the civil war, and there is no more ro-
mantle and inspiring story in our ma
tional annals than that of the march to
the sea.
The General was always welcome,
not only because of his great renown
and his illustrious services, but because
of his personal charm. The papers
have been full of conversations which
recall his happy speeches, the constant
flow of delightful anecdote, the pleas
ant dalliance of great nature in re-
pose Edward Everett, in his Grafton
mt the unwilling of the statute oil Daniel
Webster in Boston, describes the De
fender of the Constitution on the even
ing before the delivery of his famous
speech, the reply to Hayne, and on the
next day at its delivery in the Senate.
In the evening, says Everett, he was
like one of the boats he loved So well,
rocking and swinging on the gentle lap
of the waves upon the shore. But the
next day he was "a mighty admiral" in
in action on mid-ocean, with all his
broadsides laundering; With his canvas
strained, and his flags and remnants
streaming.
Sherman, in his later day, as we have
known him i'm New York, was the boat
easily swinging on the tide, the light
nings of battle sheathed, and the frown-
ing tier. on tier of guns invisible. 1t is
perhaps not too much To say that the
feeling with which in every company
he was greeted was akin To love. 1t is
good to think of him SO, good that the
last thoughts of man whose name is
hOnored and cherished by millions
should be as kindly and gentle as il is
admiring and grateful. So he would
have had it, and would have asked no
sweeter rosemary for remembrance

The New Secretary of the Treasury.


The appointment to the secretaryship
of the treasury of Ex-Governor Charles
Foster will materially strengthen Pres
ident Harrison's administration, politi-
cally, and at the same time maintain
its high financial standing Mr.. Foster
has never been infected with the green
back or silver craze which has prevailed
in portions of the West for number of
years, but has steadily set his face
against anything that would tend to de-
teriorate the money of the country As
business man he has demanded sound
currency, without having any prejudice
against silver that would prevent its be-
ing fully utilized as money metal
under favorable conditions. In respect
to the silver issues of the hour, his
views undoubtedly coincide with those
of President Harrison, which Secretary
Window was engaged in carrying out
when he died.
A prominent public man recently
said that the principal qualification
needed in a secretary of the treasury
was that he should be "a man of af-
fairs" Ex-Governor Foster fills that
measure completely. He has been a
business man all his life, accommodating
large fortune and extending his cap
ital in large enterprises from the coun-
try store which was originally at the
crossroads where the city of Fostoria
manned for HIM has grown up. His
business reputation is that of a keen,
level-headed, practical man, with no
distractions or nonsense about him,
public spirited, generous, kind hearted
and thoroughly imbued with Ameri-
canism.
In his political career Ex-Governor
Foster has shown great sagacity asNvell
as great courage. He has repeatedly
been elected TO congress from districts
which had previously given large Dem
ocratic majorities - showing his per
sonal popularity. He has never been
defeated, except in gerrymandered dis
tricts. As gubernatorial candidate
he insisted on having a sound money
plank in the platform on which he ran,
although the Greenback party then had
a strong hold in Ohio Nor did he, as
Governor, hesitate to take up the liquor
question and secure notifications of
the laws, which have since been per-
fected so that the saloons of Ohio pay
some proper measure of tax for their
existence. In his connection with men
he is a master of policy, and hence
good politician.

The Fifty first Congress, now rapidly
nearing its end, has been remarkable
for number of things it has done as
well as some it has left undone; but in
nothing has it been more remarkable
than in the number of members it has
lost by death-greater than any other
Congress. The recent death of Mr..
Phelan, of Tennessee, makes the num-
Der of representatives who have died
eleven. One senator--Beck-has died,
and Notwithstanding not survive
the session.
