Memorial Day.

Today is the anniversary when the I'm
ion dead live again and their presence is
felt by all who come In contact with the
spirit in which surviving comrades OBJ
serve it. 1t is an occasion that this coun-
try cannot afford either to observe in un-
seemly manner or to devote to the ordi-
nary every day pursuits. When that for
which the dead soldier battled shall have
been achieved in the fulness thereof it
will be the duty Of the people of this coun-
try to observe the day with view to the
future. Today we look backward for the
inspiration of example in order to- better
take up the work that is before us. Ac-
companying this should be the resolve
that the principles at stake when these
men shared in the shock of arms shall
never be obscured They are immortal
though debris be allowed to partially hide
them Memorial day serves to bring these
principles out more clearly, to sharply de-
fine them and to point them out illum-

The old veteran is passing away, as are

the ranks there are yet those who have
the promise of many years Of useful life
before them. May they live long and ex-

riotism to those who come after. May
they long continue to help make the cele-
bration of Memorial day do for the future
what the celebration of Independence day
did for the generations prior to the Civil
War.

Louisville, KY, June 3.-Republi-
cans are coming in from all parts of the
state to attend the state convention in
this city Wednesday. A great deal of
ieterest has been displayed in the con-
vention and the delegates are very en-
thusiastic. They believe they have a
good chance to carry the state in the
fall elections, and the places on the
ticket are being eagerly sought after.
They base their hopes OF success on the
fact that harmony prevails in the party,
while the democrats are badly split over
the free silver question and the senate
rial and gubernatorial contests. The
convention will undoubtedly declare for
sound money. Col. William o. Brad
ley of Lancaster will be nominated for
governor.
