WOODRUFF, Editor and publisher. Fill DAY APRIL 18, 181)0. NOT SPECIALLY HILARIOUS, Our esteemed contemporary, the Trib une, figuratively speaking, has not bee n wearing its customary smile of late. It apparently is not in a particularly heavenly mood over our new city affairs. Its love for the old dyuasty has not been super seded by love for the new organization. The truth is, it has been kind of out of sorts ever si ten the inaugural exercises, which was made quite manifest by its sev eral little editorial comments in last Wednesday's issue. Last evening it rehashed its " tale of WOB " on the salaries proposed to be given to the new city officials, and is really pathetic. It is thought that some of the readers of the Tribune wept, cs pec ally those who ran the machine in the borough of Johustown and have been placed amongst the haca numbers. When the salary of the Burgess of Johnstown was raised from nothing to S6OO a year there was no wailing, and the Tribune re mained as mdd as a sucking dove. It is not the salaries alone, however, that is troubling the Tribune, but everything connected with the new city appears lo meet its disapproval. We are afraid it is becoming a chronic grow ler. Ever since the new oiliuers were sworn in it lias been finding fault, as a reference to some of Us sayings will show. Speaking of the inauguration demon strations it said, " it was neither succe.-s --ful nor magnificent, except in a narrow, bigoted, Democratic sense. It otherwise was a botch in its inception and execu tion." Rather a severe reflection on somebody. And, as to the salary ques tin i it seems lo have lost all paticnci wall the idea of quid pro quo compensa tions. Replying lo an item in the Allooua 'Jribune in its discussion of Altoona finances, it ungraciously said, " DoubK ti.e salaries of your cily officials even if you haven't any finances, and are receiv ing tin gilts of the cuaritable alt over the world on account of your iinpecuniusity." Whew, how the fur files! Not being able to ,-ue "what the stu pidity, or bigotry, or jealously of the managers of the inauguration ceremonies lias to do with the City Government," u slaps the new organization in the luce t>> saying "itwill go on, and, that 100, in a most extraordinary manner;" and iuti I mates that what it culls the " gobliug in augurated by the present City officials," will he attended with "further extrava gance, if nut corruption ; " saying, '• they have shown their hands and characters very early in the game." This is the bit terness of gall. Finally, it took revenge on Mr. John Gruber, Councilman trom the Xlth ward, by an intuit ndo in the shape of what t characterizes as a "connecting link be tween him and Rose." It then took its farewell of saitl Gruber by surrouuding his nirnie with four large, black, ominous lines, such as newspapers use in putting their papers in mourning. Does that mean political death, or what ? The condition ot the [ribune just now is deplorable, bui after the new city is put in running order, and spring opens out and the weather becomes warm and balmy, our contemporary's spirits will re vive, and be " may be happy yet, you bet." SAMUEL JACKstiN HAMULI. In the death of Samuel Jackson Run dall at Ins modest home in Washington City 011 Sunday morning the countrt bus lost its ablest statesman an I the Demo cratic party its greatest Ka Ur. No man since the days of Jeifrrsou and Tildcn combined such essential elements of leadership, lie did more to keep the Democratic party together during the past twenty-tive years, and more to re store it to power than all those combined who have bum reading him out of the fold. His integrity, ability, and courage commanded the respect and admiration of iiis political opponents as well as of his friends. No man ever served in either branch of Congress that had more fully the confidence of the people. Although otheis who had performed little for their party in comparison to this true nud tried statesman had taken bis place disappointment did not embitter or unnerve him. lie stood conspicuous amongst the statesmen of the country. He could look around, to the last, with complacency, behind with pride, and to the future without fear. Waked up Effectually.

