The Detroit Tribuue's editorial regardil

The Detroit Tributes editorial regarding
''sapless issues" is an ideal position which
tire present unregenerated condition of the
democratic party forbids the republicans as
suming. When Cleveland proposed to give
back the southern flags, should we remain
silent? When fraud. violence and ballot
box stuffing are made the practices of de-
mocracy i'm the southern states shall no OBJ
lection be raised? Just as soon as these
evils are removed, the index finger of the
republican party will no longer be directed
toward them. If this be bloody shirt, make
the most OF it.

a large crowd gathered at St. Rose,

of Lakeville lecture on St.Patrick. Aft
er explaining the condition of affairs in
Europe previous to the conversion of Ire
land from barbarism, he begun with the
birth of St. Patrick in France (then
GauD in the year 3S7. He eloquently
portrayed the life of Patrick up to his
10th year, when he was taken a captive
to the country he was destined to con-
vert and there subjected to insult and
suffering of various kinds for six long
years. His final escape and return to his
native home; his revelations and prepar-
alton for the ministry: his ordination at
Rome his return to Ireland as mission
airy and his wonderful success in con-
verting.his former captOrs to Chriatiani-
tywere clearly and eloquently portrayed
No other country can point to its history
with such pride as Ireland during the
300 years following the labors of its
patron saint. OF no country but Ireland
can it be said that the Gospel of Christ
was planted without the loss of human
life. England's persecution of Ireland
during the reign of Henry Elizabeth,
James, Charles, and Cromwell were
next referred to. O'Connell's service was
also kindly remembered. Father Bannon
concluded by saying that otherO'Connells
were springing up and he hoped that
sympathy for Ireland. would always
burn brightly in the hearts of the de-
scendants of the Irish race. He hoped
the day was not far distant when the
green flag would again float free DER

II. B. Dikeman,

Though not entirely unexpected, the
death of Henry B. Dikeman, Wednesday
evening, sent pang of sorrow and re-
greet to the hearts of all. Mr. Dikeman
had been sick but little more than a week
with that fatal disease, pneumonia, but
had from the first grown worse so rap
idly that trained nurse and the best,
medical talent had been hastily summon
ed to aid the local physicians in doing
all in mortal power to check the course
ofsthe disease and save the life of the
sufferer. Wednesday morning, it was
seen that he was sinking and, as the day
advanced, it became evident that death
was near and could, at least, be stayed
but few hours. In the early evening,
almost before dusk had given place to
darkness, he passed away; 1.-THE earth
was changed to its earth again and the
spirit returned to the God who gave it.
Henry B. Dikeman, one Of the most
highly esteemed men of his generation
in Newtown, was about go years of age
a native and life long resident of this
town. Devoted his life to farming per-
suits, he has met with success and
by energy and well directed labors
acquired moderate competence. He was
Il constant attendant and consistent
member of Trinity church; man whose
kindliness of heart and thorough integri-
ty and uprightness of character were moi
only craven on his heart, but shown
forth in daily life. Not prominent in
public affairs, caring little for the plaud-
its of men, he was devoted to his home
it's friends and associations and his loss
will fall with crushing force upon the
members of his household. 70 them
the sympathies of the community, of the
town, go out in heartfelt warmth. Be
sides wife and two daughters. Misses
Julia and Lille, Mr. Dikeman leaves q
