A SON'S TRIBUTE..

It becomee the painful duty of the editor of THE JOUBNAL to announce the death of his venerable father, Hugh B. McCain, which occurred at Westfield, Hamilton county, laBt Friday night, February 17, at the advanced ago of 80 years and 19 days. The wife of his youth with whom he had walked for nearly fifty-six years, and five of their nine children still survive. All bat ore daughter, living in Kansas, were at hiB bedside when he passed through the gates to that "undiscovered country." For more than sixty years he had been a church communicant and during all that time he had endeavored to follow in the footsteps of his Master. Although not free from the errors subject to humanity he fought the good fight and kept the faith. When the summons came, dreadful to all but him, serenely he laid down

the burden of life and passed through

the shadow of the valley. With a calm confidence in that sure reward that Bwaited him, he folded up the book of life and bound it with the golden clasp of faith in a glorious immortality. Time speeds us each with swift and tireless flight toward the land of shadows and forgetfulness. Men seldom- think of the great event of death until the

shadows fall across their own pathway, benevolent, penal and reformatory instihiding from their eyes the faces of loved •nes whose smile was the sunlight of the Democracy in twain.

Whatever may be said or thought of us when life's transient gether" remains to be seen, day is o'er, may it be our lot, as it was sumed, however, his of whom we now write, to leave be- Democratic fight hind the heritage of a good name, the pared to a cat fight, which generally relegacy of a life well spent. To his children and his friends he is no more. Nothing is left but his memory and his example. May they cherish the one and emulate the other.

PENSION ''SECTIONALISM.'' In the debate on the pension bill, says the New York Press, Representative Pyjkler, of South Dakota, called the attentioh of the Southern soldier haters who were denouncing the pension laws to a few figures which rather surprised thore individuals. Soldier haters, both Southern and Northern, have been in the habit of proclaiming loudly thbt pension legislation is earnestly sectional and that the money disbursed in pension payments was expended almost altogether in the North. From the report of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue Mr. Pickler obtained the respective amounts of internal revenue, the only form of taxation paid directly to the national government derived from the several StateB. He compared these with the amounts of pensions which go to the various States. Texas paid $306,375 of internal taxes into the federal Treasury daring the past fiscal year and drew out in pensions $905,230. Illinois, on the other hand, a Northern State, paid $36,795,338 of the internal tax and drew out only $9,343,996 in the form of pensions to her citizens. South Carolina, the implacable foe of Union veterans, paid only, $71,812 of the tax and drew in pensions $171,126, while New York paid $17,670,978 and received only $11, 762,390. Tennessee contributed $1,278,862 and received $2,434,508 Nebraska and the two DakotaB paid $4,898,588 and received $3,391,059. Alabama's tax was $106,771. Her pension receipts were $400,729.°* Arkansas contributed $95,718.86 to the internal revenue, and received $1,470,903.77 in pension payments. West Virginia paid $807,588.36 in internal revenue taxe9 and received $2,158,703.12 in pensions. Louisiana and Mississippi paid together $734,832.20 and received|$847, 552.45 Maryland, Delaware and the District of Columbia paid $3,288,873.77 in taxes and received $4,220, 890.13 in pensions. It thus appears that the Southern States profit by whatever of sectionalism there is in the pension laws. If the Northern States receive more in the aggregate they also bear more than their share of the burden. In view of these facte, it is not only unpatriotic, but supremely impudent, in Southern Democrats to as- THE weeds muBt be out now along all sail the North for paying uionev out of highways by the road supervisors acits own pocket to keep the heroeB who °°rding to a bill which has passed the preserved the the almshouse

THE Supreme Court, when Judge Jackson takes his place, will consist of three Democrats and six Republicans, as it has for several years past. One Democrat, Field, who is 77 years of age, and

are likely to have their places vacated, from one cause of other, during Cleveland's term. These are the only members of the court who will reach the age of 70 during the next four years. If two Democrats are appointed in the places of Field and Blatchford, and if there be no other vacancies to fill, the court will contain four Democrats and five Republicans when Cleveland steps down.

IF THE ladies of Crawfordsville really do not want to wear the frightful hoopskirt, as all ladies protest they do not, they should speak out in a public way against it and thus encourage each other to stand together. Every organization of women, such as the Athenian, the Musical Ameteurs, the Canterbury Club, the Roman's Relief Corns, Acorn Band, Mothers' Club, The Art Club, The Dorcas Society, and all missionary societies should adopt resolutions con demning the unsightly, unhealthful crinoline, and requesting our merchants not to offer them for sale. If the women are in earnest let them be practical.

THE failure of the Wyoming Legislature to elect a Senator compels the Governor to appoint one, who will hold his seat until the Legislature meet" two years hence. The appointee will be a Democrat. This will give the Democrats forty-five members in the Senate of the Fifty-third Congress, or enough to put them in control of that

of that body without Popu]ist aid( for

the next two years at least. Two States—Montana and Washington— have still to choose Senators, and the Democrats have thus a chance to secure one more member.

THE House has passed the Senate bill to restore to the Governor the power to appoint the trustees of the

tutions. This was the rook that split

sults in more oats. If, however, the fight will result in giving to the State a fair apportionment bill it will have its compensations.

PBESIDENT-ELECT CLEVELAND and his family will travel in imperial splendor to Washington. Apartments have been engaged at the Arlington Hotel and are to be paid for at the rate of $475 a day. He is to sip his coffee from a cup once used by Napolean Bonaparte, while his wife will use knife, fork and spoon once belonging to Empress Eugenia. Shades of Jeffersonia simplicity! Such aping of Kings and potentates will make the third President turn over in his grave.

