If is the Chinese law, and not the Chinese, that will have to go.

IF you are up in Spanish yon will pronounce the Infanta's name "A-oo-lal-e-a."

ZMIRI DWIGGINS' banks, Aldine hotel schemes and national building associations are all fakes cut from the same piece of cloth.

When the railroads get their fares down to reasonable rates the people will begin to flock to Chicago. The high fares will prevent thousands from attending.

COMPTROLLER ECKLES says that a competent bank examiner should not be turned out because he is a Republican. This is enough to make the spoilsman sick at heart.

THE government crop report for the first of May predicts the shortest wheat crop this year since 1885. The States producing the greatest surplus make the most unfavorable showing.

ONE of the notable excursions to the World's Fair will be one from the South on July 23, composed of something like 1,000 old Confederate soldiers who were prisoners of war at Johnson's Island. They will go to Chicago via Sandusky, to visit the island.

A GENIUS of Posey county thus computes the expense of a day at the Chicago Fair grounds: Street car fare, ten cents admission, fifty cents milk at milk exhibit, free fresh rolls at yeast exhibit, free buttered crackers at batter exhibit, free total, sixty cents. This is the ingenuity of economy.

THE soldier hating papers while they are talking about pension reform should turn their attention to Gen. John C. Black who is drawing .$100 a month for "total disability," and at the same time is receiving $5,000 a year as an ablebodied Democratic Congressman. Why not work along this line for awhile?

"I BELIEVE that every honest soldier is as anxious that pension frauds, if they exist, shall be exposed, as we are," said Pension Commissioner Lochren. The commissioner, it is observed, uses the saving clause, "if they exist." But from the way his organs howl one would suppose every pensioner on the list was an open fraud.

THE City Council is to be congratulated on its action Monday in passing an ordinance granting a franchise for a street railway. None will regret that the syndicate represented by A. F. Ramsey will secure the franchise. Mr. Ramsey is one of our most progressive citizens. He is identified with the interests of the city and will see that her rights are preserved.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND was invited by the committee to be present at the Memsrial Day exercises at Arlington, just across the Potomac from Washington. He replied, through his private Secretary, that it would be owing to the "state of public business" as to whether or not he would attend. Last Saturday the committee called at the White House to get a definite reply. He refused to see the committee and sent word that he "hadn't time." To-day he started on

a

fishing excursion to Hog Island. Contrast this indifference or wrongiteadednesB to the tender pathos of patriotism which the day expresses to the action of President Harrison, who, on each returning Memorial Day, travels hundreds uf miles to be present and participate in the exercises of the day.

THE memory of the Union soldier mu6t not die. The cause he fought for must not be obscured or forgotten. The war for the Union was a conflict between right, and wrong, between truth and er ror. The Union soldier stood embattled on the side of right and truth. The Confederate soldier waB arrayed on the side of wrong and error. The Union cause was right, and it is right forever, The cause of the rebellion was wrong, and it is wrong forever. Right is right, and wrong is wrong to the end of the world's reckoning. The escaped corpse of the lost cause, now traveling from New Orleans to Richmond, has burst his cerements in vain. The name of JefEerBon Davis cannot live save ae the memory

of

the

loBt cauEe—a lost cause

that is lost and lost

forever.

THE WOOL MARKET.

Farmers who are selling their wool are now brought face to face with conditions which never before came within their experience. During the campaign it was dinned into the ears of wool growers by free trade speakers and newspapers that the removal of the tariff would enhanco the prices and they would realize more money from their product than they possibly could under protective duties. In the same breath they would say to the consumer that they were being robbed by the wool barons on account of the tariff. Contradictory as these statements were both the producer and consumer walked to the polls and voted for the removal of the tariff in the belief that such twaddle was sound logic. Protection speakers and newspapers exposed these fallacies but they proved to be of no avail. Now what is the present situation? The predictions of the protection speakers and writers are being verified. The Boston Herald of May 12,

free trade paper,

a

THE name of the person suggested Decoration Day is known. The story as to the Memorial Day is that received a letter from

rampant

Eays:

"Owing to the clunkers of tarill lCKisIullon before the new wool, bought at the present time, mifrhtbe disposed of, it behoves the buyer to get the new clip sis nearly down to a free woo) basis as possible."

The Philadelphia Record, another blatant free trade sheet, on the same date says: "The monetary uncertainties restrict trade but, aside from this cause of depression, there is a disposition on all sides to discount the ell'cct of future tariff chauRes. The fact that this year's wool clip may be well out of the way belore any changes in the tariff laws go into effect is apparently not considered. Manufacturers seem to think that lower prices are inevitable they cannpt be induced to buy any considerable line of new wools except at prices anywhere from 2 cents to ccnts under the asking rates."

