heath nf Mr. GrnrCe v. AbeIl.

In announcing the death Of Mr.. George
w. Abell its manager and one ot us
proprietors. the Baltimore Sun OF yester-
day SAYS: while sharing fully with MS
brother. Mr.. Edwin +. Abel. all the
serious and manifold responsibilities OF
the management Of their fathers large
estate. Of which they were constituted
by his will trustees. the more active
and immediate direction Of this paper.
had. by mutual consent and agreement
between the brothers, devolved upon the
younger OF the two, the now deceased
and lamented George w. Abel
''He had been especially prepared and
fitted for this position during the lifetime
of their father. the venerable founder or
the Sun. who. in his declining years, had
largely entrusted the management and
direction of this paper 20 his son George.
after the death of their father, there
was absolute harmony and sympathy in
Judgment and opinion between the sons,
and George W. Abel remained in the posi-
ton for which his father had especially
selected and designed him. He brought
TO the great responsibility which that
position involved. not only the experience
acquired under his fathers tuition, but
the most generous enthusiasm and the
noblest and Hottest conception Of what
the mission Of a great newspaper and
the duty of the publisher and editor or
such a newspaper should be-
Those who knew him best know how
deeply impressed he was at all times.
how seriously oppressed at times, with
the sense OF his responsibility and the
earnestness and intensity of his desire
to do and to say that which was best
for the good OF the public. He realized
the influence and power Of the sun, and
in the extreme simplicity, modesty. md
nobility Of his character he felt hun oled
by the thought that so great power
should be placed i'm his hands. The pub
lie has never had a more unsellsh and
conscientious servant in any position,
public or private, than George W. Abel.
This is the testimony Of those who shared
his labors and responsibilities. who knew
his thoughts and were accustomed TO re-
ceive his instructions.
HE was the most unassuming Of men.
He was content to do without claiming
or receiving the credit for doing. He
shrunk from the praise which most men
would have coveted. In all his actions
in reference to public affairs. as in his
private charities. which were boundess,
his chief desire seemed TO be that his
right hand should not know the good
that his other hand was doing"
In conclusion, the Sun article says:
at is the fond belief however. Of those
who lived and worked with him and
under him, who drew inspiration daily
from his patriotism, his public spirit,
his devotion TO principle. his courage AMI
unselfshness that the good which he
has done will live after him. that the
seeds which h has sown will bear fruit
in after time. and that the Sun, upon
the plane and on the lines on which he has
so largely helped TO place it, Will con-
tinue to render good service to the public,
TO State. and to people.

EyPENSE AND Di6aGkEbABLECh GROSS
FXAMINATIONs MUST BE En-



DURED.
Discussing the Stanton case the DIS
patch says 1t was less than twenty-four
hours after the two negroes were haheeu
at Manassas when Spiller committed ms
crime at Stanton. The logic oil this 10
plainly towards lynching in such cases
being a stronger deterrent than the or
derlv execution Of the criminal after a
fair trial according TO law
The length of time that had elapsed
between the execution at Manassas ana
the Grim, at Stanton can plainly have
no place in the discussion, because the
negro Spiler may. most reasonably, not
have heard Of it. The very fact referred
TO by the Dispatch. the brief interval. is
the surest evidence that he had not
heard of it, But whether he had or
not we must adhere to the methods OF
the law in this, as in all other cases. or
we shall become barbarians and drift into
anarchy and chaos. The Dispatch says
that in the Manassas case the State was
put to an expense of $500, land one OF the
female witnesses against the accused
was cross-examined in a most disagree
able fashion"
We must stand the expense and the
"disagreeabie cross-examinauoh also
We cannot give up our civilization on
question Of expense or because indi-
viduals may be sometimes forced into
very distressing situations.

