Gen. Sheridan died at
Nonquitt, Mass, at 1920 Sunday |
evening.
1t has been frequently re-
marked that Getty Improve
ment" ticket WAS elected at our
recent city election.
The remark is quite COM
mon that the "City Improvement"
council has done less improving
than any city council we have ever
had.
-Kirksville has reached that
progressive age when nothing but
electric lights will give satisfac-
ton. The City improvement
council should see that this want
is satisfied.
We wonder if the town
councilmen who were elected on
the "City Improvement Ticket,
could not devise some means to
have the remainder of the square
macadamized: also the streets
leading to each depot. Any move
ment of this kind will have the
hearty support of our business
men.
Mrs Langtry and her hus-
band have at last come to an
agreement. He is to have $780,
600 on condition that we will con-
sent to a divorce, which will
permit the Lily to mary Freddie
Gebhart. Freddie foots the bill.
He is determined to have one rare
plant in his hot house regardless
of cost.
Gen. Endes, the communist
leader of Paris, died of appoplexy
Sunday while addressing a crowd
of strikers. If Grottkau, Curlin,
Hepp, Mrs Parsons and sever al
others could have passed a.
Way in the same manner, while
addressing the anarchists In
Sheffield Park, Indiana, the same
day, it would no doubt save this
country considerable expense for
rope and scaffold.
Gen. Phil. Sheridan is dead
and again the nation is in mourn
ing Cor one of her bravest defend
ers. To sucL men as Sheridan and
the soldiers who followed them
our nation owes It's existence, and
with their passing away we turn
to the old flag with deeper rev
erence, and bless its starry folds,
because its triumphs, through
them, have permitted us to behold
the dawning of new day SO fruit
full of hope and rich in promise.
Many seem to think that
there is little manufacturing dohe
in the west, and the west therefore
should have little interest in pro-
lection. We invite the attention
of such TO the following statement:
Missouri contains over 10000 man.
ufacturing establishments, which
furnish employment for about
10000 persons The capital en-
ployed is about S2O0,0O0,0O0. The
material annually used and worked
ND amounts to S300,000,000 and
the products put upon the market
amounts to $500,000,000 while The
wages paid is nearly 100000,

To the Editor of TIE Dispatch;
The article in today's State signed

gesting that the gas-meters be taken out

idea, and as business proposition should
be adopted forthwith. Those having the
matter in charge should demand that

trieity. II the latter. oil right, but the
meters should be at once taken away and
used where gas only viii be consumed,
and thus q two.fold object will be gained.
You will stop the great reduction IN the

The Flae incident.

The Philadelphia Press Of Monday re-
ports the following as the speech in part
OF Colonel w. j. Parkinson, made at
the banquet Of the Seventh Regiment
Veteran Association, held at the Metro
poliRn Hotel, that city, Saturday eve
ming. October 9th:
1.-The supreme lesson Of this occasion
is to inspire in ell hearts present greater
respect for and devotion to our country
and its flag. And that people and that
party. as we'll as that individual citizen,
who best appreciate this fact as being the
highest inspiration OF American citizen
ship is the people, party. or citizen most
worthy Of confidence and support OF the
people Of this country. There is but
one flag in this country, and that the Stars
and Stripes, and any effort to belittle
thst emblem or make il secondary to sny
other should, and believe viii, receive
the condemnation Of the whole people.
"Even the unwilling OF a monument
10 the memory OF q distinguished Con-
foderete soldier ia not sufficient excuse
for, nor is such an occasion or any other
On appropriate one on which 10 display
a rebel flag to the disparagement OF the
glorious ensign OF our now prosperous,
happy, and united country, and the
effort to do this IS shown in the city OF
Richmond on Friday last is mark of
disrespect, if not an insult, to the Stars
and Stripes that should be rebuked by
the loyal citizens OF this country. There
ia no rebel flag in America. Ii WAS bu-
ried under 100000 Of the noblest lives
this nation ever saw, and any public dis
play OF it serves but to prove that the
great lesson Of the late war-viz., that
there is but one country and one flag In
the United States-is not yet fully appre-
ciated by all the people. Why do we
honor that grand old man who honors
You by his presence here to-night-tbe
immortal Sherman?
"Not because Of his birth, not be-
cause Of his ancestors. not because OF
his native State, but because of the sac
rifices he made and the glorious veto
ries he won in defence OF his country
and his country's flag. And why do We
honor all these old veterans and the vet
Grams Of our country everywhere but for
the same reason Then letu as soldiers
and az citizens be devoted to the flag,
and if any man attempts to haul that
flag down or insults it,, in the language
of New Yorks distinguished citizen and
soldier, General John A. Dix, 'shoot
him on the spot, and this is not bloody
shirtism, but simply the loyal American
citizens duty"

II will surprise good many persons
to learn that in the North american
Review for October an East Indian tells
why he prefers the social system of his
country to that of Europe and America.
He argues forcibly and earnestly in favor
of the seclusion OF women and in favor
of early marriages He says epigram-
matically that in our civilization love
wakes before marriage and wanes after,
whist in the East love begins only after
marriage and constantly wakes.

to the Tuesday after the first Monday in

And then your elections would all be
under the supervision of Federal super
yisors and Federal deputy marshals. In

your elections in October. Elections are

TAzEwRLL COURTHOUSE, !
October 8, 1888.
The Tazewell Fail was a great success,
except there were too many people in
attendance. The hotels and private
houses were crowded to their utmost ca
pacity, and yet about 200 people went
back on the train for want of accommO-
dation. The stock and racing were both
better than We have had for years, but
the exhibit in the ladies department was
failure, from the fact that no premiums
were offered.
The trial of Alfred Coburn, for the
murder Of James Hessler at Pocahontas
few months ago, resulted in verdict
of eighteen years, which is regarded Is
exceedingly ienient for the prisoner.

Magnificent Success in Northumber-

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatchl
RICHMOND COUNTY, Oct 5. 1888.
The barbecue at Union Village, North
cumberland county, was splendid sue
cess to-day. An immense and enthusi-
astic concourse OF people assembled
from the counties of Richmond, West
moreland, Northumberland, and Ian
caster. The ladies were out in full
force and with magnificent effect.
The greatest attention was paid to Hon.
John T. Harris, elector at large, and
4. Il. b. Wright, district elector, who
addressed the large crowd, and the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed.
T. h. B. Wright, district elector, in be
half of the people of the Northern Neck,
returned thanks to Hon. John 4. Har-
ris, who has flashed like a meteor
through this district, for his magnih-
cent speeches, and proposed three cheers
for Cleveland, Thurman, Kendall,
and John 7. Harris. which were vociier-
ously given by the multitude and which
made the welkin ring. SPECTATOR.
