DECORATION DAY.

This is the nations day. Respect to the
honored dead is older than civilization. 1t
has been a custom in all ages and among
all nations, tribes and peoples, from those
who dwell within the gates Of the rising
sun to those who behold his more glorious
light giving place to the dreamy dominion
of the evening star, to pay suitable tribute
to the memory of the honored dead who
have fallen in defense of country. In OBJ
servance of this beautiful custom, which
has prevailed in all the centuries of human
= history, there will go forth to-day thousands
and tens of thousands of our people, who,
with loving hands, will tenderly plant flow
ers and lay garlands on the little mounds
beneath which are resting our dead heroes
The graves of our fallen soldiers are scat
tered all over this land. They are peace
fully sleeping on the mountain tops, the
rugged hillsides, and in nameless valleys.
From the lakes to the gulf two thousand
miles of travel are marked by the Golgothas
of our kindred. We.are honoring human
ity, and still more, ourselves, when we lay
aside the cares and business of life and
spend one day out of each year in decorat-
ing their humble graves.
There will be no animosity in this days
work. Its ceremonies are marked by a
tenderness in which there is no room for
bitterness of feeling. AS the Northern
mother, with saddened heart and fearful
eye. lays the laurel wreath on the grave of
her son who died wearing the blue, her
synpathies will run out toward the mother
in the Southland who is planting the cypress
twig on the mound which covers her boy
who wore the gray. And as each one, in
her mission of love to-day, comes upon
some nameless grave with no monument to
tell whence the sleeper came or who he was.
she will not stop to inquire to which side he
belonged, but only remembering that he
was somebody's darling, will deco
rate his earthen bed with garland
wreath for the sake of the mother who bore
him and knows not his resting place. Those
who observe decoration ceremonies should
not be neglectful of the unmarked mounds.
No matter If it is the grave Of some poor
boy whose name is unknown and whose
memory is forgotten. Nations once list
ened with praise and wonder to the roar OF
that boys musket, as through beehing flame
and smoke, he strove to erect the arch Of
empire" Nor need it matter on which side
he fought The splendors of to-day's sun.
light will fall with impartial tenderness OF
the graves Of all. They may lave beer

THE Atlanta Constitution is making an
earnest effort to raise 5000 to erect build
ing for the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, in Atlanta, as the World is to raise a
pedestal fund for the BARTHOLDI statue in
New York. The Constitution is meeting with
deserved success, as over $40, 600 of the sum
has been secured. 1t is proposed to connect
an industrial school with the Atlanta institu-
ton, so that 100 boys can nightly receive in
struction in the mechanical arts. 1t Is also
proposed to supplement this by schools for
telegraphy and stenography. The Constitu-
ton deserves great credit for the interest it
is taking in this matter, and the people Of
Atlanta ought to be proud of a newspaper
that has the interest of the city so well at
heart.

the alleged Improvement of every ribald little
creek on the continent, while the imperiOus
Hennepin, with it's vast expanse of idle waves,
its constantly population OF bull
frogs and muskrats and its annual product OF
cartails and ague, lies sweltering under the
brazen sun and useless to the purposes OF
commerce. The trouble with convention at
ST. Paul would be apt to be a tendency to
make the affair a sectional one. We candidly
believe that a wiser plan would be to call a
grand national convention at Chicago in the
interests of the Hennepin canal and all trib-
utary rivers.

Clean the Apaches Out.

Chicago Herald. r
Southwest are members of the last savage
tribe to succumb to advancing civilization.
Whatever m ay be said about the wisdom of
the policy which spared the rebellious
Apaches two years ago, it is now plain that
the savages at present on the war-path should
be dealt with without mercy. They have had
ample warning, and during the last two years
they have been treated with much greater
consideration than the average white man
has been. The fact that this kindness has
not been lost ON some of the band is the more
convincing evidence that the offenders are
incorrigible. Anything like leniency toward
the small bands of rowing cut-throats, whose
murders and other depredations are reported
daily, would be unwarranted and unwise.

Forced to Assign,

Special to the Globe.
BRAINERD, Mimi, May &c. 81.
Douglas, a well-known hotel man and
largely interested in logs and timber lands,
this afternoon assigned to Jason Marsten
of Minneapolis. Douglas was reputed to
be worth $50, 900, including the large Com
mercial hotel in Brainerd, the Douglas
house in Aitkin, some ten thousand dollars
of stock in the Brainerd Touring mill and
considerable real estate here and elsewhere.
His liabilities cannotyet be ascertained here.
1t is understood that the assignment was
caused by Douglas being held upon notes
amounting to several thousand dollars,
which he had indorsed for Lon Davis of
Minneapolis. It is asserted that Douglas
has ample property to cover all his liza
bilitieS.

