Governor Bill Delivered the Oratlon and
Paid a High Tritmmto the Charac-
ter and Genius of the Dem] Ed-
itor—A Holiday in Atlanta.
ATLANTA, Oct. 22. ~—The monument
erected in memory of Henry \V. Grady,
On one of the principal streets of Atlanta,
was unveiled in the presence of the gover-
nor of New York. the governor of Georgia,
and a large assemblage of southern people,
and Atlanta felt as though the nation’s
sympathies were with her people in honor-
log the distinguished dead.
A local committee headed by the presi-
dent. of the Grady'Monument association,
M r. Northen, escorted Governor H111 to
the state capitol, where Governor Northen
received him. Mrs. Grady, with her son
and daughter, were in waiting in the
governor’s room with the members of the
Grady monument committee. -
Governor Hill was then escorted to a
carriage drawn by four White horses
which stood at the foot of the capitol
steps. He was accompanied by Governor
Northen, Mr. Northen and Clark Howell,
who succeeded Henry Grady as managing
editor of the Atlanta Constitution. Mrs.
Grady and her children were escorted to
another carriage, and the distinguished
visitors from New York were distributed
with members Of the monument commit-
tee in the carriages following, When the
guests had taken their places in the car-
riages the procession started.
i.~~'
THE GRADY MONUMENT.
Marsh :11 Calhoun rode at the head of the
column,with ten aids, five from the Fourth
Georgia battalion, in full uniform, and
five in civilian dress, with gray sashes and
leggings. The procession was in six divi-
sions, under command, respectively, of
Lieutenant A. P. Woodward, Lieutenant
Robert Dohmc, Colonel L. P. Thomas,
Captain R. A. Brayle, Colonel Albert
Howell and Lieutenant John L. Beattie.
Mayor Hcinphill had declared the day a
holiday, and almost all the stores along
the line of march were closed, while the
sidewalks were thronged with citizens
and visitors. There were comparatively
few decorations on the buildings. The
procession passed through the principal
streets of the city—Mitchell to Whitehall,
to Alabama, to Lloyd, to Decatur, to
Pryor, to Peuchtvree, to Marietta and down
Marietta street to the statue.
Governor Northen, Governor Hill and
the other guests, with the members of the
monument committee, took seats on the
stand. Governor Hill was greeted with
loud applause by the crowd which had as-
sembled about the monument, and which
filled Marietta. street in both directions.
President Northen called the assemblage
to order, and Miss Gussie Grady, the only
Henry Grady, then stepped
forward and drew the cord which held the
canvas in place about the figure on the
monument. The cloth slipped from the
statue, leaving the bronze figure revealed.
It was greeted with cheer after cheer by
the great assembly. When the noise had
in part: subsided, Rev. J. W. Lee delivered
the invocirion.
At its conclusion Hon. Clark Howell
stepped to the front of the platform to in-
troduce the orator of the occasion, David
1 B. Hill, governor of New York. Governor
Hill receive 2 a most enthusiastic greeting
from the :ie~c-rzzl:lrigc. He said:
Our rnul‘ Hill’s Speech.
This is an unaccustomed spectacle. The
Scene which v.0 are now witnessing scarcely
finds a parallel in all the history of the world.
It is an occurrence upon which the earnest at-
tention of the whole American people is riveted
at this hour because of its peculiar significance.
Not to the memory of a great soldier or a
famous statesman is this statue unveiled to-
day. but too. plain citizen of the republic—a
“journalist, orator, patriot.“ To commemo-
rate the mark he made, the prizes he won in a
high calling. there needs no eulogy from me.
His acquirements, his gifts, his genius, the out-
lines Of his manly character are best known to
you among whom he lived and did his work,
until for him—too soon, alas l—the night came,
which ends all our brief days and work. Yet
beside this tomb, before this silent token of a
nation‘s'mingled grief and homage, no greater
tribute could I pay to Henry W. Grady’s mem-
ory than to repeat the story of his brave life.
