The Vermont colonel remarks that upon that ooeasion he was convinced that "lien-Hor- y was a courageous leader and a true gentleman." He has not changed his mind.

Mr. Zola is the General Weaver of Frenoh literature. was made touching its condition, it be- came more and more apparent that tho institution was not only solvent, but capable of proceeding to business. This episodo should tend to confirm confi- dence in all the regular banking institu- tions of Indianapolis. They are man- aged by men of experience who have those conservative theories regarding bank management which insure finan- cial stability. At all times, and specially in seasons of doubt, it is a great advan- tage to a community to know beyond a reasonable doubt that its banks are sound, and that money is safer in them than in private hands. bearing on tho question. Sunday trains, freight, passenger and mail, run on nil the roads, and have been doing so for year past, without reference to the world's fair. It is quite likely that Sun- day travel will be heavier than usual during tho next few months on account of the fair, as travel on every other day of tho week will be, but the trains would run all the same if the fair were not open on Sunday. The world's fair is a very small factor in the question "of Sunday railroad work, a mere bubble on the stream. Tho Jour- nal would be heartily in favor of a great reduction in the amount of Sunday rail- road work, as it would be of any move- ment that looked to a more general ob- servance of Sunday as a day of rest for nil classes of men, but it cannot see that that reform would bo promoted an iota by closing the fair on Sunday. It may bo remarked, by the way, that the government which has niado 60 great a show of Sabbatarian virtue in its effort to close the gates of tho fair on Sundays, is itself a wholesale sinner in this regard, since it stipulates by con- tract for the ' carrying of the mails on Sunday and compels many thousands of postal clerks and postoflice employes to work on that day. Tho position of tho government on the Sunday closing question has been thoroughly Phari- saical. Next to the railroads it has dono and is doing more to break down the observance of Sunday as a day of rest than any other organization or in- fluence in the land. It would have ap- peared more consistent if it had stopped its hundreds of Sunday mail trains and released its thousands of postal cm ployes from Sunday work before trying to close the world's fair on Sundays. The Journal docs not believe that the American Sunday will euffor any detri- ment as a day of rest from Sunday opening of the fair, or that American workingmen aro in any immediate dan- ger of having their days or hours of labor increased. On tho contrary, the tendency of things is distinctly in tho other direction. ) A CONFIDENCE GAME. , "There will bo no assault on pensions" was the declaration of a prominent In- diana Democrat, who is himself a vet- eran, to a Republican veteran about three months ago. He then proceeded to give his reasons. During tho Na- tional Encampment it was ascertained by Democratic veterans from those in attendance that the soldier vote was tending toward General Harrison more' decidedly than it over had towtrd a Re- publican candidate, and that, unless something was done at once to stop the movement, the Democrats could hopo for nothing in any of the close States of tho North. A very secret conference was held to consider the matter, and representations wero mado to men who were near to Mr. Cleveland which led them to fix np some sort of a statement to the effect that Mr. Cleveland, if elected, would not assail the pension system, regarding it in tho nature of a settled question. This statement was put in the form of a pledge, and, some weeks before the election, all Democratic voters in this State and in others, who are veterans, were privately seen and assured that Mr. Cleveland was all right. At the same time an annex of the Democratic national committee, run under tho auspices of an alleged Democratic veteran association, sent out thousands of circulars setting forth that it was better for veterans to divide their vote nnd that it was much to their advantage to vote for Mr". Cleveland. The result of this effort was that many veterans of Democratic predilections, who would have voted for General Har- rison early in October, were won back to the Democracy by the assurances which tho Democratic conference at the time of the encampment caused to be made to them, ostensibly in the name of Mr. Cleveland. Tho Democrat from whom this information comes said that nearly every Democratic soldier in Indi-nu- a was seen and won back to Cleve- land. He also expressod tho opinion that, but for that special effort, Indiana would have gone Republican. It now seems that those Democratic managers who engineered the schemo did not have authority to speak for Mr. Cleve- land, but played a sort of a green-good- s game upon several thousand veterans in Indiana.

In 1680 the umouut of United States "bonds held in Europe was $537,000,000. It is estimated from the checks for in- terest on bonds sent abroad that $18,-500,0- 60 of tho national securities are held abroad.' This ia one of the results of the Republican policy. Tm: sixty clerks dismissed from the land bureau is not the economical meas- ure that the announcement implies, but was necessary because the appropria- tion is exhausted.

Lat week, when trio President did not appear at the Whit Houeo for two or three days, tojulyish correspondents, to appease the ollice seekers' wrath and put the Anointed One right before tho country, telegraphed that Mr. Cleve- land was suffering from an attack of rheumatism.

