MEMORIAL DAY.
Arrangements for Celebration Al
Made by Abilene Post No. So.


Nearly half a century has passed
since the firing on Fl. Sumter opened
the most Obstructive and momentous
conflict Of modern times. Neither
time nor events have availed to
diminish the importance Of that
struggle, or lessen the value OF Its
results. Long and bitter was the
strife, for the Great Rebellion was the
iercest conflict that has ever shaken
the earth. A nations wealth may be
measured BY the number Of just
battles 1t has fought and the right
eous victories it has won. Nations
who have no Fourth Of July to
celebrate; no WAshington's birthday
to commemorate; no graves Of fallen
patriots, who struggled unto death
in behalf Of their convictions to decor
ate are poor, indeed.

AS IN YANKEELAND

derers in the religious desert have been trying to feed their souls on theological roots and herbs, cactuses and poison ivy; and spiritualism, the Holy Ghost and Us, Dowieism, Mormonism, the Holy Jumpers. the Rollers and thousand and one other forms of religious mania have disturbed the peace and congested the asylums; but the most constant and pernicious of all our manias has been the doctrine that ium is materialzed Satan and water, not grace the main essential of salvation.
 The waters of prohibition, like the waters of Srt sea have their tides; they ebb and flow: they sweep over the state swamping, soddening and saddening the body polite; they recede, leaving a wake Of mud and nausea behind them; but the fellows who live and have their being in the agitation of pump water keep on pumping as ceaselessly as relentlessly. They haven't boosted the religion of char ity, tolerance and common sense to any extent, but they have given rum a bad name. driving it into clubs, drug stores and back alleys, decreasing its quality without curtailing it's quantity, lowering the moral tone of the community by plac- ing a premium on hypocrisy, and multi pying the prigs and humbugs in a com munity already consested with them.
 Prohibition preaching has become a pro- fession as common here as the clair Noyant, the Iheulull, the loFluie teHer, the quack doctor. the fake healer, the mind curer and all the other opponents of humbug, whom nothing but the plague or the wrath of God will remove from earth. Therefore, o son of Kentucky, we give you greeting and sympathy; the disease must run it's course: some forms of in- sanity are shorn of their consequences by the fatuity and punkness of legisla- tion; and all that bedeviled community can do is to trust in providence and the healing influences of time.

This asso- citation is now in good condition and the members are expecting this year to be the best in it's history. So far the en- rollment in this organization has run to 1s5.
 Several prohibition meetings have been held by the ladies of the town There is an organized effort among the ladies throughout Lee county for the cause of prohibition and it is believed that the election will be carried on October IA. At the first meeting of the ladies in An- burn Mrs. C. C.

From the Boston Transcript.
 Henry Watterson does not take kindly to prohibition and the more he thinks about it the more it rolls the bile of the most amiable and best-balanced man in Kentucky. Our sympathies go out to the colonel: we know all about what he be- lieves is before him; we have lived in prohibition places "as dry as hell and Maine' as Kentucky puts 1t, and we know exactly how it's fakery, hypocrisy, fatuity and sheer humbug move the bowels of a mans wrath. But we have grown used to it. and have even taken some interest in trying to solve the prob lem Of how a sane and sensible popula- ton will allow a gang of vociferous phari- sees to stampede them into action which is neither good for God or man, tem- perance or decent living.
 If the colonel will but be patient, save his temper and exercise the philosophy that has kept him sane and sweet in a region given over to manias, To these 40 years he will in time see the gorge of the south rise against the falSery posing as virtue and the humbug posturing as morality, and the states swing back to that temperance and tolerance which are as far from prohibition as the grass is from the stars.
 Up here in this Arcadia of isms and
 
 adies. we are surprised at nothing which masquerades as religion and reform; and we have noted that the decline of re- ligion and sanity is in about the same proportion as the increase in prohibition. The day was when the parson was the whole shooting match in New England; in the good old days Americans took their religion and their rum stiff and straight; and when the Calvinism of this region cooled off and the Yankee took to more aqueous ways of saving his soul he began to water his rum and to regard the parson as negligible quantity.
 Rum and water with sugar was mild and delectable tipple, and under it's dulcet influence the Yankee grew tolerant and agreed to let his neighbor save or damn his soul in his own fashion, and the emo tional and denunciatory gentleman in the pulpit was marked down and relegated to the bargain counter.

SMALL SURPLUS RESERVE.
Large Loss of Cash for the Week Fore
 shadowed the Condition.

New York, October 5.-The Finan- cier will say: Last weeks official state ment of the New York Associated Banks disclosed very narrow margin of surplus reserve, as was expected from the large loss of cash which was foreshadowed by..the estimates of the results of the known movements of money during the week; the surplus was, however, greater by $1,S00,O 900 than was shown on July 6, and $2,500,- 900 more than that indicated January 6, when the minimum of the year was recorded.
 The cash loss was $7,671,100 or about $2,333,0 900 greater than that which was estimated; this discrepancy was doubtless due to the bringing over into last week of the Nnrecorded aver ages of the previous week.
 General deposits decreased $1S,49O,- 400 as the result of contraction in loans and of the loss of cash. The required reserve against such deposits was reduced S4622,600, deducting which from the decrease left in cases s2. .99S, ,500 as the diminution in surplus reserve to $2,64S,075. Computed un- der the basis of deposits less those of $32,514,900 public funds, the surplus is $10,776.S00.
 It may be noted that there was an increase of $901 300 in government de- posits, compared with those recorded in the previous week. Loans were contracted 11,2S5, 100, chiefly as the result of the cancellation of those that were temporarily made in the previous week. when deposits of funds by cor porations in anticipation of the distri- button of October interest and divi- dends were so employed. The daily average of the bank clearings during the week was S297,000, ,000, against s254, 100000 the previous week. Clear ings on Saturday. reflecting Fridays business, was $267 ,000, ,000.
