A Hero’sIBirthday.
The fact that Gen. Grant’s birthday
was more generally observed than for
some/years past speaks well for the
good feeling and patriotic sentiment of
the country. No people can afford to
forget their great men, their soldiers,
heroes, and liberators. Such forget-
fulness means decadence and degrada-
tion, says the Washington Post.
As a matter of- fact Gen. Grant’s
birthday should be set apart by nation—
al legislation as an occasion to be gen-
erally celebrated. There is nothing in
his military history that we can recall
without gratitude and. pride. ,He was a
patriot as well as a commander. His
motives were as pure as his deeds were
splendid: 'His genius stood between
the Union and the perils that beset it ;
' his valor pointed the way to our com-
mon Safety; his strength and patience
and devotion attuned the army to a
splendid heroism, his inagnanimity in
victory sealed the Nation’s ' peace.
Those who followed him, the descend:
ants of his soldiers, the millions who
looked on andthrilled at the brilliant
procession of" his achievements, the
' magnficent Unionahe did so much to
rescue and perpetuate-all these must
It is an
omen of good when his anniversary ap-
peals to 'freemen.- It is a sign that cour-
age, patridtism, self-sacrafice, high
character, and noble purpose still com-
mand the love'and admiration of maTn-
kind. . .
Grants birthday should be added to
the catalogue of the days we celebrate.
It was the birthday of the Union’s sav-
.ior.
Meand Willie.
Years and years ago some stern and
inflexible cld' Roman took his stylus
and wrote thoSe burning Words “nil
dcsperandum.” The spirit of that ut-
l ‘térance nerved the great Cato to crack
his daily chestnut in the Roman Sen-
ate. Caesar with that motto pasted in
his helmet flung himself and his legions
cyclone-like into Gaul. Later, no
doubt, these words were constantly in
the—"mind of Peter the Hermit, who
roused all Europe by his terrible earn-
estness to make that combined move.
‘ ment of the nations called the Cru-
sades, which awoke Europe from her
stagnation, and civilization from her
Slumber. “Never deSpair ” were words
which animated the great Christopher
and sustained him under every repulse.
Instances might be multiplied where a
thorough-going belief in this motto
has wrought great results. Right here
in N orwal-k we have an instance, not
one perhaps‘ at which we can point with
the finger of pride, but one which will
serve for an example. We refer to the
Tuhey family. Tuhey pare has grown
gray and worn out innumerable patent
leather shoes in chasing county com-
missioners in order to secure a license,
but his importunities have ever been in
vain. At last, however, there is a li-
' cense in the family, and while the name
of “John ” is not written in- the county
commissioners’ diploma, ‘ ‘_ William ”
is. We cannot congratulate Mr. Tuhey
upon the result, however much we may
envy his tireless zeal in a bad cause.
Tuhey has sailed over hard seas, he
has been “pinched” by a relentless
prosecuting agent, and hashad occa-
sion to weep as his “merchandise”
meandere-d scwer-ward.I It looks now,
however, as if his trials werewell over
and that the Franklin avenue drug-
store and its tribulations Would be a
thing of the past. Instead of the glass,
jirs labeled"‘sp. fru.” “vin. gall._,”
etc, we shalI see bottles labeled
Torchlight Whiskey, N. E. Rum, Cy-
clone Brandy, etc., while the portrait
of the Bock Beergoat will hang in the
front window .“ asidle as a‘painted Ship -
upon apainted. ocean.” _ . .
As for the County co’mmissiOners
who granted this license, we hardly
know what to say ; they were aware of
the past career of Tuhey perc and'they
had no reason to believe that thead-
ministration of Tuhey file would be
any better.‘ Possibly the 3’;cliairman of
the board, whose capacity to grasp
‘S'every office within his reach", and sighII
for those beyond it, has libee'n' so clear-
ly demonstrated, may have-had a little
: sympathy for a member of a craft of
which he is now, we believe, “a non-
afiiliat‘ed” member. At any ratethe
Iboard granteda license when it was
obvious togevery one" that .William'

is run "‘ wide-open.”~ on Sundays or is
burglar-proof safe. we hardly think
‘thejpublicwill ‘indorse this action of
'g the Countycommissioners, who in this
case have reversed several well consid-
: fered decisions of their, predecessors.
.If-‘this' is a sampleof ,what is being
done elsewhere inthe county it isapI-
parent that licenses'can be .had for the
asking, and that past records and re—
mons‘trancés count for nothing, How-
ever, theicommissioners‘ have ' earned
the gratitude of aleetaphysicians by
so clearly establishing a well-defined
line between tweedle-dum and tweedle-
dee. IA'few years from now when Mr.
Tuhey rolls in wealth and adopts arm-
orial. bearings, we feel Certain that
whatever may be the design the motto
will Surely be “ nil despcrcmdwn.”
