Fob the year ending June 30, 1S87, the receipts of the Treasury from all sources amounted to $332.000,000. If $100,000,000 less had been taken, the people would have teen that much richer by taking it they were more than that much poorer but it did not enrich the Government, slmDly because the Government had no legitimste use for the money. Tbe Blair educational bill, designed to extract money from the Treasury, is probably, as visionary as any measure Intro duced into Congress since the first session. It will be found upon close examination that illiteracy, after all, ia cot the most prolific parent of crime. It there are those who doubt the proposition they have only to read crime records as furnished by the courts, and particularly the reports of the Pacific Railroad Commission. s Thk ßL Louis Globe Democrat says: "So far as we know, the Republicans have given cp all hepe of defeating Lamar, if they ever had any hope of being able to do it." O, yes, they did have hopes, and played them for all they were worth, and failed. It was bloody shirt opposition purely sectionaland without one redeeming quality. That sort of opposition is doomed in this country. It is no longer an issue upoa which any party can win. Tns Lafayette Journal remarks that "not since the Presidential campaign of 1S31 ha3 apolitical gathering of equal magnitude or importance been ssen as the one at Indianapolis the llth inst. It was characterized not. only by size, but by enthusiasm and hearty good will." Nor was that alL The meeting was universally Interpreted as meaning victory for the Democracy in November. There was enthusiasm, but it was immensely practical. Every man understood that there must be organization from the ground up, and that Democrats must go about the work at once, and upon this, as upon every other commonsense proposition, there was agreement. Oar the day of the Democratic metin at Indianapolis the News of that city observed that they had a chance to make a spoon cr spoil a horn. Again, on the djy after the conference the News added: They spoiled the horn." And that serns to be about the size of it, Lafayette CuurTie. The Democratic meeting was not callei to make "spoons" It was not a "spoony" gathering and the News was no part ot It and ;as for "spoiling horns," no effort was made to emulate the RepuWlcn town meeting in that regard. Tha Democratic meeting was simply an overwhelming success. It met every expectation; indeed, the most sanguine were surprised. Making spoons and spoiling horns a3 an industry in which the News and Journal have a monopoly. The Chisago Tribune Is constantly reminding the Rapublicm leaders that they are on the wrong track. Ia arscentisme it says: Senator Sherman revamp old prjtactionist do mai with poor sucsess. His claim that the wool duty an "Vacjarasei the prodnction of wool" ia equarelyaid emphatically refuted by the resard. The lowest price wool ha3 reached ia thirty years 23 cents was under tha hi1! prtectiye tariff, and when the duty wai lowered, in 13S3. the price baz tn to alviace and rose steadily until it is now at 32 cents. Nor did the lessening of tha duty lea t to an increase of importations. In the four years preceding the reduction tb i-noort of clothing wool were valned at $16 772 orx), and in the four years followia at $10,377,000, a decrease of $100.0CO. Such are the statements made by one of the most pronounced Republican papers in the country, and being strictly In consonance with the policy of the Democratic party, the probabilities are that fact will at an early day triumph over fiction.

