fiods valifa1lc between Mr. Bel
mont and Mrs. Sloan while they have
served to protect them somewhat, as
the rotten nobility of Europe is pro-
tected in it's laisons from public
wrath by its noble rank and station,
at the same time render their case the
more fragrant and reprehensible.
They are shining marks, so to speak, in
the public eye. The vulgar among the
masses, seeing with what impunity
these prominent and apparently rep
resentative leaders of high American
society cast aside the laws of decency,
are encouraged in their ignorance to
give the freer rein to their lawless
instincts and baser passions to the I'M
doing of the marriage tie and the an
Inhalation and contempt of all that is
most sacred and dear to true and God
fearing manhood and womanhood. 1t
takes but little to leaven the whole
loaf and the evil process has begun
on our national life when the Ameri-
can people are treated to the spectacle
of both law and clergy conniving at
gross immortality in thigh life
In censuring the minister who dis
graced his cloth by uniting Mr.. Bel
mont and Mrs. Sloan the General AS
ISOLATION of Congregational Ministers
of Connecticut did we'll. 1t would
have done better to have expelled him
from the ministry. The passage Of
resolutions forbidding congregational
ministers to marry any divorced per-
sons who have been shown guilty by
the decree and also binding the men,

vorce question and to use all their
powers to bring about uniform divorce
laws might be adopted by every re-
lgious body and association in the
land with vast profit to the cause of

home, our national bulwark. Only by
such stringent action-which carries

life be kept from ever and rapidly in

BIG ELECTRIC RAILROAD PLAN.

BIG ELECTRIC RAILROAD PLAN.
The deadlock now existing in the
Wellsburg Council between tie rival
claimants for the franchise between
Wellsburg and LeaZearville, has
brought to light the project to unite
Wellsburg with Wheeling by that meth
cd of communication, not along the
river, as has been heretofore under
stood, but across the country, via West
Liberty. Prominent men are behind a
plan to run an electric line from the
present terminus Of the Elm Grove and
Triadelphia line, at Triadelphia town,
to West Liberty, a distance of about
eight miles, and thence to the river at
Wellsburg. 1t is said that free right
of way and substantial subscriptions,
besides, can be secured along the entire
route, and that the matter will take
tangible shape in a short time.

FAVORABLE TO YOUNG MEN.

Do young men without capital but
full OF business, energy and ambition
realize how greatly times have changed
for their benefit in twenty years. Then
loans were not so easy to obtain even on
fair security at 10 per cent interest, and
no one expected a lower rate; now the
rate is but little if any more than half
that. In spite of all our groans and
lamentations these are the times for the
young man who is full Of days work
and business talent; the MAI we are
sorry for is the old fellow who has re-
tired and is trying to live on his capital.
1t takes fully $50, 900 to bring in as large
a net income as $50, 600 yielded in 1879.
His taxes are just as high, his interest is
u In two and his money is not ''out'
as much of the time. So don't jeer
when he scolds about his taxes and the
public improvements. His nose is on
grlndstone, and you ought to feel sorry
for him though you yourself are helping
at the turning Whitewater Register.

Soldiers Picnic at La Crosse.

The old vets picnic advertised for La
Crosse, last Friday, was not as largely
attended as anticipated, owing to the
unusually busy condition of farmers.
1t was hoped to have a rousing reunion
of the old boys and the formation of a
veterans league of this section of the
state. The latter proposition was
abandoned. There were present from
this section Capt. M. G. Nichols, Ell. c..
Gosling, j. J. Willsey, Ole ]. Nustad
and Simon Omundson.
General Henry Harnden, srate depart
ment commander of the G.. A. R., the
soldier who captured jeff Davis, was
present and delivered an address. We
CLEAN from it the following statements.
taken from the press reports, which will
he OF interest to soldiers and readers
generally.
General Harnden said that some people
nave an idea that the G. A. r. is a Sc
cret order and condemn it on that ac-
count, but it is not, neither is it a politi-
cal or religious order-white mel, black
man, red man, Catholic or Protestant,
or any sort of a man who served in the
civil wal and has an honorable dis
charge, can join the G. A. R.. and be
entitled to all the privileges and benefits
of the order. General Harnden pre-
sented some interesting statistics. The
first 1t. A. r. post was organized in
Decatur, Illinois, in the spring of 1866.
The second post was organized in Spring
held soon afterwards and other posts
then followed rapidly, and inside of a
year several states were represented in
the order. The first post in Wisconsin
was organized in Madison. June 7, 1866.
The first @. A. r. national encampment
was held in Indianapolis in the fall of
1866. 1t was presided wei by General
John N. Palmer. There were 26, 367
soldiers and sailors of the civil war re-
siding In Wisconsin in 1895; but 9. 100
have died since then. Of the veterans
now living 10, 936 belong to the G. A. R.,
leaving 1880 outside of the order.
There have been oS4 deaths in the state
the past year
General Harnden presented figures
to prove that the charge of a New York
newspaper that there are more pension
ers In the United States than there
are soldiers alive, is false. According
to his figures there are $40, 1859 civil war
veterans out of 1904, 4St who are not
drawing pensions. He said the death
rate among old soldiers is increasing
rapidly and the time is not far distant
when every old soldier will have passed
away. If the present death rate
continues there will only be $40, 600
left in 1920, and in 1910 they will be ex-
tinct.
In speaking of the benefits to be de-
rived from belonging to the G.. A. R.,
the speaker called attention to what the
order had done for its afflicted members
in New Richmond and cited many SINH
lar cases. More than half of all the PEN
sion laws have been enacted Indirectly |
