TWELVE PAGES, SCHANTON, Al'HIh 28. 1897. It costs nearly $11,000,000 to Rovern the state of Now York two years. A comparison of the magnitude of New York with that of Pennsylvania, where the state government costs about the same sum, will indicate which common wealth Is Kovcrned the more cheaply. Yesterday at Riverside Park. When in a tlmo of depression In busi ness and unrest in politics a people villi concerns ho diversified as aro those of the American people can turn from more immediate interests and with substantial unanimity, through great demonstration and ImprosHivo ceremonial, pay tribute' to the memory of one of tho republic's most Illustri ous defenders, fl"Wu convincing proof that the fire of, enuho" patriotism HJfl not burned low. .T(ver,e are those who accuse us of belr.K a sordid and ma terialistic people; a nation of moncy petters and money-worshippers; n, pop ulace, largely bereft of the finer In stincts which enter into the rounding out of the higher civilization. ict.the natlor thus accused, by spon taneous concert of Its ofllciils and its common citizens, only a generation re moved from the bitter passions of a fratricidal war, desists from Its ordin ary vocations and enters with enthusi asm into thr work of honorins a hero sprung from among them; and he the foremost captain in that civil strife. The ceremonies at lllvcrMde park yes terday, at which were gathered the Hotter of American citizenship and nu merous representatives of the friendly poweis, were interesting and Inspiring in themselves; and constitute an occa sion whloh will live long in history. Hut more significant by far than the occasion lUelf Is the spirit which prompted it tho animus which exem plifies anew the loyalty of the Ameri can masses to American Institutions and traditions, and puts the stamp of authoritative Oenlal upon nil Impeach ments of American patriotism. Of Grant the man wo have already given our estimate. Of Grant tho sym bol, this majestic commemoration elo quently testifies. T'.ack of all that he personally was and did, and higher far than any purely Individual deserv ing, exalted as that was, this com memoration tells of a great people's de votion to the principles nf liberty, and evidences their cohesion In civic pro gress. It proves that the heart of tho nation still beats true, and that were necessity to call for it there would again be the Incomparable popular re sponse vhich, under the guidance of Almighty Frovidence, lifted' L'bsses S. Grant from tho ranks of the unknown to the pinnacle of human responsibil ity and achievement. The McKInley administration, ac cording to Mr. Cleveland, may be "wal lowing In the mire of extreme protec tion"; but that Is simply a coarse way of saying that it doesn't propose to wallow In the mire of federal deficits increased public debt and hard times. Consequently It is a compliment. Not Yet Rnded. One must admire the spunk with which little Greece scorns the sugges tion of Intervention by the poweis and declares Its willingness to abide the consequences of its own actions or else seek terms from Turkey directly. This kind of talk has the ring of true manliness, and will increase the sym pathy with which that portion of the Christian world which is not gauged by selfish intrigue feels for the intrepid children of Hellas. It would seem to Indicate, also, the unreliability of much of the news that professes to enlarge upon the decisive ness of the Greek defeat at Larlssa. It Is unlikely that the government nt Athens would maintain so defiant a tone in the face of an Irreparable re verse. It must not be forgotten that even though the Greek land forces may have been pushed back by overwhelm ing numbers, the Greek navy, which threatens the route of tho Turk's sup plies, has yet to be heard from. The superiority of that navy Is admitted. In opposition to It is a naval armament notoriously unwieldy and ineffective; and it would occasion small surprise if the forces of King George should compensate on water for the defeat sustained at Larlssa, For these and other reasons we are skeptical of the repoit that the war is nearlng Its end. Tho temper of the Greek populace would hardly tolerate a. negotiation for compiomlse in ud vance of the exhaustion of every un tried resource. And back of all tho un equal odds on the field of battle Is the fact that nine-tenths of the manhood of civilized Europe applauds the Greeks and may at any moment bo provoked Into the proffering of substantial en couragement. We do not lay claim to the gift of prophecy ; but our under standing of the situation 'is altogether at fault if the recent reports of decis ive Turkish triumphs shall be verified. Hut In any'outcome, one fact wlfl ap pear lustrously'upon tho pages of his tory; the fact that in an age of palter ing diplomacy, and un-Christian make shifts it was almout the smallest power In ' Etyrope -.that had tho cpurngo to strike the first brave blow for decent government and human rights.'