WHAT DEMOCRACY IS.
Party Whose Record Il Black To-
Day as 1t Was In 1861.


1t is getting to be time that the
question should be asked why such
men rs Mr. VOORHEES, are thrust for
ward. rs the chosen and most. highly
honored representatives of q party
which pretends to be thoroughly loyal.
The history of voorhees, is not now
made public for the first time 1t was
familiar to loyal men when some who
are now voters were not vet born. Is
that the explanation? Are the loyal sons
of loyal fathers so ignorant of all the
past that they select this Indiana DEM
agogue as their ideal statesman. not
knowing what he was? Strange that
they contriye so often to pick out men
of the same nature. Was Mr.. Turpie.
the other Senator from Indiana. ever
among the defenders of his country?
When Mr. Cleveland selects rs his pat
tern Democrat, for some post of high
honor, man whose chief merit is that
he was a virulent copperhead during
the war, is anybody surprised? For
that matter. was Mr.. Cleveland him.
self more Jealous for the Union cause
than Mr. Voorhees,?
1t is right that party should select
its representative men for places Of
trust and honor. In that way only
the country comes to know what sort
of men do best represent the party.
in its own opinion. The Southern
Democracy makes no bones about it;
first of all, the few rebels who never
stopped to ask pardon are chosen for
honor, and then the Confederate Off
GERS, and never the men who did not
sympathize with rebellion. The De-
mocracy of the North has been illus
trating itself in the same way. 1t pre-
tends to have been and now to be
loyal party. 1t carefully picks out
for places of trust and honor the men
who were trying to make the war a
failure when Sheridan was riding down
from Winchester.
How did these Democratic politicians
come to be copperheads? The habit
of licking the boots of Southern mas
tiers accounts for something. But
they needed support then. as they
do now. Ignominious and contempt
IDLE. every one of them would have
been during the war, and would have
remained to this day, if the Demo-
cratic party had ever been loyal at
heart. as it pretends to be. Its SYM
pathy with rebellion was shown when
the war was in progress by putting
forward and voting for voorhees,.
Vallandigham and others of that
stamp. 1t is shown now when the
same party. having ADLER and better
men by far in its ranks, keeps these
ancient copperheads in places of trust,
or goes with Mr.. Cleveland to search
political graveyards for them. in or
der to reward them for their genuine
and unauthorized Democracy.-M y

Why He Pretends to Love the Old SOL
diers just at Present.

After ridiculing wounded veterans
in his pension vetoes and going fish.
ing on Decoration Day, President
Cleveland made q discovery. What
he discovered was the fact that there
are not only great many veteran.
left in this country, but also large
number of other citizens who ardently
sympatize with them, and whose mex.
tinguishable debt of gratitude to them
for their sufferings for the country's
preservation makes them keenly fee
and promptly resent any slight or in
suit inflicted on them.
Mr. Cleveland has gotten these facts
through his epidermis. and as this is
Presidential year and he wants to be
reelected. he is going TO cultivate the
veterans. He has consented to review
the Decoration Day parade in Brook
lyn. He will look down from q grand
stand with patronizing air as the vet
Grams march by him and leave him be-
hind, as they left him behind when
they marched to the front twenty
seven years ago. Perhaps he will utter
a few sententious generalities on the
duties of patriotism. The veterans
will please not forget that Mr.. Candi-

