although thirty-one years have elapsed
since the close of the civil war, every
president elected by the republican
party had been q soldier 10 the union.
while our first republican president,
Abraham LiRcoln, was commander TO-
chief throughout the mighty struggle.
In this the republican party has follow

or, by British officer whose boots be

revolutionary conf ct, therefore, were
represented in the presidency with the
single exception already stated, for
half century after the revolution.
The prominent statesmen OF OR great
civil war have passed awy; indeed, but
few of them survived the war for any
length Of time; but Of the soldiers who
fought for the union there are still many
survivors, aud none more worthy than

SPANS CEMETERY.

The latest report from the United
States sanitary inspector at Havana,
covering the week ending with May 10,
indicates clearly what Weyler may e1-
pect before the rainy season now begun
has run its course. Yellow Jack is on
the increase in Havana, and finds its
victims chiefly in the military establish
ment. A heavy rainfall had just co.
curred-the first in several weeks. and
this, followed by intense heat and great
humidity, means the prevalence OF con-
ditious most favorable to the sprasd OF
the disease. Withe decided increase OF
the plague in the CAPITAL, where it can
best be fought, what must be the out
look in the field for the unscclimated
Spanish troops? The chances are that
within q month Wey ler's famous nom

its dead and closing up the ranks that
the insurgents will be able to bivousc all

E PLURIsUS UNUM.

Among the many mischievous express
sions of opinion that have come from
Spain during the controversy over Cuba
is that in case OF war the southern states
would take advantage Of the opportunity
afforded to attempt to secede from the
union. Spain apparently thinks that
because her policy has not succeeded in
making friends of one-time enemies, such
a policy is Impossible. This, however,
is what the United States has done.
The south is as much and as willingly a
part of the union as the north, eest or
west. There is cot travelled southern
er today who does not freely admit that
the states that attempted to secede are
better off in the union than they could.

seek landing in the south, in the be-

would soon convince it OF its error.

Bicycle Aphorisms.

1t is easier to climb a hill on asphalt
than to ride over the little bumps of a
rough stone psvement.-It ia the petty
snnoysnces of life, and not the strain of
great achievements that wear men out.
The olG-style bicycle began to disap-
pear IS soon as it was called the "ordir-
airy. '-Uniyerssl acceptance is the pre-
cusor Of oblivion.
The.mao who can ride in the gutter
without hitting the curb, could not ride
as nesr the brink OF a river-bank with
out falling 10. The realization of inn
pending danger makes disaster almost
inevitable.
The scorcher can boast Of his records,
but the SLOW rider enjoys beauties of
land and SKY which the former never
sees.-Successiul men sometimes waste
their lives IN amassing a fortune, and
neglect pleasures and opportunities that
are within the reach Of all.
The minister, the professor, the doc
tor. when on their bicycles, give the
right of way to the driver OF beer wa
gon.-We yield in daily affairs, cot to
our superiors but to those who happen
to have the power to harm US.
When the pneumatic tube is punctur-
ed, We wish for the solid iire.-The good
old times had some advantages over
these dsys OF modern con -eniences.
The slow bicycle wobbles, the swiftly
moving wheel does not swerve but it il

DURING his snti-bond bill speech. Hill

DURING his snti-bond bill speech, Hill
said:
This is plain. bold, open reputation.
Reputation, the dishonor OF your paper
and the di-honor OF your country is
what this measure means. The crime
OF 1873 psles into insiguitlcance beside
this contemplated crime. This measure
takes the government by the throat; it
holds up the treasury.
Perhaps he didn't notice it, but the
worthy Senator Pesnutti Hill has hereby
admitted that the act of 1873 was a
crime, and implied what We all know to
be true, that the characterization OF
silver took ali the people OF the land,
except the money changers, by the
throat and picked their pockets.