- The memory of that bravery will lVe a pre cious legacy for Greece for all time to come; and the contemplation of it against the dark background of cow ardice and pusillanimity afforded in the attitude of the piojor powers will afford to future historian material fpr ex planation and apology the like of which has rarely stained the annals of civ ilization. i j Representative Coray made himself very unpopular with the legislative junlteteers when he introduced that i ... resolution requiring them to pay their own way to the Grant manument ded ication. Hut It Isn't likely that he cares much. The peculiarity of Mr. Coray is that he is Inclined to be hon est. Harold Frederic nsscrts that Turkey declared war on Greece nt the direct Instigation of Emperor William of Ger many, who Is mad at his sister, the queen of Greece, because she adopted tho Greek faith. Thin story Is hard to believe, hut, after all, It Is not worse than many others In circulation at the expense of Germany's arrogant ruler, bonie of which are well authenticated. Helped by Cleveland's Censure, The check of drover Cleveland in as serting, ero two months of his success or's term In ofllco have expired, timt tho McKInley administration will he a fail ure and thnt tho country must turn again to him for guidance If it would be prosperous once more for such wns the meaning between the llio gains for him general contempt. Even tho Mugwump clack, usually so quick to pipe to his treble, Is by no means hilar ious In Its applause of tho Reform club speech. As for the regular Democrats, tlv men who supported Bryan, their , niton Is well expressed by Senator uorman, who replied to nn Inquiry touching what he thought of Mr. Cleve land's address by whistling "Hark from the Tomb a Doleful Sound." And now comes tho slashing Watter son with a column ripper for the stuffed prophet, lie Interprets the Cleveland speech as the first gun in a battle for the Democratic presidential nomination In 1900; but he says: "Mr. Cleveland can never again bo presi dent of the United States. Under no conceivable circumstances ought ho to he. That he should contemplate an other candidacy affords strong evi dence of a lack In him o( Integrity nnd virtue. That a club of satellites should conspire to place him again In nomi nation Is not merely proof of the trea son of Its members to their country and to tho party to which they profess al legiance, but of a degrading sacrifice of patriotism and manhood." Nevertheless, the identification of "Mr. Cleveland with the sound money De mocracy as Its self-appointed leader and chief aspirant for future honors causes the gallant Kentucklan great uneasiness. "It," says ho, "Is discour aging to tho friends of reform in the south and west that thus prematurely the movement for honest politics rnd sound money should bo freighted down by a name which is potent only for evil. But it is still more discouraging to reflect that the man behind this name Is as Indefatigable as ho Is mis chievous; that he is very much richer than ever he was, and much more am bitious than ever he was; that Ill's re moval to New Jersey was the first ad roit step In his new plan of campaign; that every day of his life in that fine, effeminate Italian hand, he will write from two to fifty letters, addressed to person. In every part of the country; that, posing as a retired statesman and philosopher, and playing upon tho cre dulity of the simple-minded and easily flattered, he will leave no stiing un touched for stimulating tho activity of the expectant; and that day and night the Reform club, having In charge the circulation of Democratic literature, will be silently, surely working to the one end, which he and they have be fore them his nomination in 1900." Colonel Watterson calls upon the real friends of the true Democracy to ignore or suppress Grover Cleveland, but how can they