It was decided unanimously at the
meeting of the National Demooratio
Committee at Washington, last week,
that too .National Democratic Uonveu

5th day of Jane next.
In response to the idiotic express

in his retiring from office he left no
suspicion that five hundred dollars dur

taken from tho pnbllo fnnds. Nor has

Hill's Tribute to the President-
The Kings county, ft. Y., Demo.
cratio club gave a dinner in Brooklyn
recently in commemoration of tbe
birtlidav of Samuel J. Tilden. Gov
ernor Hill, in the oourse of his eulogy
on Mr. Tilden, said: "While the Ue
mooraoy were very reluctant to part
wUh-Tridou's active leadership, they
proceeded to select a new standard
bearer for tbe campaign of 1884 from
this state, to whom publio attention
had already been favorably direoted.
After nearlv three years of successful
administration of publio affairs it is
safe to, assert that tbe Democraoy and
tbe people ot tbe county made no mis-
take in their choice. I cheerfully re
iterate what I said in suhstanoe about
a year ago in this samo place, that the
administration of President Cleveland
has. been dignified, conservative, hon
est, and. in the main satisfactory to tbe
people of the country. There may be
differences among the Democrats as to
tbo details relating to the party man
agemenl and as to the entire manage.
of some matters attempted, and as to
tbe details ot some measures proposed
but snob, differences among friends are
inevitablo everywhere in government
politics and society in general."
This will be rather set back to the
Republican nowsDauers which have
been busily occupied, in getting up an
anti-Cleveland movement in the Domo
cratio party, with David B. Hill a? its
leader. Jx.
The News From China-
San Francisco, February 25. The

Kong and Yokohama to day. China
papers announce the death of Gideon
Nye, United States Vico Consul at
Canton. He was the oldest foreign
resident in China, having been there
since 1833. He amassod a fortune of
about $0,000,000 aud afterwards lost
it all. At tbe time of his death he was
writing a history of China's relations
with foreign powers.

A few additional details are given
of the seoond disaster on the Yellow

resulted in the drowning of three man

laborers. The men were at work
trie time repairing the damage caused
by tbe previous Hoods and two thou
sand bamboo rafts had been laden witb
stones in order to form a breakwater,
' but the rafts witb all the people on
them were engulfed as soon as they
reached the middle ot tbe river.
Great suffering is reported from the
Hooded districts. Cold weather came

WABMNQT0R LETTER
Prom our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington. D. O.. Feb. 87, 1888.
Tho tlmo for tho meeting of tho
Demooratio nominating convention be
ing Uxod on Juno 5th, makes it two
weeks beforo tbe HoLlican convention
meet. This dato was not agreed up
on without n struggle, for thero is an
element in tho party, which though
small and rapidly diminishing, still be
lieves in waiting for tho Rebubllcans
to mako tho issue. The majority of
tbo party however, think thai tbo issuo
has already been fully Bet forth by the
l'reBidonts message to Congress nnd
that no other platform is needed to
mako tho fight on.
1 bis is tho nggrrssivo clement, thof e
who carry the eleotions i and tho pres
ent aggri'Fsivo condition of tho party
will rouso their enthusiasm to an un
usual pitch, will make them think of
tho many national victories won by
tho party in niito-bcllura days. Tho
selection of tho great metropolis of the
Southwest, St. Louis, as tho place of
meeting was the very best tbat oould
have been made.
Tbo further the Government mint
ing office investigation goes tho better
it shows tor tbo demooratio manage
ment of Mr. Benedict. He has saved
tho Government already over $200,000
and at the same time done more work
than has ever been dono in tho samf
length of time in the history of the
office.
Q'lito a number of republican papers
have been foolish enough to charge
Pension Commissioner Black with hav
ing shown favoritism in allowing the
amounts of pensions to soldiers living
in democratic states. A table has
been issued by the Pension Office,
showing the average pension paid each
soldier in caoh State and Territory. It
shows that the largest average amounts
are paid to soldiers who aro residents
of the States and Territories which
have always given republican maion-
ties. Bring in another republican
canard.
Tho worst sqnelohed man in thf
Hon so is Mr. Boutelle of Maine, the
gentleman who recently got rampant
over the proposition to return tbe
captured Confederate battle flags to
their original owners, and who wanted
tho Seoretary of War to furnish the
House with a detailed statement of
everything ho knew about these flag-.
That statement bos reached the House.
That is what squelched Buutelle. It
contained more information than he
wanted. It showed that tbe demoorat
io administration bad taken much
better caro of tho flags than the renub
.. ... . - . -.
ucans ever did, and lurlber that not a
confederate flag, with one exception,
and tbat was loaned to bo returned,
bad ever left the possession of the War
Department under this administration.
Tbe negotiation of the Fisheries
treaty would alone of itself be a suf
ficient reason for the people to keep
the Government in ihe hands of the
democratic party. The subject covered
by tbe treaty bas been a constant
source of worry to this country for
more than a bundred years, and many
attempts have been made at settlement
but mnu so favorable to this country as
tno present treaty.

