The republican party haa not fully decided whether to oiler the negro banishment or disfranchisement. The attention of the anti-trust convention is respectfully called to the plateglass trust, which is preparing to ravage a once happy land by extortionate prices for its product, which has already thrown hundreds of workmen out of employment, and which, if reported correctly, is utterly devoid of conscience. There are many larger cities and many wealthier cities in the world than Indianapolis, but we do not beliere that there are any handsomer ones since it has donned its June attire. Were there ever go many delightful ehade trees, and so many beautiful varieties, to say nothing .of the wealth of roses and other attractive flowers that greet the eye in every square of the city after leaving the business thoroughfares. We have a beautiful city and today it is at ita best. Vivian Sartoris. the granddaughter of Gen. Grant, is to adopt a stage career. Americans who have always deeply sympathized with gentle, lovable Nellie Grant in her unfortunate married life, will be gratified by the assurance she gives that financial necessity does not dictate her daughter's career. The young lady has given evidence of the possession of rare histrionic ability, ia passionately determined on going upon the stage and her mother has only yielded assent after all efforts to changa her daughter's plans had failed. The alarming discovery has been made that Minnesota is endeavoring to divert Immigration from Texas by the circulation of a pamphlet in Sweden containing reflections on the Lone Star state, euch as this: ''Texas is not a good place for the Swedes to go. The people are not good, like in Minnesota, but are bad and fierce. The peopla live in second stories and pnll up their ladders al night, or else the cowboys would rob them. No Swede must go to Texas." It ia hoped that Governor IIogo will promptly baue a message informing the Swedish government that Minnesota is a prevaricator. It is a remarkable fact that the Ohio republican convention, following closely the published and widely circulated statements of such prominent republican leadrs as J. J. Inoalls and Mlkat Halste ad in favor of banishing and disfranchising Ihe negroes, haa not a word to say on that lubiect. Neither did Governor McKinley allude to it in his speeoh. Both McKinley and the platform made the usual ltatement of belief in a fair ballot and a fair count, indicating that they ate willing to let the negro vote in Ohio so long as he rott-s right, but not a word in condemnation of or in protest against the disfranchising program. Ohio republicans have rery little care for the welfare of the negro. The trolley invasion of the Gettysburg battlefield has been halted. A Pennsylvania regiment learning that the road was encroaching upon its territory will put an injunction on the vandals and deter them from cutting through Its lot of ground. The Philadelphia I' rests says: ''There is no doubt of the result. Soldiers who fought at Gettysburg can have but one opinion of the trolley when they see it, and that opinion must be wholly antagonistic. There may be some exceptions. There are men without sentiment or sensibility, who are oblivious to every form of desecration if a few dollars profit can be extracted from it. Put the veterans who return to Gettysburg are Dot of this quality. To them that great battlefield is sacred grsund. A trolley humming through a cemetery and crossing right over the graves of their beloved dead would not seam a greater atrocity than Ihia Gettysburg affair." The frightful casualty at Washington is B terrible indictment of thj American people, of their governmental representatives, of the loose methods that are so comsnon in all the departmental work in Washington. Ilere was a building that had been repeatedly condemned as unsafe, that was occupied by a department toat larniihee high-grade engineers to the country, that was altered and patched up for ita new uses, and that daily gave evidence of its dangerous condition. When loaded wagon passed it waa shaken to its foundations, and yet its floors were piled with an enormous weight of records. Into this building about three hundred men were obliged te go to their labor as government employes. They had no choice but to quit work. At last the longpredicted accident occurred, and unfortunately occurred when the building waa filled with these victims of national carelessness. It is a most horrible lesson, and it is to be hoped that it will be heeded. It haa been asserted by some that houses cf prostitution and the night-walking claia have drawn their supplies largely from working women. Helen Campbell, in tne June Arena, says that nothing could be further from the truth and she takes a reoent report of the Massachusetts bureau of labor to sustain her statement, and the report is very gratifying. The investigation of the Massachusetts bureau in fourteen cities showed clearly that a very email proportion among working women entered thii life. The largest number claased by occupations came from the lowest order of workers, those employed in housework and hotels, and the next largest was found among seamstresses, employes of shirt factories and eloakmakers, all of these iaIndustries in which underpay is proverbial. The great majority, receiving not more than J5 a week, ears it by seldom less than tea hours a day of hard labor, and not only live on that sum but assist friends, contribute to general household expenses, dress so as to appear fairly well, and have learaed erery art of doing with

