GALA DAY AT GALENA.
Unwilling Of the Statue of Ulysses
S. Grant, the Citizen,
kohlsaat. in the Presence of a Vast
Multitude-The Grafton by Hon.
Chauncey NJ. Depew.

GALENA, Ill, June High on an
eminence in the city that he once
claimed as his home, almost casting it's
shadows in the setting sun over the old
house that sheltered his family during
the period that at the very front he was
fighting or directing the battles for the
preservation of his country and the
continuation of the Union, magnificent
monument to The Old Commander
was yesterday formally unveiled with
impressive ceremonies. An Immense
throng tthe number was variously
estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000
peoplel participated in the services.
Business was entirely suspended.
Shortly after II o'clock two special
trains from Chicago brought in lnrge
number of distinguished guests. Among
them were Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew,
of New York. the orator of the day;
eX-Gov. and Mrs. Hoard. of Wisconsin;
Gen. and Mrs. Nelson \. Miles, Judge
and Mrs. Walter Q. Gresham, John
Gellert, the sculptor of the monument;
James W. Scott, of the Chicago Herald.
TO whose suggestion and energy is MAIN
ly due the existence of Grant park, the
beautiful breathing spot within which
the monument is located, and Mrs.
Scott: I'll. III. kohlsaat. the donor OF the
monument: Senator Cullom, Senator
Allison. Congressman Henderson. of
Iowa; Judge Blodgett, and more than
200 others. With the Chicago delega-
ton came the famous Fifteenth regi-
ment band from Fort Sheridan, and
there were in the city no less than fif-
teen other musical organizations from
various points in Illinois and Wiscon-
sin.
The distinguished visitors were met
at the depot by an immense crowd and
heartily greeted.
Soon afterward the parade moved
from the DeSoto house corner, over
5000 Grand Army veterans, the visit

SITUATION OF THE TREASURY.
Republican Tricks to Keep the Truth
from the People.

hepuDllCdH lTlcks ~ NeeP eho Al ueA
from the People.
The financial sharps of the republic
an party are protesting rather too
much. They pretend that the treasury
is not the least bit embarrassed, and
not likely to become so: and yet their
own statements distinctly imply that
Extraordinary means will have to be
employed to meet liabilities about to
mature.
1t has been stated that the present
surplus is not more than S12, 900, 900.
This is not a democratic statement
merely. 1t occurs in an article in a re-
publican paper, written for the express
purpose of showing that there is''plenty
of money to pay the AZ per cents But
Mr.. Leech, director of the mint. comes
forward and says there is an available
cash balance of S25S, 900, 900. This is a
very remarkable discrepancy, and
shows on its face that the parties to the
two statements arc proceeding upon
different theories. Mr.. Leech distinctly
confirms this by attacking the system
of keeping the treasury books. He
proposes to treat the hundred millions
set apart for redeeming greenbacks.
and the money issued on recent depos-
its of silver, etc, as available assets,
although these several sums have not
been SO treated heretofore. In other
words, he is trying to confuse the pub
lie mind by introducing discussions Of
methods of bookkeeping, concerning
which little is generally known.
Mr.. Leech's figures prove altogether
too much. If there were really $685.
0e0, 900 of available assets, as that term
has been understood heretofore, there
would have arisen no discussion as to
the methods by which the AZ per cent.
bonds are to be met. Changing the
method of statement does not put dol
lar more into the treasury, or render
the claims against it cent less. The
fact remains that until the billion
dollar congress began its baleful ac-
tivity there was a large surplus in the
treasury according to the present sys-
tenn of bookkeeping; now, the surplus
is virtually gone, and a deficit is i'm
pending unless a new method of state
ment is devised to conceal the real
state of affairs. 1t is proposed to avoid
deficit by changing the meaning OF
the word.
1t is also worthy of notice that diff
| ferent authorities give very differ
| ent plans for avoiding possible trouble
in regard to paying the AZ per
cent. bonds, which will fall due in
| September. The article mentioned,
| which begins with the assertion
that there is plenty Of money to
| pay these bonds, runs smoothly and
sweetly along to the conclusion that
| it will not be necessary to pay three

Cleveland is popular because his

Senator Quay is undecided
whether to go abroad for the benefit OF
his health or not To do almost any
thing except what he has been doing
for the last ten years would benefit the
senator's health.-Chicago Times.

