Memorial Day.
Memorial Day in the North and
South full different dates, but their
object is the same, even though in
one section it is the men who wore
the hi lie that are specially remem
bered and in the other the men who
wore the gray.
It is a holy day, a day of peculiar
pathos and reininiscense. Every
thing combines to make it so. It
is seen in the last thinning ranks
of the men w ho fought so valiantly
nearly lifty years ago, and in the
rapidly increasing numbers of green
mounds in the cemeteries of the
North and South. It is also seen
in the memorial character of the
day, in the utterances of speakers
who extol the heroisim and virtues
of both the dead and the living,
and in the reverent and religious
character of the exercises.
It, used to be said with a sneer
that republics arc ungrateful, and
that in time the deeds of men who
served tliein would be forgotten.
As one considers how this country
remembers in practical and beauti
ful ways the heroic services of men
who have shown their patriotism
on fields of battle they see the
falsity of such a charge. The
numerous monuments, the care
bestowed upon the cemeteries, the
generous pensions paid the veterans
who survive and the widows of
those who have died, and the an
nual observance of Memorial Day
are the most convincing proofs
that this republic is not ungrateful.
In all this the United States re
members its dead and living heroes,
as no other nation has ever done.
On this day we honor the memory
of those who died for their country.
Perhaps there are some who wish
they had lived in those stirring days
of the past, that they too might
have sealed their devotions to their
country by their death. But while
in these peaceful days there is for
tunately no demand for one's death
in order to show his loyalty there
is a constant demand for one's life.
So, then let each prove his unselfish
patriotism by living us a trues
American, in faithfully discharging
his duties as a citizen, and by ad
vancing in every right way the well
being of his country.
The National Banks, The Causes
Which Led to Their Establish
ment.
For more than three quarters of
a century the people of the United
States had suffered more or less
continually, and terribly at times,
from the evils of a defective bank
ing system. There had been con
siderable improvement in the laws
controlling the banks in some of
the states, notably in the state of
New York; but there were some
1(500 banks located in all parts of
the country issuing circulating
notes as money, under the tax laws
of .'54 different states. The notes
of nearly all of them were always
at a discount of from one to fifteen
per cent, or even more, and the
discount was constantly varying.
When the country merchants went
to the cities to buy goods, he must
first goto a broker and pay a heavy
discount to get his money exchang
ed for notes of the city banks,
which were the only currency the
city merchants would receive.
The notes of so many different
banks, all differing in style, and
appearance; many of them printed
on poor paper, and nigged, anil
from plates so coarsely engraved
that they were easily imitated and
altered, made the handling of
money, which should be an agree
able operation, a difficult and
troublesome task. The notes of
one sixth of all the banks had been
counterfeited. There were 3,54(5
kinds of imitations, and large
amounts of spurious notes atloat,
and there were 3,039 alterations of
genuine notes being raised to higher
denominations.
There were weighty reasons why
the states system should be abolish
ed, but so strongly were the exist
ing institutions entrenched behind
capital, and the inllueuce it always
commands, it is doubtful whether
there even would have been a better
system established by congress for
the whole nation had it not been
for the great pressure for money to
carry on the war to preserve the
Union. Congress had authorized
the issue of $300,000,000 of legal
tender notes, and further issues
would be hazardous, as it might
endanger the whole amount in cir
culation of becoming as worthless
as the old Continental notes.
Money is said to be "the sinews of
war," and something had to be
done to make a brisk demand for
government bonds, or the war
would lie a failure for the lack of
means for its successful prosecu
tion.
Castki.a b.
(To be continued.)
As with the poor so with the
tramps we have them with us con
stantly. And what to do with
them when they come to the back
door for food and money is a prob
lem that almost every housewife
has to meet many times in the
course of a year. Usually the prob
lem is met by giving the tramp
something to eat, and probably
money, which generally finds its
way into the nearest saloon. That
it is an unsatisfactory plan every
one admits, for it encourages idle
ness and aggravates the evil. But
in Germany they do things better.
The municipalities gather in the
tramps aud make them work. If a
man reveals an unshaven and un
washed appearance with other evi
dences of being a "Weary AVillie"
he is gathered in and, willy-nilly,
he has to work. The plan seems
to be a success for the army of
tramps is steadily decreasing. The
municipalities in this country
might well follow the German
method.
J. P. Bald, the new barber and
proprietor of the pool room, lunch
house, and confectionery store, has
placed a large artistic sign on the
front of his building and hungry
strangers in Laporte need have no
further trouble in finding a place
to satisfy their appetites between
meals.
The New Baby.
Well, Jlmmle," said the visitor, "I
understand you have a new baby
here."
"Yes," said Jimmle. "He got herel
last Tuesday night."
"Whom does he look like, your
father or your mother?" asked the
visitor.
"We don't know yet," said Jimmle.
"He seems kind of undecided yet."
"They tell me he has your father's
nose," said the visitor.
"Yes," said Jimmle. "He has pa'B
nose, and ma's mouth, and Aunt
Sarah's ears, and between you and me
I'm for givin' him grandpa's teeth. He
ain't got any of his own, and grand
pa's got two sets. What I'm afraid
of is that if they don't give 'em to
him he'll get mine, and I need 'em ta
my business."
No Avoiding It.
If a man gets into the habit of
hunting trouble he's sure to find it,
and if he's so lazy that he always
tries to avoid It, it will find him.—
