4 But, the soldiers of the Union did not
contract for the mental and material loss
endured by their wives, parents and
families. These things are beyond the
purchase of nation Is treasury.
The men whose graves we decorate
with fair flowers to-day did not contract
for their lives, they gave them for the
preservation of the Union, and for the
destruction of slavery. Our surviving
veterans made the self-same offering on
hundred battlefelds, and, therefore,
the nation owes them a great reward.
All the Union soldiers, who fought IN
the war should be pensioned for life.
We honor the great generals who led our
armies to victory; but the common SOL
der has an equal claim. No general
should be honored or rewarded alone,
because no general conquered alone.
The virtue of patriotism, and the honor
and glory of our country, demand that
we cherish and support, in their declining
years.. the heroes who preserved the
Union, and kept the bridge in the brave
| days Of old"
IF the glorious deeds of chivalry in
every age and CLINE have long since been
enshrinedin song and story; if the nations
LOT antiquity honored their heroes, and
raised monuments of brass and OF stone to
perpetuate among men their names and
their glory, why should not we honor in
a similar way the men who fell fighting
for the liberties of our country? l I'M
derstand that state law invests the
county commissioners in their respective
counties to appropriate $500 to be ex-
pended on the erection of monument
to the memory Of our departed soldiers.
Hence would respectfully suggest that
the commissioners of Mower county
take the initiative step, and before
next Decoration Day erect monument
| upon which will be chiseled in bold
relief the words: "Here lie our nations
defenders Palsled be the hand of the
| American citizen, native or adopted, that
! is not raised to strike blow whenever
foreign or domestic enemy shall attempt
to destroy our Union, or to insult our
flag whose stars are the hope Of the free,
and whose stripes are the terror Of ty-
rants.
On our national standard of liberty
are inscribed justice, equality, no dis
tinction of color, race or creed, and,
therefore, say silent be the tongue OF
the man who, on beholding that uncon-
quered banner, floating over free and
united people, will refuse to express the
sentiment of Americas great poet:
! s'Thou, too, sail on, o Ship of State!
Sail ON, 0 Union. strong and great!
| Humanity with all it's fears.
With all the hopes of future years,
| Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know what Mas ter laid thy keel,
What workman wrought thy ribs OF steel,
Who made each No asst and sail and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
| In what a forge and what heat
Were shaped the anchors Of thy hope.
Sail on, nor fear TO breast the sea
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee.
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee are all with thee!'

Waited from Superior.
Special to The Irish Standard.
Edmund MeNevine, of Sioux City, is
in the city, looking after his extensive
realty interests.
J.H. Murphy, wealthy lumberman
of Chippewa Falls, was in the city on
Monday last on business,
w. r. O'Hearn, cashier of the Jackson
county bank of Black River Falls, spent
the early part of the week in Superior.
Memorial day was reverently kept
The parade in the afternoon was one Of
the finest in the history of the city, the
school children forming very interesting
feature. The Grafton of the day was de-
livered by Thomas E. Lyons. 1t was a
mastery effort, and was very profusely
interspersed with poetical and patriotic
illusions to the honored dead. This clio.
quent masterpiece must convince even
the most obdurate that ON future public
occasions Superior need not import ora
torical talent. Your correspondent re-
grets that space will not permit him to
give extracts from this superb address.
The A. O. a. have begun to bestir
themselves to provide arousing time for
their visiting brethren at the convention
which will be held here July 18th. The
following corps Of hustlers have been ap-
pointed to supervise and take charge of
the entire affair: County Delegate John
Kavanagh, Mr.. Mat. Burke, John IL.
Vaughan, John Ford aud Michael May.
It is proposed, and the enthusiasm ex-
pressed by the members would warrant
us in saying it, that Superior will give the
members who may be fortunate enough
to be with us on that occasion the grand
est, most unique and unauthorized
'blow-out" that ever occurred in the
annals Of Wisconsin Hibernians.

