Expedient, Ergo, Constitutional.

the Commercial Gazette says the
Scott Law is expedient as Repub-
lican party measure and therefore
it IS constitutional. Wouldn't it be
well for the Republican Convention
at Columbus tomorrow to issue an
order commanding and directing
the Supreme Court Of Ohio to pro-
coed without undue delay to decide
the said law constitutional

Decoration Day.
The Blue and the Gray.

The happy idea of burying all
.he bitterness and asperities of the
past conflict under pyramids of
fragrant flowers, is fast taking hold
of our Country's National Decora-
ton Day. And it is most prom
Using omen for our future that it is
so.
That there is still natural re-
pugnance lingering in the hearts
of some, to decorating with tokens
of affection and honor the graves of
those who fought to dismember the
Union, is not at all strange; and
yet when viewed from standpoint
above and beyond the immediate
conflict, and considered now, nearly
a generation after the last gun was
fired and the last roster made up,
there is that in the consciousness of
this great National brotherhood
that bids all resentments and bitter
memories of the war be hushed for
ever.
If anything was gained by the
awful sacrifices and unmeasured
sufferings of the war, it is only
found in the perpetuity of the I'm
ion, saved from the fires of battle
and preserved as the precious and
treasured legacy of reunited and
happy people through all time to
come; and all the loss, suffering and
death that the saving of the Union
cost must now be counted as COM
mon sacrifice for the great blessings
secured.
1t is altogether a mistaken no.
ton that it is yielding the sacred
need of righteous victory to strew
with immortelles the graves of the
brave but vanquished dead.
1t is the very climax Of true her
oism for the victor to praise the
valor and manhood of his defeated
foe, and with the surer weapons of
love and friendship win second
and far grander victory than ever
was gained by belching cannon and
steel.
And if it be possible that there be
any loftier climax of true soldlerly
worth than this, it is when the van
quished foe is even ready with his
own disarmed and defenseless hands
to place the crown of victory upon
the brow OF his conqueror. Here is
a mutual exhibition of sublime he
roism that far overtops any posi-
BILE victory of arms.
In all heart and soul conflicts
where there is capitulation and hon
est surrender, there is victory in
deed. It IS in these more sacred
fields that our country sscontests
have been waged in these latter
years, and that the war is about
over and the victory we'll nigh com-
plete, was gloriously evident in the
"union" observances of Decoration
Day in many cities throughout the
Union where all ex-soldiers joined
in the beautiful ceremonies.
The Blue and the Gray together
ransacked Flora's fragrant bowers
and in common culled her choic-
est tributes. Thence marching arm
in arm to the grassy graves of each,
they together bowed, and amounting
the flowers with Loves mutual tears
they there in silence remembered
alike the Blue and the Gray.
Forgetting all differences, they
plant at the foot, the poppy; re-
membering all valor and worth,
they plant at the head, the ever
green.
And thus have the living come

A Little Fresh Air.
TEDIToRAL CORRESPONDENCE.

the morning ana 60 a nall mile on
dog-trot to catch the 3 a. m. train
East. This we did last Thursday
morning and after being thus
warm and cold successfully, finally
tapered off into general freeze as
we went whizzing through the hills
toward Grafton, The air was fresh
indeed, for the last day of May.
The observing traveller is struck
with the unusually dense mass of
deep green foliage clothing the
wooded hills on all sides. This
doubtless comes of the long contin-
ued wet weather.
DECORATION DAY,
was the topic of conversation
among all passengers and at all
points.
1t was remarked at Grafton that
more people were together there on
the Both than were ever seen in
the town before. Here, our silver
tongued Judge Loomis addressed
the assembled masses, and on eve
ry hand we hear his speech highly
commended.
Arriving at Wheeling at II a. m.
we found the cityair still full of the
fragrance Of the Day of Flowers
and everybody talking Of the occa-
sion. The soldiers monument on
Capitol square still wore it's profuse
floral adornments.
Doubtless the feature of the cere-
monies here was the exquisite
poem delivered by Mr.. VIM. Leigh
ton. AS we read the poem at
length in the Wheeling papers, we
said, here is a heart and soul rich
in the rare elements that are wont
to swell and bubble forth betimes
in poesy and song.
WHEELING's CHIEF JOY,
just now is found in the averted
calamity of general strike. On
Thursday evening the Iron Mills
ali stopped, as was feared for long
season, and everybody was blue be-
meath the impending pail of sum-
mer's business stagnation,
But at 8 o'clock in the evening
an excited courier hurried through
the city, bearing the magic words
of the happy telegram: "The
Scale IS Sagned," and the dark cloud
was scattered.
The conference of mill men in
session at Pittsburg had finally
yielded to the demands of the men
against a reduction, and signed the
scale of wages for the last year, So
the mills all go on, running full
time.
Capital will be disseminated, la
borers will have employment and
their hire, business will "boom,"
and hence, all Wheeling is happy.
Of course our temperance friends
in and about the Nail City are
chock full of the.

What miehshave ended in serious acct
dent yesterday, was everted only through
ignorance. After having moved from Da-
kota, the family of Mr.. VIM. Lowering
were fixing their things into the house, and
among other things was an old rusty shot
gun, which had been thrown into a box
and brought along. The old gun had
been taken into the house by some of the
family and the young hopeful, about four
teen years old spied it, took it up and
commenced fooling with it. the rest of the
family being in the same room at the time
when it went off. The contents spent
themselves in the wall, tearing q big
hole, but hurting no one.

daily paper for the present. For this
course, two reasons are assigned, first, 1.-THE
fast increase OF jobbing work requires 30
much of their time that they are unable to
pay proper attention to the paper. In the
next place the income received from the
daily during the winter months would not
be sufficient to reimburse the proprietors
for neglecting other, and more profitable
work.
In the little town of Hudson, situated
somewhere on the east side of Lake St.
Croix, there lives a gentleman by the

all that pertains to horse flesh. Last
spring James traded glandered horse to
citizen of Saltwater. A short time, since
the owner of this knock-kneed, glandered
equine attempted to sell the beast in the
town first named. This, it appears, con
stitued crime on the part of the Still
water man, who was arrested aud COM
mitted to jail, in default of the required
bail. All of which shows the great differ
ence between trading and selling.

MASONIC TEMPLE DESTROYED.
New YORK, Dec. About half past 8
this morning the roof of the Masonic tenn
pie on Twenty-third street and Sixth ave-
nue. was discovered to be afire and before
the engine could reach the spot great vol
umes of smoke belched from the windows
in the asylum of the Knights Templars in
the mansard story just below the roof and
dome. Thick volumes of smoke also
poured from the roof, followed by sheets
of flame darling high in the air. The fire
engines came tearing to the scene few
minutes after the alarm was
sounded. The report that the
Masonic temple was on fire spread
rapidly and hundreds of the fraternity
hurried to the place. A. large force of
police kept the crowd back from the fire
men. Patrick Dinith and Samuel Warren
of the foremost fremen in the mansard
story, were struck to the floor By the heavy
plastering falling from the ceiling and
were overcome by heat and smoke. They
were rescued by comrades, removed to the
hospital, restored to consciousness and
sent home. AS the building below the
msnsard is fire proof the fremen directed
their energies to saving what portion they
could of the mansard story. The entire
building is water soaked and much valuable
property destroyed. After two hours hard
work further spread of the flames was
prevented on the mansard portion, but
