THE DEATH OF DANA. Probably no American has lived a life more replete wi:h effort and incident than that of Charles Anderson Dana, particularly fatuous as the editor of the New York Sun. His death removes the last representative of a great group of editors. Dana is always thought of as the companion in point of genJus of such men as Greeley, Prentice and McCullagh, and yet he was so distinctly superior to them as to occupy a place by himself at the very top of the journalism of this century.

Dana died an old man. He was born at Hinsdale, N. H., August 8, 1819, and his entire life has been remarkable for its energy. He was a searcher for truth of all sorts, ransacking the world and a large part of the whole realm of knowledge in his quest for Information* His mind never seemed to lose Its receptive capacity. He could learn languages up to the very hour of his death, performing feats of memorization that would appall the average youth. It is recognised as an attribute of the human mind that it hardens with age and becomes a positive rather than a negative quantity, but this hardening process appears never to have taken place in the case of this extraordinary nan. His faculties were peculiar in that sever losing their absorptive power they still attained to great decision and fineness and -were at once notable for their negative and ttteir positive qualities.

It must be said that Dana had his weaknesses and that they were, so to speak, strong weaknesses. His prejudices were like id he would act upon them with a pas

sion and persistence unexcelled. His editorial policy seemed to spring wholly from the council chamber of his personal feeling. It is not of record that he cared especially for parties or-for the material interests of the paper over which he presided. He was master of the Sun in all its departments and he ran that newspaper as he saw fit, regardless of every external circumstance or consideration such might have had weight in the deliberations of a different man.

All the bluntness of Dana is reproduced in the Sun. Its accuracy, conservatism and force of statement are his. He was a lover of Latin and Greek^ as well as of languages in general, but he wanted that in the English language the Anglo-Saxon^ element should predominated Big words there were In the Sun, words built out of the fragments of foreign tongues, but wherever they were used their composite character was necessary to the composite idea involved. The tone of the Sun from the first page to the last is Anglo-Saxon. The reporters have drawn 1 unto themselves somewhat of the great editor's style and the consequence is that in Dana's journal the news is clothed in the simplest, clearest and most compact English that ths writer can command. 'f.

It was no thought of Dana's that erudite language is the object of erudition. He did not believe in a college education because IL gives its possessor a certain acquaintance with the dead classics and enables him to make more or less use of them. He favored higher learning because It gives to man the power to see truth and to record it as it is. He once said in a signed article that he would prefer to have a Latin and Greek man to report a ball game for him because the presumption would be that such a man would not blunder at any stage of the undertaking. The great editor was full of recondite knowledge himself, but he did not allow it to interfere with his severe simplicity of speech.

In all respects he was a man of dominating individuality—of powerful mind and resistless will. It can be said of him, as it could be of few other journalists in 'this country, that his death is a distinct national loss.

INDECENT ZEAL OF REFORMERS. The zeal sometimes manifested by wouldbe reformers is not always characterized by the strictest sense of propriety. An instance immediately occurring is in point.

Some days ago the secretary of the treasury asked the attorney general to construe for him a certain section of the civil service law, in order that it might be determined whether United States marshals and collectors of internal revenue had the right to dismiss deputies and fill their places without asking the civil service commission for an eligible list, remarks the Washington Post. Such an opinion, the news columns tell us, has been prepared by one of the assistant attorney generals, and. upholds the right of dismissal, although the final approval of the attorney general has not yet been afHxed. At this interesting stage of the proceedings the "officials of the Civil Service League," whoever they may be, have interjected themselves, and yesterday appeared before the attorney general "in an effort to convince him that deputy revenue officials are entitled to the full protection of the law."

We will be pardoned, we hope, if we'express the opinion that this action of the Civil Service League is a bit of officious meddling. Upon what ground and upon what theory did the members of the league request to be heard in this matter and what excuse could^ they offer for Interfering between two cabinet officers? As we understand the matter, the secretary of the treasury called upon the attorney general for an opinion upon a question of administrative detail. What right have outsiders to seek to influence this opinion? In fact, what business have they to know that such an opinion is in course of pfeparation. The question concerns two cabinet officers alone, and these self-constituted custodians of the civil service law and of the administration now executing it have no right to be in evidence. They have no official status. Their assumption of the right to interfere is gross impropriety and a transcendent piece of impertinence. The attorney general would have been amply justified in refusing the hearing.

