claiming, "My men, this is about as
good a place to die as any other on
the whole tield.o At Baton Rouge,
when he was stricken down he still
cheered his men and rallied them to
the charge.
But brave and chivalrous as he
was, as a soldier, it was his civil
government of Louisiana that
brought out all his powers, and it is
this on which his fame will mainly
rest. He was deeply impressed
with the responsibility of his trying
position. His former buoyaacy and
cheerfulness of spirit gave way to a
settled seriousness, amounting al
most to gloom. He set to work vi
gorously to repair all the waste
places around him. He organized
the military and equipped his
troops. He provided for the help
less who remained at home. He
distributed food and medicine and
clothing to those VINO needed them.
He published readers and spelling
books for the education of the chill
dren. He made his boast that he
would put a pair of cotton cards in.
to the hands Of every woman in the
State, that they might be clothed
by their own hands in contempt of
Federal blockades and embargoes.
So faithfully and earnestly did he
perform his duties in the last days
of the Confederacy that the General
Assembly virtually turned over to
him the State government as per
petual dictator, with the simple in
junction of the Roman Senate to
the Roman consul, to stake care
that the commonwealth should suf-
fer no HARM" And this man, with
almost unlimited authority, and
with the handling of all the reve-
nues of the State, left his chair,
when the final collapse came, with
out sufficient means to take him to
his chosen asylum in a distant land.
Well may we place his monumen-
tai where it shall serve as con-
stant reminder of services so great
and virtues SO eminent. He has
thus found his final resting place in
this spot, redolent of his presence
and suggestive Of his fame. This
hall has resounded with the echoes
of his eloquence in the civil service
of the State. These grounds were
the objects of his tender care and
of his refined taste. The tender
twigs which have grown into this
beautiful grove were planted and
trained by his careful hand. He
planted laurel from which might
have been woven a wreath to adorn
his brow as a token of his civic tri-
umphs. He planted an oak which
might have furnished a crown as a
reward for his victories on the field.
He planted no cypress tree, the en-
blem Of death no weeping willow,
the emblem of tears. In those hal
cyon days, within his beloved Cir
Gle, there was no death. In those
happy days, within his cheerful cir
Gle, there were no tears. But now
that he is to be laid away to rest in
this beautiful spot, consecrated by
his nrasencn and made sacra1 h1,

$1,000 for the removal Of the Allen
monument from New Orleans to
Baton Rouge came up in the House
Judge seay delivered the following
eulogy on the late Governor Henry
W. Allen:
AS one of the few members of
this House, Mr.. Speaker, who en-
'joyed the personal friendship of
Henry Watkins Allen | deem it
appropriate to offer few remarks
on an occasion so interesting as this.
The object Of this bill is to To-
cate final resting place for the re-
mains of one Of Louisiana's most H.
lustrious sons, in the spot which is
the most appropriate for them. 1t
was in this vicinity he formed his
earliest and most enduring friend
ships. In this building he render
ed his first service to the State
Almost In sight is the battlefield
on which he poured out his blood
so copiously in defense of his peo-
pie and received those wounds
which transferred him from the field
to station which he was destined
to so eminently adom. When his
body was brought flom the distant
land in which his life was ended, it
was deposited in a New Orleans
cemetery, since Baton Rouge hav-
ing ceased to be the capital, the fit
ness of his burial here was not so
apparent. But now that the gov
ornment has been restored to its
former seat, the appropriateness of
the removal is admitted, and those
who have so tenderly watched over
his tomb for SO many years now
cheerfully surrender their sacred
trust. There may be something of
superstition in the tender care we
bestow on the spot which holds the
ashes ofthose we love and honor
But the sentiment is, we'll nigh uni
versal. 1t is entwincd in all relig-
ions and blended with all mytholo-
gies. If it serves no other purpose
it at least continually brings to our
mind the virtues Of those who have
gone before us, even though we
know their bodies have mingled
with the dust. 1t is fitting that the
people of Louisiana should honor
the memory of this, her favorite son.
He labored earnestly to promote
her welfare and wore out his life in
his efforts to serve his people
Those of us who knew him in early
years, though we appreciated his
many noble qualities, yet we had
not then risen to a due conception
Of that greatness which opportunity
was to so fully develop. When first
elected to this House he at once
took rank as a leading and infuen-
tial member. But it was the late
disastrous war which more fully de-
veloped his rare powers and dis
played them in their brightest
light. His devotion to the South
ern cause amounted almost to IA
naticism. His courage in the bat
tlefeld arose to sublimity. Let his
men who survive the bloody con-
test recall it to memory. At Shi-
lob, in the hottest Of the fight,

