I®* There are .indications that Cleve­ land is secretly urging on newspaper Attacks upon the proposal to impose an income tax. He dosn't want such a tax, but he isn't going to say so until certain that it will be killed. , ' , J • WT Nobody objects to the showinff Hp of fraudulent pensioners wherever they may be found; but every patriotic citizen should object most strennously to the slurs against every veteran on the pen­ sion roll that are being printed in the Democratic press. K C . fr-T,'1"' W&r.. h" * *" -kr,::. 10?" Verily, the days of misrepresenta­ tion are upon us. A recent issue of the St. Paul Globe says the Democratic party has shown that it is a progressive party. Will the Globe furnish an un- furnish an unbelieving public with date and place at which the Democratic party made such a showing? Was it when the Globe editor was placed in' the diplomat­ ic service. IVThe people who during the cam­ paign thought that it would not make any difference which party won in the I election can now see the effects of Demo­ cratic ascendency. The trade journals, the journals of finance, all the non-par­ tisan journals that make mention of the present disturbed condition of affairs : ascribe it to "lack of confidence, caused by uncertainty as to the action of the government in relation to tariff and cur­ rency queetions." Had Harrison been re-elected, confidence in the financial • policy of the government would have " been continued and the present disas- trous flurry would not have occurred. f® HF A new use of the electric light is to illuminate the interior of the human body, so that the physicianscanexamine with their eyes and discover where the trouble is if any part of the machinery gets out of order. A boy was experi­ mented on the other day. The electric light bulb was held in his mouth, and his face looked like a jack-lantern. The veins and muscles were all traceable and the nasal and throat passages. It is said that such a bulb may be introduced into the stomach and anatomy of those parts studied. The human machine can then be cleaned up and oiled with ease and kept jmming until it wears out. What •exit"'- : ie claim of Secretary Hoke Smith that he has saved the govement fifteen or twenty million dollars per year by a rui­ ng in a pension case is badly riddled. I cut down the pension to twelve dollars per month allowed a man for partial deaf­ ness. The amount fixed by Commission­ er Black, Mr. Cleveland's first pension commissioner, was fifteen dollars per month. Under the Republican commis­ sioner it was made twelve dollars per month. So Secretary Smith's criticism is really on his Democratic predecessor. The fact is that cases like that on which he has ruled are very few and the amount m*ed per rear will amount to very little even if he should happen to be just and right in the matter. It is a good thing to ha ve repre­ sentatives of monarchial governments < T*t tLie country. They wili learn some­ thing- They will travel day and night tinrongii empires as large as their own to tie great exposition, and then find out that they have only started to cross this groat nation. They will see the exhibits of states far apart, having a different dSmaie sad different products. They will see crowds of people from these vast *• spaces, yet d! Ac&ericans and all Sl&ted by one idea. They will see that «B this vast territory and diversified in toasts are kept in accord by representa- tivegovernment; that a great people able to govern itself. The lesson should be a very impressive one as showing of how little real use kings and queens and ^ Mimto&aam are. • m. A StOMMblp IiM to Africa. The ftret vessel of a new line between tile port of New York and sundry ports flf southern and eastern Africa has sailed from here with a cargo of machinery merchandise and lumber. She is a Brit­ ish built, twin screw steamer of 3,000 tons, well adopted to the trade in which die is engaged. The British company to which she belongs owns other steamers of about the same power and tonnage, •Bd it is intended that a vessel of the line wall leave this port every month of the Jfear for trading purposes. , The Worcester, which has just taken her departure, will first touch Africa at Cape of Good Hope, and after entering pud leaving the port of Cape Town will proceed northward along the east coast to Hilizabeth, East London, Durban, Delagoa bay. Mauritius and such other places as may offer opportunities for < wade. The company which has estab­ lished the line is British, but its ships f J«-e ready to transport such American products, goods and wares as can be marketed in eastern Africa and to bring here upon the return trip such African commodities as may be marketable in this country. . We shall be very well pleased to get >|»i>me better share than we now have of the African trade, which several Euro­ pean countries are desirous of control­ ling, and we shall be pleased to encour­ age the Castle company in its efforts to enlarge