out. More than this, since the deepening interest in their lives and the formation of working girld' clubs and societies of many orders, they contribute from this scanty sum enough to rent meeting housos, pay for instruction in many classes, and provide a relief fund for sick and disabled members What lakes the Gold. The esteemed Journal is not pleased with Mr. Cleveland's statement that "one does not need the eye of a financier to see that this gold thus subtracted from the government's Btock ia eagerly seized by othpr nations for the purpose of strengthening their credit at our expense." It is impressed with the idea that the movements of tho precious metals have no especial connection with the efforts of banks aud treasuries to fscure them. On the contrary, those institutions are powerless in the matter, according to its theories. It saya: This does not put the case correctly. The gold thus subtracted from the government's stock id not "eagarly seized by other nations," but Hows abroad in accordance wilh the inexorable laws of trade. It goes abroad because the balance of foreign trade is largely and increasingly azainst us. In other words, gold is leaving the country because we are importing too many foreign products. Yet Mr. Cleveland and his party advocate a policy which would greatly increase our importations and make tho balance of foreign trade against us greater than ever. This is a very tine theory and one that has been urged by protectionists for a great many years with more or less success. It seems like a very plain and simple thing that when we send more goods abroad than we bring back thero ought to be enough of "the world's money" sent to us to make up the difference. And when we buy more goods than we send abroad we certainly ought to pay enough gold and silver to make up the difference. How can it be otherwise? No one will give merchandise away, and if it passe? from one nation to another there muat be some compensation for it. Hence the idea that an excess of exports over imports is a sign of prosperity, and the idea that there must be a balancing of accounts by money. One of the chief objections to thefle ideas is that they are not true. This may be rapidly seen lrom the following comparative table of exports and imports of merchandise and coin for a period of twenty years;

Everyone knows that the period from 1S73 to 1SS0 was one of great depression in this country, and yet in those years there was a tremendous excess of exports over imports, both of marchan lie and of the precious metals. The period of twenty years covered shows the same result. In only six of these years did our imports of merchandise exceed our exports, and in only five of them did our imports of the precious metals exceed our exports. In nine of the yeara there was a conjunction of excess of imports of merchandise with excess of exports of gold and Kilver, or vice vern, but in only two of those years was there any similarity of amount euch as the Jjnrivil claims should exist. It ia evident, therefore, that the balance of trade theory will not account for the shipments of gold from this country, and this is the more striking when considered in connection with the estimated gold supply during this period. The treasury officials estimated the amount of gold and silver in the country in 1872 at $12$i3Si,8G4. Following that year came heavy exports of gold and silver and also of merchandise, and yet in 187'J our stock of the precious metals had risen to S-V27,-601,425. In 1884 it had reached 314,783,143. In 1S90 it was $1,153,774,943, and of this amount $00:3,503.029 was gold. If, the Jiiirnal will pursue its investigations in this line it will eventually discover that countries import what they want and export what other countries want, whether it be gold and silver or anything else that can be supplied. It will also discover that balances of trade between countries are not settled in coin. If they were there would be a great revolution in the carrying trade. Juat now Europe wants gold, and our laws give her the opportunity of taking ours on the easiest terms imaginable. The gold is going chiefly out of the national treasury, but the national government is neither buying nor selling goods. It has no balance of trade. It is the victim of Honest John Sherman's financiering. McKinley' Ilambllng. If anything were needed to take the measure of William McKinley as a small calibre man, his speech accepting the renemination for governor of Ohio would be sufficient for the purpose. The whole tenor of his complaint against the administration is: Why has not something been done to restore confidence? Why has not the tariff bill been amended? Why has not the Sherman bill been repealed? The present administration has been in office three months, and has already given notice that in three months more a special session of congress will be called to consider financial measures. Mr. McKinley has perhaps forgotten that the republicans went into office in IBS') pledged to revise the tariff, and that his celebrated bill bears date Oct. 1, 1890 one year and seven months after Mr. Hakkisn'm inauguration. He haa forgotten that his party went into power pledged to prevent the demonetization of silver, and that the fraud commonly known as the Sherman law bears date July 11, lS'.K) one year and four months after Mr. Harrison'.' inauguration. Mr. McKinley knows well enough that important laws canuot be changed in the twinkling of an eye. When Mr. McKinley comes to the tariff, on which he is the republican authority, he concedes that tin and coal will be made cheaper by being put on the free