them of his most distinguished consid-

ABILENE REFLECTOR
MEMORIAL DAY,

Far down midst Southern mountains
Where lonely pine-trees stand.
And where the silvery mist-like moss
Has laid its soft gray hand.
Where through the silent forest
No voice e'er echoes. save
The sweet wild song Of birds that taronG,
There lies soldiers grave.
And no stone tells the story,
And no words tell his name,
And in the list Of battles fought
He bears no share Of fare
His was the soldiers spirit
To do and dare and die,
But not for him in the forest din
The shout Of victory.
s'Died On the march the saddest
Words that a comrade writes;
As brave a soldier, though. as he
Who in the front rank fights;
For him no drums are mufded,
Nor pomp, nor funeral signs.
But comrades tried who marched beside
Laid him beneath the pines
When we. through all the country,
Honor the solGier dead,
And wreaths of choicest flowers are brought
And words Of praise are said
Far of amid the mountains
Who marks the grave so lone'
VIII no one make for soldiers sake
WREATH prayer-aot one!
Ah, yes. for tender Nature
Loves well To mark the spot.
And over all that lonely mount
She strews forgct-me-not-
She knew with what true courage
His fresh young life he gave,
And flowers whose eyes reflect the skies
Each year sends to his grave.
What matter il that soldier
Did wear the Blue or Gray,
For brave and strong must be the heart
That gives its life away.
Not theirs alone the glory
Who share the battles din,
a hero he who valiantly
Meets death though others win.
While We with martial music
Honor the soldiers name,
Unfurl the flag and deck the graves
OF those who earned its fame,
On many lonely hill-sides,
BY forest, vale and sea,
There Nature brings her offerings
That none unmarked may be.

Louise an explanation, besides he longed to
write to her and perhaps receive a reply,

former courtship, his unhappy marriage,

ardent affection for herself, and ended by

A Watermelon Seed In his Thsoat Six.
teen Years,

LANCASTER, Pa, May 28.-For more
than sixteen years Abram B. Shifer of
New Holland, this county, has not par
taken of solid food. He has lived on
milk and other liquid substances. But
nevertheless, he is an active and seem.
ipgly healthy man. Besides taking the
toll on the New Holland pike, he deals
in horses. He has wife and two pretty
daughters to care for, and he does it in
good style, too. In 1872 Mr.. Shiffer was
eating watermelon, seed of which
stuck in his throat, and it has remained
there ever since, although many efforts
have been made to remove it. The first
treatment was mustard internally, but il
stuck in the throat, and, producing
inflammation, structure of the oesoph'
sgus was the result. Four years later
the structure was reduced, but Mr.. Shift
fer's ambition to do farm work caused
reaction, and the structure became worse
than ever. For ten years the man hal
had an instrument inserted 10 his throa
to enlarge the opening, otherwise h'
would be unable to take liquid nourish
ment. The man is generally in happ!
frame of mind, and he hardly eve
troubles himself about his unfortunate
condition. he takes the toll just tn

An Unparalleled Migration.

English sparrows were first imported
iato this country at Brooklyn, N. Y,
in 1850. They did not thrive, and two
years later another colony was imported.
They multiplied and spread, until, in 1870,
the sparrow was diffused pretty generally
through the Eastern States, the race
being increased by importations at several
sea.ports in 1858 and following years.
Since then these birds have extended

A Giant Hand In the Sky.

F1NDLAY, OHIO, May pa strange

here last night shortly before IL clock,
which has caused the greatest cons1erna-
tion among the people. 1t was the
representation of a human hand of i'm.
mense proportions, awe inspiring in its
realistic vividness. Early in the evening
the sky in the North had peculiar
appearance, which, as the night wore on,
took the form of flashes oflight constant.
ly changing in color, pulsiug up from the
horizon and again subsiding, but with
each appearance becoming more brilliant
and unnatural. This continued until
abont II o'clock, when those watching
the phenomena were terrified to see these
plumes of light cousecrate into distinct
object, which soon assumed the proper.
tions of a giant hand, we'll formed and as
distinct as if painted upon the black
background of the sky.
The hand appeared to be shadowy
substance, through which waves of light
of "a blood red color surged as regularly
as heart beats in a human breast and
then fell off at the ends of the fingers in
drops of the same color, almost as large
as hot.air balloons. The first finger oi
the hand pointed down toward the
sleeping city as if warning the people of
some woe about to fall upon them.
The spectacle lasted for about an hour,
and was witnessed by hundreds who were
breathless with suppressed excitement,
until slowly it began to fade away and
finally disappeared altogether. 1t was
one ofthe strangest and yet most impress
i've exhibitions of nature ever witnessed,
and speculation regarding its cause
and significance will not abate for many