the exchanges between the two continents. We could wish that it were jm American company, that its ships were American, and that its profits, if Inere happen to be any, were to be di- ( tided between this country and Africa. --New York Snn, Do not miss seeing the othing at J. J. Miller's. M in Wmi lfteEenry. World's Fau­ lt is i at McH«nry, Hi., fiwomtioai r, May 30th, 1888. ,"-4. . . . The following is the address of Frank Spitzer, of Woodstock, delivered in this village Decoration Day, May 30th, and which we publish by request of many of our readers. No one who did not hear it should fail to read it: During the past quarter of a century so much has been said in regard to our late civil war and the soldiers and sailors that took part in that rebellion,-until it might be claimed the subject had become somewhat threadbare. This might be saidjof many or, in fact, a1! of the impor­ tant themes of National or individual history, yet it is not so. The great events that mark the periods of a Na­ tion's life and progress, in peace and war, are always of interest when discussed from a standpoint of patriotism and education. The interest of mankind iu finer arts and sciences pale before this great question that either gives or with­ holds from every race the noblest heri­ tage of earth. in the dim ages of antiquity, before the earliest page of ancient history, the conflict waged on bloody lines between power and weakness, freedom and slav­ ery, from the burning sands of Egypt to the hills of Rome, and Brittou, the light of liberty only shed its luster at brief intervals, to become extinguished by the mightier powers of darkness. The history of our world dwells chiefly on war*and conquest and an almost ceaseless contention for the balance of power between nations and individuals, and during many periods it was the issue of the times which would conquer, the powers of light to develop a higher civilization or the powers of darkness to hold the masses in bondage and ignor­ ance. The hills, valleys and plains of the Old world are the imperishable monuments of this bloody conflict, from the banks of the Nile to Arbella, from Arbella to Waterloo. In looking back on this scene of strife and carnage, we of the present, born of a civilization that first budded and bloomed beneath calvary, cannot in our higher state touch with a conscious­ ness the instincts and passions of barbar­ ism.. Yet in these conflicts of savages in remotest ages we see many of the aims and ideas that control the leading na­ tions of the earth in declaring rebellions &ud revolutions, viz: The love of liberty or an ambition for spoils and power. The rebellion that has passed into his­ tory as the sectional conflict between the northern and southern portions of our Union was the offspring of the same curse that crimsoned the plains at Mara­ thon, left destruction in its wake at Metz, or found the brave Warren and his comrades among the slain at Bunker Hill. It was for an extension and con­ tinuation of slavery South, for the Union and a preservation of its principles North. In this conflict the powers of darkness were defeated and another chapter added to the history oi liberty that sent its greetings to every race un­ fettered in the old world and the new. W e have assembled to-day in memory of the soldiers that sleep beneath the Aug they followed in warand revered in peace. Their noble sacrifice and patriotism has placed their names on the immortal roll recorded in liberty's temple. Though not with us in the flesh they live in our institutions of civil and religious liberty. Their lives are not extinguished. The hand of treason might slay the body, yet their spirits linger to dwell amid the trophies of victory, for law and liberty. They live in the hearts of a race made free, they live in our constitution, they live in this union Of states intact in its strength, unsurpassed in its granduer. During the present year nearly all the nations will send their representatives to our land to behold the achievements wrought by American civilization, not alone in the arts and sciences, but chiefly to learn of our greater institutions that touch the heart And home of rich and poor alike, as freedom's flag floats over all. These sights will inspire them with a desire for a broader freedom in their land of home and kindred. They will re­ call the deeds of heroes that fought for the first principles of a freedom that has given to us a liberty sublime. They will recall the driving of absolutism "from England by Cromwell, on the field of Worcester, They will tell of that great victory of Gustavus Adoiphus, at Lut- zen, that gave religous liberty to Ger­ many. They will point with pride to the battle of Ivry, where Henry of Navarre, with his small army of God fearing pa­ triots crushed the iron heel of Roman persecution which caused them to ex­ claim, "Oh. was there ever such a knight in friendship or in war as our sovereign lord, King Henry, the