for the eonfab with political eronies.
The political commissions Of the
last few years called into being a
great many freaks and misshapen
creatures OF chaotic circumstances,
but none more picturesque, more
dangerous, or more bold aud per-
sisteat than Altgeld. He is a man
OF much force of character cunning,
tact, sophisticated and capable of
Stimulating honesty and candor and
Of assuming virtues that he does not
possess. He rose like a rocket in
the sky Of public view and blazed
with a meteorie fereeness and in
tensity that awod and dazzled the
onlookees, who did not stop to re-
fleet Chat the excessive brilliancy
could not last. Beinga very wealthy
man he could afford to court prom
inenee. He reyeIed in notority.
He put himself at the head of the
most radical and ultra faction in his
party, and he inspired his3 followers
with a zeal that was bounless AID
blind. He was The idol Of the dis
contented, the bright particular star
in the armament OF gloom that over
hangs the pesimists, the pillar of
cloud by day and the pillar of fire by
night that led a vast army who were
DESTROYS OF escaping from the bon
dage Of an environment with which
they are out of harmony. En-
Outraged by the ease with which he
deluded his followers and perhaps
deluded himself led on and lured
by his ambition for political leader

only to find himself denied and de-
serted when triumph seemed TO him
al hand His fate has been the fate
Of all radicals, of all reyofutionists
who seek to ride into power and
place on The waSe-erests Of passion,
and who do notlook below the frothy
surface or take into account the
strong feeling Of conservatism that
abides ia the people and which is
sare ultimately to resist the tempo
rary storms of fury that from time
to time sweep over the country.

TIE New York Ho1id of recent
date says there are in the clearing
house banks of that city $500, 600,
600 Of absolutely idle money aud
that the deposits IN the same banks
amount To $563, coo, 600. All this
cash having been drained from the
country, there is a money famine Of
more or less severity everywhere
else. The JHorld says this vast
amount of money cannot be loaned
or invested, because the conditions
are not right; holders Of this dead
capital cannot see their way clear to
any form of profitable investment.
OF course not, but have not these
same capitalists dictated the iinan-
eial affairs of the government aud
the country until everything except
cash has become Improbable wealth.
They have enhanced the value Of
money until it pays better to hoard
it than to invest it in depleeiating
products. And now the question is,
have they not swallownd more than
they can digest2 Is not the goose
that lays golden eggs too badly
crippled to fly very high. Wall
street has dictated a financial policy
that brings themoney Of the country
to their Golfers; and now they have
it, they don't know what to do with
it. -TeNas FIln ord Raach.

Ex,Gov. john 2. Altgeld, who at
one time was a conspicuous national
character, whose utterances were
greedily snatehed up and printed
by the metropolitan press, has gone
the way of all radicals and has been
reduced to the necessity of resort
ing to the circular to get bis views
before the public. In 1896 no
man was more eagerly sought
or more attentively listened
to than ex-governor Alt
geld. Altgeldism had reached its
high-water mark. Tn 1897 there
are none SO poor as to do him
reverence. Altgeldism is no longer
the fad. The ex-governor has writ

AFTER THE SURRENDER.

General Horace Porter, in his "Cam
paigping with Grant," in the October
Century, describes the surrender at Ap.
poma;tox, General Porter says:
Before parting Lse asked Grant to
notify Meade of the surrender, fearing
that fighting might break out ON tha.
front and lives be uselessly lost. This
request was complied With, and two
union officers were sent through the
enemy's lines as the shortest route TO
Meade, some of Lees officers accom-
panyipg them to prevent their being iu.
terfered with. A little before o'clock
General Lee shook hands with General
Grant, bowed to the other officers, and,
with Colonel Marshall, left the room.
One after another followed and passed
out to the porch. Lee sigpaled to his
orderly to bring up his horse, and,
while the animal was being bridled, The
general stood on the lowest step and
9azed sadly in the direction of the val.
ley beyond, where his army lay-now
an army of prisoners. He thrice smote
the pulm of bisEleft hand slowly with
MS right 6st in an absent sort of way,
seemed not to see the group of union
officers in the yard, who rose respect
fully at his approach and appear.
ed unaware Of everything about
him. All appreciated the sadness
that overwhelmed him, and he
had the personal sympathy of every
one who beheld him at this supreme
moment of trial. The approach of his
horse seemed to recall him from his
reverie, aud he at once mounted. Gen
eral Grant now stepped down from the
porc:, moving toward him, and saluted
him by raising his hat. He was follow
ed in this act OF courtesy by all our Off
GERS present. Lee raised his hat re-
spectfully snd rode off at slow trot 10
break the sad news to the brave fellows
whom he had so long commanded.
General Grant aud his steff then
started for the headquarters camp,
which, in the meantime, had bet q
pitched near by. The news of the sur
render had reached the Union lines,
and the firing of salutes began at sew
eral points; but TIE General sent an or
der at once to have them stopped, using
these words: "The war is over; the
rebels are our countrymen again, aud
the best sign of rejoicing after The VIC
tory will be to abstain from all demon
stration in the field" This was in
keeping with his order issued after tie
surrender OF Vicksburg: "The paroled
prisoners will be sent out of here to-
morrow. Instruct the com.
manders to be orderly and quiet IS
these prisoners pass, and to make 10
offensive remarks"