The Post, for one, can trust the head of the department of justice and his capable subordinates to honestly and impartially construe any. law. If there is any protection to be guaranteed, these officials will be certain to see that it is not made abortive through technicalities or partisan feeling. They do not need the interfering efforts of the officials of the Civil Service League to direct them in the right path. Law is law. and the department of justice will construe it and the treasury department will execute it, and this, too, without the unasked and unnecessary appearance' of the "officials of the Civil Service League" upon the scene.

WILLIAM MILLARD A DEFAULTER.

He is Short in HLs Accounts from 20,000 to $35,000.

Peoria, 111., Oct. 18.—William Millard, for two years preceding July 1st collector of special assessments for the city of Peoria, is a defaulter in an amount anywhere from $20,000 to $35,000. John D. Messier, the city comptroller, and John McAllister, an epert bookkeeper in the engineer's office have been going over to the books, but it will be several days before they are prepared to submit, their final report. L. J. Leiben3tein, present collector, thinks that the shortage -will aggregate more than $20,000 at the present time, with several pages of the books yet to be examined.

Mr. Millard, when confronted with the facts admitted that he was a defaulter and endeavored to throw the b'.ame on his dead father. No steps have yet been taken to prosecute him and his bondsmen will make good the shortage as soon as the exact amount is determined. Mr. Millard has for several years been known as a high liver, and, although the fees of the office amounted to about $8,000 for the two years, this was not sufficient. It is supposed a large proportion of the money was spent in gambling, although at this time the defaulter makes no explanation.

A DOCTOR FROM INDIA.

Will Try to Restore Mr. Rouss' Eyesight and Get $1,000,000. New York, Oct. 18.—A mysterious stranger Dr. Guelph Norman, a physician from faraway India, has traveled more than h.-Uf way around the earth to try to restore sight to the blind eyes of the multi-millionaire, Chrales B. Rouss. The doctor arrived shortly after 11 o'clock yesterday and remained with Rouss hardly half an hour. The actual treatment consumed but fifteen minutes.

Mr. Rouss reclined in a big easy chair in his private office and the long, weird-look-ing doctor from India began operations by feeling his pulse. Then he looked upward and uttered what sounded like a prayer. The doctor gazed earnestly into his patient's) eyes and proceeded to rub a colorless liquid over the lids and temples with mysterious motions. He stroked the back of the head. Each motion was timid.

When the doctor' ^treatment was over Mr.

Rouss could see the doctor's hand, enough, to tell what it was when held twelve inches from his eyes. At fourteen inches the millionaire could only tell that there was some sort of an object before him. Dr. Norman says he will restore to the eyes of his patient within four weeks, and, although he has been tit work for several days the fact was not generally known.

The fact that Rouss offers |1,000,000 or more to be able to see as otlfer folks do reached Dr. Norman in bis home In India. He is an Englishman, but has lived in India for many years. He is not an M. D., according to medical ideas, but he claims to be skilled in the arts of optical cures, which are almost as old as civilization, and tha one now employed on Mr. Rouss is said to date back as? far as the Vedas, the book, of sacred and heroic writings, embracing the ancient philosophy of the Aryans.

After the operation had been performed Dr. Norman explained his work as the Ayurvedic or Iddhivldhanana treatment, but would not go into details. He said he could have cured the millionaire just as well from his home in Burmah, but denied that there was any faith used in his treatment. He told of curing a woman in India, and said that it was she who heard of Mr. Rouss' offer of $1,000,000 for the return of his eight and suggested that he should come to America, and, If successful, the fee would be sufficient for both cures.

Mr. Rouss says he has faith in the .treatment but will not give up one cent until sight is entirely restored.

MISS SANFORD'S BIG ESTATE.

