Hood Iiver lacier. SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1S95. VOLUME VI 7. With this Iwue the Glacier enters upon its seventh volume. The paper whs started six year ago by George T. Prather, who, after managing its busi ness for three months, sold out to J. H. Cradlebaugh. During Mr. Prather's management the paper was printed at The Dalles. Mr. Cradlebaugh pur chased printing material, and since then the paper has been printed at home. For six years the Glacier has been a weekly visitor to a majority of the honivK of Hood Elver v valley. The support given the paper has been tut good as might he expected in a com munity no larger than that of Hood lilver valley. It is now nearly a year ince the present proprietor assumed charge. Owing to the loss of theetraw Lerry crop of the valley last season by the high water washing away the rail road and cutting us off from market, the past year was the most critical in the life of the paper. Advertising fell off and subscriptions came In slowly. - The year previous was bad enough, owing to the drop in prices of straw berries, and the former proprietor was forced to go from home and hunt a job, to keep the wolf from the door. To the good friends and public-spirited citizens who have extended their pa tronage and good wishes to the paper under its present management we are grateful. For' nearly a year we have published the paper without printing a dun in its columns, not even a hint to subscribers to pay ud. .We felt that they were good for the amounts owing the paper, that they would pay when they had the money, and therefore have refrained from dunning them . t. - 1 J 41 A J .1 .. t UU 1 J !) iUB UH1U lllllt3.

President Cleveland, recognizing his great abilities, made him secretary of state, the second office in line from the presidency. Coming from the re publican party, he was assailed and his every action severely criticised by his former .political associates as well as by the disaffected in the'democratio party. But his, public acts have now passed Into history. His place will be hard to fill. ' : Ex-Collector Jad. Lotan and Seid Beck, a Chinaman, were convicted in the U. S. court of smuggling. C. J.

AN ABLE MEMORIAL SERMON, Preached In the Congregational Church, Hood Rlrcr, Oregon, May 20, 1895, by Rev. J. L Hersliner. Published by request of Canby Poll, G.A.R. Text: II.' Samuel, 10; 12 "Be of good cour age, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God." The twofold object of this day and service is to honor the dead and teach patriotism. When we think about, and teach patriotic devotion to our country, we need not, yea, one cannot lose sisrht of that "far better country," "whose builder and maker is God," and where dwells the God of Nations. In this better country we hope to come to gether by and by. This occasion of memory for the dead, and of deep and earnest patriotic action, need not be without many helpful spiritual lessons for us all. During the memorable years from 1861 to 1865, thousands of men left their families and friends . at home ' and marched to the front, to meet and de feat the men of the Confederate States, who had declared by voice, pen and action that they would dissolve the Union and establish a new govern ment, of which slavery should be the chief corner-stone. You are here today to represent this army of gallant, lib erty-loving men. One purpose which brings thousands of worn and scarred veterans together today, all over our broad land, is to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of their dead comrades, and again, be fore they pass hence, to show their love for our country. You love your coun try as you ' love your homes and your families; your fondest aspiration is to see it great and strong. . Many of the men who went down with you laid down their lives. You are here. Many of those who fell by your side filled un marked graves. Your resting places will be marked. Many of your com rades lost parts of their bodies, and others contracted disease. You enjoy the blessings of life and are honored all over the land, if not by every one in the land. The little bronze button was never worn with more pride than it is today, and the enthusiastic work of the Grand Army is apparent every where. So you have much to be thankful for, and may come before God with devout gratitude. The Grand Army of the Republic has reached the "beginning of the end." When, twenty-eight years ago, Dr. Stephenson of Illinois made an humble beginning of the Grand Army of the Republic, little did be think that it would grow so large as to embrace 45 departments, with 7,782 posts and over 400,000 members. It reoehed the "high-water mark" in 1800. This grand organization has reached the apex of its prosperity and has begun to decline in numbers. - Every year makes deep inroads into its ranks. The "high water mark" reached in 1890 gave it a membership of 409,489. Its member ship ending 'June, 1894, was 371,555. This organization of soldiers and pa triots lias nearly 40.000 fewer members than four years ago. Its membership has been steadily decreasing since 1890. There are about 400 fewer Grand Army posts this