Col. Cumback,s Memoris. Address.

Hon. Will Cumback delivered the address on
Decoration day at the Milwaukee National Sol.
diers Home. The Sentinel says:
Mr.. Cumback delivered an eloquent address.
After paying fitting tribute to the heroes in
memory of whose services the day was set apart,
Col. Cumback criticised certain political tenden-
cies of the day very freely. He declared the
danger Of the Republic to lie in the ignorance Of
the masses, led on by designing demagogues and
professional politicians. He said that the vir-
tues of the fathers Of &c and the heroes Of the
war for the Union must inspire men to a more
patient endurance of the ills of life. He very
sharply censured the growing feeling among
the so-called 'better class" of citizens, which
made them refuse TO enter what they scornfully
called ''the dirty pool of political The safety
OF the Nation imperativelv demanded that the
intelligent. enlightened and cultivated portion
of the people should take a sharp and active in
terest in public affairs. The greatest need OF
this country and of the world was In an i'm
proved type of manhood.
Colonel Cumback's address was full Of elo-
quent sentences and sharp thrusts at the public
and political abuses of the day, and he was fre-
quently interrupted by applause.

Six justices of the peace are still looking for

by the people feel that they have been greatly
wronged. but they are at loss to know how to
get rid Of the sixth man. The County Com mis-
sioners have notified Sheriff King to receive no
more prisoners from Squire Judkins. but the
order is not interfering with the 'Squire's bust
