HENDRICKS
and Lee have monuments
but Geueral Grant hasn't any yet, to speak of, that is, in, brass or iron. But Grant was always a modest, retiring sort of man.
THE old saying that a summer with few flies will be hot and sickly, seems to be holding good this season. There are not mauy flies but there have been much heat and many deaths in the month past.
HKNATOII EVERTS has a residence in New York, one in Vermont, another in Washington and has recently fitted up a log cabin on the Potomac, opposite Mount Vornon. A man ought to be able to get along fairly well with four houses, even if ho is a Senator.

»ald the Mormons are going to try to build up their unholy zion by converting Indians. There is some chance of success In that direction. The red man is not opposed to more wives than one the more squaws tho more help for him. Polygamy ought to "go" among tho Indians.
MP.M. JKII'KHMO.N DAVIS, llko Mrs Grant, is likely to be enriched from tho sales of a book about her late husband, haying received some $2,300 already on two months' salos of the volume. We may bo sure the Southerners will buy tho "Life of Jeff Davis" In r.llopatblo quantities. «. .TAY
CooicK, who broke "all to smash" in 1873, but is now well fixed again, attributes the fact to a hopeful inherited temperament and "never living In the olauds." Bolleving there was plenty of wealth in tho country, he sot to work to find somo of it and succeeded.- There is a very good lesson In this for some other people.

July payments for interests and
dividends in New York alone amounted to 100 millions of dollars. Thoso in all the othor cities combined amounted to probably ono-fourth as much. No wonder the Gothainltes are
BO
energetic in
their claims that Now York Is the financial center of America. It undoubtedly is and most likely always will be.
TIIOHR
who have paid any attention to
the recent utterances of Count Tolstoi, the famous Russian novelist and writer, have suspoeted his sanity, for it seemed Impossible that much of strange talk could emenate from a sane mind, so contray to reason and common sonse did it appear. The announcement Is now made that tho count is in a dangerous mental condition. So we have been reading the ravings of a lunatic and regarding them as profound wisdom.
IT IS stated that omnibuses propelled by electric storage batteries will soon be in uso in London, and carts and trucks for heavy hauling will follow. Meanwhile It seems that experiments with light carriages for pleasure riding propelled by electricity have not been equally successful, though it Is hard to see the reason why. It is altogether probable, however, that electricity will yet be Applied successfully for nearly all purposes for which horses are now used, just as it Is rapidly supplanting horses for street car service.
TKK III adjustment of industrial aflairs is well shown by some of the recent semi-annual interest disbursements In large cities. It appears that some of tho banks pay annual profits of from 12 to 20 per cent, on their sto*k, while the telephone and streetcar companies pay as high as and 35 per cent. Meanwhile the farmers, who actually produce nearly all the wealth of the country, are heavily mortgaged »nd find it hard work to make both ends meet. This is not fair but the ablest brains In tho country do not seem able to provide a satisfactory remedy.
have quite run to athletics of late. Like everything else our people take up it has become a sort of cnu*« and Is fast degenerating into brutality. Only a few days ago a prise fighter was killed in the ring, and it has got to be a common thing lor men to be fatally or permanently injured ia athletic contests. The fact is we are "running the thing in the ground/* to nse a homely phrase. If the brutal tendencies In our sports continues we shall soon be little better than the old Romans with their gladiatorial contort*, or the Spantah and Mexicans with their bull fights. It Is time that the line be drawn at decency In athletic contests.
KNtoim of Pythias everywhere may well be proud of the grand encampment at Milwaukee. The grant} P*n«2* on Tuesday embraced from 12,000 to IMW men from all the professions and indostrloa of life. But grand display not the most nor the best of l^thUitliaa The p»t year the order ha» expended the largo sum of fT90,000 for Die relief ot
members and payment of death benefits, and a million and a half dollars during the past two years. The Knights are one of the most popular "and flourishing of benevolent societies of America, and their deeds justify the regard in which they are held.
THE
first half of the year 1890 has been
one of exceptional business prosperity throughout the country. The total clearings—which means the aggregate busi •ess transactions of the country—show an increase of nearly 10 per cent, over the same period last year. And this is the more encouraging because last year showed heavy gains over 1888. What is still better is the fact that the increase does not seem to be attributable to speculation, the purely speculative exchanges indicating comparatively small gains The growth appears to be mainly in the channels of legitimate business, and is evidence of a general prosperous "condition of the country.

