THE hostility Of the Democrats to our pres
ent safe and uniform financial system was
again evinced by the virtual defeat of the
Mcpherson bin in the House of Representa-
tives yesterday. This bill proposed to allow
an issue of currency to national banks equal
to the face value of the bonds deposited for
security. In an article recently published
Senator Sherman earnestly advocated the
passage Of this BILL

THE New York World says: LET us not be
too sentimental in dealing with the case of
General Grant" No; rather let us be just. 1t
is shame to the Nation that the great leader
of its armies is, in his old age, without a
penny's evidence of its gratitude. There is
no room for 'sentimentality' in this business.
Tie promptest action is called for to spare
the country lasting humiliation and disgrace

Col. MYRoN NJ. PARKER, grand master of
the Masons of the District of Columbia,
thinks it would be ''eminently proper for the
Masonic order to direct the ceremonies at the
dedication of the Washington monument
(which should consist of an Grafton by the
most eminent Mason available, procession,
and the dedicatory services of the order, be-
cause Washington was Mason 1t would
be just as 'eminently proper for the Episco-
pal Church Of the District, aided by delega-
tons from other churches in the Nation, to
take charge of the ceremonies, and have pro-
cession, and a sermon by the most eminent
Episcopal clergyman available, for Washing
ton was quite as prominent member Of that
Senator Sherman hit the point exactly, when
he said that "the monument having been com
pleted by Congress he might have
said built by contributions of the whole
Nation" dedication should be a
national affair."" The Nasons have
no more claim to appropriate it
than any other order sect or as
ISOLATION. That Washington was member
of the order is of no consequence, and in no
way affects the question of the right mode Of
defeating national monument. The claim
would be impudent if custom in past years
had not, without reason or warrant, conceded
to the Masons sort of proprietary right in
the ceremonies connected with the foundation
or dedication of public buildings. This con
cession has come of the name, as if Mason
now or at any time since the establishment
of speculative Masonry" meant anything
more than the appropriation of an old name
by a Sew association, containing as little OF
the building element as it does Of the political

The suspension of the firm of Oliver Broth
ers & Phillips, of Pittsburg is the most i'm
portant failure that has been occasioned by
the existing industrial depression. The firm
employs about 1000 men. The announce
ment of the disaster threw the Iron City into
something like CONSERVATION of apprehen-
sion; but the latest advices are to the effect
that the firm will probably obtain an extern
sion from their creditors and be allowed
to proceed with their business. The
history of this firm reads like a romance. But
few years ago the members were working in
the most subordinate capacities When they
started in the iron business they hauled away
the product of their mill in wheelbarrows
Now their business mounts up into
the millions. The career of the firm
is most forceful illustration of
some OF the truths so epigrammatically stated
by Mr.. Carnegie about the Aristocracy of the
Dollar 1t is an indication Of the value of a
stable, unfuctuating financial basis for all bust
ness that, great as this suspension is, its infu-
ence is not seriously felt, to the disturbance of
other interests. With business on an inflated
basis Of wind, as in 1873, such suspension
would be followed by like effects as those
which supervened upon the Jay Cook failure.

element. The Odd-fellows, or Knights of
Pythias, or the Temple Of Honor, could adopt
the square and compass with just as much
propriety as the Masons. The refusal to take
part in the national occasion, which Colonel
Parker emphasizes so strongly, looks very like
bit of puerile resentment and does no
credit to anybody concerned.

jim KEENE, who ought to know better, has
been making circus of himself on a suburban
New York train. He boarded one the other
morning, forgetting to provide himself with his
communication book. When told that the rules
of the company forbade conductors passing men
without their book, he declined to pay, and the
conductor, rather than have trouble with him,
charged himself with the fare as far as Jamaica
junction. where another conductor took charge
of the train Keene again refused to pay, and
an attempt was made to put him off, when an
other passenger paid his fare, which Keene al
lowed him to do. If the story is true, as told,
the great ex-operator is no gentleman.

A DETROIT paper tells how one of its city

which he had been engaged upon when she in

LADIES who read the newspapers must be
panied to note the frequent losses OF hair goods
by fire, which have recently been reported by
telegraph. Thousands of dollars worth of
switches and wigs, waves and bangs, have lately
been destroyed in Boston, New York and Phia
delphia by the devouring element which is alone
destructive to hair The telegraphic comment
is added to the news in all these cases that the
property was fully insured, but what does that
signify to the women who wear or would have
worn the hirsute adornmentsl If insurance
money does not replace the hair, of what conse-
quence is it to the would-be wearer2 And if the
singular series of incendiary calamities do not
cease there will soon be no hair in the market to
replace the old stock WITH 1t is this view of the
matter which must cause the thoughtful woman
whose store-hair needs replenishing to view with
alarm the ruinous losses which occur. The al
tentative of we'll flled hair-stores being badness,
who can wonder at her anxiety

Centennial Exposition at New Orleans.

requesting an additional appropriation

initial says:
:" A failure on the part of the mana
cement to carry ont the original intent
in regard to the Exposition might re-
fleet upon the honor of the United
States Government, since twenty ONT

A HelfOtype OF Mr.. Blaine.

Brother Blaine is a man that any
artist might be glad to paint. Tht
area upon which his emotions depict
themselves when he permits them to
come TO the surface is large, and, as an
artist would express it, full of draw
ing" He has resplendent nose, finely
proportioned, rich in tone and replett
with character. 1t In an aggressive
nose, nose of self assertion and de.
termination, a nose of generosity and
amplitude, o fine nose every way and
any way you look at it. Then his eye.
1t is rolling eye of the most perilous
kind. Round, full and prominent, il
glistens with q warm and kindly hum
or, flashes with the fire of a turbulent
and daring spirit, or melts in the honey
of amiability-justa as occasion requires
In his case 1t may be said that his eyes
are the bay windows Of his soul, and
too much: credit cannot be given to
him that he has so steadily drawn the
blinds Of discretion over them, and
thereby spared many an aching heart
Add to these an expansive brow, moi
obscured by ldkks too abundant, q
brow strongly lined with the impress o1
many events, broad cheeks and q
snowy beard which conceals nothing o.
the strong jaw beneath OF of the ex
prrssive mouth, and you have the pre-
sentiment of James G. Blaine.
