PRESENT DAY THOUGHTS
v "SKMO.
(Coiyu righted by Diiwc it Tabor )
Come now,
what particular reason
have we for decotating the grave of
tho dead? Let not our reason be that
wo are followers of custom' That par
takes of the unrclicctivcucss of the
savage who nu rely imitates when he
adds another stone to the cairn that lie
passes. Il is our.s rather to realize that
't$ tills season of decoration has 'meaning;
'Yjlthat its chief actors are people who
'think and who use flowers and coic-
monies iitetoly as suiface indications
of a deep heart-feeling.
i Do theso acts of ours even inuicst
the dead? Who can tell? But one
wi old think thai if, in conscious life
I beyond the sighing of earth, they are
able to estimate deeds at their right
valuation, the greatest and the hiavest
of them are rozretful that they were
not ablu to accomplish a hundred fold
more than they did either in living or
in (lying for tho idea Your littlo to-
kun of appreciation and mine may per
chance please them but it cannot do
for them a tithe of what the showing
of that appreciation can do for us.
Ilorcin the true valuo of our tender
regard for the dead, of the vollies we
lire, of tho flowers we strew, of the
flags wo wave, of tho consecrated
words we uttor. Tho valuo and tho
gain aro to us-ward who live and move
in a glorious era of united feeling
which thoso slocping eyes would have
flashed joyously to seo. It is we who
are benefitted by theso exercises
V
Animals look on the dead even
those of their own kind and soon for
get or scarcely notico. But wo sentient
beings return after tho silent glidings
of many years, of centuries even, to
look on the places of tho dead and to
honor them. Why? Because tho death
of tho doer of deeds among men stops
his doing but does not stop tho effects
of the deeds ho did. The- truth of this
is apparent in a moment, if wo reflect
as wo glance downward to tho turf
covered mounds at our feet, that bo
cause theso men had beliofs and lived
them out wo art able to stand around
them united in one great national
whole. The bodies lying there have
rest from their labors, but tho labor re
mains, and greater things than they
did shall wo do, because human labor
is cumulative and becauso wo live to
carry on what dying hands havo drop
ped. Human progtess is liko the
growth of tho printing press from the
slow simplicity of tho lever and screw
to tho complicated mastodons that
thunder out human thought more
swiftly than tho cyo can follow. Tho
machine is made up of infinitely small
improvements by an iniinito number of
mechanics, each one adding somothing
to tho work of construction that lias
already boon effected. Thus it is with
our national life. Our Revolutionary
heroes died to mako a nation. Time
passed and showed that strength was
in union. Our heroes of the late war
died to keop that nation inseparable
forever and ever. Again tho years
rolled on over a period of expansion
unexampled in tho history of the
world. Now is tho time whon wo tho
inheritors ol thoso motionless bones at
our feet go ono step furthor and do
clare that a nation born in noblostriio,
bapti.cd later in its own precious
blood, has risen to tho slaturo of a man
and preaches to a great bullish world a
now evangel; that a nation great in
its own development, great in its tri
umph over tiials, gieat in its prosperity
is not too great to bo deaf to a wail of
woo from its weak neighbor, and is not
too proud to cast its own offering on
the altar of another's Hheity, though
that offering cost dear In tho monoy of
its men and tho sous of its mothers.
I have only a wind for tliosocavillers
wlio would credit all .suits of small mo
tives to the speechless dead, draining
tlio ti nth of every pettiness that can bo
pointed out, yet wo are nevertheless in
a position to say of each of them, "Ho
wrought better than he know." We
do not .say, because- the feet are un
conscious of wheio the will directs
them, no credit is due them for running
an en and of mercy. Shall wo belittle
the ejo that guides (lie hand to a
righteous act, just because both are
ineie servants of tho self within and
because both eye and hand could un
der oilier ciicuiiixtanecs bo pailaker.s
of evil? No! And furthermoie who
among us can dare to sil in judgment
on motives. A look within and a fair
analysis of our most holy acts will re
veal a inixtuie of good and evil inten
tion, sellishness mid self elVacenient
that .vould be positively bewildering
were it not so truly human. We all
aro day by day releasing forces of in
lluonce whoso might wo cannot uicas-
I u iv anil we nittiiues siiaro in givu
forwaid works without any conscious
inteiest in them. It will be well with
us if our legend of praise, like those we
honor, shall be that we wrought often
in dtirkut .ss and doubt, as if in a mine,
but Time lias brought the full value of
our work to light.
Sleep on, dear dead! (Jod sleeps not
and His oyo is on those whoso feet
tread tho ground above you. Out of
their waywardness Ho sifts the good
and jut of their nobility comes tho
righteousness that cxalteth a nation in
His eyes.

Our New Attorney.