yeur than lost, in 1890. when the membership was the ' largest, 5,476 answered that higher roll-cull; while last year, with a decreased member ship. 7.302 heard the summons, "Come up higher," and have gone to their re ward. Comrades, your numbers will grow less. In army life, when your companies and regiments were reduced by imprisonment, wounds ana death, thev were consolidated. Already offi cial steps are being taken to consolidate Grand Army posts, so weak in mem bership are they becoming, as tnere is no prospect of adding to their num ber, disbandment must soon come un less thev. are consolidated. Death Is decimating: your ranks. While you come together to lay your garlands of love upon the graves of departed com' rades, the silent footfalls are stealing into your posts, ana soon in is out or 4o departments there will not be enough left to officer them. You are in your declining years; but these years are full of honor and distinction. You gallant ly went lorth to save the union, and you did it. The Sons of Veterans, yea. a nation's freemen, will hold your memories in grateful reverence, and with unbounded pride -will strew the garlands of love upon your graves, be cause you shouldered your musKets and went forth to save our country, when the South said it shall be dismembered. How gloriously - you succeeded the greatness of our united country unmis takably attests. In the days when Henry Clay was at his prime, he stood upon Allegheny's heights and exclaimed, "I hear the tread of coming millions." They have come. They cume in larger numbers than Henry Clay ever dreamed. But you, comrades, so noble , as men, and soldierly as warriors upon the field of battle, made it possible for them to come to make their homes in our un broken chain of states. You conquered the men who said there shall be no Union. You lived bravely and you fought valiently upon the field of battle to preserve Inviolate the nation's honor, and you succeeded better than you knew. Our soldiers were heroic in the defense of our national life. They en dured bravely the pain of disease, the pangs of hunger, the horrors of impris onment, and they died like men. Three hundred thousand of your com rades are resting in 82 national ceme teries; 149,000 are at rest In unknown and unmarked graves; thousands of others are at rest In the cities of the dead by our homes. The names of many were given up with their lives. These are comrades to memory dear, who perchance were shot down by your side In battle, or died from wounds or disease while in service. Those were days of severe struggle and of dread uncertainty. The destinies of a nation of freemen were in the balance. In these dark days of 1862 many de spaired of the republic; many faltered and were dismayed. With varying de grees of Intensity the democratic party of the North sympathised with the South and arraigned Mr. Lincoln and the republican party for all the evils the country was called upon to endure. Not only during this year, but the en tire period of the war, New York, Ohio and Indiana were doubtful states. They were only kept in line by active and desperate fidelity of leaders in pol itics and soldiers at the front. During j the darkest days of the war, Secretary Seward insisted that President Lincoln I should surrender the chief prerogatives of his office. General Hooker demand ed that he should declare himself dic tator. But Lincoln rebuked this de mand. General McClellan earnestly advised from Harrison's Landing, in July, 1862, that, the president should put himself at the head of military and civil affairs, with a general in com mand on whom he could rely, and thus assume dictatorship of the repub lic. President Lincoln treated this ad vice with silent contempt. . He was importuned to give up General Grant; but, said Mr. Lincoln, "I cannot do it; he fights. " He was the subject of vig orous and unreasoning criticism from his political associates, and of degrad ing personal assaults from political op ponents, but he never faltered. He was resolute to perform every duty that devolved upon him, but he declared that the responsibility of preserving the government rested upon the people and soldiers at the front. Right roy ally did they save the nation. To the valient soldiers who so will ingly went forth to save the Union must be given the credit for the con summation of the task which was so near to the heart of Abraham Xincoln. You have lived to see the consumma tion of the great undertaking in the cause of freedom.