The Boston Herald is of the opinion that "while free wool would be of enormous benefit to the New England manufacturers, it would not, if one may judge by the past, cause any material loss to the American wool growers." The Herald Is one of the ieadicg NeT England papers. It is not a Democratic organ. It is a paper which has the conxege cf conviction. If free wool would benefit New England manufacturers, it would benefit labor more factories, more employes, more wages. Tne Herald states that last year "American consumers purchased foreign manufactures of wool to the amount of $45,000,000, 3he greater part of this enormous quantity ot manufactured products would have fbeen made in our own miha, by our own Operatives, if the foreign producers had tot had the advantage of getting their raw material at lower prices than our manufacturers paid forthelrs. II the prices of wool ost of transportation aside were the same in Boston as in London, the great Importations of foreign-made fabrics of wool of all kinds would in a large degree cease, because should make them ourselves." It will be aeen that the Democratic policy upon the wool question is promotive of the Interests of labor, since It will enable American manufacturers to supply the t home market which is now, owing to tbe tax, largely supplied by foreign-made fabrics. -J KIND WORDS FOB THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The Repnbllcan'paxty, evidently, has not long to live. Extraordinary elTorta are being made to galvanize It Into something like vitality, but it la no go. Its best friends recognize that it is in a dying condition. It Is without an Issue. A party without an issae is in a condition as deplorable as a sick cow that has no cud to .'.r.tw. Tbe r&rty'a second stomach has -iven out. The quid recommended by 'alee don't ansverfor a cud for an lSjue. .- s for the bloody sbirt, it is no longer an i--ne; it is effete, barren, exhausted, wrn i The free trade nonsense ia, if possible, z re dilapidated than the bloody shirt

foolishness. The President's message has taken the country by storm. It has given all honest men a straight-out, sharply defined issue. The Government has been robbing the people, compelling them to surrender their money when the Government had no use for it. Mr. Cleveland and the Democratic party, and the honest element of the Republican party, approve tbe issue, indorse the policy. They say the time has come to inaugurate an era of honesty ; that stealing the people's money under cover of law is a monstrous iniquity, and that sophistry, chicane and legal legerd main must no longer be permitted to it flaecce the policy of the Government. The Republican party, it will be seen at a glance, is In a preparatory condition to hand in its checks. It has no issue. We challenge the Indianapolis Journal to state tbe issue upon which the Republican party proposes to go before the American people in the campaign of 1S33. The tobacco quid issue will not do, nor will tbe free whisky Issue. John Sherman's effort to make the robbing of the people of $100,000,000 a year can't be made to work. Chandler's Southern election issue is already dead, and Blair's educational bill never was an issue. It is seen that the Republican party is without an ifsue. To make the antagonizing of tbe Democratic party an issue would result disastrously, since honest Republican! indorse the Democratic policy. The conclusion is therefore inevitable that all that is left for the Republican party is to die. It is said of Indians that "the good Iadian is the dead Indian." Fossibly that can bs said of the Republican party when gone at a'ny rate, it is well enough to contemplate the demise of the party and be proposed to speak kindly of it when stretched out on a cooling board, or lying cold and stiff in its winding sheet. And in this connection we are reminded cf a beautiul trait in the character cf a man in Illinois who always had something kind to say of the dead. It came to pass at last that a notorious reprobate died: a man of such a notoriously bad character that those who knew him best could think of nothing to say of him ia tLe way of commendation, and yet it was believed that the man who was in the habit of saying kind words of the dead would manage in this, as in every other case, to find something worthy of praise, end a bet was made that such would be tbe case. On the day of the funeral, the eulogist of the dead, with others, took a farewell look at the corpse. He came up iolemnly, slowly, and with a benevolent look on his features. He leaned over the a. ; ffin and looked long and anxiously at the features of the dead reprobate. At last he raised his head, looked around upon his friends, and whispered wita a sigh: "Well, he had Rood teeth." That was til "He had good teeth." We suggest that that much could be said of