—Capt. D. R. Waters of the Grand Rapids Leader published in liis paper a reported "interview" in which the Hon. W. G. Thon.pajn of Detroit urged iij)on President Cleveland the appointment of Capt. D. R. Waters, of Grand Rapids, as United States Marshal of the Western District. Mr. Thompson is reported as having said to the President:— "I especially urged the appointment of Capt. D. R. Waters, of Grand Rapids, as United States Marshal of the Western District,! think that appointment would be a representative and a very impor-tant one. We cannot expect to keep tht Greenbackera as our allies, while they are fed on husks and the old line Demo-crats on mush. Thai's all there is to it. I think all that stands between the Pres-ident and the sulmtantial recognition of the Greenback element is Congressman t 'omstock. Ho opposes the appointment of Cant. Waters and strongly favors Maj. Kelsey, of Ionia, an old-time Dem-ocrat, for the position. Frankly. I not see why a Greenbncker should stand in the light of his party in that way."

While we emphatically protest against this wholesale and retail denunciation of Comstock we stand ready to vouch for the accommodating spirit of Mr. Waters in the matter of shouldering pleasant and profitable responsibilities.

—Maud 8. is still Queen of the Turf. Last Thursday she trotted a mile in 2.0HJ, over a heavy trock. The judges said that owing to the rain the night before the track was at least one second slow. Robert Bonner is as proud of his little Maud as ho is of his New York Ledger.

—Blood is running for Governor in Virginia. The Republican nominee is John S. Wise and the Democratic nomi-nee is Fitzhngh Lee. Now the question is, how many Wise men are there in Virginia?

—President Cleveland will take a few weeks vacation, after Gen. Grant's fu-neral. The President will visit the Ad-irondack regions where office seekers are unknown. P. S.—Where will Mess-more go?

—Neville, the bigamist whose last vic-tim was Miss Lillian Whitney of Detroit, died in the Oliio penitentiary at Columbus last Sunday.

—We have had just five months of President Cleveland's administration and civil service reform lies at the point of death.

—On Sunday last the family of Gen. Grant took their last look at the face of the departed soldier.

Miss Margaret Scott, superintendent of the Industrial Home For Girls at Adrian, denounces as false the story published in Brezee's Herald, alleging cruelty to certain inmates of the Home.

The G. A. R. Post at Saranac will give a social at Anderson's Hall in that village on Saturday evening, of this week. All who can should attend and

i give the boys a lift. If the fast train going east (due here at 7 p. m.) would stop at Saranac, there would IK; a dele-gation from Lowell present. There may be, anyway.

New wheat is bringing 87 cents now— a pretty low price but there are no in-dications at present that it will bring a better price. The yield ibis season is immense. It is a common thing to hear of 40 to 45 bushels to the acre. The quality is A 1 and we wish the price was ifl.OO, but It Isn't and Isn't likely to be. according to reports.

A Berrien county wife very justly complains of her husband. He not only knocked her down and disfigured her handsome face but the wretch kicked her front teeth out with his boot heel. She objects to having her teeth pulled in that way, and if the citizens there don't put him where the dew won't fall on him they are a queer lot.

The pious looking young man who came here to establish a circulating library two weeks ago stole a suit of clothes from Jap. Waterman at the Davis House, and skipped out| without paying his board bill. His name is Jas. Boyer, or that was the name be carried with him while here.

Our exchanges are warned against one W. Geo. Ross, a long haired poet, who claims to hall from the east. He sold us his honor for the paltry sum of ^10 and wo find that wo paid 999 per cent too much. Pass the nail along for the benefit of the press.—Lijoas Her ah I,

Same chap was in Lowell, but we didn't invest. He claimed to represent the N. Y. Graphic. He wore long hair, seedy clothes and a strong breath.

The Gratiot County Journal Is nine-teen years old and a brighter country paper Is hard to find. Robert Smith Is a thorough newspaper man and a strlke-from-the-shoulder fellow, who means what he says and says what ho means. Bob may lose the postoffice but he'll tell the powers that be what the belated man told Noah—"Go ahead with your old Ark—tain't going to IK' much of a show-er. anyhow."

