Deati, ofO. q. Sconel.I.


The following sketch of the ca
reer of the late O. G. Scofeld is
taken from the Wheeling Infelligen-
Ger:
Mr.. O. B. Scofield died at twenty
minutes before five o'clock yester-
day afternoon in his room in the
McLain block, of typhoid fever.
He has been confined TO his room
since week ago last Saturday, and
had been i'll some time before that.
On Monday, a week before his
death, friends become uneasy and
telcgraphed for Mrs. Scofield, who
was at Parkersburg, and who came
up at once and was at her husband s
bedside until he breathed his last
Owen Grinnell Scofeld was born
at Utica, New York, May 10, 1896.
He graduated from Whitestown IN.
W University in 1855, in the clas-
zeal coursc. In 1856 he removed
to Minneapolis, Minnesota, and
thence to Madison, Wisconsin, the
year following. He was Receiving
Teller of the State Treasury of Wis
consin for five years, and private
Secretary of the State Treasurer
for two and half years. Impressed
with.the the outlook in West Vir-
ginia, in June, 1865, he removed
thither; became editor and part
owner of the Elizabeth Gazette,
Writ county, in 1868, and the same
year was elected a member OF the
West Virginia House of Delegates
from that county. A good speaker
and well educated, he took an active
and influential par in the legislation
of that session.
Having a pronounced taste for
journalism, and desiring wider
field for the display of his superior
abilities as an editorial writer, in
1869 he moved to Parkersburg and
took editorial charge of the Daily
Times. During the autumn of that
year he established the State Jour
nat. In 1871 the late eX Governor
w. e. Stevenson became associated
with him in the ownership and cdi-
torial management of the paper,
which was continued up to the time
of it's sale to its present proprietors
1888. That year Mr.. Scotield be-
came editor-in chief of the Wheeling
EUening Journal and so continued
for three months, until it's pubhca-
tion ceased.
From 1869 to 1888 he occupied
continuously one of the positions of
Assistant Assessor, United States
Gauger, or Chief Deputy Collector
under Major Singleton, w. Ill.
Crothers, General b f. Kelly, Gen.
eral L. III. Duval, S. P. McCormic
and john T. McGraw. He was
postmaster at Burning Springs,
Writ county, during his residence
there; has been active in politics,
and has filled with marked ability
the positions OF Chairman and See
rotary of the Republican State Ex-
ecutive Committee, Chairman of
County Committees, and Secretary
of the First District Congressional
Committee.
During the years 1883 and 1889
he was connected with the Ohio
Valley Manufactures. In Deem
Der, 1889, he was elected Secretary
of the Union Accident and Benefit
Association of this city, which po-
sition he was aecepiably filing up

Reeds RuIes.

Hon. w. l.. Wilson in letter TO
the New York IForld speaks thus as
to eff ect of Mr.. Reeds new rules by
which he proposed to expedite the
business of the House:
The dignity of the House has
been lowered, its proceedings con
stantly married by acrimonious de
bates and scenes of disorder, because
the Democrats bring to every days
session ranking sense of having
been. degraded, both as party OF
opposition and as individual repre-
scntatives of the people. Filibust-
critiS Nus not Seor-r'uT I'r-etss'e'i, b =. 4.
immensely stimulated, and lawmak-
ing has taken on, more and more,
the methods of Legislative decrccs.
Debate has been stifled, and the
House, where along under our Fed
eral system the people are immedi
ately represented, has sunk into a
mere enacting body to vote, with
out discussion, on the work OF it's
committees, and to pass that work
on to the Senate for public and
adequate debate.
have made this recital to draw
from it two lessons as to the respon.
sibility of the majority of the next
/ House.
The first peril is of political lcgis
lation, looking not to the good OF
the country, but to the supremacy
of party; and the second is that
the majority in the next House will
have no higher duty to the people
and to posterity than to restore the
lost rights of the House; to revive
the Constitutional method of count
ing quorum, and to adopt again
rules that will protect the rights of
individuals and of minorities; that
will make law and not the sic colo
of its occupant the rule of the Speak
er's chair, and which, holding the
House well to it's work, will foster
that reaction in favor of fuller de-
bate" wished for by Mr., Reed but a
few years ago.

CIeveiand,s silver Letter.

