Windsor County Veterans Reunion
az Springfield.


Springfield, Vt, Aug. LIST, 1891.
This has
been great day for Springfield and she
has covered herself with honor in the way
she has cared for the old veterans. The
old vets, bands of music and others be-
gan to arrive here at an early hour this
morning. At 9 a. m. the streets were alive
with uniformed men with a constant
stream OF carriages filled with people pour
ing into the village on all the numerous
roads leading thereto, and at II O'Clock II
is estimated there were more people in
Springfield than ever at one time before.
Her streets and residences were decorated
with flags and bunting, to an extent never
before seen in Windsor Co. A look into
the town hall and vestry OF the Universal
list church disclosed long lines OF tables
literally loaded with eatables, great pans
and platters OF baked beans, meats, bread,
doughnuts, pies, cheese, etc, etc. The hall
was for the men and the vestry for their
wives and members of the Relief Corps.
The day was perfect, just cold enough and
just warm enough, just sun enough and
just clouds enough to insure great sue
cess and good time. The procession was
formed at 10 a. M, and the long line of
veterans, with their steady tramp to the
music of seven fine bands OF music, passed
along the principal streets and were look
ed upon by 5000 curious and interested
people. After the march and band review
the veterans marched TO the dinner tables
and there Toasted to their hearts content,
with verdict at the close OF "all right
Then came two hours OF social visiting,
followed by an assembly on the common
for the campfire After two hours of
speeches, music. stories and anecdotes
there ended one Of the most successful
and pleasant reunions the veterans have
ever seen. VET.

ABOUT THE CITY HALL.

The army of colored gentry that took pos-
session of the council chamber last week at
the Afro-American convention were, to say
the least, a very intelligent body of men,
The gentleman who occupied Tom Downs
old chair. when that ex-alderman was
member of the council, seemed disposed to
Elck against almost everything in sight His
friends wondered what could be the matter
with him. He is naturally of quiet disposi-
ton, and never showed his teeth before
Even the chair could do nothing with him.
and when 1t was learned that he was occupy
ing the chair that Tom Downs held down for
four years. the mystery was solved. Tom s
kicking propensities had evidently affected
the chair he sat in, for no sooner was it va
Gated than peace and harmony prevailed. 1t
would pay the city well to burn that chair.
There Is an old saying, and, in the case
about to be related, a very true one, viz: do
as say, not as do" This was never better
exemplfied than in the case of the city Just
now. Not long ago old Uncle Rufus Rob
erts, who presides over the city scales at the
east end of the city hall, succeeded in con-
vincing the committee on public grounds and
buildings that the Ike shanty he was then
occupying was too small; that the scales
were no good, and so the committee ordered
new house and scales. Sam Love, chair
man of the committee, superintended the
Jop, aud now it is almost completed. But it
will surprise Loye, as we'll as other
members OF the committee, to know that the
chimney in that building is not put up as re-
quired by the building ordinance of course.
the city Is paying for the work, but the build
ing inspector surely never granted permit
for chimney the foundation of which is
studding eight feet from the floor. Here is
where the old saying, do as 1 say, not as
do, comes in.
Capt. Bosworth. of The police department,
who has held down the Second precinct sta
ton for many years, is one of the pioneer
members of the force. He has done duty in
every particular line as Il member of the
force except in the position of chief, and for
that he is well qualified. His years of service
will soon number twenty, and, though he has
always been a hard-working man, still the
trying duties of police life have not yet told
on him 10 any great extent. He is a warm
hearted, generous, well-wishing man in ad-
dltlon to being most conservative officer.
Though he is total aostainer from tobacco,
as well as all intoxicating liquors, he is not a
crank, believing implicitly in the conviction
that all men should be treated alike and not
denied any of the rights and privileges grant
ed them under the constitution. Notwith-
standing this, he is a strict dIsciplinarian
but, as he has no favorites, his discipline has
good effect.

! Grafton of the graves was conducted by
details from Morgan, Butler, Plummer,
Schaeffer and Rawlins posts, Camps Nos.
4 and 3, Sons of Veterans. After prayer
by Rev. d. S. McCaslin an Grafton was
delivered by an orator, the striking
feature of which was his reference
to the pension question. He spoke
OF the obligation of the government,
the gratitude of the veteran and the at
tltude of the citizen. He called attention
III most touching manner to the rapid
depletion of the ranks of the G.. A. K.
as time goes on, and to the duty owed by
the survivors to those who are left de-
pendent upon them. He also pointed
proudly to the development of the coun-
try, its great resources and the heritage
OF free government handed down to
posterity through the sufferings and
sacrifices of the Union volunteers in the
war. Said he:
"The issues of war are settled"
"History has set its judgment upon
them, and the Union arms and the
Union cause are vindicated. The on
ward march of civilization, the influx of
immigration, the birth of new genera
tion now entering manhood, the impulse
of our country's mighty development.
the outreach into other countries for our
products and output, all conspire to
push the war of the rebellion into the
shadows where rest the war of the
revolution, the Wars of the Roses, and
the sanguinary conflicts of the dark and
spectral past"
We are confronted with the newborn
hone and aspirations of the new genera
ton. Speaking OF the G. A. r. and its
aims the speaker said: "Our views have
been heard in season and out of season
to keep the veteran out of almsEouses.
Perhaps to-day, in many details, enough
has not yet been DONE" He then pro-
ceeded to show that even be-
yond the. recognition of service,
mere disability or dependence
the United States had showed gratitude
to the veteran, and in support of this
set forth the recent pension legislation.
lie then proceeded to say that the vet
Grams must take a practical view of the
situation. He did not believe that the
government owed every veteran a liy-
ing. The veteran should earn his living
cheerfully as every one else, if able to
do so. But if he were not able to earn
his living, then he should be cared for.
In closing he said: "Our comrades are
our sacred charge. We who are strong
are bound to protect the weak. The
strong may take care of themselves"
Special services were also held at the
grave of Gen. George Morgan, Chaplain
Pillsbury officiating and Judge William
Lochren delivering brief address.

