The ceremonies over the body of Archbishop
Hughes will be considered by many non Cath
olics as emnently fitting tributes to his mem
ory. John Hughes was probably the greatest
Romar Catholic prelate this country has pro-
duced. Strongly set in his own particular
pbase of religious belief, this never interfered
with his devotion to his country or his fellow
cirizens of whatever faith. He was brave
and loyal. The citizens OF New York
regard his memory with respect and affection
III for no other reason, for his efforts to con-
troll the lowest elements of the city during
the draft riots. The services OF the Arch
bishop to the Union cause in the war were also
conspicuous and efficient, and should cause his
name to DO held long in the grateful memory OF
his countrymen.

Tho Battle nIahone Is Fighting.


Some republicans have boon little luke.
warm in regard to the political contest in
Virginia because they are not admirers of
Senator Mahono. 1t is not our purpose at
this time to enter upon defense of Mr.. Ma
hone, although great many favorable con-
sdcrations can be cited by dispassionato
judge to sustain the distinguished Virginian's
career But we are reminded that, while Mr..
Malone is fighting the battle for q FREQ vote
and free schools and for modern progress, his
northern critics arc free from all cares and
rcsponsibility of that sort. Wo have to
be vigiant against tho corrupt use
OF money in elections by the demo.
Gratis, but we know not what IL is to
face the shotgun and revolver. Occasionally
some poor workingman may lose his place,
because his vote is not for sale or ut anothcr's
command, but he quickly gets another posi-
tion, aud in the same neighborhood and with
an abundance of public sympathy. Not so
with the poor negro, who lives in II commu-
nifty that Is practically solid in its political
organization. Woe be to him il he does not
his masters bidding. His scant wages soon
tako wings. and he has no certainty of en-
rloyment, IL dismissed for political reasons.
The cause that turns him out of
one field or shop will keep
him out of others. That patriotism, there
fore, is not very deep nor far reaching that
proposes to quarrel with Con. Malone be-
cause he may not in every detail bo in har-
mony with the views of northern republicans
Tho gallant fight he has made and is making
for the freedom of the ballot and for all poit-
ical rights in Virginia Is one that is deserv-
ing of the strongest moral support. Veteran
republicans will call to mind tho squoamish-
ness oil somo of the early opponents of
slavery because certain aboitionists wero
not Christians" or because tho re-
publican party first contentcd itself with
simply opposing the extension OF slavery, or
because Abraham Lincoln dill not proclaim
emancipation before the times were ripe for
it. Great political movements do not culmi-
nao in u day. There arc successive stages,
AMI it i'll requites tho services of public men
in the several stages to taunt them with not
iIcaiizing the standard of perfection. Abra-
ham Lincoln was not perfect, but hu was
grlad step in tho right direction. Gen.
Malone may not represent all the
ASPIRATIONS of tho republican party,
but he certainly has done good
work in American politics in helping to
break up that bane and blot upon our history,
the solid South. What he has done cannot be
unlonc. The blood of Danville only empha-
sia. it, His work of political regeneration
will endure, and tho coming years will accord
q due mead of praise for his part in struggle
tha; means tho political and commercial re-
generation of the South.

The Sen Serpent Again.

Capt. w. L. Green, keeper of the life say.
ing station at Long Branch, N. j., reports to
the general superintendent of tho service,
under date of Nov. "a, that five of his crew
who were fishing in tho ocean few days be-
fore, saw o hidden sea serpent short dis.
tance from their boats. According to the
story told by the crew. "the serpent was fully
ninety or one hundred feet long, and thirty
feet wide, and we did not sec his ontire
length" They also say that there were
two blow holes, about nine feet long and two
feet wide about twenty feet from the end OF
the nose. The body was black. the head
short and near the nose were two stubby
horns" Capt. Green adds that the serpent
was also seen from the station, making It's
appearance on tho surface at intervals of ten
minutes He closed his report with th Q re-
mark that "this is the truth"

The Square Issue.

Already it is seen that in the north tho
mo.ning of Mr.. Carlisle's election is fully
comprehended. For him as an individual
nothing but respectful words are heard. But
1t il plain that in the manufacturing states of
the north his election is taken, and will con-
tinue to be taken, as direct menace. AL
ready from tho centers of industry notes of
alarm are being heard. They will find their
reflex in the breasts of thousands Of working
mca in every state of the north, and later at
the ballot box in 1884
Tho north believes in protection. In the
south the same belief is gaining ground at
few points where manufactures are being
established, but the south, as u rule, is free
trade. Tho day will come when she win be
as strongly protectionist as the north, but
this will only happen when the growth of
manufacturing industries opens the eyes of
her people to their true interests. In the
meantime the south remains essentially agri-
cultural, and her people rs mass, from the
leaders down, are inoculated with free trade
theories that arc directly antagonistic to
the mass of opinion in the north.
Tho south being now in supreme
control of tho house, and believing
thoroughly that the tariff should bo abol-
ishcd for all but revenue purposes, will insist
upon legislation in the direction of her be-
lief. Tho Galveston News speaking of this
subject in a lato issue, says: "The country is
alive to tho necessity of tariff reform, and if
the democratic majority in the house refrain
from opening the question and moving in
the direction of remedial legislation, it is
safe to say that many years will elapse before
the democrats will have u chance to elect
another speaker"
This may bo considered temperate pro-
sortation of the essence of southern thought
on this subject. Some of their members,
brought face TO face with northern feeling,
may at present wish to refrain from tariff
LEGISLATION for prudential reasons but they
will have to yield to the home power that
sent them here. The north recognizes this
instipctively, and is already preparing to
wage conflict in defense of the instrument
talties that have made her great, wealthy,
and prosperous.
The southern democracy have no compre-
hcnsion of northern feeling on this subject.
Their agricultural products are without the
pressure of foreign competition, and they
look upon tho protection that has been the
yery life Of the diversified industries of tho
north as q hateful bar to the cheap products
of the pauper labor Of Europe.
The north knows that millions of her
people mako their living through tho avenues
Afforded by her industries. She has seen
tbom grow under the republican policy of
protection until she is treadiug close upon
tho heels of England in the value and extent
of her manufactured products. Her farmers
redoanizo the fact that the myriads employed
in the factories and mines absorb nearly all
thS product Of their broad acres. Her mer'
chlnts and capitalists know that the millions