do it? He has In subordina tion to his will the brains of the sound money Democracy. No other man In Its ranks exerts half his personal in fluence. No one sharing his Ideas can successfully compete with him for the honor of leadership. On tho other hand, with him nt the head of one faction, Bryan gains in strength vastly as the leader of the opposing column. It needs Grover Cleveland in precisely his pies ent attitude to keep the Democratic party dissevered and therefore harm less. For this reason, Republicans can afford to let the egotist of Princeton rail at his successor In olllce, for by thatvery act he adds to the certainty of McKinley's re-election. Tho handful of gold Democrats who supported Palmer nnd Buckner con tinue on various occasions to bonst how they tt'alloped Bryan; but there are some millions of Republican voteis who nevertheless have their own Ideas on this subject. The New Bankruptcy Bill. Tho senate has passed tho Nelson bankruptcy bill In substitution for tho Torrey bill; but it Is unlikely that the matter will be reached In the house un til well along, in the regular session next winter. The Nelson bill Is shorter than the Torrey bill and was drawn with a view to falling less heavily on debtors. It makes provision for both voluntary and Involuntary bank ruptcy, but In the former case, prefer ences must bo named at least four months prior to the filing of bank ruptcy petitions, the sum of indebted ness falling within the law's scope being $200 or more. The provision governing Involuntary bankruptcy Is as follows: "If any debtor being a banker, broker, mer chant, trader or manufacturer who owes $500 or over and who is unable to pay his debts shall at any time within four months of the time of filing of the petition hereinafter mentioned, assign, transfer, convey, or In any manner voluntarily incumber any of the prop erty with the nctual Intent nnd pur pose on his part to prefer or defraud any of his creditors, ha shall be deemed a bankrupt and may be pro ceeded against In a court of bann ruptcy, as hereinafter provided. A creditor or creditors having debts against such a bankrupt to the amount of $J00 or more may, within four months after the act of bankruptcy has been committed, file In the court of lMinkruptey in the district In which tho bankrupt resides, petition uneler oath, setting forth among other things, the acts of bankruptcy aforesaid and pray ing for an adjudication df bantu-uptey against the bankrupt and tho distribu tion of his estate among his credltora." Insolvents, however, have the right to a trial by Jury whenever they bo elect. Tho hearing must be held within 30 days, tho court or jury deciding wheth er the accused Is Insolvent or not. The Nelson bill is the reflection of western debtor sentiment, whereas tho. Torrey bill was a measure that aimed to do equal and exact Justice to every section and Interest. It would bo desir able were congress to pars the Torrey bill In Its oarly form; but If the oppo sition to It from western Influences la too strong, then thec ountry tt'lll ac cept tho Nelson bill In good spirit, con fident that If It errs on the side of len iency, tl e error Is ono which nppeals to humane sentiment. The great point Is to get a substantially equitable uni form bankruptcy law In operation. Ex perience will then correct detects. Chauncey Depew has recovered suf ficiently from his disappointment at not being nnmed ambassador to Eng land to crack jokes about It. We knew he couldn't stay mad, Tho key note to General Grant's suc cess was that he attended strictly to business. Biography tenches that tho most successful men always do. If there Is any other good ofllco that Ohio wants, now Is tho time to step up nnd get it. The "Ohio idea" continues to grab' everything In sight. Gossip at the Capital Special Correspondence of Tho Tribune. Washington, April 27. The nomination of Dcboe for United States senator by the Republican members of the Kentucky leRlslaturo has been regarded as a possi bility for some time, but the well-Informed politicians considered It so remoto that they had given no serious thought to It. Deboe Is a magnificent specimen of physi cal manhood, but when that Is said of him It about exhausts his qualifications for a seat in the United States senate. Another thing In his favor from the Kentucky standpoint Is tint ho I to tho manner bom. With only ono exception since the days of Henry