The international congress of bank- ers and financiers, which is to meet in Chicago to-da- y. will embrace a largo amount of financial talent. Tho Gov- ernors of forty States and Territories have appointed delegates, almost all tho bankers' associations and clearing houses will be represented, and over 1,000 hankers of this and foreign coun- tries have signified thoir purpose to at- tend. Of course, the conercsa can do nothing but talk, but its talk ought to throw some light on current financial problems. Goveknou Matthews, who has been Investigating the situation at Robey, laid to a reporter of a Chicago paper, "Thero will be no more rprizo tights in my State." This is the right kind of talk, and it i to bo hoped the Governor will stand up to it. Thero have been two prize fights at Robey already, in spite of the Governor's Assurance that norio should occur, but tho people will give him another chance to make his words good. All that is necessary is to see that the law is enfored, and that is what a Governor is for. The comparatively small amount of money drawn out of the Capital Rank yesterday, when it was reopened for business, and tho faith which its regular customers showed in the institution by making deposits, are very encouraging indications. As a matter of fact, thoro was very little cause for the bank to close its doors. If it hnd been able, at thrt time, to hnve nmdo a statement of its condition, it is not probable that it would have been forced to close.

The reports of o flic en were rec: vVd and referred. The reaigatioi'i of Vice President Hale was received wjth expressions of. regret Ho has been pr moted to a position in which tho handling of cars does not figure in his work aud thia was the reason of his resignation. - The afternoon Was spent largely in passing upon the revision of tbo constitution and by laws.as reported from the committee. The changes made were not of great impor- tance. The "per diem" method of account- ing tor service of cars occupied a short time in discussion. The present system is on tbe mileage basis . and depends upon the honesty of the road using tbe oar. It is impossible to keep track of a car, it is said, npon tbe mileage basis. Thqre was ono instance during tho year when it was discovered that a road in New Eng- land had been systematically swindling other roads with whioh it did business out of large sums of money, lieititntion was made after tbo discovery,-nn- d $SU.ooo WHi needed to square tbo accounts. This La mado the subject ono of. great interest just now, and it is probable it will result in a retnru to the per diem system, iu which a complete account can be kept. Tbe sub- ject was referred to the American Batlwu7 Association. Mr. S. H. Cburob, of the Pennsylvania road, read a paper upon the subje t of pool- ing in the ownership and use of box cars. He sought to demonstrtto how thia idea could be used to advantage by railroads, giving each tho use ot cars when not needed by tbe other members of the pool. Tbe discussion showed that the plans suggested did not strike the conven- tion as altogether leasi bio under present conditions. It was admitted, however, that the scheme might bo mado to work well on a limited scale. It was held to ha impossible ot execution generally unless the present system of car service can bo changed. The convention decided to meet at Old Point Comfort on Juno 19, :8.)L Tho even- - ing was spent socially. The ladies of the party were given a ride over tho city in carriages at tbe expense, of the Big Four road. The gentlemen wero entertained at the Denison House by Mr. Cavanagh. of this city. The convention will finish its work to-da- y. Among the entertainment! provided aro a banquet and a hall. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Charles Milton, a contracting carpenter, attempted eelf-destrnctio- n, yesterday, in a lit of despondency due to disappointment in business. His last contracts resulted in his Wing money, aud. having a family of children, including a babe, dependent upon him. he became disoouragod. He dfanlc m quantity of chloral hydrate during tha evening and lay down upon the lounge in tbe sitting room of bis house, corner of Wilkins and Locust streets. His wife thought he was only asleep until she heard him fall from the lounge to the floor, and then she found she could not arouse him. Dr. C. I. Fletcher was called in. and after four or five hours' work succeeded in bring- ing him to consciousness. Itisnow thought that ho will recover.