list, and predicts that "sugar will have to go from tho list of free articles to the list of tariffed articles 'tariffed' is good and cheap sugar be azain made dearer to the masses." We beg to call the major's attention to the fact that the foreigner pays the tax, and that all euch talk as this is arrant nonsense. In this connection, by some strange oversight, Mr. McKinley failed to call attention to the great popular triumph which greeted his tariff bill last fall. Passing to the money question, he eaid of Mr; Cleveland: In every effort to maintain the high financial credit of the country, secure sound and stable currency, and maintain the nation's laith inviolate, he will have the warm support of republicans everywhere. It cannot, however, pass unobserved that however Bound Mr. Cleveland's financial views may be, the party to which he would naturally turn for support, his own political associates, for the most part, are financially unsound.and are bent upon a still further derangement of the currency. To have any relief from the present unfortunate situation he must look to the republican party. That party has never failed in any emergency, aud it will be ready to co-opernte in every good work for the restoration of contldenoeand the return of good times. This is so nervy that it is refreshing. Has Mr. .McKinley forgotten so soon the course of tho republicans in the last congress in this matter? Has he forgotten who passed the Sherman bill? Did he notice that within the past few days Senator Mandlkox of Nebraska, who has earned the reputation of being the "pijj-headedeet man in the world," has openly declared thtt the Sherman law shall not be repealed without a free-coinage substitute? Mr. McKinley's remarks ou tho pension question are as cheap and demagogical as thosa on tariff and currency. He declarÄ, "No honest man will object to a purging of the rolls of all who are unworthy there," and yet he facoa about with this paltry equivocation : The published ruling of the secretary of the interior, announced in the proB3, will strike from the pension roll of the country hundreds of thousands of worthy and dependent soldiers, who. if not altogether incapacitated, are practically incapacitated from earning a living for themselves and farnilios. It is to this universal indictment acainst pensioners that I enter a solemn and erauhatic protest. Mr. McKinley knows that the ruling applies to no man who is not illrjnlly on the pension rolls, and he knows that this is no "universal indictment against pensioners that it is no indictment of, and has no eTect on, any man who is drawing a pension leg.ilty. Does he mean to say that worthy men are drawing pensious illogal y? Thit ia exactly what the language be uses would imply. We do not know how clap-trap of this style will strike Ohio voters, but intelligeut people generally will understand from it that Mr. McKinley is sorely pressed for arguments. Ilcpcal the Sherman Law. The authoritative annouacement of the president is now made that a special session of con'rosj will bo culled not earlier than the 1st nor later than the 15th of September, ualesa unexpected contingencies should arise. It is also announced that the subject of silver coinaza will be brought before conaress as thu special subject for its consideration. With the?-) announcements comes also the president's cairn and confident appeal to the aober judgment of the peoplo: It is well for the people to take up the subject for themselves and arrive at their own conclusions at to the merits of a financial policy which obliges us to purchase idle silver bullion wilh gold taken from our reserve. One does not need the eye of a financier to see that this gold thus subtracted from the government's stock is eagerly seized bv other nations for the purpose of strengthening their credit at our expense. It does not need the art of statesman" ship to detect the danger that awaits upon the coutinuance of this operation. Already the timidity of capital is painfully apparant, and none of us can fail to sea that fear and apprehension in monetary circles will ultimately bring Buffering to every humble homo in our land. It has been demonstrated by the actual, steady reduction of the gold reserve that this policy must make the preservation of a gold reserve impossible without some extraordinary means of securing gold, euch as issuing new bonds, should be adopted. The amount of gold iu the treasury wag roported yesterday at $89,034,320. The Sherman law requires an annual purchase of 04.000,000 ounces of silver, if so much shall be oiTered. It is undoubtedly trua that the export of gold is to some extent due to other causes than our coinage law, but at the same time it ia evident that this enforced purchase of bullion constantly weakens our treasury and makes it leas able to retain that mastery of the finances of the country which ia essential to the maintenance of a sound currency. Everyone understands the trouble that would arise from a suspension of specie payments, and it may be presumed that nobody is desirous of attaining that result Obviously the first and most important thing is to carry out the party's pledge of maintaining the currency of the nation