"HENRY W. GRADY."

Dr. H. A. Tucker was greeted by large andienoe Sunday night at the Methodist church to listen to hie lecture on the late Henry W. Grady, the brilliant editor of the Atlanta Constitution. The lecture was one of the Doctor's best efforts, and the address was such as to charm and electrify an audience. For an hour he dwelt on the genius, the scholarship, and the Christian manhood of the dead journalist and portrayed in glowing colors his efforts toward reconciling the two sections of our common country. He held him ^up before his audience as an example for young men. He referred to two speeches delivered by Mr. Grady, one in New York and the other in Boston, both of which abounded in patriotic sentiments and which found a responsive echo in every heart throughout the North. The Doctor omitted to mention the many speeches that he delivered in the South, the most notable of which was one made on the «occasion of the visit of Jefferson Davis •to Atlanta, On that eventful day the streets on the line of march'were strewn with flowers, and the Chief Conspirator

twalked

from his oarriage to the stand

ion a floral pathway. Henry W. Grady Tvas the orator chosen for the occasion. Of course his address was a most brilliant philhpic, in the course of which 'he referred to the day as "the most "glorious sinoe the resurrection of Jesus /Christ." Such was Henry W. Grady. It may be said of him that he was a brilliant, impulsive genius. As the Doctor Baid last night, he understood human nature. He knew the Becret of swaying his audiences. The art he used to perfection. In New York and Boston his encomiums were upon Linooln and Grant. He made a plea for reconciliation and he held in his hand the olive branch from the "New South." This, of course, was electrical. In Atlanta it was an eulogy on Jefferson Davis, a person who refused to be "reconciled," and "a man without a country." He glorified the "Lost Cause" and magnified the principles at stake. This, too, was electrical in that seotion. Henry W. Grady, meteor-like, shot athwart the country from Georgia to New England, and then disappeared. Brilliant geniuses, like him, generally die young.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel says if anything has been clearly demonstrated by post-innuguration events in Indiana if that the Democrats of this State are not spoilsmen. And this does not appear in the funny column, but in the first sentence of a heavy editorial probably writ ten either by spoilsman Morss or spoilsman Dunn.

THE I. D. & W. Railroad WILTJ tiOlU yesterday at receiver's £sale to the C. H. & D. Company which will in the future operate the line. The road was bought in for $2,410,000. It. B. F. Peirce has had the active management of the road since 1887 and will be retained by the new owners.

EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON will begin his course of lectures on international law at the Stanford University next October. Every first class lawyer in the land will read these lectures with pleasure and profit.

THE foreign attendance at the World's Fair will be reasonably large, no doubt but the success of the enterprise depends mainly upon home patronage, as is always true of home undertakings. S

CLEVELAND has not won much credit by the appointments that he has made but he merits a considerable degree of praiBe for those thai he has refrained from making. xi

CLEVELAND is evidently 3aving a large share of the patronage to be employed in weakening the backbone of the free coinage element in Congress.

FOREIGN investors would be glad to bay tjQited States, bonds in any quantity at par and that is one of the bett reasons why nooe should be sold.

THE great task of the Democrats is to make the country believe that a restoration of the sugar daty means reduc tion of the tariff.

THE most profitless use to which a man can put himself nowadays is that of being a Populist.

OUR currency is somewhat diverse and complex, but all of it will be kept at par with gold.

THE PENSION SCARE-

The pensioners on the rolls of the Indiana agency are exercised over the newspaper reports that the list will likely be diminished within the next few weeks. The office of Pension Agent Ensley of Indianapolis is flooded with inquiries from pensioners as to what the government proposed to [do. Mr. Ensley has not received any official notice that names are to be dropped from the rolls. During three days of. last week he has received notice to suspend payment of but one case, pending the consideration of a movement to reduce the list. The suspension is under the ruling of Assistant Secretary Bussey, made Jan. 17, 1893, that the pensioner must have at least one disability. The ruling of Secretary Bussey is as follows: "The basis of rates under the act of June 27, 1890, is inability to earn a support by reason of incapacity for manual labor due to disability not the result of vicious habits. Schedule or nominal rates will not be added together to make up a rate tinker said act, but the rate will be based on the combined effect of all the causes involved upon the applicant's capacity for manual labor" While there is no doubt that there will be a general onslaught on the pensions of those who served in the war for the suppression of the rebellion it will not be made under the ruling quoted above. If only one oases can be found in a list of 77,000 it shows that there is a rejnarkably small number of persons receiving pensions not entitled to receive them and those who may be dropped under the ruling above referred to will not be dropped on account of fraud, but simply because the Department will not compound "nominal rateB" to make up a rate equal to the minimum rate (_$(! per month) prescribed by the act of June 27,1890. It will be observed that the ruling does not relate to pensions granted under the old law. It is simply a construction placed upon rates under the new law, and in cases only in which the combined effects of all the causes do not amount to a real incapacity from performing manual labor. For instance, if a soldier has based a claim or is drawing upon the loss of a finger for which the nominal rate is $2 per month, and upon loss of a toe 82 per month, and small varicocele $2, these "nominal rates" combined would amount to $6 per month, but the "combined effects" of all these not amounting to a disability, or incapacity from manual labor equal to $6 per month, the soldier would not be entitled to rating under the act of June 27. 1890.