F. O. Taft, the gentlemanly station agent of Lowell, was in the village

some oat and corn stalks to us Saturday which he said were fair samples of the crop in that vicinity after the hail had fallen. The oats were threshed quite as thoroughly as a thresher could do it and the corn stalks were badly bruised and split, practically destroying the crop. Gardens were pelted into the ground and window panes were broken by scores. To some jwople in that vicinity the loss is considerable. Here, in Lowell, there was no hail, but a lively gale and some rain.

Telephone connection with Froeport is desirable and we trust the line will l)e put through at once. (The above item was intended for last week's J O U R N A L

but was overlooked.)

A severe hall storm passed from the north-east over Vergennes Friday, doing much damage to growing crops and fruit. The track of the storm was about a mile wide; just how far it ex tended in length wo have not been able to learn. At A. R. Hoag's and in that vicinity the storm was terrlflic.

Close—who has been confined to his home mostly for 14 years, and shut out as it were from farm scones —July 30, with a fine collection of grains, plants and llowers, from his broad acres, which gift was highly ap-preciated by the receiver. Among tho 24 different varieties, was a bunch of timothy grass numbering 79 stalks ap-parently growing from one seed, tho longest being 4 feet 3i inches in length.

Several varieties of unknown flowers ami plants, afforded pleasure, all of which proves that "the cares of this life, and the doceitfulnoss of riches," do not always choke tho tender im-pulses of heart and hand, to cast the sunshlno of kindly romombranco across the invalids path, in tho beautiful of "Forest, Field and Farm."

Bruce, of the United States Revenue Collector's Office, informed nn editor of tho Dully Press, of this citv, that for seven years he suffered terribly from Rheumatism lu his ankle, which most of the time wns swollen to two or three times Its natural size, and was so painful that ho could not put his foot to the ground. After trying everything he could think of without obtaining relief, he at ten o'clock one morning applied St. Jacobs Oil. and shortly afterwards made two further applications. At three o'clock that afternoon tho pain was gone; the swelling also disappeared, and the cure wns as permanent as It was quick.

Dr. ITfss, the specialist, of Grand Rapids will be in our town Monday of next week Aug. 10. Dr. Hess' name and reputation ire hlready familiar to the most of us as many residents of Lowell and surrounding country can testify.

There-fore any who may be ailing with some difficulty and perhaps abandoned should not fall to see him when here and for the convenience of those who may wish treatment he wdl have rooms at the Davis House. 7wl.

From the round at the top ho has stepped to the sky!"

I t Was General Grunt ' s Own Desire T h a t He l ie Hurled la One of Now York's Varlu—In Deference to This Wish Riv-ers ide I'arU Was Chosen—The Appear-ance of the UoJy AI I t Was Placed In tho Casket.

WAsnixcTox, D.C. , July 30.—Adjutautr General Drum has Informed the President tha t lie was told at Mount McGregor tha t

General Grant himself, before leaving Now York, requested his family to have his body burled in one of the Now York parks. The family were only, therefore, car-rying out his own desire in selecting New York as the place of sepulture.

Old friends of General Grant and mem-bers of his family hope that General Drum's

statements to the President will stop fur ther criticism. I t is known that the feelings of Mrs. Grant. Colonel Grunt and other mem-bers of the family h a r e been sorely wound-ed by the at tacks of the press and the com-plaints of the public regarding tho place

of burial. The Washington news-papers, keenly disappointed because the remains of the dead soldier were not to repose In the National Capital, were tho most offensive In their criticisms, but it is thought that henceforth they will keep silent. The wish of General Grant In this mat ter would never have I wen made public had not the expressions of the press nnd public assumed tho magnitude of a Na-tional scandal. I t was to put a stop to th is tha t the family Informed Adjutant-General Drum of the expressed desire of tho old Commander.

P L A C E D IN T H E CASKET.

MOUNT MACGIIEGOR, N. Y., Ju ly 30.— Thirty-eight mombere of Battery A, F i f th United Slates artillery, arrived here and went into camp lasfevening. Tho casket was brought up by the same train and, later on, tiio remains were attired in a black broadcloth suit, tho coat of the double-breasted Prince Albert pat-tern, buttoned over the bosom. A stand-u p collar, with a black tie, surrounds the neck, and plain gold studs are In the cuffs and bosom. The right hand Is folded across tho breast, while the lef t lies easily at tho side. The glass cover was screwed down closely Into the fittings, making tho casket air-t ight I t was then covered with the American flag.