Outline of the Decoration
Day Observance at Min
neapolis Yesterday.
The Ceremonies at the Sew
epal Cemeteries--The
Procession.

The observance of Decoration day
yesterday was more elaborate than is
customary, perhaps; at least, circum-
stances conspired TO make the pro-
gramme of arrangements a complete
success. The day was perfect, and
there was a large turnout, not only of
the members of the q. A. r., the Wom-
ans Relief Corps, the Sous and Daugh-
ters of Veterans, but of the militia,
civic societies, city officials and people
generally. In the morning the graves

arrangements published in yesterdays
GLOBE. In the afternoon the procession
formed at Bridge square at 2:30 o'clock,
and proceeded to LOring park by the
way of Nicollet avenue, the line of
spectators. The procession was headed
by Supt. Henderson and a platoon of
mounted police, Chief Marshal Dorsey
and aides, Patrick Lyon, E. F. Gibson,
A. p. Courtney and j. p. Rogers, es-
eOrted by the Minnesota Light cavalry.
The Third United States infantry,
headed by the band. and commanded by
Col. E. G. Mason, held the place of
honor at the right of the first division.
Companies A, B. ], First regiment, n.
G. S. NJ, and Company G, Third regi-
ment, with the University cadets, made
up the first division.
The second division was the pride of
the people. 1t was made up of the vet
Grams of the war, headed by Marshal
Jacob K. MertZ, Acting Mayor Potter
and the G. A. r. quartette. Their es-
cort were Camps 4 and Q, Sons of Veter-
ans. The posts came in the order of or

Bradish spoke principally of the results
OF the war, and of the duty of the liy-
ing to the fallen comrades. He said:
Not more than one-sixth of the peo-
pie. in the United States know the
meaning ofM emorlal day from having
lived in war times. To the old soldier
the meaning of the day becomes more
and more intense year by year; to him
It's exercises are sacred and religious.

heroiSm, their suffering and their loyal
ty to the nations cause; neither can we
forget the million broken hearts in the
land. What is our present duty but to
Loyalty fulfill the existence of our fallen
comrades. Could they speak to us to-
day, who can doubt that it would be,
See to it that we shall not have died in
vain.'"
He then addressed himself to the ex-
isting conditions in the South, claiming
that the spirit of secession had not been
entirely stamped out, and that the chill
dren should be instructed strictly in
principles of loyalty. In conclusion, he
set forth that our duty to our fallen
comrades required that we should ex-
clude the vile and ignoble of every
land, and provide means to prevent
them from abusing our hOSnltalitv

LOTS OF WORK.
The Grand Jury Will Have Its
Hands Full.

The grand jury will resume its labors Mon
day morning after vacation of two months.
1t is probable several important matters will
be considered at the present session, as
Judge Pond, in his charge in April, called
particular attention to such things as the
evasion of the Sunday laws, illegal selling OF
liquors. gambling ana houses of prostitution
SO far no action has been taken regarding
them and they will now doubtless come up
for consideration. 1t is reported that several
blind piggers, both in the city and county,
will be inquired into by the jury.
Among cases that will receive attention is
the one of young Michael Stanton. charged
with being implicated with the youth Kriedt,
in the larceny of II store on Franklin avenue.

THEY WILL STRIKE.
The Bakers of the City Will Go
Out TO-MOrrOW.

The bakers have resolved to strike,
and Mouday over 100 men will fail to
appear in their accustomed places. Dur
ing the past three years there has been
an effort among the bakers to get the
union in such shape that they could reg
ulate the scale of wages, and they now
feel that they have attained that end.
The principal ground OF complaint is
that the proprietors of the smaller shops
insist upon boarding their help and only
pay them from s3 to $5 per week, totally
disregarding the union scale of wages.
These are the ones who will be princi-
pally affected by the strike, as most of
the larger dealers are willing to accept
the union scale. In the shop of the
Lillibridge-Bremner company the men
are paid what they are considered worth,
and many of them receive more than
union prices. This is also the ease with
Regan Bros establishment, and but
few OF the employees of either of these
concerns will go out. The smaller shops,
however, will be tied up as long as the.
strike lasts.

they are obeyed or not, while others are
hustling much against their will.

