MEMORIAL DAY.-Mcmorial Day
was properly and fittingly observed
in this place last Friday. The city
was gaily decorated with flags and
bunting. A pretty feature of the
parade were the little girls at the
head of the column of old veterans.
After marching around the streets
of the town the procession proceeded
to the old graveyard, where the
graves of the Union and Confeder-
ate soldiers were strewn with flow
ers. Speeches were made by Maj.
j. G. Downtain, Hon. III. r. How
ard, Col. John A. Gibbons, and 9th
ers. The parade was one of the
best ever seen here on such an &C.
casion.

The new silver bill which went
into effect in the middle of August
is a long stride in the right direc.
ton, although it falls far short Of
the measure as it was first intro
duced into Congressional halls,
supported by the national Demo-
crazy, strongly backed up by the
Farmers Alliance and other In
dustrial orders. At State con-
vention of the Democrats of In
diana, held on August 28th, q strong
resolution was adopted, denouncing
the recently enacted silver bill as
IAN ignominious surrender to the
money power" and demanding the
'free and unrestricted coinage of
silver upon the basis existing prior
to 1873" This measure, like the
tariff, force election, alien owner,
railroad franchise, fractional cur
rency, gambling in futures, aboli-
ton of national banks, and other
State and national Democratic
planks, can be consistently sup
ported by our farmers. and we be-
speak their hearty cooperation.

Don't Waste Your Vote.

With vehemence that is too
violent to be logical, our young
friend A. j. Dunn jumps into the
political arena and proceeds to an
initiate this editor-in his mind.
His letter is printed in full, not
that there is any real interes. or
benefit to be derived from it by the
public, but that It's very incon-
sistencies serve to sustain and
strengthen our position against the
sub-treasury bill, and in this way it
may do some good. Two minutes
of earnest reasoning ought to con-
vince Mr.. Dunn that if we thought
there was the least chance of this
measure being made a law we would
support it and contend for it with
our utmost zeal. Our position is
not against the farmers making de-
mands, for they have rights that
have been previously violated, and
we are with them heart and soul to
enforce their demands for redress;
but common sense and reason
teaches US that it is not to be effec-
ted by the sub-treasury plan. tits
too inconsistent to inveigh against
monopoly, and seek shelter in a |
monopolistic corner in the same |
breath. All of our personal inter-
ests would be served by the adop- |
ton of the warehouse plan, and we
would expect to deposit equally as
much cotton as the average farmer
Of the country; but, unfortunately
for ourselves and for our farmer
friends, the thing is impracticable
and altogether impossible; and, as
much as we would be pleased and |
benefited by the so per cent loan
'r advance on cotton, we cannot af-
ord to advocate measure SO Chi
nerical and unfeasible. Show as
! possibility for the success of the
ub-treasury plan, or anything of a
ike nature, and we are with you;

states constitution to be the India

The Toad and the Duke of Wellington.
tThe spectatorl

Short Cuts has unearthed peculiarly de-
lightful letter OF the Duke OF Wellington's
which runs as follows: Strathfeldsaye,
July 81, 1837.-Field Marshal the Duke Of
wellington is happy to inform William
Harries that his toad is alive and we'll"
During one of his country walks the
Duke found little boy lying on the
ground, bending his head over tame
toad, and crying as If his heart would
break. On being asked what was the mat
ter the child explained that he was crying
" for his poor toad" He brought it some
thing to cat every morning, but he was
now to be sent away to school long dis
lance of. and he was afraid that nobody
else would give it anything to eat. and that
IL would die. The Duke, however. con-
soled him by saying that he would himself
see the toad well fed, and by further
promising TO let the boy hear ss to ITS
welfare. During the time the boy
was away at school he received no less
than five autograph letter similar to that
given above, and when he returned for
he Christmas holidays the toad was still
alive to gladden. his heart. The story is
even more delightful than that of the
Duke's indignation when he found that Q
party of children at Strathfieldsaye-
among whom, we believe, was the present
Prime Minister-were having tea without
lam. The incident reused him to imme-
date action. and he at once rang the bell
and issued general order that "children's
taa - was never to DO served in his house
