IT IS now apparent Unit a low bridge

Ih'llovuo and Florence would not bo a
safe bridge.
A I.ONO pull , a&tronfi ; pull and n pull

project will double the population of

Ai.r. that congress is doing now Is
Bcoopiuir the puoplo's inonoy into aban
doned rivers and harbors as a side issue ,
nnd attending the races as au abiding
occupation.
A LUTIIKHAN conference at Greens-
burg , 1'a. , lias decided that playing
at.card , ball or billiards is not wrong.
This only affords another striking proof
that the world does inovo.
IK COI.ONKI. Ci.AUKbON keeps up hia

A poiNTr.il to the democracy : Why
not chalk out Hill and Cleveland and
put up your uncle , Bon Duller ? Ho has
more brains than both , And might , after
Biilllcionl urging , bn persuaded to make
the race.
TIIK endorsement of Boles by the
Iowa democrats has no sincerity behind -
hind it. The democracy of that state is
thoroughly honeycombed with Cleveland -
land idolatry. When Grover calls for
his own , Iowa democrats will not bo
missed.
TIIK Missouri river holds n mortgage
on every aero of land between the
bluffs on either sldo and it is liable to
foreclose in any season of high water
until the channel is permanently fixed
botwcon Florence and South Omaha by
solid ripraps.
TKK politic.il situation in England is
peculiar. Not since the overthrow of
Itnaconslield in 18SO have all'alrs boon
BO intricately confused. At the coming
regular septennial election more judg
ment and patriotic direction will prob-
nbly bo shown than in the fitful elec
tions of the past six years. For that
reason a victory for Gladstone is possi
ble.
"GKNKKAI , " PAUL VANUKRVOOKT ,
who , by the way , only ranked as a cor
poral on the army muster roll , has vol-
untoorcd to take charge of the campaign
of the independent people's party and
proposes to open national headquarters
in Omaha. With Vandorvoort at its
head the grand army of anti-monopolists
nmny bo sure of a. glorious retreat next
November.
.JOHN SIIKUMAN , it is said , will soon
retire from the senate , wearied with
the strife and disappointments of poli
tics. Other great men have experi
enced the same fooling at the close of a
political career. How pathetic was the
eigh of Daniel Wobntor during his last
days : "I have spent my life in law and
politics ; the one is uncertain nnd the
other is utterly vain. "
TIIK Monroe doctrine will in the
future demand from this nation a
clear nnd linn exposition and pup-
port. The issues growing out of
that doutltio are to bo among the
greatest nnd most vexatious of our
future. When the facts tire fully known ,
It will clearly appear that most of the
troubles which prevail now and have
prevailed recently in South America
have boon the direct results of Euro-
j/uun interference. It is wise now to
rebuke tlut Interference nnd to prepare
for the consequences.
ALTHOUGH winter still lingers in the
lap of spring the annual exodus of
wealthy capitalists has begun from Boa-

their annual ( light from the Hub to

assessor , who Js liable to pry into their

Nebraska la comparatively a very
young slitto. Twonty-flvo years ngo the
only industrial establishments in the
state worthy of nolo were the Union Pa
cific Itnllronu company's machine shops
ut Omaha. There were a few ( louring
mills S'-attoi'od over the state on the
principal streams. The want of cheap
coal and the raw materials that enter
Into the mnko-up of the products of the
factory wore regarded as Insurmount
able obstacles in the path of manufac
turing enterprises.
Manufactures are still in their in
fancy in this state , but the progress
made in industrial production has
proved a gratifying disappointment
to people who believed that
Nebraska never could bo anything but
an agricultural stato.
As a matter of fact the strides mndo
within Iho paatdccado in the develop
ment of our homo Industries exceed the
moat sanguine anticipations , illlla and
factories have sprung tip and multiplied
in every village and city. Articles
that nobody over dreamt of seeing pro
duced in this state ate becoming staple
products. On the heel of the grout
sugar rollnoriosof Grand Island and Nor
folk conies the cotton mill at Kearney
and the po-irl button factory at Omaha.
And these are only the forerunners of
scores of industrial concerns that nro
destined to llourish in Nebraska during
the present decade.
At best the people ol Nebraska only
have a faint conception of the magni
tude which our manufactures have al
ready reached , anil oven for these who
are most familiar with the subject a
startling surprise ia In atoro when they
come to view the exposition of Nebraska-
made products that is to bo opened in
Omaha during the coining month. This
really is to bo the first exposition in
Nebraska worthy of Iho name. It will
bo strictly devoted to an oxhibitof homo
industries and will demonstrate the
facilities which Nebraska already pos
sesses for manufacturing articles which
are in active demand within the region
tributary to our wholesale dealers.
Tiiih is not a'l ' , however. The coming
exposition will also alTord convincing
proof of the capacity of Nebraska to
supply the country at large , ana oven
foreign countries , with certain staple
products of our mills and factories that
are in universal demand. Every .Ne-
braskan can therefore look forward to
the coming industrial exposition with
confidence and prido.

