Grant will stand side by side in marble and
brass, and fill every niche of our country's fame
to the latest posterity The world will know us
better through the names of these two men than
all the men who have lived before them. or shall
likely follow after them.
And this man, the second name in all the his
tory of his country-he who stands next to the
father who founded its left to die in neglect,
broken hearted, earning his bread by the sweat
of his brow, even while he is sick. Can
this be possible in American Lonely,
to-day, in the midst of thousands; poor
in the midst of untold wealth; sad while all
round him is mirth and gayety, the greatest man
OF his day is silently passing away in poverty
and sorrow to that grave from which no human
power can recall him. The Nation has forgotten
him for time; the law-givers are deaf to his
claims and Indifferent to his sufferings; the
people. in the strength and pleasure of their lat
ter years, have forgotten their weakness and sor-
rows informer times. They are busy with their
own enJoyments, and have no time to remember
poor General Grant.
One of these mornings we will hear he is dead.
Then the Nation will wake up and sound his
praises and build monuments to his name but
the disgrace to US will be all the same Pose as
we may before the world boast of our freedom
and wealth as we may the world will say: You
neglected and starved General Grant; shame,
shame upon you"
But whoever may forget the old hero of Ap-
pomatox Court-ho the men who fought under
him will never forget him, and although they
may not be able to relieve his distress. on this
New Years day blessings from the hearts of his
old soldiers throughout the length and breadth
OF the land are waited to him in his sad New
York home. JAMES S. BRIsBIN.

Gen. Grant Declines to Accept the Fund
Raised by Friends for His Use.
New YORK, Jan. Tt would seem that the
effort to raise fund to pay off the mortgage
upon General Grants personal effects has been
surnmarily stopped by the General himself. The
Mail and Express will this afternoon publish
the following characteristic letter to Cyrus w.
Field:
NEW YORK CITY, JAN g. 1885.
MY Dear Sir-Through the press and other
wise learn that you, with q few other friends
of mine, are engaged in raising a subscription

and the friendship which have actuated this
course on your part but on mature reflection
regard it as due to myself and family to de-
cline this proffered generosity. I regret that l
did not make this known earlier.
Very truly yours, U. s. GRANT"
The Mail and Express says 1.-THE man whose
unfaltering persistence, matchless military skill
and untiring energy supplied to a million of
American citizens in federal uniforms the one
supreme need of victorious leadership, and who,
many times in single days work, saved to the
North uncounted millions Of treasure from i'm
minent risk, not to mention infinitely more
precious possessions, will not allow private lib
erality to be urged in his behalf It was impos-
sible for Grant to say what he felt obligated
to say in this note without bring
ing to crisis the painful situation
in which he silently suffered these
long months. during which time the sympathies
of the people-unfaltering grateful at heart
have had guidance of no definite idea as to what
was needed to be done, what could be done, or
what should be DONE"
The Mail and Express then asks "What
shall now be done2" and continues as follows
What but the one straight forward. legti-
mate ADEQUATE method becoming the govern

said a member of the inauguration general COM
mittee lis absolute rot Instead of simplicity
in its pastoral form, look out for one of the most
gorgeous displays you ever witnessed We are
making elaborate preparations and l tell you the
result will astonish any Britisher who may be
present. The average Londoner, you know
thinks there is nothing no pageant on earth to
compare with the Lord Mayors show; while
Christians point to the glory of Solomon as the
most elaborate display on earth. Now the De-
mocracy of which l have the honor to be
an honored member, has been preparing
for this coming event ever since 1864
We are now going to don our wedding garments
so to speak, and look out for the celebration is
my advice. Seriously, though there will be no
attempt at anything like simplicity The Dem
ocrats have looked on at Republican inaugura-
tions for twenty years, and very naturally they
are determined to outdo their rivals. Every
possible means of making the affair the most
memorable in the history of the United States
will be adopted, and we expect the result to war
rant all the pains that have been taken to ac-
complsh our ends. Simplicity is humbug The
people come here to see show worthy of the
country, and they shall see it."

THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.
A Disposition to Charge MT. Randall with
Its Defeat.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, JAN THE defeat of the bank
ruptcy bill through the absence of dozen of it's
friends, has caused a very gloomy feeling to
settle down over the New York and New Eng
land members of Congress, and among the Dem
ocrats from the eastern section of the country
there is an evident disposition to credit Randall
with the defeat of the bill.
What is the ground of Randall's objection?,
l asked New York member who has been an
earnest advocate of bankrupt law.
"Well, that is difficult question to answer, !"
he replied, 'but Randall has been opposed to
bankruptcy legislation ever since he entered
Congress. He brags that he has voted adversely
upon every proposition for a national law since
he had vote in Congress, and l am informed
that he has declared his intention of defeating
the consideration of any bankruptcy bill as long
as ne remains member"
'Will his attitude on Monday last have any
effect upon his canvass for the speakership9"
Il think it will have two-fold effect. He
will probably gain few votes in the South and
West by opposing the bill, because the strength
of the opposition is in those sections, but he will

