AN ELOQUENT ORATION,
Ool. Infforaoll'fl Tributo at tho Qravo of a
r b Friond's Ohild.
Special to Hip Olohf-Doinoorat.
Washington, J). C, Jan.H. Ina ro
moto coriun of tlio CoiigrcMHlonal como
tery, this afternoon, a small Rronp of
jH'oplu with uncovered heads vvuro ar
ratiKed mound a newly oponud grave.
Tliuy Included Detective and Mr.s. (leo.
A. Miller and Jrlonda, wlio liad Kiitlicr-
vti to witness ine nunai or mo ioniiers
bright, lilt lo hoii, Harry. Am the collln
rusted upon the ties tics thoro was n
painful pause, luoKeu only by tho
mothers Hobs, until tho undertaker ad
vanced toward a stout, florid complex
ioned gentleman in tho parly and whis
pered lo him, the words being inaudible
to (lie lookerson. This gentleman was
Col. Hubert (5. Ingeisoll.a friend of the
Millers, who attended tho funeral at
their request. He then shook his head
and said. "Does Mr. Miller desire it?"
Tho undertaker gave the alllrmative
nod, Mr. Miller looked toward the noted
orator, and then hastily Col. Ingersoll
ndvanced to the side of tho grae and
made one of his
OHA IIACITKIU.STIO KllLC-dUM
for tho dead. Ho stood .unprotected
from the drizzling rain, and said : "My
friends, 1 know how vain it is to gild
grief with words, and -yet, I wish to
tako frdm every graVo its fear. Here
In tliis world, whore life and death .we
equal kings, all should bo brave enough
lo meet what all tlio dead have met.
The fjiiture Iihh been filled with fear,
stained and polluted with the heartless
past. From tho wondrous tree of life,
tlio buds and blossoms fall with ripen
ed fruit, and in tlio -common bed of
earth the patriarchs and babies sleep
side by side. WliyBhriuld wo fear that
which will come to all that is? We
tan not tell We do not know which
is the greater blessing life or death.
Wo can not say that death is not
good; wo do not know whelhor the
grave Is the end of this life or the door
of another, or whether tho night here
huiot somewhere else a dawn. Neither
J"janwo tell which is the more fortunate,
the child dying in tlio motlier's.arins,
ViCifOio its lips have learned to form a
Word, or he who journeys all tho length
of
LICK'S UNKVKN KOAl),
painfully taking the last slow steps
'with staff and crutch. Every cradle
asks us, "Whence V" and everv collln,
"WhltherV" The poor barbarian,
weeping above his dead, can answei
these questions as intelligently and sat
isfactorily us tho robed priest of
tho most authentic creed. Tlio tearful
ignorance of tho one lb just as good as
the learned and unmeaning words Of
the other. No man standing whore
the horizon of a life lias touched a grave,
has any right to prophesy a future Idl
ed with pain and tears. It may bo that
death gives all there is of worth to life.
Tf those wo press and strain against
our hearts could never die, perhaps that
love would wither from tho earth. May
be this common fato treads from out
the p iths between our hearts tho weeds
of selfishness and hate, and 1 had rath
er Jive and love where death is kiuy,
than have eternal lifo where love is not.
Another life is naught unless wo know
and love again tho ones who lovo us
'here.
They whosland with breaking hearts
'around this llttlo'gravo need luivo no
- fiai Tlui larger and nobler fitfth in all
Uhjjt is, and is to bedells us tlmtdoath,
oven
AT ITS WOUST
is only perfect rest. We know that
through tho common wants of life, tho
needs and duties of each hour, their
grief will lessen day by dav until at last
those griefs will bo to them a place of
, rest huil peace, almost joy. There is for
- thoin.this consolation. The dead do
noc suffer. If they live again their
lives will surely boas good as ouis.
We have no fear; we are all children
of tho samo mother and tho same fate
awaits is all. Wo too, have our re
ligion, and it, is this: 'Help for tho
living, hopo for the dead."'
At the' conclusion of tlio eloquent
oration the little collln was deposited in
Jhc last resting place covored with
dowers.

Al present Ann Arbor is undergoing
an agitation on Temperance and Civil
Service Reform. Hoth principles are
strictly advocated and supported by
thriving associations. Michigan some
yeais ago, we believe, wiib numbered
among the prohibition states, but in
tho year 187(1 or thereabouts, the legis
lature rcnealed all exiiilmr liiu'u Mm!

