The monuments now being erected there
TO mark the position Of our regiments in

soldiers on every field.
Memory and reverence for their battle

shall come. as they go.
Knowing the loyalty OF our people. their
willingness 10 add blessings for their
children and to associate with them, lofty
and patriotic sentiments, do hereby ap.,
point Friday, April Goth as Michigan's
Arbor day.
And may the trees planted upon that
day be in memory of and as monuments 10
the brave defenders of our nation.
Let the resting place Of the sleeping
ones. whether known or unknown. be un-
forgotten; and those who yet remainin the
broken ranks and live with lessening life
be remembered.
This done, and when the last veteran
has gone, when century or more shall
have passed, historic monuments shall
beautify our State and breath 10 the gene,
ratons that rest IN their shadows, of sac
rifice, patriotism and the price Of liberty.
In testimony whereof I have hereunte

"FIIE DYING CHAMPIONS"

The Augusta Chronicle Is impclled to re-
mark thus upon the dying condition of
Roscoe Conkling and the failing strength
of James G. Blaine
"Tbe illness of Roscoe Conkling in New
York recalls the fact that another conspi-
cuous figure in national politics is fast fail
ing, and that before the year is closed
James G. Blaine will be no more. Latest
adviccs from Europe, through medical
sources, leave no doubt that the Maine
statesman is dying from diabetes. He has
lost flesh heavily of late, and looks old and
infirm. 1t Is said that Mr. Blaine is i'm
pressed with the belief that he Is going to
die, and his friends admit that he has failed
very rapidly this winter. In the past
twenty years no men have had greater part
In moulding public affairs. Each was
elected to Congress during the war, and
both made distinguished records in the up.
per and lower houses Of Congress. Conk-
ling was naughty and impcrous, but
learned, logical and copcnt. Blaine has
been atfable, popular, eloquent and mag
netic. Naturally, they have been rivals
and are now enemies, Blaine contriving
always to humiliate and nettlc Conkling,
while the great New Yorker has twice
managed to block his rivals nomination to
the Presidency in his party, and, when vic
WI y "oc uiIllool "llhlu Ills grasp, lnGCW
New York State to Cleveland by the solid
vote of Oneida.
Both are now out of politics. Blaine
forced Conkling from the Senate, and
Conkling knitted Blaine in the last national
race. Neither will ever resume his place
in the councils of the party-where each
has fought with giant-like abilities. 1t
may be said of Blaine that no party ever
worshipped man so closely or continu
ously since the days of Henry Clay 1t may
be said of Conkling that no breath of dis
honesty ever attainted his name or clogged
his career. A statesman with Blainc's
temperament and Conkling's character
might revive even the dropping destinics
of the Republican party, which seems now
about to lose the abilities of both and to be
near its own hour Of dissolution.
''What a leveller, what power of peace
making has impending death! The two
gladiators have dropped their weapons and
ceased their hostile designs An ocean
rolls Ii ke eternity between them. One of
these, in sunny italy, sees his life ebb
slowly out like the tide of the Vesuvian
bay; the other walks the room in his de-
lirium and feels the volcano itself burning
in his brain. In a little while both shall
sleep in the flower crypts and under the
blue vaults of old New England"

Mary Smith who has kept house for John
and Henry Hill, farmers near Jamestown,
KY, came to a neighbos's yesterday and
said she had fled from them for her life.
Three weeks ago they had killed two ped
dlers, forcing her to hold them. BY threats
Of death they had kept her silent. Now
they were talking of killing her anyhow to
be entirely secure. Two weeks ago hogs
were found eating human remains near the
Hill farm, and later the remains of the
peddlers were discovered in a cave. The
Hills were lodged In Jail at Jamestown.
w. Alston, farmer living near Weather
ford, Texas, killed his daughter Monday.
s. w. Turpin, a merchant, had courted

Turpin if his daughter married him. On

companions, drove up to Alstons house.
The two men held Alston while Turpin
placed the girl in buggy and drove off.
The next day they were married. Alston
went to see them Monday, and his daugh-
ter told him that she had planned the
elopement. Alston, who was greatly an

The Supreme Court Of the United States
yesterday decided that State Legislature
can legislate upon matters pertaining to the
public health, even though such legislation
may destroy what has hitherto been consid-
cred legitimate business. The decision
was upon the validity of the Pennsylvania
statute making it unlawful for any person
to manufacture or sell any imitation of
buttet or cheese The court held that the
act was valid; that the Legislature has an
undoubted right TO suppress the sale or
manufacture of any article it may regard
as prcjudicial to the health Of the public.
Judge Harlan, who read the decision of
the court, held that it was not necessary to
inquire whether the act was wise or other
wise. That is matter for the people who
elect legislatures to determine. Whatever
may re thought of the wisdom or propriety
of the legislation in dispute, there can be
no question about the right of the State
Legislature to enact it and the decision of
| the court is in line with many others up
holding the power of the State to regulate
| its own affairs. hiladclphia Times, 10th.

Tho Festive Knight OF the Grim

Do you know that there are about
SO, 600 commercial travellers in the United
States? Surprised to hear it2 Yes, most
people are when they are told of it, but
it's fact, nevertheless. You may also
be surprised to learn that every one of
them spends on an average So, 900 O
year, or a total of $240, ,00O,0 900. If you
add to this their salaries, averaging at
least 81, 200, you have total expendi-
ture by commercial travellers of $780,
600, 900 year. This is naturally spent
in all parts Of the country, but the hotels
and railroads get the lions share of it.
During the last ten years there has been
great change in the character of the
commercial traveller. The old Bohemian
type has almost entirely disappeared
from the road, and drinking men are
much more rarely met with there than
formerly.--Jewelers' Weekly.
