The JOURNAL ought to have in
cluded last week in its notice of Col.
p. W. Avirctt word concerning his
successor, John w. Avirett, but the
pathos ever involved in goodbye"
overs hadowed the joy of welcome.
And even now we expect so many
occasions for commentator of the
Times that any formal anticipation of
good things would seem to be super
erogatory.

The JOURNAL refers with intense
pain to the disappearance Of eX State
Senator William Brace.
1t does so now only to say all in
kindness, and thus bespeak for him
the gentlest Judgment Of the public
upon the wisdom of the step he has
taken.
He is a lawyer of more than ordi-
nary ability and requirements. He
stood near the summit of his pro-
fession in all the courts where he
practised. lie is learned and ready,
correct and prompt-aquick and safe
adviser.
He had been honOred on several
occasions with popular preferment,
and in the halls of legislation reflect
ed no discredit whatever upon the
people he represented.
OF the problem involved in his last
step, and taking into the calculation
the injuries said to have been sus-
tanned by those who trusted hint
is still certain that he has inflicted no
deeper wrong upon any than him
self. In numerous instances he
wrought for naught, and hundreds
are to-day proliting from the use of
his splendid abilities as gratuities.
Though wearing a cold exterior,
there are few really warmer hearts
than his.
1t is within the age of strong
probability, therefore, and accepting
the worst us true, that he carried too
far the indulgences Of IL disposition
whose full play not many can afford.
1t is almost impossible to conceive
that William Brace, with this feature
Of character always salient, could
have mi1tuHy defrauded anyone.
However indefensible, therefore, the
course finally taken, there is some oc-
casion for excuse left to us for throw
ing the mantle of charity over his
shortcomings, whatever they may
have been. And if he never returns
that occasion will grow in virtue as
he is more and more missed.
Should he come back and pledge
himself to life Of amends to those
whom he may have injured, there are
strong, Stalwart men Of means and
influence here who will, under such
terms, not only gladly welcome him,
but seek him, meet him and place
his footsteps again on the highway
which, rightly pursued, always leads
to success and honor.

lT appears that Senator Mckaig
went to Annapolis mot to introduce
bills 50 much us to watch bills that
ought not to become laws.
1t appears also that he has found
aud re-introduced the exotic measure
known us "The Stolen Ventilation
Bill"
Before he goes further he should
look very carefully into the wisdom
OF his action as it stands out against
his resolution. He should contem
plate stu diously the policy Of loading
on the best coal field in the world
conditions Of operation which apply
only to the worst. lie ought to ask
himself the question seriously and
frequently whether the voice of the
knights of labor is the voice of the
miners Of this region ?
If he does not know, we can tell
him that the bill is not now and
never was an answer to Il demand OF
the actual miners of this region.
He ought, moreover, survey with
great discretion the lines which
mark the boundaries between private
property and State invasion. Tn

He might also inquire into the
virtue and wisdom of securing law

constitutional.

The worst thing about a legisla-

An Ecehing Of Wednesday
evening the hospitable mansion OF
Owen Hitchins was thrown open to
the Welsh Glee Club. led by Richard
Harris, of this place. The club com.
prises seven ladies and thirteen gentle
men-in all twenty strong voices.
Among them Mr.. Harris is notable as
a singer of rare culture and power.
and he is unsellishly endeavoring to
bring his club up to his ideal of perfect
vocalism. The programme was mod
crate in scope, but choice, embracing
song, glee, anthem-solo, duet, trio,
quartet and chorus-airS for the grave
and gay, the married and the single,
the beau and the sweetheart. Be
tween the first and second parts an in
termisSion occurred broad enough to
permit a quintette Of charming ladies
to serve the company and the jour
NAL with cake, cream, coffee, etc,
which We're relished with that tervor
which ever responds to the tender of
genuine hospitality. The programme
was thel elcupon resumed with more Zest,
the quality and volume OF the exercise
growing better as the end approached.
The last ''cantata" about exhausted

difficulty the JOURNAL induced him to
crown the evenings splendid enter
tainment with the "National AR of

such as no doubt often stirred the
hearts of the brave clansmen against
the Saxon tide which surged around
Llewellyn's gate on the heights of

it would be hard to individuaIZe, all
doing well, and all receiving the uE-
stinted praise of the guests. Among
the latter were Messrs. John J. Keller,

Hamill, Howard Hitchins, Samuel
Jeffries, Rev. ID, G. DeWulf, Nicholas
Boynes, Dir. j. NJ. Porter and James

notice with the suggestion that there
ought to be more of these gatherings
in town, more knitting of social bonds
and cementing of friendships so much
so that no sledge and wedge of the dis
organizer could be found potential
enough to "break the ties that bind"

THAT SIOUX COMMISSION.

There seems to be considerable doubt
expressed as to whether The commission
now laboring among the Indians at
standing Rock will be able to bring the
Indians to terms or not. Every leading
chief at that agency bitterly opposes the
scheme, and SO far none of their braves
have expressed friendly sentiment to-
ward the bill, Unless radical change
comes over the spirit of their dreams the
commission will leave for the other
agencies without the required number Of
signers.
II it proves impossible TO obtain the
signatures Of the necessary two-t thirds of
the adult Indians, the matter should not
be dropped by congress. A change
should be made in the law that would
vest the entire authority in congress,
and the lands forcibly opened. It is too
late in the day, and the government has
done,too much in the past regardless of
tbs feelings. of the Indians, to allow them
nowto block the wheels Of progress and
arrest the onward march Of civilization
just because the leading chiefs can con
troll the requisite number of votes. Let
the government, as guardian of the
American Indian, do the best they can
for their ward with the wards Consent,
if possible; without, it if necessary.

Sturgis needs an institution Of this
character for several reasons, principally
among which is the using for local pur-

ais in the United States for the calendar
year 1887, the Black BILLS contributed

The average price Of silver was about 81