The annual meeting of the board of gov- ernors of the Board of Trade occurred last night at headquarters for the purpose of in- stalling eleoted ollicers and for the election of the secretary and graia inspectors. The newly-electe- d president, Mr. James A. Wildman. was installed in his chair by the retiring president. Mr. Murphy, and. in as- suming the gavel, mads a short and point ed address. After thanking the board for the honor conferred upon him, and pledg- ing his best strength to the service of tho organization, he proceeded to speak of tho prosperity of the city. It is a matter of congratulation, he said, that the bank whioh was recently in trouble has again opened its doers and ia pre- pared to merit and to enjoy the con- fidence of the business public It demonstrated that the city is in a tpendld financial condition, and he ventured to as- sert that no city of its eizo in the country is in hotter financial form. Thero is less of that common feeling of opposition against tho capital or leading city of a State than there used to he against Indianapolis. Evidence of this was. found in the ease with which capital from other cities of the State was induced to join with the capital of this city in the organization of the two lane financial concerns whioh have been recently organized. Ho was glad, he said, to take note of this good feeling toward the city. He bespoke a reciprocal feeling of interest in the welfare of other cities of the btate, and urged the members of the Board of Trade to give visitors in the oity a cordial welcome and manifest the interest that hospitality dictates. inferring to tho city's record in the past year. President Wildman pointed ont that thero were 2,700 now houses built during, the year of ltrj2, at a cost of S3.500.00il. Of these 1,754 were built by building and loan associations, or nearly two-third- s of tbe whole. There are about one hundred ef these associations in the city. The num- ber of real-estat- e transactions during tho year was 5.775,, involving a change cf nearly Sll.OOU.OO0L A jobbing trade was done in thi city last year amounting to 229.000.000.

One hundred and twenty passenger trains ar- rive and depart from the Union Station, daily, carrying '2b,Ui)0 passengers every hour. Owing to tbe election qf George W. Sloan us vice president, there was a va- cancy on the hoard of governors. It was filled last night by the eleotiou of Gen. IL 8. Foster for a term of four years. He and W. B. lioltou having received an eual number of votes, it 'was determined hy lot tnat General Foster should serve tho four-ye- ar term and Mr. Hoiton the two-yea- r term. J. E. McGettigau was the other member who drew a two-ye- ar term. The new members eleoted outside of those aro John V. Murphy. E. B. Martindale. Wil- liam Scott, John P. Wallick, Albert Gall. Ford Woods, Edward Hawkins, C. S. Den- ny and J. E. Shideler. Proceeding to the eleotion of those off- icers whom it is incumbent upon tbe hoard of governors to eleot, the vote was uuani-mot- is for Jacob W. Smith for secretary, and for Edward Duuu for chief inspector of grain, aud for John lleiner for assistant inspector of grain. The president was in- structed to appoint a coin mitten of five, who shall recommend for election at the next meeting the. standing committees. H was also directed to appoint a committee for the purpose of selecting those commit- tees which are composed of members of the board outside of the board of governors. The president was made chairman of tho two committees when meeting jointly, in order that one member shall not be selected for two or more committees. The an- nouncement of these committees will be made to-da- y or to-morro- w. The bond of John Ostermnn, treasurer, for 25,000, was approved and accepted. It bore tho names of John W. Murphy and M. O'Connor. Mr. Soott ollered a suggestion In refer- ence to tho tract of ground laid out in lots recently by General Morris. He said that it bad been suggested to blm by several of tho good ladies of thn city that tho tract containing fifteen or sixteen acres, .would be a fine place for a park, and on inquiry be had satisfied himself that the ground could be bought by the city on very long time at low interest. He thought that I perhaps a special price might be obtained if a name in honor of the present owner wero adopted. Mr. Tauuer put the idea iu tbe shape of a motion, to refer tho subject to a special committee, and said that he wished to go further. He said that tbe ground lying between Scholield's mills and the Michigan road, on both sides of the creek, would be a very attractive spot for a park. Tho ground could be bought at a cost much cheaper than tho Morris property, but be said he was iu favor ot the purchase of that also. A vote of thanks was extended to the retiritig president for the faithful and impartial manner in which ho had discharged his duties. The vote was a ris- ing one, and unanimous. Beforo ad- journing President Wildman called attention to tho faot that there is a wide field of . usefulness for the organiza- tion. He would leave, he said, the remark of a young member, which ho had heard during tbe day. with tbe board, to the ellect chat the present building should b sold and oue erected that would be a credit to tho city. It is a subject, he said, that ought to receive tho earnest attention of tbe members. The members of tho board and representatives of the press were then Invited to Sherman's to partake of "light and cool" refroKhments. Here ice cream and strawberries, claret punch and cigars were served. The postprandial speeches were made hy George W. Sloan, vice president; by Mr. li. O. Hawkins and by Mr. Tanner. The last said that ho bad come to tho con- clusion in traveling in Europe that in countries having a better climate and a richer soil than our own. their failure to bo great and to equal our own Nation is duo to the inferior quality of the people. It is not all our form of government that makes this Nation great, but it is because our men are the bravest and our women thn fairest and best in the world. The company then rose aud adjourned.

