Whatever else may be done, it is sim
cerely hoped that the bill agreed upon
by the Republican caucus, so far as the
hospitals and other institutions where
careful and trained attendants, and
where instructors are needed, will make
provision for some examination of ap-
plicants for such positions to ascertain
their character and fitness. There need
be no expensive machinery, but, in con-
nection with the State Board Of Chari-
ties and the trustees. a simple but
effective plan of examination should be
devised. This is not the opinion Of the
journal alone, but of many men and
women who have seen the evil and the
danger of the absence of any sort of
examination or inquiry instituted by
law into the character and qualifica-
tions of persons who have the care of
those bereft of reason, and of the young
whom the State has made it's wards.
Such provision, clear and decisive,
will be the most important measure in
the line of practical reform which the
Legislature can make Weeks ago Gen
eral Harrison expressed the humane
sentiment of Indiana when he said to
Speaker Adams that the Legislature
would fail to fulfill Its obligations to
the State If it did not elevate the service
An the benevolent institutions to the
plane of the merit system.

thority to negotiate, but Mr.. Lincoln's
note shows his willingness to receive
overtures for peace at that time on a
proper basis from authorized persons.
In December. 1864. Hon. Francis p.
Blair made another attempt to bring
about a peace negotiation. On the 18th
Blair as follows:
You having shown Mr.. Jefferson Da-
vis's letter to you of the 18th inst, you may
say to him that have constantly been, am
any agent whom he, or any other influential
person now resisting the national authority,
may informally send me, With view of
securing peace TO our common country.
This movement resulted in the APP
pointment by jefferson Davis of three
commissioners. who were met at
Fortress Monroe by Mr.. Lincoln and
Secretary Seward. A conference was
held there on Feb. 3, 1865, which ended
without result. Mr.. Lincoln would not
entertain any overtures of peace ex-
cept on the basis of the restoration of
the national authority throughout all
the States the maintenance and execu-
ton of all the acts of the general gov
eminent relative to slavery and the I'M
conditional laying down of arms by
those in rebellion against the govern
ment. The Confederate commissioners
would not accede to these terms, and
when they reported at Richmond the
failure of their mission Jefferson Davis
sent a special message to the Confed-
crate Congress in which he said:
The enemy refused to enter into aego-
tiations with the Confederate States. or any
one of them separately, or to give our peo-
pie any other terms or guarantees than
those which the conqueror may grant, or
to permit US to have peace on any other
basis than our unconditional submission to
their rule coupled with the acceptance of
their recent legislation on the subject of
the relations between the white and black
population of each State.
This message bore date Feb. 6. 1855.
Within sixty days thereafter Lee had
surrendered and Lincoln was assassi-
mated. The record shows that he was
always for peace with honor. but for
unrelentiag war until the authority of
the government was recognized through
out the entire Union.

A correspondent in communication
In this issue maintains that the groups
of War and Peace for the soldiers mon
ument having been specified by the act
OF 1891. the commission cannot change
them without further legislation. This
may be the case. but an act of 1893 re-
peals the section which contains the re-
quirement for the commissioners to give
bond for the monuments completion
within given period, which also con-
tains the provision regarding the groups
This being the case. is it not probable
that the commission or other authori-
ties may have power to change the char
acter of the groups?

the cascades were not abandoned, and

took to the board an element it had
much needed. He was able to put an
end to the contentious about the dates,
and his insistence has caused the dis
continuance Of two or three salaries
which were not needed. AS matter of
fact, the constant Misrepresentation of
Mr.. English is inspired by those who
desire to get rid of the board of COM
missioners to the end that one of their
ton as custodian or regent. That is the
plain fact about the matter. AS for Mr..
English. his course has met the hearty
approval Of three-fourths of the men
who have cause to be most interested
in a monument in honor Of the Indiana
veterans who died in the war for the
Union. His aim from the first has been
to push the construction of the monu-
ment to completion and to reduce ex-
penses to the minimum. 1t is because
he has done this that he has been mis-
represented and vilified 1t is time that
Republican members Of the Legislature
should know this, and that they should
also know that the same persons who
are trying to use it for personal ends
by assailing Mr.. English, worked with
the Democrats of the last Legislature

minority to restore the monument to
its original design by removing the

The fact that Indiana already has

GENERAL MARKET NEWS

Special Dispatch to. The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, July 27.-The foreign
houses were not in sympathy with the adj
vance in the Changers here yesterday, and
London prices came fractonally lower.
Though the tone of that market was quoted
as firm for Americans" there were no
orders either way. The room traders
started to play for a reaction, but the
bulls proved conclusvely that they were
in control and after little hesitation
after initial prices the upward movement
of yesterday was resumed Burlington,
Rock Island and Northwest were again
taken in hand by the Chicago commission
houses that were so prominent in yester-
days advance. the buying being based on
good crop weather. though the recent
agreement by the trunk lines played a
very important part as it is very evident
that the managers have at last "got to-
gether." Another favorable development
was the announcement that the reorgani-
cation committee of United States Cordage
Company had secured a majority deposit
OF bonds in spite of the opposition of peo-
pie of financial power and influence. This,
while merely an incident, was regarded by
shrewd men in the street" as proof that
when the various railroad reorganizations,
now engaging the attention of the most
experienced men of finance in this coun-
try, are launched, they will be backed by
a support which will assure the success
of the scheme or schemes which may be
proposed
Banks have gained s4.162, 900 in lawful
money. threa-fourths of 1t legal tenders
and practically all of it from the interior.
This and decrease of three-quarters Of a
million In the loans makes the statement a
distinctly unfavorable one, since it re-
fleets an absence Of demand for money.
Some arrangements are being made, how
ever. by southern and western banks for
accommodations a little later on to move
cotton and wheat. The export movement
of gold has collapsed, owing partly to the
free emission of gold by the Bank of
France in connection with the Chinese loan
and also for the reason that recent ship
| ments are now known to have been for
speculative purposes, and those who made
| them have deservedly fallen into disrepute
| in the commercial and financial commune
| ties.
! The detailed statement is as follows:
| Reserve, increase. s., sos, $50; loans, de-
| crease, JO50O; specie. increase. sos, 100;
legals increase, 1928, 500; deposits. in
crease, 81, GA, 600; circulation. decrease, $780,
| GOO.
The stock market, though largely a wait
| ing ore SO far as activity is concerned this
| week, has shown great strength, and il
| now looks as If the larger dealers. who have
been talking bullish on the Granger stocks
| on corn crop prospects. had acted upon
| their convictions in advance Of the matur-
| ity or safety of the crop. A gradual broad
ening of the market is looked for as the
| corn crop approaches condition of safety,
provided no accident occurs.