THE New York Press Bays it cannot too often be repeated that the one interest which above all others suffers under free trade is that of farming. Yet the result of last fall's election was mainly due to the success which attended Democratic efforts to persuade farmers that the free trade policy would especially benefit them. The world has before its eyes to-day a striking example of how fatal that policy is to agricultural prosperity. It is furnished by the ote country where free trade has had the fullest opportunity to work out its natural results. The loss to British agriculture in the past ten years, according to the Quarterly lievieiv, aggregates §4,000,000,000. The value of farming land in this country under protection has increased in the same time more than $3,000,000,000.

THE tariff smashers have already encountered snags which will probably spring numerous leaks before they can land their free trade craft. Senator Brice is interested in a numberj of tin plate factories both in Ohio and Indiana and has expressed his opposition to a repeal of the duty on that product. He recognizes the fact that the abolition of the duty on tin plate plates means their destruction. The repeal of the sugar bounty will be opposed by the Louisiana Senators and the Nebraska PopulistDemocratic Senator. Free iron ore will be opposed by the Tennesee Senators, free coal by the Maryland and Virginia Senators, and free rice bj the South Carolina Senators. It makes all the difference whose protection ox is gored.

THE Grand Army Encampment fund now umountB to $18,022. As Indianapolis refuses out side help it would appear that a good many of the subscribers must double their subscriptions if they expect to reach the $50,000 mark. However, we have full faith in the men at thd head of the management and believe that they know what they are doing. li

MUNCIE figures out a population of 19,000 from the enumeration of school children. The enumeration shows 4,750 children. On a basis of four to a family will make the 19,000 which she chtims. Crawfordeville has 3,200 children aid figuring on the same basis would give us a population of 12,809. A basis three to a family would be nearer tl mark in both cities.

AN EXCESS OF IMPORTS.

One of the stock arguments of the Democrats against the McKinlpy tariff law, both before and after its enactment, tfas that it was prohibitory in iu character and that it would put a stop to all importations. The old sterotj ped argu7 ment of the free trader was put to good use, that if we cannot sell we cannot buy. We ate now within eixt days of the end of the fiscal year and the record ehowb that we shall have imported during the year about $950,000,000 worth of foreign goods. Our importations have never before reached the $950,000,000 line, but now they will pass it before the end of the year. The largest amount of importations in any preced ing fiscal year was in 1891, when they amounted to $854,519,579. Last year they were $813,601,345. Prior to 1891 they never reached as the $800,000,000 line. Our sales abroad this year will amount to about $800,000,000. It will thus be seen that under the much de nounced McKinley law our importations will exceed our exportations by $150, 000,000. These figures show that the McKinley law reduced the tariff much more than it increased it. It shows also that instead of any further reductions in tariff duties there should be an increase. Even with an increase of duties it wonld then be only on a revenue basis. jfc Jif:

THE people of Boston have just made an investigation of the Bay State Gas Co., which supplies the city with light, and several facts have been brought to light, viz: 1. That the company's property was worth but $4,000,000, yet it had been capitalized at $17,000,000 and the public compelled to pay dividends on the latter amount. 2. That while the price of gas charged to consumers by the monopoly was $1.30 a thousand, its actual cost of manufacture in 1891 was 41 cents a thousand and in 1892 but 32 cents. 3. That the State gas commission, appointed to protect the people against gas companies' extortions and compel them to observe the laws, had utterly failed to do its duty, but had laid itself open to the grave suspicion of intentionally protecting the companies in their abuses. Any other conclusion than for the city to own the plants would be most "lame and impotent." ...

THE disgusting spectacle of carting the remains of Jeff Davis along the route from New Orleans to Richmond will soon begin, with numerous wakes held by the Southern brethren to testify their appieciation of the deceased advocate of the last cause. Mr. Davis has been dead several years and the tatk of honoring his festering remains must be highly diverting. It can be safely said that none but Democrats wi!l participate in this disgusting spectacle.

