Tears for Grady.

Before the echoes of his marvellous
speech at Boston have died away, the elo-
quent lips of Henry W. Grady are mute
in death at Atlanta. A cold, contracted
during his recent visit to New England,
developed alarming symptoms and has
tened his return to his home. Pneu-
monia set in, and early Monday morn
ing, the OBJ, the peerless orator, the
chivarous gentleman, the man of patri-
otto purpose, of kindly nature and
generous impulse, breathed his last
Mr.. Grady was born at Athens, Ga,
May II, 1851. His sun was shining
full orbed, his fame at thirty-eight was
ripe, and he has passed away with a
rank among the distinguished of the
nation the veteran, grizzled in arduous
public service, might envy. Light is
thrown on the developments Of his
character by knowledge of the fact that
his father, though he fell fighting the
battles of the confederacy, was, like
many another southern soldier, Union
man compelled by his environment to
take up arms against his government.
Mr.. Grady's career as a journalist
began at eighteen. The promise of
dawning manhood advanced rapidly to
full and exuberant fruition. He was
50 true journalist, so true a man, that
when, in 1882, he was suggested for the
Office of representative at large, and the
suggestion was editorially endorsed by
fifty papers of his state, and one hun
dred of it's counties pledged him sup
port, and his fellow-citizens of Atlanta
pressed the honor upon him, he re-
NAMED faithful to the resolution he
made when he entered journalism,
that as long as he remained in its
ranks he would never become candi-
date for any political Office or draw a
dollar from any public treasury. In his
estimation, "no man, no matter what
his calling, his elevation or his oppor-
tunity, can equal in dignity, honor and
usefulness the journalist who compre-
hends his position, fairly measures his
duties and gives himself entirely and
unsel6shly to his work" So he has
kept himself unercumbered for the
duties of which he had so high con-
ception.
His speech at the dinner of the New
England Society in New York in 1856
the subject, "The New South y
gave him national fame. 1t was a
crucial test of his powers to come
again, on a similar mission, so near the
scene of his former triumph and add
new luster to his old renown. His
candor and sincerity made him friends
reason, argument, lucid statement and
marshaling of facts gained him re-
spect; the rhythmic flow of his oratory
won him admirers, but his browning
glory is his character of peace-maker
between the South and the North. A
lofty purpose enlisted all his matchless
powers and inspired his most eloquent
periods. He has fallen a sacrifice to
his holy purpose, and the blessing of
| the peace-maker shall descend upon
him. Grady dead shall appeal more
powerfully to the men of the North and
the South than Grady living.

THE new treaty with Canada, which
the senate now has under consideration,
provides for the extradition of en-
bezzlers. When it is ratified, as it prob
ably will be, some slight decrease in
the number of defalcations in this coun-
try should be noticeable. No treaty
will be perfect preventive, for it is
doubtless true that nine-tenths of the
defalcations are due to small stealings
which the faithless stewards intend to
make good before they are discovered.
Yet the treaty will have wholesome
effect.

IT is the plain duty of the admins
tration to protect witnesses in United
States courts at the South from intimi-
dation. Whatever the basis of the set
tlemeut of the negro question is to be,
strict adherence to established legal
processes must be insisted upon by the
national government at all times. The
South does not like the looks of ma
tional election law, but it can rest as
sured that the most certain way of
driving the admin stration to it is 10

Self-respect demands that the govern
ment secure justice to every one with
whom it has relations. This means
both protection to witnesses and pro-
lection to voters when they vote for
United States officers. 1t is undoubt-
eddy true that acts of disloyal nature
are not countenanced by the best citi-
zens of the South, but it is also true
that such citizens do not exert them.

SECRETARY WINDOW has decided to
give the lease to catch seals in the
Alaskan islands and coasts to the
highest bidder. That is better than
giving it to the Alaska Commercial
Company, which since 1870 has had the
monopoly. The secretary has done the
best he could under the act of con-
gress which authorizes him to give the
lease to some one. But why there
should be any monopoly in the seal
fisheries is not plain. What good rea-
son is there why any American citizen
should not be allowed to go into the
business and make what he can?