soldier of Na­ varre. Another victory was won for civiliza­ tion when Charles Martel defeated the Mahomidan Saracens at Tours and stayed the tide of barbarism from engulf irjg eastern Europe. This lightcontinued to spread while his grandson Charlema- que, after thirty-three years of continued war, in which he never lost a battle until he finally conquered the Saxons. After this great victory the Saxons by degrees became civilized, until their descendents represent many of the grandest achieve­ ments of the leading nations of theearth in science, art and literature. Yet all these conquests pale before those mightier conflicts in this new world, the discovery of which is being so mag­ nificently commemorated at the metrop­ olis of the west, and in this age when the light of liberty is almost universally tri­ umphant, are we forgetting the exper­ iences of the past in the prosperity of the present, in the rustle for gold and strug­ gle for place are we neglecting the higher duties of the citizen in matters impor­ tant to our country's interests? If we would preserve our liberty and maintain her institutions we must encourage every effort that will keep patriotism among the leading virtues of the people and the love of our country and her lane should be early imparted in the hearts of the young of each succeeding generation. These priceless blessings, born from vic­ tory on the bloody field, are not safe in the keeping of strangers to their value. None but Jojal hands should steer the ship of state and none but patriots at heart should dictate the policy of our National life. The traitor's hand should never soil our flag, the voice of treason never heard in legislative halls, The question of the present is not in regard to war and conquest, but as to the main­ taining and strengthening of our institu­ tions amid the blessings of peace. Our country's destiny is soon to be in hands once innocently touching the soldier's cheek as he said farewell to home and loved ones to obey his country's call. Will they prove true and faithful to their trust? They (should. They can learn their duty on every side. The simple in- Btruction of home and the broader edu- cation of our schools has unfolded the story of liberty from Bunker Hill to the i Illchl»ond. Washington's fare­ well address to his army and Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg are among the lessons of patriotit-m that, have left an impress that will guide their efforts and mould their action in the councils of the Nation. The broad principles of government represented in these United States are fast takiDg root in the toil of foreign arch&il institatione, the throng surround the p&riiaimfttat Brus­ sels Mid compel its self a^ifttod mem ben topasp laws conferinrfreater power of franchise on the people. The young and despotic Emperor of Germany in anger dissolves the Reich tag because the representatives of a people burdened with taxation refused to strengthen imperial­ ism by increasing the army. The hand of eternal justice is slowly but surely wrenching the sceptre of power from the hand of the sovereign to deliver it to the people to whom all sovereignty belongs. Thus we see that the soldiers whose deeds we praise to-day, fought not alone for home and native land, but for all man kind and may this aud each succeeding generation do homage to their memory, not alone with the garlands of spring and mournful dirges, but in all the seasons of each returning year may they devote the noblest efforts of their lives to their country's cause, and prove such ceaseless vigils of its welfare that the powers of darkness may never triumph o'er the dust of our lamented heroes. Pun m Trousers and Saw the Sight*. Mis* Emmft Wood, who claims to be the daughter of a wealthy Colorado ranchman, was arrested in company with a young man who said his name was Frank Patton, an^bath were dressed in masculine attire. The story of the couple is that they both reside a short distance from Denver and for the last two years have kept company. When Patton, who is employed on a neighbor­ ing ranch, was sent to South Omaha in charge of a-consignment of cattle, they thought i* an excellent opportunity to give the old folks a surprise party by making the journey an elopement as well. The girl declares that they were married hy a Lutheran clergyman be­ fore they left Denver. They arrived in Omaha Thursday night and devoted the next day to seeing the sights. The girl had often worn her brother's clothes out on the ranch dur­ ing a roundup and helped the men drive up the cattle, and last night she declared her intention of putting on one of her husband's suits and going out to see the town by gaslight. She assumed the trousers, and the pair started down Dedge street and visited one or two swell resorts, after which the woman con­ cluded she ha4 enough, and they started to the hotel, but were arrested. They were released today without being fined. Omaha Cor. Chicago Tribune.
