Alex r. Shepherd was one of those men
who are created by great emergencies.
Washington needed such a factor in the
equation of her redemption. and Shepherd
appeared in response to that imperative
demand. Just as U. s. Grant emerged
from obscurety in 1862 to neutralize the
blunders and utilities of his predecessors
and to rescue the Union armies from the
slough of despond, so did Shepherd ten
years later. infuse his formidable person
ality into the hitherto blighting imbecili-
ties of the situation. Opposed, and stub
bornly, by almost every recognized force
i'm the community; antagonized by nearly
all the money and the social influence the
city could assemble he stepped into the
arena of Washingtons developments
slim but fearless David confronting the
Goliath of stagnation and stolidity-and
won the greatest victory in the annals of
this capital To his courage. his address
his indomitable purpose. and his brilliant
faculty OF organization, We owe the city's
redemption from a killing sloth. He set
which has made this the most beautiful
and gracious capital In all the world. No
stain of selfishness sordid purpose at
taches to his memory. He was as much
the martyr as he was the hero OF the
splendid reformation he inaugurated. He
made others rich-especially his opponents
and detractors; himself he Impoverished
and exiled. He built the most magnificent
monument of modern times, and his pri-
yate fortunes were devoted to it's corner
stone One of the plain people: the lesiti-
mate product of our American institu-
tions, he became I'm his time. and will ever
remain in our history, potent and i'm
pressive figure.
His contemporaries did him JUS
tice His successors understood and rec
ognized- his worth posterity will honor
and applaud him. The name of Alexander
Shepherd will stand second TO none in the
chronicles of Washingtons growth and
( glory.

OHIO RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

Pittsburg and other papers on the Ohio
river are urging the appropriation of suffi-
cient money by Congress to make that
river navigable nearly the year round from
Pittsburg to its mouth. Now that Congress
is fully committed to the Improvement of
great watercourses no good reason can be
urged why the most important Of them
should not be made navigable by con-
gressiOnal aid. The Ohio is one Of the
great waterways of the country, and it can
be made one that will carry an immense
commerce to the great advantage of mil
lions of people. The Pittsburg Dispatch,
which is advocating the Improvement with
persistence, has been criticised for incon
sistency in that it assailed the last river
and harbor appropriation bill as the result
of extensive '1og-rolling.' That is prob
ably true to some extent, but even those
who always object to such appropriations
declared in the House that there was less
waste of money upon unimportant rivers
and harbors than in any other bill ever
enacted. 1t should not be necessary to OBJ
tain votes to carry a river and harbor bill
by appropriating money to make rivers OF
streams never heard of and harbors of dry
land. The improvement of a great water
way like the Ohio should secure appro-
priation upon its merits If put before Con-
gress a single proposition. True, the
Ohio river is not very near Indianapolis
or the larger part of Indiana. but prac-
teal people should be able to that the
Improvement of that river so that five
times as much freight can be carried up
and down it as can be at the present time
is certain to be beneficial to the entire Ohio
and Mississippi valleys by cheapening the
transportation of coal, coke, iron, lumber,
stone and agricultural products. Such an
improvement Of the Ohio river as is urged
will prove an immense advantage to south
ern Indiana.

Governor. Stone. of Pennsylvania, has not
won any laurels during the anthracite
coal strike He has accomplished nothing
towards bringing it to an end and his re-
cent movements in that direction appear
very superficial Meanwhile, he has neg
lected his real duties as chief executive of
the State by falling to furnish anything
like adequate protection to miners who
were willing and anxious TO work if pro-
and seen the laws of the State made a
farce by those who have rendered it impos-
sible for persons to work for living with
out fear of assassination or having their
homes and families blown up with dyna-
mite. The Governor Of Pennsylvania is a
failure.

pulpit yesterday morning after a vacation
of two months. During the summer the in
terror of the church had been redecorated
and the lighting made electric. Return

Mr. Odell said. he wondered what were the
possibilities of the church, and then he
preached a sermon the power of the
usual person. 1t often had been pointed out
that this was an era not illuminated by
living brilliant minds, he said. and all the
geniuses of recent time either had disap-
peared or were in their last several years.
He did not lament the worlds geniusless

No one remembered. Mr.. Odell said. the
name of Pharaoh's daughter, who saved
the great Moses. No one knew the name
of Pauls father or of the man that cast
the one vote that elected Cromwell to the

its mentality against the brilliance of sxep-

higher knowledge in the lowest degree is
better than the lower knowledge in the

latter. BE good and let who may be
clever" he said

work is being done where the most noise is
made" said Mr.. Odell. Then he said that
Christ went about the first work of Chris