This unfortunately is the condition some of
Minneapolis aspiring Republicans find them
selves in now. The Union league started in
first to get the convention, and then the eX-
position directors talked it over; while the
board of trade, with all the dignity and de-
corum of a house of lords, condescended to
discuss the matter and to give tone 10 the
movement and had il sent abroad that, hav-
ing obtained the Endorsement of the board,
the Union league could count on consider
able support from that source Since then it
has turned out that it was moral support that
was intended, so for the present the treas
urer of the board will not ratify nor indorse
any means, measures or bills that the mem
bers of the league should feel like approv-
ing. The board of trade is e great body. 1t
is built much after the style OF the Old
Maids Protective union, viz. Every one on
the lookout for herself. but no one to help
the organization.
OF course, the boards inability TO grasp the
situation is anything but satisfactory to Will

SHE'LL He showed them what a card it would
be for the league to take the initiative, and TO
think that all other organizations, whether
political or otherwise, hesitated in joining,
was too much for him. But William Henry
does not propose to be sat on, and whatever
honor there is due the league, or will be due
when the fight is over. he will then be justly
little doubt but that Minneapolis stands some
chance for the convention if the men in
charge d'affairs will not try to make a little
capital out of 1t for themselves, bat merely
look to the interests and general welfare of
the city. An effort will be made to club the
all-for-glory ones into line, and thus not only
secure the convention, but save the Repub-
lican party of the city from ruin.

THE WOMAN ABOUT TOWN.

The rising generation bids fair to be more
sensible than some of its predecessors. A
noticeable feature of the invitations to the
commencement exercises at the university is
the simple legend in one corner, mo flow
ers'' Maybe part of the sentiment Of that
graduation is lost but just as certain is it that
the sweet girl graduates are relieved of a
large proportion of embarrassment by this
restriction. The popular girl in the class
was always lavishly remembered by her
admiring friends. and at the conclusion of
her little effort she sat in the midst of her
baskets and bouquets like queen sur
rounded by trophies of a victorious cam
paign. On the other hand the conscientious
but plain ana friendless girl, having pro-
duced a really clever essay, takes her seat

A LITTLE POLITICS.

There Is lots of fun in store for the Mime
apolis man who can stand back and keep off
the stage long enough to see the Republic
ans climbing over each others shoulders in
their struggle for national convention honOrs.
If anything can tear the Minneap polls Repub-
licans to pieces it will be the jealousy arising
from over ambitious Republicans to get their
names in print on this score. 1t will be
long, strong contest, and. unless the honors
are equally divided, there will be music in
the air. As matters stand now, all are anx-
ious to get the convention here, but all are
not willing to turn out and do little can

AT LORING PARK.

Impressive Services and an Elo-
quent Address by Rev. G. L..
Morrill,.
AT Loring park, after music by the
Fort Smelling band, the orders of the
day were read by George w. Grant. The
q. A. X. quartette sang a selection, and
Rev. r. n. McKaig offered prayer. After
another song the Grafton of the day was
delivered by Rev. q. L. Morrill,
His address might be entitled a
plea for patriotism. The Bible, he said,
more than any other book, inculcates
lofty patriotism. This is free and in
dependent nation. The seed of liberty
planted by our fathers in noble soil, and
under free sky, grew mighty harvest,
but satanic spirit soWed among it
tareS of false morality and corrupt
political economy i'll all that pertaIned
to the rights of human liberty. Slavery,
which had been regarded as only
permissible evil to be done away with
in time. was later justified for financial
and political reasons by the South. The
American idea was liberty for all men
not as white or black, but for men as
men. The nation conld not be half
slave and half tree. Our War of the
Rebellion freed and unified us. 1t
disciplined us by bringing out what was
good, beautiful and true in men and
women.
=" "The battle for the Union has
just begun; the flag was never in greater
peril; assaults are being made as deadly
as Sumter's cannon shot against the
ballot box and the. little red school
house, and the principles of our school
house.
From pine to palmetto, from granite
Atlantic to golden Pacific, may liberty
of body, mind and soul prevail, and
may the people be no longer Republican
or Democrat, but citizens, no longer
English, Irish or German, but Ameri-
can, no more Protestant or Catholic,
but Christian"
When the speaker concluded, the G.
A. r. quartette sang again. A memo
rial poem was recited by Miss Mary f.
Lee. The audience joined in the singing
of America" and benediction was pro-
nounced by Rev. j. j. Faude.

LAYMAN's CEMETERY.
An Earnest Address Delivered by
Rev. Thomas McClary.

The exercises at Layman's cemetery
were conducted under the direction of
Washburn and Noble posts. The par
ade was formed at the Adams school,
whence it marched to the cemetery. The
thirty graves in the soldiers lot were
decorated, after which the exercises of
the day were carried out. Rev. G. E.
Hickson offered prayer, after which
Rev. Thomas McClary delivered an ad-
dress. He urged upon his hearers the
idea that Memorial day should not be
allowed to degenerate into a gala day,
but should be devoted to the solemn
cOmmemOratiOn of the veteran dead
