SENATOR RDMUNDs ON REBEL
GT,ATREQ

In q recent number Of the Grand Rap
ids (Michigsn) Weekly Democrat, ap-
peared q review Of a recent speech of
Senator Edmunds. of Vermont. in which
the senator spoke strongly of the danger
of the allowance Ofrebel claims, amount
ing to millions of dollars, in the case of
Hancock's election. The democratic
article cited the fourth section Of the
XVIII amendment 10 the constitution
rs interpOsing an insuperable barrier 10
the payment OF rebel claims, and claimed
that Senator Edmunds delivered the
speech in question Well-knowing that
fact. The editor of tbs Mason (Mich
News cut out the article, enclosed il
with short letter TO Mr.. Edmunds, and
promptly received the following reply

the editor Of the Grand Rapids Demo
crat is not very hungry to find out ex-
actly what the 4th section OF the 14th
amendment covers in point OF law.
The rebel claims referred to are not
claims of rebels for aiding the rebellion,
but for property, amounting altogether
TO hundreds and probably thousands OF
millions, taken or destroyed by armies Of
the United States, and therefore the mo-
ment the test of loyalty of any claimant
is repealed the claim Of the rebel stands
exactly like the claim of any other citi-
zen against the government on account
of its action, and not on account OF the
action OF the rebel authorities.
The Democrats in congress have tried
time after time to repeal the distinction
in respect of claims Of loyal and disloy-
al persons. and they have bills now pend
ing in the senate TO effect that object
and they will effect 1t by solid or near

BY MOONLIGHT.

We understand that Col. Moonlight en-
deavored, in his Democratic speech at
the court house, Saturday night, to make
his hearers believe that 1t was the Dem
ocratic party that had suppressed the re-
bellion; that the nation was saved in
that struggle by the Democratic party.
We can remember when Thomas did not
think that way, and 1t is strange that he
can now get up before an intelligent
audience and make such ridiculous
statements. The Republicans OF Kansas
made Moonlight all he ever was, and it is
certainly not very greatly TO his credit to
appear before an audience and attempt
90 feed them upon such bArefaced and
ridiculous Misrepresentation.
We arc aware that the country owes n
great deal TO thousands Of what was
known as "War Democrats" for valiant
services In putting down the Democratic
rebellion, but that there is single item
of proof that the Democratic party, As a

THE LOVE THAT KNOWS NO FEAR.

mated by such a sarcastic appellation-

able to walk her helpless hands folded
in her lap, she must be dressed, carried
about, cared for like baby; suffering
from countless pains and aches day and
night, and cannot leave her for few
days. No one at Chautauqua will feel
the disappointments as we do, for
we had planned to go there together. If
she could go with me, would be glad
enough to creep to Chautauqua on my
knees. Her life has been a fountain Of
strength to me. In ten long years have
never seen the look of pain out of her eyes,
and for more than half so long / have
seen her sitting in patient helplesness
and have never heard a complaining
murmur from her lips while she has
served as those who only stand and wait
never questioning and never doubling
the wisdom and the goodness of the
Father, whose hand has been laid upon
her so heavily. The beautiful patience
Of her life has been a constant rebuke to
my own impotence, and in her suffer

faith that "knows no doubt"

AUTUMN TREATMENT OF SHEEP.

With the first frOsts some corn should
be fed, no matter how plentiful the sup
ply Of grass may be, and this gradually
increased until the desire for it seems
fully satisfied. If thus cautiously in
creased, and fed after the sheep have
been on the pasture several hours, the
most satisfactory results will follow the
feeding of corn in what may be consId-
cred liberal quantities, until q maximum
OF two and half or even three bushels
per day TO each hundred sheep has been
attained.
The necessity for this amount may
not exist, as straw and other fodder may
be had in greater or less supply; but the
average feeder is more apt to err on
the side of deficiency than by an over
supply. Shelter from the cold and driv-
ing rains of late fall and early winter is
almost as necessary as liberal feeding.
If circumstances do not warrant the con-
struction of permanent shelters, pretty
far substitutes may be had by thatching
with straw or cornstalks a temporary
frame of forks and poles, opening only
towards the south. Where even these
cannot be had some good will result
from placing the flock in a sheltered
valley or near a grove, where the under
growth of brush will furnish some pro-
lection, though poor it be, against the
chilling winds as they pierce through a
soggy fleece.
It is now that the successful flock mas
ter lays the foundation for his success
through the ensuing winter and spring.
A flock fairly started upon the threshold
of winter has passed more than half its
dangers. The strength gathered through
the milder months will enable il to en-
dure vicissitudes under which less favor
ed animals would succumb. The highest
profits will be found by those who feed
with an unstinted hand and otherwise
surround their flock with the completest
comforts consistent with their surround
ings This has ever been the rule, and
no one need hope TO profit by its excep-
tions-Nat. Live Stock journal.
