(irrnrnl Sherman Dead.
Satui "Jay afternoon last at 1:50, Gen
eral Sherman died, surrounded by his
family. It seems that two weeks ago,
the general, though in the best of health,
remarked to General Collis that he would
be dead and in bis grave on the day when
the celebration of ..General Grant's birth
day, April 27th, would take place. He
had a premonition that his life was very
nearly at an end.
Thursday evening it is expected that
his body will be taken New York to St.
Louis for burial.
For the last two hours of his life he
was unconscious. Before that he appar
ently recognized those that were about
him by a look of the eye, but for the last
twenty-four hours he did not utter a
sound other than a hoarse gasp.
William Tecumseh Sherman was born
in Lancaster, O., Feb. 18,1820. He came
of a distinguished line of ancestors. In
1823 his father was elected to the su
preme bench of Ohio. In 1829 he died,
leaving Mrs. Sherman with eleven chil-
daen, the oldest 18 years, the youngest
one month old. Thos. Ewing, a neigh
bor, adopted the third son, Tecumseh,
and secured? his appointment as a cadet
at West Point, where he received the
training that so well qualified him for
the career that has just closed. He was
appointed to West Point in 3S, gradu
ated in '40, appointed second lieutenant
in tho third artillery, and promoted to
first lieutenant in '41, served in Florida,
South Carolina, California and New
York; was married May, 1850 to Miss
Ellen Ewing, daughter of Hon. Thos.
Ewing, at that time secretary of the in
terior. As captain, was stationed at St,
Louis, then at New Orleans. He re
signed from the army in September, '53.
In '58 he went to Leavenworth, Kaa,
where he practiced law a year. Jan. 1,
I860, he was elected superintendent of
the state seminary and military academy
at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which posi
tion he resigned Jan. 18, 61. May 14,
'51 he was appointed colonel of the
Thirteenth regular infantry and was in
the battle of Bull Run, July 21. At
Shiloh, Halleck said that Sherman's
firmness saved the day, and Grant an
nounced officially that he was indebted
to Gen. Sherman for the success of the
battle. From here on volumes might be
written to detail what he and his soldiers
did for the union,'and yet not do justice
to him or to them.
Perhaps no man occupied a warmer
place in the affections of the host that
helped to quell the rebellion than did
General Sherman. Thoroughly patriot
ic, fully eqnipped as a soldier, coura
geous, determined, quick to see and
equally quick to act," just and magnani
mous and yet gentle withal to his friends,
they could but recognize his great
worth.
He is gone, and no national gathering
of soldi' rs but will feel his absence. His
deeds vill live as long as the American
people shall remember the men who
helped to savethe government in its
greatest peril, and so long as manly
qualities shalljexcite emulation and ad
miration. No more fitting words could well be
spoken than those of the president's
message to congress on Saturday:
"To the senate and house of repre
sentatives: The death of William Te
cumseh Sherman, which took place
today, is an event that will bring sorrow
to the heart of every patriotic American.
No living American was so loved and
venerated as he. To look upon his face,
to hear his name was to have one's love
of country intensified. He served his
country, not for fame, not out of a sense
of professional duty, but for love of the
Hag and of the beneficent civil institu
tions of which it was the emblem. He
was an ideal soldier and shared to the
fullest the esprit du corps of the army,
but he cherished the civil institutions
organized under the constitution and
was only a soldier that these might be
perpetuated in undiminished usefulness.
He was in nothing an imitator. A pro
found student of military science and
precedent, he drew from them principles
and suggestions and so adapted them to
novel conditions that his campaigns will
continue to be a profitable study of the
military profession throughout the
world. His genial nature made him a
comrade to every soldier of the great
union army. No presence was so wel
come and inspiring at a camp-fire or
commandery as his. His career jras
complete, his honor was full. He had
received from the government the high
est rank known to our military estab
lishment, and from the people unstinted
gratitude and love. His death followed
in startling suddenness that of the ad
miral of the navy, and it is a sad and
notable fact that when the department
under which he served shall have put on
the usual emblem of mourning four of
the eight executive departments will le
simultaneously draped in black, and one
other has but today removed the crape
from its walls.

The Argus says: '"The Columbus
Journal is monkeying with the inde
pendent county ticket for next fall," and
suggests that in our "old age" we re
member the admonition about the buzz
saw. We are compelled to say to the
Argus, in all kindness, that boys are in
the habit of making straw men and
playing fight with them, and the Argus
is no exception in this case. All the
"monkeying" is being done by the Argus
as witness the signatnre "An Alliance
Man and not a Platte Centerite." The
Journal deals in facts, and it is a fact
that the ticket we set forth as talked
about has been talked of the most strong
ly of any. The people of the county are
interested in these matters, "sir," and
The Journal purposes keeping them
informed. We might have added one
name to the list given but supposed it
was a joke that of Dennis Dugan for
county judge, and so did not give it.
