OUR NATIONS DEAD.

For the HERALD.
0 We fond hearts, who sacred keep
The memory dear Of those who sleep,
On each returning memorial day,
Think We of those who rest so far away.
Think We of those who died our land to save,
And died alone to fill nameess grave;
Nameless till Gabriel's trump shall blow
And Earth give up all hidden things below.
Think We of those who rest by lonely shore
Where only waves repeat their low dirge DER,
Or of those who rest where in battle they fe II
With no traces left their story to tell
But where e'er the place of those noble dead
prayer for them breathe in their lonely bed /;
And round the marble shaft more fowerets
wreathe,
And token of love with them heas.felt breathe.
And hushed be the spirit of JOY and of mirth,
As We this duty perform most sacred of earth ;
And let your hearts count all the dreadful cost,
And name each hero tho their graves be lost.

How About n President in the Peni-
tentiaryf

The Tammany Democrats and the Penn
sylvania Democrats and some other Demo-
crats--or politicians doing business under
the Democratic name and sign-maintain
that Mr.. HAYES was indicted into the Office
OF President by fraudulent conspiracy;
that all the parties to that conspiracy
should be prosecuted and punished; but
that under no circumstances should any
attack be made on the validity OF Mr.
HAYES title to the Presidency
Now those who think Mr.. HAYES should
be ousted from his Office propose TO Dust
him on proof of his completely in the frauds
which put him in. Tammany says, NO,
don't Dust him; his title to his Office is sa-
cred. Punish all concerned In the frauds -
including HAYES himself, OF course. The
penitentiary is the proper place for punish
ment So, in brief, the logical result Of
Tammany's propositions, taking them all
together, would be that we should have
President, not in the White House. but in
the penitentiaryl
SO much for Tammany and its kindred
believers in the sanctity of fraud consum-
mated

Six Signal Service Cities in the Middle
of the Atlantic.

How naturally the United States Medical
Association at its recent anniversary meet
ing in Buffalo in its hunger for knowl-
edge respecting ozone turned 60 the
Chief Signal Officer Twas fine in
stnct, like that which opens the mouth
OF the young robin 10 the coming of
the old birds, that sent these doctors to
the Signal Service for service wholly UNI
lawful for it TO perform. They were made
to feel for moment, bya mannuvring pro-
fessor Of something in the Buffalo Medical
College, that it is exceedingly important 10
know how much ozone there is in the at
mospherc Of the United States of America
at any and all times. No doctor in the con-
vention being willing to risk the imputation
of ignorance about ozone, motion easily
prevailed that the Chief Signal Officer be re-
quested to institute scientific observations
to determine daily at all the signal stations
in the country how much oxygen in an ac-
tive or highly negative state there is in the
atmosphere which Americans breathe That
is what ozone means.
Gen. MYER has just as much right to
make observations Of ozone as he has to
collect the internal revenue. But he will do
it, He needs no law for it. He needs no
appropriation for it. There Is no law for
the existence Of his bureau There is no
sufficient authority for his own existence
But he does exist, and has n little ndepen-
dent army Of his own, and n line OF tele-
graph running all around the United States
and rapidly constructing to every military
post, and one of the biggest news agencies
in the world. I'm vain does Gen. HANCOCK,
In his celebrated letter on the roorganiza-
ton Of the army, attempt to extingush the
Chief Signal Officer with an immense sniff
81 contempt. In vain does he fling on him
deadly doubt whether hebelongs to the stan
oftho army orbclongs to tho army at all. In
vain does he sncrr at MYERS unsoldicrly
work Of publishing every day what sort of
weather folks may expect. In vain declare
that, nasmuch as instruction in signal
duty has for years boon given at all the
military posts there is no need of MYER,
and that he and his should bc abolished.
MYER - very obstinate fact. Gen.
HANcocK has need 10 cultivate patience in
regard to MNEH For it is this impctuous
commanders fate To see Gen MYER acting
rs n chcmists assistant To the sound of
drum and trumpet, and sending soldiers in

all the doctors in the nation with the morn

The Election in California.

Tho results OF the election held last week
In California for delegates TO a Constitu-
tlonal Convention seem to have startled a
good many people. There is matter enough
no doubt, for surprise In the fact that rail-
road kings and stock gamblers who have so
long held that state under their thumb
should have suddenly received 80 rude a
shock Whether there Is any ground for
alarm depends ON the use which the labor
party means 10 make Of its opportunity.
Sut aside from the social bearings of this
political revolution, about which we shall
know more by and by there are features in
1t which deserve particular attention.
On the face Of it such AN explosion implies
huge accumulation Of suffering aud bitter
oess. We could not easily ONerstate the
''rovocatlon for the now movement in Cali
fornia politics. There is n kind Of rctribu-
tive justice in IT, It is safe To- say that no
where In tho Western world has the poor
man been SO shamelessly and so ruthlcssly
