THE NATION'S DEAD I
To-day throughout the ropnblio
QTatefnl nation unites in paying horn
ago to the memory of her doparto <
heroes. In the little village church
yard no less than in the silent citie
of the dead whcro Bleep the bravo on
the fields they fought to win , loving
hands will strew with fragrant flowers
the last resting places of these who
garo up thiir liven ( hot the nation
might live. No ono of our man ;
national anniversaries appeals so
strongly to memory or touches mor
tenderly the emotions of every tru
American than that of Decoration
dny. Remembrance will call to mint
the stirring dayn when the cry to
arms rang in every home , and th
bravo volunteers responded to thci
country summons with comprcssot
lips and tearful eyes. Memory wil
bring back in old its vividness th
dreary days of n bitter conflict when
victory was a defeat to hundreds o
liomer , and every defeat wao an ngo
nizing wrench to thousands o
liearta. The empty place at the
fireside , -Mho fevered brain am
the hospital , the lost sad ser
vices in the little church yard , the
first sharp panga of grief tomponk
only by the kindly sympathy of honrta
in wllioh the wounds of affliction were
still fudhcalod all those , will bo ro-
calleod as the remnants of mighty ar-
raioB pass in procession through the
streets to render their annual tribute
to the memory of thoirdcad comrades.
Time , that wondrous physician , has
lioalod the wounds of bleeding hearts
and tempered the grief of stricken
louseholdo. , But time itself cannot
oroso from.tho memory , of a * gratiful
people remembrance of' her heroes'
deeds , or render it forgetful of their
self-denying valor. Birth , rank and
> osltion to-day avail nothing. Over
ho grave of the humblest private will
> loom as fragrant.flowors as cQver the
ast resting place 6f' the bravest corps
ommandor. A noble dcatlt has oloi
vated all to the high piano of a
nation's homage. Each , in the sphere
where ho was called upon to act , did
lis duty. Each gave up that which is
carcnt to man , hio life , and each , ir-
espcctiv.0 of his former surroundings ,
trill receive tlio tribute of a country's
dmiration and tender affection. ; ,
Bat this annual celebration would
ese much of its ntgnilicanco if it looked
nly to the pant and contained no
csson for the present. It awakens
motions which , if aroused to action ,
ro guarantees of the perpetuation of
10 repnblio and the homage and do-
otion of its cltizans. The garlands
f flowers which grateful hearts have
wined around the last resting places
f the nation's heroes , are more than
unoral wreaths , They symbolize the
> oronnial frcshneia and vitality of the
irinciplesfcr which our soldiers fought ,
and tjpify ty their beauty and fra-
jranco the value or a national integ
rity , purchased at 10 great a price.
? o , not for the dead alone in this an
niversary. Poor indeed would bo the
eoson taught by these noble horoop ,
f remombrauco did not awaken in the
icarts of their successors some- spark of
hat patriotism and self-sacrifice which
hey themselves exhibited. Empty
would bo the honors which loving
lands straw in the budding spring
imo on their graves , if the act waa
not also accomoanicd by a grateful
acknowledgment of the inestimable
valna of the cause for which they laid
down their lives.
Beautiful and touching is this oim-
plo ceremony by which a people keeps
jrocn the memory of her doparfoc
iioroos. The wreaths may fade , the
flowers may wither , the seasons conio
and go in never ending succession
tiat the memory of the nation's doac
will still survive. Generations yet to
como" will road of their services to the
republic , will recall with omotjou the
traditions of their lives and will point
their children to their noble death as
a shining example of self-sacrificing
devotion to the cause of freedom out
national unity.
THK deadlock in the house , whereby
the democrats seek by obstruction to
prevent the seating of Maokoy , the
legally elected member from South
Carolina , affords another atrlking
proof to what quostionabla methods
.ho democracy resorts in its desperate
effort to gain political supremacy. The
Second South Carolina district has
about ton thousand republican ma-
ority. Three measures were taken
o overcome this majority. The firsl
was the voting of tissue ballots ,
crime not denied by the democrats ol
Jouth Carolina. So aharaoloas was
his , that , in two-thirds of the polling
> laces , ballots exceeded by hundreds
he number of the legal voters of the
> recinct. The second was to break
open sealed ballot bores , substitute
spurious ballota for their genuine
contents , nnd alter the returns. Thus ,
u ono district , a republican vote of
en hundred and thirty-seven against
forty.six lor the democrats , . was
converted , after the box had boon
eoalcd and the returns signed ,
nto a democratic vote of 1,052 ngsinst
nineteen for the republicans. The
third won the wholesale exclusion 'ot
republican districts , on the plea that
terrorism' had bcyn used to prevent
negrpes from voting the democratic
ticket. The districts thrown iut ) had
cast 0,022 republican and 895 demo.
ciatio votes. In this way the returns
were made to read 17,690 democratic
and 12,297 republican votes. To allow
such an election as this to pass , wonli
ba moral treason to the popular system
of government. The principle at stak
is prcciioly that which underlies al
resistance to msurp tion. Were we to
have a congrces thus elected , "th
man on horseback" would bo not fa
ofl.

