DECORATION DAY.

Tread at Chehalis, May 30, 1sskI
On the cotton fields of Sunland.
By rivers that grandly sweep,
There fought our nations hero-band.
And there brave thousands slesn
In dismal haunts they languished
For a cause all just and true;
And stubborn foe they vauquishsd,
Our sturdy boys in blue.
How loyal hearts were driven
To one sublime desire,
When our flag fell low and riven
BY the shot from Sumters fire!
From homes of peace and gladness
They marched with unfaltering trusts
They bore midst carnaged sadness
That emblem from the dust.
With bayonet point to bsyonet.
The North and the south arrayed-
Each stood in defiant srmor
For wars deep crimsoned trade.
Each fought by his own loved colors
And prayed to One Spirit above;
They fought as foes, but as brothers
They are clasped in earth's deep love.
In vain we wait their returning
From marches weary ana long,
We wait, and give with our yearning
Our Offering OF flowers and song.
The wild winds moan where they mouldsr,
Far from the Preside band
How bright is the crown of the soldier
Who dies for his native landl
Then hallow the spot where repose
Our heroes--O, sweet be their sleep;
And tenderly scatter bright roses
With the lingering comrades who weep.
And one by one they are falling,
Those veterans tried and true;
It's not the war-cry calling
The remnant who wore the blue.
The foe that battles all conquests
Still sweeps the ranks Of the brave;
But our boys will never be vanquIshed
Till they fill patriots grave.
The flag they rescued from danger,
The Union they saved in her might,
VIII guard our heroes forever
In glory's unquenchable light.

WHY HEIsA THIRD PARTY MAN.

It is related by Washington
correspondent of the st. Louis Re-
public that the reason why "Metho-
dist" Jim Davis is now shining light
in the third party move and soured
on the democracy is that under the
Cleveland administration he was ap-
pointed to an Indian agency. The
commissioner of Indian affairs tele-
graphed him to remain at home IN
til further orders, but he sold out
his country newspaper and his home
and started for Northern Utah,
where the reservation of the Indians
he was assigned to act as agent of
the United States for was located.
Evidently the Indians heard that
Jim was coming, and they took to
the woods. When Jim reached the
reservation there was nothing there
but ruins. The Indians were on the
warpath; they had run off the old
agent and the agency employees, de-
stroyed the buildings and confscated
all the Government property in
sight. They have not returned to
that particular reservation as yet,
and it is believed that they are
merged in some other tribe, or at
least slowed away on some other re
servation.

THE ENUAMPA1ENT,

The Austin Statesman of Wednes-
dsy was still calling Justify for the
$4,000, though it was said that it
must be forthcoming Tuesday to
secure the location of the permanent
encampmert there, but it seems that
it did not come up so easy. It's
dollars to dimes that next time we
hear from Austin she will not have
raised the requisite amount. 1t is
doubtful if she will raise it, though
she pledged to doit.
The following special from Waco
to the Houston Post concerning the
state encampment shows that all OF
the committee do not favor Austin:
"Colonel George B. Gurley, one OF
the members of the commission to
select a permanent State encamp-
ment, has wired the chairman of the
committee entering protest against
decision awarding the location to
Austin. He bases his protest on
reasons given at the last meeting of
the commission, which reasons are
not made public. Austin was al
lowed till Tuesday to raise the bon
us offered. It is said perfect title
to the site they offer cannot be
given. Waco made handsome Of
fer and the actions of the committee
in which they have ignored the high
est bid and given the award to an
imperfect bid is much criticised here
and cannot be understood.
Austin in her eagerness to secure
the encampment seems to have bit
off more than she can chew.

THE THIRD PARTY SERENE.

Ben Terrell, the national lecturer
of the Farmers alliance, who is
making a tour of South Carolina
when asked his opinion of the
Third party move by a New York
Herald correspondent said: CAS-
an alliance man, 1 tell you we are
not to have anything to do with it.
1t is against our constitution to
NEEDLE with any party whatever.
Politics is debarred; but don't I'M
derstand me to say the individual
members can't do as they please"
He then as an ordinary citizen
said that the strength of the third
party depended on conditions. If
either of the two old parties came
out with platform granting the de-
mands made by the third party ad-
vocates, the third party would not
develop very great strength; other
wise it is destined to gain strength
as long as it lasts.
The western states are strong for
it. Kansas, both the Dakotas, Col
orado and Nebraska are all certain
to go solid for it. If the demands
for financial reforms are not granted
tie movement will hit like cyclone.
I'm a native Texan" he added,
''and always voted the democratic
ticket, but I see men everywhere
who will bolt unless reform is
granted, and I travel from Dakota
to Florida. The party which at
tempts to confne the campaign of
1892 to the discussion of certain
subject will find it is impossible,
The people have the devil in their
necks for financial reform, and you
can no more stop them than turn
the direction of water flowing in a
river. The money question is
obliged to come in"

THE BACCARAT TRIAL.

