MAKE SURE OF FIRST PRINCIPLES
Democratic Attempts to Befog the Money
Question Examined

Question Examined
"Be sure you're right; then 60
ahead" was pretty good advice in Davy
Crockett's Gay, and it is worthy of at
tention now in these days when Popu-
list orators are out each with his tiny
bellows trying to blow dust into the air
in clouds sufficient to befog the political
atmosphere.
In an interview just before his mas
terly address in favor Of the Republican
doctrine of sound money and honest
government, delivered at Osceola, Mr..
Bynum voiced this idea clearly and
forcibly. Said he:
These so-called Democratic orators
try to make converts to their theory of

hearers at tho outset. Their plan is to

A LIFE FULL OF PURPOSE
Death of Col Isaac s. Tichenor hftel Long
Illness.
A Gallant Soldier and Former Auditor
of the District - Widely Es-
teemed and Popular.

A well-rounded and successful career
was closed last night when death claimed
Col. Isaac S. Tichenor, formerly auditor of
the District of Columbia and for many
years prominent and popular in the ma
tional capital.
Col Tichenor had been IN poor health for
several years. a few weeks ago his malady
took a more severe turn and resulted as
stated.
He was a native of Trumansburg, n. Y.
where he was born sixty-nine years ago.
When the war broke out he enlisted i'll 1861
in the 105th New York Volunteers, and was
made a captain year later for distin-
guishsd gallantry at Bull Run. His hero
ism at Chantilly made him lieutenant
colonel, and he was made a colonel in De-
cember, 1862, for brilliant Services at Fred
ericksburg.
When the war closed Col. Tichenor was
given an appointment in the Office of the
third auditor of the treasury, where he
remained many years as chief of one of
the most important divisions. In 1872 he
was sent to London as one of the Treasury
Department messengers in charge of Unit
ed States bonds which had been purchased
by a London syndicate headed by the
Rothschilds.
While still employed in the treasury, he
was proffered in 1882, and accepted, the
position of auditor and controller of the
District of Columbia, and retained it until
the first term of President Cleveland. Dur
ing his incumbency the title of the Office
was changed to that of auditor of the Dis
trict. He made many admirable changes
and inaugurated the system of keeping the
municipal accounts now in use. The spe-
cial committee of'the House of Representa-
tives. appointed to investigate the records
of the District warmly commended Audi
tor Tichenor in its report. Since retiring
from the authorship Col Tichenor devoted
himself to his private affairs.
HIS was man of great energy and at
tractive personality and enjoyed wide
esteem. He was a member of burnside
Post. No. =, G. A. R., and of the Military
Order of the Loyal Legion, and was prom
inent in Masonic circles, being a repreSen-
tauve of the Grand Lodge of the District;
OF Harmony Lodge. No. Il; of Columbia
Commandery, Knights Templar, and hon
orary member of two lodges in England.
lie was a graduate of the class OF '92 of
the law department of the National Uni
versity, and vice president of the alumni
association of the District.
Col. Tichenor had resided for many wears
at No 1871 NJ street northwest where his
death occurred. He leaves a widow and
ore son. George H. Tichenor, a contractor
of this city.
The interment of Col Tichenor's remains
Will be made in Arlington cemetery, but
the arrangements have not yet been com
pleted.

which Miss willard wrote for distribu-
tion to the people OF the United States.
The letter, which was written after
Miss Willard had been seized with her
final sickness. gives a short history OF
the W. G. L. Z. movement and then
plungcs into the financial difficulties OF
the trustees OF the Temple. After tell
ing OF the purpose which animated the
women who built the great structure

II say it rererently. but doubt II
any building in the world that has
stood for so few years has had waited
toward It so much OF tender hope. of
beautiful faith. OF love for humanity.
1T is shrine OF the home people, TO
which little children have given their
boarded coins, and toward which the
eyes of the aged have turned with low
ing hope. II symbolizes Christian
character. steadied and controlled no
less than Christian home built and
protected from within by the princi-
pies of sobriety and purity. The build
ing Is In TO sense local enterprise.
II is the great. glowing hearth-fire of
the woman's crusade. and upon II con
verge the loving and faithful eyes of
those who in all countries have been
winnowed from the mass that they
might be the chosen guardians OF the
home in this age OF varied voices and
many contradictions.
II appeal to good men and women
who care for clear brain. steady
beating heart and an untrembling
hand that they shall help us forward
until we have gained n controlling In
terest In our House Beautiful SO that
with the return of better times we may
have larger sum with which to car
ry forward our lines of work and to
bear the light Of the crusade torch to
the most distant lands"
Miss Willard appointed Miss Cor
nelia Dow Of Portland. Maine. as Gus
todian to receive the funds raised by
her for the Temple. and the national
officers have continued Miss Dow In
the same capacity. All Of the money
raised by them will be sent TO her. G.
