AFTER THE BATTLE. The cele.
6ration of the schoOls.-for such in
deed it was-and the demonstration
made by the pupils in honor of Colum'
bus, furnished topics for conversation
at many supper tables Friday evening
Tue street parade was larger and bet
ter in every way than anything of the
kind ever in our city. 1t excelled In
every point the parade made by the
city schools Oh WashingtOh's memoir
al day, April 30, 1889. The pupils
were most excellently drilled and the
whole affair showed Imuch careful
and palnstaking work on the part OF
the teachers. Much praise is due
Supt. Scott and his efficient corps of
assistants for the way in which the
whole affair was managed. The schol.
ars who made up the show will ever
remember the day, but it is none the
less Vividly impressed upon the mem
olies of the teachers upon whom the
planning and all the responsibility
rested. Their UnanimOus" verdict OF
the day was, nothing succeeds like
success"

Years ago, "enduin' the wab," one
day we saw q big Enapsack moving
along. and an Enfield rife in fine con-
dition at "right-shOulder-shift" over
it. Below the knapsack was a pair OF
sturdy legs, and they trsmped right
along in the vigorous march then on
into line Of battle and hard work. That
Knapsack and that gun were all right
If they were not among the tall cedars
of the military Lebanon of Company
E, 33 Iowa. The owner of that KNAPP
sack and gun and legs was Mark Bur
ket, now our County Auditor, and will
be again. He was the youngest, and
one of the best soldiers in that COM
pany of Captain Prouty's. and when be
came home he Iustled for all the edu-
cation he could. took homestead in
northwestern Iowa and made it; went
into siness, worked and worked
hard, and made life success measure
ably. He has been a fine Cflicial ss
Auditor; good citizen, and a friend
to all worthy people. You see that the
Dame If Mark Burket, the youngest
soldier, and one of the best, is duly and
favOrably checked on your ticket.

tiOn on the part Of Mr.. White,
On January 21, Mr.. White introduc
ed bill authorizing and directing the
secretary OF the treasury to pay the
fum Of 81 500 to the legal representa-
tiVeS OF q. II. Stipolt, deceased, fol
money expended and losses sustained
by him while enrOute to and from
Campeachy, Mexico, while holding q
commission as consul at that place, and
for which nc compensation Of any kind
has ever been given him." This bill
was referred to the committee on claims
and nothing further has been done with
1t. l can say to the heirs or legal rep
resentatives of Mr.. Stibolt that their
bill will never become law during tho
present congress, and it is not likely
that it will ever become a law unless
they can aid in securing the election OF
a representative like MIR. Lacey, who
will not only introduce bills, but do
business by securing their passage.
While he had bis hand in, Mr. White,
on January 1SIntroduced q bill to place
on the pension rolls the name of Squire
+. Brown, late Of Company q, Seven
teenth Ohio Volunteers. This bill was
also referred to the committee on in
valid pensions and died there.
On January l5 Mr.. White introduced
bill "to increase the pension of San
ford Kirkpatrick Late a soldier of Com.
pany Z, Second Iowa Infantry Volun-
teers, from S2& to $50 per month" This
bill was also referred to the committee
on invalid pensions, and died.
Ga January Is, Mr.. White introduced
bill"to remove the charge of desertion
against the record of Gardner Dodge of
Company L, Ninth Iowa Cavalry Vol.
unteers." This bill is dead as a door
nail. and its corpse Is in a pigeon hole
in the committee on military affairs.

the war; that instead of being at the
front he was at home tying to get a

Lacey's war rec )rd cannot be assailed; i;
he was brave and efficient and his pro-
motion came on account Of merit"

A GREAT MEETING AND GREAT ENTuU
sIASM,

A GREAT MEETING AND GREAT ENTHU
sIAsM.
The Lacey meeting held here on last
Saturday evening was grand success
as evidenced by the large, attentive au'
dience that had gathered long before
the speaker came. When he arrived
the hall was filled to overllOwing, even
the standing room being filed and every
window and in front of the doorway
were crowds of patient, interested lis
teners. One feature of the large audi
! ence 1--WE say it to the credit of this
com munity) was the quiet that pre-
vailed and the remarkably good atten-
tiOn given the speaker both in and out
side the hall. Then John was at his
beat apparently, presenting ths truths
OF this campaign in foIcible, logical,
winning and pleasing m amer ss no one
but John +. Lacey can do.
Even the strongest of the opposition
we're forced to admit it was a feast of
knowledge that paid anyone for the
listening, and that the facts were pre-
sented in grave fairness 70 all parties.
Certainly such meeting is a grand
treat and such speech will lose no
votes for the Republican party. but
will win every fair minded voter to the
household OF the faithful. All under.
stand why MIR. White did not wish to
meet MIR. Lacey upon the stump before
the voters of the Sixth District. Lacey's
arguments are so fOrcible, his grounds
so well taken and the whole so truth
full that there Is no one who can con-
front an audience beside him and
weaken them in any part. John open
ed his campaign here four years ago,
and was elected to congress. Two years
ago ne missed Peoria and was defeated.
THIS year he has had a meeting here
that any man might feel proud OF, and
we predict his success.
