"FOR THE RIGHT"
A Word About the Tilden Memorial Pro-
posed by Mr.. Cummings.

posed by Mr.. Cummings.
An aggressive Democratic Congress-
man, Mr.. Amos J. Cummings, of New
York, has offered in the House a reso-
luton appropriating $50 900 for bronze
statue of Samuel j. Tilden. to be placed
in the center of the Capitol rotunda.
Mr.. Cummings proposes to have in
scribed on the base of the statue the
words: samuel J. Tilden, nineteenth
President of the United states-elected,
but not seated" together with the date
of Mr.. Tilden's birth, election and
death, the picture of an eagle with
snake in it's talonS and the motto: ''For
the right"
1t may be assumed that Mr.. Cummings
does not expect the passage of his reso-
luton in the present Congress, though
there is probably not member of that
body, even among the most besotted
Republicans, who does not harbor some
where about his person belief that
Mr. Tilden was cheated out of the Pres
idency by most infamous crime, and
that the Nation owes it to itself, to the
constitution which that crime trampled
should have filled the Presidential
chair to place conspicuously before the
people an enduring memorial of the oc-
currence, coupled with the sternest rep
rotation which can be conveyed in
words of the treasonable act and it's
perpetrators.
And it can scarcely be doubted that,
upon the spontaneous demand of right
thinking, patriotic Americans, some
such expiatory memorial will Ultimately
be erected, to stand as a perpetual plea
for the right" and a recognition of the
title to eternal infamy earned by the
men who labored for and secured the
success of the conspiracy.
The offense of which Mr.. Cummings
proposes to create in monumental brass
a perpe tual reminder was the most dis
graceful political crime in American
history. 1t set precedent which has
just been followed in the odious villainy
of the Republicans in Montana, and
which promises a fruitful harvest of
similar denominations in the years to
come 1t would be we'll if the National
conscience might be awakened before
this harvest is gathered to set the brand
of public eXecrat ton upon the treason of
1876 in such terms as would warn con-
spirators against attempts to repeat it.

THE BOUNTY SYSTEM,

What Republican Demagogy May Ac-
complish in Time.
The hearing before the ways and
means committee at Washington has
accomplished one useful purpose. 1t
brought the tariff discussion down 10 a
rational basis so far as the farmers of
the country are concerned. Mr.. Alex
ander j. Wedderburn, representing the
National Grange, Patrons of Hus band
ry, made the demand that, if the pres
ent high tariff is to be maintained, then
Congress shall vote bounty to farmers
on all their products. He showed that
the present tariff increases the profits
of manufacturers, and that these profits
come out of the pockets of the farmers
and working-mep of the country; that
there is no way through raising the
tariff by which farmers may be bene-
flied. and that the only way to square
the account is to vote money outright
from the treasury to the farmers of the
country.
This proposition puts the protective
tariff on basis where every one can
understand it. The effect of the high
tariff in most cases is precisely the same
as if a bounty were given to manufact-
urers directly out of the peoples money
in the Federal treasury. That is it's
design, that is the meaning of the
phrase encouragement of home in
dustries," as applied to tariff taxation.
The proposition to repeal the tariff
taxes on sugar and in place thereof to
pay bounty for every pound of sugar
raised in this country has already done
omething to make clear to the people
the workings of protection, as now
applied in this country. Mr.. Wedder-
burns proposition to pay bounty for
all farm products make the matter still
clearer.
But after every one has bounty how
much better off will any one be than he
would be if there were no bounties at
all? All that the Federal treasury pays
over to him by way of bounty, and per-
haps more, too, he must at once pay out
to some one else for the bounty on his
product, and the second person must in
turn pay his bounty over to still third.

system. can not be so devised as to help
every one. If that is its aim it helps
no one. A bounty, or tariff system, to
be of help to any one must help certain
men and harm others. That is the
operation of the present tariff, and
every increase in its rates increases the
injustice of the present system.
If the Republican party proposes to
vote bounty for every pound of sugar
raised it must also vote a bounty for
every bushel of potatoes, and the
bounty the potato-raiser gets will stay
in his pocket just so long as he can go
without sugar, ard no longer. Then it
will be transferred as bounty to the
sugar-grower. The Republican party

