..sxtravagance in Floral Tributes"

Editor Morning News: It is a pretty
custom,--this Offering Of some sweet
floral tribute in remembrance OF de-
parted loved one,-but this lavish waste
of thousands on floral tributes is wrong
and entirely selfish. Some may say he
with his millions has a right to please
himself in this particular extravag ance;
that he is sufficiently charitable so we
have no right to criticise. Who has the
right to gauge the amount OF charity an
individual should do? Only those whe
suffer can answer this. If the departed
could speak many charities would have
the benefit of these wasted thousands
Poor ambitious youths might be educated
with this money. Youths so educated
would place q. blanket of flowers on the
grave of the departed in the shape Of
blessings. The beauty and fragrance of
such a blanket of flowers would never
die. and its great good would reach
from earth to heaven. Ruth Penn.

With Alexander Hamilton.

From Harper's Weekly
Among those persons living who remem.
Der seeing Aaron Burr is Mr.. Samuel
Shaw, Of the Cooperstown Freeman's
Journal It has been said of Burr that
he never showed the slightest compunc-
ton or regret for his killing of Alexander
Hamilton. In reply TO this statement
made by a public lecturer, Mr.. Shaw tells
the following story: AT the close of the
war Of 1s12-15 Burr and a few army Of
ficers dined with my grandfather. Ny
mother, then about 10 years of age, was
present and she said that while the gem
tlemen tarried at their dessert the sub
ject Of the celebrated duel was introduced;
and one of the gentlemen present asked
Mr. Burr. If not disagreeable, to briefly
narrate the circumstances attending it.
This he at once did. showing no emotion
until he closed by saying: When I shot
Hamilton he seemed to me to jump
nearly his own hight. Then he at once
quit the table, went out upon the piazza.
and walked up and down 1t till the party
broke up. He appeared to be deeply
moved" This was eleven years afer the
duel was fought

The Appointing Power.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In the matter of reorganization of the
benevolent and penal institutions of the
publican doctrine, for several years past,
at least, that the appointing power ought
to be vested in the hands of the Governor.
In 1889 the Republicans both in and out of
the Legislature talked long and loud in OPP
position to the Legislature electing the trus-
tees of those institutions, but that policy
prevailed because the Governor was Repub-
lican and the Legislature was Democratic.
In 1893 the Republicans Joined with a part
of the Democrats and restored the power
to the Governor, which was certainly right.
All of these institutions necessarily have
to have responsible heads, and it seems to
me the Governor is better calculated to look
after these selections than the members of
officers. When the Governor makes an ap-
pointment the a%ppointee is responsible to
him, and, If incompetent, can be removed
at once. Notwithstanding these facts, 1
think the law ought to be so framed that
a majority of each board would come from
votes at the last State election and the
minority of the board from the party that
cast the next highest number, such appoint
ments to be for two years only. 1t is a
w~ell-known fact that a very small per-
centage of the five hundred thousand voters
of the State care a penny who are the
managers of these institutions, whether
Democrats or Republican. Populist or Pro-
hibition, so that they are honest, competent,
humane and economical. This is from an
old Republican. ]. f.