John Lk1)Vaiu, the great traveler, says that among all nations women adorn them- selves more than men, bat that wherever found they are tho same kind, civil, hu- mane and tender beings, inclined to be cheerful, timorous and modest. Arthur Balfouu says that bis greatest politioal help eomes from his sister. Miss Agues Balfour, who is his housekeeper. Each day she devotes a fixed amount of time to reading the newspapers and mark- ing what is uselul for his perusal. A good story is told by Dr. Hohertson Kiool of the late ir Henry Moncrieif. The latter had a parrot.wbioh was always pres- ent at family worship. In the morning Sir Henry followed the old Scottish cus- tom of singing the metrical version of the Psalms straight through, two verses per day. The 119th Psalm, of oourse. took many days, and he always commenced by saying: "Lotus sing in the lllth Psalm' At last the Psalm was finished, and next day Sir Henry began, "Let us sing in the PJOtb Psalm." "Let us sing.' said the parrot limly, "in the lPJth Psalm." Emilise Phescott, ot Maine, deserves first place in the ranks of women who have pronounced ideas on dress, and the courage of their convictions in wearing them.

The wounded man walked home, nearly a mile away, and dropped dead in trout of his door. The coroner's jury refused to hold Duncan, say-lu- g that it was justifiable homicide.

Lx-Presid- ent Harrison is having a thor- oughly good time at the world's fair, and his countrymen, regardless of party, will bo glad to near it. He is finding in tho White City concentrated aud beautiful evidence of the skill, industry and wealth of tho Nation, which reached during his administration the highest point of its prosperity. His long rest at his Indianapo- lis home, after tho personal bereavements anrt ollicial trials of his residence in the White Hons, has lifted him once moro for contaot with men and aftairs. and it is a pleasure to know that as a private Ameri- can citizen be is receiving the tributes whioh the people voluntarily accord to nigh character and a life tilled with faith- ful labor and brilliant achievements. Tims to Prevent t Price Fight O&loago Bscc rd. Governor Matthews, of Indiana, declares that he will put a stop to prize lights. It is respectfully suggested to the Governor that his sherilis ought to be advised that tho time to prevent a prize fight is before it happens, nut utter it's all over. The advocates of the free coinage of silver who aro so fond of quoting tho example of Franco as a bimetallic coun- try should not object to the adoption of the policy of France in regard to silver. ' Franco .has not coined a legal-tend- er live-fra- nc piece out of new bullion for years. France has not had its mints open for the free coinage of silver bullion for many moro years. It has all the silver that its people need. The vaults of the Bank of France are as full of silver as are those of the United States treasury. Tho silver coin is used at its bullion value as a basis for papnr money. Are the free-coina- ge people willing that the United States shall cease tho purchase of silver bullion, ( coin that it now owns, and tiien pursue tho policy of France? That would give us about as much silver as France has. and by adopting the policy of that coun- try it could be carried for domestio traflio on a gold basis. Statistics recently collected by tho Na- tional Board of Underwriters show 'the number of tires per one thousand of potmla-- 1 tion in several European cities durinalByi, as follows: London. .08 per cent.; Paris, .43; Berlin, 2.55; 6t.

