Senator Morton.

The Inter Ocean of the eth says:
Senator Morton passed through this
city yesterday, en- route for Washing
ton, via his home at Indianapolis He
has found the climate of California of
great benefit. and appears to be much
improved in health. Upon his arrival
at the capital he will at once assume
his place and duties in the Senate.
The Republican party needs the coun.
sells and labors OF the great Indiana
Senator. And when we say the Re-
publican party we mean equally the
country, for We regard the ascendancy
of the one as essential to the prosper
ity of the other. the insidious plead
ings of expediency are creeping into
the counsels of the Republican party,
and unless promptly arrested they will
prove fatal to its integrity, and conse-
quently to its continued ascendency.
The reflection that the downfall of the
Republican party will assuredly wit
ness the rise to power of the Democ-
racy is sufficiently alarming to demand
prompt action with a view to avert
such a calamity During its entire
history the Republican party has new
er won a victory by the cry of expedi-
ency. Its watchword has been, and
must continue to be, "The right for
rights own sake" Senator Morton
will have an opportunity this winter
to make his voice heard in favor of a
return to those policies which made
the Republican party great in its in
fancy. Moral principle rules the Re
publican party, and We look to see
Senator Morton awaken the con-
science OF the country to the pressing
needs of the hour.

Shipments Of Firearms to Europe.

Shipments of firearms and ammuni-
ton from the United States to Europe
are constant, and on scale of mag
nitude that would excite surprise
could the facts be known Scarcely
week passes that large quantities of
hollow ware are not quietly put
aboard ship, appearing in the manifest
as nothing more than so many cases"
These shipments for the most part are
installments forwarded from the
American manufacturer in execution
OF orders given, perhaps, years ago.
1t is, therefore, very natural, when
anybody hears about so many thou
sand guns. pistols, or cartridges going
off. to imagine that there is something
in the wind. The inference is that
there must be fillibuster expedition
fitting out, or that some European
power is about to swoop down unsus-
pectingly on a victim. The fact is,
that for the last seven years, or say
since Russia made her contract for
Colonel Berdan rifles. United States
arms have been growing in favor.
American skill in this department cf
industry is everywhere acknowledged.
just now there is quantity of pistols
$50, 900 worth-going out by the
steamer Silesia, destined for St. Pc
tersburg via Hamburg, as the entrance
to the Black Sea, the more natural
route, is now probably frozen. This
shipment, it should be understood. is
a mere bagatelle in the entire lot.
There is also large order for Turkey
in process of execution, the contract
being reported at something like 60O,-
900 of the Peabody Martini rifles.
This latter we believe is the largest
contract ever given to our arms manu-
rers, and speaks well for American
enterprise. The ammunition for these
arms is of itself formidable item,

port. American ammunition is no.
toriously the best in the world, for
one reason-that there is no copper

In view of that school decision of
the Indiana Supreme Court, we fear
Governor Hendricks will find it diff
cult to preserve peace between his
State and the United States. The de-
cision holds that as none but whites
were citizens when the present constr.
tuition was adopted, and as the public
schools provided thereby were exclu-
sively for the citizens, ergo the colored
children have no right to them.
The case will 60 to the United
States Supreme Cortland its decis-
ion be reversed there. Indiana has
the right to provide separate schools
for blacks and whites, as she did by
the act of 1869. But in localities
where no separate schools are provid-
ed, the cO)ored children should have
the same rights as the white, and WILL
have them.
If the provisions of a State Consti-
tuition take precedence of the Four
teenth Attachment, as held BIZ the
Democratic Judges OF the Supreme
Court Of Indiana, the decision must
rest on the State Rights doctrine,
which makes the State superior to the
Nation. or else upon the ground that
the Fourteenth Amendment is not
valid as part of the Federal Constitu-
ton. To set up any other plea for
such decision is the merest pettifog-
ging. The fact of the prior adoption
Of the Indiana State Constitution has
nothing to do with the case. Such a
bubble might occur to shyster as an
argument to convince a Magistrate
Court, but the most illiterate Justice
of the Peace would hardly be caught
in that way. The Supreme Bench OF
Indiana, however, seems tu think the
people can be deluded by this ridicu-
lous pretext. The case will 60 to the
Supreme Court Of the United States

