THURSDAY, JUNE!, 1893. ~ It begins to look as of Republicanism was offensive partisanship in Mr. Maxwell's eyes. —Cincinnati Tribune. Giving way to fits of anger and living in a continual worry about something are two excellent ways to undermine one's health. The man who makes the almighty dollar the criterion of his action has very little genuine respect for the Author of the universe. “You can fool all the people part of the time, and part of the people all the time; but you can’t fool all the people all the time.’’ Indiana it is said will receive no more offices from the present administration. Surely Indiana’s addition to the Democratic column last fall is not very highly appreciated in Washington. What does Hope expect to do in the way of a Fourth of July celebration? This is Columbian year and it, is none too soop to begin preparations for a celebration that will be appropriate to this year. The administration is beginning to realize that the raised tariff will not bring in sufficient revenue to meet the expenses of the govermenj and already there is a lookingout for some other method of raising money, —an income tax meeting with most favor. The season tor lawn tennis is on. There is no more healthful and exhilirating sport. The exercise is not violent and yet sufficient to give all necessary exercise to the strongest muscles. Why not have a club in Hope? A court could be made and the necessary racquets, net, balls, etc., secured at a small outlay. Despite the failures of a few banks our finances are not in so serious a condition. These have been mostly wild cat banks with lit,tie or no financial backing. Their failure now may prove a profitable lessons to' those legislators who would have the government again permit these banks to issue wud-cat money.' The New York law which makes it a misdemeanor for a newspaper publisher to claim a larger circulation I than ho has, is a good one. The | advertiser has a right to know the truth about the circulation of the paper he selects as a medium. For a publisher to claim a larger circulation than it actually has, in order to secure advertisements is nothing else than to secure money under false pretenses. Memorial day and Decoration day were each fittingly observed here. As we get farmer away from the I war we hear less a;..’, less tali: of the I ‘‘bloody shirt" c edar, and more of the great principles that were set-1 tied by tin* terrible conflict. We are j a nation and not a confederacy of na-

tions. No power cun ever turn us back to the day when State sovereignty was firmly held by a large section of the country. That section now sees its error and rejoices that the result is what it is. There are a few old croakers who sigh for 1 ‘the fleshpots of Egypt,” but they belong to that strange class to whom no change, however beneficial, is pleasing. The new generation is coining on and it realizes: that the condition of the new SoutH is infinitely better than that of the old South. The fact that the South is recognizing its newer freedom only adds to the glory of those noble and patriotic men, who amid the thunders of cannon and the flying of bullets, defended the flag of our Union and the principles for which it stands. Judicial lightning is just now making terrible havoc with some of the social difficulties. It is not long since a decision was rendered against the boycott, And now comes one, Judge Patterson, of New York, and decides that a trust has no right to ruin the business of a firm refusing to enter the combine. If this principle prevails it will be illegal for a trust to cut rates in a rivals territory merely to force the rival to the wall, or to compel if to come into the trust on the trust's own terms. Surely trusts are falling on evil days. Nicaragua is the last candidate asking for a protectorate by the United States. With Hawaii, China and Nicaragua' the Secretary of State is likely to have his hands full for same time. ItIE.1EORI.Ui WAV. Last Sunday morning was bright and clear and the Methodist church was crowded to standing room with the audience to hear ahe sermon by Rev. J. D. Current. There were no services at the other churches and the members of all denominations attended, the Moravian school and the G. A. R. post attending as organizations. The sermon was preached from the text, Esther 0: 28. “And that these days should be kept and remembered throughout every generation, every family, every province and every city.” The speaker then treated of the causes of the civil war. South Carolina took the lead, when back in 1832 under the influence of John C. Calhoun she passed her nullification act. But President Jackson, sturdy old man that he was, took the monster by the throat and slew it at its birth. The extension of slavery was also a prime factor in bringing about the war. Time after time the contest was renewed in Congress'and each time became more bitter, until finally in 18(i0 the election of Lincoln was deemed sufficient cause for rebellion. South Carolina again led in secession, passing her ordinance Dec. 20, 1860. Soon the Confederacy was organized and preparations were made for open war; then came the inauguration of Lincoln and soon after the firing on Fort Sumter. This unified the North and every loyal heart beat with a patriotism that was ready to do and die for the Union. Lincoln's call for volunteers was answered by patriotic sons from east to west. During the war 2,690,401 men enlisted in the Union armies; of this number 194,363 were Hoosiers. Many of these fell before rebel bullets but there were some things they could not kill; they conid not kill the flag, the Union, nor can they destroy the grateful memory in which wo hold our soldiers both living and dead. The sermon was listened to with the utmost attention and all speak of it in the highest terms. Rev. Current delivered the sermon at 3 o’clock at Hartsville to a largo and appreciative audience. With the natives of Burmah it is a belief that people born on a Monday are zealous; on Tuesday, hottest; Wednesday, quicktempered, bub soon calm again; Thursday, mild; Friday, talkative; Saturday hot-tem-pered and quarrelsome, while Sunday children will beparsimonious.— Indianapolis News.