Clay, Kentucky has had none but native sons In tho sennte. That one exception was James B. Heck. If Hunter had had the good fortuno to havo been born In tho Biuegrass state Instead of Pennsylvania he would very probably have won tho election after securing his party' nomination. The Kcntucklan's state prlJo is about tho stlffest nnd mo3t unyielding specimen of Its kind In the country. In speaking of Deboo Colonel John T. Holmes, of Louisville, who knows the embryo statesman well, today said: "A worso relection than Deboe coutd havo been mado with material at hand, but If anybody had -told me fifteen years ngo that tho plodding country doctor I used to meet in Crittenden county was some day going to wear tho mantle of Clay and BrccKlnridge, and Crittenden and Heck, I wouM have believed that his hal lucination was produced by copious In jections of dope. When I first knew De boe, he spent most of his time' abusing himself for studying medicine, and then trying to practice It In n community ttherehisft-es were paid In poultry, gard-M truck and other farm products when they weroiiald at all. In a few years he turned his attention to liw and deserted the pro fcsion of medicine altogether. "About the first case of importance he had was a damage suit for malpractice against a dot-tor In the county who had been the principal cause of Deboo quitting medicine for the law. The phylclan whs a great mixer with the country peoplo and gobbled all ihe practice of tho county, leaving cry poor picking for the man likely to soon ocuipy a seat In the senate. Ho treated a patient for smallpox, and, while he pulled him through, tho nrm came out of tho siege with his face disllg ur". for life. The patient consulted Deboe ibout his case ard Deboo advised him to suo the doctor for $3,0i for leaving him in :uch a bhape. When tho caso cpme to trial Deboo set up that the science of medicine had progressed so far that there was no longer an excuso for a phyMelnn to bring a smallpox patient through wltn his face pitted and disfigured for life. Ho succeeded In convincing the jury of his way of thinking about the matter, and se cured for his client a verdict for tho full amount asked. The winning of this cuo gavo him such popularity in his county that ho was soon s.ent to the state senate, though the' district had been overwhelm ingly Democratic time out of mind and he was an uncompromising Repuollcan," Much comment has been caused in Epis copal circles hero by tho action of a Mrs. Fairfax In withdrawing from St. Maik'h church, which is the pro-cnthc-dral church of the diocese. Mrs. Fairfax withdrew from membership in the church owing to a statement mado by the rector, tho Rev. Dr. Devries, regarding tho at tendance of colored people at the services. S?voral weeks ueo, at a meeting of the Blblo class, the question was put directly to Dr. Devries, who answered that Chris tianity knew no distinction of color or raco and he did not see how colored peoplo could bo debarred from attending a church which was Intended for tho use of tho whole diocese, or how colored people living In tjiat parish and entitled to par ish rights could be deprived of them. A few days later Dr, Devries received a note from Mrs. Fairfax, saying that she had strong views on thlH subject and could no longer remain a member of the church. Mrs, Fairfax Is a Virginian, and ono who suffered greatly during the Civil War. Sho Is said to bo a lineal descendant of Lord Fairfax, by whom tho Virginia county and city bearing his namo was onco owned. Her prejudices are said to be veiy strong, and on thlH point In pai tlcular they were too Intense to allow her to remain where such vlows wero toleiat od. Her daughter, who sang In the choir at St. Mark's, withdrew with her mother. Tho two transferred their membership to Trinity churen, whero tho daughter en toied the choir. As might havo been expected, tho withdrawal of Mrs. and Miss Fairfax from the church under such cir cumstances crcjitcd a great deal of gossip, especially as there was no secret mado of tholr reasons. Another family s,aid that they would also leave, but to far they hao remained. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, ono of the leaders of tho' Democratic forces in the bcnate, and chairman of tho Democratic National committee, docs not favor a. pol icy of obstruction to prevent ihe enact ment of tho new tariff legislation. "There will bo no factious opposition to tho meus uro In the senate by tho Democrats," said he, "Wo shall alscuss the bill fully and point out Its Imperfections. Wo shall, howover, content oui selves with a dig nified opposition, Insisting only upon a full and free discussion of Its schedules and a voto upon nny proposed amendments. Wo shall give tho Republicans no1 assist ance In passing It, but they, on the con trary, wl'l be permitted to pass It if they have the votes." Every senator and member of congross was tho recipient last week of a letter from a Kentucky distiller, containing nn order upon a local liquor seller for a bottle of a new brand of whiskey. Tho orders were in the form of handsomely engraved drafts, such as are utiod by banks gen erally, and wero numbered with a check perforator, to -prevent counterfeiting. Not nil senators and members called to secure the aforesaid bottle, but somo of them did, and very few orders, Indeed, are thcro that havo not been preninted by some on Congressmen's clerks In many cases have presented them, and now and then u page, who has picked one up from the floor, be bides a few colored lonsoiial trusts, and an occasional bootblack. "Was It good whiskey? And how big a bottle was It?" asked one congressman yesterday of a friend who had "cashod in" his order the day before. "The liquor was all right enough, sah," was the rerly, "but if a man had been thusty ho would have needed two or three bottles, snh." "I have seen men with nerve, but nono could surpHSg the lato A. II. SlotLnnkcr, of Philadelphia," said Colonel William Dlcksun, formerly a resident of thnt city. "B'jounaker was one of the brightest and most eloquent men I ever met, but ho nb- i solutely refused to tako life seriously, una of the nerviest things I cvcr-kncw Sloan akrr to do ,wjs ut ihe. convention which nominated Lincoln nnd Johnston in 1&64. Somebody. .told 'SloancV as ho was famil iarly called by his friend!, that the terri tory of Utah was Without, representation In the, convention. '1 will, fix ;hat;' said he. And. forthwith ho.wcnt.oft and wrote out his. own crtdontlali as a delegate nnd signed some one's namo ns the president of the territorial convention that hnd. se lected him. Imagine my surprise when Utah was reached hi the call of states and territories for tho nomination of vice president to sec Sloanakcr aoetid tho stage and, In a speech that could not be excelled for eloquence, nominate Andrew Johnson. When Johnson assumed the office of president he selctcd Sloanakcr as collector of Internal revenue of the rhlli deJphla.dlsUtot. It has often been- said that Sloanaker's speech won Johnson his nomination." WATTKKSON'S CENTER SHOT. From tho Courier-Journal. If Mr. Cleveland wero possessed of the faculty for conceiving any public affair apart from his own Interest even If he had nny real senso of personal dignity he would rid the great questions at Issue from the embarrassment of a presenco which Is not a help, but a menace. In stead of playing the part of a philosopher and sfatesmnn, white exhausting every artifice to regain the presidency, ho would perceive the grandeur of being such In loInt of fact, and of enjoying, like a statesman and a phllosoyher, the repose of hl.s honors and his years.N But ho would not bo himself if ho considered anything else than his own desire and will. Tho executive ofllco lepresents both. Ho likes tho power, the emoluments, and the em ployment. Ho has a talent for industry. He is dominant and experienced. To him tho presidency has become, whnt Indeed ho made It while he hnd It. a personal affair, held regardless of party obliga tions. Destitute alike of Imagination and of sympathy, he subjected overything and everybody to his unbounded nnd un quenchable egotism. Tills egotism Indeed became fro sincere that he grew at last to belleVo that ho did actually know some thing of tho questions of his time, und hnd somo jwllcy other than his love of power and display. It is Just ns well that Democrats, ivho seek tho rehabilitation of the party nn round political lines of action nnd thought, should know to begin on what lies ucross their path, and that they should begin to cast about them how to shako from their shoulders this Old Man of the Moun tains. He is with us only for what It will bring him. All his life an office-seeker and nn offlee-holdcr, he differs from tho rtff-rafT of his clns only In his high pre tensions and profound hypocrisy. He