Some Curious Literary Treasures In Print
and Letters.
Some interesting literary curiosities we're
left at the editorial-rOoms Of this paper yes
terday by G. Polk Young of 2l02 Howard
street. The most important is a small PAM
phlet of fifteen pages. printed by L. Brad
ford, Philadelphia. The title page reads
Proceedings of the Federal Convention,
held at Philadelphia, in the year 1877, and
the Twelfth Year of American Independ-
ence" Another curiosity is a letter dated
Lancaster, Pa, July H. 1906, written by T.
Natl ack to Mr.. John Young, relating tc the
sale of some choice breed Of fowls. The last
is a letter from Henry Grow TO Griffith
Young, Lower Merriam, Montgomery
County, Pa. The writer was at Nauvoo
July %, 1916, with the Mormons, and gives
a deal of information about the prosecutions
of that people by the mob. The writer was
a Bourbon Democrat of the truest type and
COMPLAINS bitterly of the failure Of the
Democratic Government for not protecting
the lives and property of the MOrmOnS.
The following extract IS unique: Dos
Democracy rule the Government no But
some Part is ruled by Democracy and Mob
ocracy. | know for myself for l have sen it
And when the Church of Jesus Christ went
TO Martin Van Buren, for redress of theare
rOngs what did he say. Why what every
Democrat ought TO Blush at that was, Your
caus is just but l cant do any thing for you.

to be a Wig. But no | hate the sight of a
Wig-l go in for Dem ocracy as | all was did

JAMES APBENRY.

The death 0f James McHenry will attract
little attention because ne had survived
nearly all his contemporaries. Almost
every one OF those who took part in his life
battles is under the sod. Like Sanford, who
died only last week, be had had a stormy
ana romantic career. But il ended long ago,
anu the young men of to-day have forgotten
his name as they have forgotten the pol
isbed aud cultured gentleman who was for
q score of years known as the American
Diplomatic.
James McHenry was the son of doctor,
ana was born in Philadelphia in 1910. Early
In ,;te ne went to Europe, acquired the Ian
guages, obtained access to the best society
and established himself in London as a
financial operator. He never founded a
clearinghouse like Peabody. But he be-
came q promoter of financial enterprises,
and was soon Teputed to be a man Of wealth.
Over thirty years ago he was power on
Change. It was said that he had carried
through to successful completion more enter
prises than any other man in London. and
drawn more money out Of hordes than Hud-
son himself About a gGarter OF a century
ago he appeared in this country as the con-
trolling owner Of the Atlantic and Great
Western Railway. He and his friends
bought nearly all the stock and bonds of the
line, and they may be said to have lost every
dollar they put into it. This did not prevent
McHenry from getting them into the Erie
Company; and here again they parted with
their money. Whether McHenry shared the
loss, or made money which his friends lost.
no one ever knew He stayed by the Erie
until it was wrested from the hands of
Gould and Fisk, but when his side got pos
session of the road they wished they had
left it to Gould.
One service he rendered to the railroad
interest In this country. He indoctrinated
railroad managers with the principle that
reasonably low rates of freight on long
hauls increased profits. 1t was largely due
to his influence that S. a ton became the
normal charge for carrying grain from the
lakes 10 the seaboard the late William FL.
Vanderbilt confessed that he owed that part
of his education to M"Henry.
For many years nOthing has been heard
Of him. 1t is believed that 10 his heyday he
had sailed down a comfortable fortune
However this may be, he continued to lead a
life Of elegant leisure and judicious luxury
he preserved his love Of society to the last.
and was welcome in some Of the best houses
in London To the last, when he was over
~, his society was enjoyed by the most
agreeable women in England. He used to
say that if the day ever came when the
charms of gifted and beautiful girl had no
attraction for him, he would feel that it was
time to negotiate with the undertaken