DFCOR AXIOM DAY. In Haw Creek cemetery there are buried 6 soldiers, four from the late war, one from the war of 1812 and one from the Mexican and Indian wars. At the Simmons’ cemetery are 3 graves and at St. Louis 7. The Moravian cemetery contains 2!( soldiers’ graves. Last Tuesday morning at 8 o’clock the G. A. R. post left its hall and to the first thrcS cemeteries above named to decorate their comrades’ grave'. In the afternoon the exercises in town were held in the M. E. church. Long before the hour the streets of the town were filled with people moving toward the church and cemetery to await the later exercisee there. The post preceded by the Hope band went to the church at 2 o’clock. There after some excellent music the address was delivered. No better principle upon which to found governments has been discovered than that given in the Declaration of Independence, that all men are created free and with equal rights before the law. Yet for nearly a hundred years we nourished in the body politic the viper of slavery which led finally to the acts of soces sion. Then it was that loyal men came to the rescue, ready for any duty that the life of the nation might demand. It is our duty to recall the memory of these men and their noble deeds. Our American genius calls the roll of ’(11 and writes the names in Hues that live forever. We recall their deeds of valor to emblazon their names on the hearts of a new generation and learn from their lives and noble death the lesson of devotion to that flag they followed to immortal fame. The conclusion of the war marks the sublimest epoch in the progress of the human race. Survivors on both sides want no more carnage. By their blood they placed a keystone in the arch of liberty and progress which no human power can displace. There are questions of a serious import yet to be solved, but ballots, not bullets, we hope, in the future, will lead to the solution. In the highest, best and fairest sense, there is a common purpose in this country to make the country good and great. Intelligence, candor and truthfulness are essential to a settlement of the difficulties. Reasonable toleration is necessary. All these troubles that vex our land will be adjusted through the Christian principles tuat are growing in the land. Selfishness is the crucial point of danger in every human life. But the graves we decorate today are evidences of the sublimest sacrifice for the good of the whole people. Every green mound beneath which a soldier rests is a reproach to selfish greed and an inspiration to patriotic generosity. Submission to law is a part of our government. The minority must yield its preferences to the will of the majority. Let us come to the issues of today. Be ready to meet tomorrow. The past is filled with mighty deeds; the future is unexplored; the present only is our own. Unless the ideas for which our brave boys died were right, they died in vain, women were made widows and children orphans to no purpose. Now the sun rises on no master and sets on no slave, and God knows we were right. After the services at the church the rain interfered for a short time. But it soo’n ceased and with flowers in their hands the post and the Sunday-school led by the baud marched to the cemetery. There they- gathered at the graves of their comrades and after brief services, a song was sung by the quartette, the graves were decorated and boys parted to await another anniversary of Decoration Day.