Again on May 19 the Boston Herald quoted above, says: The wool market Is depressed. Ihere is, ia fact, almost an utter demoralization of both demand and values. It is tending to make buyers of the new clip most remarkably careful. The feeling in the trade here is very pronounced, that wool must be bought this season on a basis of free wool. The coming clip, already offering in some sections, must be bought by the dealer or the manufacturer and held six, eight or twelve mouths, as the case may he, and during that time it is pretty likely to become worth no more than the same grade of wool from abroad is worth, laid down here free ol' duty, through the effect of actual tariff legislation. For this contingency the buyer of wool in this country must prepare himself, and the trade seems to be most thoroughly aware pf this condition of affairs. In l'aet.it is explained that the prospects of tariff' agitation and reduction have struck the lightweight woolen trade at a very critical season, and manufacturers are not sanguine enough to expect much of this season. Indeed, some of them mention the shutting down of their mills until the tarill iuestion is settled, or till they are reasonably suie as to how the proposed changes are to be measured.

The Manufacturer of Philadelphia, and the Commercial Bulletin of Boston) have similar reports, but as these are protection papers it is not necessary to quote their language. The similar conclusions arrived at by these authorities, differing so widely in their point of view, are worthy of note. It is the dread of the future that makes buyers hesitate. The shadow of impending tariff changes is a substantial obstruction to business in the wool markets. As it appears to be the policy of the present administration to lower duties on wool and woolens, of course the feeling of uncertainty must continue until it is clearly understood what is to be done. In the mean time our farmers must be content to receive from 17 to 20 cents for their wool, instead of 24 to 30 cents, the prices of last year. Should the tariff be removed, as is promised, prices must come to the European level. How do our farmers like the outlook?

who first not now origin of

Gen. Chipman a comrade who

had served as a private soldier, in which the writer 6poke of the custom of his native country, Germany, assembling in the spring time and scattering flowers on the graves of the dead. He suggested that the Grand Army of the Republic inaugurate such an observance in memory of the union dead. Gen. Chipman at once acted upon the idea, and in 1868 laid the plan before Gen. Logan, who warmly approved of it, and designated May 30th for the purpose of strewing with flowers the graves of comrades who had died in defense of their country during the last rebellion, and whose bodies are lying in almost every city, village, hamlet and churchyard.

JUDGE BUSKIRK, of the Police Court, Indianapolis, has made the announcement that he will adjudge a fine of 8300 against every person found guilty of the offense of carrying concealed weapons. If every judge in Indiana would take similar action the cowardly and criminal practice of carrying pistols would soon be broken up.

THE OLD SOLDIERS.

The boys of '61-'65—where are they now? Many are sleeping in .the graves that will be decorated to-morrow. Others—boys no longer, but grayheaded men, many of them of feeble and tottering, nearly all wearing their hair in silvery gray or snowy white, will gather at these graves to do honor to the memory of the ones with whom, in the days that tried men's souls, they fought shoulder to shoulder. Each Memorial Day makes this band of heroes smaller in number, and each year adds those whose graves are garlanded. It will not be many years before the la6t survivor of the great war will rejoin the ones who died fighting for the most sacred cause for whiih man ever fought. We should honor these men while they are among us. The touch of a king's sword knights the man who receives it. These men are all knights—made so by the cause for which they fought. They waged war, not for the bright eyes of lady love or fame, as did the knights of old, but for the eternal principles of right and justice. Their sturdy blows knocked the chains from five million slaves, and broke up one of the most iniquitous systems that ever existed. By their valor was a country preserved. They left home, parents, sisters, wives and children to battle under a Southern sun for the right. They cheerfully encountered the storms of iron and lead and the deadly hail of muskets, the privations and toils of the long marches, that the country might enjoy the blessings of freedom. It is right that we should decorate the last resting places of those who gave up their lives thus in the heat of deadly combat, fell a prey to the malarious country through which they marched, or died from the diseases contracted. It is meet that we should do honor to their memory, and stand with uncovered heads in the cemeteries where soldiers are buried, for the ground is holy. But let us not the less reverence and look up to the survivors of that patriot band, who will leave to their descendants names without stain and the memory of gallant deeds. Honor the old soldier—dead or alive.

TO BE AVOIDED.

