Justice Anderson Address.

Justice Anderson said: We are here to-
day because the men whose memories
we delight to honor were oar own conh-
trymen, who died on the field OF mortal
combat that the nation might live that
liberty and the equality of human rights
might not perish from the cart. We
come to mingle our tears of anection, ana
&c scatter sur floral tributes OF love over
the graves of our noble dead. who per
shed gloriousiy in a great civil war
These men went forth at their coun-
try's call inspired by two Immortal
ideas. first, that liberty might be UNI :
versal in America. and. second, that THIS
starry flag should for all time be recog-
niZed the world over not the flag or
divided country, but of an undivided
union of the states. forever supreme over
every foot of our national territory
The silent eloquence of the heroic
dead at whose graves we stand today
should not only quicken orr patriotic inn
pulses. but should lead us to reverentiy
contemplate what il cost to maintain
these two great ideas; not that we can
thereby add auGht to their imperishable
glory but rather that we may in some
measure catch the inspiration of their
mighty faith and heroism and renew
once more our own devotion to the old
flag under whose folds they marched
and fought and died.

Memorial day exercises were held on
the battlefield of Gettysburg. and hosts
of Grand ARM men iourneyed thither
to view again the fields which marked
the turning point II the civil war and
to do honor to the memory of their
comrades who fell there and elsewhere
in the battles for the preservation OF
the Union. Hundreds of visitors of the
younger generation also participated in
the Gettysburg services. and altogether
the celebration was one OF the most
notable Of recent years on the historic
Pennsylvania field.
The Grafton of the day was delivered
by Representative J. Sloat Fassett Of
New York.
Representative Fassett's Address.
In part he said:
I'VE are here as loyal citizens of the
United States to mourn and praise our
dead.
The battle OF Gettysburg was otable
for the number Of men engaged. the long
list Of the dead and wounded. the illus
trious names OF the leaders on both sides,
the distinguished bravery of the com
batants. and, above all. for the mighty
issues which were here involved-the in
tesrity of nation and the emancipation
OF a race.
There has never been any primrose
path to victory: there has never been
any painless conquest OF great advance
of universal benefit. The precious plants
of liberty have been watered by the tears
and nourished by the blood of countless
generations. No great freedom has ever
been established by spontaneous growth.
nor has 1t ever been self-sustaining or
self-protecting.

Senator Browns Remarks.


This is day sacred t, the memory Of
our countrys heroes. The nation which
forsets its defenders will soon find itself
without defenders because to forget them
is to forget the lessons they taught and
the things they stood for. To forget
them is to forget the highest ideals of Il
patriotic people. No people can advance
and at the same time lose devotion to
their ideals.
An executive can accomplish little I'M
less he has the real sympathy and sup
port of the people. What could Grant
have done without the loyal and agrees
Sive help of the men in the ranks? In
the White House today there sits a man
chosen President of the United States
by the people of the United States. 1t
is immaterial on this occasion to dis
cuss or to know what his politics are.
The materials fact is, he is the President
OF all of the people Why was he chosen!
Because he stood for certain things.
He told the people what those things
were and the people understood what
they were. and when they voted for him
they testified that they would support
him in giving to the people the policies
he stood for. 1t is not the old soldier
today who stands in the way of the
President in keeping faith with the peo-
pie. 1t is not the old soldier who shouts,
L believe in the President, but I am
opposed 10 Nlldt tHe ITeSlueHt NdHtS-
The old soldier takes the stand that the
great policies advocated by the President
chosen by the people should be written
in the laws of the land.
Rev. Father Eugene A. Hannah rector
of ST Martins Catholic Church, delivered

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

The fact that one case of typoid
fever has developed in the city calls
attention to sanitary conditions pre-
vailing here at the present time 1t
ought to be sufficient to remind every
citizen that it is their indispensable
duty to see that their premises are
cleaned UP. Officials should also be
on the alert and it might not be out
OF the way for the grand jury which
is to meet next week, to instruct the
proper authorities to enforce the law
in regard to sanitation.
The Record dislikes to own up to
1t. nevertheless 1t Is fact, that the
sanitary conditions here are abomni-
BILE and the only way way i.7e can ac-
count that there has not been an
epidemic of contagion is that we live
in health giving climate. However
this may be, there is no assurance
that we will always escape scouragt
of some kind. Don't wait until some
of your loved ones are called before
a thought is given to the matter OF
disease and its prevention. There is
a woeful lack of civic pride in this
town and 1t ought to be corrected

Current Comment
The Canadian Idea.


variety of reports are being re-
ceived from the British northwest,
where the natives are strenuously en-
gagged in enticing immigrants and sell
ing them land. Some of these reports
are POLITICALLY and passionately opti-
mistic, while others are sent back by
immigrants who feel as though they
have been painfully stung.
One thing there is however, upon
which all agree, namely the. fact that
Canadian law is enforced and that
the man who breaks it goes to jail,
no matter how long his sack, nor how
strong his pull.
This may seem trivial matter as
an incentive to colonization, but il
really carries weight with the Ameri
can farmer, who grows weary of the
laws delays.
Happily there is a growing spirit in
the United States to enforce the Grim
nal code, particularly in the case OF
malefactors of great wealth, as partic
| ularly evidenced at Pittsburg, where
grafters and boodlers by the score
have been sent to prison within the

pickERsoNIAN sHouTERs.

Among this weeks arrivals in this
city were two officials of the state
OF Nevada, namely, W. B. Lyon, state
auditor, and ]. L. Considine, state
bullion tax and license collector. Os-
tensibly, these gentlemen came here
ON business connected with the Of
fees which they now hold. In reality
their visit was for another purpose
that of looking after the political
fences of the present incubent OF the
governors office and in the interests
Of the Dickerson machine In general
Auditor Lyon is supposed to check
up the books of the county officials
from time to time; while 1t is the
duty Of Bullion Tax Agent Considine
to keep close tab on the mining COM
panies and see what can be done in
the way of collecting share Of the
proceeds Of the mines In the shape
OF bullion tax. II the officials
had any intention of giving at
tention to official matters while here
they completely forgot them and
shirked duty to instill Dickersonian-
ism into local democrats. They seem
ed to have had "wad" along and
they left a goodly portion Of it with
Phoebe mixologists. That hospitality
Of theirs was simply great and one
could almost imagine 1t was near
election time.
