Cover Them Over with Beautiful
Flowers

Again. as the seasons round brings
us near the end of May, do terrified
eyes look toward the beautiful ceme-
teries where lie the gallant boys in
blue. With every returning season
those silent ranks are recruited; with
every Memorial day there are less left
to mourn. 1t has been said that the
custom of scattering fragrant blossoms
upon the graves of the dead soldiers
would soon pass away, but instead, it
seems to become more generally and
more earnestly observed as the years
60 by.
The veterans OF Abilene who march
next Wednesday with solemn step and
slow to pay again their tribute of
cry to their fallen comrades, are no
longer young. The silver hairs cluster
about their brows, and the forms once
so erect and soldierly are bent with the
weight of increasing years. But the
hearts are still the same brave hearts
that faced rebel shot and shell and
braved pestilence, prison cruelty and
hardships worse than death, that the
Union might be preserved. They can
stand by their comrades graves and
feel that the ones lying there have but
gone before. They realize that the
ranks of the living are thinning day by
day, and that the time will come-and
come soon-when not one loyal form
that wore the blue will remain to weep
| DER the sleeping armies.
To the younger generation the day
is not what it is to them. But every
effort should be made to impress it up
on the youth of our land that it is a
day for solemn memories, not alone OF
sorrow for the dead but of pain that so
many lives should have been laid down
in the midst of their usefulness, in
order to repulse the Infamous efforts
of cause eternally wrong.
Let the day be one of cOmmemora-
ton, not of jollity. Let the rising gen.
Grafton be made to feel that it is to be
observed as one more opportunity to
exhibit thankfulness for the govern
ment under which we live and appreci-
alton of the sacrifices of its defenders.
There is no more impressive, more
solemn, more fitting festival in the
whole years calendar than that day
when we "Cover with garlands those
heroes of ours. Cover them over,
cover them over, cover them over with
beautiful flowers"

At the county convention held at the court
house In Abilene in the fall Of 1887 the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we believe the Crawford coun-
ty system" of holding primary elections prefer
able to the one now In use in this county, and
hereby instruct the County Central Committee
to adopt the same.
"By this we mean that the primary election for
county officers shall be held each year on the first
Tuesday In September; that the returns duly Ger
titled shall be forwarded at once to the secretary
of the central committee; that the central com
mittee meet on the first Friday after the primary
election and canvass the returns, and declare
those parties nominated by the Republican party
who have received the most votes for the respect
i've offices. That each commissioner district
elect two members of the central committee, and
that the whole county elect one at large at the
primaries.'
At the last county convention which met to
elect delegates to the congressional and district
conventions, an effort was made to rescind the
above resolution; this was opposed on the ground
that the convention was not fully attended and
the people had not discussed this question at their
primary meetings. After discussion, it was
finally resolved that the county central commit
tee should call special attention to this subject
so that the voters might discuss this question at
the July primaries, to the end that their delegates
to the county convention July 2lst may be pre-
pared to vote intelliglbly and in such manner as
will be fair expression Of the opinions of the
Republican voters of the county on this question.
We herewith append another resolution that
was adopted at the Republican convention last
fall as follows:
Resolved, THAT We, as Republicans, ought not
to honor in convention any person whose adher-
able"
We respectfully urge upon all Republicans the
duty and Importance Of attending the primary
meetings and especially consider the Crawford
county system Of nominating candidates for cOun-
ty offices. j. NJ HODGE, Chairman.

Cleveland at Gettysburg.

1t is announced that the President
has decided to take part in the Gettys-
burg anniversary exercises, July ID
and that, as a preface to his own re-
marks upon that occasion, he will read
President Lincoln's famous Gettysburg
address delivered at the dedication of
that cemetery. How pleasing
it will be to hear those words from the
lips of one who was compelled to with
draw his promise to attend G.. A. r.
encampment because the members of
that organization positively refused to
have him review their ranks, and who,
not content with vetoing more pension
bills every month than his predecessors
did throughout whole terms, has lost
no opportunity to hurl, in the text of
such vetoes, insult and sarcasm at the
veterans recommended to him for aid.
Will it not be travesty on justice
and on history to hear this man read:
1T is rather for us to be here dedicated
to the great task remaining before us.

