DR.. Ely, professor of political economy at
Johns Hopkins University, and two of his ad-
vanced pupils. are soon to begin work on q "His-
tory of American Political Economy"

1t is entitled The San Rosario Ranch"
Mrs. Helen jackson III. H. will write in the
May number of the Century of ''The Women of
the Beehive" meaning the Mormon women,
with whom she feels great sympathy, regarding
them as a conscientious and suffering class
whose religious position has been misunder-
stood.
A remarkable series of letters from Garibaldi
and other Italian leaders is appearing in the
Hamburg papers. They are contributed by
Fraulein Brandt, the daughter of a Hamburg
banker, who left home and dedicated herself to
the cause of Italian unity. She kept up a con.
slant correspondence with Garibaldi, Mazzini
and others prominent in the cause.
Two new serials will begin in the May st.

author will endeavor to treat the question Of
guns for small boys; and the other, 1.-THE

give the world his impressions of the United
States direct; but he proposes putting together
his ideas of Americas giants of thought and
philosophy; and in this way, by reading between
the lines, the world may at least get a glimmer-
ing of what the icicle' critic has to say about
our American cousins
Edward Eggleston is ransacking the private
libraries of Georgia for facts relating to the dis
covery and early settlement of America. His
daughter. Miss allegro Eggleston, who has done
some excellent work in oil painting, is probably
the best wood-carver among American women.
She has recently carved some superb panels rep
re~senting scenes in Millions "Lycidas,p which
will be exhibited this spring at one of the annual
exhibitions.
In the issue of the Current of April 10 will
be begun a short serial entitled ''The Grimms."
1t is based on the incidents of the terrible. Pitts
burg riots of 1877, and not only presents a strong
picture of life and surroundings of the 'mill-
men, y but. from its clear and analytic develop
ment Of character, illustrates that even from
desperate and almost hopeless surroundings
may come brighter and happier conditions. The
story from beginning to end possesses dramatic
excellence, interesting situations, and is inter
woven with humor and pathos.

Grant as a Candidate.

Special to New York Graphic.
Grant and Lincoln have been suggested as a
good presidential ticket, and there is no doubt of
its strength, but the story that there was a COM
bination between Arthur, Edmunds and Logan
to that end was, it is said, put in circulation
here by Mr.. Blaine's friends TO scare over to his
side Of the political pasture some of the old anti
Grant element that is supporting Arthur now.
However much certain pee, 'e would like toasee
Grant renominated, the General himself has no
desire or expectation of being a candidate. He
was talking the other day of this, and said that
he had never yet asked any man to support him
for office or use his influence for his advantage.
Il never sought a place but once" he said;
that was in 81, when [ tried to get back into
the army, and for a time it seemed as if l WASH
going to be successful
1t was suggested that there still remained a
possibility Of his being President again, but he
quietly dissented, and said that he had already
received more honor than he deserved, and he
would not want to stand in the way of other
people who were seeking it and had earned it.

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE.
The Presidential Candidacy.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Jou rnal:
Indiana is claimed to be a Democratic State,
but in the six presidential elections which have
been held, commencing in 1860, it has voted but
once for the Democratic candidates, and that
was for Tilden, in 1876. 1t will always vote for
the Republican when due care is taken to select
a candidate who is in accord with the people,
though the majority may not be large. have
for many years been an observer of political
action, having started out as a follower of Henry
Clay, and the near approach of the Chicago con-
vention must be my excuse for offering some
suggestions. Blaine has had a large following
for ten years who have ardently de-
sired to make him the Republican candidate;
but would it be wise to accede to their wishes@
His admirers compare him to Clay, who sought
the presidency for thirty years, and it must be
confessed there is a striking similitude. Clay
was aggressive and incisive toward his oppo-
nents; so is Blaine. Clay had great personal
magnetism and attracted warm friends, and SO
has Blaine. But here the parallel stops.
Blaine has been in public life less than half
the time served by Clay, and is understood to
have acquired great wealth, while Clay, at the
close of q long life, died poor. People know that
wealth is usually acquired by commercial pur-
suits, but politics is not supposed to be legiti-
matelv a money-making business, and there are
not wanting those who have a suspicion Of evil
practice when wealth Is acquired by those in
public life. 1t is not believed by those who
have carefully studied the question that Blaine
could be elected if nominated. There are at
least two citizens of Indiana much stronger than
he is, and why should our delegates go to Maine
for a candidate when they have better material
at home2
If the Chicago convention shall act with
the wisdom which characterized its predecessor
it will carefully look over the list of names
of such as are not active candidates
for the high Office and nominate some
one who can carry both New York
and Indiana, without whose electoral votes sue
cess is impossible. We must have a candidate
who can command the active support of such
men as Grant and Conkling. The State ticket
in Indiana will depend on the presidential candi-
date, and the Legislature should not be forgot
ten by our delegates. have been of the opin-
ion that the name of General Sherman would
command a more general support among the
people than any other. His name is not mixed
up with the factions which divide the party,
and no nomination would revive the patriotic
memories of the war for the Union equal to his.
The war grew out of the principles upon which
the Republican party was founded, and when
they no longer govern, the mission of the party
will be ended. M. L. BUNDY.

