he took the floor and made a splendid
speech. He spoke of what the
soldiers lost i'm the way of school and
college training by going into the
army, but he believed that they gain
ed lessons that went far to compensate
for such loss. They learned the les
sons of unquestioning obedience to or
ders, of contenting themselves with
hard fare if no better could be had
and of self-reliance and self-control
These were lessons that were drilled

The Judge spoke in this strain fol

evening, when Drs. Humphrey and
Porter and Rev. Wenn, of Erie, the
latter having been a missionary among
the Cboctaw Indians for four years
gave interesting talks. Resolutions
of sympathy and coincidence were
passed and ordered to be communicate

A glance over the statistical roll
lately complied by the county clerk is
calculated to make a man exceeding
weary who is hunting for figures to
put together into "boom" article
What Is fellow to think for example,
when he finds that Carlyle township
has, all told, 46i acres of corn, So acres
of oats, LIB acres of flax, and acres OF
clover? That is a little the worst, per-
haps, but i'm a good many other town.
ships it is nearly as bad. Salem is the
only one we believe that shows up
with q full report from every farmer,
Ialthough MarInaton comes very near
it. Taken altogether, however, the
statistics are so scant and inaccurate
that they are absolutely valueless.
Which leads us to remark that the
attempt to gather them should either
be abandoned altogether, or else full
report made compulsory. The thing
is simply a farce as now carried on,
and very expensive one too.
We do not suppose any one will get
out an injunction to restrain the dis
charge of fireworks within the city
limits on the Fourth of July; but on

last year. Nobody would object seri-
ously to a bell at midnight, or to an
anvil salute at sunrise. But it is an
altogether needless and uncalled for
outrage that boys should be permitted
to parade up and down the streets all
night long, beating drums and GYM
balls and blowing horns, making sleep

TnE LOLA REGrsrEE, publishing ordinance
The ordinance elsewhere published
was passed. An ordinance fixing the
fees of the city attorney was also pass
ed, but the Mayor withholds his APP

the matter of compelling the railway
companies to enlarge their water ways
within the city limits, and several
minor matters were referred to the
proper committees.
Mr.. Oscar Foust informs us that he
is a candidate for Congress. Even if
he should carry this county-which, of
course, We regard as out of the ques-
tion-it would be impossible for him
to secure the nomination because, to
mention no other reason, the office
will not be allowed to come to two Al
