The Detroit Tribune, says: Gen.
Ayers action In declining the position
of president of the Grant and Lee
Monument and Park association at
Cumberland Gap, Tenn. probably a
private real estate speculation). will be
heartily approved by those who have
not forgotten that the rebellion was a
wicked. causeless war to destroy the
Republic. 1t would hardly be consis-
tent for the commander-in-chisf of the
Grand Army to place himself on rec
ord as thinking that Grant, who
fought to preserve the Union, and
Lee, who led the rebel armies seeking
its destruction, should stand on the
same level, entitled to equal honor. !"
General Alger is right. No old
soldier, If he takes the second thought
would wish to see the statue of Grant
on a pedestal with that of Lee, who
was both u traitor pejurer and Demo
crdt, and such a sight was witnessed
but once before in the Worlds history,
and that was when our Saviour was
crucified between two thieves.

1.-THE wool crop Of Michigan will be
larger this season than last said a
well known dealer the other day.
There are more sheep in the state to.
day than ever before and the size Of
the fleece is increasing. This Is due to
the better breeding of sheep. Farm
ers grow larger sheep and finer wooded
ones than they did formerly. A farm
err told me the other day that his sheep
paid better than any other depart
ment of his farm. He is man who
keeps an account with every field of
grain and with ali his stock. and he
knows Just what each department pays
best. He said that his sheep paid him
from 95 to 80 per cent net profits and
no other department would pay more
than one-half that. Grand Rapids

The Toledo Blade in speaking of the
new pension bill, says: The ten
thousand veterans who are now, TO
the shame OF the nation they served
30 well, inmates of poorhouses, will be
taken out of them by this bill; it will
give needed aid to thousands of otherJ
who have been broken down under
the stress of disease and old age; and
we rejoice that this much is to be
done. We cannot sympathize with
those who oppose this measure oil
justice, True, the bill is not a service
pension measure, and we are sorry II
is not; but we are heartily in favor oil
it as far as II goes. 1t accomplishes
something that ought to have been
done years ago.
Nor Is It going TO injure the progress
OF the service pension movement. A
service pension bill at the hands of
the present Congress is hopeless; II
has always been hopeless, AS can now
be plainly seen. But with this disa.
bility bill added to the pension laws
there will be no subterfuge that can
be used to hide opposition to service
pension. The cry has been, 1--WE must
provide for the old soldiers In the
poorhouses first" This provides for
them. There is no excuse now for
voting against service pension bill.
It's opponents will have to come ont
and define themselves before the
country.

Commencing Sunday, July 10, 1890, the
Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from st. Louis via Pleasant
Hill, Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
Geneseo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. This change
was made on account of great many peO-
pie from the east going to Colorado being
DESTROYS of going via Wichita. The train
will stop here two hours, giving all a
chance to view the Peerless Princess" and
still land passengers in Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City.
It also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Re
turning, it gives us through sleeping car
service Wichita toSt. Louis, and gives the
Colorado people chance to go east via
Wichita. This change will undoubtedly
be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens of Wichita. If
you are going east or west go via the pop
ular new through route. Through chair
and sleeping car service. New route just
completed between Fort Scott and Rich
Hill goes through the finest mineral and
agricultural country in the west. Don't
forget the new short line to st. Louis or

An Old Time Bachelors Club.

NEW HAVEN, July 2S-Bachelors are a
pretty old institution. Whether or no the
bachelors of prehistoric times were &C
customed to band together for mutual con-
solation-or congratulation, if you please
docs not appear, but bachelors clubs
were certainly known right here in Amer
lea in the early days of the present century.
Away back in the teens Of the Nine
teenth century Connecticut boosted
Bachelors club, and there may have BEEN
like organizations in other states. This
Yankee affair wasn't a very prctentious
one to be sure, but q good many of it's
mem ers turned out to be big men-and
all OF 'em turned out husbands, by the
way 1t was located in the backwoodS of
Holland county, in the northeastern part
of the state in the little town of Hebron.
There were thirty members, all sturdy
young fellows, ranging from 90 TO 30 years
Of age. The ruling spirit WIS John S.
Peters. who was the richest man in Hebron,
and who served as governor of Connect
cut in 1912. Peters had more claims to
fame than his craftsmanship of the Bach
elors' club, his wealth and his Guberna-
torial honors. He WIS son Of ''0id Sam
Peters," the Tory Clergyman, Who was
forced to fee to EnQlsnd in 1874. and
earned the undying hatred Of Nutmeg
state folk by merCilessly slaDfering his
fellow Yankees in his General History of
Connecticut" which he published in Eng
land. 1t was in this work OF revenge that
the suppositious fBlUe Laws Of Connect
CUT originsted.
