He said he gloried in the old flag, and
honored the men, living or dead, who
had fought In Its defense.
He said that while the battle Of
Gettysburg was raging two women
who lived some distance from the
scene, but yet not SO far but they could
hear the heavy guns, engaged In con-
versation, whom one said to the other,
Your husband Ia In that battle and
will probably be killed. Now / have
my husband at home, and he is safe. y
The poor woman, whose husband
was battling for his country, although
nearly prostrated with grief, drew
We'll, he may be killed, but | would
rather be brave mans widow than
tho wife of,a coward" The speaker said
he honored the Grand Army because
the members had hound and cement
ed this Union in an indissoluble tie,
and when the Republic was down
placed 1t on Its feet again. He believ-
cd that every man who ever faced a
bullet should have pension, although
he knew there are great many who
do not think so,
The men that made the long, weari.
some marches, that suffered all the
privations Of campaigning, who stood
on the, lonely picket line, that gave
their health and sacrificed the best
years OF their lives for their country,
should every one be pensioned, and q
country that would not pension them
is not worth fighting for. He spoke
OF what the men endured in prison
pens, and how many who died could
have saved their own lives, by becom-
Ing traitors to their country. In clos
Ing he paid an eloquent tribute to
Grant, sherman, Sheridan, Logan,
Mead and other Union generals.
The exercises were closed by sing
Ing the doxology, and the benedletlon
by Department Chaplain Mccoy.
Among those who occupied seats on
the stage were Past Department Com
mander5 Ross, Wainwright, Ayars and
Lewis, Adjutant Stradley and Post Post
Commander Solomon.

The Illinois senafership.

The desperate struggle in the Hi
nois Legislature for the United States
Senatorship was closed Wednesday
by the election of General John NJ.
Palmer, the Democratic candidate.
1t has been full two months battle,
during which time the 1O1 Democrats
stood to Palmer with unfaltering
fidelity, while the three Farmers Al
lance members, who held the balance
ofpower, struggled to perfect an al
lance with the Republicans for the
election of Streeter, who was the I'm
ion Labor candidate for President in
1888.
Although General Palmer has
braved the frosts of nearly three
quarters of a century, he is yet Wig
orous and aggressive man, and he is
one of the ablest disputants in any
party in the West. For the first
time since the defeat of Lincoln in
1858 and the election of Douglas to
the Senate, Illinois has elected a
Democratic Senator. and he is one
who was foremost in Republican
leadership when Republicanism
meant honest government and res
pect for the popular will.-Philadel-
phia Times.

1t isn't life.s purple and god, dear,
That makes it best worth living;
Not always the very costIiest gifts
Are dear est and best worth giving;
The heart that beats in truest time
With the music of creation,
Is happier far than his whose will.
Can make or mar a nation.
The little sunny CLEANS that prove
Our dark clouds hopeful lining
Are brighter, dear, than if we had
Walked always in the shining,
do not think God loves us less,
Or frowns on us hereafter
Because we cover up a sigh
With single hearted laughter.
There is no heart SO poor but gives,
If it but will, treasure
Richer than any kings may own,
Greater than time can measure,
No life can e'er be poor and cold,
Or craving some new blessing,
That hath and holdeth fairy gold,
Loves gracious self possessing.
Love sotndeth depths that none lay rea
With any common plummet,
II leadeth up to nights beyond
This work day life's smmit,
A little tender, human love,
Just at the right time given,
Gees far to make this sad old earth
Seem like piece of Heaven.

We are already familiar with the
practical effect of the tin plate clause
on the canning business, and now
the New York Herald points out that
the clause admitting free molasses
for making sugar known as ''boiling
molasses," will have . damaging eff

sugar, by exposing them to the COM

and will also entail a change in
transportation from sailing vessels
to steamers. At present, a large
number of American vessels are en-
gagged in the trade, but the change
will throw into the hands of English
steamship owners, thus running an
important branch of our already
small merchant marine.

J. w. Carroll, of New York, claims
to be the owner of the third largest
diamond in the world. 1t weighs
lis carats and is valued at $40, 900.
The story runs that R. S. Lawrence,

passed into the hands of Edward

Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Com

Farmers of the Western and South
ern States have made movement to
organize huge farmers trust, with
which they say they propose to fight
the devel with fire. Of course a
great many are inclined to treat the
move as impracticable, but as the
Philadelphia Record says: "The
attempt to organize a huge grain
and live stock trust seems wild and
chimerical at a first view; yet the
petroleum, the dressed beef ano the
whisky trust were regarded as i'm
possibilities not so many years ago,
and the farmers trust may, like these
portentous monsters, belle the ex-
pectations and prophecies of econo-
mists.''
1t is estimated that the funeral of
Senator Hearst will cost the govern
ment 100000. The funeral of Sena-
tor Miller, of California. cost
$50, 1000, and that of Senator Beck, of
Kentucky, $4,000, while many other
Congressional funerals have drained
tho Treasury of extravagant sums.
The modus operandi is to get up
long funeral train of Pullman cars
filled with the friends of Senators ans
Congressman who desire free trip
with plenty of wine and high living
at the public expense. The most of
the participants cannot be consider
ed in any sense friends or even &C
quaintances of the deceased, and the
feasting on the way has no place in
any properly conducted funeral
journey.