When the General s body was placed In the casket It was observed by tho under-takers • that the liardening process which results from successful embalming was pro-ceeding satisfactorily. Tho body should re-tain Its life-like appearance for at least s ix months. Tho colored servant Harrison was permitted, as a last service to his dead mas-ter, to adjust a black scarf around tho nock and tie the bows of the slippers encas-ing the f ee t Af t e r the body had been ar-ranged, Colonel Fred Grant entered tho room, and a f te r a long and reverent con-templation of his father 's features, ho placed a plain gold ring upon the third finger of the General's right hand. H o then placed in the breast pocket of tho coat a small packet of mementoes.

The reason the General will not be buried in his uniform Is becaase he has none. I l l s uniform of Lleutenant-General was sent to Washington with tho other relics of his ca-reer last spring, and was transferred to the Government All his swurds went at the same time.

REGINA, N. W. T., Aug. I.—On the open-ing of court ycslcrdny morning half an

hour was consumed iu taking the remain-ing tostlmony for llio defense. The rest of tho forenoon was occupied in examining witnesses called by tho f r o w n In rebuttal, (iencral Middieton nnd oth-ers testifying lo Kiel's sanity. Fitz-patrick, for the defense, then addressed the jury. The atgument was that Kiel first took up tlie gricvanees of tho half-breed;! with the intention of securing redress from the Governmcntbut Hie iiiovemuiit sooii>s-Bumed such proportions that ho could not control if, and he was carried along until his mind lost its poise, and he became irre-sponsible.

At the coneliis'.on of tiio couiisel's ad-dress Iho judge gave Kiel permission to speak in his own behalf, and for two hours he harrangued the crowded court-room, which was silent as death. Kiel prefaced h l sadares i with a prayer, and with his eyes tnined Heavenward said:

"O, my Cod. help int> throuirh tho Knico and divine intluenco or Jesus Christ. Illo's mo, bless this honorable comt, bles^ this honora-blo Jury, bless nu- cood lawyers who havo come icven Imndrr.t leagues to t ryto.-avo my lllc; bless tiio law, crsof the Crown, for thoy have dono what they thought to be their duty, and havo shown a fairness I did not ex-pect. Uh.niy Coil, MePS all tho.-o who aro around mo, and tlnouirh the grace or Jesus Chrlbt, our Saviour, turn their curiosity into calm Intoiost. Amen."

The prisoner then began his address. Posterity, ho said, would just ify him for what he had done, nnd Ihotigh now a fail-ure his mission would lie taken up by tho spirit and successfully nccomplished. His writings would live af ter liim. For ten years God had protected him ou his mission' ami when the bullets Hew thick around him ho knew he would be safe. God acknowledged him when (iencral Middieton lestilled Unit he was sane, and broke down tho evidence of the Insanity eqier t s . By the grace of God he was tho founder of Manitoba and tiio benefactor of humanity, the prophet of the new world. During tiie past night liod had bpoken to him and comforted him. lu conclusion the prisoner said:

"Vour honors and Jury: My life, liberty and reputation aro ut your disposal. 1 havo not tho sllKht'-sl doubt us to your verdict, and tho calmness or my mind eoncornimt the favorable decision I e.vpect does not como from my presmnptlon. \ MI me conscientious and you will anjui t me. 1 wish to stato that tbo llousf of Commons, tho Senate, and tho Ministry oi the Dominion do uot represent tho Northwest. It Is only a show mid not a reprpseniatlvc Oovern-ment which rules Canada and the Northwest. Witnesses on both sides ha* o made it certain to you that petition al ter petition was sent t<t tbo Federal (iov»n-iuneiit, but so Ii responsible Isthat Government that besldei doing:nothing to i-atlsfy the people of tho Northwest It has not given either l i eno r response. This fact would Imlicate insanltv complicated with paralys's. That monster of inesponslbilli'.-, the Ins me Covenmient, nnd its llttlo one. tho Northwest C- une I, havo made up their minds to answer my petitions by suiTOundliiK mo slyly, atlcniptiiiir to Jump at me and my pro-pie. Happily, when they showed their teetu I was ready. I havo tired and wounded them. This Is what is called my erhno, my inuli trea-son. They led me to it but m,. net was In the name of Jesus (. hriet, who alone can help mo."