THE JOURNAL has frequently had occasion to refer to State and National building associations and to warn its readers as to their ultimate end. Apropos to what we have said concerning their character, responsibility, integrity and economy of management, the Albany Telegram has this to say:

We would not advise a money-saver or investor to be a patron of any of the building and loan associations (known as either State or National) organized in New York State or doing business here. There may be one or two of these associations that, upon a full and careful investigation, would merit confidence, but we have not the time to go hunting needles in lmystacks. We trust that the views here expressed will satis)y all inquirers. It is with disappointment, and some regret that we make this declaration. The fact that these building and loan associations do not Inspire coniidence is a disgrace to the State of New York. Some people may have confidence In a very few of the associations, but we do not share that confidence. When we do find a building and loan association of this State that we can safely endorse and vouch for, we expect that the woods will be full of white blackbirds.

The State is overrun with these institutions and some of these bright days thousands of etockholders who have been regularly paying in their good money will be left with the bag to hold. With such enormous salaries, rents and other expenses, together with a p-otnise of fabulous dividends, it is an utter impsssibility to make the scheme pan out. But there ie nothing that the American people enjoy to a higher degree than they do to be "taken in."

THE comptroller of the currency in a recent circular shows that the profit on $100,000 national bank circulation, with each of the different classes of United States bonds as security, to be as follows: Two per cents, 8344, or 0.344 per cent four per cents, 8943 94, or 0.944 per cent and

Bix

per cents,

81,642.57, or 1,643 per cent. Those persons who have been listening to the absurd mouthings of demagogues in the West as to the enormous profits of national banks will do well to cut this out and preserve it for reference.

IT is announced that Judge OldB of the Supreme Court will retire from the bench the first of June. The court now stands three Democrats and two Republicans. Upon the retirement of Judge Olds the Governor will appoint the successor, which will leave but one Republican on the bench. The Judge has formed a partnership with Charles F. Griffin and will go to Chicago to practice his profession.

THE grand ]ury of Hendricks county has returned an indictment against James C. Brown, the slayer of C. S. WeBner, charging him with murder in the first degree. This is not a bailable offense and he must therefore remain in confinement. It is not known yet whether the trial will take place at this term of court or whether it will be continued until the fall term.

MEMORIAL DAY.

What shall be said of Memorial Day The eloquence of orators has beer expended, the pathos of poetry invoked, to do it honor for these many years. It is an unique day of its kind. In all the countries on the earth there is nothing like Memorial Day in America. We have our Fourth of July. That is a patriotic occasion. It is celebrated with exuberant demonstrations, with the firing of cannon by day, the bursting of rockets by night. Most nations have such a memorable event in their history. But in reverence of the dead, and in our way of showing respect to their memories, America, we believe, has no imitator. The graves of the soldiers are scattered all over the country. The bones of some are bleaching in Southern soil. In numerous graveyards throughout the Noith plain white stones mark their last resting places. In others stately monuments have been erected to their memory. Wherever they lie they are honored. They gave their lives that the nation might live. It is a quaint and tender conceit—the decoration of the graves of the patriot dead with flowers. Flowers are the children of rain and sunshine, growing and pointing upwards to the source from whence they derive their being. Their perfume ascends as incense to the throne of the Most High. He must be narrow-souled who doubts that God has taken the man into his sheltering embrace who left wife, home, children, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, to go forth and fight for the right. Never did man fall in cause more righteous never went forth men to battle with holier motives. So their graves to-morrow will be strewn with flowers—the purest and sweetest of nature's gifts. Each year a few more graves are added, as an old comrade responds to the call,and joins above those with whom he has Ptood shoulder to shoulder below. The ranks of the old soldiers are thinning fast. We miss their gray locks fluttering in the wind on this annual occasion. But who can doubt that they go to their rest with thankful hearts, knowing that their memories will be kept green and their examples emulated by the rising generation?

WHILE Dr. Briggs was apperently defeated Friday in the General Assembly by a vote of 409 to 145, it by no means represents his strength. This vote was on the question to entertain the appeal of the New York Presbytery. Many of Dr. Briggs' friends believe that the a£peal should be heard and voted accordingly. When it comes to the final vote they will cast their votes in favor of the accused heretic. The indications are, however, that the Doctor is doomed, but it will not be done by so large a vote as that cast yesterday.

COINCIDENT with Memorial Sunday came the order of Hoke Smith, Secretary of the interior, which in effect, it is estimated, will reduce the payments of pensions to veterans from 815,000,000 to 820,000,000 a year. And this is only the beginning.

"Where is the flae"?:'

The question has been asked by many to-day as to where was the court house flag. It could not be seen floating to the breeze, but upon close inspection it was noticed that the flag had been run up half mast, and the end tied down Then the wind had wound the flag around the rope until it had the appearance ot a red, white and blue rope. The janitor says that he had orders to tie tJue flag down so it would not float, but his idea would have been to have raised it so it would float out to the breeze.
