and as they passed down the column OF
troops. the old battle emblems for which so
many had gone to their death, were dipped
in honor OF the President OF the United
States. In the afternoon, he addressed b is
old regiment at the City Hall, touching,
tender words. He could mot, and did not
restrain his emotion when he said, Il loved
you when l WAS with you, and love YOU
still" In the evening, the President gave
a reception at which he bade warm well
come to the soldiers, foes no longer, of both
North and South. So ended an occasion,
the like of which must aid more than We
can tell, to form from a divided people, a
nation whose hearts shall throb as one.

To Independent Voters.

THERE'S but four weeks until the day Of
election, and it is important that those who
favor the Independent movement should be
on the alert and labor for the cause. Meet
ings should be held and clubs organized.
The cause is worthy of much honest effort.
The paatizan hacks will .be round. They
turn out, just before the election, in two
horse buggies, the expenses of which rigs"
are paid by salaried officials, and they
draw the amount from the tax payers. 1t
is otherwise with the independent move
ment. Those who may be able to talk TO
you will have to hear their own expenses.
They will talk to you not as the hirelings
of party, but as patriots. Appeals may be
made to you in behalf of the party you
have supported. But looking at the con-
di:ion Of the country dnd the states of the
parties, every farmer and all workingmen of
every trade and employment, should this
yenr listen to no party appeals. Each Of
the old partses propose to do right, but the
power which they WELD is go concentrated
in the hands of a few that the oppressors
who wrong you ond oppress you will hold
sway if money can secure it. For once
throw off the shsckles that have controlled
you and thwarthed your ballot, and vote SO
as to convince partizans that they cannot
depend on your suffrage that they cannot
"handle" you, as the trader says,--but that
you are henceforth independent of their
Establishments, and their commands

TO BE REGRETTED.

No man in his right mind can
read of the railroad strike and the
destruction of property in the North
and West without sincere regret that
such things should have occurred.
The loss entailed will be seriously
and severely felt on all sides, says
the Savannah News, bu, in the end
will be found to fall with greater
force upon the workingmen than
upon the companies. Il may be
readily understood how 10 these hard
times, the men felt bitter over the
prospect Of having their hard earn
ed wages reduced, but they have
taken poor way to remedy the evil.
The losses entailed enE roads will
almost impoverish them, and will
probably force them TO even still
greater reductions in wages, siace
they will be put to such enormous
expense to repair the damage in
flieted, while also they will be COM
PEELED to employ as few hands as
possible. Thus it will turn out that
the condition of those who have tax
en- these extreme steps, will be made
worse, and their sufferings hereafter
much increased.