A comparison of these figures reveals the superior building methods and precaution- ary measures used in foreign cities. It will be observed, by the way, that Indianapolis ranks well up towards tho top of the list in its percentage of fires to population. Hon. Chaunckt M. DnrKW, who is en-thusias- tio in praise of tho world's fair, m tikes a suggestion in regard to its pos- sible etJect on the financial . situation which is worth thinking about, fie says: There will bo in Chicago during the next four months at least 200,000 persons eauh day spend- ing not less than $5 apiece per dlein. The aver- age will be much higher. This represent only ex- penses there. To that must ho added the money spent tn preparation for comine and upon trans- portation. This will urine out of hiding pi aces, and old fetoeklnK. aud afety-dpos- it vaults vast sums which will be put in active circulation, tho benefit of which will bo felt throughout the land. 8o far, only the people within a radius of a few hundred miles have visited Chicago. Those In the diMaDce have been the pa Avengers on tho limited trains. But as the knowledge of what thero is hero and a comprehension of what will be their misfortune to miss it roea through tho country there will be a movement unprecedent- ed in our hiatory toward Chicago. Lvery one .who haf, or who can bec or borrow, enough money to git here and back homo again is com- ing, and as soon aa this demand becomes evident the railroad companies will meet it by cheaper service. These are the viows of a shrewd and practical man, and they do not seem un- reasonable. Sukvivors of the "Wilder Brigade," of whom there are many in this State, will be pleased to hear that tho monument which I is being erectod in its memory on the battle field 'of Cbickamanga is making good progress. A Chattanooga dispatch says: The monument has reached tho height of sixty feet. and. wheu tinihed. its iron roof, surmount- ed by u pavilion, will bo one hundred feet from tho summit of the Glenu hill, near "Bloody pond," the position held by the brigade duties the desperate battle which etided in the occupa- tion of chattauooaa by the Union army under General Hosecrans. Tho basti of tho structure, whioh is of blao limestone, quarried near the his- toric CrHwnsh spring, has at each anle a pedes- tal surmounted by a pyramid of CHnnon balls. On each face are two polished marble tablets, six of which will par tribute to the organization composing the brigade, and two will present appropriate inscription. In the solid stouo will bo imbedded a large iron aafo containing tho archives of tho brigade, A spiral stairoaao'leads up tho center of the shaft to the top. The Wilder Brigade included the Seven- teenth and Soventy-secon- d Indiana and the Eighteenth Indiana battery, with two Illinois regiments. Laiy MaonI'!. whoover ebo may ho. deplores tho exhibition of professional entertainers at dinner parties as vulgar and pretentious. When we havo reached the civilization we aro striving after so earnestly, the dinner party itself will he considered vulgar. People will still tlock together for amusement, for social con- verse and entertainment, out they will do their feeding at home. A coloxkl of a Vermont regiment be- longing to a division of tho Sixth Corps, which was hastened forward to Geueral Wallace to keep Early out of Washington, in July. IH'A, has been writing an accoant of the battle of Monocacy, in which Gen. Wallace's handful of men fought four timts Tho Rev. Dr. Rondthaler, of this city, in a sermon against Sunday opening of the world's fair, dwelt with strong em- phasis on the point that it was an open- ing wedge to the entire abolition of Sun- day as a day of rest. This part of his argument dealt rather with the hygienio than with the moral or religious aspect of tho question, and was based on tho well-recogniz- ed principle that all men, and especially all workingmen, should rest from labor one day in seven. Of the general roundness of this position there can be no doubt. Irrespective of the moral or religious aspects of tho case, there can be no question that men live longer and do moro and better work for taking at least as much as one day of rest in seven. When revolution- ary Franco tried to abolish the Christian Sunday by substituting one day of rest in ten, physiologists found it was not sufficient. Tho . priuciplo of Sunday observance, that is, of observing ono day in seven as a day of rest, is as wise and as deep-roote- d as any other feature of the Mosaic code, and ought to be observed more strictly than it is. Unfortunately, the conditions and exi- gencies of modern life are such that this, like many other sound hygienic principles, cannot be universally ob- served, bnt the duty of adhering to it as closely as possible should never bo lot sight of. Dr. Rondthaler thinks tho opening of the world's fair on Sunday is a decided step in the direction of doing away with Sunday as a day of rest. "If I wero a laboring man," ho says, "I would most vehemently protest against an open Sunday at the exposition on the ground that it would most surely bring me ulti- mately into tho slavery of an open Suu-da- y in my own department of work." The Doctor should have said if ho were a laboring man with his present views he would most vehemently protest, etc. It is evident, however, that working-me- n generally and labornnions through- out the country, which are officered by very intelligent men, do not regard tho matter in that light. They, as every- body knows, are exceedingly jealous of any encroachment on any of their rights, including the right to one day of rest in seven, and if they saw any 6iich encroachment, or oven a rcmoto sug- gestion of it, in Sunday open- ing of tho fair they would bo very quick to oppose it. But Dr. Rondthaler says tho workiugmcn who favor Sunday opening nre entirely selfish. They do not care how much Sunday work they put on others so they have a day of rest and recreation them- selves. 'Tor that privilege," says the Doctor, "they deprive thousands of their fellow-workm- en of the first-da- y rest which tho laws of the land grant them. Tho cry of a multitude of rail- road operatives from the ono hundred roads centering in Chicago has gone up pleading for one day in seven for re6t." Speaking after the manner of men, we do not think this argument will hold water. The Journal believes there is much more Sunday work done by Amer- ican railroads than is necessary, and that it might be greatly lessened with- out detriment to vthe roads and to the decided benefit of their employes, but it dots not believe that Sunday opening or closing of tho lair will have any

was made touching its condition, it be-

came more and more apparent that thoinstitution was not only solvent, butcapable of proceeding to business. Thisepisodo should tend to confirm confi-dence in all the regular banking institu-tions of Indianapolis. They are man-aged by men of experience who havethose conservative theories regardingbank management which insure finan-cial stability. At all times, and speciallyin seasons of doubt, it is a great advan-tage to a community to know beyond areasonable doubt that its banks aresound, and that money is safer in themthan in private hands.

