A DESERVED TRIBUTE no rHE PRESS.

The unveiling OF the monument to the
late Editor Grady at Atlanta day before
yesterday was great event. W. d.
Grady was an eloquent and magnetic
man, whose services were of incalculable
value in creating the new South. He
accepted the results of the war for the
Union, and sought to upbuild the pros
perity of his section and heal the wounds
which remained after a fratricidal con-
fict. Like many another gifted man he
was cut off in the flower of his manhood,
having scarcely entered upon middle
age. AS the editor of the Atlanta Con-
stitution he was great power for good
to his section and to the country.
But it is not of Grady personally that
we desire to speak. The representative
people of the South were on hand in
countless numbers to do him honor, and
not few significant men were there
from the North. Amongst the latter
was Governor Hill, who delivered the
address commemorative of Grady. In
the course of his speech the governor
referred to the press, of which the de-
ceased was such shining ornament,
and we reproduce his remarks in the
HERALD
sit is our best security for the pres
ervation of our political institutions, our
best safeguard against the perversion of
our government, against loading it up
with private business. To our editors
1rol y6on ial md mt
ralization stand unrebuked by those to
whom ballots have entrusted that re-
sponsibility. The freedom and growth
OF the press will at last invigorate that
clause of our constitution which with
holds from the government all but few
specific and expressly granted powers.
Better every just expansion of private
freedom than any growth of govern
mental function-still more, of govern
mental usurpation."
Nothing could be truer than this. If
it were not for the press the United
States would be confscated within a
twelve-month. 1t is an impregnable
bulwark against wrong of every kind.
1t arrests the mad projects OF anarchists
and draws the rein on monopoly and
spoliation. 1t was Thomas Jefferson
who said he would rather live in a coun-
try with newspapers and without gov
eminent than in country with a gov
eminent and without newspapers.
Since Jefferson's time the press has be-
come tremendous power, and has
multiplied with the energy of the grain
of mustard seed in Christ's parable.
And it is well, indeed, that this has been
the case. Without its protean force,
Argus eyes and Briarean hands might
would have become so entrenched in
this mercenary age that nothing could
dislodge it.

currences that have been reported re-
Gently are of graver character. The
situation between the Vatican and
the Quirinal has become quite
strained, and the old rumor of
an approaching departure of the pope
from Rome is being revived. Should
such an event be precipitated very
grave complications would arise. First
would come the disposition of the ines
Unable treasures OF the Vatican, which
are undoubtedly the property of the
pontiffs of the Roman Catholic church,
and which have been accumulated
through their liberality for centuries, and
through the devotion of countless mil
lions of Catholics to the Holy See. The
Catholic world would scarcely submit to
seeing the popes robbed of these treas
ures, distinctively their own, and on a
question of common honesty Catholics
and Protestants would be one in senti-
ment. From any aspect the question is
one of the most sensational that could
possibly arise. But the last ten years of
the nineteenth century are certain to
abound in sensational questions, both
spiritual and temporal.

THE PRESIDENT GETS MOVE ON
HIMSELF.

There are some things in which all
Americans are at one, and one Of them
is embodied in the sentiment of the
American statesman who exclaimed,
My country right or wrong" Pres
ident Harrison talks in a very American
way in the kilograms published else
where. While we lament the miserable
diplomacy which plunged this country
into a false attitude towards Chile, the
HERALD, in common with all Americans,
deprecates the slaughter of unarmed
American sailors in the harbor of Val
paraiso. Our gallanS Jack Tars were
found to be stabbed in the back.
President Harrison is reported as
saying that he will not per-
NIT such things to happen at the hands
of any country. And right he is. A
peremptory demand will be made upon
Chile for reparation for this outrage, and
it will be supported by four American
cruisers. Back of these four cruisers
there ought to be somewhere on the
high seas hundred iron-clads, with the
most approved modern ornaments. 1t
has been calculated that, at the gait at
which we are now progressing, the
United States will have navy inside of
ten years. This advance ought to be
expedited. If we cannot build vessels
fast enough in our own navy yards we
ought to have them built in Glasgow, or
h. md
quickest. Time was when no nation
would have dared to insult the United
States, and when such an occurrence as
that which took place at Valparaiso
would have been impossible. If the
Chileans choose to ignore the fact that
nine-tenths of the people Of the United
States sympathized with the Congress
sional party in the late struggle, well
and good. The American people do not
like assassination, and, least Of all, the
assassination of their own gallant
sailors in a foreign port. The junta
have been remarkably slow in offering
any apology for the outrage. Their
sense of the obligations they lie under
to the United States ought to be quick
ened. In this phase of the Chilean
question and OF our foreign relations
generally the people of the United States
will go hand and hand with Mr.. Harri-
son and Secretary Tracy, although they
are perfectly aware of the fact that it is
owing to the policy of the Republican
party, which destroyed our navy and
merchant marine, that such insults are
nossihle

