e To-day is the one which has come
to be set apart in each year to show our
remembrance of the dead of the armies
which fought to establish and preserve
our national life. All over the land
their graves, whether conspicuous with
proud monument, OF unmarked save
by the sad memories of humble mourn
ers, are to-day made eloquent with the
lair floral mementoes which attest the
resting-places of heroes. We do well
to observe this day. Our life is too
barren of the incentives to patriotic
thought, we are too far removed from
the strifes and cares, the struggles and
warfare, which make the love of soun-
try and of liberty all ever present pas
sion; we are too apt to forget that the
free institutions and the glorious land
which we enjoy are ours only as we
maintain our rights in them. The lives
and deaths of the men commemorated
by Decoration Day prove that our coun-
try is the care and thought OF enough
heroic hearts ever to uphold her free
dom and glory, whenever the time of
danger comes; they also prove that we
are not renewed beyond the need OF
vigilance. They had country to live
for; 80 have we. AT the danger call
they sprang to maintain her unity and
glory; so must we be prepared to do,
or we are unworthy of the sacrifice
which they made, and they died in vain
We cannot forget them as friends, as
relatives; let us also remember them as
fellow couEtrymen and as patriots, for
the lesson and example which thew
should be to us. These men endured
the separation from home and friends,
they bore the toilsome march under
blazing sun or furious storm; they en-
countered the leaden hail of battle. and
perhaps sweltered amid the stagation
and torture of the prison pen; but,
whether by toll, disease, or the bullet.
they died for their country and for us.
Yet, though we mourn for the absent
ones, though our hearts are wrung al
the cruel deaths they died, though we
feel that our country could lily spare
from the work of her development and
advancement the brave souls who
saved her, nevertheless from their own
standpoint there is little cause of grief.
We must all die; and happy and honor
able above others are they who die the
death of heroes, fighting for the right.
But for our own sakes let us observe
this day, and as the floral tributes to the
fallen are laid upon their mounds, let
us pray that we, like them, may ever
keep alive the fire of patriotism in our
hearts.

IThe issue between the Democrat.
ic majority in Congress and the presi-
dent cannot be too clearly apprehend-
ed. There are United States laws en-
acted by Congress at various periods
in the history of the Countrywide pur-
pose of which is to protect he purity of
Federal elections. There is no charge
by any one that these laws have ever
worked injustice to single voter.
They have repressed injustice by put
ting stop to repeating, false counting,
and voting on fraudulent naturaliza-
ton papers in certain of the large cit
les Of the North. The laws regulating
the use of the army now make it the
presidents duty in certain cases to use
troops in reprossing disorders when
called upon by United States marshals.
These laws the Democrats have deter
mined to repeal. Their reasons for so
doing arc sufficiently obvious. They
want to deprive the marshals of the
profession and use of the army IN A.
cordanee with the law, in order that
the federal elections in the South NAV
be delivered completely into the hands
ofthe white leagues and shotgun clubs.
In the North they wish to abolish all
federal supervision of the federal cleo
tons, or as they say 'make them free. y
The object striven for is, of course. 10
render it easy and safe TO commit any
kind offrauds in the cities which will
enable them to count up majorities for
themselves without let or hindrance.
The whole scheme is simply danger
GUS conspiracy to seize upon the gov
eminent in 1880. The re-districting of
the states which will follow the census
of 1880, will, they know, destroy their
majority in Congress, and are ready
to resort to desperate measures now to
grasp control of the country, in time
SO that they may by equally desperate
measures, and by usurping the rights
OF the Northern states, retain their con-
troll. Therefore they make the repeal
OF the federal election laws a condi-
ton before passing the necessary ap-
preparation bills to carry on the gov.
eminent
They, as majority of Congress,
have an undoubted right to put all
the riders they please on an appropria-
ton bfil The president has an equal con-
stitutional right 10 veto the bills contain
ing the riders. The only constitutional
way In which Democrats can immediate
ly secure their ends is to pass the bills
over the presidents veto in both houses
OF Congress by two-thirds majority.
They have not two-thirds majority in
either house, and therefore they cannot
secure their ends in q constitutional
way. The constitution expressly SAYS
that Congress shall make the necessary
appropriations to carry on the govern !

PIEATiCAL NEws.--Brother Tobin OF
the Swanton Courier rams afoul of one
of his neighbors i'm this wise:
The most lawless newspaper in the
state is the st. Adams Advertiser.
The skull and cross-bones should APP
pear with tho head line of that paper
and black flag should wave from the
sanctum window. 1t is great publ
cation and every Tuesday we gaze upon
it with pride, bristling with "cable-
grams" especial kilograms" and
"little locals" clipped from the Courier
of the previous Saturday. The readers
of the Advertiser little know at what
great exertion Gin muscle) and expense
lin shears) is weekly expended on that
sheet that "items of interest to dwell
lers in and around st. Albans," may be
furnished. 1t is wonder these "orig-
inal' items don't get in under especial
by cable to the Advertiser" sometimes.
The enterprise is all the more noticea-
BILE as there is so much cardinal red tape
about the concern, so many editors lay
ing around loose, so many eagle-eyed
reporters "lallygaging" about, so much
tone, SO many Western Union lines and
Atlantic cables and the deuce knows
what. Last week "we" of the Courier
got excused from "deviling" for an
hour, washed off some of the ink and
went down to look over the new break
water, got few items, returned, wrote
them up and drifted back to "deviling"
again. The paper appeared Saturday
with an unpretending description of the
works. The very next
Tuesday the Advertiser appeared as
cheeky and enterprising as ever, with
our item under glazing heading. We
read it and felt so ashamed that we sunk
deeper than ever into "deviling." The
Messenger clips the same article from
he Courier, together with several 9TH
,rs and credits. But then, the Messen-
ger is a one "hoss' affair and doesn't
nave any cablegrams.