THE NATIONAL UNION CONFERENCE

An analysis Of the report of the Com
mttee on Credentials of the late Cincinnati
Conference shows that of 1417 delegates,
1919 came from the five States of Ohio, In
diana, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.
All the New England States, with New
York and Pennsylvania, had but % dele
gates All the Southern States had but 30
delegates. This color of sectionalism will
to some extent be effaced when the ma
tioaal convention meets. The three men,
bers of the National Committee appointed
from each State will proceed to organize
the party in their several States with view
TO representation in the national conyen-
ton Cd the basis Of population The plat
form adopted at Cincinnati will then be
revised. The proceedings of the national
convention viii throw some light upon the
purposes of the party. The small repre-
sentation from Democratic States affords
some ground for the assertion that the con-
ference is designed only for operations in
group of Northwestern States which have
in the past generally elected Republican
electors

HOW To MEET CHARGES.

American manufacturers are studying The pros
poets OF extending their trade 10 the countries

Of the Mckinley tariff act. Hitherto their trade

shoes, nearly all TO Cuba and Porto Rleo and
France shipped about 100000 worth. Hith-

much against the product OF Eastern factories.

A BILL OF ITEMS.

The bill of items which George W. Taylor
has presented at the request of the twenty
four Senators whom he recently sued for
$1,000 throws a luminous Sidelight upon the
methods by which a combination in the
last Legislature converted the temple OF
LEGISLATION into den of thieves. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Faylor's account the Sen
atOral combination had dealings with the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company, the
various insurance companies doing BUSH
ness in the State, the Pacific Coast Book
makers Association, the Board Of Pilots
of the Port of San Francisco, the various
persons having charge of the bill to divide
COlusa County, electric railroad companies,
and "perSons having for their aim the crea-
ton of a new county TO be called Riverside"
Taylor, the plaintiff, AYERS that dealings be-
tween himself and defendants were sup
posed TO be on a strictly cash basis. BY
reason of the nature of the business the de-
PENDANTS found it convenient TO keep no
books Al the request Of the defendants the
plaintiff kept no books. But he presents a
bill for board amounting to 1897 90, one for
wines, liquors aud cigars for sos, one for
hacks for $40 70 aud a general bill for sery-
ices amounting to S5262 IS. The nature OF
these services may be easily surmised. Fay
lor possibly served as a gO-between TO make
arrangements with parties who desired to
purchase Senatorial votes. The comblna-
ton he worked for, it is thought, had the
votes to sell. Terms and conditions were
agreed upon by the go-between. Several
men who are believed to represent parties
desiring to purchase legislative aid have
been mentioned as probable witnesses. II
would be a great thing for the State if these
men can be forced to tell the truth. Moth
ing of the kind is, however, expected. Al
the head of the list of alleged vote-purchas-
eTs is a company which is believed to have
bought legislation at almost every session
Of the Legislature for twenty-five years.

The long expected orders for the revenue

tain Coulsen yesterday. and she left for
Alaska last night. The Rush carried north
the special agents sent out by the Govern
ment, whose duty it viii be to see that the con-
tract entered into with the Government re-
garding the killing of seals is complied with.
The agents are Messrs. Williams, Barnes
and Nettleton, and j. S. Brown special
Commissioner. Collector Claiming, the re-
cent appuintee for Sand Point, Alaska, was
too i'll to undertake the trip. There was no
one else available, and for the present that
important port will have no Collector. The
Rush carried crew all told Of forty-three
officers and men. Teiegraphic orders were
also sent to the Bear yesterday. and she will
tive could be learned, it is thought that the
orders received are much the same as those

INSPECTING TEACHERS.

Some years ago the Board of Education
created lie office of Inspector of Schools.
1t was made the duty Of these inspectors to
visit the schools aud report upon their con-
dition. 1t will be seen at a glance that the
office was one Of great responsibility. An
unfayorable repor< might be the death-war-
rant Of a teacher. As there are always
members OF board who are in favor of
death warrants on some pretext, teachers
regarded tee inspector with fear and trem-