on a basis of equality. If that be not done it will certainly be much more difficult to bring about the former relations of gold and silver in our coinage. Indeed, it seems almost incredible that free silver men should permit themselves to be put in the attitude of championing this law. They did not propose it. It is tho work of the arch-enemy of their causa. Ho has declared expressly that its object was to prevent free coinage, and every day makes it clearer that he is accomplishing his object. But how? Because many free silver men have persuaded themselves that it ia advantageous to hold to a law which they themselves concede to be illogical and absurd. They are loading their came with the odium of a measure that ia proven a fraud and a failure, when that measure has no legitimate identification with their cause. Moreover it does not promote any object connected with their cause, but on the contrary has operated to obscure their arguments and to cause many persons to misunderstand both their purpose and the reasons on which it is founded. If Mr. Sherman foresaw this damage which was to be wrought by his bill, he was wiser than we imagine hiin. He inflicted a great injury when he succeeded in post poning free silver by this compromise, but he has inflicted an infinitely worse one by bringing a large portion of tne bimetallist forces into the attitude of supporting this abeurb measure, even after he has abandoned it himself. The only hope for their cause now ia that they may re

alize the character of the trap into which they have been drawn, and get out of it as speedily as possible. Eet the gold tnonometallista have the credit for the Sherman iaw. It is their bill, and was offered to the country as a better policy than free silver. The free silver men have no need to champion it. Defending a Trust. Referring toeorne remarks of The Sentinel as to the false etatement purporting to be issued by ono of tne prominent officials of the Diamond plate glass company, the Columbus Republican ingenuously remarks : It can be readily seen that a policy inaugurated through republican legislation, by which such an article as plate glass has been reduced in price 50 per cent, in a short time, is hateful to democrats, and in their opinion such an industry should not be carried on in this country. It is gratifying to find ono republican paper ready to come to the defense of this outrageous imposition on the people of the country. Most of them have had shrewdness enough to cut away from trusts and combines, and declare that these are enemies of the people, but occasionally we find one so completely soaked in the absurdities of protectionism that it is even willing to apolgir.0 for trusts. Here is a trust just perfecting its organization. An Indiana factory goes into it and shuts down. It throws Indiana workingmen out of employment. It injures the business of the place in which it ia located. It enters an unlawful combination for the sake of profiting by extortion under cover of an iniquitous tariff. And then it coolly gives out, or at least is reported bo to have done, that it has suspended business because of the uneasiness created by the present administration's financial policy. What could be moro rascally than this? And yot a republican newspaper cheerfully chirrups about a reduction of the price of plate glass by republican legislation ! The Sentinel, extends a hearty invitatation to its esteemed contemperary to keen on talking just that way. Nothing could be more satisfactory to democrats, for tho time has long since passed when anyone with common intelligence believes that reduction of prices reeultB from protection. The people know that the cheapening of products results from labor-paving inventions and improvements in processes. The idea that shutting out foreign competition cuts down prices is absurd. The idea that domestic competition (or foreign either for that matter) reduces the cost of production ia equally abaurd. The office of competition is to cut down profits to a reasonable figure. A shoemaker cannot make any noro phoes or make them any cheaper because ten more shoemakera are making shoes beside hi.n. 13 a I an invention for sewing or pegging shoes can cheapen production immensely. Tariff legislation did not make inventors any more than it made fertile lands and rich, mines and bountiful crops and aa hundred other thin:s for which protectionists ordinarily claim credit. The A merican people have sense enough to discriminate between raising and lowering prices, and they have sense enough to know that taking money out of their pockets and giving it to protected manufacturers is not going to make them rich. Tbatia not the way they are used to accumulating property. They know that trusts are not organized for the benefit of the dear people. They know that it is a public injury to ehut down fa'tories, limit production and put up prices. If the republican presa of this country thinks it can impose on them any longer ia this regard we want the trial to be mads. Here is na excellent opportunity. Here is a home institution gone into a trust which is a direct result of republican legislation. Our people have an opportunity to witness the beneficial effects of the transaction and to see for themselves what an excellent thing protection in its refined condition is. Will not the republican press of the state rally to the support of the Columbus Rnblican on this occasion? Let us hear from you, brethren.

