1t has learned to their sorrow, that
companies or corporations are formed
under State Laws, and that State Leg

such organizations, while the Federal
government has no power over them.
But what have Democratic State legis-

In our sister State, Delaware, which

are threatened with a new pest, in ad
dition to San Jose scale, the ''yellows'

an importation from Germany, which

clamoring for liberty and national in
dependence
The speaker then emphasized the
principal events in the history OF the
Spanish-A Americau war. He referred
TO the causes thst led to the eruption,
and which we're assigned In the differ
ent messages of the President. He ex-
planned how the geography OF the world
had undergone some change, as Cuba
was now independent and Porto Rico
and the Philippines United States pos
sessions. Finally he made mention of
the enviable position which our coun-
| try now holds among the nations OF the
world, being the peer of them all. This
war had proven to the world that the
diadem of pre- eminence rests upon the
brow OF our youthful republic it has
united all the sections, and the flag of
our country is respected today as it
never was before-a flag whose many

posed OF many commonwealths, but a
nation united in the brotherhood OF

who had charge of the arrangements.
Father Rieken spoke in substance as
follows:
I'VE have assembled here this even
ing to welcome back the soldier boys
of Perryshurg to their homes, and TO
tender them this public ovation as a
testimonial of our love and esteem for
the patriotism they have exhibited to
the world In responding so promptly
and so generously to the bugle-call of
our country's Chief Executive in the
moment Of great crisis. And whilst
ii is true that all our volunteers did not
look into the mouths of the grim can
mons, nor bare their breasts to the de-
structive volleys OF their enemies, yet
we must confess that one and all de-
serve this public recognition of their
heroism, because every man who went
was willing to offer up his life as holo-
caust on the altar of his country when
ever and wherever that sacrifice should
be demanded of him. President Nc
Ktnley has Justly remarked that the
soldiers deserve all honor because of
their obedience to those who were ap-
pointed their superiors /; therefore all
without exception, as the President has
said, deserve national recognition for
the glory they have shed upon the flag
OF our common country.
Wherefore, we welcome you back
this evening to your homes, and re-
ioice with you at the speedy termina-
tion OF the Cuban war, Undertaken in
the name of humanity, no war in all the
annals OF history has ever been fought
with less shedding of human blood, an
seldom was a war finished more speed
! lily. Hence, what is more proper than
to rejoice with those who haye come
back to us-who are flesh of our flesh,
bone of our bone, and who speak the
language that we also speak?
"When the immor tai A braham Lin
coin sacri feed his life that the gives of
human thraldom might be broken. and
that government of the people, by

not perish from the EARTH he was
recognized as the nineteenth century
eman cipator by the orator, and the poet
thrilled along his deeds in graceful
verse and the nation is proud today to
perpetuate these memories in the an
nual memorial services of the Grand
Army.
ain view of these universal prin-
ciples, why should we ACT differently
tonight? Can we be untrue to or ma
tional traditions Shall we do violence
to the loftiest instincts of our nature ?
Shall we stifle the emotions which swell
the bosom of every honest American at
this moment? Oh, we cannot AS long
as our snoW-crowHed mountains will be
bathed in the pure sunlight OF heaven,
and our rivers sing In musical cadences
their journey to the sea, SO long will we
be true TO those high and holy impulses
OF our nature which the Almighty him
self has planted in the human breast.
Hence In these days, from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from the lakes to the
gulf, we witness one vast outp0urlng of
enthusiasm, one grand demonstration
of genuine American enthusiasm. We
are glorying not only in the hero OF
Manila, nor in the several Hercules OF
Santiago, but in every volunteer Spar

will be metallic circuit with the best
instruments and service that can be

any point both day and night. To do
this. contracts for not less than so tele-
phones must be secured by the pro-
Jectors OF the enterprise, in order to
make the venture safe one. Solicitors
will call upon the people for the pur-
pose of securing contracts and il Per-
rysburg desires to add TO the town a
system of telephone communication
the same as is being introduced in
other towns which seem to desire to be
up with the march of improvements
an opportunity will be afforded for
that purpose. 1t now remains entirely
with the citizens whether or not a
telephone exchange will be established
in this place.

Admiral Dewey being a Democrat that
it is interesting to know that he says
he came from Vermont, and that to be

is to be a man without a party. In re-

ufacturer wrote to him recently that
he was putting on the market a new
pattern OF Dewey hats and desired to
present one to the admiral, asking his
size. The admiral curtly replied that
he wore the same size hat that he did
before May l. The remark suggests
that some other OF the war heroes have
become Victims of the "swell-head. -
Judging from the magazine articles
and new books that have appeared, the
public might easily judge that the
average military and naval man wore
hat the size of a bushel basket II

evidently regard it is an ally for the
