splendid youth of 1861; the armed hosts
pressing upon the Capitol beaten back,

prime of his years and in the strength of
his manhood; rallying upon one side pa
triotism, National authority, law, con-

all speaking through his lips and repeat
ing his maxims. He would have seen
his great arguments in the reply to

The Cleveland Carlisle currency
scheme for reviving the rWnous State
bank system, breaking down the Nation
al banks and flooding the country with
forty-five different kinds of paper money
is encountering condemnation on every
hand. Conservative and patriotic Dem
ocrats are thoroughly disgusted with its
indefensible provisions, and Messrs.
Springer and Carlisle are frantically en-
deavoring to patch up the measure so
that it will command the votes of the
Democratic majority in the House. No
amount of amendment can make the bill
safe or tolerable. The principle on
which it is based is essentially vicious,
and the security of the currency system
of the Republic demands that it shall be
defeated.

What other state can claim the mother
hood of two such sons? The one mas

in the arts of peace. Both dedicated

will share the blessings of free govern

statues into that group of heroic casts
that reflect the civil and military renown

to the American capital from every state
in the Union in all the years to come will
bow its tribute of respectful homage to
two of the best types of American man

President Cleveland's shooting expe-
ditiOn into South Carolina may have been
an unqualified success from the stand
point of nimrod, but politically it had
been signal and disastrous failure.
While the President was exulting over
his exhibition of skill as a marksman, a
scene was being enacted in the House of
Representatives of the Palmetto State,
which had peculiar interest for him.
A member of the House offered reso-
luton, reciting the fact that the Presi-
dent of the United States was in the
State, and inviting him and the members
of the party to visit the General Assem-
bly,. A member opposed the motion,
stating that he was unwilling to extend
''such courtesy to president for whom
we justly entertain SO little respect"
The resolution was adopted, but not be-
fore some of the Democratic members
had taken advantage of the opportunity
to disCant upon Cleveland's qualifica-
tions as ''party smasher. Free Press.

The gratuitous advice now being show
cred upon the victorious Republicans
from the enemy, the Democracy and the
Mugwumps, in relation to the govern
ment of New York City, would appear
more gracious if the abuses the Republi
cans will now proceed to correct, had not
grown up under Democratic rule, wa
tered by the tears of the Mugwumpian
chorus of conservation. 1t is only few
months ago that the Democratic and
Mugwump organs, which are now so
profuse with admOnitiOn to Republicans
and with abuse of tried and experienced
Republican leaders, were equally profuse
in denouncing the whole Republican
party, its principles and its platform and
all its members withoutexception. Hav-
ing managed to wreck the Democracy
beyond redemption with false and mis-
leading counsel, these architects of dis.
aster are endeavoring to impose their
baleful counsel upon the Republican
party, which triumphed despite their op,
position, calumny and Misrepresentation.
The party which restored the Nation
from the wreck of 1S46-60, and kept the
country prosperous for more than 30
years thereafter, can be trusted to take
one city and put it upon its feet.

In to-day's paper we give Judge Pow
ers' speech, largely devoted to General
Stark. Senator Hoar eulogized Daniel
Webster and in closing asked: "What
would have been his fame and what
would have been his happiness, if his
life could have been spared until 1862"
And thus gloriously he answered it,:
"He would have seen the transceudent
issue on which the fate of the country
hung made up as he had framed it in
1880. Union and liberty, the law of man
and the law of God, the Constitution
and natural justice, the august voice of
patriotism and the august voices of the
men who settled the country, and of the
men who framed the Constitution are all
speaking on the same side. He would
have lived to see the time for concession
all gone by, the flag falling from Sum-

From England comes the news that
two swinders have received a long I'M
prisonment at the hands of an English
court, for conspiring to defraud people
in America of their money on the pre-
tense that they were heirs to vast prop
critics, one of which is the Hyde estate,
in England. This spurious industry has
received timely check. 1t was becom-
ing more and more prevalent. Large
amounts of American money have been
thrown away in this manner. The orig
inatOrs of this species of fraud were
shrewd in their estimate of human ma
ture, and relied successfully upon the
fascination of legacies and the romance
of riches acquired by inheritance, which
appears so often in fiction. The people
of the United States should be grateful
to the English courts for establishing a
precedent which may operate as a pro-
lection for the citizens of this country
from the temptation of trying to trace a
mythical estate across the seas.

Notice of the death of Geo. l. Crossett
of Constantine, Mich, has just been re-
ceived. He was the eldest son of the
late Dea. Isaac Crossett of this town and
is remembered by many of our people.
The local paper speaks highly of him. 1t
says: George l. Crossett, long prom
inent and respected citizen and active
business man among us, died suddenly
of heart failure at his home in the village
of Constantine, Monday, December 18th,
1894, at about 10 o'clock in the forenoon.
Mr.. CrOssett was taken quite sick on tho
Sd of December and to or three days later
had serious trouble with his heart action
but from that up to the time of his death
his symptoms had not been regarded as
indicating the near approach of the final
summons. Sunday he was up and
around the house until late in the even
ing and feeling hopeful of speedy recoV-
cry. He felt as well Monday morning
and said he believed he would soon be
all right again. He arose and was dress
ing when he was heard to fall. Mrs.
Crossett went to him at once; he was
leaning against the window in the bath
room; as she came near he fell forward
into her arms he seemed to made an eff
fort to speak but could not and in the
space of three minutes was dead. With
him there was scarce the space of a
breath between the hope of prolonged
life. and death, and yet it is all the time
assured to any one.
George l. Crossett was born at Ben
nington, January 9TH, 1928. He came to
Constantine in December, 1868, and for
the past 81 years has been actively iden-
titled with many important business in
terests in the village. He was one of the
original cOrporators of the First Nation
Bank and was for over twenty years
president of the institution. He was
treasurer of the school board for about
twenty years. About seven years ago he
was affected by something like light
paralytic stroke, which affected his or
gans of speech and rendered it difficult
for him to clearly and promptly express
his ideas. Since that time he has de-
clined public positions.
He has literally taken hold of and
helped forward all worthy public enter
prises, and has stood up for the right at
all times. He has set a good example as
a citizen-an example worthy of all per-
sons who desire to be good citizens. He
has long filed an important place in this
community, and will be greatly missed"