Dnuglnas on Inall. Our esteemed friend, John J. Inoalls, has stirred up a hornet's nest by his proposition to banish the negro9s to Africa. The colored people all over the country resent it, and some of them get back at him in good shape. Fred Duix;lass declares that Ingalls is actuated by a desire for revenge. He declares that Inoalls' overthrow in Kansas was due to the colored population and that the waspish ex-senator is trying to get even with them for this personal grievance. And not only does Douglass proceed to point out the erroneous statements of fact on which Ingalls based his argument, but also, after replying to the Insralls proposition, he proceeds to jump on that distinguished gentleman himself as to matters which cannot properly be called "cross-examination.'' He says: I consider John J. Ingai.i.8 a man who has lost the confidence of the colored people. It is not so many years ago since he posed as a defender ot John Brown and the champion of the colored people. There have been but few national problems in the last thirty yeara on which he has not sooner or later been on both sides. While in the senate he exercised some influence, but since his enforced withdrawal be has lost what influence he ever possessed. His public utterances since Kansas repudiated him have indicated that he is running amuck, cutting and attacking everything within reach. This is not his first ebullition of passion against the negro. Just before he left the senate he made a speech much on tho same line with this article. I answered him, and it was the speech and answer that materially assisted in defeating him. The most injurious feature of these remarks is their truthfulness. What record has I no a Li J for anything worthy of remembrance? . He has been a sharp talker, a man who made epigrams, a coiner of stinging phrases, but whst did be ever do? His record as a statesman is worse than John Sherman'h record as a financier. Already the public has taken his ineaure, and has found that his place can be easily filled. The Popular Man. The SENTirn. is moved to congratulate Mr. Eck els -n his growing popularity. Never did any man make such an extraordinary rebound from the depths of public criticism to the altitude of public approval. It is something calling for more than - passing wonder, unless, indeed, Mr.

Eckels should prove to be the indiarubber man who used to adorn the circus of our forefathers. It ia but a faw weeks since we were assured that Mr. Eckels would never make a reputable comptroller of the currency. He couldn't do it, donH you know. He was nothing but a lawyer. The business interests of the country couldn't stand that ßort of thing. They wanted a practical man a man who had some experience in banking. Mr. Cleveland had no right to trifle with the important interests of the country by putting that sort of a man into such an important office, because it was evident to any person not intentionally blind that Mr. Eckels waa doomed to be the most stupendous failure of the age, and in his fall he would naturally carry with him a part of the financial fabric of the country. Of course the president had made some bad appointments, but Eckels was clearly the worst of the lot. Nevertheless, Mr. Eckels took the oath of office and began drawing his ra'ary. He startled the country by etating that he proposed to enforce tho laws, and then he startled it still more by doing what he said he would. That always brings down an American audience. He proposes that national bank inspection shall be what the law intended it to be a safeguard to the public. He doesn't intend to have banks carrying oc business unless they are in condition to do so. When the Chemical national of Chicago proposed to resume he informed the officials that they might do so, but th at they must do so on his conditions. The directors who bad borrowed money must pay it back. Tho stockholders must agree to an assessment of 50 per cent, to make good impaired capital. A board of directors must be named that would be sat isfactry to Eckels. That i business. That is what Mr. Eckels is in office for. When Mr. Mears of Dakota was found banking on the Dwiggins system, Mr. Eckels informed him that he could run no more national banks. That was business. That was what Eckels was put in office for. The country is banking on Eckels. He is the style of tyrant that America has been looking for. Go in, Mr. Eckels. Give us safe banks and tho people will love you. ET CETERA.

JUST LIKE OUR PEOPLE.

