which there are also thousands of va

live out of doors through an average
winter, and even such cold nights as
we have had this fall have proved IA
tai to many choice roots. But there
are many ways of preserving the
roots through the winter without put

temperature of a dry cellar is better
than the varying heat of living

from the cellar beams, and others
bury them in sand which is kept
moist. Either plan is effective and

Reprimand to Lieut.. Steele.

WASHINGTON CITY, April 12.-Gen. Scho-
field has published his reprimand to Lieut..
Steele, as required by the sentence of the
court martial. The general rebuKes the
lieutenant for his loss of self-command in
striking and abusing Wild, and drives home
the necessity for those woo command others
to be able to command themselves. He says
abuse of subordinates by words or blows can
not be tolerated under any circumstances.
He also disapproves of the lieutenant acting
as Judge advocate at the trial of Wild, and
tells him that nice sense of propriety and
due appreciation of self interest should have
suggested to him the wisdom of asking to be
excused in the case, request which would.
OF course, have been complied with.

THE GREAT coMMoNeR's CAREER.
Samuel jackson RandalIs Life and Pub
lie Services, Briefly Slsetched.


Samuel jackson Randall's Life and Pub
lie Services, Briefly Slxetched.
Samuel jackson Randall was born in Phil
adelphia Oct. 10, 1928, and his career through
life justifles the assertion that he was a born
statesman He received a good academic
education, and pursued his studies with the
intention of devoting his life to mercantile
pursuits. After he had finished his studies
he obtained n position in the counting-room
OF mercantile establishment, but in short
time his work became irksome, and he con
ceived a distaste for the duties of mer-
chant. His father, the late Josiah Randall
was one of the active Democrats of Phila-
delphia, and he inspired his son with de-
sire to enter political life, which feeling in
creased in intensity as he attended conven-
lions and meetings, until he finally adopted
it as the calling most suited to his tast.
Nearly Thirty Years I'm Congress.
Though Mr.. Randall had barely passed
the prime of life, yet he had spent nearly
thirty years in continuous service in the
house OF representatives. His colleague
from Philadelphia, the late Judge Kelley,
alone of all the members of the present
house served longer, although another col
league, Mr. O'Neil took his seat in 1858 with
Mr.. Randall. The story of the life OF this
great citizen Is contained, therefore, in the
record of congress from the dark days OF the
war, when he was first elected, until the
present time. In this work his life was alb
sorbed. For twenty-eight years he gave his
labors without single 'abstracting pursuit,
to national legislation. That was the bust
ness of his life, and no other employment
could tempt him to abandon it, notwith-
standing the rewards of a commercial life
would have been far greater in a financial
sense than those OF the career which lie
chose.
There Were Giants In Those Days.
He entered congress when young, and
found the Republicans in control with
many men of great ability on their side. In
this group were statesmen who afterward
became chief among history-makers-one of
them was chosen president, another was
nominated for the presidency, but was de-
feated; three others were candidates for
that nomination by the Republicans, and
two others were leading candidates for the
Democratic nominations; one was a candi-
date for vice president upon the ticket with
Mcclellan, while number of his early as
sociates i'm congress afterward served in
different cabinets and in the senate. Mr..
Randall was not a lawyer. His preliminary
education in political matters was obtained
In term In the city council of Philadel-
phia, and as a member of the state senate.
His first election to congress was as MEM
Der Of the the Thirty eighth, in 1852
Loyal to the Union of States.

of the union, and while he differed with the

congress convened he was unable to leave

sworn In at Home.
Subsequently the oath of Office as repre-
sentative was administered at his residence
by Speaker Reed, and Mr.. Randall was made
a member of the committees on rules and
appropriations-the two important commit
tees he had served in for so many years. Mr..
Randall then hoped to be able to take his
seat and participate actively in the affairs of
the house at the conclusion of the holiday
recess, but the dreaded and fatal malady
from which he suffered slowly but surely
made inroads on his strength, and each
month as it passed found him weaker.
Consulted in the Sick Room.
Mr.. Carlisle, his associate on the commit
tee on rules, and the Democratic members
of the appropriations committee and other
Democratic members called frequently at
Mr. Randall's home, to consult him about
party matters and committee work. Some
of them who called occasionally but regu-
larly, noticed that Mr.. Randall was slowly
failing physically although mentally he was
as acute and vigorous as ever, and for the
past two months they felt that he would
never leave his house alive. During the last
few weeks of his life he suffered very much
at times, and he had become greatly ema-
ciated.

that the services be held in the Metropoli-