How They Looked at the Meg inning of the SeTentien and How They Look Now. Heroes of the Forum, the Study, the Stage ami the frontier. When milled years bring added honor, and when the crown of silver hair is a crown indeed, it must delight the aged sage or statesman, as well as the man of affairs, to look hack to the days when the first triumph was scored in life's battle, and lo recall again the blood tingling ex ultation with which the first shout of popular approval fell upon young man hood's eager ear. The laurel may have wreathed the brow amid the shock of battle, the plaudits of the theatre or the calm repose of the library, but the time, the circumstances, the surroundings, can never be forgotten. The years go by. There are other struggles and greater tri umphs, hut none so sweet as that first success. And as the progress of time indicates the approach of the end of things earthly, the new generation bows in reverence before embodied worth, and delights to pass in review the deeds which have raised the objects of their admiration from the plane of mediocrity to the heights of fame. There are many men who have sus tained through years of labor the prom ise of their youth and won both honor and fortune by the trained use of excep tional talents. To display and illustrate the upward progress of a few among the many, and to indicate where they stand now and where they stood a score of years ago. is the object of this article. William Maxwell Evarts had already achieved ami nence in 1870. As the leading 'jlUfffifa counsel for Pres ident Johnson in / Aaßj#' the i m peach- l -Jy Mp ment trial, and jf-i JTWF< later as attorney ;/ t general of the United St a tes, his name came . prominently he fore the people about that time, and as a lawyer a i if and a politician ' he has held a WILLIAM M. EVARTS. . ... , „ high place evei after. Since then lie has played many parts on life's stage. In 187!? ho was counsel for the United States in the tribunal of arbitration on the Alabama claims at Geneva. Ho next attracted public interest when he appeared as leading legal advisor to Henry Ward Beecher in the suit brought against the celebrated divine by Theo dore Tilton. He also argued tho Repub lican side of the electoral case before the commission, and when Mr. Hayes suc ceeded to the presidency Mr. Gvurts be came secretary of state. Now, at the age of 72. he is United States senator from New York. Small in stature and apparently feeble, ho still possesses tre mendous mental energy, and is as elo quent as in the days when he pleaded the great causes that made him famous. He might almost be called the Warwick of the States, for he saved Andrew Johnson from impeachment and secured Hayes in the title to his seat. As noted above, both those presidents rewarded him amply. Tommaso Salvini, the Italian tragedian, is younger than at least three of the men mentioned here. He entered on his Cist year Jan. 1, 1890, contented with the laurels he has gained, and willing, from the repose of private life, to watch the onward progress of his handsome and clever son. Twenty years ago Signor Sal vini was driving the Madrilese wild with SZ233S&K enthusiasm over his ,/ acting. It is recorded TtWioH that at that time AVI / jsj his delineation of •' "i\/ the death of Con- / X/ rad in "I-a Morte Civile" produced TOMMASO SALVINI. such an impression that the easily roused audience rushed upon the stage to ascer tain whether the deatli was actual or fic titious. Salvini lias been a soldier as well as an actor. In 1849 lie entered the army of Italian independence, ant 1 fought valiantly for the defense of his country. After the proclamation of peace he re turned to the stage, with which lie had been connected from childhood, and made steady progress in public favor. In 1865, at Florence, the sixth centenary of Dante's birthday was celebrated by the production of "Francesca di Rimini," a tragedy founded on an episode in the "Divina Com media," and Italy's four greatest actors filled the leading roles. One of these was Salvini, the other three being Rossi, Majeroni and Mine. Ristori. Salvini first visited America in 1874, and his artistic methods are familiar to the American theatre goer. He is a man of courteous manners, magnificent physique and distinguished appearance. William F. Cody enjoys a reputation not at all in touch witli that earned by the celebrities with whom lie is grouped. While Evarts was expounding the law, Holmes writing graceful verse,Danaguid ing public opinion and Salvini dominat ing the stage, Buffalo Bill was < ut on the American frontier fighting the Indians and aiding to make the country safe for civilization and the farmer. It is a little more than twenty years ago—in the spring of 1808, to he exact—that Cody won liia spurs. He was already a noted man, tUPh about 85 years of age, and wore his title of Buffalo Bill because of his un equaled devastation among the Ameri can bison, but on the occasion referred to he rose above the level of the ordinary plainsman and Indian fighter. From his headquarters at Hays City Gen. Sheridan sent Cody as guide and ggrfK- j. scout to Capt. v Parker at Fort next three days, as the lieorer of twee ll those f< >i-111 tsF^^b-at^v'- of covering 355 NF7 s j miles i n fifty- t.jjjffiN.'; Jm | eight hours, 35if >*■' (§ ~ miles being on foot.

