trials and hardships of the camp and the
battlefield, on whichever side he may
have fought. No class of people are more
interested in guarding against a recur-
renee of those days. Let us, then, begin
by guarding against every enemy to the
prosperity Of free republican institutions.
81 do not bring into this assemblage
politics, certainly not partisan politics,
but it is fair subject for the soldiers in
their deliberations to consider what may
be necessary to secure the prize for which
they battled. In Republic like ours,
where the citizen is the sovereign and the
official the servant, where no power is eX-
ercised except by the will of the people, it
is important that the sovereign people
should foster education and promote that
intelligence which is to preserve us as a
free nation. If we are to have another
contest in the near future of our national
existence predict that the dividing line
will not be Mason and Dixon's, but be-
tween patriotism and intelligence on the
one side and superstition, ambition and
ignorance on the other.
"Now, the centennial year of our ma
tional existence, believe is a good time
to begin the work of strengthening the
foundations of the structure commenced
by our patriotic forefathers 100 years
ago at Lexington. Let us all labor
to add all needful guarantees for the
greater security of free thought, free
speech, a free press, pure morals, unfet.
tered religious sentiments, and of equal
rights and privileges to all men, prospect
i've of nationality, color or religion; en-
courage free schools and resolve that not
one dollar of money appropriated to their
support shall be appropriated to the sup
port of any sectarian school; resolve that
neither the State nor the nation, nor both
combined, shall support institutions Of
learning other than those sufficient to af-
ford to every child growing up in the land
the opportunity of a good common school
education, unmixed with sectarian, pagan,
or atheistical. Leave the matter of relig-
ion to the family altar, the church, and the
private school supported entirely by pri-
vate contributions, and keep the church
and the State forever separate. With these
safeguards I believe the battles which
created the Army of the Tennessee will
not have been fought in vain"

Grants Recent Speech.

AT the recent meeting at Des Moines,
Iowa, of the Society of the Army of the
Tennessee, loud calls were made for Presi-
dent Grant After a few humorous re-
marks in reference to the calls for himself
and Gen. Sherman, in which he said it
had been customary at the reunions of
this army to call upon him just because he
always made the shortest speech, the Pres
ident said he had concluded to disappolnt
them this time, and he had, therefore, jot-
ted down what he wished to say, when he
read as follows:
CoMRADEs-It always affords me
much qualification tomeetmy comrades in
arms of ten and fourteen years ago, to tell
ever again the trials and hardships OF
those days-hardships imposed for the
preservation and perpetuation of our free
institutions. We believed then, and we
believe now, that we have Government
worth fighting for and, if need be, dying
for. How many of our comrades
paid the latter price for our pre-
served Union! Let their heroism
and sacrifice be ever green in our mem
ory; let not the results of their sacri-
flee be destroyed. The Union and the
free institutions for which they fell should
be held more dear for their sacrifices.
We will not deny to any of those who
fought against us any privilege under the
Government which we claim for our
selves. On the contrary, we welcome all
such who come forward in good faith to
help build up.the waste places and to per
petuate our institutions against all enc
mics as brothers in full interest with us
in a common heritage; but we are not
prepared to apologize for the part we took
in the war. 1t is to be hoped that the
like trials will never again befall our
country. In their settlement no class of
people can more heartily join than the
soldier who submitted to the dangers,

AT EYENING-TIM

ALL day the silent snow fell down
Upon the meadows bare AID brown;
But ceased at evening, and the skies
Grew bright with sunsets mingled dyes.
All day we watched our dying child
With grief suppressed-to break out wild
When she, removed from hopes and fears,
Could not be tortured by our tears.
But when the sudden radiant glow
Purpled the whiteness of the snow,
And shone serene upon our dead,
Our grieving souls were comforted.
We crossed her hands upon her breast,
And kissed her in her dreanlless rest;
And Gods voice whispered through the night
I" at euenissg-time 1t shall be 1ight.n

Kick HIM WHEN MES DOWN
BY j. W. u.

When the sun OF prosperity Is shining,
And mans growing rich every day;
When in ease and comfort reclining,
And golden success crowns his way,
How friends will then flock about him!
But II Fortune should happen tofrown
How quickly he'll get the "cold shoulder"
And be "kicked because he is down."
How kindly the world will smile on himr
When life with success aboundi
How dially-blandly-'twill greet him
AS in pleasure he's riding aroundi
But then let reverses o'ertake him,
And friends, both in country and town,
Have not a kind word with to cheer him
But all kick him as soon as he's d0wni
Let him get positionor wealth.
(Matters not by intrigue or by fraud
The world mods approvlngly ut him,
And his acts 1t will loudly applaud;
What though he may be a great villain,
With the simple, the wise and the clown,
While he's up he 5 "tip-top, fellow
But they'lrkick him II he ever gets down |
When man has plenty of ".greenbacks."
He's counted a "bully good chum," then,
And the crowd approves all he may say;
But just let him loose his treasures
Perchance that his wealth may be gone
He'll get to be nobody quickly,
And be sure to be Kicked when he's down
What's the use of being moral or honest,
Or strive to be upright and true,
r0r unless mans got "lOts of money"
The worlds bound to put him right through.
They'll "go for him." certain and surely
from the Jockey to the priest in his gown
And III will stand ready to snub him.
And "kick him because he 10 down."

