not a Government OF Royalty. Ours is q
people whose boast il that all men are equals

responsibilities as q soldier than the private
soldier who fought and won the battle,
lost a limb or otherwise suffered injury for
life, he also enjoyed the commensurately
greater compensation and higher honor. Ad-
mitted that Grant was q hero, but there were
q million more who fought in the same
struggle. There are thousands living to-day,
aud many OF them in Indiana. who were no
less gallant and suffered far more than did
''the hero OF Appomattox" We incline to-
ward the latter heroes. The Union could
have been preserved without General Grant,
but it could not have been preserved with
out the soldiery to which We refer.
We are opposed to any tendency to aping
monarchical decorations and enriching com
manding Generals while neglecting the he

Roman high life, who could watch the
deadly conflicts Of the Flavian Amphi-
thesier with applause for the fatal stab that
let a scarlet stream of blood squirt
out upon the sand, and with
calleus down-turniog OF the thumbs,

who happened to displease their fastidi-

refined or human when we watch our pugil-
istic gladiators In contests as brutal and
cruel? The Spanish who troop by the town
to see outright, where frightened horses
are ripped open and wheeled about the ring
with their bowels dragging in the dirt, and
where the work o, a slaughter house and a
beef butcher is done as the best Of popular
enioyments, are rather better and more re-
fined than a large part of our mroe boastful
people. They see nothing worse than the
torture of dumb brutes. We see torture as

There are men and women by thousands
who would not go TO prize fight if it were
free and in 3 church, Just as there were Ro-
mans who could not endure the perform
ances of the"Beprixes' snd 'Nobiliors' of the
arnes, and Spaniards who don't enjoy 8 bull
fight. But the majority of Us Americans
will take prize fight with fair share Of
satisfaction, and see q man sent down
with "a flush hit on the nose"
with & strong disposition to applaud.
In short, there is very much more barba-
1ism in the world than We like to admit.
We have contrived to cover it closer and
conceal it better than the people of ancient
times, or modern people Of less moral aud
intellectual pIe.ension, but We have not
done more in the way Of extirpating it than
others. A big fight will do more to help the
defective attendance at a great industrial
exhibition than any display of patriotic rel
les or any force of sentiment. A great ma
tional enterprise can be helped by the aid of
influences that touch the bsser elements of
life and human nature. So saysMr. Sheedy,

servers of the ways Of the world who will
NOT concsde that he is about half right. The
pessimist has good deal to encourage him

CHICAGO, Feb. - The dynamite section

woman I-:s an unusually fiery speech.
She began by berating her hearers as cow

because they allowed the aggressions of
capital to continue-sllowed their daughters
to barter their virtue for bread. II they

to it; would demolish the police stations

the faces of the army and navy. Ii they
we're afraid to do this however, they need
not lack for a captain, for she would nil her
apron with dynamite and lead them along

TBE GRANT PENSION Bill.

There are those who pretend to think the
Republic disgraced, justice outraged, and
all sense Of gratitude frozen out of the public
heart merely because the National House OF
Representatives did not retire General Grant
on pension OF So 600 year during life.
We do not see that the country is compro-
missed. We are not aware OF any legal or
moral obligation that has been strained. We
are sure that the people recognize in General
Grant commander who did much to force
the restoration OF the Union. We are sure
too, that if ever appreciation of favorite
soldier was demonstrated by Republic that
demonstration has been at the hands OF the
people of the United States and Ulysses S.
Grant the recipient Of it. All Of henors the
Nation has had to bestow have been bestowed
on him. Eight years Of the Presidency and
100000 salary was q handsome tribute. All
that legislative and popular expression could
offer added luster to his fame. No American
citizen ever received such wealth of valuable
personal gifts. All these we're supplemented
by the grGiuity Of purse Of $4,000, which
was invested BY the trustees OF the fund so
that yearly interest Of S15 900 for ten years
was guaranteed.
Is General Grant an indigentY Does ne
