NELSON DINGHY, srArEsxAH G.

In the light that he had. Nelson Ding
ley, jr., deceased, the Maine statesman,
was a man Of towering ability. He op-
posed financial reform and was wor-
shipper at the shrine Of trusts and mono
poles, and ever favored class legislation
for the rich
Reared in humble circumstances, he
soon forgot the common people and be-
came the father of legislation, which ID
now and has been sapping the life blood
OF the republic.
Roman supremacy in the Caesariap
period, was never threatened with de-
cline, until the money Of the empire was
concentrated in the hands OF the nobil-
ity. Brutality, lust Of power, licentious-
ness, soon took the place Of art, science
and commercial supremacy.
1t is no now doctrine that the coneen-
tration Of wealth is the greatest OF all
enemies to civil liberty.
Dingley held commanding position,
was a man OF extraordinary intellect,
was doubtless honest in the views and
position he maintained on finances and
the tariff and viewed from the position
Of those protected by legislation, was a
statesman in all that that name i'm
plies.
Viewed from the standpoint Of the
people, those whose relation to the laws
Of the country arise solely from a simple
obedience Of their mandate, he wac
great only as a partisan, a. . subscriber
to the doctrines Of his party. He never
rose to the greater heights, proclaimed
as craftsmanship, wherein his vision was
bounded only by such legislation which
conferred benefits alike upon the whole.

Commissioner Harris seeks record
for economy. He advocates, and has in
troduced resolution to that effect, re-
ducing the salaries Of all deputies en-
ployed by the county. The effect of the
resolution is blunted, however, by the
fact that Mr.. Harris did not include the
salaries Of the commissioners, or extend
the time Of their working day The

The ObliginG Rilsy.

Philadelphia Record: The strength
Of the fad for autographs was strik-
ingly shown yesterday, when scores Of
clerks and customers besieged James
Whitcomb Riley, while he was modest
ly making some book purchases in a
large department store. As soon as the
Hoosier poet was sighted near the lat
est book counter the news quickly
went the rounds Of the clerks, and
within a half hour Mr.. Riley had oblig-
ingly signed his name to 100 cards.
Customers who were at the book stalls
at the time or were attracted thither
also took advantage of the opportunity,
and secured the signature of the poet.
To one of the clerks Mr.. Riley said
that. on the average, he receives 200
letters a day asking for his autograph,
and many more personal requests
while on his tours. When not in
a humor for composition the poet, as
a mental diversion. occupies himself
in signing the thousands of cards
which he yearly receives.

A Cat Funeral.

In Elkton, Md. they held a queer
funeral last week. A cat belonging to
a wealthy man died, and he had made
a beautiful black coffin, covered with
cloth, studded with gold-headed nails
and finished with four silver handles.
Then he dressed poor kitty in black
shroud and put her in the coffin, where
she Law for two days for all her friends
to see and meow over. Then he had
four boys act as pallbearers, and they
had a regular cat funeral, and planted
flowers over pussy's grave. When the
cat was young, which was 13 years