Ex- President Cleveland was in
vited to attend a meeting at Cooper
Union Wednesday, Feb. 18th, held
under the auspices of the Reform
Club, to oppose the silver bill, and
not being able to attend, wrote the
following letter:
MY DEAR SIR:-I have this after
noon received note inviting me to-
attend tomorrow evening a meeting
called for the purpose of voicing
the opposition of the business men
of our city to the free coinage of
silver in the United States
shall not be able to attend and adj
dress the meeting as you request,
but l am glad that the business in
terests of New York are at last TO be
heard on the subject.
1t surely cannot be necessary for
me to make a formal expression of
my agreement with those who be-
lieve that the greatest perils would
be initiated by the adoption of the
scheme embraced in the measure
now pending in Congress for the
unlimited coinage of silver at our
minis. If we have developed an
unexpected capacity for the assimi-
lation for a largely increased vol
ume of the currency, and even if we
have demonstrated the usefulness of
such an increase, the conditions fall
far short of insuring us against dis
aster, if in the present situation we
enter upon the dangerous and rock
less experiment of free, unlimited
and Independent silver coinage.

The President nominated Hon.
Charles Foster, of Ohio, Secretary
of the Treasury to fill the vacancy
caused by WINDOWS death. Mr..
Foster has made no reputation as a
financier, and it is thought the APP
pointment was made from purely
political reasons, the President
thinking Mr.. Fosters appointment
would strengthen him for renomi-
nation. Mr.. Foster is however, a
gentleman of fair reputation as a
man and his nomination was
promptly confirmed by the Senate.

Mrs. Grover Cleveland has under
taken, in connection with number
of patriotic ladies, a crusade in which
she and they are entitled to the
good wishes of every American who
loves his country above all other
countries, and he is poor stick
who doesn't. The object of these
worthy women is to persuade our
young men and women of the alb
surdity of apeing foreign customs in
talk, department and dress. The
campaign was opened in New York
City by stirring lecture on the
formative period of American his
tory.

For nv own part, Mr.. Editor, L
oppose the contemplated disfranchlse-
ment. 1t would be unjust to large

run; afford to be unjust. The Ha,
waiian element cannot justly and
should not, advocate this disfran-
chisement. Retribution in politics is
hardly less sure than in other mat
tiers of life. The old Reform party
has long been writhing under the
retributiye sings induced by its in
justice and perfdy to the native Ha-
waiians and others. Let the foreign
franchise remain, and let the fran
chise for mobiles be levelled to basis
of "honest and upright MANHOOD"

WHO SHALL VOTE Z

Mr.. G. w. Ashford's letter, pub
lished in another column, contains
food for thought. It is full of
caustic allusion. AS a general
thing, the strongest and most con-
vlncing argument either written or
spoken, but particularly the former,
is that which is calm and dispas-
sioDate. But aside from that, the
letter contains important material
which we shall treat more fully at
a later date. In any constitutional
country the questions relating to
the elective franchise are of the
greatest Importance. So far as
we know, the provision in our Con-
stitution admitting others than
citizens to it's exercise is UNIQUE.
There is much to say on both sides
of the question. It will be argued
more fully by and by at present,
it is proper to say that the expert
ment has not been fairly tried, but,
so far as tried, it has worked we'll.

1t is hardly necessary to direct the
attention of the public to the fact that
pure water is one OF the principal agents
in preserving health and insuring per-
feet comfort in household. The germ
OF our most malignant diseases can be
traced back to impure water.
The filter works easily, and, like
magic, turns the impurest water into q
perfectly colorless and absolutely pure
liquid.
This apparatus is attached to the or.
binary water-pipe and filters rapidly. II

SIX-PAGE EDITION
TUESDAY,
NOVEMBER SIXTEENTH,

Yesterday was quite generally
observed as a holiday, particularly
in the afternoon. Probably it will
not be observed hereafter as the
occasion of its observance no longer
exists. It is proper to keep the
birthday of the reigning sovereign,
but when the monarch dies no
reason exists for continuing the
observance. The holiday air of
our streets was chiefly owing
to two causes, the first of which is
the inclination, induced no doubt
by our easy climate, to take holt
days on every plausible occasion;
and the other is the dull condition
of business. In fact probably most
of Honolulu's business at the pres
ent time could be done in four or
at most five days in each week.
