TO our view the Chicago incident did
far more to obliterate Mason and Dixon s

since the war Oswego Palladium.
The Confederate monument dedicated
at Chicago is something moro than pure
granite shaft, with tablets of bronze. 1t
is a monument to the good sense and gem
uiue patriotism of the American people
New York World
When fair southerners strew flowers on
the graves of the Union dead, and the poo
pie of Chicago assist in the dedication of
Confederate monument, it Is safe to con-
clude that in some portions of the country
at least the cruel war is ended.-Det
Free Press.
History furnishes few events as encour.
aging as the dedication of the Confederate
monument in Chicago. 1t shows that the
soldiers of the north and of the south are
not only brave enough to do battle, but
they are brave enough to forgive and for
get.-Detroit Tribune.
They can unyeil all the Confederate
monuments they please. It is not the
cause.-the lost cause-they are honoring,
but the bravery and life some men gave to
that cause. The cause itself is as dead and
buried as the quarrel of Ghibellines and
Guelphs.-Cincinnai Commercial Ga
zette.
Among those who participated in the
unwilling of the Confederate monument at
Chicago yesterday were some of the brayest
and most noted men who fought in the
Union army. If such men saw nothing
improper in attending the exercises, it is
for others to refrain from criticism
Grand Rapids Democrat.
The monument erected in Chicago to
the Confederate dead who died in prison
there was unveiled with appropriate cere-
monies and without kindling the fires of
rebellion. From flowers watered with tears
treason does not grow. Southerners are
not worse but better for grieving over the
unreturning brave, their comrades in lost
cause.-Terre Haute Gazette.

Her death was caused by heart fall

family were aware of her critical
state. She was SO years OF age. AL
though deprived of the blessing of
sight from childhood, she was al
ways cheerful and loyable, and her
sweet disposition drew around her
large circle of friends. She was a
graduate of the Institution for the
Blind at Romney, Hampshire coun-
ty. and possessed bright intellect,
which she cultivated and improved
by an extensive course of reading.
For many years member of Zion
Episcopal Church, she was con-
slant attendant at worship and set
a Christian example worthy of emu
lation. She was an ardent student
of the Bible and New Testament,
and could quote from memory every
utterance of the Saviour and His
disciples. She bore her affiiction of
blindness with Christian fortitude,
and was ever patient and cheerful.
A family of devoted parents and
brother and sisters spread sweet
flowers of comfort along her path of
| life and enabled cheerfulness and
happiness to mark her patient jour
ney. After short life of Christian
love and beauty

To sing with saints his praises,

Oh would were with JesusI
To dwell with him above,
To sing with saints his praises,
His ncvcr-dying love.
oh, then I'd see my brother,
And join that happy band,
| To dwell and wait for mother,
Within that happy land.
And then when God shall call her

headway for the use of a "Chemica
