None of the great battlefields of the civil War-not even that of Gettysburg —-is more worthy of preservation than that included in the Chickamauga Mili- tary Park, whose ‘fnational dedica- tion” occurred upon the anniversary of the battle of Chickamauga. This was one of the bravest and bloodiest battles in which Americans were pitted against Americans, and it is one which the sur- vivors on either side can recall with honor. Though victory rested; for a time with the Confederates, the subse- quent battle on Missionary Ridge, whose salient points are also included in the park, turned their victory to de- feat, and marked the course of the tide that had turned at Gettysburg. The whole campaign about Chatta~ nooga was, in some of its features, spectacular. It was made so both by the heroism of the contending armies and by the extraordinary character of the landscape, which would render this region an object of interest in itself even without its romantic associations. The idea of its preservation as a nation- al park is thus a-pecuiiarly happy one. While the land remains substantially as it was in 1863, roads have been con- structcd through it making all the most famous points accessible, and the positions of the contending forces both on the field of Chickamauga, and on Lookout Mountain, have been marked by monuments. The act of Congress under which this national dedication was made, deprives i: ui any poss1ble taint of sectionalism. Veterans of both armies took part in the ceremonies and both armies, will have their monuments there. The time has come when We can look back on these stirring events, not as atriumph of one part of our people over‘the other, but as a triumph of American valor and deVotion out of which come a united Na- tion stronger and greater thanlbefore. The series of great battles fought thirty—two years ago, occurred when be h the Confederate and the Union armies at the West were at the top of their prowess. Gettysburg and Chat- tanooga fairly represent their highest level of efficiency. The two great battles around Chatta- nooga. with the subsidiary ones, have rightfully been selected as in typical ex- hibit of the fighting qualities of the Western armies when at their best, just as Gettysburg has been chosen for the same purpose as the site of the battle park at the East. Both Union and Confederate survivors of those great fields, are content to let them go into history as examples of what each could do and dare. ' In this connection it would be unjust to history and to an able but modest Washington neWSpaper correspondent, Gen. H. V. Boynton, not to record the fact that to him, more than to any other man. is due this happy, patriotic. con- summation. Some years ago he conceived the idea of making a National Park of this battle-field. He worked arduously to secure the necessary Congressional legislation. So that this blood-stained field and all that it shall become as a Military Park, is a monument to Gen. Boynton’s patriotic efforts, and when he shall be called hence,(and long may it be,) his own state of Ohio, which be So honorably served in the field through- out the war, with the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, should erect a grateful tablet to his worthy memory upon this park. l‘he Town and City Accounts. We believe, and have believed, for a long time, that there was need for im- provement in the manner of disbursing town funds and keeping an account of the same. Taxes come none too easy, and when we consider the enormous amount of money disbursed by the town fathers, good business management would dictate better methods than , are now practiced. In the city’s financial matters, we have some system and ac- curacy. Each department has its dis- tinct fund, and the public have some intelligent and satisfactory idea as to what is being spent. Each bill is receipted for, three times, in most cases, the bills are filed away and the name of the payee and the amount, is permanently recorded in tha Council proceedings. The city system of book-keeping is simple, yet complete and accurate. The city bills are passed upon at stated intervals and the proceedings are publicly given in the daily press. In town matters, bills are paid out any time; there is no journal of proceedings; orders are signed in blank, and it is not for the want of opportunity, but only because our selectmen have been honest that the town has not been plundered. Of course, we will no doubt again be ac- cused of having an animus, but we be- lieve that animus or no animus, there is not only room, but a general, popular demand, for better business methods in the disbursement of the town’s cash. The Town of Nor walk disbiirses over $100,000 per annum, and this money is drawn from our hard-pressed tax pay-i ers and from license fees,and surely this vast sum of money does not leap joy- ously from the pockets of those who pay it. We do not demand the impos-' sible, but we do demand in the public interest, clearness and accuracy, and we do think that all the financial pro- ceedings of the selectmen, should be as formal and as public as those of the it y council. We do not expect that our words will avail much with the pres- ent board because it is wedded toand Seems to prefer, the present fossilized method, and we must stand it to the end of its term. We hope, however, that our town will adopt either voluntarily,or by a town vote, or better still, by legisla- tion enactment, some system of specific apprbpriation and clear distinct records thereof, similiar to that of the city and that the sclectmen will furnish duly con- sidered estimates of what will be need- ed, and have stated times to meet and pass upon all bills and claims present e1. These suggestions are not captions, unkind or unreasonable, and no town official ought to object to methods that are straightforward and business-like and in the interest of the people who elect them. Lawyers Buy Real Estate. Attorneys John J. Walsh and Alfred E. Austin, have purchased from Horace E. Dann, what is known as the Carr property, located on the road to Greg- ory’s Poxnt. The deed was recorded yesterday afternoon. It is not known just what the purchasers propose doing with the property, but being lawyers and presumably wise, they will not start a summer resort in opposition to Land- lord O’Sullivau. The property is valu~ able and cut up into building sites would meet with a ready and profitable sale. lnformation Wanted. Information is wanted concerning the present address of the heirs of William Edwards, brother of Miles S. Edwards, grand-nephew of Robert Ed- wards,and it will be greatly appreciated. Recent developments in a long contest- ed casein New York have made it very important to locate the living heirs at once. William Edwards is supposed to have settled somewhere in Connecticut about 1835 or 1840. Information sent to A. D. Powers, Owensboro, Kentucky, will be appreciated. Fire in Long Ridge. The fine residence owned by Harry G. Morrell of Long Ridge, occupied for several years by the late David John- son, was entirely destroyed by fire Monday. A spark from the chimney set fire to the roof and before they were discovered the flames had gained such headway that it was impossible to sub- due lhem. Nearly all the furniture, a good share of the clothing and a sum of money were consumed. The Time Extended. The Selectmen have extended the time for receiving bids for the con- struction of a tellord road, on the turn- pike, to Sam ‘6 . September 28th. unat- _. .._. .