the Republican party "It bad good teeth. MAN ON THE ASCENDING GRADE. It ia a trite saying that "the story of man is man." Scientists ol late yens, accepticg tbe proverb for all that it means and for all that it is worth, have devoted themselves to the study of man. What is the result? Certainly not the accepted theory 'hat man was always man, that is, man from the beginning a created man. They bave taken man as he is, examined him, taken kirn in his highest phyrical and intellectual development, and then taking the back track, traced him to his origin, where they find him not a man at all, bat rather a beast or a reptile an animal of gome sort, without a trace of the man as tbe best specimens appear to-day. These students of man have managed to conccct a variety of theories, but generally fegrce that man, as he now exists physically, was not created, and the conclusion follows necessarily that man intellectually is tbe result of evolution processes as marked as anything connected with his physical development. In the matter of races there is a wide diversion of opinion, as for example: Virey thought there were two, Cnvler three. Linnaeus four, Blumenbach five, Buffo n six, Paschael seven, Agassiz eight, Pickering eleven, Friedrich Maller twelve, Bory St. Vincent fifteen, Morton twenty-two, Crawford sixty and Darke sixty-three. But whether one or a hundred, scientists will have it that man was not created man, but has been evolved from a lower animal, and a very low animal at that. Investigations have gone so far as to discover that a number of races '"ire existed and disappeared from the face f the earth, auch, for instance, as the ' ilver drift men," tbe "cave men," the .hke-d wellers," the "mound bnilaerj," nd the "cliff-dwellers," The3e are all 'vanished tribes, their form and stature, '. -.eir arts, their mental capacity, their state of civilization," their language, everything 1 8 vanished, and nothing is left but conjecture. The probabilities are that they ere overtaken by other rscss farther advanced In the progress of evolution, and extinguished. If, as Virey thought, there were but two races, It would not be difficult to select tbe animai or reptile from which tliey stated; but if Burke I s correct, there are sixty-three different races, and the work cf selecting from the world's tauns, while more difficult, becomes vastly more Intert sting and considering the numerous pe cullartles of man'a mental organism, one Is likely to fall in with Burke's theory. Who does not see in men of the times proof that they have come down from the cur tribe "the snappish cur ?'' Who bas not Been men of "timorous heart," like the hare or the sheep? Turnlrg from such epecimensof men, it is cheering to behold a man of the lion heart. Men see a hundred times a day the lap-dog specimen, the degenerate creature whose high ambition It is to be caressed. Again, in the Btady of man, nothing is more frequent than the contemplation of the wily, prowling, pllferin creature who ha? come dowa from the fox the more advanced of the sp33imeu3 haviag sagacious nrset, which enable them to secure big prey. There are men who possess in a lar,e degree the traits of the hyena, scornIcgall the taming arts of men. O bers H ere are who, like the leopard, are proud of tte fpots on their character, while tho3e ineeerchof statistics touching the question will find the social jangles fall of men, like tigers, larking for their preydestroyers of men and women, sleek and vile. Barke, evidently, wn9n he de

cided there were sixty-three different races of men, and that all had their originin bessta and reptiles, had an eye upon beir peculiar traits of character. He had doubtless studied the reptilian man, the envious, jealous, slanderous miscreant who could rattle and bite, and many have exclaimed with Young: "Eow poor, how rich, how abject, how august, How complicate, how wonderful is man ?' And finding It impossible to reconcile conditions with science and philosophy, based upon one race or a dozen races, he concluded that man's nature demonstrated conclusively that he must have originated in a large number of animals and j ep tiles, and that the peculiarities of each are so manifest even now as to enable students to determine with approximate accuracy what particular trait of animal or reptile predominates in man's nature, and hence the philosophy of the fable: "How falsely is the Spaniel drawn! Did man from him first learn to fawn? Go, can! the ways ot courts discern. You'll find a Spaniel Etil might learn now can tbe fox's theft and plunder Ft ovoke man's censure or his wonder? From courteous tricks aal lawyers' arts, The fox might well improve his parU. Tbe lloa, wolf, and tiger's brood ue cures for their love of blood; H-it is not man to man a pre;? 