regretted that so many judges do not

The case of James A. Wood furnishes an

AN IMPENDING FINANCIAL CRISIS.

II Senator Voorhees, is correctly reported,
portance of an early disposition of the tar
if question. He says the business interests
of the country demand it, and that he VIII
do all in his power to expedite Senate &C
position. This is right, but there is another
matter of great Importance pressing for the
immediate action of Congress. This is the
duty of averting national bankruptcy and
dishonor consequent upon the inability of
the government TO meet accruing liabilities.
The government is In the position Of a man
whose expenditures largely exceed his in
come, and who is confronted with the in
evitable exhaustion of his bank account.
The available balance In the treasury is
lower than it has been for many years,
and decreasing every day. The revenues
Of the government are falling off at an
alarming rate, while it's expenditures do not
diminish at all. The deficit during Deem
Der was nearly $1,000. 600, and there is a

s7O,0OO,O O unless something is done to avert
it. There is no certainty that the tariff
bill as finally passed, If, indeed, il shall be
passed at all, will supply the means of
providing for this deficit, and even If there
were the government could not wait. The
situation is too urgent for that, the crisis
is too close. Something must be done at
once, and the question is, what? In the
opinion Of the Journal il is a case where
wisdom unite in a common verdict. The
government should borrow money. The Sec
rotary OF the Treasury should Immediately
be authorized to issue bonds in a sum sufi-
cient to replenish the treasury, and place
beyond any doubt the ability Of the gov>
eminent to meet its a~ccruing liabilities
without drawing further on the gold re-
serve. This is by far the speediest, safest
and wisest way of meeting the present
financial point of view. it is the only way.
An issue Of s1OO, 0OO, 600 of gold-bearing bonds
would not only give stability to the treas
ury, but would bring into circulation the
millions now boarded in the banks and
contribute materially TO the restoration of
better times. This matter should receive
the immediate attention of Congress. 1t is
fully as important as the tariff question.

AN ECONOMIC MILLENNIUM.
Pleasing Conditions Predicted for the
Twentieth Century.

Edward Atkinson, in McClure's Magazine.
In the twentieth century the private sol
der in the armies OF Europe will have
learned what fools men are to fight. When
that time comes, hunger, now promoted by
the waste OF preparation for war, will nave
ceased. The barriers of hostile tariffs now
separating European countries will have
been thrown down. Men will have become
free to serve each other In the supply OF all
ceased to be honored. The well-trained Of
fcers of the armies will have been pro-
noted from their present worse than USE
less positions to become captains Of in
dustry. They will then hold positions OF
power and influence, carrying peace, good
will and plenty among all the nations Of
the earth. Dynasties will have been de-
posed. Rulers who now claim to rule by
birth or privilege, and who have attempted
20 resist the will of the private soldiers
drawn from the ranks of the people. will
have been overcome by force If necessary.
Men when ordered to turn their bayonets
against each other will nave turned them
on those by whom the orders were given.
Government of the people, by the people
and for the people will have been estab-
lished in Europe as firmly as IL now is in
the United States.
Science will have gained control over the
nitrogen OF the atmosphere. The soil, no
longer worked as a mine, but as a labora-
tory, will then supply the abundance OF
food, fuel, fiber and fabric necessary to
abundance. The man who possesses aver
age intelligence coupled with industry, and
who is governed by a personal religion
based on reason and not on superstition.
!. will be so sure of material welfare that IL
will not pay to be rich.

Communication to Senator Logan
Touching the Campaign.

Washington Special in Chicago Tribune.
While searching the archives in the War
Department recently a letter Was unearthed
from General Grant 20 Senator Logan, writ
ten about ten years ago, and while the
General was confined to his room from in
juries received by a fall in New York. At
the time of the accident he was in the act
of handing a cabman $40 as a present when
his feet slipped and he fell upon the side
walk just in front of his residence. The
letter was dictated by the General to his
stenographer, Frank +. Wood, and was
written in response to a communication
from Senator Logan, who was engaged in
conducting a political campaign in the West.
BY some means the letter was
the history of the Nashville campaign il
became mixed up with those papers. 1t has
no bearing whatever upon the conduct OF
the war, and has been regarded by the
authorities at the War Department as the
personal property OF Mrs. Logan. TO whom il
has been sent. This letter, which is dated
Feb. II, 1884, has never yet been published
and relates to the order relieving General
Thomas from his command after the battle
of Nashville. 1t reads as follows:

GONE
A Democratic Paper Gives Reasons
o Changing Its Political Faith.

