Senator Hoar thus speaks of Grant and

Ex-Secretary Sherman says that his
brother, the general, once replied thus to
a compliment on the honors fallen to the

Jim. If he had lived the rest of us would
have been thrown in the shade"
George Francis Train puts an oar in on
the Anglo American alliance discussion, in

In the eulogistic address which Rev.
Archibald ID, Bradshaw delivered at obse-
quies In connection with the Seventy frs,
New York regiment, of which he Is chap
lain, the speaker used almost word for word
several passages which appear in the eulogy
which Colonel Ingersol uttered over the
remains of his brother, Eben Ingersoll who
died twenty years ago. Mr.. Bradshaw ac-
knowledges the plagiarism, complacently
adding that in some places he improved
upon the original
The failure OF Mayor Quincy of Boston to
attend the funerals of the members OF the
Ninth Massachusetts, last Sunday, and again
his failure to be on hand to welcome the
Fifth Massachusetts, on Monday, brought out
the fact that he was i'll and it also appears
that he is a Christian Scientist and, though
suffering from a cold severe enough to
alarm his friends, he refuses perslstently to
haye Physician called in. Most surpris-
ing of all is the statement that MayoF
quincy probably owes his cold to his long
standing practice OF wearing no socks.
Omaha daily bee., 1899-04-10
TINE TO CALL A HALT.

The weekly statement of bank clear
ings promulgated through the Associ-
ated Press represents Omaha as the
most depressed business center in
America. The comparative exhibit
shows IA decrease in Omaha's clearings
of 81 per cent from the clearings of the
corresponding week in 1898.
A more damaging and misleading re-
port could not have been circulated 1t
creates the impression that Omaha is
doing only half the business 1t did Il
year ago and is in a fair way toward
general collapse. While every one in
Omaha conyersant with the facts knows
that this is fictitious showing due to
a controversy between one of the
Omaha clearing house banks and it's
South Omaha branch, people outside
take 1t for granted that the figures rep
resent all our banking business.
Were this controversy purely pri.
yate matter, affecting only the banks in
yolyed, the public would have no con
cern in the matter and no right to inter
pose objection. Inasmucn however, as
the clearing house reports affect the
standing of Omaha in the commercial
world and incidentally of every business
and property interest in the city, the
community must as matter OF self