his actions"
why will it affect his strength in the East2"
Eastern members are as a rule very much in
earnest In this matter. They know the absolute
necessity of a national bankrupt law, and will
work for it vigorously in the next Congress.
They know that feeling as Randall does, he will,
if elected speaker. so build the committee on the
judiciary as to preclude the possibility of fav
orable report, and for this reason many mem
hers believing with him on other issues will vote
for Mr. Carlisle"
What has been Mr.. Carlisles position in this
matter7'
II do not know how Mr.. Carlisle would have
voted, but he has been uniformly fair and inn
partial. Mr.. Carlisle does not allow his personal
feelings to interfere with his official actions
Hence, it is impossible to judge of his attitude
upon any measure by his rulings"
"Will any further attempt be made to secure
vote on the bill at this session7"
mo. 1t would be useless. The consideration
OF such bill would occupy several days, and
there are too many special orders which would
conflict The bill is absolutely dead for this
session."

He Thinks We Need an Isthmian Canal, but

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.--''What do you think of
the Nicaragua canal projecti' The question was
addressed by the Journal correspondent to Sena-
tor Cullom, last evening He replied:
II do not care TO discuss the Nicaragua treaty
before 1t comes up in the Senate ] will say,
however, that there must be canal across
Nicaragua, and the United st tates must control
it The principal question with the present
treaty is: is it the best that could be madeP
Itseems to me that we are giving Nicaragua too
much. We not only build the entire canal,
loan tho republic $4OOO,OoO and buy the
right of way where the route crosses
private interests, but we propose to
give the government of Nicaragua one-haf of
the receipts. / don't know that the proposition
is fair one for the United States"
DO You think that this will affect the ratifca-
tion of the treaty by the United Statesl7
THAT cannot say, and / should not be at
liberty to do so If could. The subject has not
yet been discussed in the Senate at all. think
that the minor sbjections could perhaps be re-
moved. have no doubt that the Nicaraguan
government is anxious for the ratification of the
treaty, and that rather than see it defeated.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

Mr.. Stockslager Thinks Appropriations Will
Be Made for Their Construction.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Representative Stock
slayer said to Journal correspondent, tonight
that in all probability between 81, 900, 900 and
$5,00O,000 would be appropriated this session for
public buildings. 1t has been three years. he
said, since any money had been appropriated for
this purpose and inasmuch as 90 per cent. of
the public building money went to workingmen
for labor and there was no likelihood of re-
duction being made soon of the government in
come, for every reason buildings should be pro
vided wherever needed. Mr.. Stockslager thought
there was little doubt that the bills providing for
building at New Albany and increasing the
amount for the Fort Wayne building would be
passed at this session. He will try to call them
up as soon as the interstate commerce bill is out
of they way.

A STARTLING ST0..Y.
English Detectives Claim to Have Found the
Headquarters of q Dynamite Society.

PITTsBURG. Jan. THE Posts Greensburg,
Westmoreland county Pa, special says: "A
rumor is current here tonight that English de-
tectives have obtained evidence to the effect
that powerful secret society of dynamiters is
In existence within the boundaries of this county,
and also that this society is directly responsible
for the secret explosions and aassassinations
in England. These detectives have been on the
track of this society, brotherhood, for several
months, and have found that it is we'll and thor
oughly organized. somewhat on the plan Of the
Mollie Maguires that its treasury contains a
large amount of money, obtained by asses sment
and other sources from all parts of the State.
Some of the recent explosions have
been traced directly to this county, as
well as a number of assassinations committed
in England. These English detectives, it is
claimed, have mingled with suspects for year,
and have departed for Washington D. c., with
evidence which they will lay before the proper
English authorities. This evidence. obtained
and IN possession of these detectives,
is of such nature that it will
show, beyond the peradventure of a
doubt that citizens Of this country have
been, and are now engaged in sending
TO England trusted men with large quantities of
dynamite, and men who have the nerve to use it
after it is there. Irish-Americans spoken to
scof at the idea. They say such a thing would
be impossible here, but there was a sort of look
bly, knew more about the matter than they cared
to admit. tits certain there has been something
in the wind in this county for some time past
of an unusually exciting nature"

Railway Rates and POOLING.

WASHINGTON, Jan 7.-Mr. Nimmo, Chief of
the Bureau of Statistics, to-day handed his an
nual report on internal commerce to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. The average rate of
freight charged on the railroads of the United
States during 1883 was less than half the aver
age rate charged in 1868, and in the meantime
there was an enormous increase in the volume
of traffic. considerable part of the report is
devoted to the subject of pooling, which Mr.
Nimmo regards as an expedient to which the
railroads had recourse not willingly, but of ne
cessity, in order to protect themselves against
the ruinous effects of war rates, and, ALSO to
protect themselves against popular indignation
caused by the evils of secret rates to individual
shippers.