It certainly waa not necessary to wait
for the present congress to establish the
fact that Mr. Ilolman of Indiana , the
chairman of the house committee on
appropriations , is a demagogue. That
has boon known to the country for some
years , but in his present capacity ho has
had an unusually favorable opportunity
to ompliasixn it , and ho has improved it
BO thoroughly as to call down upon him
self the unqualified condemnation of
men of hia own p'irty. A number of
democratic members of tlie house have
felt it to bo their duty to denounce the
ridiculous parsimonv of Ilolman , and
several h-wo arraigned the so-caUod
watch-dog of the treasury as being par
tial to economy in public expenditures
only when they did not apply to his own
state or district. A few weeks ago.
when a bill was before the house mak
ing appropriations to supply deficiencies
in the Department of Agriculture , Mr.
Hatch of Missouri , chairman of the com
mittee on agriculture , made this reference -
once to Ilolman : ' ! have seen him time
and time again whori ho would take tha
knife of the constitution and pare an ap
propriation so close that you could not
sco it under a microscope. When hia
own Btato waa interested I have seen
him open the doors broader than would
allow this capltol to go through. "
Others have made a like charge with
less directness.
A few daya ago , when the sundry civil
appropriation bill was being considered ,
the demagogic policy of Iho great
cheoso-paror was shown up by cx-
Speaker Kocd in a way that ought to
attract the attention of the country.
Mr. Ueeil said that nobody know bettor
than the chairman of the committee on
appropriations that all the appropria
tions passeil by the house have to bo
rovlsc'd and have got to bo added to by
the semite of the United Stutos in ac
cordance with their ollicial duty , which
they will have to perform. "IIo knows
the government will not bo starved , bo-
cauhO the senate will put in the amend
ments , " und the object of making ap
propriations which it is well understood
will not moot the necessities of the pub-
lie service olllclontly administered is
"to go to Iho country with n-falso token ,
to cliargo the senate of the United
States and the political parly which it
represents with oxtravagnnco that these
men themselves have justified by their
own votes and hands. " It Is an attempt ,
said Mr. Hood , to obtain the good will
of the American people upon their
economic side without actually benefit
ing .thora the Icaat in the world. The
expedient , or moro properly the tricky
practice. Is not now , but it la not for
that reason any the loss contemptible
and it never has helped and wl'.l not
now help the party guilty of it.
Ilolman lias obtained notoriety as an
honest advocate ot economy In public
expenditures to which ho ia not justly
entitled , according to Iho testimony of
men of hia own party who have long
served with him In congress. IIo ia
shown to bo an arrant demagogue
without a Hlnglo genuine claim to
public confidence.
TIIK JOH'A fVl.V/JIIMTB.
The democrats of lowu have attracted
the Attention of the country , as it was
expected they would do when they de
clared their preference fo.1 Horace Moles
as a candidate for prosidunt of the
United Statos. That action has given
Governor Holes a prestige and an Im
portance in the list of possible < lumo-
cratli : candidates for the presidency enjoyed -
joyed by no other "favorite son"and
there la excellent reason to expect that
ho will Htoadlly gain in prominence as
an available loiJor : of the democracy in
the national contoat.
Inferring to the action of the Iowa
democratic convention In instructing
for Holes the Philadelphia Iteconl says :
' 'Thoro in no doubt that no other demo
crat , not oxcoutlnsr Clovoluud , | would
have so good a prospcit of carrying
Iowa , with its httoun cloiloral voles ,
M would ( .nvcrnor Holes , should the
democratic. * national convention doom u
western candidate necessary for success.
Governor Boies would prolnbly bo the
strongest man that could bo mimed ,
especially slnco Senator Palmer has
taken himself out of the field. " The
Springfield ( Mass. ) ItepuoUean says :
"Tho-falluro at Homo of both Gray of
Indiana and Palmer of Illinois has of
fered the democrats of Iowa an oppor
tunity which they have availed thorn-
solves of with colnrity. With Cleveland
out of the race the Iowa candidate , of
course , will assume proportions in the
convention that must bo reckoned with.
Never before has a sttilo west of the
Mississippi river presumed to name the
standard-bearer of the democratic party
of ( ho nation. It is not too much to say
