DEATH OF GEN. HARRISON.

Richmond Times.
General Benjamin Harrison,
yesterday morning, was one of
the most forceful personalities
of his day and generation. He
was man of marked intellectual
ability, man Of fixed principles
and strong convictions, scholar
a vigorous writer and trained
lawyer, whose opinion was
sought far and wide. He was al
so a man of great energy and ac-
tivity. and although an ex Presi-
dent he would not permit him.
self to be retired. When defeated
by Mr.. Cleveland in 1892 he at
once resumed the practice of
his profession and was counsel in
several of the greatest cases of
the day lie had taken no active
part in politics since he retired
from the Presidency, but he was
a living force in the affairs Of the
nation, and whenever he spoke
or wrote his views attracted uni
versal attention and were treated
with respectful consideration by
men Of all shades of political
opinion. He was useful citizen,
and while the Times was always
opposed to him in politics aud
opposed to the political princi~
pies which he espoused and ads
vocated, We always esteemed
General Harrison a true man and
respected him for his intelligence
his courage and his honesty.
General Harrison had many Of
the quaiiG9 -ztio-- Of p ssaresmao,
but he always seemed 10 US TO be
a cold man who was not in sym
pathy with the masses. He made
good President, but n our
opinion he took too cold and bus
mess like a view of the duties Of
the position. His letter accepting
the Republican nomination for
reelection in 1892 was a business
like appeal to the business in
terests of the country to keep
the Republican party in power
for purely business reasons, and
his messages to Congress we're
very like the report Of some
president Of private corpora
tion. But for all that he served
his country well and his admins
lstration was successful ard
clean.
General Harrison's death will
be generally regretted, for he
was a citizen whom the country
could 1ll-afford to spare. But we
caunot say that his was an un-
timely death. He was getting to
be an old man in years, yet he
had lost none of his mental vigor
and nothing OF his influence.
Happy the public man who does
not outlive the day of his useful
ness. but retires from the activi-
ties of life to enjoy the rest that
| is reserved for the faithful.

A warrant was issued this af-
ternoon for the arrest of Major
w. H. Martin, former cash er of
the State Treasury, who served
for four years under State Treas
urer Wor b. He is charged with
d sfalca ion amounting to about
S., 600, and practically admits the
char e. Maj. Martin was Institu-
tional Clerk and the amount was
taken from The State penitentiary.
He had changed the books so
that the defalcation was mt diss
covered until the new administra-
ton came in, and he drew a check
to balance the amount he had
taken. Then Trea .urer Lacy
stopped the payment of the check,
and began the Investigation of his
accounts.
He will have prelim nary

in the year 1900, or possibly be-
fore then, and continued until
about the last of November of
said year. The books have been
changed SO as 10 force balance.
This morning Homo aole B. R.

books and confesses that he took
the money covered ny the changes
amounting, according to his state-
ment. TO thirty-eight hundred

duty to lay these matters before
your Honorable Body to the end
