The name, Capt. John Brown, of

about a dozen, have been carried to

Y, the last of them last Wednesday,
The reinterment was conducted with
great simplicity and attracted but little
public attention, They were plain
folks who put their hands in their own
pockets and bore the expenses.
From the somewhat fragmentary
newspaper accounts of the ceremony
it appears that about 5000 people
gathered around John Browns grave
in it's mountain amphitheatre. almost
all of them were Adirondack farmers
and their wives and children, who had
journeyed from four counties to be pres
ent, and who seemed to regard the oc-
casion as a solemn religious cOmmem-
oration.
Judged by logical, everyday stand
ards, John Brown had disordered
mind and he died as the fool dieth.
In levying war single-handed against
the State of Virginia he committed a sort
of insane treason, and he was properly
condemned and executed for it,

The Ohio Democratic State Conven-
tion named John r. Mclean for Gov
ernOr, but the Convention broke away
from him when it came to make up a
platform. Bryan's followers were
strong enough to give him an empathic
endorsement, as well as to pronounce
in favor of the free coinage of silver at
16 to l independent of all'other ma
tions i'll the world" The issues and
and candidates of 1900 are probably set
forth in the platforms of the Republi
cans of Pennsylvania and the Demo-
Gratis of Ohio
The Republicans of Pennsylvania
have declared the denomination of
President Mckinley, for the adoption
of the gold standard and for expansion.
The Democrats of Ohio have declared
for the denomination of Bryan, for the
free coinage of silver and against ex-
pansiOn. There is scarcely any doubt
that the National Conventions of the
two parties will follow these leads.

No man in the nation has filled a
larger place in personal independ-
ence and influence as Thos. B. Reed of
Maine, and his retirement takes on the
shape of an important National event.
There is no other one man in any
branch of the Government service, leg
islative, whose withdrawal would leave
such vacancy; none who would be so
surely missed. We may say, indeed,
that there is no other who, on retire
ment, would take with him in a fuller
degree the recompense of universal
confidence in his integrity and good
faith. SO says the Democratic Boston
Courier.
Mr.. Reeds withdrawal is justified by
his purpose of earning money. He is
not an old man by any means, but he
has reached an age where he must be-
gin to look for sufficient provision for
the needs of the future. And Mr.
Reed is not one of the sort that grow in
public office. He is ''clean."
We may all hope that fortune will
come to him in the practice of his pro-
fession, but the absence of his strong
hand in the new Congress will be a
loss to the country.

THE Dreyfus trial is expected to con-
time possibly for a week longer, as
some important witnesses and the sum-
ming up of counsel are yet to be heard
but the end seems to be in sight. The
evidence given Friday and Saturday
last was largely in the prisoners favor,
and the expectation of an acquittal was
correspondingly increased Had Amer
lean rules of evidence been applied,
the case would have been long ago
closed. In fact, the direct evidence
against prerfus has been insufficient
says FL H..umore Sun, according to
American usage, to cause him to be
held for trial at all.