TIE EXTENT. OF THE sUFFERING-sOME
OF THE MEN WHO APPLY FOR AID
| WEALTHY BEGGARS-FARMERs
RESPONSIBLE FOR MUCH
OF THE SUFFERING.
A well informed gentleman, for
mer Delawarean now residing in North-
western Kansas, writes to the GAZETTE
as follows, concerning the "grasshop
per sufferers" of that State:
am right here among the needy
sufferers OF Kansas, and l know from
personal observation, that many men
who receive the aid which is sent from
the East, would be able to keep them.
selves from starvation had they the
pride and industry.
have seen men applying for aid
who were in monthly receipt of sums
| of money from the east. This money
is due them ON acceunt,of their farms
which they sold before coming out
| here. These very men can be seen
daily asking for aid. One man in par
ticular, who had three thousand dol
lars out at interest and owned property
right here worth four or five thousand
dollars, has been making application
for aid.
1t is too true that some families are
destitute, very destitute, and really
need aid. But they are not getting
their just portion of aid, on account
of the roguishnGss of the hounds have
just been telling you about.
Very recently the government dona-
ted four days rations to the destitute
people of the northwestern counties of
Kansas, and such rushing for aid you
never saw
nave heard men argue the matter
thusly: ''Well, 1 don't know but that
| might as well put in for aid, don't
need 1t but might as we'll have it as
some one else. Uncle Sam is giving it
and If there are any taxes to pay L will
nave to shell out as much as those who
get the aid"
am strongly of the opinion that
very few farmers would have needed
aid had it not been for their own mis-
management or rather carelessness.-
Men came out here last Spring with
some eight or nine hundred dollars,
bought claim fol, about three hundred
teams Tor two hundred and fifty and
then laid around until the remainder
OF their money was all spent. before
they tried to do any work. They loaf
ed in town around the saloons, until
1t was too late to put in crop. If they
planted anything at all it was only corn
in the sod, which they left to grow up
and kill the weeds. Had they put in
small spring grains, they would have
suffered far less, for the grasshoppers
did not disturb the small grains only
the corn. DELAwAREAN

CHARACTERISTIC SPEECH by Ex-
GOVERNOR WIsE.-At the John Nit
chel memorial meeting, held in Rich
mond, Va, on Thursday evening last,
Ex-Governor Henry A. Wise was one
OF the speakers. He said he had had
no opportunity to prepare set speech,
and he needed none on such an occa-
sion. He was half Scotch and half
English, but in the very blood of his
heart he was an Irishman. He knew
John Mitchell well, and he sympathiz-
ed with him because he was an unre-
constructed rebel, as he was. He allu-
ded to the many obstacles with which
Mitchell had to contend, and how he
battled bravely with them all. Since
the term "felon" had been applied to
John Mitchell it was the highest word
on the roll of honor. Hewould consider
it more honor to bear the name felon,
as bestowed on Mitchell, than Disrali's
title of premier.

AN EJEcTMENT SUIT IN WHICH OVER A MIL
LION DOLLARS Is INVOLVED.

The important ejectment suit to re-
cover lands at Laurel Hill, near Long
Island City, was decided yesterday II
Hampstead, before Judge Tappen, N
1904 Thomas Belts, who owned farm Of
100 acres near what is known as the Pen
ny Bridge, in Newtown township, died.
His will stipulated that his farm was to
be left to his wife and his heirs by him.
In case there was no issue, the farm, at
her death, was to go to the children of
his two sisters. Mr.. Belts died without
children, and in 1906 Mr.. Waters took
possession of the farm as executor and
sold 1T to John Allsop, paying off loan
| mortgage OF 81 500 which had been put
on the farm by Mr.. Belts, and giving a
bond and mortgage for $2,100 to the
guardian Of the heirs. Then Allsop con
veyed the farm back to Waters for a
nominal sum. In 1855 Waters sold the
| farm for $68, 900 to Augustus Van Mater,
who, in 1868, sold it to the defendant.
Augustus Rapelyea.
Mr.. Rapelyea improved the place, and
afterwards sold about sixty lots from it,
on which many valuable houses have
been built. In 1872 Belts descendants
sued the owners of the property to re-
cover it on the grounds that Waters had
obtained possession fraudulently. and
that his title was not good.
There were between fifty and sixty
suits, and the cause effPartridge and
others against Rapelyea was test case.
The defendants averred that the title of
Waters was good, as he had given bond
and mortgageto the heirs. But they relied
particularly on the statute of limitation,
urging that they had been in quiet pos
session seventy-six years.
The Judge in charging the jury said
that the suit was begun too late, the
plaintiffs having slept upon their
rights SO long, could not now legally sue,
and he instructed the jury to return
verdict for the defense. The property is
worth more than million.