S4S9, 93S,2S4, and surplus of SIPS,
364.O39, declared dividends OF S24,-
926,3O7, or sos per cent. on capital,
and 403 per cent. on capital and
surplus. This would be fraction
over 10 per cent year on the
capital invested, which is certainly
nothing wonderful. English banks
do better than this. For the six
months ending June 20, 1874, four
banks in the city of London declar
ed dividends at the rate of 20 FER
cent. year, and two at the rate OF
10 per cent, and the proportion OF
net profits to capital of the ieading
banks of that city for the year
ending July 1, 1874, was II per
cent. Four of these banks-the
London and Westminster, the
London Joint Stock, the London
and County, and the Union-have
been paying 20 per cent yearly
since 1871, and the London Joint
Stock earned 25 per cent. in 1878,
the London and Westminster "a
per cent. and the London Joint
Stock also earned 25 per cent. in
1872, and 25 Sc per cent. in 1871.
In the light of these figures the
dividends of our national banks do
not seem too great.
The profits of national banks
vary in different parts of the coun
try. In Idaho, for the six months
ending September l, 1874, the
average dividends of the banks
were 20 per cent; in Colrado and
Nebraska, II per cent. In the
older States the dividends for this
period range from 80 per cent. II
Missouri, to 9.3 per cent. in Texas
The average rate in Indiana was

per cent. year.-Indianapolis

Iron was never adequately protected
until 1924, which was supplemented
by comprehensive and allied protec-
ton in 1928. The influence of our
tariff legislation upon the domestic
production of iron from that date for
ward is thus outlined by Henry G..
Carey in his Harmony of Interests: !"
In 1910, the whole number of fur
naces in. the Union was 1913, yielding
81, 100 tons of metal, equal to Is
pounds per head of the population.
In 1921, the manufacture was in a
state ofruin.
In 1923, the product had reached
10000 tons, having little more than
doubled in eighteen years.
In 1S49, it was $4,000. Increase in
one year nearly ten per cent.
In 1880, 165, 900. Increase in two
years more than twenty-five per cent
In 1881, it was 191, 900. Increase
in three years about fifty per cent.
In 1892, it was 100000, giving an
increase in four years of above sixty
per cent.
In 1910, the quantity given by the
census was 5000, but committee
of the Home League, in New York,
made it BAT 200 tons Taking the me
dunn of the two, it would give about
315,OOO tons, being an increase in
eight years Of fifty per cent.
In 1912, a large portion of the fur
naces were closed, and the product
had fallen to probably little more than
100000, but certainly less than 23O, 900
tons.
In 1916, it was estimated by the
Secretary of the Treasury at 765, 600
tons, having trebled in four years.
In lS47, it was supposed to have
reached the amount of not less than
100000 tons.
In 1913. it became stationary.
In1849 many furnaces being already
closed, the productions of the present
year { Mr.. Carey was writing in 1949)
cannot be estimated above $4,000
tons; but from the accumulation of
stock and the difficulty of selling it, il
is obvious that the diminution next
year will be greater.
This statement shows that the do
mestic production of iron advanced
under protection, and declined under
partial free trade.

The venerable Peter Cooper, Of New
York, has published letter on the
financial situation, in which, after
discussing our present evils and their
origin, he passes to speak of the RENEE
dy. Under this head he has the fol.
lowing wise and timely remarks:
There is nothing that will revive
the fallen prosperity of our country
and enable people to pay their city.
town and national debt but wisely
and we'll arranged revenue tariff. 1t
is the only means that will enable us
to pay the nations debts. This was
made clear by events that took place
in our own country between the year
1884 and the year 1912, when our
tariff, which had just paid off our old
national debt, was then'repealed. By
this repeal our mills were stopped, as
they are now; our furnaces closed;
lands fell to half price; the Sheriff was
at work; States repudiated their debts;
the United States was unable to bor-
row money at home or abroad, and
bankrupt laws were passed by Con-
gress. The tariff system was again
tried in 1912, and liz less than five
years the production of our country in
iron alone rose from 1900 to 5000
tons; prosperity became universal, and
the public revenues greater than ever.
In 1916 the free trade policy was
again tried by repeating the tariff, and
notwithstanding the enormous amount
of gold found in California, money
was as high as ever; iron came in and
gold went out. In 1857 the culmina-
ton was reached, and crises of ruin
came on, when the treasury was nearly
bankrupt. In three years immigra-
ton fell below the number that ar
rived twenty eight years before. The
results of the two systems will re
clearly seen by following the tariffs of
1910, 1923, and 1861, when labor was
we'll paid, money plenty, and immigra-
ton great. We cannot too carefully
contrast the prosperity that has uni :
formly followed the tariff policy of
our country, in comparison with the
frightful consequences Of an approach
to free trade, as they appeared in 1917,
1884, and 1857. when labor was i'll
paid, money scarce, immigration de-
clining, and bankrupts were numbered
by thousands

