IN be true that the change Of heart
announced in the New York Independ.
ent Is due to the interposition of its
owner, against the judgment and
wishes OF It's editor, the moral effect Of
its abandonment Of Cleveland's cause
will be very slight. When It appeared
that the Rev. Drs. Ward and Twining
had decided that they were mistaken
IN their judgment of the case and felt
compelled to withdraw their support, it
was at least manifest that these two
gentlemen, who had shown such good
Judgment 10 giving Cleveland their sup
port, had more lately betrayed an
in6rmity Of purpose and lack of wisdom
with which hitherto they had not been
credited.
But IL it is true, as now stated by
eminent and well informed authorities,
that Mr.. Bowen, the opulent owner and
thrifty publisher Of the paper, is the
man who sees 1t Ia another light, the
change of mind is not SO hard to ex-
plain. 1t Is true that nearly generation
ago Mr.. Bowen made some reputation by
declaring that while he sold dry goods his
principles were not for sale. But even
then the cause Of his paper was made
more profitable by the departure. With
In more recent period, upon two TO
table occasions-in the matter of the
Northern Pacific railroad and the
attacks on the New York Mutual Life
Insurance company, it was we'll
settled that the business interests
of the publication dominated its editorial
page and inspired its utterauces.
Mr.. Bowen and his paper have got cid
and rich and conservative. We can
easily imagine large class of its readers
ordering it TO be stopped" when it
turned in for Cleveland. That it feared
to lose patronage is quite likely, in view
of the things it has of late done to gain
II. Besides Bowen hates Deecher, and
the fact that his Jete aoir is satisfied with
Cleveland would be almost enough to
keep Bowen eff from him. In any
event the Independent makes rather
humiliatlng exhibition in trying to ex-
tricate itself and talks very much like
a paper in the state Of divided opinion
which is said to exist between the brains
and the purse behind it.

an account, some twelve columns long, of the
battle of Cbickamauga About twenty lines of
the entire account were devoted 10 the nara

perate combat at the close OF the battle in which
George II. Thomas repulsed Longstreets attack

Thomas, Garfield, Wood and Others grouped 10
little hollow in the field for protection from
the rebel shaTpshooters and then peTched on
the limb of dead tree just above them. Here
it sat until the firing ceased, and then few
