Some more backward Chances

EDITOR HERALD: ! notice 10 your
issue the very reasonable criticisms OF
correspondent relating to nv lett n
in the Herald of late date. In look
ing over that letter, | find there was
more in my mind than l placed upon
the paper. In saying that Mrs. Kilby,
the widow of 'Uncie Edins, was the
last of the earliest settlers of the Hurr-
icaut, who came as heads of families,
two explanations seem necessary: |
meant, and sh uld have said. the ear
Hest settlers who remained in Hurri
cane / had in mind by the use of the
term earliest settlers the strict meaning
of the word: those who came in the
first rush of settlement from 1885 to 10,
and should have so stated.
Il was nv impres sion that Mr. Alan.
son Morrell, now of Lancaster. settled
ia the Hurricane in 1871 | did not
knog the date Of Mr. Nedder's settle.

sided on the farm which he hewed from
the hurricane woods, Few indeed OF
the pioneers are more ftvorably or
kindly remembered than is he. The
Herald within the past year ohronicled
the death of Mrs. Morrell,
MIR Morrell and MIR Vedder are
truly two of the staunch pioneers of
the Hurricane, and are numbered by
all, who have known that locality,
with those, whose upright and honor
able lives, al you 1ger generations can
follow rs an example, with honor and
profit.
In reference to the earliest schools of
the Hurricane, | wish to say that some
wears ago one of the old pioneers of
hurricane gave me an sccount of what
is claimed to be the earliest school
taught there. find have some notes
of that conversation, which saws; The

PREPARING FOR THE BATTLE.
Washington Cd. CD Post.

Washington Cd. CO Post
Those Republican newspapers that
have been criticising Congressman
Babcock for his recent warning will
find considerable food for reflection n
the election returns from the Third
Ohio Congressional district. 1t will
be recalled that Mr. Babcock. who is
| the competent chairman of the Repub-
lican Congressional campaign COM
mittee, called attention to the over
confidence of the Republicans in their
ability to capture a majority in the
! next House of Representatives and
pointed out some of the obstacles they
would have to overcome if they would
succeed. Mr.. Babcock's advice was
rather coldly received, and in some in
stances he was severely criticised for
his alleged bad judgment. The chair
man of the Republican congressional
campaign committee did not have
long to wait for vindication of his
judgment
That the Democratic party is pos
sessed of wonderful recuperative pow
ers is fully demonstrated by the Ohio
election returns. With popular senti-
ment running strongly against the
dominant party and the rank and file
badly demoralized the Democrats of
this particular Ohio district took up
the bedraggled party banner and made
bold and aggressive fight to regain
their lost ground. Instead of apollo
giving for party shortcomings they
made fresh promises and their plat
form was even more vigorous and ex-
IRENE than the platform upon which
President Cleveland was elected. The
campaign conducted by the Democrats
OF this district was aggressive. and
the members of the party who had
been discontinued and lukewarm were
soon interested. AS a result the Re-
publican majority of last year, 53S, is
TRANSFORMED into a Democratic ma
Iority OF over 1000. 1t is true that
this particular district has returned
much larger Democratic maiorities.
but never before did the Democrats
fight under such adverse circurn-
stances.
That the effect of this special cleo
ton will tend to encourage the Demo-
cratic party and inspire it to enter
the approaching campaign with more
Vlgor than it otherwise would have
done there cannot be the least doubt.
At any rate it is now quite plain that
the Republicans cannot afford to take
everything for granted and depend on
past successes to carry next Novem-
ber's election for them. As Chairman
Babeock has shown, the Democrats
mold great advantage by reason of
the formation of the Congressional
districts, and all they lacked was or
ganization. That they will now pro-
coed to organize and fight hard there
can be no doubt, and if the Republi
can managers fully realize the i'm
portance Of similar action, they will
not lose any time in getting to work

MEMORIAL DAY.

Here is a general order from j. A.
Watrous, Department Commander for
Wisconsin, of the Grand Army of the
Republic. The suggestions are all ex-
cellent and will be productive Of last
ing good ii carried out.
Memorial Day is close at hand 1t
is not necessary to urge the comrades
Of this department to properly observe
Memorial Day. but | wish To make a
suggestion or two. At the recent De-
partment Encampment a resolution
was adopted. unanimously, urgently
requesting the proper authorities to
exert their influence in favor Of Memo
rial ceremonies in all Of the colleges
and public and private schools of the
state. on the Friday afternoon or even
ing preceding Memorial Day, May 30
The value of such ceremonies would
be very great in teaching patriotism
and in preparing the young for good
citizenship | trust that the COM
rades win keep this question so con
stantly and so prominently before the
public that it will not be long before
impressive memorial ceremonies are
held in all of our educational institu-
tions, public and private. each year,
at the time indicated; and | am sure
that you viii all join me in the hope
and belief that when the custom is
adopted. it will exist throughout the
life Of the Republic. Ask the press,
the pulpit, the boards, superintend-
ents. teachers, children and the pub
lie generally to cooperate with you in
establishing the custom. With that
custom, established. with memorial
ceremonies in the hundreds OF thou
sands of educational Institutions of
our land, as the 30th of May APP
proaehes. we need never fear, com
rades, that the Nation We contributed
something towards re-establishing,
viii abandon the obseryanees that
have become SO dear TO our hearts
Establish that custom and Memorial
DAY exercises win he us notable for
centuries to come rs they have been
since the day our ideal volunteer sol
dier and leader, John 4. Logan, intro
ducea the beautiful observance The
practice THAI has grown up of Posts
going in body TO hear. a patriotic
sermon the sunday evening previous
to Memorial Day, is in all respects
commendable, and should be coutin-
ued. May we not greatly enlarge the
number Of patriotic sermons IN that
occasion by respectfully requesting
the pastors of al the churches to
PREACH patriotic sermon the sunday,
morning or evening, preceding the
day we strew flowers upon the graves
of our comrades? | here make that
request of the pastors, Of all denomi-
nations, and ask that the request be
repeated and emphasized by the ex-
soldiers and all ether patriotic people
in the state Anything that tends to
improve American citisenShip-au
patriotism does that-must be pleas
ing in the sight IF God. Patriotic

Please spare no pains TO make May

0ne argument in favor of such an ia-
crease is that the letter postage will be

THE Coxey movement is most
dangerous one from the fact that it
gives some shadow of dignity TO the
professional tramp Here is an army
composed OF hundreds Of men, most of
them irresponsible that has been the
absorbing topic OF the press and pulpit
for some weeks. This army has tens
of thousands of sympathiz rs who have
been out-spoken in their behalf and
who have been with them ia urging in
Engagements of the laws both state and
national. Still il is an army of tramps
and little else can be made out of 1t.
They have no definite object in view
except to reach Washington, but they
neither know what they want to do or
can do when they get there. Their gen.
eral purpose seems to be TO overcome
congress and compel legislation in their
favor. They seem disposed 10 have the
government provide work and pay for
them, and then surround the legislation
by acts that make the government al
most powerless 10 get any work from
them while their pay Is secure. In fact
they virtually ask TO be made almost
absolute pensioners without any resson
for being pensioned except that they
came into the world wittout their con-
sent and that the world owes them
living, This army attracts TO itself

eliminate ali delctcrious clements from the