Wo give below a couple of very com
plimentary notices to Mr. E. I). Over
man taken from the papers of Oquawka
Illinois. The gentleman had gone to
Watikegan, Illinois, at the time theso
notices were published but on account
of tho subsequent sickness and death
of a member of his family ho could not
give attention to his business at Wati
kegan and become a permanent resi
dent. On this account ami by tho
wishes ot friends he decided to locate
in this city. The Chief wishes him
success in his now iield.
E. U. Overman left for Waukegan
Tuesday w lie re tho linn of Overman &
Safford will ho continued. Tho linn
havo been in business here tho past six
or seven years and built up a largo
practice. Tho lirm lias been eminently
successful in conducting cases, espec
ially, chancery cases where a
largo amount of propetty was involved.
They always gave business prompt at
tention, to which their success was
hugely duo. They have tho best wishes
of their many friends hero for future
prosperity. Hendei. son County Demo
crat, official paper of tho county.
Yesterday, Tuesday, Mr. and Mrs.
E. U. Overman left this city, their
homo during tho last six ypars, for
Waukegan, Ills., where they will in tho
future reside. They leave behind many
friends who will i egret their departure.
It is not a lack of business that induces
this move on the part of Messrs. Over
man & SitiTotd, for they have certainly
done will and prospered in tho accu
mulation of tho world's gear during
their residence hero, but a desire for a
wider Held and the establishment of a
business Unit will justify making a per
manent residence. Mr. Overman lias
been for six years States Attorney of
tliis county. Ho is noted for ills hust
ling qualities ami ability as an orator.
Mr. baff'oid devotes largely his atten
tion to the preparation of cases and
office work and together they make a
strong team m tho legal line. Hero'n

AMHHICAX AND SPANISH.
The war thus far cannot truthfully
1)0 said to be "to the Queen's taste."
The war lias caused an immense do
ci ease in the first and second class
ocean travel.
Spaiiianls in the Canary Islands live
in dread of boinbaidiiieiit by the Amer
ican licet.
The wonderful submarine torpedo
boat Holland has been bought by tho
government.
A dispatch from Loudon says Queen
Victoria favors an alliance with tho
United Slates.
Tlie Maiie uirls should chntinc their
names back to Mary light nwuj quick.
Matie is Spanish.
Upwards of $10,000,001) uiericaii
flags have been sold in this country
since tho blowing up of the Maine.
Tho navy department lias invited
bids for the construction of twenty-
eight torp do boats and torpedo-boat
destroyers.
A large part of Culm is occupied by
impenetrable forests, not more than
ten pel cent of tliu island being under
cultivation.
An error in the naval personnel bill
which recently became a law. gives a
retired captain more pay than one in
active service.
In tho Canadian Parliament, Premier
Caurior and Sir Charles Tupper de
clared themselves in favor of an Amer
ican alliance.
To maintain an army of 200,000 men
for six months will cost $30,000,000, ac
cording to estimated prepared by Pay
master General Stanton.
Tho time has a) "nn Spain
can materially add to tno tn.
power of her naval forces by tho pur
chase of a few tirst class life boats.
It may be, as Polo intimated, that
Dewey is bottled up in Manila bay,
but we'll hot a bagful of pesetas that
Spain can't put a cork in tho bottle.
In Spain's population of 10,000,000
nearly 8,000,000 report "no occupation"
100,000 are registero 1 beggars and two
thirds of tho whole number can neither
road nor write.
Tho government needs war horses
and will soon invito bids for tho sup
ply that may bo wanted. Doalers all
over tho country havo been notified
that desirable stock is wanted. Prices
aro liable to go up.
Havana advices by way of Jamaica
say that tho Spanish troops in Cuba
aro disheartened, and openly express n
wish that American victories will cause
Spain to abandon Cuba and allow them
to return homo.
Tho talk of an Anglo-American alli
ance seemsto have had a marked effect
in Europe. Friendship for tho United
States is now being displayed by pow
ers which beforo wero believed to bo
intensely hostilo to this country.
Tho federal statutes authorize the
payment of a bounty of 9100 for each
man in an enemy's ship of war that is
destroyed in 'iction. Assuming that
thero wero 2,000 mon on the Spanisli
ships nt Manila, there will bo $200,000
to bo divided among tho men of Ad
miral Dewey's fleet.
Spain's now funds which sho is now
spending so freely will help her to
some new war supplies, but it all
comes at a terrible cost. It is neces
sary to spend thret dollars in bonds
for one dollar's worth of coal, ammu
nition or army rations.
It might bo a good thing for Undo
Sam to take a look at that Chadron
company in tho Second regiment at
Chattanooga. If those cowboys wore
given "critters" to rido, thoyjwotild
make things lively about that camp.
But as there was no call for cavalry
from Nebraska they had to vonturo
forth to tho war on foot.
One of Governor Leody's Kansas reg
iments Anally reached camp at Chick
aiunuga, and attracted much attention
on account of the punchy of its equip
ment The men wero not supplied
with canteens or blankets, to say noth
ing of lilies and aiiiunition. In disci
pline they havo been often compared
unfavorably witli Buffalo Bill's wild
bronchos.
