same general design as that of previous
years, consisting Of 366 leaves, one for

Senator Kenna,s Death.

West Virginia has lost an able and
faithful public servant in the death of
Senator Kenna His official record is
one of which his State and friends have
reason to be proud. He made his way
up from the bottom OF the public ladder
to the rung next to the top, and he did it
without employing the tricks of the polit-
ical gymnast but by the force of strong
talent and real merit. His death caus-
es vacancy in the senatorial represen>
tation from West Virginia which will be
filled by the legislature now in session.
During the present administration death
has also removed from the upper house
OF congress Senators Wilson, Of Mary
land, Plumb, of Kansas, Barbour, of
Virginia, Hearst, of California, Beck, of
Kentucky, and Gibson, of Louisiana.
Presidedt Harrison's term has been nots
able for the large number of prominent
persons in official life who have died
since it began, and Senator Kenna's
death adds another to the already long
list.-BaItin1ore Sun.

Newspapers and Papers.

There is vast difference between a
ljlper and a newspaper. The United
yates is essentially the country OF news
,apers. Papers exist principally in for
ign coentries, of which Russia is an ex-
caIlent example. There they are papers
srom necessity. In this country there
are some still in existence, but it is from
,ioice. They are abject followers of
..ublic sentiment, and never venture to
cypress an opinion until certain that it
Z in accord with the public pulse. The
natural result is that they don't even
enfect public sentiment, for fear some
,ne won't like it.
The newspaper, on the other hand, is
the leader, the creator, of public senti-
alent; it gives the news as it finds it, and
while it is careful never to give offense
unnecessarily, not even personal friend
ship is allowed to stand in the way
should it become necessary to sacrifice
IT il order to accomplish public good.
1t is free and fearless, though by no
;neans perfect, for it is conducted by
.rnen who have all the frailties of their
fellows, but it is honest in it's expressions,
and always willing to acknowledge an
error when one has been made, but it
does not make what it knows to be
truthful statement in one issue, and re-
tract it in the next, to please some con-.
science stricken individual who imagines
that some article published was refiec-
ton upon his dignity and self>righteous-
ness, when in reality no one else ever
dreamed of any such application. The
newspaper naturally makes enemies-it
expects to; it would not be newspaper
il it did not have some good, hard-work-
jig enemies to help it along; we can gem
orally tell when we have offended some
one by the increase in our subscription
'list- Yost's Weekly.
We can endorse the above in toto. A
paper that is swayed by every breeze,

merely as catering to the whims and

Communicable Spirit.

It having been stated that. President
elect Cleveland had positively decided
upon three of his cabinet officers, viz:
Hon. E. j. Phelps, for Secretary OF State;
Senator John g. Carlisle, for Secretary
of the Treasury, and. Daniel Lamont, for
Secretary of the Navy, the Philadelphia
Press, in a splendidly written EDITORIAL
pays an excellent tribute to the fitness
of each for the position to which he has
been assigned, and merited compll-
ment to Mr. Cleveland in the selection
he is said to have made. The spirit OF
the article is admirable and such as
should characterize the course of Repub-
lean papers towards the incoming adj
nsinistratiou. 1t is a spirit that is inst
in itself and is we'll calculated to disarm
prejudice and educate the public mind
II. proper channels. 1t is the duty OF all
the people to support constituted author
i,y, whether of one party or the other,
and condemn only where condemnation
is in the interest of the public welfare.
AS an original issue it may not be as we
would have had it, but as it is invested
with the control of the government by
legal methods and in obedience to pop
ular will, good citizenship imposes the
obligation of giving it fair and impair
| tial trial.
The bane of the country is rancorous
partizan prejudice. Where no good can
be discerned in those who happen to
| differ from us as to measures and poll
cies, there is something wrong. 1t is
fair to presume that others have the
good of the country..at heart as sincere
| ly as we have-that they are as sincere
and honest In the beliefs they entertain
as we are and that they are entitled te
public confidence until it is forfeited by
overt acts and proven fallicies.
If there were more of the spirit mani
tested by the Press predominating witt
the Republican papers of the country
there would be less acrimony in politica
contests. It would be a laudable ambl
ton for the survival of the fttest, an6
a lust estimate placed upon Legislation
and administration corresponding witt
the good that was effected for the nation
We heartily approve the tone ane
| temper of the remarks of the Press re-
lating to the three distinguished gentle
men named, and hope it will be emula
ted by the leading Republican papers O.
the country. Mercenary, narrow-mind
ed politicians cannot appreciate magma
minity in politics or reach up to the
plane where fair men fairly judge polit
ical opponents. They may be left tt
feed upon the venom--they nourish. ani
| leave to others the more gracious work
| of contributing to the incubation O.
manly sentiment and influencing tht
public mind in patriotic channels

