Gov. Hendricks in his speech at GAINESVILLE
makes desperat3 odort at compromising the
financial issue. lie would have the resump-
ton of specie payments kept steadily in view,
but he would have no measures taken which
would contract the amounts of paper issued, if
any embarrassment to the business OF the
country would be occasioned thereby. This
he thinks sound Democratic view, and he
arraigns the Republican party for creating all
the difficulties of the situation.

Discussing the injustice to authors which the
absence of an international copyright law oc-
casiona, Mr.. Charles Reade in letter which
we publish to-day, goes beyond his wont in
bitter invective. The contrast between the
protection afforded by patent to mechan-
zeal invention and the utter ignoring of right
in the case of literary creation is wildly
drawn. There is less of the dry detail of law
in this letter than in any previous one of the
series, and its fervent words will commend it
to a wide popular consideration.

With tie close Of the Summer vacation, q
statement of the facilities of our public schools,
which will be found in our local columns,
gives timely information. The Compulsory
Education act has not yet fully accomplished
its purpose and there is still evidence that
a large portion Of our juvenile population is
not attending school with regularity. Improve
ment in the methods of enforcing this law is
clearly desirable. The accommodations for an
increased number of children in our public
schools are not, however, such as they should
be. There has been some change for the bet
ter of late, and not little has been done in
the way of painting and renOvating the build
ings in use; but there will still be reason for
the old complaints about crowding and Lack
of ventilation.

Attorney General Pratt comes to the rescue
OF the Canal Board. lie denies that its action
was in violation of law. An explanation OF
the use of old maps is offered, and he thinks
that no new ones were required. Whether
maps were needed or not, it is quite certain
that the Board needs now all that can be done
for it to make its previous course appear
straight,

The proceedings yesterday at the conference
for promoting emigration to Virginia were ex-
ceedingly interesting. The movement may be
regarded as a sequence to the Bunker LII
Centennial celebration. That gave some emf
nent Virginians an opportunity to learn the
feelings of the North toward the South. They
return the compliment by urging us to learn
something more about their people as well as
abouttheir fertile valleys that are lying waste
for want of men and means.

The Chinese Regency has decided to send
another Embassy to Western nations, IN
charge this time of Mr. Hart, an lrishman,
who has been some years in the Imperial ser
vice as Collector of Customs. 1t has likewise
resolved to be represented abroad by diplo-
matte agents. All this looks progressive, and
may tend to remove the distrust evinced in
Europe, and especially in Great Britain, where
the policy of the Regency is regarded as both
reactionary and hostile.

The news regarding the instruction in
herzegovina is unfayorable to the insurgents,
but being mainly from Turkish sources, it
needs to be treated with reserve. 1t is, how
ever, a substantial gain for the insurgents that
the Sultan promises important reforms, and
that public opinion in England appears to
favor Intervention in their behalf.

SINCE the death of Abraham LincOln
there has probably not been such nan
Hesitation of national sorrow and mourn.
ing As was caused by the announcement,
In the Washing .on dispatches last Mon
day, of the death OF Henry Wilson. As
the announcement had been made few
DAYS previous that he was gradually re-
covering from his illness the news of his
death was unexpected. He was every
where recognized Is q great and good
man, and in bis death the nation justly
mourns the loss Of one of its ablest and
truest counselors. Mr.. Wilson was born
February IL, 1912, at Pennington, New
Hampshire, and was in bis sixty-fourth
year when he died. He was q self.edu.
Gated man, his parents being very poor
he never had the advantages Of school
for more than twelve months during his
life; he obtained his education-or the
foundation for it-while labOring on a
farm and working at the trade Of = shoe
maker. He first took an active part in
politics in 1910, from which time he
steadily advanced till he was reck ,nel
one Of the ablest men of the nation. His
whole life has been an honor to Ameri-
can institutions; his memory will long
be cherished by a grateful people and in
after times he will stand conspicuous
AMONG The illustrious deaf who are
pointed to with pride for emulation.

IT Is now stated that the Pacific dis
aster was caused by the inhuman con-
duct of the captain Of the Orpheus the
ship that collided with tho Pacific. A
sworn statement to this effect has been
made before a Notary Public at Port
Townsend by Cbas. Thompson, one of
the crew Of the Orpheus. He says:
That in raising the lights of the Pacific
he was ordered by the second mate to
head for it, and in few minutes after
the captain came Oh deck and ordered
him to again pat her upon her course /;
about three minutes afterward he was
ordered by the captain to let her lutf,
which he did; after this the captain
signified his intention to speak the
steamer, for which purpose the light was
kept ahead until the two vessels collided;
the steamer followed the ship. the people
on board shouting and calling to the
captain of the Orpheus to stop and res
cue them; but he did not heed their cries
and kept on his course, and the steamer
was soon lost to view.

AMERICAN cotton goods have been
imported into the leading English mar
kets, and it has caused considerable stir
among English manufacturers. The
newspapers. especially those of Manches
ter, say the American goods are superior
to those made in England, the former
being clean, strong and of good body,
vhiie the latter are full of starch and
other foreign substances which are put
in for the purpose Of giving them weight.
American manufacturers can never hope
to send any great quantity of their goods
to England, because they would be
compelled to sell at such prices IS would
lease them no margin, but they will
probably be able to compete successfully
with the English manufacturers in eoun-
sries that look to foreigners for theirsup-
ply Of eostongooda .