1'eastt kill for hunger, man for pay" Such has been the history from the beginning. There Las been to change. There have been no CiodificatiocsJmprovements. Man is on the acer.ding grade. Lat still it is true that " ' " Each animal By natural instinct taught, fpeaks his own kind, But man, the tj rant man, revels at large. Freebooter unrestrained, destroys at will. The whole creation, men and beasts bis prey, These for his pleasure, for his glory those! ! Why so? Is It because in man's nature is found, as scientists would have it, all beastly and reptilian passions? Is man on the ascending grade? Manifestly so. Even In war, it is held man is less .brutal than in the olden time, This, it is said, is owing to our Christian civilization. It is a remarkable adm-ssion. but whatever there is in it, calculated to happyfy the world ought to be accepted as a benediction; but in face of facts it will be found tbere is precious little in the proposition, since the manufacture of death-dealing instruments was never in the history of the world as active as at present, and the motto is still accepted as embodying the highest wisdom, "In time of peace prepare for war." And still the world is growing better. Man is on the ascending grade. The better natured men are gaining eronnd. In spite of science there is aa immense army of men who believe in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of men. The men of brutish reptilian natures are not even now in the majority though of sufficient force to keep others forever on the alert, and if it were possible to chronicle the virtues of society as constantly and as iully as its vlcea are laid bare, tbere would be more faith in the world that man is on the ascending grade.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW, The Year, All Things Considered, Upens Well iu Business Circles. New Yop.k, January 13. R. G. Dan & Co. in their weekly review of trade say: "With perhaps a little more taia tae usual dullness for the first half of January, business still progresses without monetary pressure or unutual embarrassment from the failure of collections in any part of the country. While failures at some points ere numerous, the aggregate is less than or the conespondicg week la3t year, and complaint of collections is much less frequent than a month ago. Within thirty or sixty days payments oa large fall purchases will be required, and some increase in failures wou'd not be surprising, for the shrinkage in business toward tne end of last year indicated that there had b?en overconfident buying in some department. But the new year opens with less embarrassment from that or other causes than was reasonably apprehended. Speculative markets are generally dull, which is not a bad symptom for leitimave trade Industries are ßOinewhtt disturbed by strikes and legislative or business uncertainties. Shortness of supplies and high prices disturb manufactures at many points, and it may prove ud fortunate for northern iron producers that they are just now led by the temporary stoppage of some furnaces to hold prices firmly, when Southern makers are effecting contracts at $ 20 for No. 1, and $10 for mill iron. On rails there is no change, bar $100 at Philadelphia shnwa week-cess while the nail markets are stiffer at $2.05. "The unusual prosperity of cotton 'manufacture with fair prices and well sustained demand has led to a demand for higher ages for spinners, which threaten to ad In a Ferious strike. At present the enact i to hast en purchases and stiffen prices. The woolen business shows no definite improvement, but it is encouraging to had that, though the last year's work was most cccatisfactory, the production is estimated at some of the chief centers only 10 per cent, less than that ol lS-6, witn a decliae cf 10 to 15 per cent, during the year in average prices. Other industries are progressing satisfactorily, and in lead the production of 160,000 tons, and in cjpoer tiie production of 182,500,000 pounds surpass all previous records. "Reports from the Interior present fewer features of interest than usual, trade being everywhere quiet or dull, as is usual at this season, money being generally easier, with some tendency to stringency at SU Faul. "Figures Indicate that the return of foreign capital from this country has been considerable during the past six weeks, and though prices in the stock market do not decline, movements indicate that foreign Investments are not just now increasing. Preadstuffs have declined a little, corn lc, and pork and lard are also a little lower. Coffee is lower with speculative reaction, and cotton with sales of 859 900 bales. Oil bas risen 2Kc; dairy products are higher. "The business failures, during the last seven days, number for the United States 258. and for Canada 30. or a total of 2SS, as gainst 270 last week, and 323 for the corresponding week of 1837."

HON. OSCAR B. HORD.

