front. The cry was: ION to Richmond"
but before they got to that objective
point many poor fellow fell to rise no
more. Lips were sealed in sudden
death and voices stilled which had but
recently been singing:
Just before the battle, mother,
/ am thinking, dear, Of you,
While upon the field we're marching,
With the enemy in view.
Farewell, mother, you may never
Press me TO your heart again;
But oh, you'll not forget me, mother,
If I'm numbered with the slain
Of them, rather than Of all others
loved and lost in this generation, it
may most truly be said that '.they are
gone but not forgotten" Their memo
ries are ever green in the hearts OF
home. They are the charter members Of
the Grand Army above; and, if there is
the possibility of an aristocracy in
Heaven, those dear dead boys in blue
have seats nearest the Great White
Throne, where their royal rank can
best be recognized by all.
There is a grand army post here
from Illinois, and they have splendid
octette; not of cultured voices, but of
natural singers. They are ali gray
boards now; and one of them Is sight
less, while another wears an empty
sleeve. But how they can sing the old
war songs, and how they do draw
crowds around their headquarters.
They have just been moistening tho
eyes of two score listeners, singing a
song, whose last verse was this:
We've been fighting to-day on the old camp
ground,
Many are lying near.
Some are dead, and some are dying,
Many are in tears
Many are the hearts that ere weary to-night
Wishing for the war to cease.
Many are the hearts looking for the right
To see the dawn of peace.
Tentfng tonight: tcnting tonight; tenting on
the old camp grounds"
/ am not soft-hearted, nor sentiment
tai: but when those old soldiers of the
legion sang that song, must confess
to the shedding of a few unbidden
tears. couldn't help thinking of dear
old Bell1nap; and of Mcpherson; and
Lyle. Poor boys; dear hearts; how
they used to warm towards the boys
who are still here, singing the old
songs they used to sing, in chorus sweet
and clear. Who can be ashamed Of
such tears?
Do you remember the old flies and
drums: those barrel drums, nearly two
feet long? l used to try to carry one of
them and play upon it, while Fifer Kill

my spirits rose fully as rapidly as they

Away ] went up the lake TO see
how long the strip of smooth ice was,

demons after me. They couldn't do

and just as they would think they

the most wildly remem bered, and was
at the time the most exciting of all the
many experiences which have occurred
to me during long life.
II was a boy at the time and we
lived in northern Minnesota near the
crossroads village of Rockford. Lake
Tonka was between our home and the
village and we had little boat which
we kept pulled up among the bushes,
and when we were in hurry to get to
town or were walking, it gave us quite
a cutoff. During the winter when we
could find clear place on the thick ice.
we children used to have great times
skating, taking turn about, however.
as there was only one pair of skates to
the crowd.
1.-THE proudest day of my life, think,
was when had saved up enough money
TO buy new pair of bright, beautiful
skates. 1t was in the winter of 1850 or
1851, and was fifteen-year-old boy.
We had made great use of the one pair
of skates in the family, and while I
was not as skillful nor as artistic as
some of the experts of to-day, perhaps,
it seemed to me that have never seen
anyone who could skate any faster
than ! could at the time l mention.
1T was one Saturday night remem-
Der when ] got ready to start home,
and in order to get good and warm
sat down behind the stove in the little
country store to rest awhile. OF course
dropped off to sleep. and Of course,
also, didn't wake up till they got
ready to close up the store for the
night, and found me lying there, which
was nearly midnight They tried to in
duce me to wait till morning as the
wolves were quite numerous, but boy
like, | secuted the idea, and said no
wolf on earth could catch me on my
skates. And so I'started homeward.
THE lake had no snow on it, and
when got my skates on, it seemed as
II fairly few over the ice. There

The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1892-01-02

The Sims gang of outlaws of Ok
lahama having been captured by the
sheriff, were taken from the officer
and hanged by mob last Satur-
day. Their women were turned
loose. 1t is probable that the gang
deserved their fate; but there was
no justification for their being taken
from the officer to be punished by
a crowd of excited fools who, by
their unlawful and murderous act,
made themselves outlaws in every
true sense of that opprobrious term.
This mobbing business is becoming
altogether too frequent and if not
checked by the courts, sustained by
the better class of citizens, threat
ems to interfere seriously with the
administration of justice. Every
man having a family or property t
protect must deplore public law
lessness and mob rule, and if he
values peace and safety and tn.
good name of his neighborhood
must discourage such things.

silver the Worlds Salvation.