FELIX OSWALD
contributes to the
current number of the Home Maker a very sensible article on the uses and abuses of summer outings, in which he handles the so-called mineral springs without gloves. He points out that the use of mineral waters in large quantities has the same effect on the system as the stimulation by drugs. There is a tonic effect which is immediately followed by collapse when the stimulant is withdrawn. Or if the use of the waters be continued the system tires of responding to them, as in case of any other stimulant. The only permanent tonic and upbuiider for the system is pure air and exercise. The»e bring to the various organs a strength which is not fictitious and fleeting but natural and enduring. The summer outing that brings this kind of health is the only kind that is worth anything.
THE talk of a combination between Gov. Hill, of New York, and ex-Gov. Gray, of Indiana, to lay out Mr. Cleveland as the Democratic candidate iu 1892, may have some foundation in fact. The arrangement as reported is that Gray shall be an active candidate for first place on tho ticket, instead of second, but if it shall appear at any time that Hill can bo nominated Gray's forces are to go to him, giving the latter second place. The fact is the Democrats ought to come West for the head of their ticket in 1802. Thoro is no good reason why New York should have a mortgage on the party for the Presidential candidate. There is little doubt but Mr. Hendricks could have been elected President if he could have received the nomination of his party, and if Mr. Gray should be called to head the Democratic ticket in 1892 there would bo the liveliest kind of a fight on hand, especially if the Republicans should choose a Western man, as they are pretty sure to do. It would not be the East against the West, as in 1888, but the West would be divided not wholly on party lines.
COURAGE JN THE RIGHT PLACE. The action of Gov. Nicholls, of Louisiana, in promptly vetoing the nefarious lottery bill, cannot be too highly commended. From afar Northern State it may look like a very easy and right thing to do, but when we remember that the bill was passed by a very large vote of the Legislature, after full discussion in the press, and with an overwhelming Bentlment or the people in its favor, the matter assumes quite a different aspect. There was strong talk of impeaching the Governor should he veto the bill and It is altogether likely that his action may relegate him to private life, but ali the same his veto was prompt and emphatic, showing a man of true grit and a high sense of honor. It is possible thelottery sentiment may be strong enough in the Legislature to pass the bill overhis veto, but if so, Gov. Nlcnolls will at least be free of blame in the matter and in case the bill shall fail he will deserve and receive the entire credit of saving the State from such disgraceful legislation. Since the above was written the Legislature consummated th State's disgrace by passing tho bill over tho Governor's veto.
GOING INTO POLITICK. It is announced that the Nationalists of New York City are going into politics and that they will put a full municipal ticket In the field at the coming election. The Nationalists are men and women who believe In the theories advanced in Edward Bellamy's "Looking Backward." They have organized clubs in various parts of the country for the propagation of their ideas, but haye not heretofore worked In politics, although the expediency of doing so has been eonvassed.
Doubtless there is -wisdom in this decision. There is no better way to build tip au organisation than to make it the nucleus of an active* aggressive party. Men are held and won to a cause by fighti ng. A body that makes no forward movement soon begins to go backward. If the Nationalists have any ideas that are good, and we believe they have, let them force people to consider them by nominating candidates for office and pushing to secure thwir election, through the press aud on the rostrum. People will then be set to thinking and what is more* to acting.
Hie Nationalists are stronger on the Pacific coast than anywhere else the country, and this decision in New York will probably be followed by similar action In San Francisco and other California cities. If so the principles advx*ted by Bellamy and others of his way of thinking, will become much better understood fey the public than they are mow,

Scaly Skin Diseases
Faorlaais 5 years, covering fnco, head, and entire body with white scab#, skin red Itchy, and bleeding. Hair al gone.
Spent andreds of dollars. Pronounced incurable. Cured by Cuttcura Remedies. My disease {psoriasis) first broke out on my left cb wk, Hp reading across rny nose, and almost coverl ng my face. It ran Into my eyes, and the physician was afraid I would lose my eyesight altogether. It spread all over my bead, and my halr all fell out, until I was entirely bald-headed It then broke otit on my arms and shoulders, until my arms were Just one sore. It covered my entire body, my face, head, and shoulders being the worst. The white scabs fell constantly from my head, shoulders, and arms the skin would thicken and be red and very itchy, and would crack and beed if scratched. After spending many hundreds of dollars, I was prononnced Incurable. I beaid of the Guticura Remedies, and after using two bottles Cutlcum Resolvent, 1 could see a change and after I had taken four bottles, was almost cured and when I had used six bottles of CuUcnra Resolvent and one box of Cnticnra, and one cake of Cutlcura Soap, I was cured of the dreadful disease from which I had suffered for five years. I thought the disease would leave a very deep scar, but the Cutlcura Remedies eared it withoat any scars. I cannot express with a pen what I Buffered before using the Cutlenrs Reniediecs. They saved my llfet and I feel it my duty to rccommend them. My hair Is restored as good as ever, and so is my eyesight. I know of others who fcavr received great benefit from their use.

Mark' Twiintln a current periodical,
says: "If I w,ere required to guess, offHI band and without collusion with higher vSr# ft: minds, what is the bottom cause of the
amazing material and intellectual ad
vancement of the last fifty years. iWjry 7 should guess that it was the modern-
born and previously non-existent dis
position on the part of men to believe
that anew idea can have value.1
With the long roll of the mighty
names of history present in our minds
we are not privileged to doubt that for
the'last twenty or thirty centuries every
conspicuous civilization in the world
did produce intellects able to invent and "V creaiEe llie things wliicli make our day a
wonder perhaps we may be justified in
inferring, then, that the reason they did /Wl* not do It was tb^jb, th© public reverence
for old ideas and hostility to new ones,

wall they could not break down nor
climb over.".