THE SPANISH PRINCESS CASTS ASIDE ROYAL DIGNITY And Visits th Fair in the Capacity of a Privat Individual Decides to See the Midway Plaisitnre Instead of Hobnobbing with the Aristocratic Populace. Chicago, June 9. To the great dismay of a few self-6tyled aristocrats and to the extreme delight of the people of Chicago in general and the thousands of visitors, Eulalie, the infanta of Spain, went to the world's fair today without any military escort and without any of the fussy ceremony that members of royalty are usually supposed to require. Tho democratic little princess was accompanied by three or four friends, and she laughed and had fun and enjoyed the sights just as any sensible American young woman would. And to the still greater horror of the aristocrats the obstinate princess persisted in passing by the fine art galleries and led the way right into Midway Plaisance where everybody has been accustomed to go, excepting the self-styled aristocrats. Eulalia did not tell anybody of her intended trip to the fair until nearly noon today and then she unceremoniously announced that she was going to take in tho fair "just like Americans do." Commander and Mrs. Davis and Mrs. J. L. Curry wife of the ex-minisier to Spain were the orginal party, but as they were ahout to start, Hobart Chatfield-Taylor and his wifo came in and they were invited to join the merry making. A private bteam yacht was secured and by this they went to tho Grand basin at the fair grounds where the partv entered a gondola and were rowed to the Woman's building. Here the princess and her friends took a light luncheon. Not one specially prepared, but such as is served to visitors at the fair every day and it was paid for by one of the party. Off for Midway Plaisance. Some one suggested that the party take in the big manufacturers and liberal arts building and another that they go to the fine arts building, but the princess vetoed both propositions and said she wanted to see the Midway Plaieance of which she had heard so much. She had her way and up the plaisance they went unheralded and unnoticed by the thousands of visitors who jostled past the princess as they would any ordinary mortal, to her great delight. After-walking to the extreme west end of the plaisance the princess wanted to ride in one of the rolling chairs, and chairs were procured for all the ladies of the party. The first stop they made was at the Captive balloon, and, to the sorrow of the infanta, it was too windy to make an ascension. From here they went to the Chinese theater and sat in the seats among the ordinary patrons of the show, which greatly amused tho democratic princess. It was not a special perform ance. The next stop was made in the street in Old Vienna and then they crossed over the "Street in Cairo." Here they visited the Egyptian temple. Next the Soudanese dancers were seen and then the wonderful Indian juggler. All the while the princess chatted and talked and laughed, and asked questions with the freedom of an American girl just from the seminary. She laughed heartily at the awkward antics of visitors who were making their maiden e. ort to ride the camels and was greatly amused at the donkeys driven by swarthy Arabian boys. Leaving the Cairo street the party went to the Algerian theater. She was deeply interested in Ilagenbeck's perforating lions and in the international dress exhibition, especially in the young woman who represented Spain. Took in Iilarney Castle. As they were about to leave the plaisance the princess caught sight of Blarney castle and the Irish village. She insisted that ehe waa not at all tired, and through tho village the party went. She listened with delight to Mies Sullivan perform Irish melodies on the harp of Erin's Isle and applauded the performance generously at its close. When it came time to go back to the hotel the princess was loth to leave. She declared she had never had a better time in her life. Tomorrow she will again visit the fair, but this time it will be a continuous visit and there will be no bands of music to greet her and dignified committees to meet her. The bureau of admissions announced today that the official count showed that 100,01ft visitors paid admi-sion to the fair yesterday and that near 00,000 workmen's concessionaires, exhibitors and press passes were ueed, making the total number of people at the park over 200,000. Tlio Appeal Granted. Judge Woods sitting in the U. S. court decided this morning to allow the World's Columbian exposition an appeal from the decision yesterday granting an injunction against Sunday opening of the fair. The time and place of hearing the appeal will be fixed by Chief Justice Fuller. Application for a supersedeas which would suspend effect of the injunction pending a hearing on the appeal was refused, leaving yesterday's decision in foro. Judges Jenkins and Grosscup hare not spoken in regard to the appeal and a decision has not been made. Tomorrow morning Attorney Walker will go before Chief Justice Fuder and ask for a suspension of the injunction until euch time ss it can be heard by the caurt of appeals. On Chief Justice Fuller's decision hangs the question whether or not the fair wid be open rext Sunday.