The self sacrificing spirit and marvelous endur ance of Buffalo Bill made so great an impression on Gen. Sheridan that he called the scout to his headquarters and said: "Cody, I appoint you chief of soouts of the command." The writer, when on the frontier, after the Custer massacre, saw an instance of Cody's nerve. A scouting party was riding among the foothills of the Wind River mountains, in Montana. While going through a small defile from its sides came the crack of rifles. Every one seemed paralyzed but Buffalo Bill. "It's death to run; there's a chance in fighting," lie cried. "Up with you, boys." And he led the way. A dozen Indians composed the ambuscade. They were "good" Indians when the skirmish ended. The whites lost one man. While in the government service Cody did gallant work until the year subse quent to the Custer massacre saw the hostile Indians subdued. He was long the idol of the frontier, and the enthusi astic cowboys of the Platte elected him to the Nebraska legislature. At present he is displaying his handsome figure and his Wild West show to the nations of Europe. He is a man whom the judg ment of future historians wril rank with Daniel Boone and Kit Carson as a bul wark of the border. About two decades ago Charles Ander son Dana began to insist that The New York Sun should shine for all, and to enunciate his yk '"an assaults K# the English Vu language, T'.itefMWSaw. shoot him on Wi-l wESk SOV " e,lty odd - vef "' B Mr - D:i still keeping guard over t lie purily of his native tongue.

From 1817 to 1801 he was connected with the management of The New York Tribune, and during those years also joined with Mr. George ltipley in editing the "American Cyclopredia,' l of sixteen volumes. Mr. Dana has, in addition, been a com piler of choice poetry, the biographer of Gen. Grant, assistant secretary of wai during Mr. Lincoln's administration and the publisher of a Chicago paper which never rallie 1 from the shock of the great fire of 1871. A tireless worker, the pos sessor of a vigorous stylo and a Rtrong personality, he is a man who would at tract attention anywhere, and surely does not fail to do so when he mounts the steps of The Sun office to go to his "den."

He is still a welcome guest at re unions and banquets, and his recent ut terances in prose and verse show 110 fall ing off of grace and power. They are tinged with the mellow charity and not the melancholy of old age. Fiucn C. DAYTON. THE TAULBEE-KINCAID AFFRAY. Both I'urtlra to the .Affair Native KenliH'h iunrt I'ntifce of the Ounrrl. Ex-Congressman Taulbee is from the mountain districts of Kentucky. News paper Correspondent Charles E. Kincaid is also a native of the Blue Grass state. KINCAID. TAULBEK. The affray between the two occurred recently in the Capitol building, at Washington, and was the culmination of a quarrel of long standing, which began nearly two years ago with the publica tion in The Louisville Times of an ar ticle reflecting on Mr. Taulbee's charac ter. The ex-congressman has lieen for some while a notable figure at Washing ton. Tall, strong and possessed of a powerful voice, his physical attributes always gained him recognition by the speaker whenever he chose to express his views on any measure pending, which was not seldom. He began man hood life as a student for the ministry, but abandoned the church for the court house, and became a lawyer. He is a lawyer, 89 years of age, and first came under general notice when elected to congress some years ago. Charles E. Kincaid is 85 years old, of slight build, and, when the troubleculuiinated in the shooting, was just recovering from an attack of typhoid fever. After leaving college, and when only of age, he was chosen magistrate of a Kentucky village, and thus acquired a right to the title of judge. He has held several positions of public trust and emolument, and is at present the Washington correspondent of The Louisville Times. He lias tra veled a great deal, is a society favorite, and comes of excellent family. THE BREAD THE QUEEN EATS. It In Ma<(t by a Polish llxlle umt< S*rwo .rh.lVr nature 1 decline.