We hear the voice of selfish economists
and freside philosophers raised against
the pensions paid by the country to it's
veteran citizen soldiers. We are told
that the soldier in war time simply made
a contract with the government, and that
the terms of the contract we're fulfilled
by his daily food and payment while in
active service. In the present time, as
in the past, there are Catos who would
sell their old and worn-out servants to
save expense. They would sell the brave
veterans of the Union to save million q
year to the United States treasury; and
they ignore or forget the fact that these
same veterans saved the treasury for us
and for future generations The rulers
of Ancient Greece and Rome rewarded
not only their soldiers, but also the dumb
beasts that had worked for the common
good. After the Athenians built the
temple of Minerva, they turned loose to
feed freely those mules that had done
the hardest work. The war horses Of
the Roman generals, when old and bro
ken. we're tended with the greatest care,
and in many instances kept at the public
charge till they died. Are we to treat
our war-worn soldiers with less regard
for their temporal welfare, than the
Greeks and Romans treated their mules
and horses? The contract of enlistment
was kept by the government and by the
soldier. The soldier received his food,

grading form of slavery. The achieve
ments of the invincible legions OF Alex
ander claim the attention and occupy
the thoughts of every reader Of Grecian
history, but these heroic followers OF
Philips son were only the tools of a
tyrant's will, who waged war for the sake
of war. The Cart hagenians fought their
way from the pillars of Hercules to the
gates of Rome, and proved their skill
and bravery on thousand battletields,
but they stained their victories with bar
barous deeds of cruelty. The Romans
we're the bravest soldiers the world ever
SAW; in every land victory perched upon
their banners; but war was their trade
praise and plumber their reward.
Contrast with these the men whose
memory we honor today. Our departed
comrades left home and friends and all
that the world holds dear, to give their
kservice and their lives not for the perpe-
tuation of slavery, but for it's extirPation'
They saw the negro wronged, outraged
kept from all avenues of intellectual and
moral culture, treated as the horse or the
OK till the very image Of God was almost
effaced from his soul. But our veterans
believed in the rights Of man, in liberty
and equality; and they desired to secure
to others the liberty which they demand
ed for themselves. They believed that
slavery was great wrong, that it was a
disgrace to our country, a crime against
humanity, a sin against God. And

American Grain Carried from New York
in British Bottoms.
New York, Feb. CIV. E. Ferguson,
of the New York produce exchange,
recognized authority on statistics on the
grain export trade of this port, has just
made his annual report. The tables
compiled show an enormous increase in
the grain export trade Of New YORK, and
dwindling away OF the American ocean
marine, the American merchant flag be-
ing driven off the seas by Great Britain.
The completeness with which steam has
superseded sail in the ocean carrying
trade, may be seen from the fact that
of 1888 vessels which carried cargoes of
grain from this port during '91, only
fifteen were sailing vessels.
4 There was shipped from New York
during 1891, 6S, ,223 ,528 bushels of Amer
lean grain to feed the hungry mouths OF
Europe. Not included in this were $780,
377 bushels of buckwheat, which APP
pears in the statistics for the first time,
buckwheat never having been exported
before in any quantity.
OF 1888 ship loads only twenty-five
were carried under the American flag.
There were only four American steam
ers left in the grain-carrying trade
three old passenger steamers of the late
American line, which used to run from
Philadelphia, under the control of the
Pennsylvania railroad.
Great Britain has the lions share of
the worlds carrying trade, and no less
than 1872 shiploads left this port under
the British flag last year.

New YORK, Feb. 6.-The committee

meeting opposed to the calling of state
convention in February, issued an ad-
dress to the Democrats of the state to-
day, saying the state convention had
been called by committee for the 23d
of February, for the manifest purpose
of forestalling public opinion and in
fuencing the political action of other
states by an apparent unanimous dele
CATION from New York in favor of
the preferred candidate of the ma
jority of the committee. The people
are urged to fight at the primaries
to elect delegates who regard ''snap"
convention as detrimental to the true
interests of the party, and who, in TAX
ing their seat, will move that the con-
vention dissolve without taking any
action at all. Devotion is urged to the
great issues which carried the party to
victory in 1890, and absolute loyalty to
the candidate who shall be declared by
the national convention to be the best

WAR TO THE DEATH.
No Let Up in the Fight Against the
Louisiana Lottery.