Death cf the Last Member of the Firm cf Biker, Hord & Hendricks. Th Demist of the Distinguished Lawyer Caused by JKecent Parayletic Stroke Sketch of Iiis Life Hon. Oscar B. Hord, who received a stroke of paralyses last Tuesday, died at 10 o'clock last Bight at his residence, cor cer of New York and California streets. Be had been unconscious for two days and all hope for his recovery was abandoned yesterday morning. His death is thought to have been produced by inflammation, caused by a blood clot on the brain. All the members of his family and other im mediate relatives were present at the bed aide. The deceased was the son of Francis T. Hord, of Washington, Mason Connty, Kentucky, where he was born August 3 1st, 1820. The family was a large one, consist irg of seven eons and two daughters, of whom the following named still live: W. T. Hord, surgeon in the Naval Academy at Philadelphia; George M. and Ellas K. Hord, of Chicago ;Hon. Francis T. Hord, of Columbus. Ind. .recently Attorney General ; Judge K. M. Hord, of Sbelbyville; Mrs. J. B. Nojes, of Maysville, Ky and JVIX3. M. G. Clark, of this city. He began reailn? law, while a mere boy, in bis father's office, and, in 1849, at the age of twenty j ears, established himself in his chosen profession at Greensburg, Ind., formiag a paitneisbip with James Gavin. In 1S30 ha took unto hiruse'f a wife in the pe:83n of Jliss Nannie Thorn psor. ot Mason connty, Ky., w o died eighteen months after marriage without issue.' In 1342 he was elected prosecitirg attorney of the Decatur Circuit, in which position he quickly gained distinction in that part of the State. On November 1, 1859, he was again married, his second wife being Miss Mary J. Perkins, of this city, daughter of Judge Samuel E. Perkins. The fruits of this marriage were four sons, Elliott, who died something over a year ago; HearyE., Francis T. and Ricketts, the ages of the three last namdd ranging between seventeen and twenty -one years. Mrs. Hord died July 15, 1871. and Mrs. Clark has for some years bad charge otthe household. The deceased was nominated for AttorneyGeneral on the Democratic ticket in ls;o, and W88 defeated, but two years later he made a successful race for the office and had since been a resident of Indianapolis. The death of Mr. Hord deprives the Indiana bar of another of its most conspicuous members. Thirty years ago he began to make rapid Btrides in his profession, and his legal ability was even then recognized throughout the State. He and his law partner, James Gavin, at that time practicing at Greensburg, began a compilation and revision of the statutes. Mr. Gavin entered the war, and the work was completed by Mr. Hord and Hon. Cortez Ewing. The book was issued about the time of the deceased's election to the Attorney-Generalship (1SG2) and the "Hord and Gavin Statutes" had a wide sale, and are still to be found In law libraries. At the close of his term of office, he having moved to this city in the interim, he formad a pcrtiership with Hon. Thomas A. Headrieks, nnder the name of Hendricks & Hord. This was in 1SG1, and not long atferward Judpe Samuel E. Perkins joined the fiim, whose name was changed to Han. dricke, Ferkina fc Hord. In Judtra Perkins assumed the editorship of the Sentinel (thin Herald) end the late Mjor Abram V. Hendricks took a pi ice in the law firm, which became Hendricks, Hord k Hendricks. When exGovernor Baker retired from office, la 1872, he exchanged places with his s accessor, Governor Hendricks, and the firm became Baker, Hord fc Hendricks, which name it has ever since borne. It will be seen, therefore, that Mr. Hord, in point ot service, was the oldest member of the celebrated firm, and his demise removes the last of the distinguished jurists who composed it. Mr. Hord was unquestionably one of the most learned lawyers of the Stats or country. His legal knowledge was tbor jogh, not superficial, and the bulk of tbe real work of the firm fell to him and Major Hendricks. He worked systematically, beicg punctual and methodical in his tfl:ce habits. He never slighted a client's interest, and was never known to undertake the trial of a case unprepared, lie wts an abl advocate, and possessed all tbe e'emcnts that make up a successful 1-wjtr. Ha was earnest, fearless and hoaeit in all his methods, and no man was ever held in higher respect or esteem by fellowmerobers of the bar. Aside from the Attorney-Generalship, tbe deceased never sought or held public oflice. His wide acquaintance and popularity would