MONEY TO THROW AWAY.

When VIM Fl Beers retired from
the Presidency of the New York Life
Insurance Company, the board o trus-
tees voted him a salary for life Of
S37. 500 a year. The new President,
John A. Mccall, refused to pay it and
Mr.. Beers sued the company. The
court has deciI led that the action Of
the trustees was invalid. When in
al companies get so they have
money to throw away, to give nam
moth fortunes to men who are not ex-
pected to perform any services in re-
turn, it appears to us that it is high
time for the people who furnish the
money to be so squandered to inquire
into the matter. And it is really a sur
prise that the Supreme Court these
avs should render any decision against
the YES ed right of a wealthy corpora
ton t. do just whatever it pleases with
the money it grinds out Of the people.

BLAINE's LAST MOMENTS.

Mr.. Blaine uttered no last words. "
His passing away, however, while
silent, was conscious, and was marked
by a final scene @hich gave proof OF
his faith in God and heaven. The
scene was one to which some great
artist may at some future day give
fitting expression. Surrounded by the
members of his family and his faithful
physicians, Mr.. Blaine lay alert, help
less and still. He knew that death
was at land. All those about his bed
side had put aside the last hope The
physicians had whispered the warning
that the futtering heart could beat for
but a few moments MORE. The dying
man'e eyes seemed to be the only evi-
dence of life remaining in the wasted
frame. The power of speech was gone.
The very shadow Of death had cast its
gray pallor upon the recumbent figure.
But the eyes, staring with unnatural
brilliance, turned from one to another
of those about the room, and at last
fixed themselves upon the countenance
of his wife.
THE DYING MAN POINTS TO. HEAVEN
For a moment there was absolute
silence. Then Mrs Blaine, her eyes
meeting the last, fixed gaza of her
dying husband, leaned over the bedside
and whispered the question: James,
do you know where Walker, Emmons
and Alice are9" There was immedia1 e
response. A new light flashed into the
almost sightless eyes. A tremor a
through the wasted form. For two
days the dying man had not moved of
his own vOlltion one of his limbs, but
now the watchers eager gaze met a
surprising and beautiful reward. The
right arm, after a seconds struggle,
rose from the bed-cOver. The white,
almost pulselSss hand closed itself, with
the long, bon> index finger extended.
1t pointed to heaven, and the eyes gave
the answer Of his soul to the question
of his wife. Thus, with hand out
stretched to heaven, and with eyes
fixed upon those of his wife, James G.
Blaine passed away.-N Y. Press.

TRUTH

Brick PomerOy, in writing of the
suspension Of the St. Louis NetU Forum,
says: 1T is hard work to keep any
reform paper alive. It's editor has to
do more eg5ing for support than the
help is really worth. The moment a
man sees even one item in such a paper
that he does not like, he becomes cold
as for or hot as against it, and forget5
that the general one and effort Of the
publication is of Importance, and that
no one man can have everything in
this world all his own way. Many
persons e to think it is the duty of
an editor to think only as each sub
scriher thinks, even when the sub
scrioer does not always think The
chairman of the congressional commit
tee on ways and means has less to
worry over and to think of than four,
ffths of those who publish papers, and
who are doing as they think to be the
best for the welfare of all the people

forty years, and every e1itor knows be
