Secretary Gre.ham.. Death.

In the death OF the Secretary OF State.
Walter @ Gresham. The administration
has lost one OF its ablest members. and
the country a great and noble public man.
He was an excellent soldier in the civil
war, and the distinction he won in that
conflict was the result Of genuine merit
In civil-life he was placed in responsible
positions because he possessed uncom-
mon ability and had the confidence OF his
fellow citizens TO a marked degree
Whether on the bench OF in the cabinet.
he gave evidence Of such wisdom. pru-
dence and judgment that he was often in
the minds Of the people as a ft man for
the highest office in their gift
At one time he was regarded as a trust
ed leader OF the Republican party. but
during the last few years Of his life he
was bitterly and unjustly assailed by the
papers OF that party because a change in
his Views on important public questions
led him into the Democratic party. There
is no doubt. however. that he was entire,
" sincere in abandoning certain doctrines
Of the Republican party and accepting
principles OF the Democratic party. The
republican leaders. however could not for
give him for leaving a party that had
honored him with two great judicial Of
fees and cabinet portfolio. and yet with
his changed views of certain political
questions he would have been unworthy
Of honor il he had remained a member Of
the Republican party
His administration Of the office Of Secre-
tary Of State was admirable 1t is true
THAI it did not give satisfaction to those
who desire to annex Hawaii to the United
States, nor to those who wanted this coun-
try to adopt a jingo policy in the Corinto
AFFAIR. but his course was approved by
thinking men who believe in doing what is
right and in unfolding the honor OF the
United states in a firm and digniied man
ner. History will say that the attitude
of this government in the Hawaiian and
Corinto affairs was the correct one. not
withstanding the efforts of the critics of
the administration to make it appear 9TH
erwise.
Now that the secretary is dead. much Of
the political bitterness of which he was the
victim during the last two or three years
of life will disappear and even those who
condemned him most will be willing to ad-
init that he was one of the purest men in
public life and one of the nations great
men.

The new state of Utah contemplates try
ing an interesting experiment in jury re-
form. 1t is proposed that eight men shall
constitute a jury in civil cases, and that
three-fourths of the panel shall have the
power to render a verdict. Under such a
system disagreements and mistrials would
probably be almost unknown. In almost
every instance of a deadlocked jury, the
trouble is caused by one'or two stubborn
jurors who refuse to think with the ma
jority, sometimes for very good reasons
and sometimes for very bad ones. If
three-fourths of a jury had the power to
render verdict, jury bribing would be
very difficult, as well as costly, IN case the
jurors were corruptible.

Let the silver organs devote more tinae

minor matters as whether or not there

babblings about inconsistency have ten

three years ago. The Memphis conven-

1t is amusing to note some of the South
ern" republicans that are being suggested
as candidates on the next national ticket;
for instance, Judge Nathan Golf of West
Virginia. by stephen B. Elkins, and An
thony Higgins of Delaware, by the New
York Sun. are suggested for the vice presi-
deney. While these eminent suggesters
were about it, why did they not suggest
southern republicans to go on the tick
cts along with Gon or Higgins? There
are Reed of Maine. and Mckinley of Ohio.
who might pose as southern republicans
with about as much propriety as Goff and
Higgins.

A correspondent of the Morning News
calls attention 20 the suggestion, often re-
peated, that the iron fence around For
syth Place be removed. There is no good
reason why the fence should remain. Years
ago, when hogs, goats and COWS were per-
mitted the freedom of the streets it was
a necessity. but now it is a useless eyesore.
There has been really no opposition to the
removal of the fence from around the park
for years. The few well meaning people
who might oppose its removal have but to
reflect upon the improvement made to the
squares by the removal of the rail-
ings around them. Who would have the
squares under fence again? And so it would
be with the park. 1t may. be expected that
If the city council were to start in to have
the fence removed there would be few
cranks who would rush into print to pro-
test; but those who usually kick against
such Improvements are well known. and
great Importance need never be attached
TO their kicks.

The paper manufacturers say that their
business is rather peculiar, in that it does
not feel depression in business as soon
as do other branches of trade, but that the
bad effects of depression in general trade
are felt in paper manufacturing long after
other lines have begun to recover their
normal conditions Thus, several of the
big paper mills Of New England say that
they are just beginning to feel the effects
of the revival. They are feeling it pretty
strongly now, however. Consumers are
ordering large stocks, and many of the
mills are beginning to run on extra time.
Speaking of extra time in mills the report
from the wooden mills at New Brunswick,
y. j., is that several of them are running
night and day. and that they have orders
long way ahead. In iron manufactur-
ing about the same condition of affairs
is reported. In the bicycle trade there is
famine of certain leading wheels which
the manufacturers have been unable to
relieve, even by working night and day.
Many of them are reported to be six weeks
behind their orders. These facts do not
coincide with the assertion of the populists
that there is a money famine in the coun-
try.

The President and silver.
The Springfield (NIassD Republican Qnd.