A rambling attack on the Government ended the prisoner's address, which cans d Intense excitement, At its conclusion Kob-ertHon closed the case ror I!." Crown, ami the Judge charged the jury.

NKW YOKK, Aug. 1.—Special telegrams to Brads'.reef f , while indicating no ma-terial change In the general movement of merohandiso, continue to report greater steadiness in Eastern and other leading d ry . goods, wool, and boot and shoe markets. The re are no changes in prices of theso commodities, but sales aro a little more frcqueiit and dealers inclined to be correspondingly ehcerful . The cotton goods market has been slightly stiffened, particularly that for mourning good.t, duo to the special demand at this time. A num-ber of special makes of the latter are re-ported to have been exhausted. Iron and steel aro as dull as ever. The decreased prodnclioii and increased stocks dur-ing the past half year are especially signifi-cant. Coal is In no better demand. Tho price of wheat has continued depressed and downward. Yesterday there was a reaction based on the reported damago to the spr ing wheat crop lu Minnesota and Dakota. T h e measure of the Injury has not been de-termined. This has been particularly true in the norlh. In the southern portion of the region Indicated some damage has been done by eliinch-bngs, but there has been little or no rain. The hog products market has been weak In sympathy with wheat. Tho demand for grocery staples has been moderate and without any special Improvement Dairy products are lower, with restricted demand both for tho homo trade and for export. Cotton has been higher. The reports from financial centers east and west bring no sings of Improve-m e n t

It is conceded that DR. KENNKDY R FAVOB-ITE REMEDY, of Uondout. N. Y., is the most effecUve preparation now in use for all diaeases arising from a foul or impure state of the circu-lation.

MKMOUIAL EXERCISES.

I'nylMg t r l lmte to tho tnemor r of tlie Nation's grea tes t hero .

(hving to the severe rain storm Sun-day. the plan to hold nieinorial services (in Island drove had to be abandoned and the committee selected Music Hall as the place. At three o'clock p. m. the ball was well filled and tb • following was the program:

1. Dirge by the Band. '2. Prayer by Rev. C. Oldfield. !i. "Rest, Soldier. Rest"—Quartette

Club. 4. Tribute by the Q. A. R. and S.O.V.

Com. 5. Dirge by the Band. (I. Address by Rev. J. T. Husted. 7. Song—"Beautiful, beautiful, the

sjxit where he lies," by Mrs. I. E.Btrong, 8. Benediction by Rev. 1. B. Jones. The exercises passed off to the appar-

ent satisfaction of all present. The ad-dress by Mr. Husted was largely histori-cal and was listened to with marked at-tention and interest. His elougy of the dead General was fine. If we can ob-tain the manuscript the address will lie published in next week's JOURNAL,

Commander Hicks bad charge of the (j. A. R. Post and Capt. F. D. Eddy commanded the S. O. V. boys.

From the Saranac Post. (}. A. R. were present the following comrades who drove from Saranac through the rain to unite with the Lowell comrades iu tbo observance of the day: Post Command-er D. A. Cotton and wife, S. W. Smith. A.D. McConnell and wife,Alex Sprague, O. W. Phillips. T. J . Thomi»son, Chas. Harrington and wife, Geo. A. Potts and wife, Wm. Renwick, and Isaac Abbott, the latter being a member of Joseph Wilson Post.

The Saranac comrades were cordially welcomed by the Lowell comrades and we drop the suggestion right here that the Lowell comrades will be glad to reciprocate.

Had the day been pleasant the exer-cises would have been held on Island Grove and a much larger attendance would have been seen.

Nevertheless the attendance was large the address was excellent, and the entire program was carried out in a manner befitting the occasion.

The following is the tribute to the memory of the dead General, offered by the joint committee of the G. A. R. and 8. O. V.: Comrades and fellow citizens:

We have met to pay tribute to the memory of our fallen chieftain—Gen. Grant.

Poets are inspired to sing his praises and embalm his memory in verse, ar-tists immortalize their names with mod-els of the illustrious dead, orators rise to loftiest eloquence over his eventful career and foreign potentates bow their crowned heads while they cable expres-sions of deepest sorrow and offer condo-lence to the afiiicted.

The poet sings as never before, the artist's hand was never guided by such inspiration, the orator grows more grandly eloquent, because he who has fallen is the greatest hero of the age.