READERS of Harpers Weekly
since the Republicans nomination
are becoming satisfied that if the
heart Of Mast is in his works, there
must be something wrong with his
head. Heretofore he has been al
ways bright, but now one of the
leading traits manifested in his
work is stupidity. A recent Blaine
cartoon represents Reid of the Tai
b'use pinning shirt upside down on
Mr.. Blaine, but on a bet made, not
one of five men could tell what the
picture meant. Mast has lost his
kismet.- Exchange.
"THE proof of the pudding is
in the eating," so says the old
adage, and SO the proof Of the val
ne of a medicine is the opinion Of
those who have used it. Thos.
Bass, ST., Steelville, says, IL have :.
used P,ickly Ash Bitters in my
family for 2 years for ailments Of
the kidneys, liver and bowels, and
find there is no remedy equal to
it,"

Mr. Harnar ON Blaine.

The charge having been made that the
course of Hsrper's Weekly in this campaign
was dictated by spite against Mr.. Blaine
because he declined the eager offer Of the
firm of Harper & Brothers to publish his
book, Mr. Joseph W. Harper, Jr,. writes
that for more than five years Harper
Weekly has been on record in its opposition
10 Mr. Blaine as q candidate for the Presi-
dency. and any business relations with him
could not have affected the course of the
paper, He saws; Its proprietors would
have been false to the trust which they have
Inherited and regardless of the highest obi
cations of journalism they would have been
blind to the signs of the times. Indifferent
to the teachings of their own journal, and
disloyal to the editor who has been so long
associated with them, had they allowed the
Weekly to advocate. Mr.. Blaine's
nomination or to support his can
dieacy." In conclusion Mr.. Harper
refers to Mr.. Blaine's want of integrity, and
says: His indecent use of official position
to secure personal pecunisry advantages
was disclosed in bis own printed letters to
Mr.. Fisher, and is therefore authoratiyely
and eonelusiyely established. This indie
cency is shamefGlly upheld by certain poll
ticians who boast of its business smartness,
and in the familiar slang Of the Tweed ring
ask, What are you going to do about itY
II is reluctantly condoned BY larger class,
who try to beliye in party supremacy at any
price-even at the cost Of national degrade
tion. But that this official indecency is
condemned by the largest class of our coun.
trymen. believe, will be fully demonstrated
in the November election. And this largest
class are the quiet, thoughtful voters, who
are not professed, politicians, who love OFF,
cisl decency and cleanliness. and who de-
spise charlatsnry,"

the Know-Nothlug candidate ran in oPposl-
ton to Democrat and Republican and car
ried the State of Maryland no absolutely
distinct third party candidate has appeared
with such chances Of strong backing. The

An APPEAL FOR SOAP"

The grand old party magnates are IN
deep concern, and estimating that the cohe-
sion of plumber is the only source by which
they may rely TO reach even the semblanee
of success every nerve is being strained to
bring the struggling forces into battle array.
From PENNSYLVANIA comes a frantic appeal
for money aid. THOs. V. COOPER, chair
man of the Republican State Committee,
has addressed circular letter to all the
employees in the Government departments
At Washington appointed from PennsyE
vsnia, stating thai his committee rs con-
PEELED to call on all friends of the cause
whose interest or inclination it is to give
for the funds necessary to sustain the party
in its efforts in the Presidential campaign.
Mr.. COOPER is very well aware that his
call for money, is, in spirit and in letter a
violation of the civil service laws OF which
Republicans pretend to be so fond. His re-
quest is put in the form of demand-he
is compelled to call upon all friends OF the
cause whose interests or inclination it is to
give, 6c"-in plain Saxon he says to the
government clerks from Pennsylvania,
your money or your place" lit is for your
interest to pay me money, and your inch,
nation IS to protect your interest If the
clerks do not rohmtdriiy respond, oil go
their heads. This is the sincerity OF the Re-
publican civil service reEormeu. Law Is
no stumbling block when jim BLAISE's des-
perate chances need the bOlstering Of money.
Mr.. COOPER has been guilty of a fragrant
indecency in his circular to the PennsylVa-
MIA clerks. But what Of it. Is it not for
the salvation of the grand old party?