SOME of the few Democratic editors who are on the Bound money side ure trying to make themselves believe that their party in the next Congress will respect the proclamation of hostility to the Sherman law which appeared in their national platform, and which the same party rejected or dodged in the present Congress. The cheerful idiocy of these editors makes the country smile.

THE annexation of Hawaii will bring us Bome new problems, of course, yet none of them will hardly be as serious or humiliating as the Populist problem But that problem, thanks to the lunacy of the leaders of that brood in Kansas, will soon be effectively and permanently solved.

THE Governor has permitted the McHugh bill, extending the terms of city officers, to become a law without

signature. The Governor should have had the nerve either to have signed it or placed his veto on it.

THE Toledo Blade says that Gen. Lew Wallace is nothing if not picturesque. He says the appointment of Gresham is "like putting live coals and boiling oil on the bald head of the Democratic party."

THE House has engrossed the bill providing for the establishment of a State Soldiers' Home in Tippecanoe county. The amount of the appropriation agreed upon is $55,000. This action is to be commended.

GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION.

Important Report Sent to Congress by the Director of the Allot. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—The director of the mint has transmitted to congress a report on the production of precious metals, covering the calendaryear 1S92. A synopsis follows:

The value of the gold product from the mines of the United States was approximately 433,000,000, about corresponding lo the average product of recent years. The product of silver from our own mines is placed, at 58,000,0Ht ounces, of the commercial value, at Uio average price of silver during the year, ol 150,750,000, and of the coining value in silver dollars of J74,989.900. This is a falling off of 330,000 ounccs from the product of the preceding year. The amount of silver purchased by the government during the year under the mandatory provisions ot the act of July 14, 1890, was 54,129,827 fine ounces, costing $47,294,891, an average of 87H cents per fine ounce. From this silver 6,333,215 silver dollars were coined during the year.

The imports of gold aggregated $18,165.056, and the exports 976,735,592, a net loss of gold of 553,670.53ti. The silver imports aggregated 531,450,808, and exports $37,541,301, an excess of silver exports of 46,090,333.

The director reviews the recent movements of gold from the United States commencing May, 1888. During the lilst year, that is from February 19, 1892, when the last movement commenced, to February 15, 1893, the export of gold from the port of New York has aggregated 190,728,839.

The total metallic stock January 1, 1893, was estimated to have been: Gold, S6-19,7t8,020 sil ver, 1593,365,265 total, tl,243,153,385. The stock of gold in the United States fell off duriDg the last calendar year *39,000,000, while the stock of silver increased $46,000,000.

The amount of money in circulation, exelu sive of the amount in the treasury, was $1,611, 321,753 January 1, 1893, an increase of #18,928,124 during the year.

There was an increase of over 112,1X10,000 in the gold product, of the world during the last calendar year. Of this increase 82,50J,000 was from Australia and over 19,000,000 from South Africa.

The total silver product of t'no world increased daring the last calendar year about 7,650,000 ounces, occasioned chiefly by an increase of 4,600,000 ounces in the product of Mexican mines and 2,400,000 in the product of the mines of America.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.

The American Delecutes Make Tlielr Heport to the President. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—The president has sent to the senate the report of the American delegates to the international monetary conference held at Brussels, beginning November 22, 1802, acoompanied by a translation of the proceedings and an appendix consisting of a series of documents relating to the monetary laws and monetary situation of the various countries.

After citing copiously from speeches made, the text of the recess resolution is given. From these proceedings, the delegates say, it will be seen that the conference is to reconvene on the 30th of May, 1893. In the meantime it is expected that the propositions and plans already submitted and such others as may be submitted to the president of the convention, and by him transmitted to the several governments through their delegates, will be considered. It is anticipated that the delegates, upon the reassembling of the conference, will be able to state definitely the view of their respective governments as to what plans are practicable to secure the greater use of silver as a part of the metallic money of the world.

SEIZES fOR ITBMS.

In order to obtain all the news, to stimulate correspondents and to advertise its business THE JOURNAL Company has adopted a rather unique plan. Every week THE JOURNAL will give to that person furnishing the best news item a handsomely bound book by some standard author. These contests are open to everyone, including THE JOURNAL'S regular correspondents. In case no item of any importance should be submitted during a week, the prize shall go Lo the correspondent writing the best letter. By "best lbtter" we mean not the longest letter, but the most important and newsy one. Items and letters should be left at or mailed to THE JOURNAL office, but never to reach the office later than Thursday afternoon for publication the same week for the WEEKLY JOURNAL goes to press Friday. News received after Thursday will be entered in the next week's contest. Articles or facts for contest should be labeled "prize" and should contain the writer's name and address. They may be written ready for publication or the mere facts may be given disconnectedly to be shaped at THE JOURNAL office. The winner of the week's prize will be announced each issue, but not the item furnished.

By "news items" we mean matter of the following or similar nature: Accounts of church revivals, accounts of meetings of organizations for political or other purposes of general interest, crop reports, accounts of fox drives, death and wedding notices, business ventures and failures, any murder or well defined attempt at murder, fires, robberies, fatal or severe accidents, suicides and attempts at suicide, damages by storm, elopements, etc., etc. Don't send anything which cannot be proved or which cannot be read at the family circle. In case two persons tend the same item the one whose work is first secured shall have the precedence. THE JOURNAL has published pamphlets for the guidance of correspondents. These will be furnished on application. The first prize will be awarded in the week endind March 4. The plan is an experiment and will be perpetuated if successful. The items and letters will be judged by a person not connected with the office and unacquainted with any of the correspondents.