To Help the Suffering Poor.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 16.-The chief OF POI
lice has issued orders to bring into the
stationhouses all destitute unemployed
people, The persons who are thus arrest
ed who are found to be deserving will
be sent to the city infirmary and the un>
deserving will be semitic the workhouse.
This is believed to be better than es-
tablishing soup>houses, which, in the
past, has had the effect of inviting va
grants to the city.
President NJ. E. ingalls, has put freight
trains on the Chesapeake and Ohio
Road at the disposal of the Cincinnati
Enquirer in aid of it's efforts to furnish
coal at $3.50 per ton in single ton loads
instead of at So and So, as charged by
coal dealers. 1t is believed the organized
charities are abundantly equipped to
meet all other cases of distress.
LIMA, OHIO, Jan. Ex-senator Brice's
representatives here received telegram
yesterday telling them to distribute to
the destitute and suffering poor 100 tons
of coal and 100 barrels of -four.

GEN. BEN BUTLER DEAD.
The Famous Lawyer, Politician an6
Soldier Died in washington
at 100 A. M.

WAsHINGToN,D.C. January 11.-Gen.
Benjamin f. Butler, the lawyer, states
man, politician and millionaire manu-
facturer, died at his home, No. 2s0 New
Jersey avenue Southeast, at 1:30 this
morning The General has always, to a
more or less extent, been resident OF
Washington, although many of the
scenes of his successful ventures have
been located elswhere. During the pres
emit winter case which had been decid-
ed against him in the highest courts OF
of the State of Massachusetts, and in
which he took an appeal to the Sus
preme Court. has demanded his almost
constant presence in this city. Every
Monday he was a familiar figure at ses-
ions of that body when the decisionss
were read. His age as well as general
impairment OF health while listening
to the oral decisions, looking for his own,
was a matter of remark time again.
Finally. week or two, ago, the case was
decided against him. Whether or mot the
loss of this case, to which he had
paid such close attention, brought
any thing more than the casual defeat.
will never be known. His death created
an immense surprise, as it was not even
known that he was ailing any more
than any man who had lived and labor
ed SO long would. The announcement
of his death this morning from failure
of the heart, created more than little
surprise, and at this hour of the night
details of his taking off are more than
meager.

Mr.. Cleveland Files an Answer.

RICHMOND, VA, Jan. 15.-President
elect Cleveland filed his answer in the
Chancery Court yesterday in the suit
growing out of the debt settlement
brought by Willis B. Smith against him
and others. The summons was served
on Mr.. Cleveland when he was on his
bunting expedition at Hog Island. Mr.
Cleveland says in his answer that he is
wholly ignorant of the relations alleged
by the complainant, Willis B. Smith, to
have existed between himself and of the
defendants, James M. Mason, and the
company styled in the bill as the "Pub,
lie Debt Adjustment Company Mr.
Cleveland also states that his only con
nectlon with the matter of the settle
ment OF Virginia's debt was simply to
engage in certain correspondence in con
nectlon with the advisory board, which
consisted of himself and Thomas F.
BBayard, Edward J. Phelps, George s.
Coe and George c. Williams, who were
thus associated in this matter upon the
request of the Olcott committee.

GOLD AND SILVER BULLION.


The government has nearly hun
dred tons OF gold bullion which has
been counted as part Of the 500 ,OOO,.
600 reserve. 1t seems, therefore, that
gold bullion is good enough to hold in
reserve as security for the paper money,
but when it is proposed to hold silver
bullion for the same purpose there are
those who sneer at the proposition.
There is another way in which wide
difference has been made between gold
and silver bullion. Secretary Carlisle
has decided that there is not enough
gold coin and so he has ordered the
coinsge of this bullion. But, awhile
ago, when demand was made upon
him for more silver dollars, he ans
wered that he had not enough to spare
any and he never offered to coin any of
the bullion that lies useless in the
treasury, not even being used as Sc
curity for the governments paper, as
the gold bullion is. r.. .
All this only goes to show the ex-
traordinary efforts being made by the
administration TO discredit silver.
Arizona republican., 1893-09-03

the senate will substitute; for it, is only
one OF words.
The Wilson bill repeats the Sherman
law the same as the Voorhees, bill does,
but In addition the latter throws sop
to the silver men in the shape OF an ut
terance in favor OF both gold and silver
as money.
1t means nothing and will amount to
nothing more than resolution in q
Democratic platform amounts to, but
in order to get this buncombe in the
law the Voorhees, bill will be substi-
tuted and will be cent to the house for
concurrence, causing further delay and
some thousands OF dollars more ex.
pense.
And with this salve Of empty words
the silver Democrats are expected to
be satisfied for the present.
