f-' The Donatien te Grant.
V Democrats and Republicans in Hie
,- TTnllpd SLitfs &nate tumbled ever tach
d& ether in their eagerness te put General
0fr Grant upon the retired list of the army
t M with the full pay of a general, which is
i& . thirteen thousand flve hundred dollars.
And yet it was net a proper tiling te de,
both because- it could net be dene by direct
legislation and because of the lack of in
trinsic merit in the measure.
The bill had te accomplish its object in
directly by authorizing the president te
appoint one person 'who had been
a general te be a general en the retired list.
Grant is the only ene te fill the description,
and the bill in effect therefere authorized
only his appointment. If it had author
ized the appointment of Grant byn.ime it
would have fallen under the same object ion
that President Arthur found te a previeus
bill for Grant's relief. The president is
new expected te shut his eyes te the sub
stantial similarity of this measure,
and te approve it en the distinction le
twecn tweedledum and twcedledce ; whicli
itisnet clever in the Senate te ask the
president te de, as it is net clever in it te
seek itself a roundabout way te get the let
ter of the laws.
The senators seem te have thought
that there was a great popular demand for
this donation te General Grant. They hae
taken the impression from the journals of
the large cities. AVe think it is a mistaken
b;llef. There is a very geed feeling
toward General Grant in the country, lie
has greatly conciliated Democratic opinion
by his generous course toward l'itz Jehn
Perter. But yet it is thought en all hands
that the present pecuniary misfortunes of
Grant have been se undeniably his own
fault that he has no claim upon the nation
for the exercise of the generosity in his
behalf, when it is a fact that he enjejs
an income of fifteen thousand dol
lars a year. If he was really needy,
public opinion would unanimously demand
his relief, however his losses came telliim ;
as the people would net me an ex-president
and general suffering for lack of the com
forts and luxuries of life. Uut when
Grant gave his name te the Wall street
operation te be used for all it was worth,
with the result that losses te the amount
of millions of dollars came te theso vv he
confided in the virtue of that great name,
he certainly docs net ceme befere Congress
with clean hands for its bounty. It cannot
bsdenied thatGeneral Grant knew thathis
Dime was a valuable trade mark te his busi
'ncss firm, which he committed te the con
trol and guidance of an associate without
the slightest supervision or check by him
self. His name and the great office titles
connected with it having lwcn dragged into
the mire se deeply and se carelessly by him,
It does net seem te us, nor de we believe
the people think, that he should be rein
vested with the oflice and pay of general
of the armies, while he 1 eta ins se hand
some a prqvisien for his comfort as he may
have from ?15,oeo a year.
Senater Voorhees said that alter six ears
this income would probably re.ise, the
guarantee of the western railroad bends in
which it was invested, made by the late 11.
I). Morgan, then expiring. If this is t, the
present bill would seem te lie ene for the
relief of E. D. Morgan's estate, or of the
committee which invested the fund in
worthless bends ; as it is te be assumed
that these culpable parties would find it
impossible te let this income pledged te
Grant drop away from him by their In
vestment of the trust fund in worthless
bends, unless he had such a feather-bed as
the Senate new provides for him ready te
support him.
The ninlr Illll.
The advocates of the Blair educational
bill, a scheme te distribute $70,000,000 of
the federal government's revenues among
the states for school purposes, take hoie
from the fact that Senater Gatland. who is
said te be booked for a place in the next
cabinet, made a weighty argument for the
bill, in fact about the only constitutional
apology for it that rose te the rank of an
argument.
It is net likely that Senater Garland
stiengthencd his chances of cabinet jwsl jwsl
tien by his attitude toward this measure,
As senator from a state which, en the
basis of popular Illiteracy would receive a
large allotment of the money, as the
ieprentative of an Impoverished section
which seems te get an immediate ad vantage
from the bill, and as an astute advocate,
wall skill te make the werse appear the
better cause, Senater Garland seemed te
feel it his duty and demonstrated that it
was within his capacity te dexterously
aiaaiutain the one preposition that has been
advanced in support of the constitutional,
ity of the measure, that is the iever of
Congress te appropriate the public lands of
the United States or their proceeds te edu
cational purposes in the states.
But, as ex-Gov. Clnmberlain iwints out,
r. mis power is mine exercise of an express
i. ' itMiif In flirt CAfir.tiil n..n..l. s ...
Hi.x.v ... ...v.iwut, i.ii.iKi.iu m sections
of article IV of the constitution, as fel.
3ewa: "The Congress shall have power

rrcnilntums itsneetliiL the irwlinvu ,. ..n....