Governor Hill then told an eloquent
story of the dead editor’s life, paying a high
tribute to his speech on the New South at
the New England society’s dinner, and
concluded thus:
When upon. the solid foundations of success
which you and he have built, the complete
structure of a glorious statehood shall be reared
by your posterity, jealously may those future
generations preserve the memory of that young
Georgian and point with vcneration to' this no
ble statue, repeating softly and reverently the
words of this inscription, “Heflry W. Grady,
journalist, orator, patriot.” And when from
distant states and a colder clime strangers shall
walk through the streets of your beautiful city
and gaze upon this memorial of your love and
pride, afiectionately may they recall the life
work of this beloved southerner and reverently
carry away with them as an inspiring and pa-
triotic memory the touching tribute which you
have inscribed in these letters of stone, that
“when he died he was literally loving a nation
into peace.“ -
A nation in peace! . A broad land disturbed
by no civil dimensions, threatened by no for
eign enemy! A people united and homogene-
ous, prosperous and happy! No trace of con-
flict, no bitter memory, no questioned loyaltyl
That people. wr l'killg out together the grand
destiny cf :2 -.-on ion country, will ever held in
grateful rein-c: J.‘Z.DCO the life and public serv-
ice of Henry W. Grady.
The izccui-ations Changed.
Among the ‘(lecorntions on the stand
about the firmly monument in the morn-
ing were “tires of J cil‘erson Davis, Lee
and Stonewall .3 tickson. They were or-
dered by the 1:2. :‘ziELee to be taken down
before the exercises took place. The only
decorations on the stand were the national
c: lors. '
THE ‘ PRESIDENT 0N TIN PLATE.
He Acknowledges a Gift and Gives 1113
Views on the Question.
MCKEESI’C-R'E‘, Pa, Oct. 22.—W. C. Crone-
meyer, man a 2, r of the United States Iron
and Tin Plate works of Deminler, Pa., a.
suburb of McKeespOi-t, who shipped a box
of tin manufactured in that place to Presi-
dent Harrison, has just received the fol-
lowing letter from the chief executive in
which the latter expressed his views on
the tin plate question.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.
W. C. Croncmeycr, Esq, Demmler, Pa:
' MY DEAR Sin—I have your letter and also a
box Of bright tin plate which you send as a.
specimen of the product being turned out by
the United States Iron and Tin Plate company.
I have no skill in determining the character of
this work, but to the eye it seems to be emi-
nently satisfactory, and I thank you for this
evidence that a new industry has been estab-
lished in the United States.
I cannot understand how any American can
doubt that we have mechanical skill and busi-
ness sagacity to establish and successfully man~
ufacture tin plate. N 0 other country certainly
surpasses us in the inventive genius of its citi-
zens or in the business sagacity of its capital-
ists. It is surprising to me that any patriotic
American should approach this question with a
desire to see this great and interesting experi-
ment fail, or with an unwillingness to accept
the evidences of its success. It will be a. great
step in the direction of commercial independ-
ence when we produce our own tin plate.
'It seems to me that nothing, unless it be a
lack of faith in the maintenance of the present
law, can thwart this desirable achievement. I
can understand how our success should be
doubted and our failure accepted with satisfac-
tion in \Vales, but I cannot understand how any
American can take that view of the question, or
why he should always approach every evidence
of the successful establishment of this industry
in this country with a disposition to discredit
and reject it. If the great experiment is to
fail, our own people should not add to the mor-
tification of failure the crime of rejoicing in it.
Very truly yours, BENJ. HAN RISON.
JONES ACTING AS GOVERNOR.
He “’on’t Say, Though, Whether He’ll
Make Appointments or Not.
NEW YORK, Oct: 22.——Lieutenant Gov-
ernor Edward F. Jones will act as gov-
ernor of New York during the absence of
Governor Hill, who is in Atlanta. Gov-
ernor Hill is not expected to return to
New York before Friday night or Satur-
day morning.
