Another Memorial Day.

The Both Of May, which this year
comes on Sunday next, is TO many all
over our broad land the saddest of the
vesr, aud vet to each and every indi-
yidual mourner comes the comfort OF
sympathy inspired by The knowledge
that thousands are weeping oyer SIM
liar losses. Each day and hour those
of our dear ones who have gone from
Us are missed, missed in go many ways,
ways that others know not of nor think.
nor care, but on Memorial Day, as each
year familiar form, dear to some
other family, is missed from the march,
0 Kindred sympathy is aroused and all
people, regardless of color, nationality
or religion, mourn with those who
mourn and tenderlv drop flowers upon
the graves Of those in honor and mem
DRY Of whom the dav is set apart. Let
us one and all pay tribute of love to
she memory of those who so ably de
tended our country in times Of danger.
Monday last was the 10Th birthday
OF Victoria, and her SUBJECTS still sing
"God Save the Queen"
81 owe the union men a debt. l
don't mean money. ! mean my good
ill."-Mayor Starkweather. And You
proceed to rob Peter to pay Paul.
We hope that Judge Parker is not
90 heartless as to sentence any human
being to thirty days reading the Leader.
It WAS bad enough in all conscience to
sentence man to two weeks in Duluth,
bDt thirty DAYS reading the Leader. No,
Judge. Be merciful. Send the culprlt
TO the asylum at once.
The west morning lumInary devoted
little space to comments on flag IN
cident in Winnipeg the other day, and
went out of his way to Insult all Can
adams because Of the silly freaks OF a
few Orangemen, for whose actions the
people of Canada are no more respOn-
sSble than the American people are for
ehe utterances of tail-twistIng anti
Britishers of the jaw and quill variety.
When our actions are above reproach
it will be time enough to lecture other
people.
We have to thank John J. Rob
erts. Warden, for a copy Of the
third biennial report Of the State
Board of Control. for the two
years ending September 3Gth, 1896,
From it we learn that the total cost of
management of the seven state institu-
1icns under the Board of Control for the
past two years was 81 ,OS7 ,a52.79; the
average population for 1866 >, sos and
2.42O respectively; yearly cost per capita,
3209.20; weekly per capita, 81 o..
Mayor Starkweather thinks the po
lice force is too large, and wants four
men discharged, but the power to dis
charge a policeman is vested in the
commission and even it cannot dis
charge Z man without good cause, so
that it is very hard to see how the men
will be removed. The men who con-
cocted the commission law had great
heads on them. They should be con-
demned to read the Leader for thirty
days.
1.-THE ladies' ought not to work, it
units them for married lite for which
they were intended bv the Creator.
They ought to be kept home and some
of you young stays should be their hus
bands. Mayor Starkweather.
This is stubborn fact expressed in a
homely way. If men would rule accord
ing to the Christian law there would be
fewer women forced to 90 out INTO the
world to look for work, but being false
to the law ofthe Creator which intended
that men should labor, be the providers,
they have driven women and girls into
the labor market who would much pre-
fer to adorn home. For the evils to
which the mavor refers the men are
mostly to blame. Give men employ
ment and the evil will gradually dis
appear.