He entered the navy from New York state in June, 1861, and prior to his appointment as surgeon general was a medical director with the relative rank of captain, and was on duty at the Naval Museum of Hygiene in this city.

Horrible Deed of a Drunken Negro. Fond Du Lac, Wis., Oct. 17.—John Beaman, aged 50, proprietor of the Beamon house was murdered this morning by Wm. Payne, colored, in the presence of several white men in the hotel bar. Payne was drunk and talking loud and flourishing a razor. H-£ said he was going to kill some one. ^te followed Beaman behind tbe bar, forced him against the wall, caught him by the whiskers and with the words, "This is the way I'll do it," brandished his razor and before any one suspected any serious intention c,ut Beatnan's throat from ear to ear. Payne escaped during the excitement Several hundred men organized in squads and are scotif»ing the country. Thousands of men ajr|i crowding the streets and the murderer will undoubtedly be lynched.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Columbus Dispatch: The Republican manfe*gCrs in Ohio seem to recognize that the cities are their danger points in this campaign an£ so have been earnestly working to bring harmony out of the somewhat chaotic conditions in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Toledo. There are Indications, too. that these efforts are meeting with success.

Pittsburg Dispatch: While the alien ownership of farms is not a satisfactory feature, the fact is that it does not include 2 per cent, of the arable lands is the United States, while, except in the Southern states, where the relics of the slave-holding era are still found in the land system, over 80 per cant of the farms— and practically all those producing wheatare cultivated by the owners. The assertidn that foreign land-holders get the benefit of the wheat rise is, therefore, the product of a cheap and silly imagination.

Philadelphia Press: II will be noticed the rescurer of Miss Cisneros tried at first to bribe the alcalde and jailers, but they wanted too much. This is so characteristic of Spanish officialdom that no one need hesitate to believe it. In fact the stories of bribing and the bribed, of cheating and the cheated make up the national humor of Spain, and both affect and reflect the manners and the morals of the people. The most disappointed people In Havana today are doubtless those officials who failed to agree to the price the friends of Miss Cisneros were willing to pay for her escape. They evidently did not understand that Americans act quickly and do not haggle.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The Republican party, in its canvass in Virginia, will have to fight several enemies. One of these is the Democratic party, another 1b the state laws which are ingeniously devised to keep the Democrats in power, no matter how great the majority may be which is rolled up against them, and another is the members of the Republican state committee who opposed the project of putting a Republican ticket In the field at all. These are heavy odds which the courageous Virginia Republicans face, but they have the sympathy of the party throughout the country. The course of the majority of th«. state commkee in advising the party to surrender to the Democrat" was cowardly and treasonable. No defeat could hurt the Republicans«so much as would this policy of seli-effacement.

Chicago Times-Herald: The hue and cry raised bv the New York Herald, the New York World and the other newspapers against, the sale of the Union Pacific railway under the arrangement first made by the Cleveland administration and recently sanctioned by At* torney General McKenna, by whatever motive prompted. Is as unreasonable as It is belated. They urge nothing againet the sale that was not known and considered by the iateadciinistration and which was not brought, both directly and Indirectly, to the attention of congress. When the proceedings to toreclose the first mortgage were begun in thf United States court the position of the government as the second lien holder was gravely considered by the department of justice. Years ago congress had deliberately postponed the government's lien to one giving a first lien on the road to a new mortgage, and conse*quently when this mortgage fell due and was foreclosed what was the government to do? In such cases among private parties the tecond lien holder either takeB up the first mortgage. or bids the property In ai the sale, or endeavors to have a bid made that will ae far as possible cover his iien also.

Contest of Her

Relatives Have Begun Will.

San Francisco, Oct. 18.—The will of the late Josephine L. Sanford, spinster, Is to be contested. It was filed on September 20th last, and proved to be a somewhat curious document, as the old lady left all her property to people in no way related to her, and expressly disinherited members of her family. A nephew, Charles E. Sanford, who arrived from New York last week, filed the papers in a suit to have the will set aside and an administrator appointed and to have the estate distributed to the heirs at law. The estate is valued ft between $350,000 and $400,000.

