DAVID B. HILL is DEAD.
Became Famous as a Political Lead
err With Cleveland.

Ut Will NiCh CldllOs
Albany, n. Y.-David Bennett Hill
died at his country home, Wolfert's
Roost. He had been i'll nearly three
weeks with a cold and a bilious at
tack but his condition had not been
considered serious. He was sitting
up in bed TO take a drink of water
when he was seized with an acute
diliation Of the heart. Death quickly
followed with no one but a nurse at
his bedside.
Mr.. Hill had long been a sufferer
from Bright's disease, which primar-
fly brought upon him the condition
that ended in his death.
Governor White issued a procla-
nation requesting that the flags up
on all the public buildings of the
State be displayed at half-mat until
shutdown on the day Of Senator
Hills funeral and that the citizens
of the State unite in appropriate
marks of respect to his memory.
1T is with sincere sorrow that I
announce the death Of David Ben
nett Hill, former Governor of the
State of New York." said Governor
White. This sad event marks the
close of a remarkable career. For
more than thirty years David Ben
nett Hill was a prominent figure in
the public life of the State. e.
The force Of his personality i'm
pressed itself not only upon the
people of New York but upon the
whole country, and at the expiration
of his final term as Governor he
became the candidate of his party
in the State of New York for the
presidential nomination before the
Democratic national convention. AS
United States Senator from 1891 to
1897, he found an ample opportun-
ity for the exercise of his skill as a
parliamentarian, his brilliant pow
ers as an orator and his uncommon
gifts as a leader of men,"

ton at least. The government has on
hand 5000, 900 of the stamps which
can be sold at ten cents each, with
the cards to which they are to be at

each, so when a card has nine stamps
affixed the whole may be turned in
to represent a deposit of one dollar
Such an arrangement encourages
small savings, the aggregate of which
may become very large.

Capitalization VersusH Home Rule.

THE tendency towards centralized govern
ment and the autocratic rule of the entire
country from Washington, is one that we find
a protest against in our valued contemporary,
the New ORLEANS PICAYUNE, which protest is
very apropos. In it's issue of January Is, under
the caption of National Drift of Consolidation
the leading editorial discusses the assembling of
the governors of the various states of the union
at Washington at the call of the president as
being an evidence of the loss of individuality on
their part and an apparent consent to merge
their own individuality in the greater individu-
atty of the national government. The Plea
YUNE, although one of the most staunch demo-
cratic journals, seems to give up the matter in
despair and concludes its protest against the
willing response of the governors to the call of
the president with the s~oliloquy We'll, there is
nothing surprising in this. The present is the
age of great, consolidated empires. No loose
jointed republic can maintain itself against the
conditions that have come into existence"
We regret to note this confession in forma
pauperis and would call the attention of the dis
tinguished editor of the PlcAYUNE to the fact

that this idea Of Capitalization
can be looked upon with a great
deal Of suspicion and especially
when it falls into the hands OF
such monopoiists as p%Ierpont
Morgan and John D. Rockefeller.
Another point worthy Of very
serious. consideration is the fact
that the great West in actual
money and in resources that
produce actual money, is by tar
the richest part Of the country
and has been for more than a
generation. The Chicago banks
did not suspend payment in 1873,
although the New York banks
did. Judging from this, We
should say that if there were to
be a central bank it should be 10
Gated in Chicago and not in New
York, but we should prefer to DO
without any more Capitalization
than is necessary to MAINTAIN
our federal government, just as
the organic law contempIates
that it should be maintained.
Let each state take care Of itself
to the best Of it's ability ard if
it makes mistakes, let it learn
by the bitter experience OF the
mistakes thus made, In
like manner. the smaller sub-dl-
visions Of the states should be
given a free hand under the con-
troll Of the constitution and laws
, Of the respective states. Let US
get rid Ct this Capitalization
idea.
