LEE AT GETTYSBURG.
New York Sun.

The Ezra S. Griffin Post Of Seran-
ton. Of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public, are struggling against tide
that cannot be stemmed in their
endeavor to prevent the erection Of
a monument to Lee at Gettysburg.
The longing and the purpose Of the
American people that the civil war
shall ultimately be remembered,
not as an attack upon the American
flag and an effort to disrupt the
Federal union, but as the means
chosen by an incrustable Provi-
dence for determining and abolish
ing the distracting issue of seces-
sion, and OF placing the republic on
a foundation of nationalism that
shall endure forever, have been I'M
mistakaole for many years. This
purpose was born with the malice
toward none" of Abraham Lincoln's
at Washington. It's triumph, though
incomplete, was certain when Viii
liam Mckinley, at Atlanta, after
the war with Spain, declared that
the time had come when the Unions
restoration in spirit as in fact
should be written across tho sky"
At each new step toward the goal
the old embers of the glorious pas
sions that carried the war to its
conclusion glow again, but only to
be cooled by the breath ofa brother
hood in whose hope for the future
there is no spark Of enmity and
which cherishes in its memory only
the heroism of the past
As war, ours of the last centu-
ry was matchless in the history of
civilized people; but still more
wonderful is the American chapter
in politics, in which is recorded the
reunion of the two warning sections
with their political relations I'M
changed and their political vitality
unimpaired.
1t is to celebrate that result of
the great conflict that the foremost
figures Of the Southern Confederacy
have begun to be coupled with those
of the North A shaft dedicated to
Lee at Gettysburg will be but an
expression of the Americanism Of
today and tomorrow.

of tbe fact that it is robbing the pub lic.+Springfield News
 MT Murphy also declares that no grating on the part of the force will be tolerated, and by implicat ton blar1es Devery for the shameful practices which more than anything else brought about the defeat of Tammany two years ago. In other words he has found out what the citizens of New York will endure and what they will not endure, and he in his capacity of manager means to profit by the ex~ perience. He is far abler man than Croker was, though perhaps no more scrupulous. With him good govern ment'' means such an administration ns will not be rebuked at the polls when McClellans term expires. 1t may be bad government in essen tials. but it must be good to the ma- iority of voters. or at least appear to be so.--Hartford Times.

We wonder what John Randolph or Roanoke would say could he know that little children by the name of Dabney have been denied admission to white school in Virginia for the reason that they are one sixty-fourth Indian blood. says the Philadelphia Ledger. Ran dolph was, as every one knows, a lin cal descendant of Rocahontas, the daughter. of a king, and the Hotspur Virginian was never ashamed to admit the fact. Pocahontas was the daugh- ter of naked Indian. who cooked his fish with the scales on and the entrails undisturbed within, while the little princess, in all the charms of unclothed nature, would play with the James town boys, turning somerset equal to any of them. Yet, after all, she was a princess, and her marriage was the first in the now long list of Anglo American alliances The memory of the daughter of Powhatan should have made impossible the excluding of the Dabney children from that Vir- ginia school. d..

As for the treaty itself. says writer in speaking of the newest one, it would stand better before the people and be- fore history if it were associated with less political hypocrisy. 1t Is not pleas ant to see republican members of the house arranging so carefully to stand we'll with their constituents. who do not want the treaty, and yet equally well with the administration, which does. Some of the gentlemen who rep resent "beet sugar districts" must think their constituents wonderfully simple in mind and open to imposture if they suppose that they have so man. aged their votes on this treaty to escape resentment. Are the farmers of the Mississippi valley and of Michigan a lot of stupid pumpkins, who can be tricked into believing that their mem- bers opposed what they really helped to enact? The same may be asked Of the tobacco growers of Pennsylvania and of Connecticut, whose industry is to be subjected to a new and severe competition from the leaf tobacco ot Cuba. ...s..

CENSOR OF HAND ORGANS.
Hartford's Police Board Calls Upon Chief Ryan to Say What Is Music.

