THE MORTON MONUMENT.

IN another column is a communication
from Lieutenant Governor Haggard. chair
man OF the Grand Army committee to take
steps 10 secure a suitable statue of Gov.
Morton for the Statehouse grounds. The
Lieutenant Governor writes to dispel anv
false impressions as to the aim of the
Grand Army and to urge the cooperation
OF all the people of Indiana The commit
tee which has been charged with the work
is composed of intelligent and broad-minded
men who have in mind the single purpose
OIL securing a work which shall be worthy
of the man and of the State. The com
mittee has held it's first meeting. at which
steps were taken to invite artists to present
designs. Speaking for the committee. it's
chairman asks for the suggestions of those
who take an interest in the work of which
1t has charge. Doubtless when the time
shall arrive, the committee will call upon
all those whose opinions are of value to
assist them in selecting a design which will
do justice to the man. Fortunately. there
are IN his own State many men who were
SO familiar with the great war Governor
that their advice will be valuable.
The purpose of the committee is to secure
the best, and in that purpose it may count
upon the general and cordial cooperation
of the patriotic people of Indiana. Partial
failures in statues in this State and else
where are a warning to the committee and
its friends to exercise the utmost care 10
secure the best talent and the most skillful
execution that can be obtained. The man
whose memory is to be honored deserves
the best in design and workmanship. and
the people who are proud of his fame will
not be satisfied with ANYTHING short of it.

AN Ex-GoyERNoR,s EXPERIENCE.

In a speech at Versailles Tuesday even
ing, Ex-Governor Matthews is reported as
saying hat he was one of the largest sheen
owners in his district, and that he knew
that 1.-The sheep industry was most pros
porous when there was no tariff on wool"
The impression which such a statement
gives is that wool has frequently been on
the free list. If the Ex-Governor is of that
impression his transformation is even more
accurate, so to speak, than 1t is upon other
economic and political matters of which
he speaks. AS a matter of fact, wool. ex-
cept some of the lower grades, was put
upon the dutiable list on the revision of
1924. Even in the Walker tariff of 1876
which was a revenue tariff, the duty i'm
posed upon wool was 80, per cent. ad va
loren. In the revision of 1857 certain low
grade woods were put Upon the free list,
but all woods of the quality and value of
those produced in Indiana bore a duty of
"a per cent. ad valorem. In fact, until the
passage Of the Gorman-Wilson tariff act
in 1894 there had been a duty on wool for
seventy years. Therefore, when ex-Gov-
ernor Matthews asserts, from experience.
that the sheep industry has been most
prosperous when there was no tariff on
wool. he must have been a flock master
prior to 1924, or he bases his assertion upon
his experience since wool was sure to go
on the free list after the election of 1892.
The Journal would not call attention to
this matter had not the Ex-Governor
claimed to have spoken on the authority
- - -;~1., -; - ---L.
ton of economic problems, the general x
perience of men is the most valuable of
data. That Mr.. Matthew's experience is
not sustained by the markets and the Off
cial statistics, the following facts prove:
August, 1~S90-Sheep, good to choice. 81 to
$4.35; lambs, good to choice, $425 to So; best
washed wool, 35c; medium, unWashed. 22c:
coarse, unwashed. 16c TO lSc; merfno, iSc.

$3.50; lambs. good TO choice, 1915 to AIS:

The foregoing prices are the quotations
of the indianapolis markets Tor two years
under the protective duties and for last
year, when the Gorman-wiIaon law had
got in its perfect work upon The sheep in

A neat little monthly, published at
Springfield, o., bears the title How to
Grow Flowers and contains information
useful as well as interesting, while the ex-
perienced grower may also learn some
thing from its pages.
The drawing studies of the Art Amateur
are admirable in character and variety. In
addition to a large supplement study of
the human figure in the August number
are drawings by Delaney, Mcneil, Jour-
dain and others. Other supplement designs
are for china decoration, embroidery,
leather and bent iron work.
The Home Magazine, commercial travel

of the number is a paper on posters and
poster makers by John Northern Hilliard.
According to the Decorator and Furnisher
the clover blossom has been a%pprovingly
recognized by fashionable society this sea-
son. 'It has had this season a wonderful
part in the trimmings of hats, and now the
worker in linens has adopted it. and no
doubt the time will come when it will be
as popular as flowers of greater value. For
bouquets il is exceedingly pretty, especially
as a background for blossoms of a more
varied tint. We are Informed that a great
singer had made for herself a corsage bou-
Duet of these purple and white tints, n
so well accepted was il that at a great
social function. every woman of fashionable
ways made this poor little flower in some
way add to her beautiful toilet" This
recognition speaks better for the education
of society" than for its originality, as this
flower has been appreciated for its beauty

