Colored Folks Aroused.

Pittsburgh, Pa, May 14.-The de-
cision of the Illinois supreme court de-
claring that marriages between slaves
prior to the emancipation of 1868 were
null and void, and that no marriage con-
tract between slaves could be valid, has
stirred up considerable discussion
among the colored people here. j. w.
Holmes, leading colored lawyer, says
90 per cent. of the 100000 colored
people IN this country are direct de-
scendants of slaves. If the Illinois de-
cision is recognized in future litigation
it will cause considerable confusion.
The precedent established will be dan
gerous to the vested rights of property
held by the descendants of slaves.

erected wholly at the expense of the
government, the numerous others hav-
ing been secured through societies of
army survivors. 1t is pronounced by
eminent critics to be the finest piece
of equestrian art in the city. The
sculptor is Henry j. Ellicott. It rep
resents Hancock as the sculptor saw
him during the battle of Gettysburg,
picture which Mr.. Ellicott declares
was indelibly impressed on his mem
DRY.
The principal address was delivered
by Senator John NJ. Palmer, of Illinois,
major general of the United States vol
unteers during the war. Senator Pal
mer's address was devoted to an eulogy
of the manly and soldierly qualities of
Gen. Hancock and contained beauti-
full tribute to his wife, who was his
biographer. Before the senator spoke
President Cleveland made a brief adj
dress. in which he said:
"Willngly pI ompted by patriotic inclina-
ton, we have assembled to witness a ma
tons appreciation of valient deeds in time
of war and its recognition of civic virtues
in time Of peace. We give this monument
to the dead. but the dead endows our gift
with significance which makes it of
priceless value to the living. 1t is an open
book constantly teaching the lesson Of sin
cere and steadfast love Of country. Those
who look upon its great proportions in
years to come will be reminded Of such sac
rifice and service as have made our nation
great and our people happy. With this
monument before our eyes those in public
station who are charged with the peoples
interests and with the making and eXecu-
ton Of their laws can hardly forget that
honest effort to secure the public veal
and stern insistence, at all times, upon
faithful and unseltish discharge of public
duty in the places they occupy, are as es-
sential to the safety and preservation of
all that Americans hold dear, as bravery
and heroism on the field of battle.
1.-THE perpetuity Of our popular govern
ment is pending upon our fidelity to the
principles. upon which it rests; the vast in
terests of a confiding people promoted and
guarded only by honesty and faithfulness
in their service, and obedience to those ma
tional obligations which our membership
in the family Of nations eXacts should be
sufficient to enforce upon those trusted by
their countrymen the lessons which this
monument teaches"