The subject of women donning male
attire in order to follow their lovers in
cognito to wars or other dangers has
been a favorite one with the poets from
the early ballad singers to Mrs. Brown
ing, in the ''Romaunt of the Page" and
the Swedish Tegner, and his beautiful
story of 'Axel." But in modern times
| women have less romantic reasons for
the change OF costume. Like George
Sand they may do it in a spirit of ad-
venture; like Rosa Bonheur and our
own DR.. Mary Walker, because they find
It more comfortable, or like the hun
dreds of cases which are constantly be-
ing noted by the newspapers because
they find that an apparent change of
sex enables them to make better liv-
ing. Rosa Bonheur wears trousers when
at work, but resumes her female at
tire in the evening. She not only
wears trousers, but a full male
outfit, including the French laborer's
blue smock and cap, when she goes to
fairs to make studies for her cattle or
wanders about the field unaccompanied.
The garb relieves her of the trouble of
bundling up skirts when she carries
painting implements, aud also conceals
her sex from the rough men whom she
is liable to meet. Louisa Lawton, the
sculptress, also finds it convenient to
wear trousers and coat when at work.
Sarah Bernhardt, in her studio, as.
sumes a black velvet suit of clothes, in
which she is conscious that she looks
very charming. Nine, Dieulafoy, the
French explorer and scientists, who has
done so much to increase our knowledge
of Persian archaeology, also looks much
more coquettish and winsome in the
costume she adopted while journeying
in strange lands than in ne skirts
which she wears in Paris. Indeed, even
in Paris, her only return to feminine
costume is in the substitution of skirts
for trousers. The coat and vest, the
shirt, collars and cuffs are retained

especial eminence in his profession, owing
to the easy comfort of happy surroundings
He had shown occasional flashes of brill

Now all his faculties seemed aroused and

with force and recklessness that achieved
wonders.
In six months time he was famous. Peo-

it was known that young Jacob Lane was to

eloquence carried his listeners along with
him, as if swept on by torrent. 1t soon

This is one of the standing gram
rnatical conundrums with which many
people amuse themselves or annoy their
friends. For both forms of expression
there is the authority both of usage and
Of logic, but the weight of authority Is
probably with those who contend that
the "of" Is sufficient as sign of tho
possessive without the apostrophe and
"s." Nevertheless one may stoutly IN
sist that the sentence is the equivalent
of "a horse of Thompson's ownership
won" It all depends upon the force the
mind gives to "of" and the conception
adopted Of the meaning OF the SEN
tence.-EditOr New York World.
CARLYLE was fond of using such ex-
pressions as ga horse OF Thompson, "
but they have never commended them
selves to the general public. The express
sion "A horse Of Thompson won" ls
not good. "The horse Of Thompson
won is good. The locution "a horse
of 7Aompson's won is a double posses
sive. THAT is horse Of mine" not ga
horse of me-" is certainly the proper
phrase, though this last is as good as
ga horse Of Thompson. The fact that
the expression "a horse Of Thompson
won" is wrong, whilst the expression
q" The horse Of Thompson won " is good,
points out that the phrase "a horse OF
Thompson's won implies that Thompson
had more horses than one, and the phrase
"the horse OF Thompson won implies
that no had only one horse. The GRAMMAR
ans quote the expression "that is pic
ture of mine" as having a very different
meaning from the expression "that Is
picture Of me-" This last is akin to the
locution "that is horse OF him instead
"of his"
When the World says that there is au
thorily for both expressions that papel
speaks truthtully. What it says as tC
the weight Of authority we cannot con
cede to be true. The one expression i
idiomatic English. The other is tolerated
only because used by good writers
though many of these latter are tho mos
careless of persons in the matter o
using good English.