WiuKeduce the Cut.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May 29.-The con-
yention of the Northwestern lumber manu-
facturers was adjourned to-day, to meet in
Chicago on the third Wednesday in August
next. The principal object of the
convention was to devise means and
unite upon plan whereby the
production will be curtailed. Various sug-
gestions looking to this end were discussed,
but no definite line of action was decided
upon. 1t is believed. however. that a re-
duction of 800, 900, 600 feet in the cut of this
district will be made this season, as the
sentiment of the lumbermen present was
shown to be favorable to such course.

larly benefited by the late rains. The

thing for growing grain.

some departments of the trade, to conduct
iron manufactures except at loss. There
seems to be no possibility Of avoiding
strike, in which perhaps 100, 900 workingmen
will be thrown out Of employment. There is
sort of contagion about these things, and
when strikes begin they frequently spread
rapidly through the country. The American
thinks that if extensive strikes occur, there
may be danger of labor riots such as
occurred in 1877, and it will
be well for the executive Off
some of the blunders of that exciting epoch.
1t says that Zone thing that was demons
strated at that time. was the uselessness,
AND worse than uselessness, of militia troops
for this purpose. They seemed. in the ma
jority of cases, to precipitate the rioting
rather than to suppress it. The calling out
of the Sixth regiment in this city was the
beginning of the trouble. 1t is far better to
deal with riot with policemen, and, if these
be insufficient, to call for United States
regular troops. The reason for this is that
rioters stand in awe of the lawful represent
tatives of physical power. The policeman
is the best, for all the crowd feel that he
simply does his duty. If danger becomes
serious it may be well to strengthen the
police force. The regular soldier that must
simply obey orders ranks next. They are
respected and feared. But our uniformed
companies seem to enrage the crowds and
hasten a fight. The crowd calculates upon
the reluctance of the militia to fire. Blank
cartridges are expected, The worst scenes
in the riots of 1877 occurred in consequence
of the march of militia upon excited crowds.
But happily, though there are indications
of far-reaching labor disorganization, there
are none of riotous disposition. The con-
ferences between EMPLOYER and employee
have been conducted in good temper, and it
is reasonable to hope that the problem may
work itself out without serious menace to
good order. Still, there are times when
good Judgment and. good temper are
needed"

The Last Message.

Ashland News: In November, 1883, the
steamer Manistee of the Leopold & Austrian
line, left the port of Bayfield, on the way
down and has never been heard of since.
The weather was rough and it was con-
cluded the vessel went down in storm.
No one of the thirty persons on board at the
time escaped to tell the story of the disaster.
On Sunday afternoon last, Augustus Arch
ambault picked up bottle that had drifted
ashore near Fish creek, at the head of Ash
land bay When he broke open the bottle
he found therein scrap of paper contain
ing the following message:
'sThis is off the Manistee, in fearful
storm May not live to see morning. Ever
yours to the world. JOHN MCKAY, Capt"
The paper was at once taken to Col. C.
T. Bowe, port collector-of Ashland. who
recognized the handwriting to be that of the
late Capt. Mckay of the i'll -fated Manistee.
c. J. Higgins, who was two years ago agent
of the Wisconsin Central at this place, also
declares the signature to be genuine. In
connection with the above, Alphonse LIE
Bel informed the News that last November
his fishermen caught trout off BAYFIELD,
which had in it's stomach a silver spoon
marked "Manistee." Mr.. LIE Bel still has
the spoon in his possession.

Mankato High school Exercises.

In spite of frequent showers and dark
clouds vast concourse of people assembled
at the Grand on Thursday evening to wit
ness the above exercises. The orchestrs
opened with music, which was followed by
the prayer of Rev. Bushnell. On the stage
beside the class, were Supt. Denfeld, Prof
ton, Prof Soaring, Beckholz and Judge
Brown.
The first on the program was an ORATOR
by Charles E. Goodell, with Latin saluta-
tory. The subject of his Grafton was Bis
marck as Statesman, in which he sketched
the life of that great statesman, pointing
out his grand work for Germany, the oppor-
tune time at which he was introduced
into the politics of his country, and the
subsequent history of him whom he calls
Germany's greatest statesman.
Miss Matte A. Robinson then read an
essay entitled Mountains from Mountain
Attitudes Are Only Heights; as Bleak and
Bare. Miss Robinson's paper was well
written and the thoughts embodied well
worth remembering. Miss Mary l.. Good
win followed with an essay on Joan of
Arc. In this historical essay one could
not help but notice the absence of that pre-

class of essays. 1t was composed in a
happy style and its reading was likewise
good.
Miss Minnie M. Davis then read The
Glass History, which was filled with many
"reminiscences of the class of 'S5, their strug-
giles, trials and triumphs.
Mr.. Philip jenkins delivered an Grafton
on The Newspaper and the Organ. He
set forth many of the incongruities which
presented themselves when these two were
combined in one, and suggested the separa-
ton of the two.
A most interesting essay was next listened
to. 1t was the product of Margaret Jones,
entitled Robert Burns, and left very
pleasing effect upon all its hearers.
Miss Lizzie Spawn and Glenn Shredder

great applause.

Mormonism and polygamy, either publicly or
privately, and that those who engage in send

states would pass similar laws it would be