United States as It may si-e tit, consistently
: ir course, with the ether previsions of the
' constitution. All the authorities cited by
. Swiatei' Gailand arw simply decisions as te
the power of Ceugtess under this clause of
v he constitution, and nothing mere. The
difference between the appropriation of
money in the treasury, the proceeds of tax.
nllen or the ordinary incomes of tlie gov
ernment, en the ene hand, and the dlHsi dlHsi
tien of the public landsef the United States
or their proceeds under thl clause en the
ether hand, Is loe plain for argument."
It must be obvious te every bread-minded
statesman, that If it Iks ence granted that
Congress has power te levy taxes te raise
money for distribution among the states.te
support the schools of their establishment
and eent nil, it can raise and sjwnd Its re re
enueslnsuppeit of the state courts, legis
latures and, every local institution. At
encccvery barrierbetwecn thestatesand the
general government is broken down, their
rights and duties become indistinct, their
jurisdictions conflict and the whole beauti
ful federal fabric which the fathers con
structed collapses.
If Senater Gailand views such an out
come with complacency it is te te hoped
that he will net be in the Democratic cabi
net. But we prefer te think that in ilefenM)
of the Blair bill he was displaying his pew.
ersas an advocate rather than his opinions
as a statesman or a jurist.
Oui"rVlthl1.
Kmt since the election some of the He
publican newapapcrs have been hounding
St. Jehn, the late Prohibition candidate
for president. Xet a few of them hae
peen insinuating and ethers hae lmi
boldly charging that lie was in the Meld
with mercenary motive, that he offered
for money te give his candidacy a turn fa
vorable te Blaine, and failing te get his
price, or being offered mere by the opesi.
tien, remained in the field te Cleeland's
advantage.
Mr. St. Jehn has giu-n an emphatic de
nial te all such stories, and they are reite
rated, it must be admitted, without the
production of any corroborative evidence.
Xet a line of documentary proof nor a 1 1
lableef oral testimony lias been adduced te
show any lack of sincerit) or honesty en
the part of the Prohibition candidate. The
man who is said te have been his agent in
negotiating with the Hcpublicans. says the
letters ascribed te him are garbled or forged,
and acquits St. Jehn of all complicity in
any political simulation.
It docs leek very much as if the liepub
licans made an attempt te buy off St Jehn,
and had dealings with some of his jeeple.
But that they reached him or get near
him, or thai he steeped te them, dues net
appear.
The controvert' is none of our funeral.
The Democracy as a party lias net encour
aged and countenanced the principle of
prohibition as sound policy or sufficient
basis for a party. They neither stimulated
nor deprecated St. Jehn's candidacy. It
was an outgrowth of llepublicanism and
ene of the side movements which that
party has always encouraged, as far as it
was te its advantage, and deserted, le
t rayed and denounced when it could net 1k
engineered for partisan profit.
But if the ilcpublican managers have
proof against St. Jehn tliey had better pro
duce it quickly, or judgment will be taken
against them. Thus far they have failed,
as utterly as Blaine failed in Maine te carry
water en one shoulder and whisky en the
ether.
Te He Seen te.
Thel.iwjersai our bar need new te see
te it that only lawful feesaie exacted from
their clients by the court house officers. It
is net creditable te the bar that this
wrong lias been se long submitted te.
The bar association, which has liwn
feinied te rectify abuses and te stiffen
the lawyers in a straightforward walk in
their profession, should lefere new have
seen te It that no illegal fees wereier
mitted te if charged. But new when the
officers are under salary an epiKirtunity
is offered for the reform thisabuse which
must net be neglected.
If the court house ellieials had been le
strictcd by the court and the bar te the
charge of only lawful fees, the change in
their compensation from fees te salaries
would never have taken place. It was de
manded by their robberies. They have
killed the goee that laid their golden eggs.
They proiese te kick against the new law
by testing its constitutionality. This the
bar association should see te.
They propose te kick against it again by
.still charging unlaw ful fees, and distribut.
ing their proceeds in high salaries te many
clerks and in heavy charges for running
cviKMises. This also the bar association
must see te.