bearing on tho question. Sunday trains,freight, passenger and mail, run on nilthe roads, and have been doing so foryear past, without reference to theworld's fair. It is quite likely that Sun-day travel will be heavier than usualduring tho next few months on accountof the fair, as travel on every other dayof tho week will be, but the trainswould run all the same if the fairwere not open on Sunday. Theworld's fair is a very small factor in thequestion "of Sunday railroad work, amere bubble on the stream. Tho Jour-nal would be heartily in favor of a greatreduction in the amount of Sunday rail-

road work, as it would be of any move-ment that looked to a more general ob-

servance of Sunday as a day of rest fornil classes of men, but it cannot seethat that reform would bo promoted aniota by closing the fair on Sunday. Itmay bo remarked, by the way, that thegovernment which has niado 60 greata show of Sabbatarian virtue in itseffort to close the gates of tho fair onSundays, is itself a wholesale sinner inthis regard, since it stipulates by con-

tract for the ' carrying of the mails onSunday and compels many thousands ofpostal clerks and postoflice employes towork on that day. Tho position of thogovernment on the Sunday closingquestion has been thoroughly Phari-saical. Next to the railroads it hasdono and is doing more to break downthe observance of Sunday as a day ofrest than any other organization or in-

fluence in the land. It would have ap-

peared more consistent if it had stoppedits hundreds of Sunday mail trains andreleased its thousands of postal cmployes from Sunday work before tryingto close the world's fair on Sundays.

The Journal docs not believe that theAmerican Sunday will euffor any detri-ment as a day of rest from Sundayopening of the fair, or that Americanworkingmen aro in any immediate dan-ger of having their days or hours oflabor increased. On tho contrary, thetendency of things is distinctly in thoother direction.

A CONFIDENCE GAME. ,

"There will bo no assault on pensions"was the declaration of a prominent In-

diana Democrat, who is himself a vet-eran, to a Republican veteran aboutthree months ago. He then proceededto give his reasons. During tho Na-

tional Encampment it was ascertainedby Democratic veterans from those inattendance that the soldier vote wastending toward General Harrison more'decidedly than it over had towtrd a Re-

publican candidate, and that, unlesssomething was done at once to stop themovement, the Democrats could hopofor nothing in any of the close States oftho North. A very secret conferencewas held to consider the matter, andrepresentations wero mado to men whowere near to Mr. Cleveland which ledthem to fix np some sort of a statementto the effect that Mr. Cleveland, ifelected, would not assail the pensionsystem, regarding it in tho nature of asettled question. This statement wasput in the form of a pledge, and, someweeks before the election, all Democraticvoters in this State and in others, whoare veterans, were privately seen andassured that Mr. Cleveland was allright. At the same time an annex ofthe Democratic national committee,run under tho auspices of an allegedDemocratic veteran association, sentout thousands of circulars setting forththat it was better for veterans to dividetheir vote nnd that it was much to theiradvantage to vote for Mr". Cleveland.The result of this effort was that manyveterans of Democratic predilections,who would have voted for General Har-rison early in October, were won backto the Democracy by the assuranceswhich tho Democratic conference atthe time of the encampment caused tobe made to them, ostensibly in the nameof Mr. Cleveland. Tho Democrat fromwhom this information comes said thatnearly every Democratic soldier in Indi-nu- a

was seen and won back to Cleve-land. He also expressod tho opinionthat, but for that special effort, Indianawould have gone Republican. It nowseems that those Democratic managerswho engineered the schemo did nothave authority to speak for Mr. Cleve-land, but played a sort of a green-good- s

game upon several thousand veteransin Indiana.

The international congress of bank-ers and financiers, which is to meet inChicago to-da- y. will embrace a largoamount of financial talent. Tho Gov-ernors of forty States and Territorieshave appointed delegates, almost all thobankers' associations and clearinghouses will be represented, and over1,000 hankers of this and foreign coun-tries have signified thoir purpose to at-

Goveknou Matthews, who has beenInvestigating the situation at Robey,laid to a reporter of a Chicago paper,"Thero will be no more rprizo tights inmy State."

The afternoon Was spent largely in passingupon the revision of tbo constitution andby laws.as reported from the committee. Thechanges made were not of great impor-tance. The "per diem" method of account-ing tor service of cars occupied a shorttime in discussion. The present system ison tbe mileage basis . and dependsupon the honesty of the road using tbe oar.It is impossible to keep track of a car,it is said, npon tbe mileage basis.