Acting Governor Jones is still confined
to a dark room at the Park Avenue hotel
on account of his eyes, and could not be
seen. A note was sent up to his room
asking,r him if it was true that he intended
to act as governor While Governor Hill
was away, and if he would say anything
about the appointments he intended to
make. In a short time he sent back the
following \l'l'lttell reply:
The constitution of the state of New
York provides that in the absence from
the state of the governor, his powers and
duties shall devolve upon the lieutenant
governor. I will exercise the functions of
the office to such extent as the public good
may require. I have nothing to say for
publication regarding specific intentions.
‘hooting on the Dean Richmond.
ALBANY, Oct. fol—Richard Quinn made
two deliberate attempts to shoot Charles
F. Chamberlain, of Marcy avenue, Brook-
lyn, while aboard the Dean Richmond
bound for Albany. The two boarded the
boat together, and after Chamberlain had
promised to secure Quinn employment in
this city, the couple had several drinks to-
gether.
Then Quinn pulled a five shooter on
Chamber-tin, and chasing him through the
boat fired two shots at him, and was in the
act Of placing the pistol at Chamberlin’s
breast when he was arrested. Chamber-
lin, luckily, escaped injury. Besides at-
tempting murder, Captain ,Manville, of
the Richmond, says he has no doubt that
Quinn robbed a drummer, who was a pas-
senger, of a valise containing over $6,000
worth of diamonds belonging to a. New
York house.
The Deitication Postponed.
GETTYSBURG, Oct. 22.——The monument
recently erected by the states of Maine,
Vermont, Massachusatts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Del-
aware, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and
Minnesota (designed and superintended by
Colonel Bachelder, government historian
of Gettysburg) at the “high water mark
of the rebellion” on Cemetery Ridge,
where Longstreet’s assault was repulsed
by troops of those states on July 3, 1863,
was to have been dedicated on the 19th of
November, the twentieth anniversary of
the dedication of the National cemetery,
but in consequence of the liability of cold
or stormy weather at that late season, the
dedication has been postponed until early
next summer, of which due notice will be
given.
The Pope May Leave Rome.
ROME, Oct. 22.-—-Since the French pilgrim
incident the pope has presided at six meet-
in gs of cardinals. Long and animated de-
bate occurred on the questions, whether
the holy father should leave Rome and
whether steps should be taken to establish
a modus viveudi with the Quirinal. The
various matters are still left undecided.
;:,. The pope has been assured by the Ital-
ian government that nothing should oc-
cur to disturb the tranquillity of the holy
see, but that it must be understood that
there was no intention to modify the law
of guarantee.
Stop Your Kissing.
BERLIN, .Oct’. 22.—A physician of this
city writes that twenty-two difierent spe-
cies of bacteria find a lodgment in the hu-
man mouth. Kissing, he pronounced to
be a habit of untold danger, which should
be abandoned. If, however, the human
family entire cannot be persuaded to re-
form in respect to osculation, the writer
suggests the use of respirators by those
who persist in the error of their ways.
Fire and Explosions.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 22.—Fire in a large
four story building at the corner of Center
and ‘Vinslow streets, entailed a loss of
$100,000. The upper floor was occupied by
the Oxidized Acid company, and acids de-
posited in big tanks caused a series of ter-
rific explosions, and scattered bricks,
stones and timbers in all directions. Sev-
eral firemen narrowly escaped being fa-
tally injured by the flying missiles.
Shot by Mexican Brigands.
MONTEREY, Mexico, Oct. 22.—Francisco
Flores, a stock raiser in the Poncitian dis-
trict, state of Jalisco, who was made a.
prisoner about two weeks ago by a band
of brigands under the command of the
brothers J nwuquai, and whose ransom of
$2,000 was refused by the Flores family,
has been shot by the bandits.
Preferred Death to Blindness.
ITHACA, N. Y., Oct. 22.—Mrs. Freeman,
aged sixty-two, wife of Lyman Freeman,
of Etna, committed suicide by hanging
herself to a lllIlEA' in the garret of her
house. She was threatened with blind-
ness, and despoticlency on that account
led to her death.

