THE leading manufacturers of agri­ cultural implements throughout tho country have formed a compact which virtually amounts to a boycott upon county and State fairs and agricultural exhibitions of all kinds. For the past twenty-five years the exhibits of these concerns have formed one of the prom­ inent features of the exhibitions throughout the United States. The agreement, which has been signed by fifteen of the eighteen principal manu­ facturers, including McCormick, tho W'illiam Deering, and the Aultman-Mil- ler companies, provides that during the season of 1891 the signers will abstain from exhibiting at any and all county and State and other similar exhibitions, and that they will not during this season furnish agents with printed matter to circulate at their county fairs in caso they decide to exhibit at tthuir own ex­ pense. The reason given for this «tep is that tho manufacturers have come1 to. tho conclusion that the thousands of dol­ lars spent in this kind of advertising brings no returns.

The annual encampments have always been occasions of great Jollifica­ tion, and now that the order has reached the quarter century milestone of its ex­ istence, it is not surprising that the ad­ vance guard on arriving In Detroit to celebrate the "Silver Anniversary" should greet each other with lusty hur­ rahs, hearty handshakes and hat throw- ings, under a profusion of bespangled and beribboned decorative draperies that formed a rainbow canopy across the line of parada From end to end of that long line of gray-bearded veterans as they entered Detroit there was not a gloomy face nor a heavy heart, for the rejoicing seemed to send an electric thrill through every form, banishing all gloom and sadness. The veterans came together this year like a holiday crowd in a city given up *o carnival. Even tho sober visage of Dr. Stephen­ son, the founder of tho Grand Army, as it looked down from innumerable ban­ ners upon tho happy faces of the anni­ versary throng, seemed to break into smiles in keeping with the moods of the merry hour. Tho war's wild alarms that called those young old men from the cheerful fireside to the touted field are W. O. VEAKKT. more than a quarter century forgotten, and, though there are stinging scars and aching bones still lingering as memen­ tos of the fearful days of carnage, these ceased from troubling while the heart made holiday throijgh the rounds of a military pageant. Grim and grizzled cannoneers wander­ ed along the parapets of old Fort Wayne, the time-honored guardian of tho city and harbor, and shouted merry ha-has down the iron throats of the monster guns. The meeting of old comrades was one of rejoicing and peace--peaco and its blessing ptehty aird exuberance of life, and means cf enjoyment; peace that was fought for, was purchased with toil and blood, was won in death struggles, and given to the nation by these merry­ making veterans. Thoy do not mourn, though they bear hurts that in all these years have never healed; they do not sulk, though never a painless night has soothed their lives from boyhood up to prematuro old age. They meant it to the last breath when they went to war, 3aying, " !Tis glorious to fight for one's country." Had thoy not meant it there would bo no country as wo know it to- m- % DR. B. T. STEPHENSON. Say, and no Grand Army; perhaps, also, DO peace. But what a (ask these veterans went a-bout in those days when their hearts were light with tho flow of fresh young blood--campaigns tho severest known to modern warfare; battles the bloodi­ est and most desperate of the a?e; hard­ ships that all the gold that was ever mined could not hire men to endure, not even in this ago of boasted physical hardihood. During the twonty-fivo years of its ex­ istence tho Grand Army of the Republic has had a remarkable career. It was organized at Decatur, 111., on April G, I860. Tho founder of the order was Dr. Benjamin F. Steohenson, who was Sur­ geon of the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry, and was must<yed o.it in 1804. It is a matter of general regret that Dr. Ste­ phenson did not live to see some of thp beneficial results from his labors. He died whon the order was struggling with adversity and political dissons ons. I'p to 1871 the organization grew but slowly, owing to its being regarded political and religious body. Gradually these in­ fluences disappeared, and a healthy and rapid growth set in. The first post commander was M". F. Kanan, and the first national commander Gen. Stephen A. Ilurlbut In 18(50 the first post was organized in New York City, tho charter being obtained from .Illinois. This post is the present Phil Kearney Po*t, No. 8. The New York department was organized in 1807. The first department commander was Col. J. B. McKeau, and the second (Jen. Daniel E. Sickles. Tho rank of commander-in- chief has fallen upon many distinguished soldiers since the Grand Army was or­ ganized. Hcie is the list: General S. A. Ilurlbut, Illinois, 1866-7. General John A. Logan, Illinois, 1668-70. General Ambrose £. Uurnside, Bhodo Ialr.ml. 1871-2. General Charles Devens, Jr., Maae&cbu- tetts, 1673-4. General John F.

During the last year 5230,000 has been expended in. relieving comrades, ex- soldiers, and their families. Nearly forty thousand people have benefited by the bounty of the order during the yoar. The aggregate amount exponded by the Grand Army posts for relief since 1871 has reached the sum of 93,500.000.

