The Western Association of Writers has
honored us with an invitation to be present
at its twelfth annual meeting to be held at
Warsaw. Ind on the 2Sth inst. Indiana has
contributed to literature many notable
lights, conspieuously General Lew Wallace
James Whitcomb Riley and Maurice
Thompson, not to speak of the brilliant
young men and women actively aSsocia ted
with Chicago journalism. We regret TO note
however, that. with the exception of Mr..
Riley who is down for poem, none of
these able litterateurs will be represented on
the programme. William Allen White is
coming on from Kansas to contribute a
sketch and we observe a number of other
names which have pleasant associations
in modest literary way. We have always
maintained that the Western Writers
should hold their annual meetings In Chica-
but we presume state pride has not little
to do with the selection of Warsaw. We
notice in a rapid survey of the programme
that seventeen poems Will be delivered,
goodly number for one meeting, though. of
course it is absurd TO believe that all the
poets are comprehended in this lot. A gen
tleman with a passion for statistical nfor-
nation tells us that there are at least sew
enteen poets, creditable poets, in every
township in Indiana, and that three days
session at the Auditorium would not be
the breezy and poetical West We believe
that this gathering of literary men and
women will be productive of much pleasure
TO the participants and of great good To the
country at large, and we congratulate
President Fishback, of Indianapoli on the
growth of the association of which he is
a pervading and inspiring spirit.

wound under the right eye an inch or more
in length, from which the blood trickled
down Greggains's body. In the seventh

If the report is true we must cordially
praise Mark Twain for his good sense in
preferrinG the present payment of his debts
to the erection of a monument after his
death. We do not see why anybody should
be expected to pay Mark debts. for he ad-
mits that he is in good health and there is
no question that he can easily earn 500, 600
year by writing and lecturing. However
If his friends esteem this a privilege which
Mark is willing to grant we cannot see that
it is our business to object. What we do
take exception to, however, is the amount
of twaddle that is almost daily published
about man who has the largest earning
capacity of all men and women in con-
temporaneous literary life. Mark Twain
acquired fortune and lost it as thousands
of men have done, but he has fair health, is
not yet old man, and, with his hold on
the public, a reasonable amount of industry
would put him on his feet in two years. For
our part we see nothing in Marks present
condition to appeal to our sympathies, but
we are going to help him to the extent of
buying his book and as many books there
after as he may choose to write. We do
not believe the literary guild is weeping
over the miseries of man who is paid in
dollars, where other writer's are glad to
get postage stamps, and, in all fairness to
Mark, we fancy he is amused at all the
gush that is written about his misfortunes.
Let us be just and generous by all means.
but let us reserve our sympathy for some
poor fellow who is not so abundantly able
to help himself.

A Universal Postage Stamp.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
BY the final report of the Universal Postal
Congress | see that they abandoned the
project of an international stamp on the
ground that the different money standards
of the world rendered it impossible. In
the March, 1885, issue of the Philadelphia
Stamp News there was plan suggested by
which the project of such stamp could be
easily accomplished. 1t was there proposed
to issue a stamp for international use that
would do away with all bother about cur
rency values This was to be done by max
ing a stamp of striking design and color,
without any words or figures upon 1t what
ever. This stamp was to be sold in all
countries at the rate agreed upon for inter-
national letters. Thus, in the United States
the price would be 5 cents, in Mexico 10
centaVos and in England two pence half
penny. So it would be understood in each
country what the charge was in the money
of that country, and currency changes
would not affect the validity or use OF this
stamp in any way. 1t would be as good for
postage in Liberia as in this country or any
other country in the L. p. u. The need for
such q stamp is great, and it is to be re-
GREETED that the congress failed in this I'M
portant part of it's mission and@ that this
question must wait for settlement until the
next meeting of the L. =. L.

statements touching the movement making
at Phiippi, w. Va, to place memorial
in that town to commemorate the hrst as
sault made by Union volunteers on camp
of Confederate soldiers. where the hrst
shots of the war were fired by volunteer
soldiers The very first shots were nreo py

artillery, while the Seventh Regiment or
Indiana Volunteers were leading the IN
faitry charge on the rebel camp. when
near enough the Seventh poured volley
into the confused Johnnies, and they start
ed to rur in retreat. Therefore, the Sew
enth Indiana were the first volunteers TO
fire musket shots in the war FOR the sup
preston of the rebellion. The surviving
members of that regiment, as wen as OF
the Sixth and Ninth Indiana, will feel
deep interest IN this patriotic movement.
