The American TurrConrress.

The representatives of Western racing as
sociations Thursday organized at st. Louis
what is to be known as the American Turf
Congress. Mr.. j. +. Robinson was elected
president, and b. G. Bruce of Kentucky
secretary and treasurer Racing rules were
amended in several particulars, and it was
decided to license jockeys. One of the
principal changes in the rules was one
which makes it impossible for any one in
terested in any of the horses in the races to
act as Judge, and that ia horse shall not
be considered starter for the purpose of
settling bets until he is actually in the
hands of the starter. The fixing of dates
for the different spring and fall meetings
was not accomplished, as no satisfactory ar
engagements could be reached.

The cost Of cremation by the new
company in this city, says the New
York Mcdicol JoWnai will be only
S25. The fact that person dying in
New York can have suitable mortuary
rites performed for the comparatively
small sum of $2j Is most interesting,
and will, we feel sure, do much to rob
death of its terror Dying In New
York is a luxury, and one about which
most people show II strange amount of
thoughtlcssncss and reconsideration
A citizen can live three years in Ar
kansas for the price of cOnventiOnally
respectable intcrment in New York.
Yet few take such fact rs this into
the slightest consideration in consent
ing to demise. We are, indeed. ac.
quaintcd with one conscientious old
Irish woman, with complication of
diseases, who faithfully attends the
Dispensary, because she is "on her re.
lations,' and she knows and admits
they cannot afford to bury her.
Such spirit deserves historical
record and wide circulation, The fact
is, we arc much in need of society for
the cultivation, not of plain living, but
of plain dying. In these hard times it
is often little less than criminal that
man subject his estate to the prolific
expenditure of funeral. We have
heard of gentleman who, at the solici.
tation of his wife, gave up tobacco and
thereby, in the next fifteen years, saved
over $500, which all went at last for his
funeral expenses. Here was certainly
disproportion between effort and its
result that is most painful to wcll.bal-
anccd minds, and very disheartcniug to
the anti-tobacco propaganda.

Most assuredly, and there never was word
in the Journal that questioned the perfect
right of Mr.. Beecher to support Mr.. Cleve-
land. The only criticism that appeared in the
Journal upon Mr.. Beecher was when, as a
minister of the gospel, he publicly and in
terms made light of the sin of adultery, and
charged the majority of the people of New
York State with being practicers of that
crime. We do not understand that to be
liberty of conscience" and we believe that
by nine people out of ten Mr.. Beecher's utter
ance was condemned precisely as the Journal
denounced it. The journal never sought to
abridge Mr.. Beecher's liberty of conscience
and of action in opposing Mr. Blaine and sup
porting Mr.. Cleveland He had perfect
right to do that, but he had no right to say

OUR STORY FOR SATURDAY.

The original story that will be printed
in the Journal of Saturday is entitled
Father" and is from the pen of Miss Annie
Eichberg. popular and attractive writer. 1t
is a two part story. the second and concluding
part TO be printed on Saturday of next week.
The story relates the adventures of an eccen-
trio Pennsylvania through Europe to the
East. 1t is striking and original in plot,
very humorous, and at the same time charac-
terized by great refinement We have reason
to believe that Father will prove one Of the
most attractive of the series we have arranged
for during the year. During the spring
months the Journal expects to present stories
from J. 7. Trowbridge, Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps, Edgar Fawcett Sara Orne Jewett, and
others. A sketch of Miss Eichberg appears
elsewhere

The high prices which are to prevail in
Washington for the next few weeks are said
to be the cause of much anguish of spirit to
vast numbers of Gus Democrats" who want to
go to the Inauguration. Tickets to the ball
are SIS each. This, though making large
hole in the average Democratic pocket, would
not be so distressing had not the cabmen and
hack drivers announced that they will charge
SIS per head for carrying passengers to the ball.

Mr.. HAINEs, Speaker Of the Illinois House
of Representatives, expects to be elected
United States Senator He is shaping his
conduct toward that event. The correspond
ent of the ST. Louis Globe Democrat, who is
in Springfield looking over the situation
writes:
"There is one man who is nursing the hope
that he can be elected, and who gives it out
to his friends that he is the only man who can
be elected. That man is Elijah nj. Haines,
the Speaker of the House. He is man of
indomitable will, great force and extraordinary
pertinacity. He is after the senatorship, and
he is backed by all the unruly spirits of both
houses. He adopts the methods of the true
buccaneer, and will stop at nothing in the
way of favors promises of favors. If it
comes to a pass where no one but Haines can
be elected, it is likely he will make it suf-
ficiently interesting to the Democrats to make
his election worth while. His success in
gaining the speakership single handed prom
Uses much for him in this direction"
Such result as that would be a disgrace to
the State, and to the Senate of the United
States.