But we, the common people, are not poets, not artists, not orators. We come not as such, but as mourners from the masses whose hearts are as full and whose sorrow is as deep as theirs. We come as soldier veterans, and citizen patriots and claim a position in the front rank of the vast procession that follows the great commander and com-moner to his Riverside rest.

We comt from the ordinary walks and pursuits of life to pay tribute to the memory of the illustrious dead, whose station in life was once as humble as ours and whose rapid rise to fame never for a moment led him away from the hearts of the common people, of whom he was ever proud to Ik1 one.

We come today as Veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, as Sons of Veterans, as grateful citizens of a saved Republic to read the record of his heroic deeds, and to give him the final, fare-well salute as he f ' i r e s in triumph from the battlefield of life to the welcome camp of eternal rest.

Two-sided St. J o h n .

The Grand Itapids Telegram scores a good point as follows:

If the Prohibitionists have heretofore hesitated to believe that ex-Gov. St.John has boen trifling with them and playing them for the money he gets the letter re-ceived by State Senator Sutton, of Iowa, from James G. Thrower, the leader of the Prohibition movement in Georgia ought to be sufficient to satisfy them. The letter is in marked contrast with the nosition assumed by St. John here in the North where there is a political Prohibi-tion party. The following statement is made by Mr. Thrower over his own sig-nature, at Atlanta, the 24th inst.:

"When Gov. John P. St. John was in this city last March I was with him,and visited with him and rode over the city with him and disctased with him the advantages of non-partisan local option over other methods, and he said both publicly an(' private that the method adopted in the South, and especially in Georgia, in procuring prohibition under local option unmixed with party politics was the best tliat possibly could be

T h e F i g h t l n the F i f t h .

The Ionia National, a fusion green-back paper, whose editor was elected to a county office by fusion votes last fall, runs up the black flag and buries its dag-ger in the buzzum of democracy, as fol-lows:

The political situation in the Fifth district is growing a little interesting with a (lecided prospect that it will grow still more interesting about a year hence, when some of theso Democratic wise-heads who are just now figuring to crush Congressman Comstock, find some of their jtet schemes of conquest knocked higher than a kite by a disgust-ed and indignant Greenback constituen-cy. The contest at the present time is over the appointment of a U.S. Marshal, and Major Kelsey of this county, who Ls Mr. Comstock's candidate, is 'meeting with all kinds of opposition from a cer-tain faction of Democrats who have laid themselves out to oppose anything and everything favored by Mr. Comstock.

All of a sudden they have grown ex-tremely solicitious about the Greenback-era and aro most desperately anxious that u Greenbacker should receive some substantial recognition, and what is more natural than that they should

iring this Greenback dodge on Major elsey in order to break Mr. Comstock's

influence with the President. The amount of anxiety these fellows aro ex-hibiting over us Greenbackera just now, would make a mule snicker. They do nothing from morning till night' but talk about the necessity of recognizing the Greenback element and nights they dream of scores of Greenbackera hold ing fat places and living off the richest kind of official mush.

The real milk in the cocoanut, how-ever, is ibat theso fellows have conspir-ed against Mr. Comstock, and their pa-laver about Greenback recognition is simply a device to kill off tho Green-backer's Congressman. To this end they are booming ex-Warden Waters Now, the National would be very glad to see Mr. Waters appointed to some good po-sition, but not to the one Mr. Kelsey as-pires to, and to which by everything that is honorable and fair, he is justly entitled. Mr. Waters has no right to be a candidate against him after having written a letter endorsing Mr. Kelsey, and in so doing he is only l«nding him-self as a tool in the hands of men who have not now and never have had any sympathy with the Greenback party. The scheme may carry, but if it does it will be a cold day for the Democrat-ic party in the Fifth district. Ionia county Greenbackera will stand by the Congretsman they helped elect and will mop the ground with any set of men » ho contribute to humble and belittle him.

" A r i e a s u r e E x e r t i o n . "

"Hut pleasures are like Popples spread; You seize tho flower. Its hloomls dead."

The full force of which orthodox quotation was brought home to the physical consciousness of five damsels who explored Flat river recently.