DEATH OK A UNION VETERAN WITH
ROMANTIC HISTORY.
A special from Findlav. Ohio, savs :
Dr. D. May, who died in this citv Fri-
day morning, was a man who bod even
a more remarkable experience than
lennysons Lnooh Arden. Ho was
practicing physician in Fairfield county
tbUState, prior to the war of the Re
bellion, aud had a wife and two chil
dren whom he left in 1861, to join the
Union army. Ho was with Rosenorans
at atone river, and on tho second dav
of the engagement was taken prisoner
anu sent to Anuersonville. xsot mauy
months afterward tho report rt ached
his wifo and children that he "was dead.
and they mourned him accordingly for
a year or more, when hia wife marriod
again. In the meantime Dr. May was
exchanged, and tho Arar being over,

Columbus ho accidentally heard for the

urei mini uiui no nau long oecn con
sidered dead and that his wife was
again married and living happily with
ber seoond husband, who was also tak
ing excellent care of the children of
tho first mamago. Here is where
May's heroism cams in. Stifling the
feeling of the husband and father, be
determined that no would not disturb
tne oxitiig relation of things. H
purohaed a tioket for the far WeH
and for fifteen years buried lilraself
among the wild soenes of the border,
where he remalnod until his wife died,
in blissful ignorance of tbo fact that
her first husband was yet among the
living. Upon tho death of his wife
Dr. May returned to Ohio and made
himself known to his children, one of
whom, a daughter, now living near
Tillin, has been at his bedside ever
since his serious illness began, and
ministered to him until tho hour of
death. Dr. May was a resident ol this
city for many wars and was well
known all over Ohio.