oven that slnco thu days of Stephen A.
Douglass , 'tho llttlo giant of the west , '
no candidate lor such high honors has
arisen so near the setting sun with an
equal claim lo the attention of the demo-
cm U of the land. " Of course these
eastern journals BOO a danger to Boies
in hi ? presumed attitude on the silver
question , but ho has yet to doilno his po
sition on thai issue , and il is possible
that II will ho found to bo loss radical
than the enunciation of the Iowa demo
cratic convention regarding silver.
At any into the democrats of Iowa nl-
ready find Iho wisdom of their straight
forward action vindicated , and the ef
fect will undoubtedly bo to strengthen
their devotion to their favorite candi
date. The acknowledgement of the
availability of Governor Boioa by news
papers which have hitherto boon able
to see but ono possible loader of the
democracy in the presidential battle
cannot fail to stimulate the earnestness
and the enthusiasm of his supporters ,
and increase their determination to
"uso every honorable means to aouuro
his nomination. " It will not bo sur
prising if when the democratic national
convention meets the contest for the
nomination shall have narrowed down
to Cleveland and Boies , and in that
event Iho chances of the Iowa candidate
would be extremely good.
IT is said that the moro moderate sli
ver men in congress are very well
pleased with the progress which has
been made toward an international
monetary conference , and accept it as an
curnesl of Iho sincerity of the adminis
tration. They think that in order to
make the conference of any advantage
the president must appoint men who tire
friendly to silver , and there can bo no
reasonable objection to this view. In
deed , it is entirely safe to assume that
the president would not appoint men
who are unfriendly to silver , for ho
would hardly select delegates whoso
opinions antagonize his own. The
United States will have live representa
tives in the conference , and this will
give an opportunity for the representa
tion of various views , and very likely
the president will bo disposed to allow
the extreme free coinage advocates ono
delegate at least , as It manifestly would
bo good policy to do this. The proaidont
is himself a friend of bimetallism , and
there can bo no doubt that a majority of
the delegates from the United States to
the conference will bo favorable to that
policy. There need bo no apprehension
that in this matter the president will
fail to give all sides an opportunity to
be heard , and ho will have no difilculty
in selecting representative men who
will bo satisfactory to the country. IIo
has shown that no ono has n moro ear
nest interest than himself in this ques
tion.
IF TIIK council is bound to expend
every dollar in Iho street lighting fund
Omaha should at least enjoy the ad
vantage of reasonable rates for all the
additional electrical lamps the council
proposes to ordor. The only excuse
given for Iho extravagant price charged
for electric lights under the original
Thomson-Houston contract was the
small number of street lamps then or
dered. If wo are to double Iho number
of lamps there should bo a material re
duction in price. In any event , the
contract at present rates should only
run from year lo year. The time is not
distant when the oily will find it profit
able to acquire a plant and manufacture
its own electric light.
Tiil'HK has never boon a more foolish
atlack made than that of the democratic
organs up m Iho sugar clause of the Me-
Kinloy law. The people of the United
States know where tliov have received a
direct und positive bonolll in thu cheap
ening of ono of the gront nocobuarios of
life. Compared with thai actual reduc
tion , the iridescent and beautifully col
ored clronms and fulr.v talcs of the free
traders nro fiction , and that ia fact.
A WON'iiBKl'Ui. spectacle it ia to see
Iowa free allvor und honest money clom-
ocrala tin-owing up their hats and ap
plauding Iho doublo-endor money planlc
in their platform. It ia a canvonlonl
straddle , a feeble compromise , a coward
ly evasion. Il is suspended , like the
corpse in Mnhomul'ti rollln , between
heaven and earth with all the agony of
both and none of the bliss of either.
IT is never wise to place much roll-
anco upon democratic intestinalciuacrela.
After the nomination il is moro than
likoh that moil of the bickering will
bo laid aside until after oleolfbn , and
the democracy will bo u compact body
of howling piirti.siins , with all their
dlllaroncea put to sleep under the potent
ppoll of political hunger.
TllitKK months ago David U. Hill

