A Soldiers, Monument.

CLEVELAND, Aug. l.-At Fremont,
o., to-day a soldiers monument erected
by the people of Sandusky county was
unveiled with imposing ceremonies. The
shaft stands in Stephenson park. on the
site of Fort Stephenson, where on Aug.
., 1918, Mai. George Croghan with 100
men defeated l,2OO British and Indians
under Proctor and Tecusmeh. There is a
great crowd of people in town and ex-
President Hayes is president of the day.
At 10 O'Clock a procession composed of
military and civic societies from various
sections Of the state paraded the streets;
and at 1870 o'clock in the afternoon the
exercises began. Maj.-Gen. J. D. Cox
was the orator Of the day; addresses were
also made by ex-President Hayes, Gen.
II. p. auckland, Capt. J. NJ. Lennon
aud Others Capt. Andrew c. Kemper, of
Cincinnati, read an original poem on Fort
Stephenson.
x-President Hayes, in his address,
touched upon the historical incidents re-
lating to the spot where the
stood. He cited that sevcnty-two years
ago Mai, George Croghan aud his little
band successfully defended Fort Stephen
son against u largely superior force of
British regulars, under Proctor, and In
dians, under Tecumseh. Gen. VIM. T.
Sherman, writing of this event in history,
said: THE defense Of Fort Stephenson
by Croghan and his gallant little band
was a necessary precursor to Perry's
victory on the Lake and of Gen. Harri-
sons triumphant victory at the battle of
the Thames. These assured to our i'm
mediate ancestors the mastery Of the great
West, and from that day to this the West
has been the bulwark Of the nation. Mr..
Hayes also read a letter dictated by Gen.
Grant July IA, which said: Gen. Grant
directs me to acknowledge the receipt OF
your invitation to be present at the un-
yelling Of the Soldiers monument in Ere
mont Aug. !, and to convey to YOU his
heartfelt thanks for the kind expressions
contained therein personal to himself 81
After reading the letter Mr.. Hayes
said: Since this letter was
written, the great soldier has been relieved
from suffering, which he bore with such
patient and noble iortitudc. The nation
he did so much to save, is tearfully but
gratefully and proudly preparing to per
form the last sad offices in honor of he
matchless warrior and best loved citizen
The monument we dedicate here, every
monument to a citizen soldier Of the
union, is a monument that reminds US o
the deeds and virtues of Gen. Grant. Al
though trained as a soldier, war iount
him a citizen; it made him again a soldiei
and in his last years he was oncc more
citizen. He was simple, sincere, just
%magnanimous and pure, and to thes'
high qualities were added by nature witt
lavish p~rodigality an iron determination
unyielding %tenaeity of purpose and seren
and heroic mastery of all his faculties. il
the midst of responsibility, danger an
: death, which fitted him above any othe
living man for the command of the Gran
Army of the Republic, in whose keepin

for positions in the funeral cortege and
offers of personal service for staff and
other duties connected with the military
escort on the occasion, continue to pour
into Mai. Gen. Hancock's office on Gov.
ernor's Island, and have necessitated the
employment of several extra clerks and
the appointment of Lieut.. Lemley as
aide on the staff to assist Capt. Young
and Lieut.. Allen in recording the mass
of correspondence.
Admiral JeweLt landed from a steam
launch at HIS this morning and had a
long interview with Mai. Gen. Hancock

forces under the admiral's command. A
prominent official stated that various men
of-war would be stationed at different
points in the North river and fire salutes
during the progress of the funeral pro-
c~ession. The matter of marines and
sailors parading ms n portion of the escort
is not settled.

in the line. 1t is intended that the
president and vice president, with the
members of the cabinet. and also ex-

it to be the wish of the family that DIR.
Newman be granted his request The
committee from Philadelphia reported the

reconsider the matter. The general has
referred the whole matter back to Col.

ligious closing services of Rev. DIR. New

dents that President Cleveland desires
then presence at the services. Ex-
Presidents Arthur and Hayes have been
invited. A communication has been re-
ceived from John B. Clark. clerk OF the

Democratic Review.

