WILL CREATE ENTHUSIASM.
One Of the Proposed Grand Army Dec
orations at LOuisviiso.

One OF the PrOpOscd Grand Army Dec
orations at Louisviiio.
LOUISVILLE, July 1S.-A local decor
ator is engaged upon device for the
hall in which the delegates to the Grand
Army encampment will hold their ses-
sions, which was intended to be kept a
complete secret until the opening ses-
sion, and concerning which nothing has
yet been printed i'll this city, or presum-
ably allowed to leak out from the COM
mittee having the matter in charge.
The device is to consist Of two life-size
female figures representing respectively
the south and the north, and holding
between them an immense American
flag with colored incandescent electric
globes peeping through its silken folds
to represent the stars and stripes. Above
the flag the word "Peace" is to stand
forth in gigantic letters of electric bril-.
liancy. The entire effect will be en-
thralling and il expected to create n
scene Of unwonted enthusiasm. Ac.
cording to the present plans the device
is to be hidden by a curtain until Com
mander-in- Chief Lawler lets fall his
gavel to bring the encampment to order,
when it will he disclosed as prelude to
the welcoming speeches CT the southern
orators. The device will involve an ex-
penditure of several Thousand dollars.

unRR,S SAD MEMORY.

Solemn and sad, like the voices
of confession, wns the remark of
Mr.. Horr, the pugnacious and ram
pant goldbug, to Mr.. Harvey that
~ was q bank president in 1873. but
went down in the crash of that
year" In the readiness to hunt
causes for misfortunes, poor, ncr-
vous humanity is prone to grasp
without great or Thoughtful delib-
Grafton that which first greets the
view; that which appears on the
surface; that which is pointed out
by first impulse. Such character
istic may at times fall short of on
tire but ofterncr proves
satisfactory in the end.
1t is not profitable as n political
argument, nay. wurse;i is positive
injustice, which may become
criminal in it's moral or immoral
aspect, to sound the alarm before
the people, anil attempt to create
commercial unrest and even panic,
because the political party with
which the guilty agitator afliliates
chances to be hurled from power
to patronage. But the Republicans
-lfress and sprakers--have taken
the initiative in this style of un-
fairness in politics.
For months the more active
leaders upon that side frantically
warned against. business ventures
or bank deposits, 4endeavoring by
every means possible to crente dis.
trust of the party in power-not
that they had the least fears for
the safety of the country, but be-
cause of a longing for the posses.
sion of official patronage. The
tariff was the instrumentality
sought to lie used as II club with
which to slay the triumphant Dem
ocracy. The meaning of this class
of agitators was not left to infer
ence, but men who assumed to
/ possess sufficient ability and dig
nifty to grace the Office of president
of the United,States boldly assert
ed, and with all the appearance of
sOlemnity, that ruin stared the
country in the face because of fears
of Democratic incompetency oi
rascality in the handling of the
tariff question.
After all this wave of dcmagogy
after the panic, fed and kept alive
by teese tricksters, has passed into
unpleasant memory; after the fires
are lighted and the rush Of business
is manifest on every side, appears
one, Mr.. Horr, who delights to b'
known rs peculiarly an eXponen
of the benuties of the McKinle!
brand Of tariff, and who is thrust
or who thrusts himself forward a
the champion Of Wall street form
!. OF monetary doctrine and discus
, sion, and declares that the saving
of lifetime were swept ava.
while Grant was president, while
Republican tariff was iR full fore
and effect, and in the very yea
(which witnessed the demonetias
!. tion Of silver. 1t was we'll for M
Horr that a word limit was estal
! lished and thus Mr.. Harvey pre-
!, clnded from closing the discnssio

The Clerks Should Have Some Time for
Needed Hecreatlon.

During the hot summer weather Il has
been generally the custom of the retail
merchants TO close their stores at o
o'clock in the afternoons on all days ex-
ccpt Saturday IN order 10 give their
clerks "a short time for recreation.
Recently 10 seems that a number or
merchants have not been closing their
stores until quite late The Times is in
receipt of a communication from the
clerks OF the city in which they very re-
spectfully call the attention Of their en-
rloyers 10 the old plan OF closing al %
o'clock. After working in a hot store all
day. IL is not only beneficial 70 their
health but 1t seems only just that they
should be allowed a short time 10 them
selves for exercise. Two OF the largest
stores In the city now close promptly at
. o'clock. and ii Is certainly praisewor-
thy movement on the part OF the pro-
prietors. II is hoped for the benefit or the
clerks that during the hot weather all
the stores shall close at o'clock.