This Is n qood iimo for the republican
Journals of the country to begin tolling Iho
aelecntos to thonatloatl convonllon Ihnl n
platform Ilka that of 1 , ' 3 $ will not bo tolor-
ntod tills year. The deliverance of thiilyoar
did nolhouostlyor inlulURoatly rolloot re
publican sentiment. On the tarllT nnil on
silver 11 was neodlesslj nnd inoxcasnbly-
misleading. Thus , In rofornnR lo ttio tariff ,
It declared that "It there shall remain a
larger revenue than Is requisite for the wants
of Iho government wo favor Iho entire repeal
of the Internal taxes nitbor ttina Iho sur
render of nny part of our protoollvo svstom
nt the Join behest of tbo whlslcy
trusts nnd the ngonts of foreign
manufacturers. This was an un-
fortutmto utterance. It was clumsy and
deceptive , rendered frequent explanation
necessary nnd put the party on the defensive
In the early part ot the campaign. In deal
ing with silver the platform was fully as
bail. After saying that "tho republican
party Is In favor of the use of both gold nnd
silver ns money , " which was true then as It
Is true now , It lugged in the uimocossnry ,
Idiotic and harmful assertion lhal Iho repub
lican party "condemns the policy of the dem
ocratic administration In Its ortorta to de
monetize silver. "
These expressions reveal a blindness nnd
an Imbecility on the part of the men \vho
drew up the platform which nro amn/.liiK
and Inexplicable. The tarltl utterances put
the party In the attitude of favoring the
removal of the tax on whisky r\lbortlmn :
allow a slnglo customs duly to bo lowered.
Of course Iho party did not subscribe lo any
sucii vicious doctrine. Indeed Itio ropub-
can congress wliich wns elected In thai very
campaign removed the dulios ou sugar ,
amounting to over J.10,000,000 n year , alto
gether , nnd left the whisky tax unloucticd ;
nnd the republican president , who wns
chosen at the same time , afllxod his signature )
to Ibis logislatlon. The silver expression ap
peared to commit the republicans lo free
coinage. Cleveland was denounced for
stnndlng out nMainst the policy of tbrowini ?
tbo mints wide open to silver , when the re
publicans In congress were on Cleveland's '
sldo on thU question and his own party
ngalnst him. 1'resldonl Harrison's silver ut-
leranccs in his messages and in his Albany
speech last year , In which ho look precisely
the same ground ai thai occupied by his
predecessor , have ecn applauded by Iho
republican party and have boon put in prac
tical shape ! n republican policy. The crim
inal stillness of | SSS musl not bo repeated.
There musl bo no trickery , evasiveness or
dtshoucsly. Thci men who draw up Iho party
aellver.inco must nut It In harmony wllh
party sentiment. The extreme length of the
platform of four years ago , which would
have been a radical defect lu any other proc
lamation of principles which over emanated
from n republican nntlonal gathering , was a
sort of virtue in thai ono , as It repelled Iho
average reader , and thus , lo some extent nt
least , concealed 'Iho blindness and folly of
Ihe plalform's frnmers. ,