- On the 18th day of December, 1865, Mr. Seward made proclamation that the amendmenta had been ratified by 27 of the 36 states, and that slavery and involuntary ser vitude were from that time and forever impossible within our limits. You have lived almost thirty years since that date and have seen how the free dom you effected has been carried out, and how our national example has wrought the abolition of the slave trade in Brazil and in the colonies of Spain and Portugal; and how it led to the ex termination of the transatlantic slave trade, and has been an inspiration to the nations of Europe in their efforts to destroy the traffic in human beings on the continent of Africa. Ours was more than a national victory; It has been an inspiration impelling to action, all over the world, freedom-loving peo ple to strike the shackles from the slave. The cost of this glorious victory was intense loyalty to our government by our soldiers, good generalship, hard fighting, heroic endurance, and the precious lives of over 200,000 soldiers. Mr. Wm. O. Stoddard, who was President Lincoln's private secretary, told, just a few weeks ago, of our hon ored chieftain's anxiety for a favorable outcome of the war. This was during the darkest hours of the civil war. The army of the Potomac, under General Hooker, had just fought the bloody battle of Chancellorsville. The record of their dead told how bravely they had fought. But they were defeated, losing 17,000 men. The Confederate commanders acknowledged a loss of only 13,000. The country was weary of the long war; and now the North must be made acquainted with this costly contest Discontent was every where raising its head. Many of the severest critics were men of undoubted patriotism. This private secretary says the mail desk in the white house was heaped with letters, as if the president could read them all. He knew what these letters meant without reading them. President Lincoln knew of the forever vacant places in a hundred 'thousand households before Chancellor ville. Many of these letters consisted of severe denunciation, many others made piteous pleas for peace and for a termination or the severe-struggle, the civil war. This latest struggle sent back echoes to Washington from a heart-stricken multitude. Besides these hundreds of letters, there were callers at the white house, but they were not the customary throng. Members of the senate and house came with gloomy faces, and members of the cabinet came to consult or condole the president. This- was one of the darkest hours. Stacks of letters, statesmen and officers alike pleaded, Cannot something be done? Army and navy officers were discouraged. But the ''boys in blue" were not discouraged. : The army, east and west; was ample in force and ready to fight again. , President Lincoln reckoned upon that invincible element. That night, his last visitors were Stanton and Hal leek. They went away in silence some where near 9 o'clock. Not another soul was on that floor but the private secretary, who was busy with the mail in his room across the hall from the president's. The doors of both rooms were open, for the night was warm. The silence was deep, but there came a regular and ceaseless sound. It was the tread of the president's feet as he strode slowly back and forth across the chamber in which so many president's had done their work. . Was he to be the last of the line? The Inst president of the entire United States? If he had wavered, if he had failed in faith or courage, and not reckoned upon the soldiers at the front, the nation would have lost its great battle. Letters there were, hundreds of them, many hideous with denunciation and threats and many were tear-blistered. But Pres ident Lincoln was not reading these letters. He was in an adjoining room reading the lesson of Chancellorsville and the future of the republic. He was feeling the bounding pulse of the boys at the front, who were the least discouraged of any, who were saying, The government must and shall be saved. Ten o'clock came , without a break in the steady march. Eleven o'clock came, and another hour of un broken march; and 12 o'clock, and still the constant footfalls in the president's room. A little past 12 there was a sud den silence, and the secretary put down his letters to listen. Was Mr. Lincoln at his table, writing? : Or may no man knows or can guess! At the end of the minutes, long or short, the tramp began again. Two o'clock,' he was walking yet; and past 3, when the sec retary slipped noiselessly out, he turned at the head of the stairs a moment. It was so the last sound he heard as he went down was the footfall in Lin coln's room. . The young secretary bad need to re turn early, and was there again before 8 o'clock. The president's room door whs open and he went in. There sat Mr. Lincoln, eating bis breakfast alone. He bad not been out of bis room. There was a hind of a cheerful, hopeful morning light in his face, instead of the funereal battle-cloud from Chan cellorsville. He had watched all night, but a dawn had come, for beside his cup of coffee lay the written draft to General Hooker to push forward, to fightagain. In that long vigil witb disaster and despair,' President Lincoln fought the battle over again, and he won it. Only a few weeks later, the boys in blue fought it over, too, and they won it, at Gettysburg. Speaking of the principle embodied in the Declaration of Independence, President Lincoln said: "If this coun try cannot be saved without giving up that principle, I was about to say, I would rather be assassinated on tbe spot than surrender it." In the stu pendous struggle to maintain this prin ciple, over 200,000 heroes lay down their lives, and then President Lincoln's own life was laid down beside tbe humblest private soldier or drummer boy that