PASSING OF SHERMAN

The public career of John Sherman
distinguished in spots, came to an end
yesterday. One of his greatest mistakes
in so far as it affects his fame, was in
having lived too long. On the 10th of
next month he will have ATTAINED his
seventy-fifth year. He practiced law
from 1914 to 1854, when he was elected
to congress, and has been in public life
ever since. Originally an anti-slavery
Whig, he easily became a Republican,
and supported Fremont in 1856. Until
1861 he remained in the house, where he
was recognized as a leader of the party.
In the senate he was prominently identi-
fled with all of the war measures, the
reconstruction legislation, and the acts
creating the national debt and providing
for the resumption of specie payments.
He was twice an aspirant for the presi-
Dental nomination, in 1914 and in 1883.
and he credited his defeat in the con-
vention of the latter year to the energy
of General Alger with whom he had
been sitting in cabinet meetings for
years., In persuadlng colored delegates
from the south to violate their pledges
and vote for Harrison instead of him.
He was supporter of Hayes for the
and became his secretary Of
the treasury. carrying out the legislation
he had been so prominent in creating.
He was one of the five senators sent to
Louisiana in 1876 to supervise the count
ing in of Mr.. Hayes, and was subse-
quently a member of the electoral COM
which certified to the efficiency
of the job. We will be pardoned for re-
ferring to him in the past tense. It has
for some time been warranted. We are
free to admit he has been a great man.
But his chief labors have been in the
interest of the money-changers, rather
than in behalf of the people, and he will
be much missed on the street.

ALONGSHORE

There's cry comes up from along the
shore,
A cry from a hundred towns or more.
Each with its corporation where
1t catches the salt Atlantic air.
There isn't village from north to south
That hasn't cry for help in it's mouth,
For each one seems to think that it
Is the only one that can be hit.
That Spain will send on their quickest
Her biggest ships with their biggest guns,
To shoot that village so full of holes
The sea will run through it in great big
rolls.
There's a wall from Pigment by the Sea,
There's soulful sob from Windwardlee,
There's protest coming from La Podunk,
There's an urgent call from Skinneyme-
There's yearning yelp from Cow's-Nest-
hurst,
There's long appeal from Morningburst.
There's a sounding shout from Skillet
vile,
There's frightened yell from Bunghole
hill;
They're coming in from the coast of Maine
10 the Key West line and back again,
From every municipality
In sight or in smell of the sounding sea.
Each seems to think that the Spanish
spite
Is centered upon that one townsite,
And that the government ought to arise
In its might to preserve this one choice
prize.
But they need not worry: II the Spanish
ships
Come over this way in quest for tips,
The Yankees will keen them so busy that
They Will never learn where these towns
are at

WHERE PARTISANSHIP IS
FOUND

1t is a self-evident proposition that a
loyal nation today supports a patriotic
president. 1t is obvious that it should
But a declaration of war does not alter
the form of our government, or change
the status of the people to it or it to them.
Liberty of conscience remains as a
blessed heritage of past struggles. Free
dom of speech has not been impaired.
Liberty of the press, so long as it keeps
in view the fact that liberty is not IL
cense, may not be curtailed. 1t is a
Christian nation, with or without rec
ognition of God in the constitution, for
the reason that it is made up of men and
women with God in their hearts.
But it does not follow that a certificate
Of loyalty may issue only to those who
blindly follow the lead Of a single indi-
vidual, or a combination of individuals,
yielding unquestioned obedience to his
or their every decree, upon the hypothe-
sis that "the king can do no wrong"
Andrew johnson was a Republican
president, but the great masses of the
party throughout the land disapproved
Of his policy, and bitterly antagonized it.
They went to the limit of preferring
against him articles of impeachment.
and had they been able to command an
other vote In the senate, would have
driven him from his high place as cheif
magistrate of the republic. Neither the
loyalty nor the patriotism of these dis
sentients was ever called in question.
They indeed claimed for themselves
superior degree Of patriotism, in that
they were determined that the principles
they held dear-prnciples upon which
they believed the very perpetuity OF the
union depended, and that were thought
to be held by a large majority of the
people of the loyal north-should pre-
vail even at the hazard of party dis
ruption.
There were nn MORO loyal people on the
face of the earth than was comnre
hended in that little body of Missouri
Republicans who came to be dubbed
"Claybanks," because of their ultra
views upon the question of African slav
cry. They voted for Abraham Lincoln
at the risk of their lives and their prom
erty, but they also voted for him under
protest, because he was not sufficiently
orthodox upon the burning question. He

lick. AS his nomination must come after

Ordinarily their nominations would be
unfavorable to him, but no Republican in
Pasadena has ever been guillotined for
tive nominations isn't much for Pasa-
dena. There are two candidates there for
sheriff, and at least one for every other
county office, and any number who ex-
pect subordinate appointments. Simp-
sons popularity rests largely upon the
generosity he has displayed since he has
been a member of the two branches of
the legislature, in providing for his own
family. 1t is quality that the push has
not overlooked. AS Paris Is France, so
in Republican politics Pasadena is Los