Hartford'a Police Board Calls Upon
 Chief Ryan to Say What Is Music.
 Chief of Police Ryan of Hartford, Conn, has been declared by tho board of police commissioners to be the city's musical censor, and it will be up to him in the future to decide when a street organ is an instrument dissemi- mating harmony and when 1t is a nni- sance, says the Hartford Post. There are people who hold that street organ is at all times a nuisance and at no time disseminates sweet harmony, but the commissioners came to the conclu- sion that they did have rights on the streets, and they put it up to Chief Ryan to decide when they exceed those rights.
 The matter came up in the form of a complaint from c. +. Sweet, dealer in oils, who wrote that one of the organs ground out distressing strains near his place of business for over an hour and that when he demonstrated the grinder told him to go to that locality where or gan grinders have been mentally con- AS0 by SNCl lllCy first came into existence. MT. Sweet went to the police station instead, but was unable to obtain satisfaction.
 After considering this complaint the commissioners decided that there were times when an organ was nuisance and placed the matter in Chief Ryan's hands, as previously stated. Naturally the chief will have to hear the music before he can decide the question, and consequently concerts may be looked for daily at the police station. An or gan grinder complained of as a nui- sance will presumably be hauled to the police station, and there Chief Ryan will give him or his organ hearing If the culprit plays "Why Did They Sell Killarney" or something of that sort he will probably stand a fairly good show of having his efforts consid- cred music, but if he ever strikes up "Hiawatha'' or similar selections he will in all probability be adjudged nuisance on the spot and be locked up in the dungeon. s...

1t is not a crime in Massachusetts for a man to sell his vote, and hence it is not an otfense within the view of the law for one man to charge another with having sold his vote. This is the decision of the supreme court of the state, and it should give great joy in the state of Rhode Island, where the republican leaders and their newspaper organs hold that the only sinful feature of vote buying consists in denouncing it-Hartford Times.

Thanksgiving holidays naturally tended to restrict stock market opera tions, but in spite of this confidence is rlslhg and better undertone pervades the sSteet," says Banker Clews in his weekly letter. This no doubt is partly due to manipulation, yet a month ago conditions would not have permitted such manipulations, and the mere fact that they are even attempted demonstrates a change of feeling and Judgment amongst those behind the scenes. The most noteworthy feature in the market was the differentiation between railroad shares and the indus- trials, the latter being weak and irreg- ular while the former were generally strong and scored unexpected recover les. As already intimated in these ad- vices, this was the inevitable result of exhausted liquidation and improved financial conditions. The whole trou- ble had centered in Wall street, aud any improv ement there was certain to be reflected in values of securities having intrinsic merit behind them. It is quite likely that the bull contingent seized the first opportunity for lifting the marker, an opportunity long de sired, and there Is no doubt they had the moral if not the actual support of big banking interests who have large

This bail has been attached by the govern ment. It was showlB that Nicely cm- bezzled $45,375S of the government funds while working in the Cuban post office, and it would seem that he should be content to make such rcsti- tuition as the bail affords. That he is not serving his time'in prison is due to the clemency of the Cuban govern ment.

EXCITING WALK FOR $1OO.
Harvard Man Won His Wager, but
 Was Pestered by Hoodlums.

Harvard Man Won His Wager, but Was Pestered by Hoodlums.
 Followed by an obstreperous crowd of hoodlums, shouting and shooting at every step, and smiled at by maidens. Mason Whiting of Harvard walked thirty miles, from the Oakley Country club in Waverly to spot near Scituate Beach, covering the distance in seven hours and twelve minutes and thereby winning $100 from one of his college mates, who bet that the distance could mt be covered in less than seven hours Il half, says a Cambridge special tl. ,New York World
 Although Whiting won, his friends had plenty of fun at his expense. Pre- vious to his attempt bills were dis tributed profusely along the route an nouncing the day and the hour on which he would appear and advertis- ing that he would distribute chewing gum to the women, tobacco to the men and football suits and baseballs to the boys living in the districts through which he was to pass.
 Naturally these notices were taken with due seriousness by the juvenile portion of the population, and when ever Whiting appeared he was assailed by crowds of little muckers, whose yells of Hey, there! Gimme me foot ball pants" and, Say, mister, where's dat baseball?" followed him as per sistently as the chatter of his own foot steps on the hard stone walks At times these crowds grew to such alarm ing proportions that he could with diff fculty force his way through them. Then, knowing that time was valuable, he would duck into 8 store where his youthful satellites dared not follow and would throw them temporarily off his track by stealing out the back door and running on through alleys and over garbage heaps as fast as he could

