DEMOCRATIC VETERANS. n*8huuUM Way la WW* Mwr Aw Ik will do the machine Republicans aogood to deceive tkeaidTM about Ibis organisation of Democratic soldiers. It U not to be whistled down the wmd. There will he quite enough •fit to make the machine uncomfortable. and to make the Gu A. B. wish it tad kept out of politics. There is in it not the slightest coldness or animosity to the G. A. EL. except as it forsakes its true path and. purpose and I undertakes to boom one party and abuse another. The Democrats purpose to remain in the ont**-* ®ut propose to also orgai“'»* outside of it. , A valued *»ehange is therefore not quit* *a*Tect in saying: A lain* number ef tie G A. R. Post of Dm Moines bare Needed because of the oflensive- * Men of the Tunis element llisharJ fur Democrat* to remain m such (nmU an that of Des Msutaa and maintain their ueif-respecl. But why should not Democratic soldiers organise. The Republican party has never yet failed to make merchandise of the patriotism, the blood, the lives of the Democratic soldiers. It has been so not only ever since the wsr, but ever since the Democratic soldier enlijited. He knew it would be so when be enlisted, lie left his home, his family, his loved ones to go out and offer up his life in a cause whose credit he knew would be claimed by the mercenary men who abused him for his politics. The patriotism of the soldier who was on the popular side in politics does not compare with this.

And even to this day the patriotism of the Democratic soldier is impugned. He has been denied any participation in the official honors and emoluments of the country. He foresaw all this, and patiently he has endured it. But the time for endurance is past. Forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. Considering the circumstances nnder which he enlisted, and the patience with which, for his country's sake, he has borne insult and injury from the time the unseasoned ilesh of his tender youth yielded to the bullet until his hair b gray and his joiuts stiffened with age. there is not on the page of history a more shining example of patriotism than this same Democratic soldier. Why shouldn't he organize? He asks no undue pension. He is not seeking office. He seeks only the peace and happiness of the whole country. He did not offer his life that Presidents might lie insulted, the country rent with civil strife, and the hearts of his children filled with undying hatred against n portion of their countrymen. He fbught for peace nnd union. He think* that four years of fighting and twenty-two years more of waiting are enough; or ought to be enough, to gain those blessed ends. It he not right? It is the Democratic soldier, of all human beings, who may be proud to stand np and bo counted. He is not source. As one of our exchanges has recently observed. Missouri sent 17.860 more wen into the Union army than Iowa did. M ssouri cast only 17.058 votes for Lincoln, but sent 86,630 men Into the Union army, while Iowa east 70,409 votes for Lincoln aud only furnished 68,680 meu to the Union army. Conceding that two-lhirds of the Iowa soldiers were Republicans, and that two-thirds of those who voted for Lincoln in Missouri eo listed- in the Union army, we have a total of about 67.000 Republican soldiers from' these States, while the same States furnished 9*.OX) Democratic soldiem to the Union army! These figures are rather interesting. A good many more such could be furnished:—/)es Moidee (In.) Leader. THEY ALU WANT IT.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES. ^ bMrutmt u< r*tSw. One significant feature of the recast discussion concerning the rebel flag matter was the total absence of any ill feeling on the part ol the South. The time was when the Republican bosses could produce political capital very readily simply by irritating a few Southern editors, and then inflame the Northern heart bgrrepeating their iUyconsidered utterances. This time has passed, and one reason why the South will not be drawn into sectional controversies with Republican agitators is that it is too busy building np new industries and increasing the general business of that section of the country. A very recent review of the industrial growth of the South demonstrates that the people have been earnestly at work within the last two decades, and that tiie fruits of this earnest work have been most marked during the last six months of the present year. The Manufacturer*' Record, published in Baltimore, gives the following encouraging figures* '-/Trrf Hr awn'll ofMK7. MSS. X umber. AmUrn

Texas is also becoming largely interesting in cotton manufacturing.

GARFIELD'S MEMORY. taitMitatoarikt Utmost Ml rmiUMlI rtnt DtwraUsa Day Spoor a. Lit a* toll JOU an anecdote of Garfield's power of memory, said ex-Postmaetor-General Junes to • l>at Moines (Is.) Rtrjin'rr correspondent. He related it to no himself. It Mat that when Deration Dap wss first started bp the voluntary action of the people of Washington City, and before it became a legal cole* brsitioo, Garfield was chosen to deliver the oration otror the dead at Arlington. It was to him an important occasion, for Botoral Grant was to bo there, and that gal: xj of people . who would rnle events for tome time to come. Garfield at as a gool deal pressed by work in Congress, end he finsllp had to sit up most of the night to write hit speech oat. He got U done somewhere about four o’clock la the morning, and, going to hit wife’s chamber, he woke her np and read her the manuscript. It was his habit t > communicate to her ins performances and get her criticism. After he bad read it be went to bed end sept. The nest morning ho arent over to Arlington with ths procession, and bad the m innscript in his pocket. When he arose to speak he pat it Sown before him end said to himself: "I will watch the epos of Grant and those other people and see bow long they are interested before 1 take my manuscript up ’ So ho commenced and delivered his whole address without looktag at the paper at alL There were shorthand writers present, and then they wrote their note, out that afternoon theea were sent to Garfield to bo revised. He wrs astonished himself to find that be bad delivered almost literally atraa-eript sf the manuscripts be bad composed, and in the few Instances where he bad departad from that mods he had strengths ned the expression. A good story is told of n Kingston man who haa an impediment in hts speech. One day a stranger''irrlved la town who professed to bo able to core n person sfSided with stuttering. Several wags, knowing how sensitive the Kingston man was on the subject, to play a Joke sent the stranger to the man’s office, telling him that the man stuttered and wanted t> get cured. The stranger entered the office and, after nodding to the man. said: vl was seat here by several of year friends to ears yon of stuttering. I make a specialty of the business.*’ ‘ Oeg-geg-' get oat of my my of-tf-offlee. Yo-yoa lie, I don’t slut-stut-stutter."