hopes In the hurly-burly of affairs to force htmself first upon the party nnd then upon the country as the representative of clean politics and tho public order. He repre sents neither. He represents only his own lust for office. A great nnd noble prin ciple must not be thus desecrated. A pos sible party rehabilitation of the greatest moment must not bo obstructed by such a death's-head nt the feast. If Mr. Cleve land hn9 not the wisdom to see his duty nnd the grace to get out he should be put out, for tho elimination of his ambitions Is Indlspensablo to any progress In the direction of reform. SOME IRISir J5UM.S. From a Letter In tho Sun. I onco heard a patient fn Tipi.rary say to his physician, when asked to fve. somo very blttar medicine, "Dootor, if it t.'oesn't hurt mo I'll thry an' stand the pain o it." Ono of. tho ablest of the Irish momlvrs In tho house of commons once said thn.t the Irish landlords were so rapacious that "I behove, .Mr. Speaker, if ono of these fellows owned land In the heart of Africa:, he wouldn't be there a week before ho would have his hands In tho pockets of tho naked savages!" A coronet's Jury In Wexford found thnt "the deceased came to his de'ith from excessive drinking, pro ducing apople-xy In the minds of the Jur." The listeners wero all touched with sym pathy, as well they might be, on hearing the old farmer exclaim, as he pointed to the little country churchyard, "Thcro Is where my father and his father before him are burled, nnd where myself an Mary expect to be burled, too, If God spares us our lives." Edmund Dwyer Gray, the-n Lord Mayor of Dublin and proprietor of the Freeman's Journal, said once: ".Mr. Spenker, thiee-fourths of this bill Is objectionable, and I cannot bring myself to voto for tho other half." "My Lord," sa(d the Q. C., "my client was struck In tho side of the head with a certain wooden Instrument called an iron pestle." LIMIT OI' HUMAN' VISION. From tho Chicago Record. Tho longest dlstanse ever cnc'ompasccd by the human viblon, so far as tho records go. Is 153 miles, between the Uncompaghra peak, In Colorado, and Mount Ellen, In Utah. Tnls feat was accomplished by the surveyors of tho United States coast and geodetic survey, who aro now engaged. In conjunction with representatives of other nations, in making a new measurement of the earth Tho observers on the Pa cific coast have been able to signal from Mount Shasta to Mount Helena, a dls tunco of 100 miles, but have never been ablo to get a response. Between tho other two peaks communication has been con tinuous for an hour or more on several oc casions. Tho Uncompaghra Is 13,300 feet In height, while Mount Ellen Is 13,100 feet. Tho longest distance that tho human eye ever reached until this record was made was between Algiers and Spain, 1CS miles. AX AGE OI' liHL'TK FORCE. From an Interview with Senator Elklns. "Tho present age is distinguished for the brute forco of individual capital. Car litgle has tho finest mill In the world, and ho and the Chicago steel plnnt nro get ting the full advantage of tho anti-pool decisions, as ho works with moro ad juncts than any combination, and ho is breaking up Iron works which cost their owners half a mKllon dollars, tho for tuno of a life-time. LIko the farmer who sees foreign development destroying hl3 farm, tho Iron mill owner is caught be tween Carnegie's unrestrained giant single hand and the fatuity of tho railroads de fying tho laws of congress." THE PROPER DOCTRINE. From tho Philadelphia Times. Tho peoplo are entirely willing to sub mit to tariff duties which will fully pro tect tho well requited labor of this coun try agaltiBt cheaper and often pauper la bor of Europe. To that extent protection Is legitimate; beyond that extent It la monopoly and oppression, and will not be submitted to. The people not only want fair protective duties for our productive Industries for tho benefit of American labor, but they want to make suro that tho American laborer gets tho benefits of the taxes Imposed upon the people for tho purpose of enlarging his wages. WHAT IT WANTS. From tho Washington Star. Evorj'body knows what the country Is awaiting at tho hands of congress at this season. The country may be disappoint ed in this tariff bill, but that is another question. Like the youngster In the ad vertisement, who is bending over the bath tub and reaching for a cuko of famous soap, it will never bo happy until It gets it.