WHEN Bishop Chatard states in card that
Father ONeil was dismissed for entirely differ
ent reasons, the Journal virtually accuses the
Bishop of uttering fasehood The Sentinel.
Well, no; we scarcely think Bishop Chatard
himself feels that way about the matter The
''reasons" Why Father O'Neill was dismissed
we have been told; the real cause is another
thing, if the Sentinel pleases, and the Bishop,
too, and that is what the Journal is talking
about. By the way, the Journal will be glad
to make public the ''reasons," if the Catholic
authorities think it best, and place them along
side Bishop Chatards public statement that
Father O'Neill is "a good man and worthy
priest" We rather fancy their simultaneous
publication would do away very quickly with
the pretext now sought to be set up, or else
there would be revealed a remarkably queer
gauge for "a good man and worthy priest"

Legislative reappcrtioament, whereby it's hoped
to increase the present enormous majority of
the Democratic party in the General Assembly.
BY the present gerrymanderthe party has ajoint
majority Of forty-six, while their plurality in
the State is less than 1000. But this does not
satisfy them. They propose to increase this
majority to at least fifty-fve or sixty. That
is, they propose that pa, 900 Democratic vot-
ers shall have los senators and representatives
in the Legislature while the 251, 900 shall
have but forty five. This reapportionment is
to make absolutely sure of United States
senator in 1887. When the proportions of
this dishonorable, disgraceful, Internal theft
are made known, we fancy the disfranchised
people of the State will be heard from. Indi-

but of divorce. It would permit no divorce
of husband and wife under any circumstances.
This is an attack upon the liberties of the
American people which can hardly be ex-
rected to succeed. Without having studied
the question on all it's sides, the Journal is
inclined to favor local option rather than the
stringent measures proposed by our Southern
contemporary.

STATE TREASURER COOPER is reported to
have said, with some heat, that only himself
and Governor Gray will know anything about
the $3.50, 900 bond he proposes to file to-day.
This is in the nature of new departure. If
Mr.. Cooper has good bond there can be no
reason in not letting the people of the State
know it, who are already in sufficient state
of unrest about the condition of the public
funds-their money, not "my money" as Mr..
Cooper calls it. If Governor Gray has care
for his own political and personal reputation,
ard any respect for the rights of the people,
he will not lend himself to any dark-lantern
scheme of Mr.. Cooper's, by which
the State Treasury is to be still
further Theoretically sealed. If the
State Treasurer and Governor Gray do COM
bine together, as Mr.. Cooper says they will,
there may be plan adopted to break the un-
savory and suspicious combination. Do
the Democratic party, and the Treasurer
of State, and Governor Gray imagine,
for moment that they can con-
tinue to ride their high horse without
being most ingloriously overthrownY If Mr..
Coopers plan is carried out, the State and the
people simply have Mr. Cooper, backed by the
supposed approval Of Governor Gray, as Sc
curity for the public money. Such a pro-
ceeding is not in harmony with the spirit Of
our institutions and will call down upon the
heads of the men who may undertake it, the
condign wrath of the people

THERE is no question raised as to the truth
of the statement by the Journal that the
Catholic authorities have permitted the in
mates of the Home of the Little Sisters of
the Poor to be voted in a body for the Demo
cratic ticket; but we are met by the Sentinel
with the suggestion to task Vicar-general
Harry Adams and other ex-Republican (V.-
G.'s) sheriffs concerning Jail deliveries on cleo
ton days, and then take a sniff of Marion
County Poor-house lore" Even from the
Sentineps point of view, the Jail deliveries and
the county poor house deliveries" were the
worst kind of politics" and these things were
done under the supervision of men whom the
Sentinel delights to dub as Harry" "Dan,"
"Joe," "Bil," etc., etc So still keeping on
the plane OF the Sentinel, the Little Sisters
of the Poor deliveries" must have been
under the sanction of "Gus' Bessonies,
and isle" Chatard. Those estimable and es-
teemed gentlemen and citizens will pardon us
this offensive use Of their names; because, to
make the paltriness of the Sentinels reply
apparent it is necessary to momentarily as
sumo the offensive and pot-house style of the
Democratic organ. According to the SEN
tinel, the Little Sisters of the Poor "deliver-
les" and the Jail and county poor-farm "deliv-
cries are on a par, and they are very bad
and very mean kind of politics" Yet,
Vicar general Bessonies says Catholics must
'.leave politics to politicians" It has not
been done heretofore; and SO we shall expect
the Sentinel to unite with US in wishing that
VIC. Bessonies shall stop future deliveries"
from the Little Sisters Of the Poor.

DoRsHEIMER,s SILVER BILL.
A Measure Which Is Understood tn Represent

A Measure Which Is Understood to Represent
the Views Of Mr.. Cleveland.
Washington Special.
Mr.. Dorsheimer's bill contemplates the coin
age of a 480grain dollar, which is to be ex-
changed for the present standard dollar, the las-
ter to retain its present character as currency
for one year only 1t suspends the gold certif-
Gates repeats the Bland law. and provides for
free gold coinage and free silver coinage from
American silver bullion. This bill referred
to the committee on coinage. weights and
measures, and will be considered at a special
meeting tomorrow.
1t was reported about the Capitol that Dor.
sheimer,s bill represented the views of Presi-
dent elect Cleveland and that he took this
method of dealing with the silver question in the
hope that it could be acted upon before his in
augural address appeared The silver men do
not regard the proposition with much favor :
They deny thatit comes from Mr.. Cevelandl
and they say even il it did it would not change
the position they have maintained all winter.
Should the bill be reported back by the commit
tee, it has no chance of being reached on the
calendar.
There is a proposition favored by Mr.. Hewitt
to insert clause in the sundry civil approp-i-
alton bill, giving the President authority for one
year to suspend the coinage of silver dollars
whenever their accumulation fills the available
space in the vaults and to order tho coinage to
be begun again whenever the public demand
may arise for silver dollars. As the time is get
ting short it is said that Mr. Randall will ask
the House to pass this bill under q suspension OF
the rules and without debate, but there is likely
TO be much opposition.
The letter addressed to Mr. Cleveland by
members Of the House opposed to suspendine q