"Tho morchanta , mannfsetnrora , IUH
growers of the village of Oneida

association for mutual protection. In
their address they take strong prount
in favor of special railroad rates
which , they contend , nr essential to
tholr business lifo and beneficial to a !
classes , consumer as well as producer
A special railroad rate is a rats lower
than that which the general public
must pay. There is no doubt that a
special rate is a good thing for the
man who gets it ; but it ii n bat
tkinc for the man who doesn't
got it , because it puts bin at a
disadvantage in doing business. If il
is a good thing for n few men , hcra
and there in the state , to have low
rates , would it not bo better for all to
have thomt That is , if the railroads
can afford to give seine men low rates ,
can they not give the same to all ? Or ,
rather , since they derive their corpor
ate powers from the whole people ,
bavo they either legal or moral right
to servo ono citizen at ono price and
another at a different price ? Are not
"special rateo" really the abuse which
oxoites nine-tenths of the animosity to
the railroads ? '
Tun managers of tha railroad
monopolies , the Denver it Now Or-
cans and the Denver & Rio Grande ,
wont ou a murderous frolio last Bun-
day. According to our dispatches , a
: ollsion ! took place within a few miles
j'f Pueblo , , between the trackmen of
hoao two rival railroads. Jay Gould's '
oad ; thb Denver & Now Orloann ,

aovornpr Evang , was blocked in track
ayingby tha Bio Gaando road , which

oyors at the crooning. Fortu
nately no lives were lost by
hia murderous pastime , but that docs
not lesson the crime. Wo are not inFormed -
Formed whether the governor of Col-
> rado called out the militia , and wo
loubt whether the high-handed vll-
aina will bo called to account in the
riminal or civil courts of Colorado.
3ut what would the corporation organs
ay if rival morclianta or manufacturers
hould attempt to destroy lifo and

vould they say if workingmen should

Would not they shout murder and
iot ? Wouldn't they clamor for troops

sgcrs to make murderous assaults and

Iir framing the proposition to vote
pavement bonds to be submitted to
our citizens at a special election the
council should , if it can be legally
done , ask for an amount that will on *
able us to complete all the paving v o
desire during the next throe years
Under the amended charter not more
than $100,000 in bonds can bo issued
in any ono year for paving the intersections -
sections of streets and alloy * , but it
strikes us wo might as well vote the
whole $300,000 in bonds for the next
three years at the next special elec
tion and insure a continuance
of the work that is to begin this year.
There can , of/ course , be no more
bonds issued before the 1st of July ,
1883 , than the first $100,000 , but wo
could , if the authority is givoa this
year , issue the second $100,000 after
the 1st of July , 1883 , and the third
$100,000 after July 1st , 1881. There
is no doubt whatever that the propo
sition to issue pavement bonds will
carry this year , but there may bo ac
tive opposition to & second or a third
issue of the bonds in case other pub
lic improvements projected during thn
next two years , should depend on the
further issue of city bonds.

