CONGRESSMAN o'NElLus DEATH
Tho Father of tho House Succumbs to
Pneumonia.

PnILApEtpuIA, Nov. 27- Congressman
Charles O'Neill died at his residence, on
South Penn square, on Saturday, in his
73d year. His end was as peaceful as his
life was long and calm and useful. Pneu-
mona combined with heart weakness was
the proximate cause of death.
He took cold in Washington at the be-
ginning of the special session, and he
came home on Aug. 2s, afflicted for the
first ime in his life with serious illness.
1t was the first time, too, that in all his
career he had missed a single day from
congress while it was In session, and the
very knowledge that important legisla-
tion was under way, while he was con-
fined to his house, added keenly to the
irksomencss Of his illness.
Mr.. O'Neill first entered public life in
1850, when he was elected to tho lower
house Of the Pennsylvania legislature, be-
ing reelected in 1851 and 1859. In 1853 he
was elected to the senate, and in 1850 again
went TO the lower house.
In 1864 he was nominated for congress
in the old First district by the Republican
party and was elected. His first congress
was the Thirty eighth, and he has served
continuously in every congress since with
the exception of the Forty-second. After
the reapportonment on the census Of 1870

district. and he represented that district

Jordan then turned his revolver toward
Mrs Foster, his mother-in-law, shooting
her in the neck, the ball ranging down

VANITY OF EARTH.

This earth has deceived the fond spirit
That bowed in its service for years,
1t has given me naugat to inherit
But sad disappointments and tears;
All the pleasures it promised have faded
Like glittering phantoms Of joy;
My fond eager grasp have evaded
Or stayed but to sicken and cloy.
Now where shall turn from my sorrow2
Oh! where shall seek release?
Shall still f0ndly hope that the morrow
Will bring me contentment and peace?
As an eagle, when hunted and driven.
Spreads her pinions and mounts in
the air,
And seeks In the sunshine Of heaven
A place Of security there;
Thus my spirit, disheartened and sad.
dened
With trials and vanities here,
The thought Of yon heaven has glad
dened,
For that region Of brightness I'll steer
Then I'll leave this vain world far be-
hind me,
Its allurements, receptions and love,
And rest where no sorrow shall find me,
In the bosom of Jesus above.

Is it SO pecuniarily embarrassed that

make overtures to the local news
paper that arrangements could be

Gov. Altgeld, Of Illinois, has
| granted . pardon to Schwab, Neebs
aud Fielder, the Anarchists who
were sentenced to the Penitentiary
for life for completely in the Hay
market murders in Chicago. The
sentence Of the bomb throwers, on
appeal, was sustained by the Su-
preme Court of the State, and later
by the Supreme Court of the United
States, and It was heartily approved
by the people Of the United States,
who denounce assassination in gen.
eral, and cowardly bomb-throwers
in particular. We greatly doubt
the power of the Governor OF Illi-
nois to undo the work Of the Uni
ted States Supreme Court, and
hurl defiance in the teeth Of the
American people. The letter Of
the law may grant him this right,
but in exercising it he will find that
he is fooling with fire. After the
executions in Chicago, it was hoped
that the Anarchist question was
forever settled in this country.
But it seems not. They have not
had enough, and they must be
taught another lesson. In that
event, Uncle Sam will be the teach
er, and that lesson will last until
every Anarchist is either hung or
run out Of the country. taking
their bomb-shells, little red flags,
etc., with them.
Gov. Altgeld, in his message
pardoning the bomb-throwerr,
makes . serious attack on the trial
Judge, the jury, and even upon the
laws OF the land, and his act is al
menace to the public peace, which
may yet lead to . public uprising. |