The annual meeting of the board of gov-

suming the gavel, mads a short and pointed address. After thanking the board forthe honor conferred upon him, and pledg-

ing his best strength to the service of thoorganization, he proceeded to speak of thoprosperity of the city. It is a matter ofcongratulation, he said, that the bankwhioh was recently in trouble hasagain opened its doers and ia pre-

pared to merit and to enjoy the con-

fidence of the business public Itdemonstrated that the city is in a tpendldfinancial condition, and he ventured to as-

sert that no city of its eizo in the countryis in hotter financial form. Thero is less ofthat common feeling of opposition againsttho capital or leading city of a State thanthere used to he against Indianapolis.Evidence of this was. found in the easewith which capital from other cities of theState was induced to join with the capitalof this city in the organization of the twolane financial concerns whioh have beenrecently organized. Ho was glad, he said,to take note of this good feeling towardthe city. He bespoke a reciprocal feelingof interest in the welfare of other cities ofthe btate, and urged the members of theBoard of Trade to give visitors in the oity acordial welcome and manifest the interestthat hospitality dictates.

Owing to tbe election qf George W.Sloan us vice president, there was a va-cancy on the hoard of governors. It wasfilled last night by the eleotiou of Gen. IL8. Foster for a term of four years. He andW. B. lioltou having received an eualnumber of votes, it 'was determined hy lottnat General Foster should serve tho four-ye- ar

term and Mr. Hoiton the two-yea- r

term. J. E. McGettigau was the othermember who drew a two-ye- ar term. Thenew members eleoted outside of those aroJohn V. Murphy. E. B. Martindale. Wil-liam Scott, John P. Wallick, Albert Gall.Ford Woods, Edward Hawkins, C. S. Den-ny and J. E. Shideler.

Proceeding to the eleotion of those off-icers whom it is incumbent upon tbe hoardof governors to eleot, the vote was uuani-mot- is

for Jacob W. Smith for secretary,and for Edward Duuu for chief inspectorof grain, aud for John lleiner for assistantinspector of grain. The president was in-structed to appoint a coin mitten of five,who shall recommend for election at thenext meeting the. standing committees. Hwas also directed to appoint a committeefor the purpose of selecting those commit-tees which are composed of members of theboard outside of the board of governors.The president was made chairman of thotwo committees when meeting jointly, inorder that one member shall not be selectedfor two or more committees. The an-nouncement of these committees will bemade to-da-y or to-morro- w. The bond ofJohn Ostermnn, treasurer, for 25,000, wasapproved and accepted. It bore tho namesof John W. Murphy and M. O'Connor.

Mr. Soott ollered a suggestion In refer-ence to tho tract of ground laid out in lotsrecently by General Morris. He said thatit bad been suggested to blm by several oftho good ladies of thn city that tho tractcontaining fifteen or sixteen acres, .wouldbe a fine place for a park, and on inquirybe had satisfied himself that the groundcould be bought by the city on very longtime at low interest. He thought that

I perhaps a special price might be obtainedif a name in honor of the present ownerwero adopted. Mr. Tauuer putthe idea iu tbe shape of a motion, to refertho subject to a special committee, andsaid that he wished to go further. He saidthat tbe ground lying between Scholield'smills and the Michigan road, on both sidesof the creek, would be a very attractivespot for a park. Tho ground could bebought at a cost much cheaper than thoMorris property, but be said he was iufavor ot the purchase of that also. A voteof thanks was extended to the retiritigpresident for the faithful and impartialmanner in which ho had dischargedhis duties. The vote was a ris-ing one, and unanimous. Beforo ad-journing President Wildman calledattention to tho faot that there is awide field of . usefulness for the organiza-tion. He would leave, he said, the remarkof a young member, which ho had heardduring tbe day. with tbe board, to theellect chat the present building should bsold and oue erected that would be a creditto tho city. It is a subject, he said, thatought to receive tho earnest attention oftbe members. The members of tho boardand representatives of the press were thenInvited to Sherman's to partake of"light and cool" refroKhments. Hereice cream and strawberries, claretpunch and cigars were served.The postprandial speeches were made hyGeorge W. Sloan, vice president; by Mr.li. O. Hawkins and by Mr. Tanner. Thelast said that ho bad come to tho con-clusion in traveling in Europe that incountries having a better climate and aricher soil than our own. their failure to bogreat and to equal our own Nation is duoto the inferior quality of the people. It isnot all our form of government that makesthis Nation great, but it is because our menare the bravest and our women thn fairestand best in the world. The company thenrose aud adjourned.