New York Sun.

Many gentlemen entered a room in the base
ment of Clarendon Hall last evening to lock at
Tom Moore's harp, which has been lent by George
Washington Childs, A. NJ. to the Society for the
Preservation of the Irish Language for eXhibi-
ton at their musical festival in Steinway Hall
this evening. Many of the visitors expected to
see a harp similar in size to those manipulated
by wandering Italian musicians. They saw in
stead a little instrument about sixteen inches
high, standing on a desk. 1t is painted green,
and the back is shaped like an Irish round tower.
This inscription is on a brass plate on one side of
the harp: ~. Egan, 30 Dawson street, Dublin.
Harp-maker by Special Appointment. to His
Majesty, George w, and to the Royal Family
The harp was presented to Moore by the citizens
of Limerick, in 1929. Moore's widow gave it to
Mrs. S. c. Hall, whose husband recently pre-
sented it to the great obituary bard. The harp
is made of white sallow. Brian Boru's harp was
thirty two inches high, end was made of red

National Republican.
The scene Of the tragedy, Ford's old theater,
is now occupied as an army medical museum and
branch of the pension Office. The upper stories
are used by the museum authorities and the first
floor as a branch of the pension bureau. In the
latter department nearly one hundred clerks are
employed. TIL interior of the building is dark
and dingy, and in no way adapted to its present
use. 1t has frequently been called the ''Black
Hole of Calcutta" Numerous gas jets are re
quired to give light for the clerks to work during
the day. The ventilation is very imperfect, and
consequently tends to produce sickness. The
dust of nineteen years has settled upon the curl
osities Of anatomy stored in the building, and
the attendant musty doors are almost unbeara-
bic. The building was intended for a theater.
but never for a scientific museum or government
department.
The army medical museum played a rather inn
portant pSrt in the second presidential assassi-
nation as well as the first. The brain of Charles
}. Guiteau was analysed under its roof; his body
was cremated in the cellar: his skeleton is dis
played in one of the cases up stairs, and the skin
Of his head is preserved in a jar of alcohol in one
Of the rooms. The old building has a record Of
gloom attached to its history.

E~x-secretary Sherman on Finance.

NOV I ITTUUUV
I am somewhat surprised that the great fnan
cial men of New York do not seem to appreciate
the changes that may come to the business in
terests Of the country by the quotation some
morning of gold at a premium. and especially
the enormous contraction this would produce by
the sudden demonstration of gold and gold Ger
~tifcates. Whenever the time comes that gold
is quoted at a premium it ceases to be currency
as much as corn or wheat or cotton. 1t becomes
a commodity, like any other commodity, to be
bought and sold at the market price. No man
can estimate the effect of such an enormous
contraction of the current currency, though the
first impression would be that the silver stand
ard, being the cheaper standard, would make
times easier and prices higher. But this view
does not take notice of the contraction of the
currency. The resumption of specie payments
advanced prices and increased the currency. and
made times easier. The characterization of gold
is likely to have the same effect as the use of
deprecated paper money had before resumption.

RICHMOND, Ind, April 10.
General Sherman for President.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Jou rnal:
Is it possible our people have forgotten what
a burden was thrown on Indianians, four years
ago, by 'Blaine, of Maine, - not being able to
carry his own State for the Republican party, at
a time when we thought that defeat in that
State meant defeat all along the linel What
the causes were that brought about the defeat it
is useless to discuss. Whether one or many, one
thing was evident-Blaiue failed to control his
own State. If Indianians can find in that re-
suit anything to encourage them to put him for
ward as standard-bearer their political wisdom
and vision must be far-reaching. Why,
we have three or four men at
home that will do as well as he, and
out at st. Louis is a man once declared crazy,
It's true, yet level headed enough to ''see the
end from the beginning during the late war.
Now here's to General Sherman,
God bless the old hero;
He's an honor to'his country,
A terror TO her foe.
Long may he rest on his laurels
And to the White House go
Next November or the March following
Accompanied by Robert Lincoln"

politics. Here was a man from a State that
could by no possibility be swerved from its
Democracy by any issue, and the other from
the Commonwealth as tenaciously welded to its
Republican idols, and these two fellows were as
siduously engaged in constructing a platform to