A GEORGIA editorial poet expresses the universal sentiment of the country in these lines: "Backward, turn backward, O time, in thy flight give us July again, just for one night give us mosquitoes and give us the fiies, but Uxrn on some' heat before everyone dies! Bring back our straw hats and good linen pants give us a chance to live, give us a chance!"

CAPT. D. F. ALLEN, of Frankfort, has been appointed State Tax Commissioner by Governor Matthews.. Capt. Allen was a prominent candidate for Pension Agent for Indiana, but he reached the conclusion after Gil Shanklin's experience that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

D. C. GREINER, postmaster at Terre Haute, has been removed on charges of offensive partisanship. A. H. Dunham, the Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee of Vigo county, has been appointed to succeed him. Oil course the appointee is an inoffensive partisan.

THE Daily Record, the new two-cent morning paper at Indianapolis, has made its appearance. It is not large but it has room to grow. Typographically it is a beauty, and it is as full of news as an egg is of meat. It bears every evidence of newspaper ability at the helm.

CON CUNNINGHAM is still in Washington but his name has not appeared the newspapers for several days. As THE JOURNAL remarked several days a/o the Joey Bagstock of the Crawfordsville delegation in search of usufruct is Jim Hanna. Keep your eye on Jim.

THE city council of Richmond, Va., has appropriated $4,000 to help defray the expenses of the reinterment of Jeff Davis. This is all right, and at the reinterment they should bury the old blatherskite face down so that he can't scratch out again.

THE State Board of Agriculture has paid the last of its indebtedness on the new fair grounds and owes not a dollar. The final payment was $8,0n0 and was not due for a year, but the board concluded to

THE IDEAL NEWSPAPER.

Dr. Tucker in his address on Sunday evening incidentally gave his views on what constituted an ideal newspaper. OC course his model editor was Henry W. Grady. He referred to him, probably, because Mr. Grady was the subject of his lecture. The modal editor, the Doctor said, must haye knowledge of law, medicine, theology, political economy and, in fact, everything within the scope of hnmiin endeavor. That is a safe line to follow. Unlike most criticisms of the newspapers it is not narrow and unreasonable. The Doctor, however, was a little severe on the political newspaper by discrediting everying that appeared in its columns. The newspaper, in many respects, is similar to the minister. It depends on the point of view where one stands. It is hard for the orthodox to believe the statement of the heterodox. The orthodox avers that there is a hell for the future punishment of the wicked. The heterdox says this is not true and takes a different view of the future life. And thus it goes through all the Christian denominations. Any intelligent man can easily map out a model journal from his point of view, but,his point of view does not include the whole field. At the most, it only relates to the opinions and tendencies of a class, whereas a community is composed of many classes. If we were living in an ideal world, and had an ideal pulpit, and ideal public institutions generally we would have an ideal press. Newspapers, like the pulpit, are subject t.to existing conditions and influences, and cannot dictate the terms of their own service and prosperity. It is not' true that their faults exceed their virtues. They perform their appointed work with dili gence, discretion and a due sense of responsibility. The worst that con be Baid of them is that they are not better than the world in which [.they are published. Henry W. Grady no doubt printed a high toned newspaper, but its standard was no higher than the press generally throughout the country. Newspapers are not perfect it is true, but they only share the prevailing shortcomings of human nature and are governed by the law of environment.

THE delegate in Congress from Utah, Joseph Rawlins, has resigned and left Washington in disgust. The immediate cause of his resignation was the discourteous treatment he received at the hands of President Cleveland in connection with the appointments for the Territory. If all the Democratic Congressmen who have been snubbed by His Imperial Mojesty would resign it would greatly reduce the Bourbon majority. Favors to free silverites are few and far between.

IT is admitted by the Democratic leaders generally that the revenues of the Government cannot be greatly reduced, and that extensive reduction of duties cannot be made without imposing new duties on articles now free. They have discovered that the McKinley tariff law is harder to repeal or alter than they ever imagined.

GROVER surprised the boys yesterday when he issued an order excluding office seekers from the White House. This is a broud hint for them to pack their grips and go home.

DR. JOHN S. BILLINGS, the eminent surgeon and officer of well kaown health associations, initiates in the May Forum an important series of expert studies of the healthfulnees, sanitary condition and sanitary needs of large cities in the United States. He remarks on the interest awakened on the subject by the menace of cholera and indicates the

along which scientific sanitary reform in cities must proceed. The existing plan of lnmping the gross death rate of a whole cit, he points out, gives little really useful data and in future articles in the Forum he will analyze an original collection of vital statistics, contrast-" ing the relative healthfulnees of different quarters of large cities with each other and with other cities.