There is absolutely no ground for be-
lieving that President Cleveland is so far
hostile 10 the bimetallc policy as to Cp-
pose an international conference. A relia-
BILE Washington correspondent declares
the contrary to be the truth, and that
the President is holding off now because
he believes it to be the best tactics to
force Europe to take the initiative. This
correspondent goes so far as to assert
that if by next winter no European gev-
eminent moves in the matter. the Presi-

why 1t Was Not Taken Seriously.
NC Charleston News and Courier dam

Gen. John NJ. Schoield of the army says
that there is no truth in the report that
he would be a candidate for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination on free
coinage platform, and he had never given
any consideration to the question" The
story started in Atlanta we believe, ana
was therefore never seriously regarded by
any Of the serious people of the country.

A Kernel of Fact.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem).

Secretary Carlisle told his auditors
at Bowling Green, KY, on Saturday that
there is not a silver standard country in
the world that has more than one-third
of the circulation per capita that the
United States has. That one nugget of
solid fact is worth untold volumes of the
DRY on the per capita business and 1t is the
answer to those who contend that there is
lack of circulation in the channels Of
trade, and that an unlimited flow of sill
yer would convert the business tide into a
flood of prosperity.

II seems that the ex-queen OF Hawaii has
been far from idle during her captivity.
The advices are that she has been trying
70 bring Mars TO her aid through the good
Offices OF Cupid. In other words. she has
been trying 10 marry a japanese prince. in
order 10 obtain the friendship and aid Of
the mikado's government She was not
particular as TO the identity Of the prince
who was TO become her spouse, according
TO the story. but was willing TO take any
that the mikado might nominate. His ma
jesty OF Japan. however. is not in the
matchmaking business just now, partic-
ularly as the match the black ex-queen
had in mind wOuld, sooner or later have
called for the sending Of men and ships to
Hawaii. The miksdo has about as much
business at home as he can attend TO. so
ne declined the ex-queen's offer. Liliuoka
lani probably thought she would be playing
winning card when she held out the
queen. but it seems that in the Hawaiian
game cold deck has been rung in on
her.
The workingmen Of the west are awak-
ing 70 the Importance OF the financial agi-
tation to them as individuals. and the ne
cessity of the money Of this government
being kept as good as the best. The Iowa
federation OF labor. al a meeting held last
week, took a firm stand on the right side,
laying upon the table a resolution indoors
ing the free coinage movement. The dis
patches a day or two ago announced that
the Knights of Labor had determined to
establish headquarters at Washington. in
building convenient TO the capitol, in or
der that sharp eye might be kept upon
legislation. II the knights are awake to
their best interests, and it is TO be pre-
sumed that they are, they will watch

Congressman Catchings, who was chair
man Of the Memphis sound money con-
vention, was Speaker Crisp's first lieu
tenant in the last congress. Messrs.
Crisp and Catchings have always been sup
posed to stand very close together. Walter
Wellman. the Washington correspondent,
who attended the Memphis meeting, has
the idea that they are still very close to-
gether. and writes to his paper that it
would not be surprising to see Mr. Crisp
join Mr.. Catchings on the right side of the
money fence before very much longer. Mr..
Wellman says he was helped to this con
clusion by talking with the delegates from
Georgia TO the convention. The delegates,
it seems. regard Mr.. Crisp as occupying
the somewhat undignifed but at this time
very popular position known as "strad-
ding the fence"

Rev. J. William Jones Advises the Students
to Hear Polk Miller.

The following comhCnico ton from Rev.
j. William Jones to the college Topics"
of the University of Virginia is quite APP
proprate at this time, and is a graceful
compliment to Polk Miller, who Will be
heard at the Academy OF Music to-mor-
row night.
Editors College Topics: Please allow
me TO express the earnest hope that the
students generally will attend the dialect
recital on the old Virginia Plantation
Negro" by Mr.. Polk Miller. of Richmond,
to be given in the Public Hall, on the
evening of Saturday, February "a.
| am anxious to see the han crowded,
for several reasons.
/. Mr.. Mllers entertainments are full
of fun and amusement. and his side
splitting anecdotes, songs, banjo accom-
paniments and mimicry will afford an
evening Of hearty laughter and real en-
joyment, which will prove a most de-
llghtfu sequel 10 the intermediate eXami-
nations.
?. Mr.. Miller's dialect recital is a chap
ter of Southern history, which all OF
our young men ought 10 learn. he "Old
Virginia plantation negro" Of ante-bellum
days has almost entirely passed away,
and few of our young men have ever seen
him. His caricature as presented in
many books, magazines and newspapers,
Is very far from the real character. whom
our fathers received a savage from the
slave ships of Old and New England and
so far elevated, Christianized and en-.
ightened that our Northern brethren IN
1866 deemed him worthy of citizenship.
Polk Miller represents the old-time plan
tation negro just as ne was. and incident
ally brings out the kindly, tender relations
which existed between master and slave
In the old days when the negroes OF the
South were the best cared FOR and happi-
est class Of laborers that the world ever
saw.

I hope 10 hear HIM many times more
and / do not hesitate TO say that he
draws 10 the lie a picture OF the old
Virginia and Southern negro which our
young men would make a great mistake
to miss.
3. Let me add that as this entertain
ment is for the benefit Of the Y. NJ. G.
A.. which has done 50 much in the way
of free entertainment for the University,
il seems but right that we should turn
out en- masse and give them a sure-enough
benefit. which Mr.. Milers liberal terms