Vestibule Trains to Chicago.

The vestibule train is new factor in
western railroad transportation. 1t is
claimed for these trains that on account
of their being connected by steel hoods
all danger of telescoping in case of acct
dent is removed, the train being prac-
tically one long car. 1t is certain that
the oscillation of the cars is greatly re-
duced, and it is also certain that the
vestibule trains afford the greatest COM
fort yet known to travellers. The adop-
ton of this style of train by the Chica-
go, Santa Fe & California Railway, be-
tween Kansas City and Chicago, is a
strong bid for the passenger traffic be-
tween the West and Chicago. This
new road is in many particulars ahead
of ony of its older competitors, and will
undoubtedly be the popular road to
Chicago.

They Endorsed Cleveland.

Several days ago there appeared in
our telegraph columns an account of the
reunion of the survivors of Quantrell's
guerilla band at Blue Springs, Missouri.
A correspondent of the Kansas City
Times furnished his paper with the pro-
ceedings of the meeting, and the paper
likewise gave to the associated press a
meager account of the reunion, but fail
ed to state before adjourning that the
band of ex-bushwhackers passed resolu-
lions endorsing the administration of
President Cleveland.
1t must be very gratifying to the pres
ident to know that he has the ap-
proval of the gang of cut-throats and
outlaws whose::name has long been a
synonym for all that has been fiendish
in human nature.
The remnants of that gang of bloody
outlaws are all Democrats and have
been since the time when they were en-
gagged in butcheriDg innocent women
and children in the border towns of
| Kansas.
While it is not true that every Dem
ocrat is cut-throat and a guerilla, it
is true, to the shame and disgrace of
the Democratic party, that every bush
whacker, every guerilla, every outlaw,
who fought under the black flag of
fiendish cruelty, was and is a Demo

Laughing at an Outrage,

South Cardinals negroes cannot read
well enough to put their ballots in the
proper boxes, hence they are disfran-
chised!-[Abilene Gazette.
The leading Democratic paper in
Kansas, or the one claiming to be such,
speaks the truth with unusual accuracy,
but does so because it regards the dis
franchising of the majority of the men
upon whom the United States has con-
ferred the right to vote as joke. And
we may add that if eight ballot boxes
were placed in row, in each of which
the ballots for the different officers
voted for must be deposited or lost, it
might trouble a great many Kansas
Democrats to get their ballots where
they would be counted. The eight-boX
scheme in South Carolina was designed
to defraud voters of their votes, because
the law creating the system makes the
ballot null if it is not deposited in the
right box. The whole scheme, we re-
peat, is legislative conspiracy against
the suffrage conferred by the constitu-
ton of the United States; and that
conspiracy receives the silent sanction
of the Democratic party in the north.
More than that: Through the agency
of the conspiracy to disfranchise humid
reds of thousands of voters and to
nullify the constitution of the United
States, the Democratic party is in
power, and the House of Representa-
tives, which is Democratic through this
conspiracy, is considering matter
which discriminates against northern
industries in the supposed interest of
the south and to the certain advantage
of the foreign competitors of American
labor and enterprise.
And yet, Democratic paper in the
State of Kansas, the State which the
north rescued from the pollution of
slavery, chuckles over this overthrow
of suffrage and this robbery of voters of
their citizenship as an excellent joke,
and shouts in Blair derision: Let the
educational bill be passed.
Comment can add nothing to the
responsiveness of the spirit which the
Gazette expresses in its three line par
agIaph, which will do as a motto for
the black flag of the party of political
piracy in the south, to which the Ga
zette belongs-[Leavenworth Times.