V. 17. Jesus was now Eolng unto Jerusalem
from Galilee to celebrate the Passover. lie
was going. It was his own voluntary act.
His enemies would not hare reached him
had he chosen to bide hlnuelt from them.
But h was going, and going with the full
knowledge of all that awaited bim there.
Out why wore they amatedl Was there not
something especially striking: in his manner
and appearance! Bome almost transforming
influence about bun. Was it not the per
vading consciousness ot what was before him,
and tho shining forth of an inwanl resolu
tion not to be turned aside from the )ath On
wblcb be baa entered! Was It not lust tbo
"I hare sot my face like a flint," of which
Isaiah spealcsl
v. is. Having called bis disciples round
him, be began to tell them of the real pur
pose and meaning ot his going up to Jerusa
lem. Twice before had be told thorn. Thi
tint occasion was that of Peter's elortous
confession, the second was that of hit trans
figuration, and this was tbe third, at it was
also tbe fullest. And how exact it was. "The
Bon ot Man shall be betrayed," and bars was
the work of Judas. "And shall condemn
him to death," and bare was the work at the
bouse ot Annas and Calphaa. And here was
the limit ot their work ; they had no power to
put to death.
v. iv. this rouows of oourse. Thelr
bloodr Durnoas must be carried out In
themselves they bad no power, for the
Homan bad deprived them ot tbat in view of
their well known turbulency. Therefore
they must "deliver him to the Gentile, who,
in this case, are represented by Pilate, the
Roman governor. And what will tker dot
They shall "mock, and scourge, and crucify
mm." Ana men comes in tne glorious words,
"Tbe third day he shall rise again." How
wonderful the contrast the two sides of this
statement ! Between man's estimate of Jesus
of rfaiareth oa the one side and the Lord's on
the other. The mocking and the scourging,
the purple robe, the reed scepter, the crown
ot thorns and the cross here and tbe rising
irom me "aeaa uere." un tne one side, the
place, between two thieves as one with thwn
in guilt and punishment and a seat on the
Father's throne on the other. It it the ever
lasting contrast concerning him who Is set
lor "a sign that snail be spoken against,"
Bat as clearly as tbe light we tea In than
words:
1. The voluntariness ot bis sacrifice.
3. His perfect foreknowledge of all that
was before him.
V. 20,21. How harsh is this discord! How
utterly without sympathy with him these two
disciples and nalome, their mother, seem to
have bean! ltight in the midst of our Lord's
discourse about bis approaching sufferings
and death they thrust their ambitious crav
ings for tne bleu placet in bis earthlr king
dom; Salome, their mother, seems to hare
been the speaker bare. . But the two brethren
were beyond doubt in full accord with ber.
It waa to them the open way to earthly dis
tinction and power. All through Ms ministry
and after bis resurrection they bad no other
Idea about it than of a kingdom that should
break the Roman yoke and restore the ancient
glories of David's throne. Tbe last question
they asked of their Lord just before his as
cension was; "Wilt thou at this time re
store the kingdom to braeir And it was
only under the enlightening influence of the
spirit that they saw the truth about it. His
kingdom was "not of this world." It was
not formed or carried on as earthly king
doms are. Greatness in it was not the result
of wealth and power and state. They were
then utterly in the dark about it.
V. 22. How profound the pity that moved
tbe Saviour's breast as be looked on his mis
guided disciples and said: "Ye know not
what ya ask l" The first places in his king
dom, oh I did they think ot this as they re
ceived the distinction that afterward
awaited them! Did James think of it as
second in "the noble army of martyrs he fell
btneath the sword ot Herod! Did John think
of it in the loneliness of hit banishment to
to the "isle that is called Patmos
for the testimony ot Josusf ' Did it come as
a gleam ot saddening remembrance over him
as he wrote: "Love not the world, neither
the things that are in the world!'' "The cup
that I shall drink of' is, of course, his suffer
ings and death.
V. 23. Two points of interest are set before
us in this verse, i. e. i
1. Their fellowship in bis sufferings and
2. The correction of their mistake.
At to (1). There future Ures lay as an open
book before him. Ho saw tbe turbulent
times of Herod's persecution, and the stroke
of his descending sword as the bead of James
fell before it. He saw John la his lonely
exile, and we may well imagine the deep ten
derness of tone with which he said: "Ye shall
indeed drink of my cup." Then follows
(2). The Italicised words, " thall be given
to thote," were supplied by the translators,
and, of course, there are no corresponding
words in the original. Our Lord did not
speak them, and they entirely change the
meaning ot his utterance to the two disci
ples. What be said waa: "To sit on my
right hand and on my left, is not mine to
giro, but for whom it is prepared of my
father, no dispenses the gift of eternal life.
And ever' one that receives It receives it at
his hand.
V. 24-28. Tbe indignation of the ten against
their two fellow disciples scorns to have boea
natural enough. It seemed to tbem that the
two brethren were set on gaining the best
places in tbe kingdom for themselves. And
they were angry, just at we would hare been
in their position. It was too favorable an
opportunity to pass unimproved. And so
Josus called them to hlru and administered
a rebuke, full ot tenderness and power, re
vealing, too, the entire scope and spirit of
his kingdom. Tbe princes of the Ountiles
ruled with absolute power. But it could not
be so in his kingdom. In it, tcrvlco was tbe
badge of 'royalty. Service for his sake.
Berviceto the least and the lowliest. For
if be Lord ot the universe come "not to
bo ministered unto, but to minister and to
give bis lifearansonfor 'many," surely his
followers must win pre-eminence in tin same
Wit-forgetful woy.

great medicinal value. ITood'e Sarsaparilla

the digestion, and gives strength to every
organ of the body. It cures the most severe
cases ot Scrofula, Salt Itbeum, Bolls, Pimples,
and all other affections caused by Impure
blooa, Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Ileadache,
Kidney and Liver Complaints, Catarrh, Itheu
matlim, and that extreme tired feeling.
" Uood's Sariaparilla bas helped me more
for catarrh and impure blood than anything
else I ever used." A. Ball, Syracuse, N. Y,

E. M. HALE, Lima, Ohio.
