President Cleveland to Join the
veterans at Gettysburg.

In pursuance of the plan adopted by the
veterans of the late war to visit, each
spring, some one of the celebrated battle
fields of the Union, the pilgrimage will this
season be made to Gettysburg. The time
fixed for the visit is May 4th and 9th.
The great success attending the previous
visits to Fredericksburg and elsewhere,
and the wide interest manifested by the
old soldiers of both armies, indicates that
the Gettysburg meeting will not only be
largely attended, but highly valuable, from
an historical point of view, and full of in
terest to the participants in the scenes
enacted there twenty-five years ago. The
meeting will bring together numbers of the
most distinguished men of the land The
President, with his Cabinet the "War
Governors" and present Governors Of the
States, distinguished officers and sailors Of
both armies, and men p -ominent in the
councils of the nation, will honor the oc-
casion with their presence Not only from
the vicinity of the field will the veterans
come, but from States North, South, East
and West, soldiers and civilians are send
ing assurances of their attendance.
The pilgrimage is made under the ausp-
ces of the First and other Corps of the
Army of the Potomac but the invitation
covers every officer and soldier of the late
war
In order to accommodate the visitors the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will sell
excursion tickets from points on its lines
to Gettysburg on May Cd, 3D. and 4th,
good to return until the 9th inclusive, at
greatly reduced rates.

We like the volunteer ournalist-fried ii
he is young and boiled, if he is old-but we
like him. The good people who lie awake
nights devising plans to improve their pa
per-doubtless think they are doing the
world great service, and they are-not. II
a journal is not properly conducted, the
public will find it out, The subscription
list and advertising patronage will tell the
business manager that something is wrong,
and the remedy will be applied without
outside assistance. There are few people
who would have the impudence and effron-
terry to stop physician on his way to visit
a patient and tell that physician that he
was pursuing exactly the wrong course of
treatment, and would surely kill his pa
tient. Nobody but lunatic would inter
rupt a Judge in the midst OF his charge to
the jury, and say "See here, you are not
giving those men the proper instructions ;
you ought to know letter than that !"
People don't rush into dry goods estab-
lishment in breathless haste and tell the
proprietor he made mistake in buying
calico last week, and ought to wait until
next week. Our greatest millers and man
ufacturers are not besieged by a horde of
wise idlers who are loaded to muzzle,with
information about the proper time to buy
wheat or the necessity of limiting the prod
uct until the demand increases. They are
allowed to attend to their own business,
and il they do not conduct it properly, de-
creased patronage soon warns them of
their danger.
In the newspaper office it is different.
One volunteer thought-moldcr advises the
| decapitation of correspondent because he
writes that ear muffs are not fashionable in

mutf trade in Minneapolis. Another com.
plains that the death of John Mchiff, which
occurred in Arkansas last May, was not
chronicled with the postscript, "Pine Bluff
and Moccasinvllc papers please copy" A
tender miss of nineteen summers and an
equal number of hard winters iiutters il
with poem on 'Love's Young Dream,
and complains that hitherto too little at
tention has been paid to the muses.. Sh'
adds that she would like to have her effu
sion printed on the first page top of col
umn, and will present her bill at the cash
ier's window. One man wants more for
eign news, and another thinks 1t is an out
rage to print rubbish from across the waite
at all And so it goes II the editor print
ed everything he is ordered to, he woul
have to issue sixty-four page paper ey
cry day; and II he omitted everything hi
anxious advisers tell him to- his journi
would be as white as the driven snow.-