Miss Sanford died September 12th of this year. Eight days later the will was filed by two of the executors and devisees under it. Almost all the property consists of a ranch in Contra Costa county, knOwn as the Los Meganos ranch. Under the will this was to be divided as follows: One-fourth to Andrew S. Mosely, one-fourth to Dr. Ellin wood, one-eight to Attorney Thomas I. Bergin, one-eighth to Prof. George Davidson and the remaining one-fourth to be held in trust by these four gentlemen for the benefit'of two relatives who are not heirs.

The complaint alleges that Miss Sanford was not of sound mind, and the disposition of her estate was due to undue influence.. The heirs who will claim a share of the estate are the plaintiff, John Edward Sanford, Mary Elizabeth Robinson and Asa M. Sanford, all nephews and nieces.

TRACY IS GIVEN A LIFT

GENERAL HARRISON TALKS STRONG. rOR HM OLD FRIISXD.

Intimates That He May Take Band la y- the right ana Tokefc ft Sby at Low.

-j'New York, Oct. 18.—Murat Halstead has made public the details of a conversation wit£ former President Harrisoh on the political situation in Greater New-York.

Mr. Halstead's account of,the interview ia us follows: '.'fho general was asked whether he had been much interested in the remarkable Mayoralty canvass which has agitated the city since he has been here, and he said: "Yes, I hate been -watching the campaign

In New York with increasing Interest I have read the papers, some of my old personal and political friends who are supporting Mr. Low have labored with me, and I with them when they called. If I do not get out of town soon I am afraid I shall find myself in the melee. There have been some speeches reported in the papers and some things said to me that even a Hooeier friend of General Tracy has a right I think, to resent." "What is that you thing even a Hoosier friend should resent?" was asked.|||g "There is not one of the supporters of Mr. Low," said General Harrison, "with whom 1 have talked who has not extolled General Tracy—his ability, his high character, his great public services—some further have said, with Mr. Low, 'General Tracy is my friend.' Now this praise and those professions of friendship, do not consist with the charge that if General Tracy is elected the real mayor will be found in the senate chamber at Washington." "Do you interpret Mr. Low's remark as very offensive? He seemed to regard it quite inncoent."

TRACY HIS OWN MA*?

"He is a weak man if another could control his official action without his knowing It," was the reply, "and he is not a good man if he would knowingly surrender to another a high trust confided to him by the people. It is, therefore, equivalent to saying that General Tracy is a fool or a knave —and the man who says that ought not in the same breath to call himself General Tracy's friend. The mayor will be found in the mayor's office if General Tracy is elected quite as surely as if Mr. Low is elected." "There is gfeat force in the suggestion that ordinarily a city election ought to turn upon questions of city administration. But there are national questions that will not be ignored. The men who Voted for Mckinley in 1896—whether Republicans or gold democrats—will not fail to inquire how the candidates for mayor of Greater New York Stand upon the question whether public or private debts are to be paid at 40 cents on the dollar, and whether the just pOwera of the courts are to be upheld against the assaults of the mob. They will want to know whether a particular election is going to scatter or weaken the froces that won those issues in 1896. New York's mayor, they will think, ought not to be a repudiations or a friend of the mob." "As to Mr. Low's attitude on national questions—do you hold that it is doubtful?"

LOW'S FINANCIAL BELIEFS. "If there was any doubt in t'le public mind as to how Mr. Low stands upoD these national issues he would very quickly declare himself in his canvass—though they -are not, as his friends say, city issues. If he had not been known as a supporter of the

St. Louis platform upon this question he would not have been nomimt'id, and if his adherence to that platform were now in doubt his supporters among the businessmen of New York would fall away from hiiti. So that after all Is said this test would te applied by all men who stand by the public faith and commercial integrity to the candidates for mayor." "Your judgment, then, is that thti grrtt Issue is unavoidable in the great city—the St. Louis platform is and must be an issue'"

"Yes," he answered, "it Is folly t3 say ||hat It is not an issue, and that the busint-rs-men of this Greater New York flre not to

!t*ke

account of the influence the election may have in the further fight that is to te made before the advocates of repudiation .and disorder are dispersed. Good local purposes of management ire no the worse •for being associated with good national pyroses and measures. Business-men have not orgotten that the Republican party met /these grave and threatening Usues looiiy— ^nd offered a rallying point to tbe Democrats, when they had been overwhelmed in their own convention. What bos the Republican party done since to forfeit the confidence of those who voted its ticket in 1S96?