have made him a formidable candidate for any nomination, but he had no political amoition.preferrin; to devote himself to his profession and quietly enjoy the competence accruing therefrcm. True, he was a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions of 1S7G and ISSi, but he did not seek those honors to gratify perEonal aspirations, but solely to render service to xhe late Vice-President Hendricks, of whom he was a devoted.llfe. lone friend. Throughout Mr. Hendricks' pnblic career, Mr, Hord euj oyed his confidence to a greater degree, verhaps, than any other Democrat in Indiana. He was, in fact, bis first lieutenant, and his time and means were constantly at tbe dipc$al of the great statesman. He aide! in if curing Mr. Hendricks the nominations fcr Vice-President at both St. Louis and Chicago, and always regarded these as the two proudest acts of his life. Mr. Hord's attainments were not con fined to the law. He was a scholar In the full meaning of the term. II was never happier than when at home with his books. His private library was one of the largest and most carefully selected in the State. He found his greatest pleasure in literary pursuits, and was thoroughly posted on current literature. Scarcely a day passed that he did not invest in a new volume of some sort. Be was a veritable "book worm," and was commonly known as "the greatest reider in Indianapolis." Socially Mr. Hord was one of the p'easantest companions. A cultured conversationalist, refined in tnought and polished in manner, he was rtn rally Bought after by gentlemen. His i.ioii.;ess of heart and ?enero8ity were striking traits of his character. He gave liberally to public charity, and was accustomed to contribute to the relief of distress whereevtr he found it. His purse strings were constantly loosened to help the deserving. He was also ever ready to lend a helping bard to an ambitious young lawyer, and Us friendship in every way was of the Bort tbr.t counts. No arrangements have as yet been made for tbe foneral.

Tbe case was reported to Mayor CallaghaD, who advised that the man be seat to the hospital, which was done. Dr. Braunagel decided that the stranger was not in need of medical attention, and consequently dkcharged him from the hospital. Ue wandered into the Central Hotel effice Taesday afternoon and acted so strargely that the clerk called to tbe police to take him away, and accordingly Officer Brown conveyed him to headquarters, Where he now is. From papers on hia person it ia learned that his name ia L. A. Furlong, of Illinois. He is apparently about forty-five years old, at least six feet high, straight as an arrow, with heavy black mustache slightly tinged with gray, dark brown eyes and high forehead. He refuses to talk to anyone, though when certain questions are propounded to him he will answer by a nod or shake of the head. He insists en maintaining a kneeling posture, a) if ia tbe act of constantly praying, and is occasionally heard to mutter incoherent sentences when he thinks no ose can bear him. Ue seems occasionally to be holding an incoherent conversation with some imaginary person and talks about New Yoik and 8an Frsncisco in senseless ramblinz jirgoa. He appears to be a man of temperate haMts. He had bat a few dollars on his person when taken to police headquarters, bat he is splendidly dressed, his linen beinz spotlessly clean. He is either insane, and in that codition has wandered o 3 from home, thereby furnishing another case of "mysterious disappearance of a prominent citiren," or he was dragged and robbed while on the road between this city and New Orleans. The police are inclined to believe that the man has been robbed while in this unfortunate condition. They are anxious to communicate with his friends. There is a local passenger train on the Omaha railroad, between St. Paul and Stillwater, that is shunned and dreaded by engineers. It is called "The Hospital Train," and other equally significant names, because every engineer who has run it in several years has either bad a strok of paralysis while in the cab, or been severely injured.

Eli Fay, who.twen'y five yeas ago, was pastor of the Unitarian Caurca of Leominister, Mass., and wbo, by fortannae investments m the Jar West, hai maJe a fortune of $2 OOO.OOu, has oil-red, it is "id, to give 1750,000 toward eatab'.ithing a Unitarian female seminary, on c"oduvMi that it shall be established in Massachusetts, end that the denomination shall raise money enough to make the fund an even million.
