NEWS AND NOTES.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Monday resumed its hearing ct
Washington in the matter of export
rates and the methods adopted by trunk
lines in computing them. Representatives
of many roads were examined. The
gist of the evidence was that, with few
exceptions, the inland published rates
had not for some months been maintain
ed. Some of the roads had made an eff
fort to maintain them, and in conse-
quence had Practically lost their expor
business.
The Samoan episode has not helped
England in the estimation Of her gTea
Pacific colonies. The firmness and Dig
nifty with which our Government ha
acted in the latter stages of the contro
versy is pretty sure to have an appreci
able effect in bringing the people o
British Australasia into still closer sym
patty and friendship with the United
States.
The Supreme Court Ct Minnesota ha
decided that the Railroad Commission
of that State has no authority to prescrlb,
rates for transportation by common car
riers between two points in the Stat
over route extending across a neigh
boring State. Such power is vested ex
clusively in Congress.
We have now a President who will
not go fishing on MemoTlal-DIy, and
Secretary of War who will not plan h
return the confederate flags,

SOLDIERS HOMES,

Make beautiful the grounds,
Make soft the beds,
For here our heroes will repose,
Here rest their wetry heads.
Give homes to these brave men,
Give them good fare
The country's hardshlps they endured,
Let them it's comforts share.
Some for life were crippled
Where mlssels fell,
But brAvely they bore up with wounds
Amid the shrieking shell.
They, hard-won battles fought,
And saved the nation
Bravely each soldier bore his part,
And filed his station.
Hear "Sumpter's" booming guns
Their prowess tell
Brave Anderson resists the storm,
And bears the fires ofhell
"Manassa," the first field
That owned the fray,
Much precious blood and treasute lost
1t was fearful day.
On "Corinth's" bloody field,
The foemen fled
Madly flashed the murderous steel
Where lay the untombed dead
ON "Marye's" blood.stained Heights"
Their swords they drew,
And the gloomy evidences" too,
Their stubborn valor knew.
"vicksburg" was gained through Grant ,
His warriors brave,
Held with stern and terrib lie grip,
Whatever field they'd save.
Atlanta" city famed,
Felt Sherman's force
Boldly he marched along the sea,
Nothing could stay his course.
Winchester" felt route /!
Brave men retreat
When suddenly is heard afar,
The sound of flying feet.
OneT1utu bteeu hi1hIllet
Outspeeds the night
The gallant rider halls the men,
And leads them back to fight.
The tide Of war was turned
Sheridan's form
Gave fearless courage to his men
They took the field by storm.
Then Gettysburg" was gained
In hardest strife
Twas the bloodiest battle fought,
And cost many life.
soon "Appo nattox" knew
The bootless strife,
And so the chieftains closed the war
And stopped the loss of life.
The soldiers, Drowned and SCARED,
"Of duty" strayed,
And with victory's laurels sought
Their homes in town and glade.
How terrible is war
Freedom, how swe et !
And slavery's changing chain is broke
1t falls from shackled feet,
Soldiers, mans rights secured,
For man they bled
oh let the nation for them care,
And blessings on them shed.
Make beautiful their homes,
Give honor due
And softly may Deaths angel come
To those who wear the blue.
Give gratitude to those
Who bear a scar
Let foreign Nations tell to all,
How kind Republics are.
And soon may Nations learn
To live in peace
And may all fratricidal wars,
Now and forever cease.