Guiding the military and naval authorities
thereof, will recognize and maintain the
freedom of such persons" This proclama-
ton did not affect the slaves in the border
States of Maryland, Kentucky, West Vir-
ginia and Missouri, because they were not
in rebellion, and it expressly excepted the
slaves in thirteen parishes, or counties. in
Louisiana, and seven counties in Vir-
GINA which were held by the United States
forces. AS emancipation was a war meas
ure, distinctly so stated in the proclama-
ton, it could not consistently be applied to
States not in rebellion or to parts of States
which were at the time under the authority
Of the United States government. The
slaves in these States and parts of States
were not legally emancipated until the rati-
fication of the thirteenth amendment to
the Constitution of the United States. This
important measure was adopted by Con-
gress and submitted to the States Feb. /,
1865, and the proclamation of the secretary
of state declaring it to have been ratified
by the legislatures of twenty-seven of the
thirty-six States was issued Dec. Is, 1865.
This amendment was of universal applica-
ton throughout the entire domain of the
United States, although slavery had pre-
viously been abolished in the District of
Columbia by an act of Congress approved
April 16, 1862, and in all the Territories of
the United States by an act approved June
19, 1862. 1t thus appears that no act in con-
nection with emancipation in the United
States took place in August.
The entering wedge of the whole busines
was the abolition of slavery in the District
OF Columbia, and it is an interesting fact,
showing how slowly the public mind pro-
crossed towards emancipation, that the bill
for the abolition of slavery in the District.
as introduced by Hon. Henry Wilson, one
or the great anti-slavery leaders, provided
for the payment of the slaves emancipated
in the District at an average sum of $500
each, for the appointment of a commission
to assess the sum to be paid, and appro-
priated $1,0W,0 DOC for the purpose. At that
time and for some time afterwards Mr..
Lincoln's favorite plan for getting rid of
slavery was by compensated emancipation.
AS late as May 8, 1862, he rescinded an order
ISSUED by General Hunter declaring martial
law and freeing the slaves in Georgia,
Florida and South Carolina. In his proc
lamation resembling this order Mr.. Lincoln
said: Whether it be competent for me, as
commander-in-chief of the army and navy,
to declare the slaves of any State or States
free, and whether at any time or in any
case it shall have become a necessity indis-
pensable to the maintenance of the govern
heht' 10 exercise such supposed power, are
questions which, under my responsibility, I
reserve to myself, and which l cannot feel
justified in leaving to the decision of COM
manders in the field" Five months later
he issued his warning proclamation. and a
little more than six months later his eman-
cipation proclamation.

GERMAN HEIRS DISSATISFIED.

California Estate.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 5.-The German
heirs of the late Charles Lux, of the great
firm of Miller & Lux. dissatisfied with the
share allowed them OF the vast estate in
which they are interested. has begun suit
in the United States Court to have the set
tiement set aside and ask for an account
ing. When Mr.. Lux died several years ago
his widow, Mrs. Miranda w. Lux, desired
that the firm of Miller & Lux be wound
up, but was opposed by Henry Miller, the
surviving partner. After several unavail-
ing attempts to settle the matter amicably.
suit for an accounting was begun and long
and complicated litigation ensued. The case
was brought to a temporary halt by the
formation of one of the largest corpora
tons in this country. The basis of the or
ganizatlon was the issuance Of $l2,W0,000
worth of stock representing the immense
landed properties and the varied interests
of the firm. This was divided in proportion
to the amounts that different heirs We're to
receive by the viii of Charles Lux and
the troubles of the concern were apparent
ly at an end. 1t now transpires that sew
eral OF the heirs, residing in Germany, do
not think they have been fairly treated IN
the distribution of shares OF the corpora
ton and that they have determined TO tight
for what they deem their rights.

THE DATE OF EMANCIPATION.

Colored people in the United States make
a historical mistake when they celebrate
Aug. 4 or any day in August as
Emancipation day. No act or step in con-
nection with the emancipation of slaves in
the United States took place in the month
of August. Aug. l, 1884. was the date of the
emancipation of the slaves in the British
colonies, including Jamaica and other West
India islands. but the date does not relate
to any act in connection with emancipation
in the United states. The three important
historical dates in this country are Sept, %,
on which date in 1862 President Lincoln is
sued a proclamation announcing that on
Jan. / following "all persons held as slaves
within any State, the people whereof shall
then be in rebellion against the United
States, shall be then, thenceforward and
forever free" On the LIST of January fol-
lowing Mr.. Lincoln issued a second procla-
nation. referring TO the former one. and
declaring that all persons held as slaves in
States or parts of States then in rebellion
against the United States ARE and hence
forward shall be free. and that the execu-
tive government of the United States, in
