Consistent Sympathy.

Throughout our history we have
scanned the horizon of the world TO,
the first signs of peoples struggling
out Of the bondage of imperialism of
force and legitimacy and into the light
Of liberty and self rule. For century
we have mourned the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of Poland and the death of Kosciusko.
Every day we hope for the freedom of
Ireland and the upraising of the Sham
rock. We saw the states of Spanish
America struggle against their oppres-
sor and we babe them take hope in
that strife and welcomed them to the
sisterhood Of the worlds republics
when their rebellion was won. We saw
Greece strive to free herself from the
tyranny of the Turk and we sent our
message Of good cheer. We knew the
fight that Hungary made and welcom-
ed with wild acclaim her hero, Kos
suth. We rejoiced with Brazil when
she sent Dom Pedro back to Portugal

Two Eulogies.

By the irony of fate and the exigences
of personal ambition, it becomes the duty
of the Hon. Joseph c. S. Blackburn to
pronounce the funeral Grafton at the coffin
of William Goebel. And of Goebel Sen
ator Blackburn said
''Build here over his grave mighty
towering granite shaft that shall defy the
corroding touch of time. Inscribe upon
it an eptaph that shall be worthy of the
man. He earned this at our hands. In
life and death he was consecrated to the
peoples cause. He lived an honest life,
and gave his life for your delverance. OF
him no eulogy but truth may say: Earth
never pillowed upon her bosom truer
son, nor heaven opened wide her portals
to receive a manlier spirit -
AtCovington, on Sunday, April IA, 1895,
little less than five years ago, the eulo.
gist of Goebel pronounced another funeral
Grafton. That time he stood by the coffin
of Col. John L. Sanford, who, like Goe-
bel, had been shot down in the highway.
And of Sanford Senator Blackburn said !:
"John Sanford was to me like brother.
loved him. I hope God may spare me,
and l shall make it my life's mission to
avenge him by burying his slayer in the
depths of merited public execration."
The slayer of John Sanford was William
Goebel. New York Sun.

LIncoIn,s Getty sburg Address.
DeliN ered at Gettysburg, Pa. November


DeliS cred at Gettysburg, Pa, November 10,
1868.
Fourscore and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent a
new nation, conceived in liberty and ded-
icated to the proposition that all men are
created equal. Now we ale engaged in a
great civil war, testing whether that ma
ton, or any nation so conceived and so
dedicated, can long endure. We are met
on a great battle field of that war. We
have come TO dedicate portion of that
field as a final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that that nation
might live. 1t is altogether fitting aid
proper that we should do this. But, in a
larger sense, we cannot dedicate-we
cannot conservative cannot hallow-
this ground. The brave men, living and
dead, who struggled here, have consecrat-
ed it far above our power to add or de-
tract. The world will little note, nor
long remember, what we say here, but it
can never forget what they did here. 1t is
for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work which they
who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. 1t is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining be-
fore us-that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure of
devotion--that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall have not died in
vain-that this nation, under God, shall
have a new birth of frecdom-and that
government of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from the
earth.

Granite Manufacturers VIII Not Yield.

The New England Granite Manufac-
turers' Association met in Wesleyan Hall,
Boston, Feb. 18Th, to discuss the schedule
OF wages and hours of labor presented by
the National Cutters Union The assoc
ciation indorsed the following:
y hereas, the Granite Cutters National
Union OF Boston, through its officers, inform
-'i the Granite Manutacturtrs of New Eng
land that under its constitution no negotia-
tion for wages and hours of labor Will be
had with the said manufacturers OF any com
mittee by them raised for that purpose
which does not provide IN advance conces-
sion and agreement for eight hours labor in
a days work and at least three dollars per
day as wages Now, believing that such
scale of prices will prevent the manufacture
of granite, We, the undersigned, hereby agree
with each other that we cannot accede to
said demands so required to be complied
with.
The above resolution was signed by the
following concerns: Bodwell Granite Com
pany, Aorcross Brothers, John Pierce,
Cape Ann Granite Company, Maine and
New Hampshire Granite Company, Booth
Brothers and Hurricane Isle Granite Com
pany, Hallowell Granite Company, Rock
port Granite Company, Mount Waldo
Granite Company, Pigeon Hill Granite
Company and the New England Granite
Company.
1t is understood the manufacturers
would be willing to grant the eight-hour
day if wages remain at their present rate.

guam canal is completed, then the har0ors
Of the Atlantic coast will be Gin it. I'm
til that far away time has come there are
but two rival ports fol the unlimited
handling If that commeice-puge Sound
and san Francisco bay.
Which of these has the better advantage
of the present situation? If the shores
of the Pacific coast along the American
continent, Southern Alaska, Siberia and
the Chinese Empire and Japan were spread
out on a fiat projection it would be found
that the course would be almost abso-
lutely direct in straight line. This
means that vessels from ports south of
the Sound would necessarily pass the
Sound in going to either of the countries
named. To go the way which looks most
direct on the ordinary flat map would be
like taking a great half ciTcle-or passing
needlessly about the larger circumference
of the globe.
In the study of political and CONNER
cial economy what, then, is to prevent the
major portion of the commerce of the
Pacific emanating from the ports of Puget
Sound? The question seems hardly de-
batable and the average citizen is content
to believe that the world will some day
learn what he already feels sure-that
here is grand commercial future in store
for the Puget Sound country and il is not
far away.

been brought here In citizens clothes, de-
MED all knowledge concerning this mat

over the state for the purpose of in
timidating the legislature. He said:
I'VE will summon about -2,o00 witnesses
here whose evidence Is. to be taken for
use before the state cpntesting board, and
many of them suppose will come, but
there will be no intimidation. I take no
stock in talk Of bloodshed."

Republicans are planning to get the gov

and 1t is stated that both senators Linds-
lay and Deboe have favored this course.
They say that Gov. Taylor and all of the
present incumbents of the state offices
will be sustained until the case is finally
determined IN federal tribunals.