Four-fifths of the people of the
world, says the Denver Mining Elk
Journal, depends entirely upon sill.
yer as money. The British govern
ment and the German government
have repudiated silver. France
clings to it. The United States has
repudiated silver as money. Now
for any one to say that should oul
country join with France and give
full recognition to silver as against
Germany and Great Britain, with
four-fifths of the rest of the world
using no money except silver, would
put our nation ON silver basis, is
to talk like an idiot; it is to talk
like knave; it is worse. The COM
MERGE Of the world is so closely
blended the money of the world is
80 hard put upon by the business
of the world that the price of gold
and silver must, in the very nature
of things, be the same in every
country of the world. So We saw
when silver advanced from 81 cents
to 1.21 a year ago because of the
prospect that the four millions and
half per month which our Gov
eminent undertook to absorb would
bring silver to par, that the advance
was exactly the same in London
that it was in the United States !;
that just 80 soon as the telegraph
could flash the news it was at the
same advance in far-off India. And
We say that it is a perfectly plain
proposition, that if the United
States to-day were to declare for
unlimited coinage, silver would be
at par tomorrow morning, and no
power on earth could break it down.
Because with silver at par it would
be worth just as much as gold, there
would be no object except on the
part Of few interested gatAerers to
try to change the relation, and they
could not by combining all their
capital break it down one penny.
Silver has never yet been broken
down as compared with gold except
through legislation. The old law
of supply and demand has never
influenced it at all; the-two metals
were on an exact parity according
to the European standard up to the
time silver was demonetized and
because we put a little more silver
in a dollar than Europe did, our
silver was worth a small percentage
more than gold; and all we need
to have that return, is to wipe out
that legislation which caused the
two metals to draw apart in the first
place. There would not be a panic,
there would not be any silver stand
ard, there would not be any trouble,
but rather there would be such a
change in the business of the coun-
try, and in the hopes Of the people,
as would within six months amount
well-nigh to a transformation.

RUSSELL SAGE is in for it. After
hewas dynamited the San Francisco
Chronicle said he "prevaricated''
about the circumstances of the
blast. Next a crank went to his
house to give him another lift heav-
onward, and had to be elected by
Mrs. Sage. AS if these were not
evils enough for one lone Plutocrat
to bear, one of his clerks now
comes forward with a statement
that'Sage used him as breastwork
to shield himself against the effects
of the bomb, by holding said clerk
between himself and the anarchist
The clerk will sue for something
like 100000. Mr.. Sage is evidently
a small man with a big pocket-book
as ne does not even ask after the
condition of the injured clerk.

THE Salt Lake Herald has infor-

tablishing unlimited silver coinage
will be presented to President Har-
rison inside of a month. Should
this news prove true B. II. will find
himself COMPOUNDED by condition
that will upset all his presidential
calculations. He will be in the po-
sition of Bob Ingersoll's man who
would "be damned if he did, and
be damned if he didn't" IF he
signs the bill it will knock him
clean out of the race, and if he re-
fuses to sign it neither Dudley's
blocks of five nor Wanamaker's
100000 corruption fund can save
his bacon next fall. Was ever a
presidential aspirant so inextrica-
bly, involved before?

that the strongest democratic states
furnished their full quota of men
to the army, and while we have not
the figures at hand, we think it
quite within bounds to say that
Missouri furnished as many private
soldiers to the Union army as did
Kansas and Massachusetts, both,
yet the two latter were the most
pronounced republican, and the
former solidly democratic state.
Boosting is always folly, but when
the boaster has to manufacture his
tory to suit his purpose, it is foolish
to a degree.
