vented by quickly placing them in their cells.

LEOPOLD Won RANKE.

Lord Macauley, in reviewing an earlier
work of Leopold Won Ranke, THE Eccles-
iastical and Political History of the Popes
of Rome during the Sixteenth and Seven
teen Centuries" wrote: "The work of Pro.
fessor Ranke is known and esteemed where
ever German literature is studied 1t is,
indeed, the work of mind fitted both for
minute researches and for large specula-
tons. 1t is written also in an admirable
spirit, equally remote from levity and
bigotry; serious and earnest, yet tolerant
and impartial"
The judgment of the most brilliant OF
essayiSts was not amiss; and to-day, now
that the great German historian is dead, il
can be reiterated with as much of truth rs
when utterance was given TO il half a cen
fury ago. To marked degree Won Ranke
possessed the essentials of the true histor-
ian and critic. He was deeply learned
in the history Of every nation. From lbs
earliest youth until overtaken by death at
the age OF ninety one, he devoted all the
energies of his being to historical research,
and 30 diligent was he in reducing his &C
quired knowledge to writing that in the
libraries of the world are to be found more
than fifty volumes Of his own authorship

HOW 1T HAPPENS.

When IL was announced week since
that Governor Oglesby had conferred q
favor upon man hailing from La Sale
county of the republican school of politics
the query was at once started amongst the
republican brethren of Ottawa how il hap
pened that Mendoza supporter of the
Chief Executive had secured his good will
rather than "A gentleman from this city. II
was remembered also with something OF
pain and regret, that year since, when
Uncle Dick" was looking for a valiant
warrior to ride with him upon parade and
review, dressed in gorgeous uniform,
upon a gaily caparisoned steed, resident
of Mendoza had been selected, and one, too,
who had never braved the dangers of bat
tie or slept upon the tented field, and this
also quckened the curiosity of the republi-
cans of the city.
So much Partially to one particular L.
caity and so uniform snubbing of another
could not but cause wonderment as to the
cause of it, and ii is TO solve the problem
that this editorial is written. Throughout
the whole contest carried on between Gov
ernor Ogesby and the republicans of OF
tawa for places Of honor profit and trust,
we have been on the side of our home folk ,
for, notwithstanding theh extremely bad
politics, they are remarkably pleasant gen
tlemen. We have noted this continual go.
ing to Mendoza for oniceholders with no
less amazement than they, and we think
at last we have found the cause of Governor
Oglesby's Partially to that city's republi-
cans rather than to the republicans of OF
tawa.
We were inclined to think at first ii was
because Mendoza was the home of Elk Col
lector of Internal Revenue Croker, but
on further consideration we have given the
theory up, deeming Mr.. Crooker's resi-
dence hardly of sufficient importance to
seriously affect the mind of even Governor
Oglesby, despite the fact that the distin-
guished ex-collector parades himself to an
unsympathetic people as IAN offensive par
tisan"-a style of conduct that is in line
with Governor Oglesby's style of politics.
We now believe the whole cause of the
line Of distinction drawn between the two
cities is to be found in the election returns
OF 1884. They show that Mendoza, with
out the aid of an "Oglesby Guard" organiza-
ton, gave the Governor six mora votes than
Mr.. Blaine received, while Ottawa, with
the aid and effects of a remarkably we'll
equipped club, succeeded in giving him
just twenty less than the man from Maine
We are forced to think that herein is the
solution of the riddle. The cause is an eX-
ceeding trivial one, but Governor Oglesby
has reached point in his career where he
finds more pleasure in mole hills than he
does in mountains.

rity;
Calm sleep our brave through all the land
The brave, who for their country died -
BY mOuntain-steep and river strand,
And by the restless oceans side.
Calm sleep our brave To-day we come,
Not with the lannon's fearful roar,
Not with the martial roll of drum,
To call to battle fields once more;
But meath this soft, blue sky of May
In these serene and peaceful hours,
We come upon these graves to lay
Fresh garland twined with vernal flowers.
Not that the form that sleeps in death,
ileeds the light footstep pressing near,
But that this tide of living breath,
May thrill with holier impulse here
o, We dead heroes let us not
Neglect at each returning spring,
To meet upon this sacred spot
And here our grateful offerings bring.
Nor here alone, but far and near
Where'er our soldiers sleep in clay,
May pilgrims come each passing year,
And there the need of honor pay.
o never let their memory die!
Who saved to freedom. power and fame,
This land, when darkness yelled our sky
And o er rs rolled wars wasting flame.
Nor let these tender rites be lost;
by them shall coming times be taught,
Through what deep pain, what countless cost,
The Nation power to live was bought
Warned by the awful bloody past,
Eschewing bitterness and strife,
May our dear country stand at last,
Renewed in all its inner life.
Then through long and prosperous reign,
Shall Gods good angels round us stand.
And peace and friendship with their train,
Bless united, happy land.

thing but edifying even to those who find
their highest enjoyment in partisan politics
prides himself upon his abilities as sarcas
tic and in giving vent to his spleen on Tues
day, he doubtless imagined his sarcasm to
be the highest kind Of argument. His
, whole effort was unworthy the most de
based political platform and beneath the
dignity of a representiye of the people of a
great state.
Was General Black A criminal found
guilty of the commission of a great crime
no stronger denunciation could have been
passed upon him. The Kansas senator was
not only incorrect in his statements but he
was rs we'll cruel as unmanly. He was
nothing short of being cowardly,
What is General Blacks offence that
all this fuss is made about him? Nothing,
save that he is the recipient Of a pension
under special act of congress which owes
Its vitality to republican president. The
distinguished gentleman from Kansas
should be little less hasty in his crit
cisms of the acts of his own party's repre-
sentative, for by being so he would not be
placed in the light of criticlsIng the acts
of his own party.
1t is very probable, however, that the
postwar soldier, Senator Ingalls, could
stand General Blacks pension, if General
Black had not so persistently insisted that
in his administration of the Pension De
partment there should be neither fraud
nor favoIitism,
No one has q kindlier feeling for soldiers
than has the Commissioner, but his in.
terest in their welfare is controlled by his
sense of duty. He insists, and rightly, that
there shall not re any irregularity in the
granting of pensions. An investigation of
the department under Commissioner bud
ley shows that such Irregularities were of
frequent occurrence, though in direct con
hict with law. If Senator Ingalls, is de-
sirous of taking up this issue let him do
so, but he can rest assured that the people
will be with the public servant who insists
that the laws shall be strictly observed and
not recklessly violated.

people, who as rule fail to realize the
magnitude of the actual monetary disaster,

1t is estimated by BrodstreetS that three
weeks since there were at least 100000
workingmen engaged in the labor agitation
that spread simultaneously over the United
States. Happily now that number has been
reduced through various agencies to but
little more than 41000--a number that
