EDITORIAL.

Every one regrets the present terrible
labor troubles, which bring about such
scenes of bloodshed as those at Andrew
Carnegie's mill at HON estead, Penn,
recently. Whether the troublous rela-
tions between labor and capital will
ever be better adjusted is almost a
matter of doubt. But ii must be or we
shall be on the direct road to lawless
anarchy. There is wrong on both
sides and right also, and the world is
now looking for new prophet who
can adjust these rights and wrongs.

ORANGE co. SOLDIERS REUNION.

The Sth reunion of the Orange County
Veterans Association was held upon
Brocklebank hill in Tunbridge July 4th
and, like all OF the preceding reunions of
this association, was an interesting and
very pleasant convention OF old soldiers
and their friend. The clerk of the wealth
er, who mas been 50 dissgreesble since
summer came, grew pleasant and gave the
boys delightful day. There is, even in
the hottest day, a cool wind blowing
across the hill and on the Fourth there
was lively breeze in the morning but all
who came to the hill walked or rode to the
summit where they stayed until noon look
ing out over the charming landscape be-
fore them and locating various points OF
interest among the mountains and hills
in the distance and in the valleys below.
The prospect from the summit of Brockle-
bank is one of rare scenic beauty that the
most skilful of painters could not portray
except Nature were to reveal to him the Sc
cret of the colors she uses. Place the hill,
and the picturesque landscape that sur
rounds it,so far away that only the wealth
v could visit it and "Brock lebankn would
soon become noted. There would be no
thought OF quarrying the valuable granite
from its sides then. Its value as a summer
resort would keep it from the quarrymen
The veterans who assembled here the 4tb.
with their friends, were delighted with
the beauty of the scenery and many pro-
posed getting tents and going into camp
for the remainder of the summer. The
clear, bracing air made them very hungry
but they found that the women folk had
put plenty OF substantial food in the bas-
kets they brought. These baskets were
quickly emptied at noon and the boys be-
gan unloading their best stories as they
lighted their pipes and il some OF the sto-
ries were too full Of the marvellous to gain
ready credence the story teller would inn
mediately summon witnesses to prove his /
story true. Sometimes the witness would (
change and mix up the details in a way to /
get the laugh on the story-teller. however. /
The stories were good and if faces tell the I
truth everyone upon the hill was as full Of I
happiness as his veins were fun of blood.
There were no signs OF liquid inspiration
but every body and his wife were full.
Many Of the boys had not met in many
yeaas. Some who had not met one Of their .
old comrades since the day of their dis
charge. came a long distance 10 meet the 4
boys upon the hill and as they grasped the /
hands OF their old comrades they grew
full very quickly. There Was 50 much .
happiness in circulation il was a very 4
cheap sort Of an individual who failed 10 4
grow full Of it.

When President Lincoln was confront

war and Gen. Ha. rison was marching to
the sea, where was Mr.Adlai f. Stevenson,

which declared that the war was failure
and called for the immediate cessation of
