combination. There is very little
rancorous opposition to the president,
and the scattering vote perhaps can be
most easily attracted to him by con-
ciliatory policy. And further, the
bare fact that the business interests of
so doubtful state as New York
are for him and against Blaine
will govern the action OF many
delegates who are at heart Blaine
men, but are first for the can
didate that can carry New York. Let
it once be understood that the men
who sign this call for the purpose of
booming Arthur will oppose Blaine if
nominated. and the effect will be dis
astrons to the Maine man. The prod
uct of this combination may not be
Arthur, but it is safe to count on it be-
ing anti-Blaine.

"ad.n for the Post in his letter declining the

Business is business" but it Is
mortifying that the tender of posi-
ton so important was made with only
"a big adj" as a result. And, after all,
isn't it an indication Of what might
have been had he accepted? The
state of Texas has been made to en-
gage in very small business in this
matter; Booming private enterprise.
The use that was made of the appoint
ment is the strongest argument yet
against its fitness in all respects.

MEDICAL ethics'' got in its work on
a newspaper man at Dallas day or
two since. 1t may be all right-THE
GAZETTE is no doctor. But it seems
to the common mind that human suf.
fering has prior claim to human
pride. What makes the "ethics" tie
more difficult to comprehend is til,
fact that physicians were finally per.
suaded to act, when the chances were
that it was too late to save the mans
arm in all its usefulness. If "ethics'

All Ouiet ON Wall Street,

The ultimate outcome of the Wall
street breeze more and more confirms
The GAzETrE's representations. 1t
was simply a tempest in tea pot.
The results are now known, and they
allow no cause of anxiety to the BUSH
ness world. Several gambling opera
tors have gone under, and have dragged
down institutions whose transactions
had involved them; values have shrunk
some, and are now more nearly on a
true basis; confidence has been i'm
paired in some degree, and accommo-
dations will not he so easily obtained
except on gilt-edge paper. But the
country ut large has lost nothing; on
the contrary it is better off. The de-
struction of the gamblers and their
elimination from the stock exchange
has wholesome effect. 1t subdues the
spirit of adventure that risks fortunes
upon illegitimate schemes which are
demoralizing in their influences. The
fate of those who have lost will deter
many others from embarking on the
same dangerous sea of investment.
The shrinkage of values puts stocks at
their true worth, unsustained by arti.
fetal buoyancy, and investors know
that they are more likely to get the
actual worth of their money.
Now that a retrospect is possible, it
/ will hn a thinn
panic is next to impossible. But few,
if any, of the causes that produced
the great financial crisis of 1873 were
present on this occasion. Our cur
rency is worth its face value and prices
are not abnormally inflated; mania
for speculation does not pervade the
business men now as then; railroad
building, consuming vast fortunes of
money from which there could be no
hope of a return for several years, does
not run riot: our bonds are now held
at home, and millions of dollars yearly
in the form of interest are now re-
tanned at home that in 1878 were
drawn by foreign bondholders and d.
verted from the channels of trade to
be carried to Europe; crops have been
fairly good, and the expectation of
grain has brought hundreds of mill
ions into the country. When the
condition of the country now is com
pared with what it was when the
crash of 1878 fell, business men see at
once the folly of fearing any such a
panic as engulfed banks and Frustrated
business at that time.

ton of dead bodies, will cost. From

LeMoyne crematory, at Washington,

five bodies. 1t is stated, however, that
Il first.class crematory, like those in
Gotha, Milan and other European
cities, will cost SS,OOO. This will in

The house committee on elections
has reported in favor of unseating Me
Kinley of Ohio and Peelle of Indiana,
and seating their Democratic contest
ants. Had this report been made a
few weeks sooner, and acted on and
sustained by the house, it would have
given the Democrats two more and the
Republicans two less votes on the Nor.
rison BILL and as the Republican ma.
jority for that bill was four votes, this
change would have passed the bill
with the Speakers deciding vote.

TIE Austin Capital thinks it will
take Mr.. Patton six years to learn the
business of the land commissioners
Office, ''and less competent man a
lifetime." If this is an argument
against Patton now IL will be equally
effective at every succeeding election,
and the logical consequence is that the
office must be entailed upon the pres
ent incumbent. 1t is also just as strong
against every other Democrat in the
state. Did not the same difficulty pre-
sent itself when Mr.. Walsh was
elected? and hasn't Mr.. Patton as
much sense as he to learn the duties of
the Office?

A Probable Blessing in Disguise


II is perhaps fortunate the Grant &
Ward failure came when it did. in
stead of being delayed a few months.
The Republican party is preparing to
nominate candidate for the presi-
dency. Grants name has been freely
discussed as the dark horse" of Chi
cago convention No. l. 1t was
an open secret during the Republican
convention here in Fort Worth last
month, amid all the pulling and haul
ing for Arthur or Blaine, that Grants
name was on every tongue as a second
choice. This was not talked In the
convention, nor did it crop out at all
on the surface. 1t was an under.cur-
rent, running quietly and steadily, and
the representatives of Texas Repub.
llcans viewed it with placid eye. And
this same feeling extended all over the
country. The idea was crystallizinp
that Arthur, Blaine, Edmunds, Logan
and Sherman were to first measure
strength at Chicago, and in the even,
of dead lock, Grant was to break the
locls-the man on whom the party
could unite. But for the bank failure
there Is little doubt that the pro
gramme would have been carried out
And Grant would have been no ordi.
nary candidate. He could have polled
the Republican vote and might have
carried one or two Southern state.
Third term sentlmentallsm would
have succumbed to the prestige of hi.
name and without a very strong Dem
ocratic ticket to oppose him, Gen
Grant could have been elected. The
failure impairs his prestige. It ma,
not win him contempt; it may ever
create sympathy for him; but all iii,
same 1t will diminish the measure O
MS availability. In the face OF such ,
career as that Of the banking house O

more than half the stock in the state

herd law on themselves the only
change i'll the fences of the state Will
be that they will then have to fence
their stock IN instead of fencing them
out as now. And when they are
compelled to fence their stock up they

The Anti.Blaine Mnyement.


GA the Sd inst. THE GAZETTE used
the quoted language in the course of
editorial remarks on the prospects of
Mr.. Blaine:
Blaine could not be elected If he were nom.
mated. The "business interests of the
country, quick to take ALARM are already OPP
posing him. They fear his impetuous over
bearing tendency and the possible result OF
war, so disastrous 10 the commercial world,
and they view his growing strength with ap
pTehenslon of evil. Now, here are two facts
whose connection are Mt for consideration ::
The business interests OF the country are
conferred In New York and New York is an
extremely doubtful state. The Republicans
must have its thirty-siX electoral votes
or suffer defeat. With n candidate opposed
by the tremendous influence of conceut rated
millions of capital and thousands OF bust ness
men and their dependents, the Republican
chance in New York Is desperate one. TIL

On the 18th THE GAZETTE published
dispatch from New York that fully
sustains the accuracy of the judgment
expressed in the article cited. This
dispatch gives the text of an address
TO John Jacob Aston, Benz. II. Bristow,
Cornelius II. Agnew, John A. Stewart,
and other representative business men
Of New York, requesting them to
designate time and place for the
holding of meeting to indorse Presi-
dent Arthur and approve his admin.
istration, and to voice "their wish that
he may be nominated for president at
the Republican national convention. !,
1T Is believed" continues the address,
that there is widespread feeling in
this direction among those who control
the great business interests which cen.
ter here" The signatures humble,
