Decoration Day.

Mountains Of Fto,oers, Famed By
Breezes Of Fragrance.
All the newspapers of the land
are teeming with elaborate descrip-
tions of the general and universal
observances of Decoration Day.
The, farther time removes US
from the terrible scenes of the war,
the more lively are the tender
memories of the ties of love and
affection that were rudely sunder-
ed by the awful clash of battle.
In Richmond, Va, Charleston,
our own State, and many other
cities, the "Blue" and the Grey"
marched arm to arm and joined
hand and heart in bestrewing the
graves of the honored dead with
floral wreaths and crosses and cres-
cents, and in building fragrant
monuments of choicest boquets on
the tombs of the trusted heroes who
led in the conflict.
In Parkersburg, business was
sue poLNCu, 1Ao puo pOopiC SohOlai-
ly, old and young, gave themselves
heartily to the tender offices of the
day.
In the morning detachments of
the G.. A. R. visited and decorated
all the soldiers graves in the
several cemeteries and outlying
graveyards.
In the afternoon the grand pro-
cession of G. A. R Odd Fellows,
Hibernians, Germania, two Fire
Companies, Sons of Veterans on
horseback, with citizens generally,
marched from Court Square to
Riverview Cemetery, where the
Grand Army ceremonies were OBJ
served, after which the great
assembly of over 1000 listened
intently to the excellent and most
appropriate address by General
Burdette, COMMANDMENT, Chief of
the G. A. r,
1t was a good day for the hearts
of the people.

First Fruits of the IniQui-
tOus Scott Law.

"The first vote on the Local Op-
ton clause of the new Ohio Scott
Law was cast by Cincinnati, whose
Board of Aldermen voted almost
unanimously in favor of Sunday
liquor selling. The decision was
probably prompted by the feeling
that if liquor is to be sold at all on
Sundays it always has been in
Cincinnati,-it is better that it
should be sold by responsible per-
sons who are known to the law,
and within the reach of its penal
ties. "-Phila. Press.
The Press we'll knows, and every
body knows, that the same set of
lawless scamps that incubate, prop
agate and perpetrate briberies,
frauds, forgeries and murders in
Gin cinnati, in the saloons on week
days, are the same responsible per-
sons who will now open their mis-
cradle, murderous saloon bells all
around the churches on the Sab
bath Day.
This is of the first fruits of this
great and wise Temperance meas.

No Need to Quarrel.
Here's for the "Comm,on Ground" and
"Sokd Front"

A Wheeling correspondent of the
Pittsburg Christian Advocate, writing
of the Religious and Temperance
revival work in that city, says:
"a brother made quite telling
hit in abiding to the Indifference
and divisions that exist among our
Temperance people. He said: owe

"Third Party" and the "Third Par
ty'' has been quarreling with me.
And I believe that God is mad at
both of US. What we want in our
State is some common ground of
agreement upon which we can all
come together and show a solid
front to the liquor power"
We see no excuse for any trouble
at this point, at all. There's sure
ly no need to quarrel" and no oc.
casion for having the Lord mad at
any of US because of our attitude
toward the cause of Temperance
and Prohibition. We are sure there
IS common ground" on which we
can "all come together and show
solid front to the liquor power"
How will this do for common
ground? 2" Suppose all ''quarreling"
about the Third Party" be drop
ped, and we one and all agree,
faithfully, earnestly and persist
emily, to pray, work and vote for the
men, measures and party that are
openly and aggressiusly, in princi-
pie, plan and platform, in favor Of
the overthroso of the" liquor power ?"
What say you, Brethren ? Here's
a go-THE FREEMAN plants itself
On this common ground"

The Scott liquor law has been
practically re-enacted in Ohio. The
unconstitutional portions of the
law were left out this time.-Ceredo

Not so. The unconstitutional