iii/hit Using C
Commander of the Army Schofield
Makes iii: Annual Report.
THE REFORMS SUGGESTED.
Chief Among the Changes Recommended
Is the Reorganization of the Infantry
and Artillery—National Defenses
and Gun Construction.
WASHINGTON, Oct. fez—Major General
J. M. Schofield, commanding general of
the army, has submitted to the secretary
of war his report Of the Operations of the
army during the past year. General Scho‘
field says that valuable experience has
been gained in the campaign with the
Sioux Indians last winter. If it were true,
he says, that the Sioux meditated a general
uprisingnnd their plans had matured, it
would have been impossible for the troops
then at the Sioux reservation to have pre-
vented agreat loss of life and property,
while if the uprising was to have em-
braced other warlike tribes, in different
partslof the country, the entire military
force of the United States would have
been inadequate to prevent great damage.
But Whatever the plans of the Sioux In-
dians were, they were surrounded by an
effective cordon of troops before they were
ready for action, and the report recom-
meiids an addition of a few thousand en-
listed men to be stationed near the great
reservations to remove the danger of upris-
ings among the Indians and the expense
of transportation of troops from distant
parts of the country. The aggregate
strength of the military force in time of
peace should, he says, be such as to make it
most cflfective and at the same time capa— 2
ble of most ready expansion whenever an
increase is decided upon.
National Defenses.
General Schofield says the important
question of national defense is regarded as
settled by the wise policy inaugurated by
the last two legislative actions Of con-
gress, and that it will doubtless be pur-
sued until thc great seacoast harbors are
placed in condition to resist any attack
from a foreign enemy.
Concerning gun construction, the report
says satisfactory progress has been made
in theconstruction of the gun factory at
VVatervliet, N. Y., in the manufacture of
type guns of the highest qualities and in
the manufacture of service mortars and
their emplacement at the most exposed
and important positions upon the sea.-
coast. while contracts have been made for
the material necessary for the construc-
tion of large numbers of guns and mor-
tars and for the purchase of completed
guns of the highest type.
It will only require moderate annual ap-
propriations for the ‘next few years to
place the extended seacoast of this coun-
try in such condition that no foreign
enemy could inflict upon it any serious
loss or damage. \Vhen this is accomplish-
ed the dignified and just policy which this
country has adopted toward all foreign
nations may be steadily adhered to with-
out apprehension of results unfavorable
either to the welfare or to the honor of
this country.
The artillery school at Fort Monroe
maintains a. high state of efficiency. The
infantry and cavalry school at Fort Leav-
enworth has been steadily developed until
its condition approaches closely to the
ideal standard which has been set for it.
It is recommended that congress continue
to make a small annual appropriation for
the support of the infantry and cavalry
school at Fort Leavenworth, as well as for
the artillery school at Fort Monroe, so
that all the essential military schools may
have the direct recognition and support of
congress.
The Personnel of the Army.
During the year the practice of the in-
fantry and cavalry troops with the rifle,
carbine and revolver has been carried out
with the same zeal which has character-
ized this branch of instruction in preced-
ing years. Progress in light artillery and
seaconst artillery instruction continues to
be satisfactory, though it suffers from the
lack of modern material.
The personnel of the army has been
greatly benefited by the legislation of the
last congress. What remains most to be
desired, says the general, is the reorgani-
zation of the infantry and artillery, and a
reasonable increase in the compensation,
and consequent dignity, of the noncom-
missioned officers of the line.
In this country the diflference between
the lowest commissioned grade and the
highest noncommissibned has always
been too great. This disparity has been
made still more apparent in recent years
by the progress of general education, and
such improvements in the art of war and
the tactics of armies as have imposed
much more important duties and respon-
sibilities than formerly upon noncommis.
sioned Officers of the line. He recommends
that the pay of these noncommissioned
officers be increased, so as to equal those