of money disbursed weekly to her wage work.
ers are the very foundation of their pros.
perity. And among nearly oil engaged in
her many branches of manufacture and COM
merce thero is little divergence of belief as to
tho necessity of protection to American in
dustry.
The north, patient and tolerant Of many
evils at the south that she is willing to be-
liovc time will eradicate, will not shrink from
the coming southern free trade crusade. I'm
der the banners of tho republican party she
will confront and overthrow the doctrinaires
and Calhounists of tho south. Her toilers,
feeling their homes and their livelihood as
sailed, will not fail to know and support tho
party that has ever boen faithful to the main
tenance and elevation of tho laboring man.
Tho north will meet and crush the southern
anti-tariff theories at tho ballot box, as effect
ually as it crushed tho southern state rights
theories through more cruel agencies.

1t is not pretended that all tho solid and
prominent business firms in the city havo
places in this array; We could not reach
every one; and q number that we did find
either were not ready or politely declined to
avail themselves of our space at this time.
We hope to be able hereafter to display their
'avors to their own advantage and that of the

But while we in Justice qualify our asscr-
ton in regard to the names that appear on
this page to-day, we claim for them, ono aud
ALL that they arc distinguished for enter
prise, ability, probity, and success. They are
foremost bankers, merchants, manufacturers,
lawyers, &c, and taken together, they may
fairly be regarded as leaders in tho different
departments of commercial, industrial, and
professional activity.
As u whole we regard it as particularly
good advertisement to our city at large, and
present it to our readers, satisfied that it will
speak for itself and make apparent its own

SOJOURNER TRUTH.
The Way She Made sinners SIT Down I'm
Abolition Meetings.
Boston Herald.


Among the many interesting "reminiscences OF
the life of sojourner Truth, one by veteran aboli
zionist now living in Boston is not the least char
acleristic. He was present at an abolition meeting
in an orthodox church in Ohio one Sunday before
the war; when Parker Plllsbury was delivering
one of his savage invectives against slavery from
the text; "The United States constitution is O
covenant with the devil and ali agreement with
hell" During the address there arose thunder
Storm and peal after peal came in rapid success
sion, shaking the beams of the crazy wooden edi
flee. Finally an aged bunker rose from his seat
and, buttoning up his coat, shouted that the
storm was judgment of God against such bias
phemous ut,erauces and started to go out Mr..
Plllsbury paused, but Sojourner was upon her
feet in an instant. Pointing her skinny black
lorefngcr ut the retreatng man, she said: What
you afraid of God Almighty You, poor, insig.
nillcant coward, afraid of Jehoyahl Why, bless
yer dear little soul, God Almighty never hcern
tell on YER" The sinner sat down and the address
proceeded without further interruption.

OLD TIME "REMINISCENCES,
And How the Capitol Pillars Wcro Taken
Up the Hill.

Among the "reminiscences read before tho
Oldest Inhabitants association yesterday was
one which stated that on July 1, 1926, the
postofiice department paid one Julius Quit eau
$272.45 for prosecuting Otis Freeman and n
certain PutLam, for plundering the mail in
1925.
Another reminiscence relates how negro
workman outplanned many white men when
tho portico of the east front of the capitol
was being constructed. The large pillars mr.
rived at the Baltimore and Ohio depot, and
were conveyed up the hill on large wagon
drawn by six horses, assisted by twelve men.
Finally Moses, colored laborer, who had
watched the tedious and dangerous opera
tion for some time, offered to the contractors,
Provost, Winters q Co., to undertake
the transportation Of tho pillars at
one-bslf what tho work was costing
them. His proposition was agreed to, and
Moses procured two horses two men, and a
strong chain, and went to work ON the prn-
ciple Of 'log rolling" which ho had learned
in the country. A post was planted ahead,
the chain attached to it and wound around
the pillar, tho other end being hitched to the
horses. BY this means the pillars were rolled
up the hill to the capitol with ease, and the
contractors declared that "Moses had more
sense than all of u.s."