Even Hannibal had an elephant to transport him through the inundated valley of the Po. Had he attempted to wade, we think history would not have been required to lament the ignomin-ious olose of his brilliant career. For wading is not comfortable, to speak mildly. The five damsels in question sallied forth early one warm afternoon with little bundles and parasols. After floundering over fences, and through marshes infested with honiets—as one of their number can testify—they reached the river at a point much above where the performance was to take place. Here a council of war was held while the Five sat on a log in a row. It was finally decided that they should divest themselves of unnecessary clothing, (no spectators being expected), and wade down the river to the point desired about a half mile below. (Fatal resolve.) They arrayed themselves in "bathing suits" of nondescript appearance, rolled their clothes into huge bundles and gingerly tested the water with their toes. By and by, as courage rose, they struck out, in procession, toward the middle of the river. A moderate mental calcula-tion convinces the writer that there were two thousand and seventeen crabs among the stones between the point where the Five entered the river and where they finally escaped therefrom—(alive). The rear guard of the advancing column first sounded the alarm as a malicious crab savagely nibbled one of her toes. Whereupon the Five executed the most extraordinary "standing high jumps" in the direction of the nearest large stones, and screamed in concert. The scene that would now have met the eye of a spectator, had any appeared, would have justified an "audible smile." When the excitement had in some degree subsi-ded the leader urged the necessity of advance; they accordingly abandoned their respective retreats, with much reluctance, peering anxiously over their bundles into the water in order to avoid the enemy (crabs). The program (the war cry, the gymnastic leaps und the chorus of screams) was repeated at in-tervals till the rive were thoroughly exhausted and the soles of their feet were nearly blistered in consequence of the rough contact with the myriads of sharp little stones that paved the river-bed. At last they succeded in landing on a narrow stretch of sandy beach, where it M as decided to hold the carni-val. A board was procured and anchor-ed off the beach to serve as a bathing house; and the Five sat in a row as before and rested from their labors, the right wing keeping guard against the crfiir.. It was nearly dark before the feet of the company were in a condition to do transportation duty, and the Five were very hungry, but as they tore their dresses and scratched their hands and faces on their homeward way through the woods, they one und all declared that they had had "a lovely time," and that they "wouldn't have missed it for anything." For an afternoon of quiet, restful recreation we recommend wading in Flat river. O N E O F T H E " F I V E . "

C. T. Wooding, formerly of Lowell but now of Brasstown, N. C.. a mining town at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains, is in the d ty . He. in com-pany with Mr. Danforth, formerly of Lowell, J.T. Phillips and Dr. Whitfield of this place are operating a gold mine at Brasstown. They have alO-stamp mill already in operation, and Mr. Wooding is here purchasing hoisting machinery through the Michigan iron works. He said to a Democrat repoiter yesterday: "Tlie company have about 309 acres of

land in Clay county and the prospects are very favorable for good diggings. Water is plenty. In fact we run all our mills by water power, and use no steam. The ore is what is called free milling, and although of a clear white character, it is very easily crushed, being very brittle. The mine next to ours which has been worked for some time in 20 as-says showed an average of $440 to the ton of ore. The veins are perpendicular instead of horizontal, which makes the mining easy. About 12 miles from us is some of tho purest marble that lies out doors, and I would like to see northern capital go down there and utilize it. The land can be bought for from $1 to $3 an acre. Tlie greatest trouble is that we have no accessible railroads within (W miles of us. There are railways which come nearer, but there are no roads to them. The Blue Ridge mount-ains are filled with minerals. At Mur-phy and Brasstown they forge iron right out of the mine. I expect Dr. Whitfield will return with me in Sej)-tember. The climate down there is delightful; the temperature ranges from 70 to 82. We are 2,400 feet above the sea level.—G. R. Dem. July 31.

Don't expect an advertisement to liear fruit in one night.

You can't eat enough in one week to last you a year, and you can't advertise on that plan, either.

The enterprising advertiser proves that he understands how to buy. lie-cause he understands how to sell.

If you can rouse curiosity by nn advertisement, it is a great point gained. The fair sex doesn't hold all the cur-iosity in the world.

Quitting advertising in dull times is like tearing out a dam because the water is low. Either plan will prevent good times from ever coming.

Trying to do business without ad-vertising is like winking at a pretty girl through a pair of green goggles. You may know what you are doing but nobody else does.

Enterprising traders are beginning to learn the value of advertising the year round. The persistency of those who are not intimidated by the cry of dull times, but keep their names ever before the public, will surely place them on the right side in the end.
