WiLsoN, Brooklyn, New York. COL. SAMUEL Mm. JACKSON. Republican Candidate for State Treasurer, Colonel Samuel M. Jackson, the Re- publican candidate for State Treasurer, was born on a farm near Apollo, Pa.. September 24th, 1833. He was reared at his birthplace, and at the age of six teen entered the Jacksonville Academy, at Jacksonville, Indiana County, Pa., but before completing his course, the death of his father compelled him to leave school and abandon his contem- plated liberal academical education. At avery early age Colonel Jackson displayed an active interest in military affairs, and when only thirteen he was enrolled as a drummer boy in a com- pany of the State Militia, evincing in childhood those talents which were after- wards of incalculable value to his Coun- try in the hour of her sore distress. For efficient service he was promoted, step by step, until he obtained a Cap- tain’s commission, and when the dark clouds of rebellion broke in their traitor- ous wrath, Captain Jackson was one of the first to proffer his services in the great struggle to maintain one flag and a united country. He recruited Com- panv G, or the Apollo Independent Blues, of the Eleventh Pennsylvanian Reserves and was commissioned its Captain when it was mustered into service. His signal ability as a soldier could not long remain unnoticed. On July 2nd, 1861, he was made Major of his Reziment; on October 28th, he was promoted to the office of Lieutenant Colonel, and on April 10th, 1862, hardly a year after he first donned the blue, he received the sword and com- The talents of the man were so marked, his character and mission of a Colonel. bearing so distinguished, that advance- ment in the service was as steady and natural as the flow of the irresistable tide. At the head of a brave Regiment he proved himself a gallant officer, and through the whole of his three vear’s service was a conspicuous figure in all the campaigns in which his Regiment was summoned to duty. At the battles of Gaines’ Mill, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, An- tietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Wil- derness, Spottsylvania Court House, and Bethsda Church, Colonel Jackson and his Regiment showed the fighting worth of Pennsylvania blood, rendering partic- ularly distinguished service at South Mountain, Fredericksburg, and the Wilderness. At Spottsylvania he commanded his Brigade and so well and ably did he bear himself in this bat- tle that he was breveted a Brigadier Gen- eral for his gallant conduct. But it was at Gettsburg that Colonel Jackson so em- inently displaved his keenness of judg- ment, and powers of command. On the second day’s fight his Regiment, just ar- rived on the battlefield, lay in the front on the slope of Little Round Top, over- Fettysbur g looking that terrible Valley of Death { driven back. The supports sent to the | relief of the Third were fearfully broken, [ the enemy, flushed with their success. was steadily advancing with a terrible and resolute purpose to carry the hill. Moments, then, were as vital as hours, there was no time to await orders from superiors, and Colonel Jackson, quick to see and realize the danger of delav, on his own responsibility ordered his Regi- ment forward, and was at once followed Down the slope they charged, and hurling them- selves like thunderbolts on the columns of the advancing enemy, they fought them foot by foot back across the Valley of Death, regaining the entire field so nearly and irretrievably lost, At the Battle of the Wilderness he again displayed his signal ability to com- by the commands in his rear. mand. and his ready power to meet an emergency. however trying, While com- manding both his own and the Second Regiment, he suddenly found himself cut off from his Division by a strong force of the enemy. Union forces and surrounded by a con- fident foe, the situation presented but one of two alternatives—death or surrender! Thus isolated from the But Colonel Jackson had never learned how to surrender; the chance of entting his way through the enemy's lines, des- perate though it was, was promptly and bravely accepted, and at the head of his troops with an unequaled valor, they broke through the rehe! forces, and by a cirenitous route reached the Union front, where, for several hours they had been given up as lost. During three vears of active, hard service, Coloned Jackson won the con- fidence and respect of his superiors and the esteem and admiration of all within his command, and when mustered out he retured to his home and the quiet pur- suits of a business life. and more vivid the memories of liz so'- dier life, its comradeships ard past dan- cers, Colonel Jackson allied himee't with Whitworth Post No. 89. G. A. R.. of Apollo; Encampment No. 1. U.V. L,, Pittsburg, and the Pennsylvania Com- mandery of the Loyal Legion. For some time after the close of the war he was en- gaged in the oil husiness in Venango Jounty, but in 1869 he returned to his native Countv of Armstrong and was in the same year elected to State Legisla- ture, and re-elected in the following year. In this position, as in every other that Colonel Jackson has filled, both military and civil, he so won the confidence of those whom he served that, four years later, he was elected to represent the 41st Senatorial district, composed of tife Coun- ties of Armstrong and Butler, in the State Senate. At the close of his term of office he was again honored bv the offer of a renomination, which he felt compelled to decline. In 1871 he was instrumental in organ- izing the Apollo Savings Bank, of which To keep warmer he filled the responsible position. of cash- ier until April, 1882, when President Ar- thur appointed him Collector of Internal Revenue for the 23rd district. He ns- sumed the duties of this office on July 1, 1882, serving until July 1, 1885, when the first Cleveland administration came into power. In September of the same vear he was elected President of the Apollo Savings Bank, which place he has filled up to the present time. In the many positions of grave respon- sibility and trust to which Colonel Jack- son has been called, he proved himself worthy of the confidence imposed in him. As a soldier. he was, obedient and brave, as an officer. gallant and fearless; as a legislator, conscientions and wise. His private life is without spot or blemish. Those who know him best, his friends and neighbors, all speak of his affability, his kindness, his generosity and his man- liness. He is a tvpe of manhood in which the best American citizenship is exemplified. and in selecting him as a candidate for the highly responsible posi- tion of State Treasurer, the Republican party has made a wise and happy choice. To its duties he will bring a ripe experi- ence, a mature wisdom and a moral firm- ness that will insure their faithful perfor- mance, free from all criticism, and we bespeak for him from a united party a hearty and generous support. TOPICS find COMMENT, THERE is a disposition in some quarters to mistake bull-headedness for statesman- ship. Tur Ohio campaign is being made just as exciting as though the result was in doubt. Arrer his pulling Van Alen through the Senate, no one can doubt the strength of ex-Secretary Whitney's “pull.” THE son-in-law of the late Dom Pedro, by going to Brazil shows that his ambi- tion largely overbalances his good sense. Ir that Jersey idea of ‘‘organizing the Christian vote” should become popular, some politicians might find themselves hunting for a job. y | | IT is a case of ‘‘the kettle calling the from which the Third Corps had been | pot black” for either political party in New York to refer to the late State con- ventions as boss-ridden affairs, KarmsEr BiLLy is now making faces at the Berlin town council. because it had the nerve to refuse to provide at public expense a playground for his royal “*kids.” OF all the fool disputes, those that oc- cur on religion are the most useless; they convince nobody and prove nothing, ex- cept that man should control his pro- pensity to dispute. Ti man who didn’t know exactly how the yacht race would turn out has vet to be found. Those who lost money did it by betting against their judgment. What a curious animal man is, anyway. Tur politicians’ view of the Van Alen nomination was eminently practical. They said in effect to the Senate: “You turn this man down and no more big campaign contributions we'll get.