CITIZENS' UNION IS CRITICISED. "How has it deserved tr.e contemptuous refusal of its invitation to aii the opponents of Tammany and Bryaa'sni to confer with a view to union? No other proftered alliance has been rejected by the Citizens' Union, sof ar as I, know. The enemy that threatened our honor, our prosperity, and even our peace is keeping Its organization intact and it is no time to 'smash' or to divide the only party that can be relied upon to confront and rout them again." "What do you think of the issues of the campaign as they seem to be before the people?" "As to matters ot city taxation improvements, street franchises, and ether things that are strictly local I do not sea that any distinct issue is presented betweea General Tracy and Mr. Low." "What of the elimination of lo.vii affairs from national politic^?"- was asked. "What of the rights and dutien of business mea of New Yo.-k under th«33 circumstances7*' "The business-men of New York have 4 right to make •'ure that the issue of lh city contest is not sue* as 10 weaken cr disorganize the sound moan forces throughout the country. It is not a time for the conservative forces to fall opart."

NEW ANAESTHETIC.

Eucaine Tried With. Astonishing Results In a Surgical Operation.

Jamestown, N. D.f Oct. 18.—Eucaine, a new anaesthetic which is prepared from a South American plant, has been tried with astonishing results at the st&te asylum for the insane in this city. With this latest discovery local Insensibility can be produced, leaving the remainder of the body In Its normal state. The test was the amputation of the lower third of the right leg of a man 6S years old without the use of either chloroform or ether, followed by the rapid and painless healing of the stump. The disease which necessitated the removal of the leg was the death of the bones of the foot and ankle and of the leg immediately above the latter, causing inflammation and sloughing of the softer parts, fever and general prostration being attendant upon the absorption ot poisonous materials by the circulation.

As much of the eucaine was put into two or three tablespoonfuls of water as the water would dissolve, and with a hyperdermic syringe a few drops of the solution were injected under t9ie skin. About an inch from the center of the injection another was made and then another, until the limb was girdled by them at the place where it was Intended tg amputate. After waiting fire mikutes to

allow of the superficial tissues becoming Insensible, the needle was thrust deeply into the muscles and further injections were made. In a few minutes all that portion of the leg, including three or four inches above and below the ring of injections, was found to be destitute of feelibfe and the operation of cutting off the limb was proceeded with exactly as if the patient were under chloroform. When the deeper tissues were cut into a alight smarting sensation was experienced a few times by the patient. Thls was immediately relieved toy the application of a little more of the solution directly to the seat of the discomfort. No other pain was experienced.

The operation was performed in the forenoon, and in an hour after the dressing of the stump the patient was sitting up in bed eating dinner. At the end of nine days the dressings were reffloVed, the Btitches taken out, and th stump was found to be entirely healed. The patient's general health has much improved since the operation.

Murdered By Italian Cot*l Miners Marion, 111., Oct. 17.-^31x Italian miners were laned in Jail here tonight charged with the murder of John Young, Jr., an American miner aged 23 years, of CartersVlle, late last night: Young, who had spent the early part of the night drinking, was on his way home accompanied by a friend. When near the house of George Columbo, an Italian, who, with & gang of Italians were drinking beer, Young's friend flred his pistol in the air and ran off. Immediately a mob of the Italians ran out and pounced upon Young, knocked him down, kicked him and stabbed him in the back, the cut producing death in a few minutes. He lived long enough to tell that he was cut by Tony Bernards,, who escaped. The city m&rshal of Cartersville arrested George Coltimbo, Carlo Columbo, Lonl Colonla, John Jaravaglla, Vincent Romenas and Joseph Belogl for the crime.