A well-known Journalist of this state, who
writes bted-and.tuum!cr;stnrlcs for the flash
weeklies, told me oue day that he did It ls ls
cause It paid him far belter than " legitimate
journalism." " I ran easily turn out two of
thee tales In n year," he Mid, "liotwecn my
regular work, and they bring me iu en
nvernge effl.iVl each." Ue vvs lh.it he
usually has a ground work or l.u-t, within
his own cxHrlcnre or reading, for his plots
and characters. Down iu Atlanta they will
show ,veu a very cesy, vine-clad cottage in
which lives Prof. Peck, who roll red from n
chair In a cel lege faculty te take n salary of
S10,000n year te w rile slori'es for the New Yerk
Ledger. I suspect tli.it Sidney hauler, Paul

of their writings.

There has been a story put Inte circulation
that when Mr. Win. M. Singerlj was Using
upon a plan ler his present licceni building
he "submitted the decision of the question te
his wife's judgment, stating the estimated
cost of the several plans. There would Imj a
saving of soveral thousand dollar in the plan
w lilch she commended, nnd he gave as a rea
son for se doing that the amount thus saved
could le made te accomplish a great deal of
geed in charitable work." Whoever tiled te
tell this story get It all wrong. Te begin
with, Mnv, Slngerly needed te resort te
no such device te obtain the means te accom
plish the " great deal of geed in charitable
work" te whichlicr kind impulses moved her:
nor was any such purported "incident" as
that related necessary te "prompt Mr. Sln
gerly te couUnue her generous subscription
as part of the income of the sum she had her
self consecrated te charity." The facts are
that vi hen Mr. Slngerly first contemplated
the erection of a new building for his new
paper office, he had picked upon the south
west corner or Chestnut and Ninth, new occu
pied by Perter A Ceatcs. When lie men
tioned It te his wife, upon whose strong judg
ment he largely relied, she vetoes the site,
because she had a superstition against a eor eer
ner that had leeii tw ice v iitrd bv fire. The
site finally chosen met her approval and
when the various plans were submitted te
her she at once, without knowing the prices
selected the costliest, because it was the best.
It was her Mgacity that determined the erec
tion of the imposing and imperishable struc
ture, and Mr. Slngerly was went te refer
with prlde te the edifice as a monument te
her superior Judgment. The late Mrs. Sln
gerly was his second wife: his only two
children, both married, weie daughters of
the first Mrs. slngerly.

We hear from New Yerk, Dec. 4J1 : -While
old Uureic se slowly accepts the idea of the
cremation of bodies, this method of :)opul :)epul :)opul
ture has become a verity among us. We
have already liegtm te establish crematories
and in some places bodies, await their turn for
incineration. The preference for actuation
is net confined te any class et society. It was
thus that recently the body r n well known
young actress, Miss Laura Clancv, came te
be cremated at her own express desire. Here
fellows a description of the cremation of Miss
Clancy's body at the Lancaster crematorium.

Cremation Is by no means a new notion.
There was Henry Laurens, of the famous old
Seuth Carolina family, a merchant of rare
judgment and culture, renowned as a Revo
lutionist, delegate from his st.ue te the Con
tinental Congress and president of it for tw e
years; minister lrem the colenics te Helland;
confined for fitteen mouths In n llntlsh
prison, and finally commissioner with Jay
and Franklin, te make the treaty this emi
nent man left dinvtieiu for lus'liedy te 1
burned, as the ln-st way te return its ele

had ordered, in a rude way, but as well as
the facilities at hand would enable them t
cremate It.