The falling of a large portion of the costly
county hospital near Omaha is a warning to
county and municipal olllciala against such'n
work on public buildings thnt should not go
unheeded. It seems to bo agreed that the
fault was witn the contractors , who used
fraudulent material and employed unskilful
workmen. The wing that fell happened by
the merest chance to bo unoccupied. It was
Inteiuiod for the insane inmates of the ijounty
poorhousc , but owing to the continuance of
the cold weather they had not been moved in.
If they had been there they would all have
perished. Words fall to express the fooling
of the outraced taxpayers of Douglas county
In the matter , but as the county commis
sioners had accepted the building which had

Mr. C. I . U. Williams , odltor of the Grand

to the national con volition , makes the following -
lowing comment nu thu Inexcusable conten
tion Ituldo of the party ranks over a dead
ibsua ;
Harmony Is the strength i'ml support of
all Institutions and organizations , and the
disposition that is exhibited to have it pro-
vult In the republican ranks tuU year nnd
forever after Is , oxcpcdlncly gratifying.
With few exceptions the republican press of
Iho alula Is u unit lu furthering the cn-
dnavors being made to east aside personal
prejudice dnd uoity onuillius , so the I'ultlo
that is to ccuio may bo waged abouldar

nnd Indulging lu .senseless r.ivlugs against
anything nnd everything tint snvoM of
Omaha , nro timiuo < Uoiinbly noting unwisely
nnd to the permanent detriment ot the In
terests of the republican party. Uosownter
was not responsible for the defeat thnl Mr.
Uichards suffered and there Is not Iho least
reason why his crucifixion should bo do-
ninndcd when the bare foots In the c.tso mint
domonst rnto to any ro.isonnblo Individual thnl
ho wns not guilty of the charge made attains !
him. Mr. Ulchnrda is n Rood republi
can and needs no vindication. Ills
election as dologato-nt-lnrgo wns nn
honor that ho , as n good republican , wns
legitimately entitled to. It was In no sense
a lotion to bo applied to soothing his wounded
spirit , as some of his trlonds scorn to Imag
ine , and would civo turf world at , largo to
understand , providing his spirit had been
wounded. The right thai Is inherent In
every American citizen lo aspire to any
position within the cift of his people was
exorcised by Mr. Uichards , and when the
wishes of hlmsolf und his friends had boon
respected and the honor of nn election as
delegate conferred , there the matter should
hnvo rested.
The supplication that has frequently boon
offered up by mnny Individuals in public
life , that they might bo snvnd from their
fool frlomls , could , with porfoot consistency ,
bo Indulged In now by Mr. Uichards.Vhllo
ho Is satisfied , In the Interests of harmony In
the parly , lo cry quitsa fawconstdornto Indi
viduals are continuing an Indiscriminate
warfare which , Instead of bonolitlng , is
rapidly dlsgus ng and alienating from him
these who have over been his warmest sup
porters. Mr. Uichards Is not a republican
Idol , neither are his poiMonnl interests
paramount to those of the republican
party nor republican success , and the' one
who would Imperil the latter in order that
ho might as ho foolishly behoves subserve
the other will Hud that his efforts will meet
with a reverse ollnct from which ho antici
pates.

The "convonllon nickers" are on deck
ngnln this year. Lice the poor , "wo always
have them with us , " nnd this year their most
outspoken organs openly declare that the
gratlflcalion of personal mallco is , with them ,
of moro Importance than republican succors.
They would rather see the party defeated
this fall than have Ilosowator "crack the
party whip. " Now , the Times Is not built
that way. ft considers the welfare of the
republican party to bo of immeasurably more
importance than the personal success or
"vindication" of any ono man or set of men.
What wo need this year is unity In the party
and If wo don't have U if this Kilkenny cat
light Is kept up nnd encouraged by the rule
or ruin element defeat will again stare us In
the face next November.

nnd a great man fallen this day In Israel ! "
This was the language of David nt Iho

through the heart of the king , who attended
the funeral in person and tried lo impress
upon his court nnd his subjects thai n wide

so willing n worker , that ho tried to Impress
his own sorrow upon the minds of ull others