"An Alliance Man of Columbus twp.
and not a Platte Centerite," assumes to
say 11k. . none of tkTe men mentioned are
aturing for office; probably he knows
all about them, "sir," but if the editor of
the Argus thinks he can hide himself
behind such a thin gauze as a signature,
he has even less sense than a monkey,
though he may think himself "real cute"
and cunning.
Here is a pointed and forcible tariff
argument for our farmer friends from
the New York Press, on its baking pow
der plan of illustration:
Did anybody in this country eat fewer
eggs in November, 1890, than in No
vember, 1889? Yet in November, 1889,
with eggs on the free list we import
ed 2,468,452 dozen
cf eggs, but in November, 1890, under
the McKinley duty on eggs, only
127,808 dozen.
It simply means that $395,741 went
into the pockets of American fanners
instead of Canadian farmera.
Iitnsth of the Wnrkiiic Mfr.
Soroeis hit a vital topic in its discus
sion of the question whether the length
of the period of active usefulness in a
human life was not in a great measure
dependent on individual resolve and
effort. Certainly it is, ladies. There
never was a time in history when man
kind were struggling so fiercely for de
velopment as they are at present, and
statisticians tell us that in spite of this
fierce and terrible struggle for money,
for knowledge, for fame or whatever
else man thinks is desirable the average
of human life is steadily lengthening.
Struggle means strength. In no other
way than by striving, ever striving with
might and main, can wo become strong
er, better, wiser, handsomer, richer. It
is the history of all great live;; it is the
history of all great nations. If tho grub
did not strain and stretch it would never
be a butterfly.
People who give up and slump down
at the age of fifty or thereabouts grow
old and useless, and would better be
dead. If man is an immortal soul there
is just as much youth in him after ninety
years of existence on this plauet as there
is after twenty years. In actual life we
find that those who have striven always
bravely and hopefully, suffering per
haps, and many a time feeling weak
and lonely, but never giving up these
are the ones who have lived longest, par
ticularly if they have been engaged in
some work that is helpful to mankind
or some intellectual or literary work.
Gladstone has passed his eighty-first
birthday, and the Liberal party of Eng
land looks confidently forward to hav
ing him for its leader several years yet,
Whittier, tho poet of freedom and good
will, is older yet, being 83. That merry
old genius, Oliver Wendell Holmes, is
81. Mrs. Stowe is 78. All of these are
still at work except Mrs. Stowe. Glad
stone never in his most youthful, strong
est days accomplished more than lie does
now. Sir Moses Montefiore, the philan
thropist, lived till past 100. Chevreul,
the great French chemist, was 103 at
the time of his death, and worked enthu
siastically till the last.
Old age, decrepitude and imbecility
are lnrgely matters of giving up. It is

How is ThW
In a late numler of Tnn Journal we
printed what wo had learned was the
"slate" for the Alliance ticket this fall
in Platte county, that is to say, tho as
pirants now talked of for the office. A
correspondent in the Argus (and Argus
correspondents seem to grow fijnmta
neously in the Argus office, when need
ed) seems to think that The Journal is
trying to "work" something. TnE Jour
nal had no designs. The men named
have been talked of for the several
offices, that is all. We give what the
"correspondent" says; those of our read
ers who are familiar with Argus articles,
can very easily discern the peculiar
hand-writing between the lines:
"will divide the spoils.
Columbus Twr., Feb. 7. Special.
The following clipping from our repub
lican friend looks like a political dagger
thrust at PlattCenter:
The alliance Ticket for next fall, so far
as we have heard it talked of is: For
county judge, J. S. Freeman; sheriff,
Fred Jewell; superintendent of schools,
P. W. Hess; clerk of district court, W.
Saunders; county clerk, C. C. Carrig;
treasurer, J. W. Lynch. Columbus
Journal.
But it won't work, Mr. Journal, while
these men to whom you refer are all
good men, yet they are not aspiring for
office and the independents do not ex
pect to fill all the county offices nor any
of them unless the farmers so desire.
But let me say now for your information
that the one thousand alliance men of
Platte county are bound together too
firmly to be divided by such little tricks
as this. Yes, sir, we are aware that Platte
Center supported our ticket last fall,
better than any other town in the coun
ty, and if there should be one county
office filled by a townsman, wo hope he
may be a Platte Centerite. But talk of
four or five, oh, no! Wo think we can
divide tho spoils over the county in
better shape than that.

CANADIAN AFFAIRS.
How Reciprocity i Regarded.
The Hon. Mr. Chapleau, secretary of
state for Canada, in the course of his
opening speech in the campaign, speak
ing of the Lilerals' policy, said : "The
object and aim of unrestricted reciproc
ity leads unreservedly to annexation.
It would, perhaps, be going too far to
say that the Liberals of Ontario were in
favor of union with the United States,
because the Hon. Mr. McKenzie has
squarely denounced it and Mr. Make de
clared the other day that his most ardent
wish was to live and die leneath the
folds of the British flag. Mr. Chariton,
is, however, an American by birth and
suspected of annexation tendencies, and
although sir Richard Cartwright has
so far kept silent on this point it is at
least singular to see him, without hold
ing any official position, intriguing
against his government and country
with American politicians. The Lileral
party looks to Washington for its inspi
ration. It secretly conspires for our ab
sorption in the American Repub
lic. No, the annexation party of Pap
ineau, Dontre, Dessaullis and Dorion is
not dead. Its spirit animates their suc
cessors, and if they had tho courage they
would squarely raise the American flag."