 The appearance Of the gorgeous Pa pinta at the Jacques has evidently been accepted as another grand coup of Manager Polls. and there is large audience present this afternoon to see her bewilderingly beautiful dances. That this feature is quite an extraor- dinary one in the matter of novelty and expense will, be accepted by those who have some idea of the tremendous sensation that Papinta has made dur ing the past few years in all the prin- cipal cities of Europe and America. Others can realize it in measure when they are told that it takes four teen men to set up the apparatus and work it and the lights that are used ill her myriad dances. It has taken three men since last Wednesday to pre- pare the stage at the Jacques for the act, Papinta always arranging by means of double set of apparatus to have everything ill smooth running or der for her first days performance wherever she is playing. Persons who have never heard of Papinta may get some idea from these facts of the mag nitude of the spectacular novelty she presents and the extraordinary char acter of such a headliner for house where the prices charged at the Jacques prevail The large audience present this afternoon are showing their appreciation of Manager Polls enterprise in presenting Papinta by thunders of applause that seem to shake the theater. An excellent bill has been arranged in addition, Mana ger Poli always pursuing the policy to have as many good acts as possible on a bill. Among those who are con ~tributing are the famous Quaker City Quartet, MT and Mrs Allison. Tom Brown and Miss Nevarro, the Great Trovollo, Max Ritter. James and Bon- nie Farley. and the electrograph. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents: after- noons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

Bristol, R. l.. April 25.-In fifteen mile beat to WindWard down Narra- gansett bay and a long run before the wind back to moorings, the Reliance, the new aspirant for the honor of de- lending the American Cup, was given her first builders trial today. At it's conclusion, Oliver Iselin, the manag ing member of the syndicate of owners. said he was much pleased with the new boat.
 The weather conditions were perfect. In q 12-knot southwestern, whether olose-hauled in the beat down the bay. or on broad wash with the wind aheam, or running free under the spinnaker, she rendered a splendid account of herself. and gave abundant promise of being q formida- ble candidate in the trials for the choice of the cup defenders. Her per formance demonstrated that despite the apprehension that she would be stiff because of her supposed scowlike fea- lures, she heeled readily and easily to i her sailing lines in a very moderate breeze.

BUSINESS PEOPLE
 OF TOWN OF BUTTE:
Against Labor in ths Te|a
 graph Strike
It Is Certain That the Fight With the Messengers Will Be Fought to a Finish and That If Necessary the 7 Service Will Be Permanently Dis continued

Butte, Mont, April 25.-Indications
 today point to a fight to finish be- tween the Western Union Telegraph company and the striking messengers, backed by the unions of the city. The striking messengers have in a measure
 dropped from view, and the struggla now is over the question of the recog- milton of the union.
 The telegraph company is willing, i; is said to make concessions to the
 boys regarding wages and hours, but under no circumstances will they recog- nize or treat with the union. The Sil- yer Bow labor and trades assembly having the strike in charge. will meet tomorrow night, and it is stated will stand formally for the recognition o: the messenger boys union by the tele- graph company. According to the Western Union people such a decision on the part of the labor assembly will
 result in the permanent abandonment Of the company's office in this city. The business men of the city strong ly condemn the action taken by the
 labor people, and every effort i5 beine made to effect settlement.
