AT REST
THE GREAT CAPTAIN OF MOD.
ERIN TIMES EXPIRES PEACE
FULLY AND WITH
OUT PAIN.
|" He has fought his last fight;
He has Won his last battle;


He has won his last battle;
No sound can awake him to glory again"
General Chant died at S:0S O'Clock
Thursday morning. With his death
passes away one of the greatest cap
tains of modern times. Military crit
les may differ as to his character and
rank as military commander, but in
the face of his achievements any at.
tempt to belittle his military capacity
is idle.
Judged by the standard he held a
place in the affections of the people of
this country, which was equalled by
no one except Lincoln, and his record
as leader of the Union army, which
crushed the rebellion, will leave him
an undying name in the proudest chap
ter of our history.
Ulysses S. Grant was born at Point
Pleasant, Clermont county, Ohio, A pril
9th, 1922. He entered West Point
July lst, 1889, being then II years of
age. Among his classmates were In
gals, Franklin, Sherman, and w. +.
Smith. Thomas and Meade We're at
West Point the same time Grant was
there, but they were in classes ahead
of his Grant was graduated July l,
1913, and was appointed Brevet Second
Lieutenant, with orders to report to
the Fourth Infantry. In the Summer
of lS45 the regiment was ordered to
join Gen. TaylOr's forces at Corpus
Christi, which were protecting the
frontier from the Mexican army. He
took part in every battle of the Mexi-
can war with the exception of the bat
tie of Buena Vista, and was conspicu-
Gus for bravery.
Grant, in lS4S, married Miss Julia
Dent, the daughter of Frederick Dent,
a we'll known merchant of st. Louis.
He resigned from the army on the 3lst
of July, 1854, with the rank of captain,
and returned to st. Louis, where his
wife and children were residing.
When Lincoln's first call for rs, ,O0O
men was made, Grant was living at
Galena, Ill. Four days after the call
a company was enrolled in that town,
and Grant was put in command. Four
days later he reported with his compa-
ny to the Governor at springfield.
When the 2lst Illinois regiment ar
rived at Springfield the GoVernoE put
Grant in its command, and in August,
1861, President Lincoln appointed him
a Brigadier General. General Grants
army and political career are too well
known to need specific mention here.
After retiring from the Presidency
Grant set out on a tour around the
world, occupying nearly three years
| His tour was one of the most remark
able chapters in his wonderful history
He was paid royal honors from the
beginning to the close of his journey.
Probably at the close of his journey
there was Ho one man whose name
| was better known around tho entire
world than his. One of the pleasant
events in his closing career was the act
of Congress passed in the very last
hours of the Forty eighth Congress,
without single objection, restoring
him to his rank as General of the Ar
my, and placing him on the retired
list.

IN Iowa the new prohibitory law
has been in force year, and statistics
from twenty-five towns in that Stale
don't show successful prohibition.
These were collected from mayors
and town clerks who say that the en-
tire number of saloons now openly In
operation is 9l6 against 770 before the
new law went into effect. In one place
the increase has been from 50 to rs, in
another from 6S to 100, and in still an
other from l3 to l50. Under the old
law the councils of these different
towns had fixed licenses at figures
ranging from $3.50 to 81 ,Oc0

sent to Bro. Foraker, and consideripp .

DEAR SIR believing that the is

WHILE Massachusetts is moving
with fresh energy for the suppression

representations made to the New
Hampshire Legislature, that divorce
granting in that State is easier and
more frequent than in any other State

the proportion in a single year was

THE Republican party of the South
is in bad way There seems to be
some danger of its dying out. Only a
few days ago the distinguished Mr.
Dennis, who manipulated the Florida
vote in 1875. killed himself by an
overdose of whisky on a bet as to his
drinking capacity. Now Mr.. A. J.
Dumont, who was the Republican
manager in Louisiana in the last three
Presidential elections, has committed
suicide by blowing out his brains. II
seems like retributive justice Dennis,
the Florida giant" who cheated peo-
pie, the victim of alcohol, and Du-
mont, the Louisiana rascal who re.
ceived the office Of Deputy Collector
at New Orleans for his share In the
frauds, dies by his own hand.

The vigorous. campaign which the
ProhibitiogisEs have inaugurated
against The liquor traffic, has called
down upou their devoted heads the
wrath OF such contemplate Journals
as the Cleveland Leader and others of
it's iik. In this onslaught upon the
Prohibitionlats these representatives
of the great God aud morality party,
ycicpt the Republican party, show TO
the world tina! they are foes TO temper
ance; that they are III favor of the
liquor traffic i'll all it's demOtaIizing
phazes; ia that they are so dead set
against the PTOhibitiOnists and their
work for a cause that they deem
righteous. The PrOhiLitianists have
an idea that the traffic in Intoxicating
liquors is wrong and should not be
permitted or licensed, and in order to
systematic their fight against this
wrong they have organized political
party, which they surely have as much
right to do as the Republicans had to
Orgar.iZe party i'll support of the
principles which they thought right.
| The fact that such malignant sheets as

tionists does not hurt the latter in the
least, but on the contrary rather helps
