THE BILL SHOULD PASS.

As an evidence of how our government sometimes conducts business on the prin- cipie of How not to do it. the Mercer monument is a shining example. Doctor Hugh Mercer was one of the first to testify his devotion to the cause of his adopted country and among the first to seal that devotion with his blood. Born in Scotland, he was educated at the Uni- versity of Aberdeen as physician. His adventurous nature caused him to espouse the cause of the Young Pretender," Charles Edward, and on the failure of the young Prince he emigrated to Ameri- ca in 1747, settling in Pennsylvania. Here General Braddock's army in which he was appointed captain. At the battle with the French and Indians on the |Monongahela River. July 9. 1755. he was so badly wounded that he was unable to keep up with the other fugitives in their flight from that disastrous field and wandered for several weeks in the forest alone before he reached place of safety.
 One might think that such an experi- ence as he had acquired in his two ventures would cool the military ardor of most men. but it didn't have that effect on the Scotch blood of pr. Mercer. Hav- ing settled fin Fredericksburg, Va, we find him drilling the minute men in 1175 and the State militia in the ensuing year. On June of that year the Continental Congress. at the request of Washington. appointed him a brigadler general and he at once entered into active service. At the attack or Princeton, in January. TIT he was mortally wounded and died on the 12th. The Congress at. once took. ac-
 ton and ir April of the same year that
 body directed" that suitable monument be erected with this inscription:
 Sacred to the memory of Hugh Mer- cer, brigadier general in the army of the
 United States. He died on the 12th of January, TIT. of the wounds he received on the 3d of the same month, near Prince ton, in New Jersey, bravely defending the liberties of America. The Congress of the United States. in testimony of his virtues and their gratitude, have caused this monument to be erected"
 That was a century and a quarter ago, but the directions of the Congress went like it's continental money and never amounted to anything. Of course it is not expected that Congress can erect monuments to all the deserving heroes of the Revolution, but in considera tion of the distinguished character and services of General Mercer, and in view of the | fact that the Continental Congress made
 the first movement in the matter, we
 really think our government should erect | a suitable memorial to this noted Scotch l American. who was So willing to offer himself in defence of his adopted home.
 A bill has been introduced in the House | to appropriate money and provide for the | erection of the monument but we have
 not kept up with the proceedings and dc
 not know the status of the bill It ought | to pass.
