MORE or CRENITION.

The end Of cremation il not yet. as il APP
peais DR.. lie MOync showed his shrcWdnoss
last week IN conducting n reform by refusing
to admit the public to the incarceration Of Mrs,
Ptman. We knew that 10 man of decent feel
ing, and asSuredly 10 sensitive woman, would
be willing that the final disposal of their dead
should furnish forth 4 rarcc show to the coun-
try such as was seen in the cremation of De
Palm. The burning OF Mrs. Pitman was in all
essentials more private than the majority of
funerals. Since it has taken place, DR.. lie
Moyno has received applications from New
England Baltimore, Philadelphia, and differ
ent points in the West, for permission to ere
mate bodies in his furnace The great objection
in many minds to this mode Of disposal of the
dead would be removed if it could be made
strictly private The Doctors reply to such
applicants has been, we believe, advice to COM
binc and build crcmatoiy furnaces.
The cost of his own (Which is a private One)
is stated not to have Overrun $1,000, which
would be covered by the expense of transport
inc half Cozcn bodies to and from Washing
ton, with their attendants. believers III Gre
nation in Cincinnati are busy in projecting
magnificent cemetery iii the suburbs OF the
CITY, and there are others of more modest
dimensions contemplated in different parts of
the country. Whether these plans will come
to actual brick, mortar and combustion or not,
remains to be seen. There can be no doubt,
however, that as soon as there Is q sufficient
demand for furnaces by dead Americans there
will be supply of them by the living. Burn
ing the dead is just as honest way of turn
ing an honest penny as burying them, and
whenever it promises to pay "a well, there
will be plenty of professional cremators.
Dr.. Lie Moyne. who is not cremator, but

reformer in the grain, could commend his
system to the public with force and direct
ness which he has not yet given it if he would
not SO sedulOusly rob it of all appearance OF
sOlemnity, reducing it to mere sclentlilc
process. The majority of people are not SCI
entifc-not even refOrmers they are simple,
commonplace folk, with whom the emotional
nature is stirred to it's depths by the
death of friend, and who find con-
ISOLATION in the prayers and hymns at
the grave, in the planting of flowers over IT,
in every simple sign of tenderness and hohor
which they can pay to the poor empty Douy'
All this probably seems but trivial weakness
to the Doctor and those who stand on MS
level but 1t is weakness which has belonged
to human nature in every age-to patrlarchs'
prophets and pagars-and he is not going TO
root it out. He will not bring the American
public to his level on this matter, and it is
not at all necessary for his purpose that ne
should do so. All that he requires is that the
unwholesome dead should be removed by
clean and swift process, for the sake or the
health of the living. Whether the living
choose to mourn for them or to sing hymns at
the funeral pyre, ought to have nothing TO do
with the question.
There has been little to attract the mass
of the people in the two cremations when
have already been made. There was twang
of charlatanry in all that concerned poor DE
Palm and his TheosOphic clan, with winch
the public had long been familiar; and there
is a dramatic posing, contempt of conven-
tionalites, in the liberal school to which the
late subject belonged, which draws upon 1t
equally the preiudices of ordinary people. 1t
is ordinary people vino must be cremated II
any Theosophists and Liberals are few Ill
number. Let DIR. lie Moyne permit body
to be placed in his retort with the soemnlty,
the religious observance which would attend
its burial in the ground, and he will Overturn
as by assault the prejudices of the mass OF
the people, without whose support his pro-
jected reform must end in failure.

POLITICAL NOTES.

| VIII Congress be led by the President OF by dem
| agOguesl
The unlimited silver agitator is poorly disguised
| communist.
A veto loud enough TO wake the public conscience
is the only one likely to do much good.
If Mr.. Tilden would come out in brief card he
might prevent the splling of valuable blood. He is
the Only man who can calm Watterson now.
The communistic platform of the National Green
back party is simply a forecast of the future plat
form of the silver party provided it is allowed to
run its natural cOnrse
Simmons expects to be put out of his agony at the
Cabinet meeting, tomorrow. The chances are
thought to be that he will be thrown upon the cold
world embittered with the terrible sentence that
even repentance does not always save.
The silver agitator has invented a new name for
his pet For time it was the dollar of the fathers,
apparently so-caed because the fathers unable
to get sight of it till they died. Now 1t is hailed
as the " big white dollar" A more accurate and
striking name would be the " big white lle."
The Grcenbackers are anxIous to make this coun-
try close corporation for labOrers. They want the
workingnan to toll as few hours day as possible,
to have q share in the profits of his employer. to
have leisure for self-education. and to be guarded
against competition by the prohibition of all imn-
grafton having tendency to cheaper labor. Inc
completion of a paradise for the Of toll, after
this model, would be coincident with the bank
ruptcy of the country.
Mr.. Hendricks has been received into the Ohio in
lation ranks with unboundcd enthusiasm. For years
he has lowered about on the outside of that fold
trying to creep in, but every time he approached be
received onya gibe and request to take himself OIL
Now the highpriest of the order of the ragbaby The
Cincinnati Inquirer itself extends him the right hand
of fellowship. and tells him Ohio and Indiana are
henceforth in harmony. The beautiful observation
is also made that the hrengs of British capitalists
in the East will begin to "denOunce Tom Hen
bricks as "a swindler and a rcpudator." There
doesn't seem to be any necessity for it, lie Is de-
nOuncing himself pretty thoroughly now.
Stanley Matthews Is the inventor of the notion
that the President could let the Silver Bill be-
come a law by allowing the legal number of
days to pass without signing it. He has
abandoned this plan for making the President
contemplate, for another which is certainly no
more complimentary to Mr.. Hayes. He says that if
Secretary Sherman will only say to the President
when the bill comes before the Cabinet: " II is
less to kick against the prlcks the b Is bound TO
become law and il is wiser to let II become so at
once" he thinks the President would not veto it.
That Is giving the President credit for good deal of
mental capacity of his own!

swear they will not keep quiet. If the discussion
Is continued, if additional legislation is attempted
there can be no stability of values and no improve

agement of its affairs by able, prudent and honor
able men," The continuance Of such good manage

A PROSPEROUS PEOPLE.

The colored people of Georgia are
represented as. being the most indus.
trious and thrifty of their race in the
south. They pay less attsntion to
politics and devote more time to labor
than in any other Southern State.
There are 84.164 colored voters in
Georgia. and they own 457 ,635 acres of
land valued ON the tax listat 81 s244, l04.
and city property taxed at 81. l99.725.
Their household goods are valued at
$486, 1885,, their horses. mules. cattle
hogs and sheep, at $24l. LOG, and their
agricultural implements at. $l25 ,l20.
They have in bank. 500, ,699, and in
other property not enumerated. S..
100000. Theis prosperous coalition
in Georgia israitributed to the fact that
the State has-bssn comparatively free of
the carpet bag element which engen-
dered discomfort among their race in
Nher Southern States, and induced
them TO devote, the greater part of their
time to politics instead of making
homes for themselves and families.
