l'Peoial W NeWS ana COurler.
Washington, October 20.-den.
James Longstreet was today ap-
pointed commissioners Of railroads to
succeed Con. Wade Hampton. This
change has long been anticipated,
henco it causes but little surprise.
Con. Hampton's resignation han been
in the hands of President Mckinley
since tho advent Of tho present Ad-
mnstration, and the change would
have occurred ut Il much earlier
period had tho importunities OF Con.
Longstreet and his political friends
prevailed. President Mckinley had
two objects i'll delaying action in this
now celebrated case. When Con.
Longstreet and his friends were
clamoring loudest for Gen. Hamp-
toms official scalp, tho "Grand Old
Man Of tho Palmetto State" was dan
gerously ILL., Tho Prcsidont decided
that he would not accept Gon. Hamp-
toms resignation until he was given
ample timo TO regain his health by
an extended trip to tho Pacific coast.
Con. Hampton has recoved from his
lato illness, and declares he il in ro-
bust hoalth, and Weighs ovor 200
pounds. Tho President also desired
Gen. Hampton to have an opportuni-
ty to frame and submit his annual
report on tho business Of tho com
missioner's Office. That report has
boon completed, and is ready for tho
printer.
Although Con. Hampton feols that
ho has boon treated with admirable
consideration by tho President, tho
latter neglected to notify tho Gen
eral that his resignation had been
accepted before announcing the ap-
pointment of his successor. Tho first
intimatioL Of Cen. Longstreet's ap-
pointment today was conveyed to Con-
Hampton by your correspondent.
Gen. Hampton was in his Office at
tho general pension building, por-
forming his official duties rucon-
scious Of his decapitation. When ap-
| prised of the Presidents action Gen.
Hampton remarked that it was not
unexpected in Wow Of what has been
80 often stated in the newspapers on
the subject. IIo added that he ton
dered his resignation rs soon rs Presi-
dent Mckinley was inauguratod, and,
therefore, he was prepared to relin-
quish tho Office without delay. Flo
said he appreciated tho efforts of 80
many Of his former associates l.. tho
Senate to have him retained, and 1t
is gratifying to know that 80 much
consideration was shown him by tho
Administration. Having completed his
annual report, Gen. Hampton is fully
prepared to turn over tho Office to
his successor in excellent condition.
He will leave Washington in a few
days, accompanied by his daughter,
to attend tho State Fair at Column
bia.
1t is said that Gen. Longstreot
may encounter considerable difficult
ty in obtaining confirmation by tho
Senate. 1t is said that tho Presi
dent was subjected to immense pres
sure to make this appointment, and
that but for positive promise mado
soon after his election Cen Lonpstreel
would not have been appointed.
There is Il general feeling here that
don. Longstreot is incapacitated for
the duties of the Office, and the Sen
ate will be fully enlightened on tho
sui jet.

isease, one half hour"
HIS FRIEND WEPT.

The Rev Edward McGlynn reached
tho Union Square hotel shortly before
II o'clock. The dispatch which sum
moned him merely announced that
"dear friend' was dead, but bearing
in mind his own premonitions and
the premonitions that Henry George
had contided to him, he concluded
rightly that his great associate in
the single tax battle Of their years
had expired. When he looked upon
the dead face of his friend, he burst
1lto tears.
The scene was distressing ono
Afterward DR.. McGlynn said:
Henry George died as ABRAHAM
Lincoln died. Lincoln was assasi-
mated just after his great work of
saving the Union was consummated.
1t was said that he was mercifully
spared the petty annoyances and
pickering ofthe reconstruction period.
Henry George was struck down by
fate in the zenith of his powers. But
tho great work that he inaugnrated
will go on.
GAS a man and philosopher, it
will be long before his like will be
seen again. His goodness and gen
tleness singled him out among all
mon, and, with others, l almost wor-
shipped him"
When DIR. McGlynn was able to
think calmly over his recent inter
course with the dead man, he recalled
that his friend had frequently ex-
pressed to him his premonitions that
his end was approaching, and had
used language that he now saw in
dicated presentment that he would
not outliye his campaign.

SUNDAY NEWSPAPER.
IL do not see anything wrong either
in making or in reading Sunday
newspaper. In fact, if found any
thing obnoxious in the Sunday papor
| should be ready to renounce it; yet,
while there is liable to be something
you would wish to have changed in
any newspaper, and in every news
paper, we do not find any special
fault in the Sunday newspaper. 1t
is a picture of the world as it is; of
the good men and of the bad,
the virtues and the crimes; and as
the crimes Of half dozen are more
startling than the virtues of a thou
sand good mon, it is to crimes that
a great deal Of attention is neces
sarily paid. But is it wrong to re-
port and to publish these things ?
Everybody will talk about them. The
newspapers could not suppress them
If they would; and if any one news-
paper regularly omitted to give an
account Of interesting swindles, or
murders, the people would stop read
ing that paper and 60 off and get
one where they could find all the
news. Besides, | have been led to
conclude, in reasoning upon this sub
ject, that if the Divine Providence
permits such things to happen, we,
who are merely the witness Of it's op-
Grafton, may certainly stop a moment
and report the facts to each other
MAKING OF a REpoRTER.
The qualifications of the reporter
you cannot estimate too highly. In
the first place, he must know the
truth when he hears 1t and sees it.
There are a great many mon who are
born without that faculty, unfortu-
nately. But there arc some men
that q lie cannot deceive. And that
is very precious gift for a reporter,
as we'll as for anybody else. The man
who has it is sure to live long and
prosper; especially if he is able to
tell tho truth which he sees, to state
the fact or the discovery that he has
been sent after in a clear and VIVID
and interesting manner.

for she was a Christian. and knew
that death to her meant a release from
pain. After bidding her mother good

her in heaven at 300 o'clock her gen