Louisiana Lottery.
New YORK, Feb. GA private dis
patch received by Charles B. Spahr, one
of the editors of the Christian Union,
from Col. Clarkson Parker. editor of the
New Orleans New Delta, the organ of
the anti-lottery party, says: "We will
push the fight to the finish. 1t is war
to the death. We have no reliance on
Morris's promises. The Foster ticket
will march on to victory"
Mr.. Spahr, who has been following
the campaign in Louisiana, speaking
with reference to the Morris
letter and the present condition
OF affairs says: "Unless a governor
and legislature hostile to the lottery
are elected, the business of the lottery
company cannot possibly be brought to
an end before January l, 1895, and
would then probably be allowed to con-
tinue without authorization in the con-
stitution. With the state machinery in
its hands, the lottery might easily call
constitutional convention and secure
recharter, without submitting the prop
osition to the people. Many of the
anti-lottery people believe Morris him
self, who is millionaire, with inhuen-
tial social connections in New York
and Boston, would gladly give
up the fight and retire
from the lottery business with the
fifteen or twenty millions he is reported
to have accumulated, but it would not
be easy for him to dispose of his interest
to other men. In spite of the postal
law, fifteen or twenty million dollars a
year comes to the lottery company from
other states. Those who have been
fighting the battle against the lottery
therefore appeal to their friends in other
states to help them in the struggle. The
anti-lottery people of Louisiana have
already contributed beyond their means
in carrying on the campaign. The hard
est part of the fight is just ahead"

THE oREERAR WILL STANDS.
The Illinois Law Is Better Than That of
New York.


New York.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Judge Tuley of the
circuit court today handed down an
opinion sustaining the will of the late
millionaire John Creerar, of this city,
in leaving a fund for establishing a
great library here, etc.
The validity of the will was attacked
by certain cousins of the deceased, on
grounds similar to those on which the
bequest of the late Samuel j. Tilden
OF New York was overthrown.
The Creerar will made individual
religious and charitable bequests to the
amount of $800,000, and gave the resi-
due OF his estate, amounting to over 49,
100000 into the hands of Col. Hunting
ton w. Jackson and Mr.. Norman Will
Jams to found the Creerar library. 1t
was contended by the compIainants that
the residuary clause was void because
obnoxious to the law of perpetuities,
and that the other bequests were not of
public nature.
In substance, the court holds that
there could be no more deserving char
ity than the bequest for the education
of the people; that it was clearly the
intention of the testator that his residu-
ary estate should become at his death
a gift to charity. If the residuary clause
was good, it made no difference to the
complainants whether the challenged
special legacies were void or not, as the
lapsed legacies of personally fell into
the residuum, and the complainants had
no standing in court.
The Judge commented on the diff

tanning wills MAKING hpOupata tn ch q ritv
and of the practice in this state of con-

wishes of charitable testators, as ac-
counting for the different conclusions

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 6.-It is reported
here that a warrant has been issued for
the arrest of E. G. Durand, president of
the Durand Organ and Piano company,
on the charge of forgery. Durand left
town last Friday, and his whereabouts
is unknown. Durand's company had a
capital stock of $500, 900, and besides
selling musical instruments, he sold
stock in the company, taking promissory
notes from the purchasers, promising
not to dispose Of them, and to let the
dividends of the company pay for them.
Durand either sold these notes or used
them as collateral to obtain money on.
Durand invested heavily in real estate
and lost. 1t is charged he forged num-
ber of notes. These, with genuine
notes, he gave in payment for real es-
tate. 1t is thought he obtained 5000, 900
on notes OF this kind. His business has
been attached and also the. notes in his
possession.

any monkey business or underhand
work INDUCED in by any of its professed
friends will be liable to lead the perpe-
traitors to the soup tureen. There are
rumors OF outside influence being secret
ly brought to bear to defeat the
measure, and of speakers coming here

water upon it, which may be, and prob
ably is true.
In my last letter I said Surveyor
Charles 7. Healy found 271a feet of

to 80 feet 1900 feet from shore at high

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 6.-Charles D.
Hammond of Cleveland street, London,
notoriety, who has been in Jail here on
a charge of grand larceny, for over a
year, was pardoned today by Governor
Ferry. Hammond was sentenced in
December, 1890, to two years in the
penitentiary. Since then it has been
proven that he was not guilty of grand
larceny, and that the charge on which
he was convicted was trumped up by
agents of English aristocrats sent here
for that purpose. Hammond's family
has been in dire distress for the past
year.