For women in business there IS no style
OF dress so useful as that made Win Jach

gown to a street dress.
During the day. while she IS occupied
VITA her Cuties in Ciiice or schooi-rOoi"'
she may be comfortable in her cool shirt
waist. OF the latter there are many
kinds. There is the one with the stun
collar and front like a mans shirt, when
cannot be worn without the jacket. Then
there is the one with stiff front and collar
which is passable without jacket THESE
have a box plat stitched on both SIDES
down the front, and they fasten "i'h
gold buttons.
Other shirt waists are made with turn
down collars They are made mostly OF
percaIe. Some pretty ones are made OF
dimi:y and white swiss, but these are
rather delicate for common wear.
The thin ones made Of lawn are intended
TO be worn without a jacket. They are
tr.Inue. in different ways. SINE have
a surpllce front trimmed with ruflles.
Nearly all have q belt with hounce
gathered on to follow the fashion OF an
added basque ! have seen some very
prrtiy tifck sillS waists made in mis-
way.
Almost anything may be used as front
when the jacket Is not 10 be removed.
Every one is familiar with the practice
Of making a front by crossing a silk hand
kerchief at the neck. sash, bit
Of silk or chiffon, serves just as well.
The dress in the picture has a front
Of embroidered crcpon, crossed diagonally
al the waist with a narrow ribbon. The
jacket is quite long. The edges and the
polygon pockets are stitched. as is also
the skirt The bow at TIE neck Is softer
than the mannsh stock or four-in-hand
which so many women affect.

PASS THE BILL.

We have repeatedly said in these
columns that the only obstacle now in
the way Of a revival of business ana
prosperity in this country is the delay
In final action on the tariff bill. singu-
lar evidence of the correctness of this
is the following call for a public meet
ing in New York, which has been signed
by some hundred and twenty-five OF the
leading business houses of New York
city.
In view Of the disastrous consequences
TO every branch of business Of the pro-
longed uncertainty in respect to the maj
disposition OF the tariff bill now IN the
Senate Of the United States.
IAN citizens who have supported tariff
reform and who believe that speedy
massage of the bill with or without the
income taxi is now of vastly greater inn
portance to the country than the differ
ences between the House and Senate in
respect to the details OF the measure,
are invited to attend a mass meeting 10
be held at Cooper Union on Thursday,
the third day Of May. 1894, to adopt
resolutions respectfully urging upon
the Senate the immense Importance
Of passing the bill without further
delay, and of terminating the present
disastrous uncertainty in respect both
to time of the passage of the bill
and its character when passed.
The income tax is as Objectionable to
the signers of this call as any measure
can possibly be, yet they recognize the
Importance of final action as being far
above the injustice of the income tax.
and they know where they are hurt. The
income tax should be dropped, but
whether dropped or not, the bill should BE-
passed at once. The country is suffering
untold calamities by each day that final
action is postponed.

DIR. johnson is one Of those finely built
men who would attract attention any
where. His gray hair, heavy gray
eyebrows and clear, piercing eyes are
apt to suggest severity. The contrary
Is true of the divine, who is a pleasant
man to meet. Possessed of strength of
mind and body, he is peculiarly fitted
to occupy the position he holds in the
church. Determination is written on
every line of DIR. Johnson's face and is
apparent in his every act. As an illus
tration of this trait of his character it.
Is only necessary to refer to the cele-
brated fight he made last year against

tne employees OF the mousse. Ire sem
ate has proportionately a great many
more employees than are allotted to the
house. The lightweight senator's EN-
ploye forty-tive messengers, and the
three hundred and fiftv-six representa-
yves only nITy-one. The ratio Is fully as
great as to other employees. The duties
of the house employees are, therefore,
far more more arduous than those Of
the employees in the senate. They
work six days week, while the senate
employees work only four, and get near
ly twenty-five per cent. more salary.
The sergeant-at-arms of the house GER
tainly has more work TO keep the ac-
counts of the three hundred and fifty
six members than the sergeant-at-arms
of the senate to keep the accounts of
the lightweight senators. And still he
gets far less pay. The senate usually
adjourns on Thursday over to Monday.
The house remains in session through
out the week
