A Partial Failure.

The G.. a. r. soldiers reunion, in Chi
cago, last week, proved rather dull and
lifeless affair. 1t was participated in by
but few people outside Of this state. Only
two companies competed for the prize ban
ner. And the number 10 attendance was
quite small. Meeting lady at the Har-
per House, whose husband Ia leading Re-
publican politician and Office holder in a
neighboring county, attended the Chicago
G.. A. R. meeting, we asked: "How did
Col. - like the soldiers reunion?" 80,
he says it was not success. 1t is good
deal like Decoration Day-there is a sus-
picion that both are in some way connected
with politics, and both are dying out.
The lady rung the bell in that target. Il
was centre shot, and described the situa
ton exactly. The G,A.R.has been run by
Logan, Burnside & Goa small knot ofpes
tiferous political ire-pullers, and the people
have danced to their music. No soldier
however glorious his record, could be ad
vanced to any prominence in the G. A. B
if he held that the war was over. and thai
the north and south ought to be recon
ciled upon terms of equality and mutua
goodwill. 1t made no difference whethe
that soldier was Democrat or Republi
can, he must hate and persecute the sout
and keep alive the discord of sections. o
he was ostracised by the Radical Ring.
The decoration business has been run i
the same way. And men who think
time the war was ended and the countr
devoted to peace and friendship an
an effort to pay our debts and restore pros
perity throughout all the land, are gettin
heartily sick of G. A. R. reunions, an
decoration clap-trap, as heretofore mau
aged.

CORPORATION Taxes.

Agents of private corporations having
no foreign stockholders and therefore
could not bring injunctions iu the Federal
courts were interviewing Treasurer Porter,
to-day. They want the collection of their
taxes postponed until the cases from this
county now in the Federal court can be
decided. We see no reason why this
should not be done-or why the board o.
supervisors should not have granted Judge
Wilkinson's request to that effect. They
can create foreign stockholders and ther
got an injunction-and this we suppose
they will do.

peare makes one of his characters say, and
so would he say to the person who uses an
irritating, pungent application to a tender

the fire. The moral of this is, that it is
better in such cases to use an emollient,
oleagineous application, such as Burdsalrs
