BROTHER SINGERLY, of the Philadel
phia Record, has much to be proud of
in the phenominal growth and success
OF that pre- eminently excellent penny
daily. He took it when it had but six
thousand daily subscribers, and last
Saturday week he issued an edition Of
over one hundjed and f5cenfy-oNe
thousand copies. What do ye think Of
that, ye carping chieftains of Baltimore
city dailies? We admire his pluck, his
energy and his brains, but cannot fol-
low him into the untrodden paths
whittier his free trade enthusiasm leads
him. He is credited with being the
father of the so-called textile free wool
movement in Philadelphia, and his
handsome brother "Aleck' of the Times
gives him this timely nut to crack:
Brother Singerly, the free-trade en-
thusiast of the Record, is the real father
of the textile free wool Eovement. He
is nothing if not impetuous. He owns
the prettiest theatre and the most at
tractive newspaper building; he runs a
frst-class newspaper; he amuses him
self with a mammoth paper mill !; he
builds houses on his own ground, with
bricks from his own yards and wood
work from his own mills, and he is a
large textile manufacturer. He wants
free pulp for his paper mill he wants
free coal for his machinery he wants
free attractions for his museum; he
wants free lumber for his buildings, and
he wants free wool for his factory. He
wants to cheaper his products, multi
ply his labor and increase his profits,
all of which could be done if he OBJ
tanned all his raw materials free and is
protected in what he produces. What
would be the fate Of his capital, his la
Dor and his establishments if his consu
mers all Clipped in for free woolens,
and free iron, and free cottorI, and free
everything else?

MEMORIAL DAY.

On Monday last the loyal people of
this country bowed in grateful rever-
ence at the graves of those who laid
down their lives that the supremacy Of
the Union and the Constitution might
be maintained. Memorial wreaths were
lovingly laid, alike upon the tomb of
the great commander and upon the un-
inscribed tablet that marks the last
resting place Of the unknown brave.
The living defenders Of our national
honor renewed again their Obligations
to guard and protect the priceless leg
acy of free government, which their
patriotic brothers sealed with their
blood. May each recurring Memorial
Day bring fresher evidence of the graf
itude with which free people preserves
the recollection of its patriotic dead,
and may the story Of their valorous
deeds be recounted to each rising gener-
alton, with all the eloquence and grace
that oratory and poetry can bestow.

THE EPRESIDENT'S WEDDING

Who can account for the universal
interest which centcrs around bride
and groom? How the recital of the
minutest detail of the bridal toilet ex
cites the enthusiasm of the feminine
nature, while unappreciative benedicts
and crusty bachelors stand aghast at the
wealth of gossip which even an ordinary
wedding excites. But when the groom
happens to be the bachelor President
of the United States, who can measure
the height and depth of public COM
ment and expectationo
For the first time in the history of
this country the marriage of President
has taken place in the White House.
Was there ever wedding in this coun-
try which excited such general interest
simply on account of the prominence
of the principal actor in it9 In all
reason how could the President hope
to escape public gossip?
lust as any other old bachelor would
naturally do under the circumstances
he made a mistake in trying to keep
his intended marriage a secret. He
ought to have known that the eyes and
ears of the newspaper reporters would
prove too sharp for him. Instead Of
announcing at the proper time his in
tended marriage, and indicating his
wishes in regard to it, which the public
would have readily respected, he and
his household made mystery of it and
set the whole social and newspaper
world agog to find out by prying gossip
and the thousand and one methods of
the Paul Pry school all about it.
The inevitable result was that Miss
Folsom was made the subject Of great
deal of unnecessary comment, which
few frank words on his part would have
prevented.
Mr.. Cleveland didn't respect public
opinion enough to take the people into
his confidence. He assumed that it
was none of the public's business. He
forgot for the time that the fierce light
of Democracy beats about the presi-
dental chair as we'll as about the thrones
of kings and emperors, and the Ameri-
can public was disposed to resent his
lack of confidence. But in spite OF all
his mystery and secrecy, the newspa
pers found out all about the details of
his marriage, even when denial of every
thing pertaining to it was made at the
White House.
But the public is as quick to forgive
and forget as it is to resent imagined
sights, particularly when a pretty wo-
man. and she the first lady in the land,
is concerned; and the wish is general
that the Presidents married life may
be a greater succ IS than was his at
tempt to keep his marriage secret.
The young lady who is SO suddenly
summoned from the privacy OF her
home to become the mistress OF the
White House has the sympathetic good
IS of everyone. A long life to Gro
land and his bride, say all.

now remains for the people of Marietta to

The shares are only FIVE dollars, and Ger

people in the city who have not yet sub
scribed who could easily take at least one
share, and not miss the money at the end Of
three months. Certainly every one who
owns 81 900 worth of property in the city
can well afford to subscribe literally to the
success Of this enterprise
The matter now rests ON the people, AND
unless each one is willing to do his or hel