FIFTEEN thousand loaves of hread were distributed last week among unem- ployed mill workers in Philadelphia, and the war upon the protected industries still goes on.—Kansas City Journal. Meanwhile the edifying spectacle is presented of Democratic newspapers howling for tariff reduction in one col- umn, and begging subscriptions to open soup kitchens and buy bread for starving mechanics in another.—Philadelphia Press. ing diplomas, last July, to a graduating class in an Ohio city, spoke as follows: “Girls, in presenting you these diplomas, if, bv their significance you are led to al- low your mothers to do all the work. bake all the bread, sweep all the floors because you can read Latin or demon- strate a theorem in geometry, then has your school been a most unfortunate course, and in all the teachings you have ever received at my hands, I trust there has been no lesson that has weaned you from the dish pan.

RosrsoxN, of Garrett county, Md., was a very welcome caller at Tue Star office, yesterday. The squire is 1 whole-souled, first rate sort of a fel- low, but we can’t agree worth a cent on politics.

Squire Robison’s head is level, and his predic- tion of better times is no freak of the imagina- tion, but one that will be fully realized, when the Shermam law is repealed and tariff reform has gone into full force and effect.—Oakland Demo- crat, Yes, when the Sherman law is repealed, indeed! And why isn’t it repealed now? If the Sherman law is the cause of all the trouble, as the Democrats have been tell- ing us, why does not the present Demo- cratic administration go ahead and re- peal it? Ever since the panic is with us, the Democrats have been pretending to blame the Sherman law for being the cause of it, and although they have the President and a majority in both houses of Congress, yet the representatives of great unterrified Democracy” sit in the halls of Congress, week after week, in special session, and what are they do- ing? Nothing but drawing their salaries. Why do they not repeal the Sherman law? Is it because they lack a majority of the votes in both houses? No. Then why is it? Simply because the repeal of the Sherman law will not help matters much and the Democrats know it. The threatened tariff changes are the cause and the sole cause of the present panic, and knowing this, the Democrats are slow about repealing the Sherman bill, knowing that if they do repeal it, the panic will still be with us and they would then have to hunt up something else to blame it on. The Democrats are just now on a study as to whether they ought to carry out their Chicago platform and ruin the country, or whether they ought to ignore their platform and show to the country that they have no faith in their own doctrine EE nee whem