Natchitoches Democratic Review.
The prohibitionists won u great
victory IN Atlanta, Ga, last week by
majority of less than 300. Local
option has prevailed for some time in
one hundred ont of hundred and
thirty-fye counties in the State, but
the contest in Atlanta was the first
one of the kind ever waged in any of
the large cities of the South, and its
success will serve to bring moro promi-
nently before the people Of the South,
this great question which is slowly
but surely growing. The arguments
used by the probibitionists in Atlanta
were that the laws against whisky
vastly improved the country morally,
socially and financially; that the ban
ishment of the grog shop served to
decrease crime, and affected sub
stantial benefit to the labor of the
country,
Such arguments as these, strongly
supported as they are by facts and
figures, naturally take strong hold,
and exercise a powerful Influence
upon the intelligent, unselfish, and
patriotic men everywhere. They are
as applicable to this State as to
Georgia, and ere long their power will
be felt. Unfortunately, in our own
State, as elsewhere, there are many of
the opponents of prohibition who are
mentally and morally incapable OF
graspiDg the issues which the ques-
tion presents for solution. They re-
fuse to see the gravity or the dignity
of the contest, and starting ont upon
the assumption that it is political
question pure and simple, they ar
rogantly presume to teach democracy
to democrats, and to read out of the
party, men who are in favor Of plac-
ing III the path of this gigantic evil,
every obstacle which the laws of the
land permit,

End of The Easfern War.
Times-Democrat, Nov. 80.

Times-Democrat, Nov. 10.
An armistice yesterday stopped the
war between Seryia and Bulgaria; and
within two or three days definite
treaty Of peace will be signed at
Vienna re-establishing peace between
the two countries.
II is the shortest war on record for
ono so fatal and decisive. On Nov.
IS, Just two weeks ago, King Milan,
on very tiimsy pretext, declared war
against Bulgaria; the Seryian army,
which had been equipped and pre-
pared for the contest, started for Sofia
the subsequent day, and on Nov. 10
the fighting began. Thirteen days
have sufficed to end the contest and to
produce the most sudden and uBex'
pected changes.
If it bas not affected the Eastern
question it has bad an important
effect in showing the strength OF the
Balkan principalities and will play no
little part in their future development.
1t has given new life and pride to the
Bulgarian national spirit, which has
been dead for nearly ten centuries.
Poorly equipped, wholly uRdisciplined,
without any experience in war and
with no officers ybsteyer--for the
Russian officers who commanded the
Bulgarian army abandoned il just be-
fore hostilities begap-the Bulgarians
triumphed over the Seryians, who are
among the most warlIke Of European
nations, well equipped and furnished,
thoroughly disciplined and having bad
experience on several battlefelds in
the late TuTeo- Russian war, How
much of this success is due to Prince
Alexander IL would be ditiicult TO say.
Educated in the Prnssian army, he
seems To have imbibed some Of the
military skill and genius that has
made Prussia the foremost power oi
Europe. The Bulgarians were defeat
ed and routed on every battlefield I'M
Ill be came to the front; but with biz
advent the fortunes of war suddenly
changed; the Seryians susteiped 8 sue
cession Of crushing defeats, were
driven from Bulgarian territory and
fnally routed % their own soil. ThS
war bas made Prince Alexander some
what Of hero, while It has threat

The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1885-12-12

The intercession Of the great powers
will prevent any very important re-
suits flowing from this struggle. Ser
via will lose and Bulgaria gain moth
ing. 1t is not probable thatAlexander
will be disturbed in his principality
beyond the restoration of Eastern
Rumelia to Turkey. It will be, in
deed, return to the status quo ante,
with nothing to recall the war save
the graves Of the soldiers who died
in it. Never has 4 contest been more
foolishly begun, never moro unpro-
ductiye of results than the thirteen
days. fighting between Servia and
Bulgaria. 1t has served to show the
relative strength of the two powers
-"only this, and nothing more"
