American Opportunity.

When Hon. George Bruce Cortelyou
took the oath of office as postmaster
general the other day there was an
portunity seized at the psychological
moment by resolute hand. "Seest
thou man diligent in his business
He shall stand before kings says Sol
ONION. That fits Cortelyou. He began
on the Washington stage as stenogra-
pher to Grover Cleveland. Following
the Scriptural injunction, he did witt,

MERGE and labor, secretary to the presi-
dent, chairman Of the Republican Ia
tional committee and postmaster gen

young man and would not make a blI
candidate for president. His head has
not been turned by his success, and Ii
is still polite, kind hearted and az
proachable. He has excellent business
capacity and will no doubt make all &C.
ceptable postmaster general. for that is
a great business Office. People general,

Served Three REPUBLICS.

Every honest man In America will
regret to hear of the death of the ven
cradle John II. Reagan Of Texas, not
so much because he was the last of
Jefferson Davis cabinet, but because
he stood boldly and consistently for all
that Is best and noblest in public life.
He died full of honors, but poor in this
worlds goods, after longer public ca
reer than any other man ever had on
this continent. He lived under three
flags, the Texan, the Confederate and
the American. He held high Office IN
der three republics, and he never held
one which he did not both fill and
adorn. If the history of his life were
well told it would be more interesting
than any tale out of the arabian
Nights" He was one of the glories of
the three republics which he served 50
well. His name should be forever cher
ished as great patriot.

IF ordinary intelligence can be in that

ing moment and not remember that II
was the home Of John Sherman, who
helped to rock the Republican cradle
and who for almost half century held
office continuously as representative
and senator in congress and as secre-
tary of the treasury and secretary OF
state. 1t would appear that lie ought
to have been happy, but he was not
as any hobo on the road, not because
he had not wealth. for he was a multi
millionaire; not because he did not
hold high office, for the length of his
official career was almost unparalleled,
but because he could not get the one
thing needful to fill the measure Of his
soaring and Unsuitable ambition-the
presidency of the United States Fail
ing that, nothing could console him to
what seemed to him hard and unjust
fate. 1t was his fortune to possess
great talents, indefatigab!e industry
and to secure any position he wanted
except one. He repeatedly saw smaller
men of his own party, sometimes Of
his own state, walk off with the gilt
tering prize for which he hankered and
strove and schemed, and the iron en-
tered his soul. He amassed great
fortune, which, having no children of
his own, he left to an adopted daugh-
ter not Of his blood. He fastened his
name upon great measures, some Of
which have been unduly praised, some
of which have been savagely abused
and with the framing Of some Of which
he had absolutely nothing to do. But,
while he somehow managed to appro-
pirate other mems bills, he could not
reach the goal on which his heart was
set. The history of the republic can
not be adequately written without his
name figuring in it extensively, but the
knowledge of that fact only increased
his bitterness. Why did the people
deny to him the supreme honor Of the
republic? 1t would be difficult if not
impossible to say. He was cold, but 81
was General Benjamin Harrison, who
with only a handful Of original follow
ers was nominated when Sherman wl@
the leading candidate. There was some
occult force which shut the doors Of tie

there Is q feud betwixt the houses Of
Fairbanks and New, just as there was
once upon q time betwixt those Of the

ruction grows out OF the fact that Fair

faction in Indiana, while New trained
with the Harrison contingent. Harri-

the old quarrel was smoothed over I'M