Admiral Porter Dead.
David Dixon Porter died suddenly at
Washington Saturday at 8:15 a. m.. of
fatty degeneration of the heart. For
five generations the Porters have served
the country with distinguished bravery.
His father and grandfather and great
grandfather, his brothers, cousins and
other near relatives have distinguished
themselves. The admiral was born in
Chester, Pa., June 8, 1813, and at the age
of eleven went with his father on an ex
pedition against pirates in the West
Indies. He served in tho Mexican navy;
in 1829 entered the U. S. navy as mid
shipman; became lieutenant in '41. April
22, '61, he was appointed commander and
soon after took charge of the mortar
fleet
He was entrusted with many impor
tant projects against the enemy, his most
brilliant, perhaps, being the running
past the batteries at Vicksburg, and
subsequent work there. In August,
1870, he was made admiral.
J. D. Calhoun gives the following de
scription of the alliance legislators who
didn't vote with their comrades:
"Dunn of Colfax, one of the Independ
ents who voted to recognize Boyd, is a
spectacled sample of American improve
ment on the Dickens Cheeryble. Per
haps CO, slightly bald, with full curling
beard of brown and gray, rosy and
smooth skin, amiability and good intent
beam from every feature.
Waldron of Adams, another bolting
Independent, is a younger man, brown
hair, beard and eyes, aquiline nose,
thoughtful eyes and countenance.
Lomax of Custer, still another, is a
modest young man with no particularly
striking characteristic, unless it may bo
a sedateness more than usually marked.
He is a plain featured blonde, farmer
like man, wearing a slight mustache."
Another valuable branch of livestock
industry has come to light in the south,
and might be utilized to advantage
hero, as well as there. What, is the uso
in plodding away forever in the same
old ruts corn, oats and hogs? Why
not try rabbits? Tho Atlanta (Ga.,)
Journal says: "Tom Jones, a worthy
colored man, living near tho North
eastern depot in Athens, has domesti
cated a large colony of the old field gray
rabbits. Tom has about twenty-five
breeders, and says that rabbits are
raised as easily as chickens. They run
at large in the yard, and become as tamo
as honse cat9. They increase very fast,
and sell readily at ten cents each for pets
or cooking purposes. There are always
orders ahead for them. They grow very
fast, and from ono pair he can raise more
rabbits in a year than tho best hen will
raise chickens."
Cheap Fuel.
Among the latest attempted solutions
of the cheap fuel problem is the method
of a German inventor, who proposes to
manufacture gas by dropping a stream
of crude petroleum through a blast of
cold air from a force pump. Tho gas
thus obtained will be confined in a regu
lar cylinder open at one end, where it
will lie lighted. This produces an in
tensely hot flame of several feet in
length. By means of this flame the in
ventor proposes to heat Ixiilors, and he
maintains that the heating of large
blocks can thus be reduced very consid
erably. New York Telegram.

Washington Letter.
From our regular correeriondcnt.
The president has cause for feeling in
a good humor, notwithstanding the le-
lief that the democrats of the house
have in caucus agreed to do their ut
most to force the calling of an extra
session of congress. Tho reciprocity
treaty with Brazil, which was transmit
ted to the senate last week, has received
nothing but praise on all sides; even the
most rabid democrats admit that it
marks the beginning of a new era in our
foreign trade and that it is particularly
favorable for the extension of trade in
our agricultural products. Of course
these favorable opinions are pleasing to
the president and secretary Blaine, even
to a greater extent than they are to the
rest of the republicans.
The committee which has been inves
tigating the charges against commis
sioner of pensions Raum has made a
report setting forth that not a single
one of tho charges has been proven.
The democrats on the committee have
made a minority report the same one
that was used as a campaign document
in the late congressional campaign.
For the remainder of the session the
senate, in addition to meeting daily at
11 o'clock and sitting until 6, is to hold
evening sessions every day. The house
also meets at 11, and an attempt is to be
made to have it also hold evening ses
sions. Mr. Wanamaker's postal telegraph
idea was never very popular in tho
house, but that does not excuse the
methods of Jay Gould and his lobbyists,
by which the measure has been killed.
There are some ugly rumors about the
spending of S50.U00 in cold cash by
Gould's chief representative here within
the last few days to make sure that the
bill wjis dead beyond resurrection for
this season.
The senate has passed the pension ap
propriation bill with amendments mak
ing the attorney's fee for obtaining an
increase of pension $", on all applica
tions filed after the date of act, but
leaving it at 810 on all cases now lend
ing. The house will probably insist, for
a time any way, on its original bill,
which reduced the fee to 82 in all cases
of increase.