"prince nnd n grent man , " not bei-nuso roynl

of his ronl merit nnd Ins true worth , for "lo

his usefulness that made him "a great man. "
This instance In the text , with others ot
similar import , under the broad seal of in
spiration , together with thu custom of our
lines in sitnllur oasot , elves us the warrant
or paying n modest tribute of rojpeut to the
memory of Mr. Augustus Ivountzo.
If men ara "prince * mid great men" only
In proportion to their good deeds nnd their
useful lives , then nro wo proporlv assembled
to recount some of the characteristics of the
departed for our Imitation to gnm now In
spiration for llfo's great batllo. Mr. Au-
custus Kountzo died ut his homo in New
York City April DO , 1SL' ! , in the ( iilth year of
his ngo. It was Saturday nt 4 o'clock the
hour la whluh the Inborer prepares to quit
bis toil and return to his botnn for rest so
ulso did our departed Iriond roach the Sat
urday evening of life , ut the close of the duv
nnd the uloso of the week nnd the close of
the month , to spend the May day in the
Sabbath of rest that remains for the people
otGod.
Ills Illrtli und Kiirly I.lf , . .
Ho was born und raised at the village of
Osnabui-R , In Stark county. Ohio , nnd was
the oldest of n largo family of children. The
father was n merchant , and Augustus , being
the llrst born , was trained in the store
whilst ho was but n uoy , und there received
under his father's tuition that accuracy of
business hnbituucl that llnancial penetration
of thought that characterized Ins whole Hfo
and madu his career such u brilliant success.
Much of his usefulness was the result of
early training. Tbo foundation of his business -
ness llfp as well ns his rsllgious Hfo was
laid in the training ho received
at that village homo under the
guidance and instruction of that
fatbur and mother , in honor of whoso mem
ory this church has been called "Kountzo
Memorial Lutheran Church. " Is it any
wonder that such homo training , both in
tinauciol matters and in Christian culture i
and example , should bind this family to
gether wilh tics of broiheily interests and
affection long after thu parents huvo de
parted t
As other members of the family grow into
usefulness In the store , Augustus ventured
out Into life's arena to br.ttlo for himself.
Ho located in Muscatine. la. , nnd em
barked in tbo renl o.itato business.
Believing- that thnro were fair lauds
further west , ho arrived , in April , lS"iO ,
in Omaha , then n frontier vlllune , uud "un
Indian trading point. " He caught the spirit
of tbo west , which bo retained until death.
Ho dealt somuwlmt in lots and lands , but his
chief dolro wns to establish u solid unit per
manent banking business. IIo made every
effort subservient to this lixod object , and
allowed no vicisiludo to divert , him from bis
unrposo .In an humble cottage on "Forest
hill" ho lived , whuro yonder beautiful man
sion now crowns the summit , with his sister
iu charge of the primitive homo comforts.
Wo hesitate to looic back to these days , for
few at the present time can appreciate the
sacrifices and privations of the early settlors.
At the northwest corner of Twelfth nnd
Faranm strooU , where the iron bunk now
stands , in a small , one-storv frame building
be commenced nnd established the banking
business under tbo title of Kountvo Brothers ,
a title that has lasted lor more than a third
of a coutury and is familiarly known in the
financial circles of the nation lo iho present
day. Thu First National oank of our city ,
the Colorado National bank nt Denver , nnil
tbo banking house of Kpuntzo Brothers at
120 Broadway , New York , nro the develop
ment nnd Iho outgrowth of the small beginning -
ginning made by iho departed nt the corner
of Twelfth and Furuam about thirly-flvo
years nco.
Ills .Iliinliooil mill I.ir Work.
I need not follow out any further the finau-
olnlsuoco ! iof Mr. Augustus Kountto ttolud
his reverses and discouragements llkootl.rt
men , but bo illd not nllow them to thwnrt
hl purposes or depress his spirits , ticr.t
courngod others oven when ho foil but iiieht
encouragement for himself. Ho hnd learned
not to grieve over losses ; nnd not to tount
all lost that wns In danger. Ho wns cleat
hcndod , fnrslghlod and full of re ourcos in
every oniorgonuy. At times hu coined nol
to know when ho was worsted ; and opposl
lion seemed only to lire Ins ambition and re
double hit energy. With his full stuiro of
the HIM and downs of oxporloiico , with
reverses nnd advances ho has com
pleted a useful and well rounded life.
Ills death brings to these who know him
