LYMAN ID. GILBERT

EATH has invaded Harrisburg
with great frequency during the
last year and some of our most
prominent and useful citizens
have fallen before his shafts. This
morning Lyman ID. Gilbert answered
the call and in his passing the COM
munity loses not only a distinguished
and able lawyer. but citizen who was
identified with every forward move
ment of the city and whose services
were always freely given to the up
building of his native place. Mr.. Gill
bert was a modest and unostentatious
man who did quietly but nevertheless
effectively the things which would
benefit the community and promote
the welfare of the people. He was
one of those men who had no taste for
spectacular display of his own achieve
ments nor was he accustomed to make
public his many benefactions. HE
who gives in secret shall be rewarded
openly is a promise which applies
with particular force to Mr.. Gilbert in
his attitude toward his unfortunate
and needy fellow men. Those who
knew him best were conscious of the
bigness of his heart and there are
scores and hundreds in Harrisburg to-
day who will pay tribute out of grate-
full memories to the great lawyer who
has dropped out of the ranks.
Mr.. Gilbert was many-sided man,
but only those who were in intimate
touch with him appreciated his fine
sense of humor and the wit which
made him one of the most delightful
members of any circle. He was the
personal friend of many eminent lead
ers and statesmen and his reminis-
cences of these men were so delight
full in their quaint humor and the
ability of the distinguished lawyer to
analyze the qualities of his friends
that on every occasion those about
him endeavored to draw from Mr.. Gill
bert's great fund of stories further
knowledge of the men of his day.
He was fond of the best in litera-
ture and with his keen, discriminating
and appreciative mind he got all that
was good out of the classics and the
later authors.
Probably no man in Pennsylvania
has written more platforms for the
Republican party than Mr.. Gilbert.
He was frequently called upon to pre-
pare resolutions on important public
questions and his power and felicity
of expression were recognized by his
fellow members Of the Bar. He loved
the practice of law and was an up
holder of the best traditions of the
legal fraternity.
Another strong man in this COM
munity has fallen. The good that he
has done and the charity which he
has dispensed and his public spirit will
constitute the best features of his
life's memorial.

GENERAL SICKLES

HE death of General Daniel 10.
Sickles removes from life one
who will be longest remembered,
possibly, for his military service.
AS one of the great commanders OF
the Civil War he won a fame that
classes him among the foremost OF the
worlds dashing fighters. Longstreet
said it was Sickles who saved the day
for the Union army at Gettysburg. On
a dozen less important fields he led
his men to victory
But Sickles possessed a type of cour-
age higher than that which took MIN
sword in hand to the cannon mouths of
rebel batteries. After he had slain the
despoiler of his home, and had been
acquitted, on the ground of the un-
written law" he took back his erring
wife, and to those of his friends who
expressed surprise he said;
| am not aware of any statute or
code of morals which makes IT m
famous to forgive n woman L can
see in that almost universal de
nunciation with which she is FOL
lowed to my Threshold the misery
and peril from which ] have rescued
the mother of my daughter. shall
strive to prove to all that an erring
wife and mother may be forgiven
and redeemed.
In the light of his turbulent life
General Sickles could hardly be held
up as an example of Christian man
hood, but there is In this splendidly
courageous declaration more than a
hint of the gentle spirit of the Master,
when lie said Let him who is with
out sin cast the first stone

the order. We hope other States
will follow. We have in Pennsylva-

more desirable dwellings-either new
or remodeled houses.
AS a matter of fact, the trans
formation of the area covered by the
extension of the park has been bless
ing in disguise for Harrisburg and a
proper improvement from the stand
point of the Commonwealth. Splendid
headway has been made in the pur-
chase of the property and it is ex-
pected the commission will be able to
make a most favorable report of its
operations at the next session of the
Legislature.
Governor Tener would be justified
in submitting in his last message to the
Legislature a recommendation looking
to the proper landscape treatment OF
the whole park zone from Third street
to the railroad and from Walnut to
North streets. AS the Governor who
made possible this fine improvement,
he is the one to outline the final
treatment of the park district

What has been to the business
men a sense of uneasiness for some
months has developed into sense
of depression. The uneasiness over
our foreign complications has dis
turbed our trade abroad and re-
flected upon our trade at home.
Uneasiness over the trend of legis-
1ation at Washington has brought
caution into our construction pro-
grams and has slowed down busi-
ness at home. Also, the change that
is gradually and slowly taking
place in the banking system has
brought about caution on the part
of the banking people with the re-
suit that money is tight. All of this
caution and conservatism has been
little too much for business men
who have been accustomed to 60
ing at rapid pace. Business gen
orally has slowed down. Only one
railroad is reported as being in the
market for coal this week, and it
took only $4,000 tons. Only one
other railroad was reported as be-
ing in the market for contracts i'm
mediately and it was demanding a
sharp reduction in price as the only
inducement which would lead it to
buy now. The steel trade is dis
posed to suspend shipments on coke
rather than place orders for new
supplies.

Secretary Redfeld, have 'the face" tc

lation has been stimulating to trade
and that the Underwood tariff law is

employe.

Democratic statesmen at Washington

is the matter?
