THE ADDRESS,.

The speaker said that no other post
could have persuaded him to leave his
pastoral duties at the end of the week,
but he could not resist the personal
element in the invitation from Chamber
lin Post of St. Johnsbury. Col. Chamber
lin was dear friend of his. No spot
appealed more tenderly to him than St.
Johnsbury and no soldiers were more
dear to him than those OF Vermont.
| am pleased to be here with you
and to spend an hour in gathering up
some of the lessons of the war. will
mention today few things that grow
clear with receding years. The contest
was inevitable. 1t had to be. You some
times hear northern soldier express the
thought that the difficulty might have
been settled in some other way. In
earlier years, perhaps, the course OF
affairs might have been so shaped as to
prevent the final outbreak but in 1861
it was no more to be prevented than sin.
The cloud had been gathering for over
80 years and it could hold together no
longer. Madness ruled the hour. The
agitation OF 80 years had only succeeded
in exasperating the South and humil-
ating the North. The South was like a
powder magazine, ready to explode at
the first opportunity. When it could no
longer rule, it decided to ruin. Itassumed
the awful responsibility OF plunging a
peaceful, prosperous country into war.
Nothing would satisfy them but arms.
The North could do nothing to prevent
it, but shrank with horror from the
thought of civil war. There could be no
conflict, said Lincoln, without the South
being the aggressor. The leaders of that
section deliberately precipitated war,
Another lact is the inexcusableness oi
the war on the part of the South. 1t was
as inexcusable on their part as it was
inevitable on ours. When the fathers o.
our country declared war against Eng
land they gave valid reasons for doing
so. The South gave none. The pages o
history may be searched in vain tor on,
valid reason. There were imaginary
reasons, but those all vanished at Apo
mattox court house. The South wa,
hopelessly immersed in false theories o
government and practically risked every
thing for the maintenance of slavery

| tives, when they lett their seats, gave n,

James Moore's House Burned.-Th,


farm house and barns Of James Moore
on the North Danville road were burned
to the ground shortly after dinner
Wednesday. The fire probably caught
around the chimney, and when it started
no one was in the house but Mrs. Moore.
She had barely time to save few plates
and some pictures before the house was
all in flames. Mr.. Moore was working
at the Hatchery, and did not hear of the
disaster until after the house was burned
up. One of the neighbors came over as
soon as he saw the fire and saved the
horse that was in the barn and fortu.
nately the other two horses were at
work away from the house. The house
was insured for $4,000 in the Vermont
Mutual, and the loss will be about 81 900
above the insurance. Mr.. Moore had a
good house and it was we'll furnished,
and he will receive much sympathy over
this loss.

readings, and feature OF the pro-
gram that creates establishment every
place is the songs, violin solos and
recitations by Master Tommy Purcell

we will get a very excellent musical
entertainment that is enjoyable from
first to last-not long, dull, classical
affair, but bright, interesting pro-
gram of music's choicest gems.

CONGRESSMAN NORRIS sums up
the matter of patronage, in an inter-
view with the editor of the Wadena
Pioneer, which will commend itself to
thinking men. He says: Sensible
men realize that when three or four
men are candidates for an Office only
one of them can be appointed. and in
each instance [ endeavOr to select men
for these positions whose fidelity to
the party is -undoubted and whose
competency is unquestioned. When
such a man is, recommended by ma
jority of the leading Republicans and
party workers in the locality where
the Office is, appoint them. No man
could do better: and am prepared to
stand the consequences"

1t is always gratifying to receive
testimonials for Chamberlain Collie,

Remedy in his own family and sold il
in his drug store six years, he should
certainly know. For sale by Hanson

If the Second district can't get to-
gether on some good man for govern
or or attorney general, what is the
matter with H. G. Hays of the Sleepy
Eye Dispatch, for secretary of state:
Hays is one of the brightest newspa-
per men of the state, and Second dis
trict republicans could not stand back
of more worthy republican. He
isn't a candidate of course, and this
mention is not intended as boom.
But if worst comes to the worst, he
would represent the district very
worthily in the state convention. Bob
Dunn, newspaper man, has made the
best auditor the state ever had, and
who knows that some other newspaper
man would not break all previous
records as secretary of state? The
record of that office for the past few
terms could be beaten by any good
man with both hands tied behind his
back and his eyes blindfolded.-
j.
That's right! Hays is not only one
of the brightest newspaper men of the
state. but an all-around, royal good
fellow, and has a hat full of first-class
firm and sound horse-sense brains.

1t is gratifying to know that Con-
gresham McCleary is appreciated in
his own district. Outside of it his re-
tirement, either voluntary or enforced
would be considered little less than a
public calamity. He has contributed,
no one will ever know how much, to
the strong and growing sentiment in
favor of sound money, and his SER

financial legislation to be undertaken
and successfully contaminated by his
party. Furthermore experience counts
for much in congress. He owes con-

CONGRESSMAN NORRIS may have
made some mistakes in appOrtioning
offices throughout the district, but
whoever did succeed in satisfying ev-
erybody>when a score or more were
after each Office? But Mr.. Morris has
made very good congressman, and
there is not the slightest question in
our mind but that he will be renomi~
mated and reelected next year. If a
congressman has got to be guaged by
the satisfaction given in parcelling
out lot of petty offices, it would re-
quire an angel from heaven to fill the
bill.-Elk River Star-News.
Very true. But with. that sort of a
representative, how many of the fell
lows now holding jobs would have
been appointed? Echo answers: Alvah
Eastman only.
