MEMORIAL DAY
BY MARY CLARKE HuNTINGTo

BY MARY CLARKE HUNTINGTON
For those who fell on battle fields,
For those who sank beneath the sea-
Yet knew such joy as victory yields,
Though dying at foeman's knee
That freedom dwells with you and me;
For all which anxious love e'er rears-
For mothers prayers and daughters
tears,
For sweethearts' clingirg, wifely pain,
We twine memorial wreaths again.
For all the noble strife and fears
Of hearts that toiled-and not in vain
To ease humanity's great ache,
Then died content for truths dear sake
In the last cycle of the years,
We twine memorial wreaths-and, fain
To trust glad auguries, we see
The light of this new century
Shine DER the world with peace to be /!

THE TRIBUNE'S DESIRE.

Wrangling between local newspapers
Is productive of evil, rather than good,
in any community, and as 1t is the mis-.
sion of THE TRIBUNE to assist in the
upbulding Of our Indian river country,
the recent mud singing has been dis
tasteful to us in the extreme. We
have no inclination to continue the con-
tenton, but feel constrained to defend
ourselves against the malicious TRADE of
irresponsible parties, merely BY stating
truthfully the facts involved,
THE TRIBUNE is aware that many of
its readers share its contempt for such
subjects, and TO them il extends not an
apology, but assurances Of its regret
that il should have been forced, in de-
Tense Of itself and the responsibility Of
Fort Pierce, to participate in the con-
troversy; but it holds as an obligatory
duty to itself and the community plain
statement of facts to Offset the ground.
less, vicious and ridiculous charges
which our contemporary has seen fit to
publish and then proceed privately to
attempt the cultivation of sentiment
among those whom it has wronged,
with view to eliciting sympathy and
placing itself before the public in the
light Of martyr.
Little sympathy, THE TRIBUNE thinks,
will come from those unfortunate ca
inhabitants who were here located be-
fore our contemporary radiant wisdom
outshone the southland sun and taught
them the rudments of common decency
So those who, in their ignorance and de-
pravity, (?) maintained instead Of a
clearly, prosperous and intelligent mu.
nicipality, "a dinky, dirty hole" The
News now apparently seeks to elicit
sympathy and support by Aagrantly
thrusting this insult at the people who
extended it such a warm welcome.
Both the author and the publisher of
such an insult should hide their faces in
the Businesses of the big cypress. That
they have not done so is evidence of
their brazen effrontery.
THE TRIBUNE will defend itself and
the people and officials Of the county
against such rotten palaver, as long as
the day of grace is vouchsafed by
kind Providence.

THE recent heavy rainfall has put the
pineapple plantations in excellent con.
dition. They have taken the fertilizer
in a most satisfactory manner, and,
barring the possibilities of a freeze, a
large crop is assured the grower next
season. The most menacing cloud upon
the horizon at this time is the discrimi.
nation in freight rates in favor of our
foreign competitor, Cuba. If this can
be dispeled the East Coast can hold its
own against the world. From the view.

EXPERTS say that the consuming
millions of this mighty republic never
had so much money to spend as at
present. THE TRIBUNE begs to sug.
gest that they hang onto it until next
June or July, when the East Coast of
Florida will be in position to accept a
million or so, in exchange for pine
apples, and give value received.

PROSPEROUS STUART.

The attention of our readers is in.
vited this week to the Stuart depart
ment on page 6, The enterprise charac-
teristic of this husting community on
the St. Lucie river is worthy of more
than the casual recognition usually &C.
corded villages of its size; and by plac.
ing at the disposal of Stuart several
columns of space, as a regular feature,
through which it's social and industrial
events may be chronicled, THE TRIBUNE
seeks to substantially assist the pro.
gress of this exceptionally favored sec.
ton and in measure to reciprocate the
Wholesome interest and cordial support
which it has enjoyed at the hands of its
myriad of faithful friends and co.
workers on the st. Lucie river.

Told at Reaimental Reunions.


Down at the reunion of our regi-
ment at New Philadelphia, Ohio, two
weeks ago" said the Sergeant. Il met
good many of Dan McCook's men,
and each one told some story OF the
Colonel Henry Conkelton of Compa-
ny G. Flfty-ffth Ohio, was the best
wrestler, with one exception, in the
brigade. The exception was a man
canned Nelson, who was the cham
Dion. Conkelton, however, was
matched against all the wrestlers in
the brigade. and he was always the
winner except when our own boys had
bet too much money on the other
man.
"Col. McCook was greatly interested
in athletics. and when the wrestling
matches occurred near his quarters
was always an interested spectator.
At the end he always invited the
wrestlers in to take drink, and Con-
kelton admits that when he thirsted
for a drink he would inveigle some
other thirsty man into a wrestling
match, go down 20 Col. Dams head
quarters. and wrestle simply for the.
drinks that the Colonel was sure g
give them.
Although Conkelton handled him
self well in any kind of scrap he
kept out Of controversies and per-
sonal encounters. On one occasion,
however, he came upon large, strong
man bullying small man who had
not fully recovered from siege In
the hospital. The large man inslsteo

to fighting. but he would not see a
boy or an old man abused, and II Jack
persisted he would have to lick him.