are imposed upon the sale of intoxicat
ing unuKs, uo not constitute much of a
burden unon tho saloon Wonnnra av
suppose the temperance peoplo are
laboring to reinstate tlio old order of
affairs. The Ann Arbor haw Loot lira
Course, as it is called, has prepared for
us a list of notable temperance orators
The Mrst on the list was Hon NeaJ
Dow, the temperance war horse from
Miilne. Ho gaVo us a very good talk,
devoting most of ids timo, however, to
tho Maine liquor law. It was amusing
to see with what earnestness ho com
batted the different newspaper criti
cisms that had been published concern
ing this subject. In commenting upon
some correspondence anil statistics as
f ...... 1. I I.. .. -V'...., -.-....I. I...
pilDJIHUCd III a iuw jinn jmpui, in-
remarked that he could not understand
why peoplo would Ho so. Wo noticed
that this samo paper, a few da.Vs later,
made tho same criticism on Neal Dow.
Wo suppose if wo lived to be four
score years and ten and had no other
criterion to found our opinion upon
than what wo glean froin newspaper
correspondence and rostrum eloquence,
tiio exact status of tlio Elaine law
would bo as foggy to us as is the work
ing of tiic Kansas law to a down caster.
Neal Dow Is over 70 years of age,
hair extremely gray, brow furrowed,
yet his step is elastic, his voice strong
and his energy astonishing. He re
minded us in his appearance of the pic
ture wo have seen of Gen. Winlield
Scott. In stature he is quite a smnll
man, and when he Is attired in close
lilting broad cloth, his bow legs set him
oil oddly enough. Ho must have been
a whole army In himself in ids younger
days; even at his present advanced age
ho Is equal to a few regiments. We
were very much pleased with what we
saw of Neal Dow.
Last night and to-day Kentucky's
sou, Geo. W. Haiti, has been talking to
immiMiso audiences. As Jirowuviiio is
acquainted with him, wo need notice
him no further. In his remarks to-day,
Hain paid a glowing tribute lo our Ne
braska man, John Jl. Finch, who de
livers a lecture here next week. Ue
foro Finch comes, however, we are to
hear Ellen Foster, of Iowa. Outside
of tliis course, but upon the same sub
ject, on January -Wilt, wo are to hear
the world's greatest temperance orator,
John H. (lough. Thus you see tlio big
guns arc being II red oil' llrst.
Well, I suppose you have received
enough temperance, so now for a little
civil service refoim, for we must com
ess the whole countiy needs this bad
enough.
There has been established at the
University a school ol political cienu ,
the only thing of the kind, we believe,
in the United States. Judge Coolev it
one of tin organizers and a leading
light of the same, and in order that the
students might study civil service to-,
torm to a better advantage, lie in con
junction with other professors and citi
zens, have organized an association lor
that parliculai object. A course of six
lectures for tho winter was made out.
0. li. Adams, president of tlio associa
lion, prwtesswr of political history in
the University and author of "Democ
racy and Aristocracy in France," deliv
ered the (list two lectures. Prof. Ad
ams leans strongly toward the English
system of civil service. Do criticised
both parlies severely, and our modern
politicians would be unable to find a
single word of comfort in what lie said
Last Saturday niuht we heard Hon.
Sherman Rogers of UuTfalo, N. Y. Hi
lecture was a brief commentary upon
the political history of thin country
from Washington down, giving us the
condition of tlio civil service under
each administration. For instance he
told us that during Washington's ad
ministration of eight years there were
only nine removals from ollhe. Under
the elder Adams, nine, while Thomas
Jelterson discharged thirty-nine. Dur
ing tho next three admiuistiations only
twolvo ofllcers wore removed. In the
light of purer circumstances, the fact
that so few were removed in those davs
seems hardly dciorving of mention,
but wo suppose our forefathers con
sidered it as a serious evil. Rogers also
stated that J. Q. Adams was partly re
sponsible for tlio doctrine, "To tin
victor belongs the spoils," although he
did not put it into so general an appli
cation as did Gen. Jackson. Tho speak
er also gave us an Instance of how tho
Now York legislature. 1(1 years before
Jackson's administration, enacted
scenes that for shrewdness, trioken
and unfairness, discounted tlio stai
wart, half-breed light in New York,
as well as tho present dead lock at Al
bany. Tlio lecturer gave us a sound
and instructive paper, and the senti
ments therein contained should Mud a
lodging place in tho mind of every
American citizen.
In the near future Judge Cooley will
give us a lecture on tliis important sub
ject, and of course we are on the qui
cico for something unusually good, If
w had had tlio right kind of civil ser
ico in this country, Judge Cooley
would have been appointed one of our
U. S. Judges long before this.
Wo received a heavy snow last week,
and sleighing is line. The thermoine-
toi has not registered below zero yet.

The Now York Tribune was the on
ly gudgeon that swallowed as a precious
morsel Gulteau's story of recioving
checks from the stalwarts of Now
York and Rrooklyn. It jumps at tho
text given him bythe assassin tb say:
Who aro these stalwarts who are so
anxious to save from punishment tlio
most depraved murderer of tho age?
It would bo moro sensible to enquiro
who aro those half breeds that sent
bogus checks to the assassin to ureato a
false impression by the brawling of
tho most depraved murdorer unhung.
We would suppose Whitolaw Roid had
n hand in it, as ho is up' to exceedingly
small work.