The Kallroad Trap.
Indlaiola Courier
There is a growing feeling among
newspaper mtm of tha state that the
two loading railroads of the state vir
tually dictate to the people who our
state officers shall bo , and that it is
accomplishodtjomothing after this man
ner : They got up a fight boiwcon
each other , neither caring much which
wins , usually effecting a compromise
Before election. In the success of
either faction a railroad man ia choafcn
and that is all they care about. They
lave thus succeeded in keeping down
all candidates in whom they cannot
depend , and virtually dictate their man
'or the office. It remains to bo seen
whether the people will , aa kindly as
usual , fall into this trap this fall.
No Strikes In the South.
Bt. Louts Republican.
It is a fact not without interest that
strikes do not occur in the cotton
mills , coal mines and iron works of
ho southern states. They nro achron-
o disease in the factory towns of the
north , where they frequently last for
months , infhctiugloES upon both strik
ers and employers. At Fall River ,
Lowell and Lawrence , the female ope
ratives take part in these movements
and support them with as much vigor
and determination as the men. It will
30 said that manufacturing is a large
and important buiiness in the North ,
employing many thousand men and
voiuon , while in the south it is a feo-
) lo and incipient interest without the
sharp nnd precise organization it pos
sesses in the north. This is true , and ,
icrhaps , it is a partial explanation of
ho absence of strike troubles in the
outh ; but it is probable that the ox-
stonco of moro kindly relations bo-
.ween employers and employed in the
outh has tomothing to do with it. A
few Englander wilting in the Atlantic
rlonthly on the subject of the rnanu-
acturing in the south , while claiming
ertam advantages for the business in
northern communitien , is forced toad *
mit a contentment among factory opo-
ativca in Georgia and South Carolina
which does not exist in Massachu-
otts. The southern operativea , unle
nd female , are of ; i bettor class ; they
are more kindly treated , have uotttr
morals and are better fed tban those i f
! few England. The immorality and
recklessness to bo found in the Massa
chusetts factory towna do not prevail -
vail amoug tbo operatives ot Geor
gia and South Carolina. "Tho
wooiou and girls are modest and femi
nine in looks and bearing , " ho says ,
and persons uf vicious habits are not
employed in the mills. They live iu
urgor and bolter houeoa ; there is no
crowding in tenement buildings ; each
ttmily has a house to itself , and this
louse frequently haa a vegetable gar
den attached , and in many cases a cow
is a part of the family outfit. In
short , all the surroundings of the
operative's family in the South are
superior to these of his brother ; in
Massachunotts ; ho is not segregated in
a special class , but is a respectable
member of the general community ,
and shares its interests. The con
tentment which this bettor condition
brings prevents the sharp antagonisms
between capital and labor which are
continually breaking out in the more
complex sociuty of the North , and is
ono ot the explanations of thu absence
of strikes in the industrial establish
ments of the Southern States.
Senator Don Cameron.
James Donald Cameron was born in
Middlcton , Pa. , iu 1833. graduated at
Princeton college , and began lifo as
cletk in the Middlpton bank , where
ao rose to the position of cashier. Ee
failed to acquire oil the modern ao-
oompliahmontp , and never performed
the great embezzling or disappearing
act , for instance , but still no was
counted a good cashier. Ho learned
railroading by engaging in'the trans
portation of troops and supplies , and
fu I860 became president of the
Nor t hum Central railroad , now a part
of the Pennsylvania Central. His
firat appearance in politics was a jump
Into the cabinet. President Grant
made him secretary of war , Hay 2 ,
1870 , and ho aervra the remainder of
Grout's term , till March 2 , 1877 ,
When ho loft the office of secretary
his father , the Hon. Simon Cameron ,
who was growing old , resigned his
seat iu the United States senate and
Instructed the legislature of Pennsyl
vania to elect Don. It did so , The
young "Boas" was ro-olected in 1878 ,
md on the dc thof tfach Chandler ,
in 1870 , he succeeded him as chairman
of the national republican committee ,
[ t is now a matter of history that if
the other thmUormers of the committee -
mitteo had suttainod his position at
the Chicago convention , when ho
claimed that by precedent ho had th ?
right of naming the temporary chair
man , Grant would have boon nomi
nated instead of flarfiold.
