caught the dying man, lad pre-
vented him from failing upon the stone
pavement. He was gently laid upon his
back and medical aid Immediately sum
monded, but before the physicians arriv
| ed Senator Beck was dead. The body
was carried to the room of the station
master, where it lay until removed to the
residence OF Represent ative Breckenridge,
| of Kentucky, attended by ex Speaker
| G; rlisle, several other members of the
Kentucky delegation, and few Sena-
| tors.
| Senator Beck was born February 13,
! 1922, and was therefore IN his 69,h year.
| His birt hplace was Dumfriesshire, Scot
| land, and he came to the United States
at an early age. He received an AGA
| demic education in Scotland, and gradua-
| ted at TRANSPLANT University, Lexing
ton, IS a lawyer, in 1n46 He practiced
law in kentucky until 1860, whecj he
was elected to Congress, and served from
shat date until 1873, when he declin-
| ed further service. Daring his en-
tire service in the House Mr.. Beck's
party was in the m aority, and at the
time he went out the Democrats gained
control of the House, fact which led
| Mr.. Beck to regret that he had declined
further service. In March, 1877. he re-
turned to Congress, succeeding John W..
stevenson III the Senate. and re elected
in 1889 and again in 1888 The term for
which he was last elected will expire
