cDITOKIAL COM MENTs.

The Washington Post Of yesterday
feelingly refers to Mr.. Frank "A.
Burr. the w~ell-known newspaper cor
respondent, who died Monday at
camden, N. j. Deceased is remem-
bered here for work connected with the
political campaigns OF lSSo-'sS. In the
irst-named contest. he was quite active
In his efforts to prevent a straight lie
publican congressional ticket from being
placed in the held.
Colonel Burr, the Post says, was one
of the best-known of the old-time cor
respondents and IA man of VERSATILE
abilities. He spent the first nine years
of his life as a captive among the
Chippewa Indians. and his cary educa-
ton was gained on the streets Of Detroit
as a newsboy. To the friendship OF
Zachariah Chandler is largely due his
first successful start in the world. Col
onel Burr had an eventful career in the
army during the late war and in subse-
quent years became the warm personal
friend OF ex-senator Davis. of West Viz
ginia. Gen. Simon Cameron. and Judge
Jere Black. with each of whom at
times he was associated In confidential
capacities. He had been engaged In yarf-
Gus journalistic enterprises. did excel
lent work as a correspondent on numerous
special occasions. and wrote the biog-
raphies of Gen. Grant and Gen. Har-
tranft. which were literary ventures of
decided merit. Although of late in retire
ment on account of Ill health. he had by
no means passed out of recollection. and
HIS many friends. not a few of them his
contemporaries In newspaper work, will
profoundly regret TO learn of his death.

Industrial ARMY Coming.

OAKLAND, Cal, April 6.-The regiment
of the industrial army which arrived on
Tuesday from San Francisco is stranded
here The effort of the leaders to secure
transpor tGtion was denied, and they have
been unable to get out.
The men are being provided with shelter
and an abundance of food by the citizens,
which may account in measure for their
reluctance to walk. Threats to secure
transportation by force were common in
the ranks, and considerable anxiety was
felt by the people of Oakland regarding the
outcome. Arrangements were ut last made
with the railroad by which the army will
leave Oakland on train of box cars pro-
vided by the road
