as representativeof of the Cameron power
in state politics he would encounterjus
as vigorous opposition as that power
merits. Another suggestion is that Mr..
Wanamaker's nomination would force
all the small storekeepers in the city and
in the state to vote against him, and
maybe against the whole ticket. To
whicE the answer is made, and if it
does all the ministers will be with
him in their congregations and
in preaching from their pulpits."
Equally narrow minded and senseless
is each of these suggestions. The
"small storekeepers will do well to
stick to their business and the preachers
to their text. The kind of men who
would he influenced by such considera-
tions for or against Mr.. Wanamaker are
not potential. The day for that sort of
thing is past. Mr.. Cameron may play

of the state, but it is the privilege of Il
United States senator to he the biggest
fool in the commonwealth.

THE memory of the war is too fresh,
the sentiments which it awakened are
too strong and too many of the survivors
of it are still among us, to enable us to
fairly determine rs yet whether or not the
observance of Decoration day is to be a
permanent national festival. For time
its hold upon popular interest seemed to
be weakening, and that there isarevival
of interest in it is due to the fact that it
has lost much of the former narrOwness
and sometimes sectional and party spirit
which marred it's celebration. The GUS
tom of strewing flowers on the soldiers
graves originated in the South, and since
its adoption by the Union people the as
perities Of war have been softened, and
where the ceremony is observed
now it is generally made an occasion
for the expression Of sentiments of fra
ternity and charity. Indeed the custom
of decorating the graves has extended far
beyond those of the soldiers and if Dec
ration day is to have Il permanent inter-
est it will he in this enlarged scope of its
observance. We have none too many
holidays, and one at this season, when
nature is in her fairest garb, and especi-
ally since the increasing lateness of the
spring has almost robbed us of " May
Day" will be altogether timely. There
can be no more graceful occasion for
it than the remembrance of the dead,
by the decoration of their graves, but we
venture to suggest that Il greatly i'm.
proved style of decoration would be the
planting of choice flowers and shrubbery
instead of the present mode of laying
cut flowers and bouquets on the tombs :;
they wither and suggest forgetfulness
of the occasion which inspired them.

DAYBREAK.

into the vast unknown,
Under the morning skies.
Out where the diamond dew,
Thick on the meadow lies.
Fresh, swift, and strong upborne,
Like birds in eager flight.
On through the fragrant dawn,
Or through the rosy light;
So do our spirits soar
Far up and far away,
Into the vast unknown,
Into the golden day.

Eleven Car Loads OF Freight In Ruins.
As the fast local freight west on the Z.

at midnight last night the rigging of one
of the car brakes became detached and
fell, causing very serious wreck.

wrecked and their contents scattered
about and three moro were badly broken.
The front brakeman, John Funston. was

Some unprincipled persons have desc
Grated the grave of a little daughter Of
Captain E. McMellen in Woodward Hill
cemetery. On the fiat tombstone there
was small block of marble shaped like
Bible and having the inscription "Ellie's
Bible" upon it. 1t was fastened to the
tombstone with screws, and ON Saturday
last when members of MIR. McMellcn's
family visited the child's grave they
discovered that some one lost to
all sense of decency and without

that is supposed to pervade tho hu-
man breast. had wrenched the block
from tho tombstone and carried it of. Ii

vandalism in this and other cemeteries.
