Ministers Of, the gospel teach US
that the world is In rebellion against
God and that sinners are traitors to

for this we are taught that it was the
Divine wish that the yearRing over
lost men was "a a mawkish sentiment"
and that sinners for this cause

rather, think, He sent His only Son
into the world TO seek and to save the
lost, with message of forgiveness
and salvation to all.
1t seems that while you profess to
be a follower of. this Savior and n
teacher of His holy religion, you have
not found in your reading this in

CHICAGO, LII, June Rec. He'd
rick JOhnSOn-DEAR SIR: The Daily
Ne,rs of the 4th inst. contains an in
terview with you in reference to some
remarks said to have been made by
you in meeting of the Presbyterian
ministers held in this city some days
since, in which you take strong
grounds against decorating the graves
of deceased Confederate soldiers
Among other things you say:
81 am heartily opposed to the
whole mawkish sentiment which
causes their graves to be remembered.
If there is to be sorrow displayed let
it be in the dead soldiers family-but
let it end there. Unity is one thing
and pcrpctuating the memory of
traitors is another. 1t is gush, nothing
more. The men who died fighting the
flag should pass into oblivion, and
nothing should be done to give them
glory. They don't deserve it,"
AS an individual, it is your pro-
vince to entertain such sentiments,
but when uttered by person pro-
Tossing to be a follower of the Savior,
whose mission was - Peace on earth
and good will to men" they become
a proper subject for comment. Until
you uttered this sentiment the public
had no occasion to know whether you
had been a soldier or Il camp-follower.
1t is now plain. The soldier of this
age, like the knight of old, is the en-
bodiment of truth, of nobility, of
courage and Christian manhood
This is true, whether he be a soldier
of the cross, whether he lived with the
blue or fell with the gray, and it has
never been characteristic of soldier,
a brave man, or 4 Christian to heap
contumely upon the dead or treat
with disrespect 4 fallen foe. Such
sentiments only find Iodgment in the
hearts of men who in times of war
followed the walks of peace and in
times of peace put on the garb or
war. To utter the sentiment at
tributed to you may crafty your
longing for cheap nOtOriety, but it
does not gain for you the respect of
brave men nor the admiration of loyal
men. The bravery, the integrity, the
daring of the Confederate is the her
itage of our country. To have
achieved victory over such a foe
sheds luster and honor upon the vic
tor-upon American arms. If you
beIittIe the foe you rob the victor of
the just measure of the glory of his
achievement. The undying glory
earned by the Federal soldier, which
will last as long as time lasts. and
which is now spread over the entire
world, would not have been possible
had not the Confederate soIdiers-the
Confederate armies possessed such
splendid courage and performed such
deeds of daring as to make the
worthy foemen.
This being true, the glory of each
is linked together and is the common
heritage of the north and the south.
But am not surprised that you can
not appreciate a sentiment now COM
mon to the soldiers to whose vaIor
we owe the preservation of the Union
you now seek to destroy.
The sentiments you utter are not
new; no credit is due you for origin
atty; like sentiments have been

The Grand Army of the Repub.
lie will pitch their national camps
in San Francisco Tuesday, August
3 1886, and the encampment will
continue during the week. At
this time it is impossible to make a
correct estimate Of the numerical
strength of the encampment, but 1t
is an acknowledged fact that the
coming reunion in California has
awakened greater interests IN
Grand Army affairs than has been
created in any annual gathering
since the organization OF the frater-
nifty. The trip is a long one' but
the universal desire in the ranks
East of the mountains to visit the

