Hon. ID. B. Lucas nomination is
rather unfavorably commented
upon by some of the Democratic
papers, aud many Of the Democratic
leaders themselves regard it as a
necessity rather than choice. Their
hope of his election is based more
on policy than desire, and it took all
the persuasive eloquence of those in
power to keep the motto of party
harmony from being trampled under
foot at the Grafton convention. A
collection of anti.Lucas articles in
the Democratic papers during the
E" kicking session of the Legislature
would make consoliug campaign

ALL HONOR TO M'KINLEY.

Major William Mckinley deserves the thanks of
every soldier and the praise of every patriot for his
manly ana courageous opposition to General Buffers
demagogue plea at Boston for more pensions.
The soldiers who saved the Union are neither pau.
pers nor parasites. Out of the army's rough school
ing they returned to civil life ready tor all its contests
and in it they have been since winning tru mphs
in every field. 1t said of Cromwell's army that
for a generation wherever there was a man faithful
above his fellows there to be Puritan troop.
err 1t has been true for quarter of a century in
our own land that no million men ever gave the ma.
ton so many sons of high and useful service in peace
as the men who were disbanded at the close of the
war. Officers and men together their national service
and their PERSONAL success since the war have only
been exceeded by their matchless record in the war;
We do not wonder that such men are moved to
indignant protest when every gathering to celebrate
the past is made the scene of plea for pensions
General Hawley protested in the Senate. General
Barlow has entered his indignant disclaimer in pub
shed letter. and every brave that wore the blue
will applaud Major McKinley's prompt and emphatic
denial that the soldier measured his past sacrifices Inv
present rewards. General Butler is wrong Major
Mckinley is right. The soldiers of the war are not
pressing constant plea for more money from the
Treasury.
The Republic has solemny coyenanted to leave no
soldier in the poorhouse and to suffer no parent or
wife, or child dependent on him to come to want. No
country ever before shoudered such debt and none
before ever had better men to pay higher service to
requIte For the rest, far from deeming
cheated because they paid no more in money: so

breadth OF the nation who would give up his relation

For THE HERALD.
In MEM0RIAM.

1t was my sad pleasure to be present
at the Baptist Church yesterday at
the funeral service of the young lady
who came to her death by being
thrown from a carriage, Sunday eve
ming, Aug, 10. 1t was an affecting
service, many tears were shed while
Rev. Robertson spoke, with much
pathos, of the brief, fieeting life, and
beautiful character of the dear depart
ed one. A large concourse, most of
whom were young people, was present.
Touching and beautiful and various
were the floral offerings arranged by
deft and beautiful fingers, and offered
with tears. Upon one of them, writ
ten in neat and delicate hand were the
touching words:
''She was but as smile
Which glistens in a tear,
Seen but little while,
But o, how loved, how dear
Signed, Compliments of Maggie
Cippel. A lovely wreath at the head of
the grave bore the inscription From
Miss Frances Mccoy, Williamsport. 1t
was with deep and touching interest l
note the tribute to her memory, which I
hope y GU will publish.
A stranger stood by a new-made grave
Over the Hill, "by the morning sun,
A lovely spot where the elms wave,
As the zephyr passes on.
The funeral cortege had turned away,
And the sexton, too, had gone
1t was the eve Of the burial day
When he stood there all alone.
The place was strewn with lovely flowers,
Dianthus and Geranium bloom.
Fresh and sweet with gentle showers,
Summer wept upon the tomb
O, who was so good. and pure, and fair,
Thatthey twined her many wreath
Who was the darling sleeper there
That sweetly slept in Death
l was touched BY the flowers bouquetted
there,
In cross and vase and wreath
By the untimely end OF the sleeper fair,
And the manner of her death
I" She is not dead I" but lives for ave
In brighter world than ours
The wreath they brought will soon
decay,
Hers are unfading flowers
Where Joy is full and pleasures thrill
The spirit DER and Ger,
Where the dews of life and love distiIl
She blooms to fade no more
+" God bless the hearts with sorrow
bowed ~
Was the prayer the stranger said,
p" God bless the tears of youth that
flowed
Over the lonely dead -
And bless the weepers, whose silent
tears
Fell down like gentle showers
o, If called like her, in early years,
May their graves be bright with
flowers w. Fl.

During the last campaign the
bagging trust created some feeling
in the South, and was widely used
as Democratic compaign thunder.
Jute bags then cost 90 cents a piece.
BY combining together, through
the high tariff on jute, the farmers
now raise material and manufacture
their own bagging at a cost of
cents piece. That's home protec-
ton and home industry that pays
well in America.