Portable suspicion that if he were
offered the republican nomination he
would recover as quickly as the Steve
Elkins syndicate can skin a seal.-St.
Louis Republic.
The plain fact is the republican
party is in favor of Capitalization Of

1t is announced on good author
ity that the billion-dollar congress
added more than 1,70O places to the

the majority of the cases, the offices
were created with a no higher purpose

THE PRESIDENTS DISCOVERY.
Important Consequences of His Tour in
the South.


the South.
President Harrison is back in Wash
ington from a long and successful tour
of the country. He seems to have had
a good time, and the trip ought to be of
service to him in more ways than as
affording a change of scene. He has
made great many speeches, and they
have been as a rule very credltab bic,
while he has not stopped over any
where. There has been considerab BILE
speculation as to the effect of the tour
upon Mr.. Harrison's personal fortunes.
No reason appears for attaching any
special Importance to it in this respect
He returns the same sort of figure in
his party that he started-its nominal
head, but without the slightest hold
upon its affection or enthusiasm. 1t
still remains as necessary as before for
his son to explain through his newspa-
per that the father is really great
man, and the prospect of being obliged
by force of circumstances to support
him for second term is no more at
tractive to republicans generally than
it was month ago.
There has been one political result of
Importance from the trip, however and
it is most fortunate one for the coun-
try. The patriotic tone of the presi-
dents speeches in the southern states,
his abandonment of the force bill pol
icy, his recognition that it is by me
cbanical and commercial development
that Qualification of heart and interest
is to come-all this involved something
more than rhetoric. 1t meant not only
that Mr.. Harrlson's eyes had been
opened, but also that his party never
could go back to the narrow sectional
policy which during the first half of his
term he had tried SO hard to impose
upon the country. The trip was well
worth taking for such a result as this.
As the Galveston (Tex.) News recently
said in commenting upon the subject:
cit is no small matter that the vast in
fuence of the republican press of the
north must now be turned in a direc-
ton favorable to the elimination of
sectional prejudice, a task heretofore
left largely to the independent papers. )"
1t is a curious circumstance that the
most important consequence of the
presidents journey should be one which
nobody anticipated when he started
the final burial of the bloody shirt.-N.

SOLICITING SUPPORT.
Republican TwaddIe About the Presi-
dents Great Trip.


dents Great Trip.
With extraordinary assurance the
administration organ says of the presi-
dents speeches in the south that he
frankly and candidly' set forth his
views upon all those questions on
which the views Of that section are di-
vergent from his own.
Did he? In which of his southern
speeches did he venture to explain to
the southern people why he regards
them as even unfit to be intrusted with
the conduct of their elections without
the paternal supervision of Quay, Dud-
ley and their agents? In what south
ern speech did he expound the necessi-
ty for a ''bayonet behind every bal
lot?" Where in the south did he assert
that the negro vote is wickedly sup
pressed, and condemn its suppression
as .'franl1ly and candidly" as he con-
demned polygamy in Utah, territory
that has no electoral votes?
What is the use of talking folderol
and misrepresenting facts perfectly ia
miliar to every reader of ordinary in
tellgence?
The fact is that in none of Mr.. Harri-
sons one hundred and thirtynine
speeches did he frankly and candidly"
deal with questions upon which parties
are divided He spoke with good
deal of rhetorical grace, but with very
great care not to offend anybody likely
to be of use to him in securing his re-
nomination and reelection.
The trip was a great electioneering
tour, and was conducted after the man
ner of man soliciting support by all
the arts known to HMM. Y. World
