SPECIAL NOTICE.

Parties desiring extrnoopies of next Saturday 'a Quarter Wv'$tennlal' and Charity Circus edition of The Mail will please leave orders at the offioe. The edition will be iiwlUHlioO.OOO copies, and requests for extras will be filled in the order received.

THK president is at Qray Gables with his physician and detectives Mr. Cleveland must be having a sorry time of it in his alarm lest his life may be out abort. He has bad the detectives with him constantly for several months, and his movements are kept secret so far as it is possible t%do so.

THK international bimetallists are still talking ahqrn how nicely the disparity between the values of xilver and gold will be adjustediWheu tha International agreement becomes effective, but they are not making any diagram of the room in which any such agreement is likely to be drawn up. The international blmetallist is, nine times out of ten, a dodger or an ignoramus on the silver question. He deserves a place alongside the man who is in favor of compulsory arbitration. '?!'''4:'

GOVKRNOB AIYTGKLD has called the Illinois legislature to meet in extra ses •ion because he thinks there are about a dozen laws the legislature neglected to, pass. Under the constitution of the atate the legislature can aot upon no subject not mentioned in the call for tbp extraordinary session, ft In not probable that the legislature will do much more than the governor wants do jj^th*n it did at the regular session. isnH hi" kind of a legislature, and that doesn't necessarily mean that it is a ^at-class

body of lawmakers.

AGAIN a jury has given damages against Russell Sage^M? favoj- of fals clerk, LaiUlaw, this titbe for $40*000. Laidlaw is the man whom Sage pushed in front of himself to bear the brunt of the dynamite explosion at ibe time the Boston crank tried to kill the old specu lator. The clerk was badly injured and thought Sage ought to pay for this extra service, and two juries have agreed with him in that view. If rich speculators are to be made to pay extra money for this sort of extra services enforced from their hirelings, why not for all other services hazardous to the soul as well as to the body.

A CINCINNATI municipal reform organization has decided that it can do nothing In that city and has wound up its affairs. Mr. Julius Dexter, who has long stood for all that is progressive and high standard in munioipal affairs in that city, and who was the president of tbe organization, says that there is a lack of funds and no conditions to stimulate reform. That is the story everywhere except in New York and Chicago .where the need of reform had become so much more apparent. The truth is that the people in oities do not objeot to loose methods in their municipal affairs until the lawlessness and corruption become utterly unbearable.

ALREADY a case of foreign diplomacy has arisen whioh may give the new secretary of state an opportunity to assert some of that American doctrine with which be is said to be imbued and which was going to save tbe Cleveland administration from the disgrace of the "policy of infamy." The, .(Germans are trying to take from Yeuex^ela on the pretext of a debt some pf the territory of the republic and Mr. Olney is expected to tell Germany that this would be in violation of the Monroe ^Potrine. In other words if Germany should 4° what is portending then Uncle Sam will be ooustrained to look upon the act as distinctly hostile to himself.

Arm a time it will be xealised that for his feme as an American.* soldier, jurist and statesman it was best that Secretary Gresham died in offloe. Thee public funeral and all accessories magnified his reputation* The writers of his eulogies are not restraining thefr pergonal admiration of the mm in tell ing of his greatness. Perhaps these never was so muoh unfounded praise for a public man. The general public has been led to believe that all that was brave In war, tftse in the law and great in statecraft was embodied in this man with a remarkable personal following. There must have been something in his personality that made Una strong,with his friends to the degree thM they were blind to his most glaring shortcomings as a public official. This personality not only Impressed thoee that oaroe in personal contact with him, bu: the read Ing public as well, until the popular*® preesfon of the man was sueb as his de voted personal friends received. One

the moefrnotablo instances of this per* sonal worship was found in one of Kate Field'® letters the other day in which she spoke of him a* "a jurist who never wan reverted." As a matter of faot every 6m of the seven jasen carried up to the supreme court at Washington from his deoision on the circuit bench was reversed by the higher oourt, and it so happened that all seven were decided while he was in Washington as seore tary of state.

