Major j. Horace Lacy, of Virginia, prob
ably intends his letter to General Jubal A.
Early to be taken seriously. Whatever the

Major Lacy, which 10 not surprising, II his
general conduct 10 on par with the tone
and language Of his letter, But the ex-

at the end OF the letter, where Major Lacy
regrets the survival OF the men who will
neither learn nor forget. Very few men have
the courage to say that they regret their own
existence.

AN OLD LEADERS, DEATH.

The death Of General John @. Fremont,
on Sunday, at an advanced age, ends
career which became prominent at an earlier
period in the history Of the country than
that Of any man now living. Fremont first
won fame for an exploring tour from the
Missouri river TO the Pacific, which bore to
the American continent very much the re-
lation that Stanley's expedition across
Africa does to that continent, in the present
generation. The vast plains which are now
peopled and traversed by railroads then
formed an unknown wilderness; and FIRE.
mont's success In crossing them challenged
the admiration OF the whole country.
His success as Pathfinder and his infu-
ence in keeping California out of the list of
slave States, made him the first Republican
candidate for President in 1856. That was
really the summit of his fame, for his mill
tary career during the war was not success
full compared with the achievements of less
snowy Union Generals. and since the war
his career has been a somewhat ing'orious
one. In one respect the career Of the dead ex-
plorer and soldier is typical of the Repub-
hcan party. In his youth he stood for tine
development Of the vast natural wealth of
the country. and the preservation of its free
soil. In his old age he became entangled
with corporate schemes and the conflicts of
the great money kings involved him in
financial complications and even in
scandals.
Fremont's place in history, however, is
fixed by his success in exploration, and his
early support of the Union and the freedom
of the Territories from slavery. As pio-
neer, both of civilization and of Republican
ism in its best days, he will always be
creditable figure in the records Of the strug-
gle over the slavery question.

THE NEW SILVER LAW.

As we predicted he would, President
Harrison signed the silver bill yesterday.
The net Of making the bill q law was unac-
companied by any sign Of the Presidents
hesitancy. Under the circumstances the
new law is fairly acceptable, II will not
have much effect upon the financial oondi-
tion Of the country, although the price Of
silver is likely to rise n little In response TO
the Increase In the Governments purchases
Of silver. The silver men are not satisfied
with the law, but they are better of under II
than they were before, The Eastern anan-
ciers who were most earnest In the opposi-
tion 10 silver initiation are not satisfied
either, but they should certainly be thankful
that they have escaped free coinage Of silver
as proposed by Senate majority represent
ing a combination OF the West and South.
TEE DISPATCH does not regard the 81 liver
law as a strong measure, but 1t is probably
the best compromise that could be reached
at the present time.

FRUIT WILL ALL BE DEAR.

But High Grade Sugar Was Never Before
SO Cheap In this Country.
Granulated sugar was never SO low as at
present, which fact led Messrs. H. P. Dilworth
& Co. to remark on the scarcity of fruit this
year. That grade of sugar sells to-day at 6ss
cents and a year ago 1t sold at IN cents. In
fact it is really cent cheaper than 1t was
year ago, and as it has come down SO close to
the price of "off A." and other lower grades OF
sugar. its consumption is enormous, as 1t Is
really the cheapest, as the other grades do not
polarize so well as granulated. They stated
that, added to competition. the scarcity OF
fruit this year was the main cause of cneapness.
There can be little doubt that the fruit crop
of the United States, generally speaking. Will
be short, ft Ii true that in v.0OO00O sdnare
miles of latitude and longitude the United
States will not likely ever wholly miss crop,
but there we're some very extensive patches
which missed this year. Our home crop Isn't

anything more important than dwelling
house, or secured any more valuable plunder
than household silver, and having found
out by inquiry, after dozen years Of the
HOUSEKEEPING profession, that the heads of
families objected to 1t, he had determined
TO quit the business.
This comparison is made on the strength
Of the Posts own assertion that the copying
of foreign literary matter, in the absence of
international copyright, is stealing. The
important point is that it leaves the Post
exactly in the position of the firm which has
been its target. The firm has withdrawn its
pirated edition of the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA; the Post has sworn off from its pirat-
ing of English magazine stories. This
ought to permit the cruel war, in which the
pot has SO savagely descanted on the
criminal sootiness Of the kettle, to quiet its
thunderings.

NOTES AND BEAMS.

A remarkable illustration of the vital
, difference ir Rakes whether the mote is in
your neighbor's eve or the beam in your
own is afforded by the last issue of the New
York Post, on the subject of publishing
literary matter not protected by interna-
tional copyright The Post has been max
lug a savage attack on the firm of Funk &
Wagnals for the publication Of an edition
Of the Encyclopedia Britannica without
authority from or payment TO the Edin-
burgh firm, who got up that expensive and
valuable work. The inception Of the attack
was political having been originally di-
rected at Mr.. Wanamaker for permitting
the sale Of the pirated edition In his Phila.
dephia store; but Funk a. Wagnalls having
taken up the cudgels for the people who
sold their goods, Il has been continued to the
extent OF calling the people who publish
English literature without paying for II
"thieyes" aud "robbers,"
II was impossible 10 avoid making the
Tetort which has heretofore been referred 10
in this column, that the Post In common
with two or three other newspapers which
have been especially savage In making the
attack on these publishers, have carried on
the regular practice for years Of copying
stories from the English magazines. This
was pointed out TO the Post by the assRiled
firm; and that paper replies, first, that its
appropriation Of foreign literature was q
case Of "De nliRimis non curat le1;;" Sec
ond, that it supposed the publishers Of the
magazine would not object TO its practice,
but would rather value the advertisement;
and, third, that having recently made in
ouiries Of the magazine publishers, and
found that the majority OF them do object,
IL has discontinued the practice.
Asa defense from the charge which it
has been making against others the Posts
plea of "De uainimis" is most unique. The
statute law does not care for either the large
or the small appropriations of foreign litera-
ture; but to allege that the law OF morals,
on which this whole fight has been based,
condones the moderate thefts and co ondemns
the large ones, is a new position for public
monitor to take. The Posts plea is very
much as if a man were accusing another Of
bank robbery. ana on being twitted with his
own departures from the rule OF honesty

COKE MAY ADVANCE.
Scarcity of Water, Caused by tho Hot
Weather, the Reason.

Scarcity of Water, Caused by tho Hot
Weather, the Reason.
"If this dry spell continues it will seriously
affect the coke market and may cause the price
of the product to advance" said ]. ]. Paine, a
prominent superintendent of the Connellsville
region, who was in the city yesterday.
"Our water is playing out, and unless
the reservoirs are replenished they will
go dry and the ovens will have to shut
down. To make coke it is necessary to have
water, but when the fluid cannot be obtained
no more coke can be turned out. The streams
in the vicinity are being dried up and in few
days there will be water left in them. We
have not had any rain in the region of any
account for two weeks or more, and the hot sun
is rapidly absorbing the water. II we don't
get some rain before the end of the week,
half-dozen plants or more will have to close
down.
THE condition of the trade is good, and
boom is expected in the business. A great
many furnaces which have been undergoing
repairs all summer and spring, will be blown in
blast next month. This will cause an increased
demand for Connellsvills coke. The only
trouble we are having now outside of the dry
season, is the scarcity of cars to ship coke to
Eastern points,
