rHF SOLDIERS AND PRESIDENT

THE SOLDIERS AND PRESIDENT.
Pitts Com. Gazette.
The veterans assembled at Columbus
are being robuked by some of the press
because a number of them expressed
their disapprobation Of the President 5
course towards the soldiers as a class by
kissing when a telegram was read from
him announcing that he could not at
tend the encampment pursuant to their
invitation. 1t is not at all strange that,
considering the circumstances, the read
ing of the dispatch should have pro-
voked manifestations of diSapproval.
The telegram set forth that 1.-The invita-
ton had been received some time ago,
but that it had been mislaid by his see
retarv, and he therefore used the wire to
| express his regrets for nOn-attendance."
This would strike almost every person
as a very lame excuse. 1t showed a
carelessneSs on the part of the Presidents S
secretary that was wholly inexcusable.
But the fact was aScertained, on inquiry,
that no invitation had been sent to the
President to attend the encampment by
any one authorized to speak for the or
der, and hence the conclusion is that the
President had been made the victim OF
a practical joke that cannot be too Sc
verely reprehended.
The soldiers have suffered much at
the hands of the President, and it is not
4 - -l,o Of ID+
press their disapprobation at every Op-
portunity. 1t would have been more
seemly, perhaps, if they had been able
to nurse their indignation until election
day, not because Mr.. Cleveland does not
deserve their censure, but simply be-
cause he is shielded by considerations
for the high Office which he fills. The
proper time and place for getting even
with Mr.. Cleveland is at the ballot box
in November next.

The last four years have enabled the
voters to see what the Democratic party
actually is. Men who never can read
history, or if they read cannot get at the
meat of it, see daily events and under
stand them. They take look every
day at the sort of men who hang round
the post-Offices and other places held by
the party in power. They read enough
of the story of current events to know
what sort of men have been selected for
| important places of trust. They know
that Garland is in the Cabinet and La
mar on the Supreme Bench. They know
that appropriations are larger under
this Administration of sham economy
than ever before. They know that the
foreign interests and honor of the coun-
try are being recklessly and madly risk
ed in the game of partisanship. They
know that every year the party in pow
er under the control of fanatical South
ern Free Traders has threatened and
disordered the industries of the whole
Nation, in its desperate efforts to over
turn a system which has made the
growth and prosperity of the United
States the wonder of the world. Hav-
ing seen Democracy tried, they are dis
gusted. That is the meaning of the re-
turns thus far, and it is likely to be the
meaning of the returns in November

ORDINARY rivers run small at the be

ORDINARY rivers run small at the be-
ginning, grow broader and broader as
they proceed, and become widest and
deepest at the point where they enter
the sea. 1t is such rivers as the Chris
tian's life is like. But the life of the
mere worldly man is like those rivers in
Southern Africa, which proceeding from
mountain freshets, are broad and deep
at the beginning, and grow narrower and
more shallow as they advance. They
waste themselves by soaking into the
sands, and at last they die out entirely.
The farther they run, the less there is
of them.

IT was said of Hannah More that
when she was told tale against anOth-
er of her village, her reply usually was,
''COme, we will go and ask if that be
true" The effect was something Won
derful. The tale-bearer would begin to
say, well, perhaps there might have
been a mistake" and to beg that no no.
tice be taken of the matter. But no;
the good lady would go there and then,
taking the scandal-monger with her, to
make inquiry and compare accounts. If
all tale-bearerS could be treated in this
way how few tales would be told!

THE real security of Christianity is to
be found in its benevolent morality, in
its exquisite adaptation to the human
heart, in the facility with which its
scheme accommodates itself to the ca
pacity of every human intellect, in the
consolation which it bears to every house
of mourning, in the light with which
it brightens the great mystery of the
grave.

BE not too anxious for the few things
that life requires; youth is flying rapidly
past and beauty is vanishing, while with
cred age puts to fight amorous play and
gentle sleep. The flowers of spring dc
not retain their bloom, nor does the rud-

luster; why then, o man, dost thou dis
quiet thyself forever with schemes that
are far beyond the power of man?

MEN say their pinnacles point to heav-
en-. Why, so does every tree that buds,
and every bird that rises as it sings.
Men say their aisles are good for wor-

and rough seashore. But this they have
of distinct and indisputable glory, that
their mighty walls were never raised,
and never shall be, but by men who
love and aid each other in their weakness.

THE mere reality of life would be in

but lends much Oftener to the illusions
it calls up gay fiattering hue than one

\ LITTLE knowledge leads the mind
from God. Unripe thinkers use their
