MEMORIAL Day was observed in Forrest
ILL.,, with peculiar ceremony. A Lincoln
rail was borne up the main aisle ofthe church
by four men over eighty years of age and de-
posted on the altar. With it was a paper
certifying it to be one Of 10000 rails made
by Abraham Lincoln in 1880. In 1860 the
rail was sent to a prominent Republican in
Kentucky. An attempt was made by the
shareholders to mob bin and to obtain pos
session Of the relic. The determined attitude
of his friends frightened them away, how
ever. The rail remained in Kentucky al +,
through the war and was taken back to I'LL :

admirers, who looked upon its fragments
much as a devout Catholic looks upon
splinter from the true cross.

JUDGE KELLEY of Pennsylvania told the
Republican Congressional caucus Monday
evening that it was time for the Republican
party organization to disband and become
entirely matter of history. And the pig
iron chieftain's reason for this sudden break
ing up of the family, is that Congress has
stubbornly refused to adopt his financial
scheme, and this fact indicated the necessity
OF the organization of new parties with new
issues. Mr.. Karson of Iowa replied with
much eloquence that there were issues
enough aside from the financial question to
commend the party to the confidence of the
people. All the speakers took the same view
ana the usual congressional committee viii
Z DC appointed. 1t is bad year for Kelley and
the centennial subsidy people.