The following is brief outline of
President Grants message:
The condition of the South is dis
cussed at length. Great kindliness of
feeling is manifested toward the
Southern white people. but the disor-
ders and outrages which have dis
graced that section recently are dealt
with unsparingly; and the declaration
is made that the results of the war as
embodied in the constitutional amend
ments and reconstruction acts must
and shall be preserved. The action
of the administration in regard to
Louisiana is defended, and the Ar
kansas case is delegated to Congress.
The resumption of specie payment is
urged in strong terms, but no time is
recommended tor the Inauguration of
the experiment. The repeal of the
legel tender act is not recommended,
but its consideration is urged; author
ity for the Secretary of the Treasury
to raise gold upon the sale of bonds is
asked. On the subject of the tariff
the President puts himself squarely
on the platform of protection. The
Virginus settlement is announced az
progressing satisfactorily. On the
subject of Cuban affairs the message
is exhaustive. Very emphatic Ian.
guage is used in condemnation of the
cruelties practiced on the island, and
it is declared that civilized nations
cannot4longer observe silence and in
action ia the presence OF such barbar.
tiles.

School Trustees. Brazil is town Of
about 1000 inhabitants, on the Van.
dalia Railway. sixteen miles east of

who attend school there, thirty Tive

cradle noise was raised by some thin
skinned ones, who did not wish to
send their children to school with ne
groes. That subsidized, however, and
it was thought that there was no more
to be said about the matter. But day
before yesterday the Trustees, D.
Bridges, E. S. Hussy, and William
Torbert, promulgated an order to the
effect that no colored children should
be allowed to remain longer in the
schools. Principal Wilkcson evaded
the order as long as possible, but the
Trustees told him he must execute it
or loose his place. The teachers OF
the respective rooms were informed
that they must dismiss their colored
scholars, which they did to the mum

Bismarck is not more famous for
his vigorous craftsmanship than for
his bold, blunt, and startlingly plain
forensic utterances. If eloquence
consists in the power of speech to
produce its effect, the sturdy Chancel
lor has no historical superior in
Europe. His style is muscular and
unadorned simplicity; it is massive in
its overpowering strength, in its
sledge hammer method of enforcing
policy or crushing opposition. Nor
do the advance of years and repeated
attacks of illness seem in the least to
diminish the iron pertinacity of his
will the defiant and arrogant boldness
and belligerency of his harangues.
Monday nights cable dispatches give
us the text of speech which bristles
with all the old, fierce pugnacity, all
the old energy of expletive and out
spoken denunciatien. The deputies
from Alsace and Lorraine declared
they were opposed to the endowment
OF the University of Strasbourg and
other educational grants, because they
were made for the interests of Ger
many anu uUt IOT tHOSc OI the prov
inces. This reused the Chancellor.
With pregnant simplicity of language,
but defiance in his eye he declared
that the policy begun was to be car
rled out to the bitter end, whether
the conquered people liked it or not.
Growing warm as he proceeded--ior
Bismarck by no means displays the
enforced GOODNESS of Talleyrand-he
told them that his course could not be
affected by reproaches, threats, or
persuasion, and even limited at the
adoption of still more rigorous steps
against an agitation which mis- ht
endanger the peace Of the Empire.
This passage at arms between the
Deputies from Alsace and Lorraine
and Prince Bismarck shows that the
conquered provinces are far from be-
ing reconciled to Germln rule. In
deed, SO long as renewal of the war
with France is one of the possibilities
OF the future this could hardly be ex-
pected, for in the politics of nations
nothing but the inevitable is so soon
acquiesced in-lnter-Ocean.

the Democratic victory he said,
THAT means restoration of my liber
ty and power. the Boss is pretty
good reader of events Within a
month after the election an effort is
made to procure his release on a
writ of habeas corpus, and though
not yet successful the general opin-

soon. The chances are that in less
then six months Tweed will be
once more the ruler of the Democ-