TREE PLANTING IN Nevada

The subject of tree culture is re-
ceiving more attention each year
in all civilized countries. In Rus
STA, every person who cuts down a
tree is compelled to plant two in
its place. This method insures an
increase Of forest area. In Sweden
a day is set apart each year for
tree planting, and a prize offered
to the man who places the greatest
number of trees from sunrise to
sunset.
In several other countries boun-
ties are awarded for tree planting.
The Hawaiian Government Is now
agitating the subject, The United
States Government has taken little
interest in the matter from the
fact that east of the Rocky Noun
tains natural forests abound. The
Pacific Coast States are compare
tiye,y treeless and subject to long,
dry Summers. California is waking
m to the fact that forests bring adj
ditional rainfall, increase the tim
Der and wood supply and add to the
valne of agricultural lands.
1t is time the real Nevadans,
those who propose to coax from the
generous soil the necessities CT
life, and propose to feast their
eyes upon waving grain fields and
grazing herds, rather then the un-
slightly dumps and debris OF a
mining camp, and who are making
homes in the State, bestired them
selves upon the subject. In 1917
the Legislature, by Act placed a
liberal bounty upon forest tree
planting, enough to remunerate the
enterprising farmer in few years
for his outlay of time.
This, however, is small part OF
the benefit of forests to the State.
The value of the rainfall which IS
sure to follow the growth OF any
considerable amount of trees Is be-
yond computation. The rapid con-
sumption of the pine forests upon
our mountains is alarming. This
loss must be remed1ed in the
valleys by artificial means. AL
most any hardy tree will grow rap
idly in this State with a little at
tentlon by irrigating the first two
or three years. Cottonwoods are
probably the least expensive and
troublesome, being indigenous to
the soil and very tenacious OF life.
They also make more growth OF
wood than any other tree In a given
time. Almost any rancher can
spare few acres to start small
forest. Twenty acres will accom-
modate about 10000 trees, From
ten to fifteen years will make each
tree worth S. for wood. Is there
any other method by which more
money can be produced upon that
land in that time? and in figuring
don't forget the certainty OF more
frequent showers which increase
the yield of the crops.
If the land cannot be spared in a
lump, plant them around the diff
erent enclosures; they will do for
fence posts when the cedar rots
away. Plant them in your pastures
for your cattle to rest under
through the heat of the long Sum
mer days. Plant them where they
will prevent the Autumn winds
from gathering the fruit prema-
turelv. Plant them because they
are good to look upon if no other
reason suggests itself, but plant
them without fail this Spring.

The Chautauqua assembly soon found it
had more upon its hands than it had bar
gained for. There were so many persons,
young and cd, that wanted to learn so many
things at once-some Of these even outside
the direct Sunday school field.
One of the crying evils of the day was the
vile dime literature, which was poisoning
childrens minds. Could not the association
do something to stop it? They thought they
couli. DR.. J. H. Vincent, the Chautauqua
instructor, shouldered the task. He, in COZ
nection with able assistants, organized what
grew to be the now famous G. L. 8. G. That
means the Chau tauqua Literary and Scien-
tific circle. 1t became a new organization,
now regularly chartered as the Chautauqua
university.
1t is composed of pupils all over Amer
lea, who study various branches OF
science and literature at home, in local cir
cles, under directions by letter from head
quarters 1t has done immense good. In
the summer there are meetings for those
who can attend them in the unique "Hall OF
Philosophy" which you sec in the picture.
It carries the thought back to the classic,
beautiful days when Socrates and the other
Greek philosophers taught in the porches
and in the open air.
The Circle now has a regular course Of in
struction, and the students graduate at the
end of four years Anybody-black, white
young or old, male or female-may belong
to the university, for the education is got a
home in spare moments Examinations ar'
carried on by letter.

THE HEAT IN DAKOTA.
People Thought the World was Com
ing to an End Tuesday.

ST. PAUL, Minn., July S.-People in
Dakota, thought the world was coming
to an end the day before yesterday. The
wind was like simeon. Birds, horses
and cattle apparently become crazy
with fright, anticipated some catastro-
phe. At o'clock in the morning peo-
pie were awakened by q roaring blast
as hot as if from furnace. Fearing
cyclone they took refuge in cellars. The
temperature was 120 degrees. At mid
night it had been 100 degrees. People
feared death from the hot air and had
it lasted much longer, the fear would
doubtless have been realized. Fortu-
nately it soon abated and comparative
comfort was found in q temperature of
about 100 degrees which had prevailed
for several days previously. During
this terrible night there were strange
barometric disturbances throughout
that region. Passengers who came
through on the Central Pacific trains say
it was like passing through furnace.
Train men had their faces and hands
blistered by the heat. Grass and crops
are greatly damaged.

Prof. Horsford's Baking Powder.
DIR. w. W. MAcGREaoR,

Corpus Christi, Tex, says: "Ihave examined
Horsford's Baking Powder, and consider it a
valuable article for the use intended. The
phosphates are an absolute necessity to the
healthful growth and repair of the tissues OF
the body. Many diseases, especially of the
bones and nervous system are in a great
measure due to the deficiency of these salts
in the body. The vital processes going on
within the body are attended with constant
waste of the phosphates, which must be sup
piled by the food taken. In the manufacture
of -four large portion of the phosphates is
lost in the separation of the bran. In the
use of Horsford's Baking Powder, rich in
phosphates, this is, in a measure restored
and the bread is thereby rendered more
healthful and much more nutritious" Inc

make an exceedingly obnoxious combination.
The latest development in which the real man
has got the better of the outward seeming
saint has come out in Washington. A Re-

Treasury clerk, and he was discharged by his
immediate superior. Whereupon the pastor
of the ostensible church, himself also an
