GARFIELD MONUMENT FUND.
To tie People through the Press.


AT the last meeting o. ths Society
of the Army of the Cumberland, it
was proposed that under its auspices
there should be erected in the city of
Washington a statue or monument in
memory Of our former comrads, the
late President james Abram. Garfield.
With that end in view, committee
WAS appointed by Lieutenant General
P. II. Sheridan, president Of the So
>iety, which organized and proceeded
to work, and it is with much pleasure
that the committee announce that
its efforts have met with such liberal
response from all parts of the country
as to warrant the assurance that the
work will be consummated.
The question now is, and to you we
submit it, shall the statue be such an
one as we can build with the funds on
hand, or will you come to our aid in
such manner as to enable US to
erect work of art in size. design and
workmanship in keeping with the
glorious name with which it will for.
aver be associated, as we'll as ar orna-
ment to our already magnificent cap
ital city. 1t is proposed that the
work when completed shall bs no
longer the property of the society,
but be formally transferred through
their Chief Magistrate to the people
Of the Unite States to be a monu-
ment Of their affection for all time.
We therefore present to you the
opportunity to unite with US in the
work, and thereby enable up to make
tho structure in every respect worthy
tho uame of Americas foremost
people. To that end we request that
on the 30th instant, a day when all
hearts turn in love and grateful re-
Eembrance II to the soldiers of the Re
public, and we strew their graves
with flowers, that q feature of that
day shall be the Offering and soliciting
OF contributions to the end act forth.
But few can enjoy the privilege Of
placing flower on his grave on Dec
oration Day, but all can contribute
the cost of one and thereby enable us
to stimulate genius and exhaust art
in the endoavor to plant here
statue that will testify to men of all
time tbe great love the people bore
him.
1t is the desire OF the committee
that this work be general; one in
which all the people can take part
without feeling it to be tax and it
10 the' efore suggested that no contri-
button from any one person on that
day shall exceed one dollar.
Tho press and postmssters through
out the country will recsive and for
ward subscriptions; or, if preferable,
a committee of citizens may take
charge of the work under such plans
as they may deem most efiic2 cio1s.
In either case it is desired that a
complete list of subscribers ne kept,
as all subscription lists, as well as
copies Of papers publishing the same,
are desired for deposit in the corner
stone OF the statue, and will be care
fully retained for that purpose.

A COLD WATER WAVE.

On the train everybody talks tenn.
perance. There are only two topics
of conversation in Ohio in these days
the May festival and temperance.
The people Who talk of the May
festival, Of course, never talk about
anything else, but all the rest of the
population of Oaio talks temperance
or lntemperance as the case may be.
The man with the red nose, who
speaks such broken English that he
seems to get all the parts of speech in
one word, declares in the most aston
ishing polyglot that the Smith bill is
making slaves Of US. He Gays his
fathers fought in the revolution, but
il they did, it must have been in the
Hessian contingent, and he declares
that before the American people will
submit to this new tyranny, blood
will flow. However, there is no i'm
mediate danger. 1t is likely there
will be more boer flow than blood.
Men have fought, bled and died,
but not for beer. Arnold Winkel-
reid did not throw himself upon the
Austrian spears because he was or
dered TO close his saloon at nine
o'clock. William Tell did not bide
the arrow under his coat to kill the
tyrant because the edict had gone
forth that the free e-born Swi;zer should
not drink a keg of beer every Sum
day. Freedom did not shrek ss
Kozinsco fell across whiskey barrel.
Warren did not die that beer might
flow as the brooks ripp,e and murmur
seven days week. Tea, mild harm
less, efeminate, much sneersd at, tenn
persncs beverage as it is, holds q
higher place, is a grander figure. and
fills brighter, more glorious pages in
the history of noble struggles for hui
man liberty than beer. Men liked it,
but they fought rather than take it.
The fights around a barrel of whiskey
do not pass into history, they pats
into police court records. Even the
battle of Brandywins was not fought
that whiskey might be free. No
clause in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence declares that Sunday concert
garden with FIVE brass horns and
sixty eight kegs of beer, is the inalisn-
able right of free people, and the
cornerstone of all coed government.
The battles of this world have been
fought for grander things than free
whiskey. The heroes who fall in the
struggle for the supremacy of rum
ale usually shot in the neck, and
their martyrdom is generally olouded
by the haunting phantoms of the
jamee-jams. There will be no tenn
perance war. Whiskey makes men
fight, it 10 true. but they usually fight
each other. And if they don't, the
chances are all in favor of the tenn.
rerance people. 1t is a poor sober
man who can't get away with his
drunken neighbor; if he can get him
drunk enough.-Ha,okeye.