How to Run a Ten-Cent Show.

of the opera house at Oneida. A cheap ten

several evenings. For the first night the gallery
was to be ''papered,' and one thousand 'admit
the bearer to the gallery tickets had been given
away. The gallery will seat about $50. While
We were talking the manager of the show came
in and asked that he have the ianitor build a very
hot fire in the furnace about : o'clock in the
evening and see that all the windows and VENT
lators were closed. 1t was a very warm day, and
after he had gone [ asked the purpose of the fire.
Only to roast them out of the gallery. TO get
in below they will have to pay ten cents. was
the reply.

Through Passengers at the Indianapolis
Depot.

The traveller who takes a sleeper at Chicago
for a night ride to Louisville, if he goes by the
Panhandle route. may sleep through Logans-
port and several other points where changes are
made, but the doings at Indianapolis, the long
delay, the noise and hustle. of switching and
and 4 o'clock, for getting through that thriving
city, will wake the soundest sleeper and quite
break up any passenger who requires quiet or
the soothing power of constant motion for his
rest. If in addition to the outside disturbance
there happen to be inside a party out of which
one woman leaves at that point, then the
destruction of repose is made complete by the
calling of one to another to be up and dressed,
by the fond farewell of women and children and
natural and very proper in their way, but a tor.
ture dire in a sleeping-car before the third hour
of the morning. Howells little drama is
brought to mind, but seems far less laughable
than when read in broad daylight.

submission. I believe the temperance people
have a right to demand that much and no more.
Several county conventions have thus eX-
pressed their approval of such action. 1t was only
defeated in this Wayne county, by a count of
votes known only to political bummers Every
fair-minded man should be satisfied with sub
mission; that must be the first step. The tenn
perance people of Wayne county, to the number
of 900, in convention March %, passed a reso-
luton almost unanimously to support the sub
mission party.
Let the Republican party do the one thing
asked (submisSion) and no true temperance man
will do violence to the citizens of Indiana by
voting for a third party.

The Liquor Interests.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
You quote from the Minneapolis Tribune:
'"The time may come, and it may not be very far
distant, when the Republican party in the sew
eral States will feel constrained to lead public
opinion on the liquor question as it led in the
days of the free-soil issues" etc.
AS the anti-slavery free-soil issue began TWEEN
ty years before the Republican party was born,
just how it led in that issue may not well lie
seen outside the Tribune office. Those who did
lead public opinion then on the free soil issue
were those who eventually cut themselves loose
from the Wing and Democratic parties, and ed
ucated the whole nation so successfully up to
the free-soil standard that the ~chrysalis of the
Republican party was warmed into life at Phila-
delphia in 1856, and became a living and NOV
ing element in national politics; and in 1860, in
the majesty of its power, elected the lamented
Lincoln to the presidency. And as the free-soil
issue, which resulted so successfully, was then
made by TENDERS of those old parties, so now
do the members of the Republican and
Democratic parties who are leading
the prohibition question propose to
lead it to the same happy results.
And, as in the days of that great work, the Dem
ocratic party was welded to slavery, so, in this
present work is it welded to the liquor interest;
and now, if the Republican party shall espouse the
best interests of the people, and against the
liquor interest, it may escape the fate of the
Wing party; but, as the Tribune says, ''The
whole nation is being rapidly educated to the
point Of opposing the liquor interest, at the ex-
pense, if need be, of all political organizations,
the Republican party may well take warning.
And now, as the time is near at hand
for the nomination of candidates to fill the
offices in Indiana, let the so-called leaders in the
Republican party take notice that if they give
us candidates who are obnoxious to the voters
who are in favor of suppressing the liquor
traffic, they will not be supported by such voters,
nor is it at all likely that a Republican will fill
the Office of Governor who is not in favor of
suppressing that traffic.
There is no installing the signs of the times.
In 1852 the free soil party, in Switzerland
county, polled forty-ive votes. In 1856, in
National convention in Philadelphia, it changed
its name to Republican, and polled hundreds of
thousands of votes for Fremont, and in 1860 it
elected the President of the United States. IA
word to the wise, " etc. A. S. KINGSLEY.
