Cruel Neglect of Lincoln.

| The Brooklyn Times calls atten-
tion to the fact that in the ceme-
terry at est Albans, Vermont, there
stands a monument in memory of a
Union soldier, one who died in An
derson prison, which bears the in
scription ascribing the death Of the
soldier buried beneath it to cruel
neglect and Indifference on the part
of President Lincoln. Over the
grave flutters the American flag, and

the Republic is conspicuous, show
ing that the dead soldiers comrades
honor his memory, in spite of the
attack upon Lincoln his monument

The Charleston News and Courier
is not concerned with the question
Of the wisdom Of the Grant policy
for ending the war between the
States. and. says that it was no
doubt true that the war could be
ended only by the actual elimination
of the fighting men of the South.
But that paper is concerned with
the fact that odium has been heaped
upon a people for thing which was
not fault of theirs. The paper
continues:
"Such suffering as there was at
Andersonville was similar to that
which the entire South endured.
When matters became desperate the
Confederate government was willing
to release Union prisoners without
exchange rather than have them con-
| tinue to suffer. but the Union author
tiles refused to even accept the
prisoners.

Many Strikers KILLED.

With the killing and manning Of
men in the strike at the works of
the Pressed Steel Car Company at
McKeeS Rocks, Pa, the trouble bids
fair to rank with the bloody labor
struggles at Homestead, Pullman and
other places at which men have
fought and died in dispute over con-
ditions Of employment. The COM
battants on one side were workmen
who maintained that they had been
unfairly treated by the introduction
Of a new pay system, and on the
other side members OF the State con-
stabulary, used to protect the COM
panys property and employees.
In addition there are hundreds
of strike breakers, who have suf-
fered severely when caught in groups
or individually by the infuriated
strikers. The trouble began in July,
when about 1000 workmen mainly
foreigners. struck against condition
which their spokesmen say amount
to virtually slavery. The reply Of

Stand by Your Schools.

There is not a school district In
the county but will lose some of its
resources by the closing of the dis
pensaries.. This, Of course, is a Sc
rious loss, but the people hould not
let it cripple their schools. they
should levy a tax sufficient to make
ND the loss the schools have sustain
ed through the closing of the dis
pelsaries SO the school term Will
not be shortened. The education
that the average boy or girl gets
is the most valuable asset that he
or she will have in the great battle
of life that is before them, and
which they must fight out whether
they want to or not. This is one
thing they can't get around. There
fore, it behooves every father and
mother to give their children the
very best education that they pos
sibly can. Most of the boys and
girls must get what education they
get in the neighborhood schools, as
comparativly few are ever sent off
to college. Therefore, it is very i'm
portant that the sessions Of the coun-
try schools should not be shorten
ed.
The best investment any communi-
ty can make, in the country or town,
is in good schools. In every COM
munity where a good school is main
tanned land values are bound to ad-
vance, and this is but one of hun
dred ways in which better schools
pay for themselves many times over.
The whole life of the community
is richer and finer wherever there is
good school at its center; the
citizens feel a pride in 1t such as
they never felt before, and every
thing in the neighborhood begins to
catch step with the new standard of
progress thus set up. 1t is not the
fertility of the land that makes it
valuable; it is the intelligence of the
community In which it is situated,
as the Progressive Farmer says.
Land in Africa today is more fer
tile than the average Southern farm
er of the uplands ever saw, but 1t
is practically worthless because of
an ignorant population, while land
in Belgium, originally little more
tthan a sand-Waste, has become in
tensely valuable by reason Of the
presence of an intelligent popula-
ton, and intensely fertile by reason
of the wise methods of cultivation
practiced by these intelligent farm
ers. Give yodr boys and girls an
equal chance with other boys and
girys by Aibetally sustaining your
schools. Even if a man has not boy
or girl to send, the school tax in
vestment is good one for any prop
erty-holder because of the increase
in values that always results from
the presence of an intelligent citizen

isfied employees of the company were
free to quit if the terms Of employ
ment did not please them.
After it was proved that the local
police and deputy sheriffs were un-
able to quell the demonstrations of
the strikers the State constabulary
was called upon for aid. This cul-
minated in a pitched battle, in which
some on both sides were killed. AS
soon as the battle took place the
strike was over, as whate, er sympa-
ty they had was withdrawn. La
boring men ought to learn from eX-
perience that when they are on a
strike that violence Of any kind on
their part will do their cause harm.
The place to remedy the evils they
complain of mostly is at the ballot
box, not on the battle field.
