ALL EADE EQUAL BY DEATH
No Democracy Ever Conceived Is at
All Comparable TO That Of
the Tomb.

In the democracy Of the dead all men
at last are equal. There is neither
rank nor station nor prer0gative in the
republic of the grave. At this fatal
threshold the philosopher ceases to be
wise, and the song of the poet is 81"
lent Dives relinquishes his millions
and Lazarus his rags. The poor man
is as rich as the richest, and the rich
man is as poor as the pauper. The
creditor loses his usury and the debtor
is acquitted of his obligation There
the proud man surrenders his digni-
ties, the politician his hOnors, the
wording his pleasures; the invalid
needs no physician, and the laborar
rests from unrequited toll.
Here, at last, is natures final de-
cree in equity. The wrongs of time
are redressed. Injustice is expiated,
the irony of fate is refuted; the I'M
equal distribution Of wealth, honor, ca
pacity, pleasure and opportunity which
makes life such a cruel and inexplic-
able tragedy, ceases in the realm Of
death. The strongest there has no SUI
premacy, and the weakest needs no
defense. The mightiest captain sue
cumbs to that invincible adversary
who disarns alike the victor and the
yanQuishcd.-JOhn J. Ingalls,.

SUFFERED FOR His COUNTRY
Silas Deane, First American Diplomatic
Agent, Received Harsh Treatment
From Government.

Silas Deane, the first diplomatic
agent OF the United States, was born
st Groton, Mass, close to 200 years
ago. He became a merchant and was
g delegate to the first Continental con-
gress. In the spring Of 1776 he was
sent to France as a secret diplomatic
agent. He posed as a merchant from
Bermuda. and upon his arrival in
Paris sought an interview with Count
Gle Vergennes, the Minister OF Foreign
Affaires, who refused to receive him,
Deane was reduced to the direst pow.
erty and was elected by his landlady.
Subsequent American ambassadors
have complained Of the lack Of suit
able embassies, but Deane was re-
duced to o point where he had to ac-
cept poor lodgings from q sympa-
thetic Frenchman. Eventually he was
given an audience with Vergennes and
began the diplomatic relations which
eventually resulted in the French al
lance. In 1777 Deane was recalled.
In the bitter controversy which fol
lowed his recall Thomas Paine reveal
ed the fact that supplies furnished the
colonies had been furnished by the
French government. This was con-
sidered a diplomatic indiscretion and
it cost Paine his place as secretary Of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Deane, driven into poverty and exile
died in England in 1889. Half "a cen
fury later his claim for his services
abroad was adjusted by congress and
a large sum was paid his heirs.