The Prince of Wales, as shown by
the evidence in the baccarat trial, is
one of the worst gamblers in Eu-
rope. Lady Brooke islands in" with
him.
The famous trial has at last ended
and resulted in the conviction of
Col. VIM. Gordon Cummings, mayor
and lieutenant colonel of the SCOTS
Fuliseer Guards, and a mem
Der of number of promi-
nent clubs. He was convicted
of the charge of swindling at the
game of baccarat, and will lose his
place i'll the army and be expelled
from the clubs. The verdict was
received with Kisses.
Baccarat is not played much in
America, but is favorite game ID
Europe in which the dealer takes all
bets, each player drawing two cards
from box full, the object being to
make nine, nineteen or Twenty-Five.
If over the number is made the
dealer wins, or if he comes nearer
the given numbers than the players
he wins, or vice versa. If the first
two cards are not satisfactorily near
enough to the given numbers the
player can draw two more cards,
but if his spots" then count up
more than the highest number the
PLAYER looses.

NAYAsOTAmINI IT"

The Navasota Tablet says: 1.-THE
BRENNAN BANNER and Victoria Ad-
vocate are whooping up an air line
railroad which is intended to take
in Refugio, Victoria, Columbus,
Brennan, Madisonville, Palestine
and Tyler. They utterly ignore
Navasota, and furthermore seem in
dead earnest about it. Such an air
line would run about five miles west
of Navasota, and it is not likely that
a railroad town SO important would
be given the $50 by" Besides, it
will cost about as much to bridge
the Navasota and Old rivers as to
make the slight curve to reach here,
taking into consideration also that
they could avoid having so many
miles of track subject to overflow.
Thus it appears, but we need not be
too confident. 1t might cost US
dearly. If we fold our hands and
wait for something to turn up, the
turn may prove disastrous. How
ever, our business men are not built
that way. When next our respected
contemporaries preach about this
railroad, they will please put Nava-
sofa in the text. We propose to be
Gin it"-but not in the soup so to
speak.
The BANNER is clad to include
Navasota in the text of the preach
ing about this road, and count on it
doing its part towards bringing it
this way. We will need the CO.
operation of every town and city along
the line and the esteemed Tablet
can count on the BANNsR hereafter
including Nayasota as one Of the
cities cooperating with US for the
purpose of bringing this road over
the proposed route.

AUSTIN WINS.

After an entire weeks deliberation
of the locating committee for the
permanent encampment of the State
militia, it was announced in Sundays
paper that the committee had de-
cided in favor of the encampment
this year being held at Arkansas
Harbor, and that the permanent To-
cation would be at Austin. Waco
and Brennan both outbid the
capital city, but Austin easily won,
it having been known here for
several days that Brennan was not
in it.
The location of the permanent en-
campment at Austin is perhaps the
best place that could have been Sc
lected for several reasons, but from
expressions heard from the State
militia we are led to the conclusion
that to them it was the most undesir-
able place of any in the Stationary
remembering the poor treatment
received at a former encampment
there, but Austin knowing that it is
to be permanent there now will per-
haps make arrangements to properly
entertain the crowds that go to the
State encampments, and hoping to
swell the attendance from year to
year, will treat them better than she
did before.
Brennan did all she could to Sc
cure the location of the encampment
here, and though she failed, her eff
forts were such as to be commended
by outsiders watching the contest
and many were the encomiums of
praise she received for the enterprise
displayed in her efforts for the prize,
but being defeated she is magnan-
imous enough to extend to her sue
cessful rival her hearty congratula-
tons, and shed sympathetic tear
with Waco.
BRENNAN will send the crack COM
pany to the encampment to bring
away whatever prizes are offered.
