their glorious deeds perpetuated in marble and
bronze, SO that oncoming generations may see
grand testimonials of gratitude to them. For
a score of years they have slept the sleep of
death, many Of them in unmarked graves,
and $4,000 of them about the stockade at
Andersonville-a loyal, human soul starved
out Of body for each bright star that bent its
beams over that horrible prisona BEN. For a
score of years the seasons have come and
gone; but father, brother, husband, lover
they will come back no more forever. We

the inestimable blessing of redeemed, free,

Their memories should be honored.

THE meeting soon to be held at Montgom-

the object being to raise money for $50, 900
monument to the Confederate dead, suggests
the duty Of Indianians to similarly honor the
memory of its patriotic dead. A quarter of a
century has elapsed since some of the sons Of
Indiana made ready for the war. Twenty Ave
years ago, in the early spring time, the boys
in blue began to form in line to march against
the enemies of the Union. In a few weeks
the fearful four-years harvest of death was
begun, and on thousand battle-felds the
sons of Indiana left dead comrades. Twenty
one years have passed since the last shot was
fred in defense of the flag of the Union and
in behalf of human liberty. Other States
have done much to honor their dead. The
South has done much to commemorate South
ern valor In lieu Of Southern patriotism.
There is fine monument at Atlanta,
and magnificent shaft in New Orleans. Now

that has languished year after year. The

The following resolution, adopted by the
st. Louis Merchants Exchange, must receive
the Endorsement of every thoughtful and true
man:
"That, while we recognize to the fullest ex-
tent the right of all men to organize for their
mutual protection and for all legitimate and
lawful purposes, and to unitedly abandon en-
ployment when they see fit we denounce as
tyrannical unjust and illegal any attempt to
interfere with the rights of others to seek en-
ployment or to prevent by violence or secret
or open intimidation the exercise Of these
rights; and we denounce ALSO any and all in
reference with the rights Of property, with
the rights of the public to the unre-
stricted use Of the railways of the country,
and any unlawful dictation from anv source
as to how the business Of citizens or corpora
tions shall be conducted, and all similar eff
forts to destroy freedom of action or to con-
troll the property of others, believing them
to be subversive of every principle upon
which free government and free institutions

the rights of rich and poor. employers and
employed, and to threaten the very founda-
tons of society"

THE Philadelphia Record, at the conclusion
of long editorial reviewing the evolution of
the labor question, says
Gin spite of the croakers of evil it cannot
be disputed that these three essential points
have been gained in the labor struggle: The
hours of labor have been lessened, and this
tendency is still in progress; the average rates
of wages in most industries have advanced and
are still advancing; and at the same time the
comforts of workingmen and their families
are enhanced by the increase in the purchas-
ing power of their earnings. This is not all
due to the organization of labor, but its infu-
ence in ameliorating the condition of working
men is incontestable. The great army of or
ganized labor, if true to itself, will not per-
nit the territory that has been gained to be
lost. It will not only hold its ground but adj
vance to new conquests BY more effective
organization and by jadicious exercise of the
ballot palpable wrongs and abuses will be re-
moved, and in the next ten years another
milestone will be erected on the highway of
progress"

In order to please little clique Of Democratic
partisans the Democratic Police Commissioners
have removed Superintendent Lang after being
compelled to exonerate him from all charges Of
improper conduct A petition had been circula-
ted among the leading business men of the city,
both Democratic and Republican. who unanf-
mously signed 1t, askingth Commissioners to
make no change in the superintendency. The
signers represented the financial backbone Of
the city. They were men of intelligence and
property, but handful of men of the Coy stripe
were evidently more mighty with the men who
constitute the Board of Commissioners than all
the respectable element OF the city boiled down.

Mr.. GOULD and the Missouri Pacific direc-
tory have done wisely in consenting to arbi-
tration of the differences between the railway
company and it's employees. It is evident that
a great proportion of the men realize that they
made mistake in striking against that road
because another management had offended
against the Knights. The two Governors that
investigated the reasons for the strike pro-
nounced against the men, and Mr.. Powderly
himself has expressed the opinion that
it was an unwise and unwarranted pro-
ceeding. The merits of the issue are un-
doubtedly with the railway management; that
must be conceded, and the directors, by &C
cepting the proposition of Mr.. Powderly,
practically say that they feel certain Of the
justice of the attitude they have hitherto
occupied. It is morally certain that any
committee that Mr.. Powderly has anything to
do with will do full justice in every question
that may be brought before it. The result
of the concession will undoubtedly. be to
vindicate the road against the hostile action
of the strikers. 1t is impossible to,
read the situation any other way. It is
stroke of good policy for Mr.. Gould and
his advisers to exhibit disposition to make
any reasonable concession in order to adjust
the difficulty and to start up business again.
If the road be in the right, as now appears,
it would be very trying, Of course, to yield to
those in the wrong; but the yielding shows a
disposition Oh it's part to do the honorable
thing, and the Inevitable effect will be to
strengthen it in the confidence of the public.
The strikers, too, will appreciate it and will
not soon forget it.

Mr.. GEORGE MAY POWELL, Of Philadel-
phia has timely articls in the April Cen
fury on Strikes, Lockouts and Arbitration"
in which he says 'One of the most salts
factory cases of Cancellation and arbitration in
America was the settlement of serious strike
in the Philadelphia shoe trade, in 1884. This
was arranged by Hon. J. M. Washburn, with
some cooperation with the Peace Union.
About 81, 900 daily wages was involved, and
what proved to be cold winter was before
the people, The settlement saved this, with
all the peace and comfort, health and morals
involved. Not the least of the advantages
gained was the formulation of eleven rules,
with notes on the same. The value Of these
rules and notes is shown by their having since
settled several strikes in other trades and
other States They were posted up in fac
tories, and the workmen by way of pleasantly
came to call them 'The Eleven Command
ments' They were furthermore made the
basis of adjustment of serious trouble in one
Of the largest institutions of learning In the

THE following epitaph may be read on a
stone in the cemetery at Wayland, Mass:
'tHere lies the body of John Mclean Hay
ward, man who never voted. OF such is
the kingdom of heaven" There is no need OF
saying the deceased was Crank Nothing
less would properly describe such character.
The man who never voted has every reason
to be ashamed of himself. The man who
takes no interest in the welfare of his country
is hardly fit to live in it. He may be honest,
and Industrious and sober, but if he has not
done his part in making good government, he
has not done his duty. Not to vote is but to
confess that his voting would have done harm
to the country. His failure to do so certainly
did no good. There are three classes of citi.
zens: Those who vote and take an interest in
the affairs of government, and whose infu-
ence is for good those who are persistently in
the wrong and that third class of monde
scripts that do not vote at all, and thereby at
test their Indifference to the welfare of the
State The last named may be classed be-
tween the other two, in that they favor neither
the one nor the other. But of such is not the
kingdom of heaven by great deal. It is
doubtful if place be reserved for them in
the abode of the faithful 1t is impious to
attempt to justify such willful neglect by the
Scriptures. They pronounce unqualifedly
against those who 1low neither hot nor cold.
Such cowardly and self-righteous char
acter is deserving of the contempt of
all honest men. The duty of every citizen is
to participate in all the affairs Of government,
to vote in all the elections and to share all the
responsibilities Of citizenship. There could be
but one excuse, and that would be that by
such participation the government would
suffer, a confession that such self-sufficient
man would never make. Making application
of the principle, it is the plain duty Of every
legal voter to cast ballot in the township
