THE GRANT FUND.

For the benefit of the discussion over TIE
proposal to retire General Grant on a Gen.
erals pay ii may be as well TO read what Mr..
John 7. Ferry, one of the trustees of the
Grant fund of $3.50, 0C0 has co say. 1t will
be remembered that this fund was invested
in Wabash bonds, on which the estate of
Ex-Governor Z d. Morgan is held to a guar
antee of interest to the expiration OF ten
years from Mr.. Morgan's contract. Mr..
Ferry on being asked to give true state
ment OF the condition OF the fund said.
The Wabash bonds at present pay an inter
est OF something over per cent. and are
valuable. Their value in few years will
increase, and the investment is by no means
uncertain. There is not Morgan heir that
knows anything about the Grant fund, or
even in what bonds the money has been
placed. Furthermore, the guarantee of
Governor Morgan has six years to run in
stead of three. By tbs time the guarantee
has expired, the bonds will be worth good
deal of money"
Six per cent on $3.50. 0)O amounts to Sl5..
600 year or 81 $50 per month. Or 81 66 per
day. 1t does appear that even distn-
g1ished man might live on that sum pretty
comfortably. There is many gallant
soldier, still suffering from wounds received
in battle, who would deem General Grants
monthly income big one per year for the
balance of his life.

very important duty upon the present

work as well IS could he expected, and is
not deserving OF adverse criticism. Judge
IgleheaTt of Evansville. in a recent commu-
nicstion to the Journal of his city, correctly
states that large majority of the ablest law

address takes substantially the same posi-

the Legislature would decline TO continue it

the commission become effective they are

the General Assembly do? Should il ad-

subject? IL so, the calendar OF the Court
will again show such an accumulation of
causes as to cverburien il and seriously
prejudice litigsnts, who have a legal and

Bloomington is not retrogrsding, but, on the

when her advantages are considered. Those
who have not visited our city for ten years

Within that time twenty-one new and
handsome business houses have been erected
and some improvement has been made in
rear y all the old business houses Daring
that time all the public buildings have been
remodeled aud improved which furnishes
quarters for the beet equipped steam FIRE
department of any town of the size

year contracts have already been le. for
