1t has appeared in the steady growth of
the Republican vote in the South during
the last dozen or fifteen years and in the
expressions of the leading papers of that
section It's most notable expression in
Congress thus far was in the vote on the
Dingley tariff bill in the House, when OF
thirty votes cast for the bill from Southern
States five were Democrats. But it is
probable that the discussion of the tariff
bill in the Senate viii show that the protec-
ton sentiment from the South is relatively
stronger in that body than it is in the
House. OF thirty Southern senators five
are avowed protectionists, viz, Wellington,
of Maryland; ElEins, of West Virginia;
Pritchard, of North Carolina; Deboe, of
Kentucky, and McEnery, of Louisiana.
These senators have offered numerous
amendments to the tariff bill increasing the
rates of duty on particular articles, and
several other Southern senators are known
to be in favor OF protection for local in

CONFUSION ABOUT MEMORIAL DAY.

1t is unfortunate that the commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army did not observe
the provisions of the constitution in select
ing Memorial day. when the day assigned
fell upon Sunday. Article A. Chapter s. of
the Grand Army constitution, reads as fol-
lows:
The National Encampment hereby estab-
fishes Memorial day, 10 be observed by the
members of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, on the Goth day of May annually, in COM
memoration of the deeds of our fallen coin
rades. When such day occurs on Sunday,
the succeeding day shall be observed, exec PIT
where by legal enactment the preceding
day is made a legal holiday, when such day
shall be observed.
In this State the law provides that the
day following shall be the legal holiday
when the holiday falls upon Sunday. There
fore both the constitution of the Grand
Army and the law of Indiana makes Monday
the proper and legal Memorial day instead
Of Saturday, which the commander-in-chief
has designated in the larger towns. Satur-
day of all other days in the week is the
most inconvenient day for holiday. 1t is
the pay day in most of the factories and
in most industries 1t is especially a day
when retailers desire to keep their places
of business open until late in the evening.
There was, therefore, every reason why the
regulation should have been complied with
AS Monday is the legal holiday the banks
will be closed on that day because they
can be closed on no other. In the confusion
which now exists, it looks as if there would
be no adequate observance of Memorial
day, as many of the retailers and some of
the factories will keep open Saturday, while
part will observe the day.
1t is not too late to change and then Sc
cure the usual holiday. The Grand Army
committees can announce on Thursday or
Friday that the services of Memorial day
will take place on Monday, in accordance
with the laws of Indiana and the constitu-
ton of the Grand Army OF the Republic.
BY so doing the exercises will fall upon a
day when stores, factories and banks will
be closed and a large attendance will be
secured. Otherwise, an unsatisfactory OBJ
servance of Memorial day will result.

The Baptist brother who protested
against the Missionary Union accepting
money from John D. Rockefeller or any
other person until the proposing donor
should first ''eonsecrate himself to God and
make his gift clean" was doubtless more
nice than wise. He was a returned mis-
sionary and another brother said: when
our brother has been longer in this country
and becomes better acquainted he will
modify his views. 1t would be a very
narrow sort of Christianity that would deny
even to a hardened sinner the luxury of
doing good to others, and perhaps even
more for himself, by contributing of his
wealth to church work

Banker Johnson. of Logansport, makes

him to commit the crime of forgery and
embezzlement in conducting the affairs

be honest.-South Bend Tribune.

knowing this, why should not an examiner
make it his first duty to inquire whether
the directors are attending to their duties,
and if not, require them to do so? Indeed
why should not every examiner call for a
majority of the board to be present at ev-
cry examination to advise him concerning
the value OF paper?-NeW Castle Courier.
Johnson, the Logansport bank wrecker,
is said to have a remarkable smile. Many
interesting stories are being told of the
powers of this smile. A few days before
the bank failed the disgraced president is
said to have focused it on an honest citi-
zen and thereby procured a deposit of S.

which she worried. Johnson brought this
smile to bear on her and the snug sum,
and the same day the amount was depos-

Johnsons stealings reach the sum of a
half million dollars and yet in the Logans-
port papers there are intimations of a
maudlin sympathy for him in that COM
munity His crimes, forgery and embezzle-
ment, the robbery of widows, orphans,
cripples and lifelong friends, are sufficient
ly colossal in the sum total to excite adj
miration on the part of those who are

He attempts no defense, for there is none.

A few days ago a dispatch from Madrid
described a personal collision between two
Spanish statesmen in the open Cortez in
which the Duke Of Tetuan, minister for for
eign affairs, boxed the ears of Senior Comas,
a Liberal senator. Yesterdays dispatches
described disorderly scene in the Austrian
Reichsrath, in which members threw books
and inkstands at one another's heads and
filled the air with invectives. If either of
these scenes had occurred in our Congress
Spaniards and Austrians would cite them

Washington dispatches state that the
principal attack of Democratic senator's
upon the tariff bill will be against the in
ternal revenue features. This shows the
hypocrisy of Democratic professions. If
the Democratic party has any distinctive
principle or is committed to any doctrine
it is tariff for revenue only. Now, the in
ternal revenue taxes in the tariff bill are
exclusively for revenue. They have no ele-
ment of protection in them. This is par
ticularly true of the proposed increase of
the tax on beer against which it is said
the Democrats will make a determined
fight. OF the hundreds of taxes imposed by
the tariff bill probably there is not another
one that is so distinctively a tax for reve-
nue. only as the beer tax, yet the Demo-
Gratis have decided to attack it. BY so do
ing they will show that their stock declara-
ton in favor of tariff for revenue only is a

GOVERNOR 4 SALARY SLASHER
Thinks Employees of State Institutions
Are Paid Too Much.

Governor Mount yesterday issued a cir
cuIar letter to the boards of managers
and directors of the States penal and
benevolent institutions to meet him in his
office next Friday morning. The Governor
has been looking into the financial accounts
of the institutions and he is of the opinion
that the institutions are using too much
money in their administration. He does not
think that the institutions are paying too
while the price of labor together with that
of provisions has been steadily declining in
the last few years, the pay rolls of the
institutions show little or no change. He
thinks that some of the men employed in
the places could be paid less. He is also
of the opinion that where superintendent
have their wives and other members of the
family down on the pay roll as matrons
and other sinecures that the board should
use the pruning knife in such cases. He in
tends asking the board 10 cut down the

The monthly statement of exports from
the consular district of Bradford, England,
for the month of April last shows an in
crease of exports over the corresponding
month of last year of more than $1,000 900.
In other words from one British port the
exports to the United States at the present
time are at the rate of $50 900 a year
greater than they were one year ago. This
furnishes strong argument in favor of the
speedy passage of a tariff bill that will put
stop to this flooding of the country with
foreign products.

The statement of Senator Aldrich on re-
porting the tariff bill of the finance COM
mittee to the Senate yesterday is an able
explanation of the aims of the bill which
the four Republicans of the committee have
formulated. Senator Aldrich is one of the
best posted men in the country regarding
the details. as well as the general princi-
pies. of tariffs and revenue bills. Into this
explanation of the bill the senator has put
much of his varied information on the sub
ject. Portions of his speech, particularly
that relating to the sugar schedule. seem
to be in the nature of defense, doubtless
because it has been so generally assailed.