well , nnd especially to the early Keillors of
thlt community , the souse of a MIOCK of n
personal bereavement. It was this fooling
lhal called so many of our citizens logclhet
In publlo assembly a low days ngo to pay
their trlbulo of respect to his memory nnd
adopt resolutions of sympathy and condo
lence to liii Immediate rolatlvcs. U Is thnl
same fooling of bercnvcmonl and duty Hint
has brought us hero this morning , bv twain-
llou of the church council , to pay our ro-
spool to hU worth and his memory In tint
memorial service.
This church and congrogntlon , which bo
wns largely instrumental lu ostnullshlu ? , of
which ho was a faithful member to the
day of his death ( for ho never withdrew tin
membership from this communion during
Iho twenty voars of his absence from this
city ) can notliolp but foci that a benevolent
and faithful brother has been called from out
number , and wo are hero to mourn his do-
pnrturo.
To this point wo will return again Lot
us notice a low of the characteristics of the
man whoso departure wo deplore. Mr.
ICountro wns notably a solf-mado man. Hu
had a good common school education , but ho
hnd no diploma , as a souvenir of cci'ogo '
training , or an Introduction to lltcrarv cir
cles. Hut remember , Unit while hu bud
not the advantages of the schools ,
thai groal lack was compensated for in
a largo monsuro by the extraordinary
endowments with which God bad gifted htm.
IIo was n man of few books , but ho road
them woil. lie teen a deep interest In the
education of othora. Ho was ono of the
founders of our high school his name upon
Die slops of yonder temple of learning - a
member of dilTeronl college boards and n
liberal and generous contributor to the up-
building und malnluunnco of educational In
stitutions. 'I ho bible was bin principal text
book. Ho never doubted its divine authority
and used it as his rule of faith and practice.
Ho was glflod wllh rcmnrknhlo tact , wltli
piercing acumen , with wonderful oudurniico
mid uullrlng perseverance. Ho possessed
whut might ho culled nunagoinoiit to n
duurco bevoud thu lot of common men.
Ho wns honest In his dealings , nnd thereby
'
be gained the contldonco of othor.-i ; lie wu's
friendly und Ihorobv attracted with almost
magnetic power. Ho was publio spirited ,
Inking an Interest in anything that promised
to promote the general welfare of thocity. tlia
county nnd the stato. On all occasions when
the public interests demanded hU counsel ,
his influence or his personal efforts , they
were not withhold. Ho was always ready to
work In any position In which ho was placed ,
und oflou ut the sucrillco of his own personal
comfort , so as to achieve iho blRhosl good lethe
the groalcst number. His willingness lode
do , and his unyielding porslsluiico
invhntcvor ho undertook , made him
n loader in public enterprises , whom nil full
.safe to follow. In iho development of our
public institutions , as well as in plans for
their establishment , ho took a conspicuous
part , oflon nl iho cost of inonoy nnd labor ,
winch the mass of our populace fail lo np-
pracialo , nnd seldom glvo the credit duo to
the men who founded them. As the bricks
or stone that form the foundation of these
.stately odlllcos uro under ground and buried
out of sight , mui only the superstructure is
brought to view , so also the early botllor.s of
any city or state who c ml uro ibe.toll , nmku
thu a.icrillcou , do I ha work , und
lay the foundation for fulurJ do
volopmunts aru often lost sight of by
tliosu who nro made prosperous and happy

these who hnvo gone boforfi. Tbo footnrlnis
of these who llrsl marlc out the pathway are
covered un und buried under iho umlliludo
ut stop * tbat follow lu Ibolr wake. Ho who
helps to found a city in solid worth has not
lived in vain.
Wiirk * Tliut Not cr Die.
Ho who lives to make prosperity to others
possible has lived to a purpose. vVhcti n
worthy man dies ho should not soon bo for
gotten. The memory of a good mini Is a
Heritage : bis lito nn exnmplo to his genera

remains unlllled , tno urn i or is laid aside ,
the duties nro suspended. Hut. soon the
armor is tuuonup , ihod-ulios nrc assumed by
others , nnd the place is llllod by some ono of
iho coining genoraliou which RO closely ful
lows. There is a short halt In the work und
ihon it goes on again , but it Is made easier
for these who follow by the vantage gained
in thu plain and labors of these who wunt
before. Some men originate , others uerform.
It is given to some to murk the outlines and
to others lo till 111 Iho details. As n rnlo the
