The eitizens of Qalena celebrated the aanirsnary of the birth o! their illus triuos citizen. General Ulysses S. Grapt, April 37th. Lather Lafiin Mills delivered the address upon that occasion. Hon. H. W. Blair reminded the house that when the Mexican pension bill was nnder consideration the southern repre­ sentatives and senators demanded it should be made a service pension bill, pure and simple, and this was done. He might have added that one of the first men to take advantage of its provisions was Gen. "Cerro Gordo" Williams, one of the^weathieet men in Kentucky and then a senator from that state. Apropos of Gov. McKinley'a tion that the statute of ex-President Hay«s should be added to "Ohio's Jew­ els." the statue for the state house yard, a Cincinnati paper says: "If additions are to be made to the groups of statues known as "Ohio's Jewels," why omit Gen. McPherson? Ohio furnished to the Union armies no more gallant and brill­ iant soldier than Gen. McPherson, who fell in front of Atlanta.

The colored people were always hailed as friends, and in nearly every instance when their services were required were used as guides and pilots. Their loyalty was never doubted. A great number of. these slaves were sent to Washington, and being without homes--huddled in crowds in shanties and barracks--they soon became a pray to disease, and died by the hundred of small pox and black measles. The gov­ ernment procured burial for over 2,000 of these people in Harmony cemetery, and recently as their graves were un­ marked the Columbian Harmony society erected ^beautiful granite sarcophagus mJJwiilitsry, faaHaaly iaeudhoiL Representative Springer asked a ques­ tion, to which he knew the answer quite as well as any man in the house. He wanted to know why Illinois, having more population than Ohio, had but 68,000 pensioners receiving f 11,019,000 while Ohio had 102,961 pensioners re­ ceiving 117,326,000. In Indiana, 900,- 000 were distributed to the congressional district; in Ohio, f855,000; while in Ill­ inois but f500,000 were distributed to the district. The reason is that a large portion of the population of Illinois are foreigners who have gone to Chicago since the war. During the war the pop­ ulation of Illinois was much smaller than that of Ohio, and while she did her whole duty, she was credited with only 259,147 enlistments, while Ohio had 319,659 or 00,512 more. Then, too, a much larger proportion of Illinois than Ohio soldiers went further west after their discharge.--National Tribune. The following extract ia from a Nation­ al Headquarters bulletin issued by Com­ mander-in-Chief Adam: "Wednesday, May 80 next, will be observed as Memor­ ial Day. Twenty-six years ago John A. Logan, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, in General Orders No. 11, inaugurated Memorial Day. In that general order we are directed that (if other eyes grow dull and other hands slack, and other heartscold in the solemn trust, we shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth remains in us.' His wishes and instructions have been faith­ fully obeyed, and as his successor, Com­ mander-in-chief Adams calls upon all comrades to again discharge this solemn duty. Each year our lines grow shorter here, while they lengthen on the other side. We have more graves to decorate and fewer comrades to discharge the duty. Realizing this, let us invite all the people, especially the Woman's Relief Corps, Sons of Veterans and children of the public schools to unite with us in the service. In no better way can we teach lessons of patriotism and prepare those who are to take our places for the high and rssponsible duties of American cit­ izens." Tore Down a Rebel Flag Major Isaac B. Brown, deputy secre­ tary of internal affairs at Harrisbargh, Pa., is the man who tore down the rebel flag that hung over the Andrews locomo­ tive in the Transportation bnilding of the World's Fair. He has the flag in his possession and is prepared for any conse­ quences that may follow. This is what he says about his action. "I belong to the post of the Grand Ar­ my of the Republic at Corry, Pa., that v?as named after J. J. Andrews, the lead­ er of the band of twenty-one Union sol­ diers who went through the Confederate lines in 1862, and at Big Shanty Station captured the locomotive known as 'The General.' "The old locomotive belongs to the state of Georgia, and was on exhibition at the World's Fair. When through the Transportation building with my little boy, I happened to ran across the locomotive, and as the com­ rades of my post, had always taken a great interest in everything that pertain­ ed to the Andrews raid, 1 gave the loco­ motive a careful examination. •'I had not been there long before I dis­ covered the Confederate flag in question, which was attached to a staff securely fastened in the steam-escape of the loco­ motive. The staff, I should say, was six or eight feet long, and being placed, so high on the locomotive it gave tins flag a most prominent position. "I made inquiry to ascertain why in the loyal state of Illinois it was permit­ ted, but no one seemed to be able to ex­ plain. I did not know who placed it there, for what purpose it was dons, or by what authority. I did not belie™ that it was right for it to be there. The more I thought of it the stronger became my conviction that it was my duty to tear it dowiju "That afternooa l returned to the Fair. "There were a few persons looking at the.locomotive, but I climbed up and de­ liberately broke the staff and took the flag down. "I have leaned since tliat it is claimed that the flag was simply hoisted as a relic. The story is hard to believe, but even if there is any truth in it we can get along without the exhibition of any such relics. There are enough Union soldiers with empty sleeves, wooden legs and crutches, to answer any reasonable de- |iBSnd for relics. I believe the flag was placed* in position in defiance of the pa­ triotic sentiment that ought to find a place in the heart of every loyal citisen and such belief impelled me to take it down, which I did on Friday afternoon, October 6th, 1893, at five minutes of six o'clock." The flag torn down by Major Brown is of three red and white stripes, with a blue field containing eight stars. Major Brown served until the doss of the war in Co. C. 211th Pa. He repre­ sented Erie county in the Legislature three terms, from 1881 to 1886, and in 1883 was, with Jerome B.Niles, of Tioga, one of the leaders of the Republican side of the house. In 1887 he was made de­ puty secretary of international affairs under Secretary btewart, which position he now holds. He is known as a bold, courageous man, not afraid to do what he thinks is right at any and all times. He is also president of the Survivors' AsecHaaljioB <*f Hartranft's Division, Ninth Corps, Army of the Potomac. Flthy, Pointed and Pertinmt. Mr. Cleveland has written a letter in which he whacks Hill over the head and talks about how strong the Democratic party is when it is devoted to principles instead of spoils. When was that, pray? If the Democratic party was ever really devoted to a principle the people did not find it out. The on-to-WaBhington armies have been fed and helped along on their jour­ ney by those anxious to get rid of them as soon as possible, but it is not appar­ ent who is to feed them at Washington. Senator Morgan is not ashamed of his defense of Minister Stevens, the man who raised our flag over Hawaii, as these re­ marks to a meeting in Alabama show: ',Fellow citizens, you would have been ashamed of me if I had been led off by a partisan howl, gotten up by unfair men, and laid aside justice and followed a po­ litical crowd either to laud a man or to destroy him." That's rather rough on Cleveland and Gresham, who got up the "partisan howl," The Democratic party is primarily re­ sponsible for the Coxey army idiocy, be­ cause of it having destroyed the employ­ ment of thousands of men; but if the misguided and ill-advised men who are on their way to Washington get iuto ser­ ious trouble the sensational portion of the press will be directly responsible for it. Ambassador Bayard has more than once during his political life attempted the feat of riding two horses going in opposite directions at one and the same time; hence no one was surprised at his attempt in a single speech to tell his ad­ miration for the English and the Irish. Ho# many of the men who make the most bitter attacks upon'capitalists at every opportunity would decline becom­ ing capitalists themselves, if they could do so without hard work, self-denial and frugality? At last the secret is ont. Coxey is am­ bitious of J becoming one of Gen. Lew Wallace's twenty-flve American "im­ mortals." The latest'Alabama lynchings broke the record. Three victims in forty-flve minutes was quick work. The crime was barn-burning, and, needless to say, the lynchees were negroes. The best way for the Washington au­ thorities to^deal with the Coxeyites is simply to let them alone, as long as they obey the laws. Coxey'B claim to represent the people is a delicious bit of spring-time "gall." The crop of demagogues was not even scotched by the late frosts. The market is now glutted with them and still they come.
