This tremendoiiH sum
would in itself, be enough
to run a reasonable gov
ernment. One would
not complain if it were
an honest debt, but a
largo proportion is not
dobt, because it was nev
er earned by any act of
patriotism or heroic ser
vice. The government
hold up and despoiled of
no mean portion of this,
and it scorns helpless to
defend itself. Onn can
not help being curious to
know how ninny more
years it will take to ex.
haust the generation
which foels itself injured
by the war. It is safo to
say that never did a gen
eration display such re
markable longevity.

The veterans of tho civil war havo once more
passj.il in grand review. This timn not before
presnleiit and commanders, but before reviewing
(jllieeis who appreciate nioii. und more us the
days go by the heorie sacrifices that wer. made
to preserve tho union. Jt is leullv wonderful
ami a source of gratification how well the veter
ans stand their burdens of ud.led veins. The
average age of the M.l.liersof the rebellion in 57
years, but this burden of time did not prevent
li,(HM of them from marching several miles with
steps that were lightened bv the sounds of the
life and drum uud the great brass bund.
Do tho people appreciate the services render
ed by the men who wore the blue? Let the dem
onstrations at St. Paul make reply. Little girls
strewed (lowers at their f., t then", just as little
girls did when the tattered and sunburned veto
runs marched up P
eiiiisylrniiia avenue in Wash
ington more than thirty years ugo. Young wo
men threw at their tune-burdened feet the
choicest garlands, just us young women did
more than thirty years ago, when the war
bronze.l veterans of Grant and Sherman and
Sheridan passed in grand review along Pennsyl
vania avenue, while joyous thousands snug
songs of glad acclaim at victory won and na
tional honor preserved. A living (lag with
sripes of red and white uud Hashing stars made
up of 2,000 little children, waved its living folds
and Bang songs ns tho old soldieis marchod by
with tear-wet eyos.
Tho children sang and wept ns grizzled vete
rans marched and wept, and all the people stood
with uncovered heads and shouted and sang in
honor of tho Grand Army of the Republic, and
tears of gratitudo mingled with tears drawn
from time-dimmed eyes, and so the remnants of
the grandest army that over fought in free
dom's cause marched once ngaiu iu grand re
view before the people whoso liberties that
Grand Army had preserved.
Ed. M. Hummel.
Wo herewith publish tho portrait
of Ed. M. Hummel, the candidate
for Stp.te Senator from this district.
Mr. Hummel was born and raised in
Mouroo township, this county. For
a number of yeurs he has been en
gaged in the lumber business having
purchased and controlled tho Main
Saw Mill at Selinsgrove. Ho comes
from a stalwart family whoso an
cestry has been distinguished and
worthy of commemoration.

Mr. Hummel goes before the peo
ple us tho lirst cuudidule that Sny
der county has ever had with any
hope of winning tho Stato Senutor
ship. lie stands for sound money,
protection and a careful vigilance of
tho farmers. He is opposed to oleo
and favors tho American cow. John
A. Gundy his opponent, stands for
oloomurgurino uud even wants to
make eggs bv n chemical process.
Our dinners will thus understuud
how much it is to their interest to
stand by Hummel. Tho Senatorial
district should give him 21)00 majority.

This is tho title of a book on tho
Money Question containing; sixty

work issued thus fur on that all-important
issue now before the Ameri

try old enough to vote should not
fail to leu J this book before casting
his mighty ballot iu next November.
Every employer of men should pro
cure at onco a number of the books
nnd hand t hem to his workmen. It
is not written in an offensive way,
nor can it offend the most sensitive
Democrat. It is compiled in such a
manner and with such u strict re
gard for truth that it cannot, fail
to convince. This book should be
iu large quunties en the tables in
every campaign club throughout the
country, and Campaign Committees
throughout everv part of I he luud
should possess themselves of u suf
ficient number of these hooks to be
distributed to every voter in their