Tho amdunt of good done by tho order cannot be calculated. The Grand Ariny is a secret order, but its principles aro pretty well known. Its objects arc: "The preservation of those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together with strong cords of love and affection tho comrades in arms of many battles, sieges aud marches; to make these ties availablo in works and results of kindness, of favor and mutual aid to those in need of assistance; to make provision wheie It is not already done for the support, care and educa­ tion of soldiers' orphaus, and for the maintenance of the widows of deceased soldiers; for tho protection and assist­ ance of disabled so'dierg, whether dis­ abled by wounds; sickuess, old ago or misfortune, and for the establishment and defense of the late soldiery of tho United States morally, socially and po­ litically, with a view to inculcate a proper appreciation of their sorvices to their country, and a recognition of such services and claims by the American people." - The Grand Army has on its rolls over half the number of living veterans, and it is stronger than ever before. It ha9 •HAT was a mag- n i f i e n t t u r n o u t o f Grand ArAy veter­ ans in tho grand pa­ rade at Detroit. A sapper touched a light to a big can­ non in the park, and as the reverberations echoed over the City o f t h e S t r a i t s a m o u n t e d t r o o p wheeled around the corner of Woodward avenue and into the Campus Martius. It was followed by a mighty procession, miles and miles of it. On came the old posts and the old familiar banners Of Blair of St Louis, Thomas of Chicago, Lytle of Cincinnati, McCoy of Co­ lumbus--yes, all the posts from ocean to ocean, from Minnesota to Lou­ isiana; there were the old tattered, rag­ ged battle flags wfth their bullet-torn staffs; there were national flags with forty-four stars, and bands and bugle corps; there were life and drum corps of young b o y s, a n d there were fife and d r u m c o r p s o f o l d . grizzly fellows who served as musicians fffl during the war of the rebellion; there were the same old stirring ^ ^ airs--everything pa- trflOtic.

Yet, ADJUTANT GENERAL notwithstanding the QO0LDING. vast throng that lined the principal highways^ along a route that covered many miles, there was no confusion, no disorder, no trouble of any kind.

Estimates of men who gal­ loped along the line and through tho formation streets after the co urar had moved placed the men in line all the way* from thirty-five to fifty thousand. Every division was replete with interesting features. At the heatf- of the Indiana delegation1, Wallace Foster, Secretary of the Silent Army of Deaf Soldiers, Sailors, and, Marines, carried an Immense hannor with tho inscription, "Teach patriotism in the public schools n The only col­ ored member of the National Council of Administration of the Gra id Army, Jas., L.

It has done a great work in successfully urging an increaso of pen­ sions for disable:! veterans to help them in their advancing years. It has remov­ ed from the nation the disgrace of per­ mitting men to die and be buried as paupers in the land they had preserved by their bravery and self sacrifice. Monuments have been placed upon th<} ^kttlc fields of the late war, ai.d the departed comrades have been honored.

It Is Man's Mature To think that all the pebbles in his own pathway are rocks,, and all the rocks in his neighbor's pathway are only pebbles. To think that the woman who dotes on him is a person of discriminating feminine taste, whose other weaknesses are, therefore, pardonable. To think that he always knows when he's had enough to diink, while Tanks never does. To think that when he wins a jack­ pot it is a matter of skill, and when he losee "the luck's against him." To think he can iool all women all the time. To think that his wife and children ought to go to church, bat that he needs rest on Sundays. To think that he will "do a great many things when he gets time." To think that his eide in politics ia ' the only side there is. This applies particularly when his side is the inside. - -Philadelphia Times.

The next place of honor had been as­ signed to the veterans from Illinois, and as Post No. 1, of Rockford, with its big banner, came into view a salvo of cheers went from block to blonk. Department Commander Horace S. Clark, with Ad­ jutant General P. L. McKinnie and James J. Healy, as-chief of staff, led the way on horseback. Picturesque was the appearance presented by George H. Thomas Post, of Chicago, each man of which carried a tri-colored umbrella. They wal!:ed twelve abreast, from curb to curb, the umbrellas completely ob­ scuring the identity of those that carried them from the people that looked down from above. Ex-Sheriff Matson marched solitary and alone in front of Ulysses S. Grant Post, and those that know him pointed him out to open- mouthed spectators as the man who swung the anarchists into eternity. Still another featuro of the Illinois Division was Phil Sheridan Post, while America Post, 706, in black relief uni­ form, presented an appearance that was rewarded by liberal aoplause. That veteran of international fame, Lucius Fairchild, wearing lightly his sixty years and with his empty sleeve,, marched in tho front rank of the Wis­ consin division. Vice Commander Weis­ sert walked alongside tho General. The spectators did not need to be told that the boys were from the Badger State, for Wolcott Post, which led the line, carried baldheaded old Abe, its mascot in the sixties, high in triumph, while alongside of tho stuifed remains of the famous eagle was a big badger that once held high carnival in the woods around Green Bay. A young girl, typifying the Indian, with a cos MI me of stars and stripes and carrying a liberty capon a polo, led Robert Chi \ as Post. The Wisconsin contingent was largo and made a creditable showing, as did Ihe third section, composed of comrades from the Keystone State. Preceding this department were two miniature gun carriages drawn by white ponies and driven by two little boys. The Phadel- phia and Pittsburg posts turned out in larxe numbers and the sight of the tat­ tered battle-f agi that tiiey carried fre­ quently drovo the spectators into a frenzy of enthusiasm. The Allegheny School Band, composed largely of little fellows who had but recently got into knickerbockers, was another feature Of tho division that came in for general recognition. In tho fourth division tho boys from Ohio turned out over ten thousand strong, in many of the posts every man carried a flag. About every post from Hamilton County was represented, and tho famous Old Guard of Dayton, the Memorial I'o<t of Cleveland, and Logan Post of the same city rr arched in iorce.

No mani with a spark of patriotism In his breastj can see one of these parades without, enthusing and howling himself hoarse.\ The sight of tho f'ag and its defenders is enough to arouse the American breast., Detroit never saw such -a sight before,; and never will again. ^yBii|oro tho cityi is selected as the location of another; encampment thousands of the Grandi Army will h»ve passed alway.