IT WILL be rather difficult to get up
anything like distress in the United
States this year. The comparative
grain statement of Henry Clews & Co.,
for 1890 and 1891, shows that the ex-
portable surplus of grain for the former
year, including all the cereals, was 49,,
600 900 bushels, valued at $48,l50 900.
For the latter, or current year, however,
it is $3.50, ,25O, 900, the value being reck-
oned at New York, the port of export.
This gives us the nice little balance of
$491, ,100, 900 in favor of this year over
last. This estimate was based upon a
supposed yield of 600, 900, 900 bushels of
wheat, but the latest reports show that
the total amount will foot up $50, 900, 900,
which will bring up the value of the ex-
portable surplus atNew York towithin
trife of 5000 100000, and to much
higher figure should famine prices pre-
vail in Europe. The balance of trade in
our favor this year, in our dealings with
the outside world, will be unprecedented
in amount and the bulk of it will be paid
in gold.

Hon. RICARDO L. TRUMBULL, whois now
on trial before the United States district
court, for violating the neutrality laws,
was a member of the Chilean congress
which refused to submit to the dictation
of Balmaceda. After the triumph of the
revolutionists, an election for members
of congress was ordered to take place on
October 18th. Mr.. Trumbull received
telegram yesterday announcing his re-
election to congress. He naturally feels
gratified at the confidence thus mani
tested by his countrymen. The only
obstacle to the acceptance by Mr.. Trum-
bull of hisrenewed congressional honors,
is the criminal prosecution now pending.

Attractions.

The Lunch and Dinner Prove Great
Attractions.
The success of the Orphans fair con-
tinues unabated, last nights attendance
being the largest crowd yet, the money
realized exceeding any other night.
AS is usual at noon the ladies in charge
of the lunch-room have been kept busy
attending to the large patronage OF bust
ness men particularly, who, one and all,
agree in pronouncing this the best
dinner of the kind ever held in the city.
The public has been so profuse in dona-
tions and the ladies understanding the
art OF cooking so we'll that it has proven
simply irresistible to the local epicures.
The high livers have just learned what
high living really is, the coffee alone be-
ing worth the price of the whole meal.
The things are replenished each day and
the patron always given more than he
can eat.
The programme was well carried out

The Southern Pacific people are hold

the great interest that is taken in the

trotting race of Southern California has
created a widespread interest and
should be seen by all who care about
turf matters. All the time schedules

JUST now great many things are
taking place which knock old saws and
even modern instances out of counte-
nance. For instance, his holiness, the
pope, seems to be having rather hard
time of it. Who but recalls the blithe-
some strains;
The pope he leads happy life-happy life
He knows nor cares not married strife-marred
strife;
He drinks the best of Rhenish wine,
] would the popes gay lot were mine.
1t is just possible that the controver-
sizes with Bismarck may have inter
rupted the influx of Rhenish wine to
the Vatican, but as Pope Leo is an ex-
ceedingly frugal man, that gave him
very little trouble, doubtless. The oc-

JUDGE Ross, in the Itata case, made
a ruling which is undoubtedly in con.
sonance with international law. The
government had procured the attend
ance of the Chilean consul in San
Francisco to testify in that case. and
that gentleman, Thursday, pleaded his
consular privilege as an immunity
from going on the stand. The judge
promptly sustained the plea. Day by
day the sorrow grows with sensible
Americans that this case, which ought
never to have arisen, is not dismissed.
