4 GREAT AND GOOD MAN CONE.

The death of George w. Childs, the
noted philanthropist. which occurred in
Philadelphia Saturday morning, is a
source of sincere grief to the entire
country Mr.. Childs was perfect type
of a genuine American nobleman, who
won his high place among the Ameri-
can people. not by any right Of high-born
ancestry, but because his own untiring
efforts placed him at the head Of the
aristocracy of blains. His life was but
one of hundreds of lives in America
where a poor boy carves out his own
fortune bit by bit until the structure
stands a monument to himself and to
his country. The great nobility OF char
acter displayed by Mr. Childs influenced
those with whom he came in contact
with an undying influence. Connected
with the largest publishing houses of
the country. and editor of a large news
paper, he made marked impress upon
the literature of the world. His iIrst
step upon obtaining possession of the
Ledger was to elevate the moral tone
of the paper and to Gull from it every
thing that might i'm any way be offen-
sive to good morals. His care in this
direction extended even 10 the advertise
ments. which were carefully selected and
refused If of an objectional nature.
known as the keenest advertiser in.
the country. and a man whose business
capabilities were wonderful he never al
lowed the metal of commerce to enter
his soul and make him hard and selfish.

A GOOD REGINNING.

Democrats throughout Indiana Will be
pleased with the first work done by their
new central committee. In the selection
of the Hon. Thomas Taggart for chair
man the committee voiced not only its
own deliberate judgment. but also that
Of the democratic voters of the state
Mr.. Tsggart has demonstra ted his ability
as an organizer many time and oft.
and no man in the state enjoys in
higher degree the confidence and esteem
of Indiana democrats. His selection,
though made much against his own
wishes, was the very best that could
have been made: and it will inspire the
democratic hosts with confidence as no
other selection could have done Mr..
Taggart is too good democrat to let
his own wishes or his own comfort stand
against the desire of his party or its
welfare, and has announced his accept
ance.
In selecting indianapolis as the place
for holding the convention The Sentinel
also believes the committee acted with
wisdom Ft Wayne. while an enterpris-
ing and wide awake city. hospitable in
the extreme. abundantly able to care
for the convention in royal manner
and dear to every democrat for it's loyal
ty to democracy. is not suitably situated
geographically for holding state con-
vention and to this fact alone is due its
failure to secure the gathering. In in
creasing the representation in the con-
vention wisdom was displayed, for the
theory of democracy is government by
the many. and the closer the convention
is to all the people the. greater will be
the satisfaction with its work.
The date fixed upon for nominating a
ticket is abundantly early. Congr5ss
will have then done its work and the
issues of the campaign will be clearly
defined. A short, sharp, vigorous cam
paign will bring victory.
The feeling manifested at the meeting
was of the very best. Harmony and
earnestness were reported to characterize
the democrats in all parts OF the state.
Nowhere have they been stampeded by
the defeats of last fall; nowhere is there
any fear as to the result next November
or any disposition TO permit it to be
anything but victory.
All in all the effect of Thursdays
meeting, both in the results accomplished
and the views expressed, cannot fail to
be an inspiring one. The members of the
committee, many OF them new men,
have shown clear conception Of the
duties 10 be performed, a firm grasp OF
the situation as it presents itself. a
willingness and a determination to act
that can but commend them TO the re-
spect and confidence of the party at

Every report from other states that
have adopted less stringent ballot laws
than our own shows the wisdom of our
law. In Iowa, where the ballots are

case is now up that shows the dan

it was discovered that fifteen republican
ballots were marked on representative,
county treasurer and sheriff with a red
pencil for democratic candidates. while
the top Of the ballots were marked in
black. 1t is charged that some demo-
Gratis bought these votes. and took this

The wealth gained by hard work was
not left in vaults to rust, but scattered
broadcast among the needy. His loyalty

brother and friend. in the truest sense
of the word. He was their inspiration
in work, and their sympathizer in every
grief His love. his time and his money
were at their command. and he was richly
repaid in the undying love which bound
them to him and his interests. His name
is the password used to encourage and
strengthen fainting laborers. His gifts
were not alone to men whom the world
has publicly honored, but the poor and
unknown received far more generous
behests. That his printer friends might
not be buried in the potter's field he gave
to the Typographical society of Phila-
delphia a handsome cemetery. The home
for aged and invalid printers at Colorado
Springs is one of the grandest monu-
ments to his memory.
Men like George w. Childs make the
history Of America one of which any ma
ton might be proud. The influence Of a
man who has given thousands to better
his fellowmen, who has helped hundreds
of poor. struggling young men and
women to become self-supporting and use
full citizens, who has planted the name
of America In the memorial places of
foreign lands. cannot die. His death,
which has brought many Of his deeds of
kindness and love 10 light will but
strengthen his influence over the vast
number of men and women honored by
his friendship, directly OF indirectly. His
impress upon American literature will be
lasting. and the greatest and imperish-
able monument to him will be the
prayers offered by hearts saddened by his
death. and the reverence in which his
name. now but a memory. is held 10y
the entire country.