Richmond Independent.
Beginning with this issue the Independent
becomes a Republican paper. and will be-
published so hereafter. We have concluded
TO do this after a most careful considera-
ton of the matter. While il will be our
aim and purpose 10 treat the opposition
justly and fairly, the Independent will be
from this time on Enthusiastically Repub-
lican. This because we are firmly con-
WINGED by results now known that the
policy of the Democratic party is such as
most seriously INJURIES the business OF the
country and retardS national, State and
individual prosperity. BY reason of the
legislative incapacity, resultant from a lack
of agreement among Democrats themselves
as to what laws should be enacted, the bus
mess of the country is in a chaos of I'M
certainty, and the party i'm power applies
no remedy and is not likely 10 do so. We
cannot agree with the declared principles
of the Democratic party on the tariff queS-
ton, and TO it's error on that question,
due the existing hard times and the de-
plorable condition of the laboring men.
While tariff reduction might with some
reason be urged in certain lines, already
more has been lost TO the business world
by the proposed carrying out of the tarir
declaration contained in the Chicago plat
form than the most sanguine tariff re-
former can hope to save the people by
the Wilson bill. There is no present ne
cesSity for disturbing the tar1n, and IL Is
TO be hoped that by the aid Of Democrats
Republicans may, in the Senate. defeat the
Wilson bill.
The policy Of the administration on the
pension question is such that the OLD sol
diers are prejudiced and have come to re-
gard the Democratic party as opposed 10
them. Ii is true that Senator Voorhees,
ami other leading Democrats have de-
nounced Hoke Smith, but il has only had
the effect to make him defiant, md the ad-
ministration seems to continue bis emphatic
pension policy, and thus is the Democratic
party being shorn Of its strength.
We believe the policy Of the administra-
ton on the Hawaiian question to be un-
American, wrong and unpatriotic and
guided in part, at least, by a Secretary OF
State in a way TO crafty his malice to-
wards ex-President Harrison The more
the facts are developed, the more apparent
1t becomes that a wrong and even danger
Gus course has been taken in this matter.
So far the present administration has
done nothing to better the trade and busi-
ness condition of the country except to re-
peal the Sherman silver purchase law, and
but for the aid of Republicans that would
not have been accomplished.
So far as the corrupt administration Of
affairs is concerned we admit that there
are corrupt men in the Republican as we'll
as in the Democratic party, and we shall
as editor of a Republican paper at all times
be as ready and willing TO expose Repub-
lican corruption as to expose corruption
In the opposite party, and we shall be just
and fair to all.

If five thousand names were voted on at
the late election fraudulently in Chicago,
as the papers assert, it is the first duty
which the Republicans of that city owe to
popular government to punish as many
of the rascals as they can lay hands on.
In New York a hundred ballot box GRIM
inals have been indicted. They may escape,
because the new district attorney is a
plant tool of Tammany. but in Chicago.
where all the judges are men of independ-
ence, the legal machinery can be made to
punish such offenders. If one hundred of
those scoundrels are convicted, the others
will be very chary next fall. If not, they
will cast ten thousand fraudulent votes next
November.

The Kokomo Tribune prints the follow
ing address. made on Saturday last by the
president of the Crystal plate-glass works
Of that city, to it's six hundred employees.
He said:
In conformity with a notice which was
duly posted on the 18th inst, the works
closed, as stated in the notice, until such
time as the company and its employees can
agree uron the new scale OF wages.
The occasion which renders a readjust-
ment of wages absolutely necessary is
found in the present demoralized condition,
in all other Industrial occupations involv-
ing the employment of labor, and is in
strong contrast with the conditions of pros
perity that prevailed a little over a year
ago. when the factory wheels were turning
and labor was finding steady and profitable
employment. To go into details with re-
spect to the extraordinary change which
has taken place within the space of a little
more than twelve months would introduce
the question of politics, which | have nei-
Their the inteation nor inclination to discuss
at this time beyond stating that a year ago
last November the workingmen voted for
a change in the Industrial policy OF the
government, with the respect now before
them Of getting a good deal more of a
change than they bargained for.
In other words, with the change of adj
ministration we are to have, as far as the
present administration can it,, a
fear OF which is the direct cause of so many
idle mills, factories, workshops and men
throughout the entire country.
1t remains, therefore, for you to say
whether or not we shall partially resume
operations early In January, or whether
these works shall remain closed indefinitely.
A new scale of wages is being prepared and
will be presented to you 1 hope by the day
after New Years.
No doubt a large number Of the men to
whom these remarks were addressed voted
for Grover Cleveland on the Chicago plat
form which denounced protection and de-
manded the immediate repeal of the Nc
Kinley law. If it were to do over again
perhaps they wouldn't.