JBRRY SIMPSON is making free silver speeches in Kansas. He says: (,I am ont for a month to raise all the hell I can. I have hired a boy in my place on the farm and I am going to have ail the fun can." That is a oommendable declaration of purpose in life for a publio man. There is a suspicion that Jerry Simpson has been having about as muoh fun as the people have had out of his experience in public life and that besides he made a good deal of money while the fun was most hilarious, not that he made it corruptly, but that he utilized his prominence as a "sockless 8tat«-manM—and he never was even Bookless, not to speak of how, far short he fell of being a ntatesma^—tu h«!1 hi appearanoe before crowds of hl*t amused fellow countrymen Jerry hopes there will be another upheaval that will throw him on top again, and his announcement that he is going to have a whole lot of fun may ba accepted a9 an indication of his confidence in being able ttf resurrect himself.

COMMANDER IDB, of the U. 8. Alert has been summarily removed from his command, on the strength of charges made by Admiral Meade, who went into retirement recently with a letter of oensure from the president. From all reports the admiral is

hard man to get

along with" and the probably is that this charge against Commander Meade grows out of some personal quarrel. A* to the admiral's rebuke by tbe president, however, there was no manner of reason why it should have been inflicted. The admiral was quoted in an interview as saying he had disagreed with tbe policy of this administration whioh he had a perfect right to do and say. The provision against a subordinate oriticislng his superior means only as to the acts of the superior in regard to duties which the subordinate is called upon to perform. It would be a humiliation and disgrace if an officer of the navy or army might not speak his opinion of the policy of an administration. The logic of that "oqntaction jjfould deprive, him of th(* righted .vote. .ior a change hi Jibe admin istration. 4-JW* 54

IN one sense tbe'.decision of the Illinois Supreme court against tbe whiskey trust seems to be a parody on justice.! It 1s the one trust in the country whose purpose to restrict trade arouses no adverse publio sentiment but it is the only trust the courts have decided Was an illegal combination. Other combinations in restraint of trade escape judioial displeasure and even the interstate commerce law has been deoided to be ineffective except to send railroad strikers to jsil, HOtnething never suggested aa be ing part of its province when it

was-

pushed in response to a demand for a law to prevent discrimination by railreads in favor of large shippers. It is a significant faot, too, that the whiskey trust deoision is by a state court whereas all other decisions permitting trusts to escape the penalty of the laws were by federal oourts. Another peouliar faot in regard to the Illinois decision is that It pleases ail the interests quarreling for the possession and control of the trust property. Tbe Greenbut people are satisfied and so are the other stockholders. They are pleased because tbe decision will give eaob side, from its own point of view, a better opportunity to grab the property. In short, the only decision adverse to a trust is one that really conserves no publio good and which is a help to the trust speculators. It is this remarkable fact that will make publio sentiment more and more distrust the oourts as a means of upholding the will of the people as expressed in their laws.

INDIANAPOLIS is once more excited because people in the state outside of that city will insist that tbe oapital oity Is determined to gather in all tbe Hoosler money that oan be obtained by reason of being tbe oapital oity. There was complaint that some of the delegates to tbe recent State Sunday School convention were not received and entertained as they bad aright to expect. The News is indignant because it has been said that Indianapolis is "hoggish." The News says it has frequently alluded to the unoharitable way In which the newspapers of tbe state allude to people and events at Indianapolis. It is

wQ&i

wretohed

spirit of detraction," says the News and then comments in charming innooenoe "How it takes its rise and why itshould be persisted In, we oannot reasonably acidbant for." A very large majority of the people of New York oannot understand why it Is that people in the west shttald now deny to New York all that she has been taking as hers as a matter of oourse and they ridicule tbe idea that tbereean possibly bean other oity where an $ of the country's business might be transacted. Indianapolis feels the same way as fo the state. It does not realize that ttxtditlons have changed since everyone looked upon the capital city as being the only oity in the state to be ooosldered la connection with state affairs or state pride. The News' attitude of Innocent quandary recalls the remark by Charles Reade—and we douH mean to quote it In an offensive sense, because the News gives rise to a feeling of amusement rather tfcan bitterness. Charles Reade made one of tbe oharsoters in a novel say that the "worst kind of a damned ass is tbe damned sss who doesn't know he is a damned asa."..