SPARKLING TOO LONG.

his scquaintauces how he had gone
back on his girl because she was sar-
castle, and they asked him to explain
what he meant. He said that he was
spending tie eve, ing with her and
he no,iced that she seemed TO he alb
sent minded or irsd, or something.
About 2 o'c ock in the morning he
said she started up suddenly in alarm
and exclaimed: my, what is that ?"
He eaid he didn't hear anything, and
she said she thought maybe it was the
millylnan coming with the milk. He
said that was too sarcastic, and he
would never go too see her again
Well, probsbly he couldn't suit her
any b. tier. Some fellows overdo
the thing entirely when they go to
see girl, and nothing will break
them eff the habit Of wearing out a
girl like some sarcastic remark like
that Sometimes the .ather OF the
girl will come to the head of the
stairs and ask the girl if the morning
laper has come, or il she will not ,ell
her visitor to tell the hired girl when
he gets ready TO go. These things
may look to young man to be sarcas-
tic, but his conduct warrants 1t.
There is no girl who is well, and has
the least desire to remain 30, that
wants to sit up all night with ordi-
nary young men. Ste has got to
have some sleep or she is not worth
the powder to blow her up. She can
get al. the information thas he has to
impart in six or seven hours, and
every hour he stays after that is a
dead loss. Some young fellows never
know enough to go. They speak of
it being time to go about ten o'clock,
and the girl, to ba polite, says: "Oh,
don't hurry away it is early yet"
and the galoot thinks she means it,
and he goes into camp for a few hours
more, and all the time the girl is on
nettles. She wishes the hours would
take FIRE, or they would be seized with
a cramp SO he would get out. She
knows he will be the laughing stock
of The whole family, and wishes he
was in Gshenna, but he stays as though
he was sitting up with corpse. NJ
girl wants to seem i'm polite, and no
one will yawn behind a handkerchief,
or hitch uneasily in her chair and
pray for relief, and when the slayer
does finally go, she will skip up stairs
three at time and give a sigh of re-
lief. We understand that petition
has been sent to the police, signed by
one hundred girls, asking them to ar
rest any young man found on the way
home after twelve o'clock at night,
unless be can give an account of him
self. A girl ought to have cheek
enough to tell young man when he
has remained long enough that it is
time to retire; and if he does not go,
call servant and have mattress
spread on the parlor floor end go off
and leave the deliberate young man
to stay all nj hit if he " ants to. This
ia written at the request of number
of young ladies who have become
pa,e and hollow-eyed from being kept
Up until the early hours of the morn

The Battle For Bread.

Chicago Express
From late and reliable statistics it
appears that the average wages for
skilled and unskilled labor is now 1913
per cent higher than was paid two
years ago. From this fact it is argued
10y some that the labor disaffections
aud demands for increased pay, and
the recent strikes, are unjust aid un-
reasonable on the part of wage-worker,
and entities them TO no sympathy or
support. But there are two sides to
this question, and while capital ls pre-
senting its case, let labor also have a
hearing.
This increase is of 10 per cent, even,
has been chiefly obtained by workmen
in those branches Of industry requiring
the fewest lab0rers, while the aavance
in unskilled labor, shop girls and many
Of the Il AIDES full stocked with help,
the average increase is but 2 9 per cent,
and in several branches none at all.
From the same collection of Stats
tics which furnish the foregoing facts,
it Is shown that the average cost of
living now is 27.7 per cent greater than
it was in 1880 And even in this aver
age the increase is far the greater on
those articles of which the most is
needed and for which most of labor
wages are pad. For instance, the
average advance in the items of
house-rent, -four, meat, potatoes. but
ter and milk is 1873 per cent. Hence
it will be seen that, Notwithstanding
the average increase OF 10 per cent
in wages, the dollar the labOrer receives
to-day is worth to him in the purchase

years ago. In other words, the man
who has had his wages advanced from
81 per day in 1880 to 81 90 in 1882 is
actually receiving but $l26 per day as
compared with 1880. A few bond
