MEMORIAL Day.

Though not celebrated with the same
noise and pomp as July 4th, the 30th of
May is vet fast supplanting it as an oc-
casion for rekindling the fires of patri-
otism. This is as it should be. The
glorious Fourth, with its associations,
reaches back more than a century, to the
mighty throes of the nations birth.
Memorial Day is sacred to those who
only a quarter Of a century ago gave
their lives to keep from ruin that same
nation. There should be no question as to
which is the more fitting festival Both
are pertinent and requisite. The one
celebrates the birth of new nation; the
other commentaries its lasting union
with liberty.
The keeping of this day cannot be
too strongly urged. The vastness Of the
things accomplished by the Union sol
diers is ever a fruitful and suggestive
theme. In our present greatness we
are apt to forget what ''hair breadth
'scape" we had from utter ruin. The
miseries that would have followed dis
union are incalculable. Had the rebel
lion succeeded there would probably
now be as many independent republics
between Canada and the Gulf as there
are States. The bold spirit and restless
activity of our population, the fact that
we speak a common language, party
spirit narrowed and embittered by linn
tied areas would have been the source
of perpetual wars, hindering the ad-
vance of civilization, and setting back
the world. The cause of God and hu-
manity would have been ages from its
present high place. This country is the
result of the sacrifices of those at whose
graves we bow on Memorial Day. Let
us therefore not suffer it to fall into dis
use. Let us reverence its observance
and reiterate its lessons. Soon there
will be no veterans to lead in the Gus
toms of this day. During the last year
long line of them, headed by General
Sherman and Admiral Porter have
marched away on their last march. The
younger generation who have
never heard the angry sounds of war
should the more recognize that for them
these men fought and died, and as often
as the day recurs should beautify their
tombs with flowers, and honor their
memory in patriotic song and speech.

THE Presbyterian General Assembly
at Detroit has disposed of the revision
question for year. The revision COM
mittee reported and were continued,
while their report is sent down to the
Presbyteries for endorsement or reject
ion. Thus the membership will have
time to study the contemplated changes
coolly and deliberately. Ga several
points the report recommended radical
revision, notably on predestination and
infant damnation. These clauses of
the creed are to be made broad and
comprehensive, and at the same time
liberal in statement. The report seems
to meet the approval of the moderate
party of both sides, and the plan of
reference to the Presbyteries seems to
be happy solution of meeting all OBJ
jections to the present report.

THROUGH THE WEARY HOURS

1AIeOCNll w Lhh I1oI
OF many night, made doubly long by its
prOtracted agony, the rheumatic sufferer
tosses to and fro on his sleepless couch,
vainly praying for that rest which only
comes by fits and starts; his malady is
one which ordinary medicines too often
fail to relieve, but there is ample evidence
to prove that the efficient blood depurent,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, affords the
rheumatic reliable means of relief;
check the maladyiin its inclpient stages.
when the first premonitory tW inges come
on, with this agreeable medicine, and
avoid years of torture; whatever be the
rationale of the active influence of the
BitterS upon this malady, certain it is
that no evidence relating to its effect is
more direct or positive than that which
treaties to its action in case of rheuma-
ism: like all sterling remedies, however,
it deserves a prOtracted, systematic trial,
and should not be abandoned because
not at once remedial; it is equally ef1ica-
cious in dyspepsia, indigestion and kin
dred diseases. 5-6-4t

Certain papers and politicians in the
south seem to be greatly concerned lest
the Alliance peo;l'a should go into the
Peoples party. If they are really in ear
nest, why do they not turn their atten-
ton to the third party fellows Gown in
South Carolina and in Georgia? Why
do they not get after Congressman OHtes
of Alabama? These are the only men in
the south thus far who have taken action
toward third party. And be it under
stood that not one of them is an Alliance
man. Gentlemen, would it not be well
to look after those third party men in
your own ranks? Don't you think it just
a little bit inconsistent to manifest so
much concern about the Alliance and tue

reason for this supp0sit;on is plainly and

The partisan press may howl as much
as it pleascs about the farmers getting
ont of debt, claiming that is where
all the trouble lies, but monopoly would
quail to see those conditions established
which would aid in freeing labor from
debt. They do not want him out of
debt. Monopoly and greed want the iron
heel of oppression upon the neck of labor,
keeping him in debt; making him Il slave
to them forever-the only thing they de-
spise is the racket raised about it. Let
the serfs be humble and quiet and they
have no fears Of robbing labor; but the
agitation of these damning wrongs is
calculated to fan into fury smoldering
volcano. The subtreasury is one of those
potent factors in securing the reform
contended for, and it is too patent to the
minds of the opponents of labor for them
to fail by every means effective to defeat
this measure.-NcKinney CTex.) Demo-