fills the sacred mold of Get tysburg or Chickamauga. He said one time, as if alone with his thoughts, "How gladly would I take the place in the ranks ot tbe humblest soldier that sleeps tonight upon tbe banks of the Potomac." He sleeps sweetly with those who lay down their lives for our country; and you, comrades, must, ere long, an swer the bugle call from yonder and will go hence with the consciousness of duty well and valiently performed for our country. For. a whole genera tion many have slumbered at rest upon the bosom of our God, and in another generation the thousands of valient soldiers for our country's honor and integrity shall have passed hence, be loved and honored by a nation of free men. Your lives have performed the grandest work or the century now closing, and your eyelids, now some times growing tired, will be gently pressed down by the Angel of Peace, and your dust will join that of heroes gone before. And in the generations to come, the millions of the liberated will gratefully say of their liberators: "We were a-hungered and thou gavest us the bread of mercy; we were thirsty for liberty, and thou gavest us to drink: we were strangers, and thou didst take us in; we were sick with two centuries of sorrow, and thou didst visit us; we were in the prison house of bondage, and thou earnest unto us. And you may surely expect the King to say unto you, "inasmuch as thou hast done it unto the least of these my brethren, tbou bast done it unto me. Well done, good and faithful servants; enter thou into the joy or thy Lord." " How sleep the brave who sink to rest, By all their country's wishes blest." Now, some words upoa .the 'other lesson of this memorial service, its mis sion to instill patriotism in the hearts or our countrymen, me war. is over. There is no fighting anymore between the "boys in blue" and the boys that wore the gray. Tbe country knows no jNortn, no south, no .East. . no west. With clasped bauds, a nation of free men come before a common altar. We are for one country and one flag. Just lust winter the wearers of tbe blue and gray sat together at Chicago and pledged their loyalty to tbe stars and strikes which hung in niofusion around the wall. But notwithstanding that tbe war is over and its drums are silent. and we hear no more tbe tramp of passing inrantry nor the cannon's thunder tone, there are yet terrible foes to be recKoned with. I want to say, and I say it deliberately, it is foolish to indulge in an optimism which de nies the existence of dangers to our na tional life; and upon the other baiid, it is unwise to tall in to a pessimism which unduly . exaggerates the influence of tnese dangers. There are some things dangerous to our patriotism. . It is as true now as ever it was, that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Our text says: "Be of good courage. and let us play the men for our people ana ior tue cities or uoa." "immi and our country"- was their cry. Never upon field of battle did officer shout across to brother officer a nobler senti ment than "Be of good courage. Let us play tbe men for our people." Tbe word "hero," which perhaps expresses our loftiest conception of moral gran deur, comes from a Greek word of the same root as tbe Latin vir a man. So then, a hero is a man in the largest sense of the word. The motive for patriotism and heroism , was "for our people and the cities or our God." They were not feted and feasted states men and generals. Theirs was a call to action, impelled by love of country and of country's God. Patriotism is one of the noblest sen timents that can occupy the human breast, and none is so pure as that wnicn is Kindled at the altar or Uod. Patriotism is not alone confined to campaigns anM battlefields, but must live in the hearts, homes and work shops of a free people, if it lives at all. Patriotism will take the very medals showered upon it, place no value upon them, and melt them down if neces sary to provide relief for those who are oppressed. It did it once; it can do it again. It is said of General Grant that he never felt one responsibility more than another. He felt it his duty to do his best under every circumstance. It was the patriotic and duty idea to country that ruled him. The American who .does not love America is unworthy the honor and protection of American citizenship. Americans ought to be pitied whose patriotism does not kindle in'o a glow ing fervor as they remember our Con cord, Lexington and Bunker Hill, or those more recent batlleflelds where the stain of slavery and rebellion were wiped from our flag. The people of our commonwealth ought to say in thunder tones, in the undying words of Rufus Cbeate, "We give ourselves to no party that does not carry the flag and keep step to tbe music of tbe Union." We should strive more a thousand times more for the welfare of the republic than for the dominance of any political party, so that the prophetic utterance of the immortal Lincoln shall not be dashed to pieces in our faces as so much pottery, when he said, "This nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the peo ple, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
