SEVERAL of our exchanges have
advocated the propriety of the assem-
bling of the representatives and ed
itors of the West Kentucky papers at
a not distant but opportune day. We
think it is a very advisable and ex-
pedient measure and proposition, pro
vided it will abound with proceed
ings that will rebound to the success
of the participants in this flowery av-
ocation and Millionaire enterprise. 1t
is meet and advisable that editors
should assemble together once in
awhile to concoct deeper and more
malignant plans for the suppression
of knowledge, and 10 devise more ex-
pedient methods for swindling the
good people by giving them a five
dollar paper for about dollar and a
half year and furnishing them en-
lightenment and pleasure at about
one cent a ton.

One Of the most imposing and pre-
tentious events that has transpireC
in the Union for many years, was In,
funeral and burial of Nice-Pr9Sideni
Hendricks on the lst inst. The city
of IndianadoliS was thronged Will
thousands of people. come To pay
homage at the grave of the illustriou,
statesman. Although there was more
anxious curiosity than genuine love
and respect shown by the multitude
vet the decorous manner i'm which al
took part, and the predominant spirit
of voluntary interest everywhere ap
parent, evinced very conclusively tho
high esteem and honor that Mr. Hen,
dricks had enioved in life in the esti
nation of the masses. President
Cleveland did not attend the funeral,
at the solicitation of many interested
friends, who did not deem il prudent,
for fear of accident or danger that
might involve his life, for il must
now be remembered that upon the
existence of Cleveland rests the hope
and power of Democratic administra
ton for the next few years. We shall
soon already have Republican Vice
President, which office places its oc.
cupant in direct succession TO the seat
of the Executive Of the Government
which at the demise of President
Cleveland would most surely occur
We hope to see happy adjustment
of affairs, and a practical and dis
erect supervision of Democratic
strong-holds. and 10 the astute and
sagacious representatives whom the
yeomanry of our states have installed
as sentinels and executives, rests tn,
future prosperity and practice of Jef
fersonian principles.

Canon Farrar.

At CITY Hall next Monday evening patrons
of the excellent course of entertainments
now in progress under the auspices of the
Young Mems Christian Association, will
have the pleasure of listening to lecture on
"Dante" by the eminent English divine,
Canon Frederic W. Farrar. Through his re-
markable eulogy of Gen. Grant in West
minister Abbey, most Americans have FORM
ed sort of speaking acquaintance with
him. Never did so eloquent tribute to an
American and American institutions issue
from the lips of an Englishman. Portland
is fortunate in securing the presence of so
distinguished a preacher and author, his
stay in this country being so limited and
there being such, demand for him in the
larger cities. Every where he has appeared
he has been the recipient of perfect Grafton.
Hundreds have been turned away, from
MANY of the halls and churches where he
has spoken, not being able to gain even
Standing room. Considering the great ex-
pense in securing Canon Farrar, the Y. M
G, A, lecture committee has placed the eve
ming tickets with reserved seats at very
reasonable rates, thus ensuring packed
house which will certainly be the result
Canon Farrar will be accompanied to Port
land by Rev. Phillips Brooks, ID. D., the dis
tinguished rector of Trinity church, Boston
not unknown to our citizens, who will doubts
less have some pleasant things to say by way
of introduction of his distinguished frient
and visitor.

Ipresume that you have little interest in
the controversy going on among Democrats
relative to the appointment of Collector of
Portland Judge Cleaves was undoubtedly
well sustained by his friends, but they should
not claim that they had all the representa-
tives of the party on his side. Surely Demo-
Gratis will understand that the following list
of names among those who supported Cen
Anderson as against Judge Cleaves includes
some of the paying, working representative
men of the party in Portland. Such names
as VIM G. Davis, S. r. Lyman, w. L. Put
nam, Bion Bradbury, Geo. Walker, s. G.