The advocates of the free coinage ofsilver who aro so fond of quoting thoexample of Franco as a bimetallic coun-try should not object to the adoption ofthe policy of France in regard to silver. '

Franco .has not coined a legal-tend- er

live-fra- nc piece out of new bullion foryears. France has not had its mintsopen for the free coinage of silverbullion for many moro years. It has allthe silver that its people need. Thevaults of the Bank of France are as fullof silver as are those of the UnitedStates treasury. Tho silver coin is usedat its bullion value as a basis for papnrmoney. Are the free-coina- ge peoplewilling that the United States shallcease tho purchase of silver bullion,

(

coin that it now owns, and tiien pursuetho policy of France? That would giveus about as much silver as France has.and by adopting the policy of that coun-

try it could be carried for domestiotraflio on a gold basis.

Hon. Chaunckt M. DnrKW, who is en-thusias- tio

in praise of tho world's fair,m tikes a suggestion in regard to its pos-

sible etJect on the financial . situationwhich is worth thinking about, fie says:

There will bo in Chicago during the next fourmonths at least 200,000 persons eauh day spend-ing not less than $5 apiece per dlein. The aver-age will be much higher. This represent only ex-penses there. To that must ho added the moneyspent tn preparation for comine and upon trans-portation. This will urine out of hiding pi aces, andold fetoeklnK. aud afety-dpos- it vaults vastsums which will be put in active circulation, thobenefit of which will bo felt throughout theland. 8o far, only the people within a radius ofa few hundred miles have visited Chicago. ThoseIn the diMaDce have been the pa Avengers on tholimited trains. But as the knowledge of whatthero is hero and a comprehension of what willbe their misfortune to miss it roea through thocountry there will be a movement unprecedent-ed in our hiatory toward Chicago. Lvery one

.who haf, or who can bec or borrow, enoughmoney to git here and back homo again is com-ing, and as soon aa this demand becomes evidentthe railroad companies will meet it by cheaperservice.

These are the viows of a shrewd andpractical man, and they do not seem un-

reasonable.

Tho Rev. Dr. Rondthaler, of this city,in a sermon against Sunday opening ofthe world's fair, dwelt with strong em-

phasis on the point that it was an open-ing wedge to the entire abolition of Sun-day as a day of rest. This part of hisargument dealt rather with the hygieniothan with the moral or religious aspectof tho question, and was based on thowell-recogniz- ed principle that all men,and especially all workingmen, shouldrest from labor one day in seven. Ofthe general roundness of this positionthere can be no doubt. Irrespective ofthe moral or religious aspects of thocase, there can be no question that menlive longer and do moro and betterwork for taking at least as much as oneday of rest in seven. When revolution-ary Franco tried to abolish the ChristianSunday by substituting one day of restin ten, physiologists found it was notsufficient. Tho . priuciplo of Sundayobservance, that is, of observing onoday in seven as a day of rest, isas wise and as deep-roote- d as any otherfeature of the Mosaic code, and oughtto be observed more strictly than it is.Unfortunately, the conditions and exi-

gencies of modern life are such thatthis, like many other sound hygienicprinciples, cannot be universally ob-

served, bnt the duty of adhering to it asclosely as possible should never bo lotsight of.

Dr. Rondthaler thinks tho opening ofthe world's fair on Sunday is a decidedstep in the direction of doing away withSunday as a day of rest. "If I wero alaboring man," ho says, "I would mostvehemently protest against an openSunday at the exposition on the groundthat it would most surely bring me ulti-mately into tho slavery of an open Suu-da- y

in my own department of work."The Doctor should have said if ho werea laboring man with his present viewshe would most vehemently protest, etc.It is evident, however, that working-me- n

generally and labornnions through-out the country, which are officered byvery intelligent men, do not regard thomatter in that light. They, as every-body knows, are exceedingly jealous ofany encroachment on any of theirrights, including the right to one day ofrest in seven, and if they saw any 6iichencroachment, or oven a rcmoto sug-

gestion of it, in Sunday open-ing of tho fair they would bovery quick to oppose it. But Dr.Rondthaler says tho workiugmcn whofavor Sunday opening nre entirelyselfish. They do not care how muchSunday work they put on others so theyhave a day of rest and recreation them-selves. 'Tor that privilege," says theDoctor, "they deprive thousands oftheir fellow-workm- en of the first-da- y

rest which tho laws of the land grantthem. Tho cry of a multitude of rail-

road operatives from the ono hundredroads centering in Chicago has gone uppleading for one day in seven for re6t."Speaking after the manner of men, wedo not think this argument will holdwater. The Journal believes there ismuch more Sunday work done by Amer-ican railroads than is necessary, andthat it might be greatly lessened with-out detriment to vthe roads and to thedecided benefit of their employes, butit dots not believe that Sunday openingor closing of tho lair will have any
