Address by Captain Pierce Metz at

Mr.. Chairman. Members of the G. A. r..
Ladies of the Relief Corps, and citizens
ssNcthing but fags-but simple flags;
Tattered and torn-hanging in rags
We walk beneath with careless tread,
Nor think of hosts of mighty dead
who've trod beneath in days gone by,
With burning cheek and eager eye
And bathed their folds in Hfes red toe,
And dying blessed-and blessing died."
There are 100000 of the people OF
CHS government, who to-day are paying
homage at the grave of their martyred
dead.
There is not volunteer soldier before
me, there is not volunteer soldier any
where. who would exchange his honor
able record in the service OF his country
in behalf of freedom and mankind, in
behalf OF the most free and beet govern
ment on the face of the earth, for any
money consideration. Their patriotism
is above price; it cannot be bought; it is
not merchandise for barter; it is not in
the market. I thank God there are some
things that money cannot buy and Pa
4riotism is one of them.
In yonder cemetery rest the mortal re-
mains of heroes and martyrs to the cause
OF constitutional government and human
freedom. The grass and flowers of May
grow over the graves of many Of the
fairest and purest of earth. But no

4Ombs are filter to receive the homage OF
q free people than those which contain
the bodies of the sublime spirits whose
intense patriotism destroyed the twin
monster of Slavery and Secession. So
we honor ourselves by setting apart this
day to consider the noble character, great
deeds and martyr deaths of the saviors
of the republic, and to bestow upon
their graves. SO far as we can, that tribute
of praise and love which they, living, SO
largely deserved.
But there are some deeds which arise
in their grandeur far beyond the scope OF
mortal ken. Such are the acts of patriots
when. they give their lives as willing sac
rifces for their country and humanity.
Like the mighty uplift of some tall tower
whose lofty summit is lost in light, SO
stands in the moral world the indescriba-
BILE grandeur of the martyrs death and, las
we gather about the graves of these, our
ccuntry's martyrs, we feel the thrill of an
irrepressible alteration.
Yet so far as the feebleness of human
language will permit it is our duty and
delight to celebrate and commemorate
their heroism. By so doing we are in
spired with part of that patriotic Zeal
which characterized their lives, and we
teach our children to emulate them to
the end that this, our beloved country,
shall never lack heroes to defend her in
the perils of war or statesmen to guide
her through the temptation Of peace.
When the threatening clouds of war
appeared in the Southern horizon these
heroes were boys. They stood in the
rosy light OF manhood's morning. The
future appeared before them like a long
vista of dazzling brightness. They were
The darllngs of happy homes. Many had
Just prepared themselves for trades and
professions which promised wealth and
fame. Some had just entered the sweet
dream of youthful love. Others had
stood at the altar of marriage and were
Che happy fathers of beautiful babes.
Some we're the props that supported aged
parents. Others were the sole guardians
and protectors of helpless children. All
were blessed with health, embossed in
love and empowered in peace.
They might have wrapped the mantle
Of selRshness about them and said: "Let
slavery triumph. let Secession succeed. I
viii take care of my own family. Let the
blAck man take care of his. 1 viii pro-
fect my own home. Let the government
protect itself"
The very name OF slavery is now a
stencil. but it has been made such by the
sacriaces OF these our sacred dead. It
ms once delicious perfume. The aris-
focracy took pride in it; the press advo-
Gated it; politicians praised it; lawyers
debended it and preachers pronounced it
divine. But these boys whose graves we
fo-dav decorate knew more about poll
3scs than the politician; knew more
about Law than the lawyer, and more
nboui reli ZION than the pastors Of the
church. They knew that slavery was q
korrid crime, and when that dreadful
EpupeDt came, some tore themselves from

Mothers, a. you inculcate in che minds
Of your children, true manhood and

their country. Teach them that treason

For by the loyalty and patriotism Of your
fathers you. today. enjoy the pleasure

est form of government known to this
world. The flag Of your country Is re-
spected BY every nation on earth. There
is not Q government under the sun to-day
that does not recognize the rights OF
American subjects. To be an American
is proud distinction. It carries with It
the right to serve God according to the
dictates OF your own conscience and to
act as you please so long as You do not
interfere with the lawful rights OF others.
In this country and under this govern
ment all have an equal chance. Great
ness is not inherited. The poor boy has
as good chance as the rich one. He
may meet with more hard knocks but
they only serve to brighten his ideas and
teach him to rely upon his own energy.
Boys, in conclusion, permit me to say
to you, be true Americans. Love your
country as yourself and never allow its
flag to be trailed in the dust.

The Governor of Pennsylvania has at
last done the right thing. He ought to
have done it the day after the Pinkerton
encounter. 1t was then just as evident
as it was on Sunday that no sheriff s
posse could be raised of sufficient num-
bers to cope with the strikers, and wrest
themfrom the property they had taken
possession of in violation of law. After
the strikers have ceased their defiance of
the law the question of their treatment by
the company will be in order, and it is to
be hoped that in some waySthe facts may
be so clearly exposed as to enable the
public to judge whether the cut down
was necessitated by the conditions that
existed, or whether it was wanton at
tempt to get something without paying
fair price for it. If it proves to have
been the latter public sentiment will be
on the side of the workingmen, and pub
lie sentiment is very powerful factor in
such cases.

Though the dilatoriness of the Govern
or of Pennsylvania has been greatly to
his discredit there is this to be said to
his credit, that having finally made up
his mind to- act, he has acted with
efficiency. That's to say he has ordered
force to Homestead so large that in all
probability the rioters will see the folly
of resistance and will submit with out
any fight. A small force sent there
would undoubtedly precipitate another
bloody encounter. The force sent by the
governor will probably restore order
without firing shot.

ONE TARPoN's FIGHT FOR LIFE.
The Story of the Taking of Perhaps tn
Biggest "silver King Yet Caught.
(From The St. Louis Republic.)

- -
There is on exhibition in an Olive
street store window one of the finest
specimens of the tarpon fish ever caught
in Southern waters. 1t is the property
of the st. Louis University, and twas
presented to that institution by Mr.. 500
Newman who caught it with hook and
line in the bay off Naples Fla, in April
last 1t lacks but couple of inches of
being seven feet long, and weighs nearly
10 pounds.
Mr.. Newman gave a reporter the fol
lowing account of how he captured the
monster tarpon: sit was a lovely April
morning when proposed to Mr.. Wilkins
friend from Rochester N. Y that we
take a trip down the bay for tarpon.
We had separate boats and man to-row
us. 1t was. understood that in the event
either of us got a bite the other was to
time the catch, as we wanted to make
a new record, the best then being about
two hours from the time OF bite to that
of landing tarpon. I was fishing with
about eighty feet of No. IS line and one of
the best rods and reels made in the
country. had my line out but a short
while when suddenly there was click,
click at the reel. and almost stimuli
taneously up shot seven feet of the pref
tiest silver fish that ever glittered in the
sunlight. You know the tarpon always
jumps clear of the water the moment he
strikes baited hook As soon as he
struck the water again there was report
as sharp as pistol shot, and my pole
snapped right in the centre. / was cha
grined and disappointed, for felt then
| that my chances of ever landing that fish
| were very remote. Nevertheless |
grabbed the pole where it was broken,
| and with my right hand on the reel,
waited for his majrsty to slacken up
after his first run He jumped four
| times clear of the water while running
| away, my man in the mean time follow
| ing him up in a boat as fast as possible.
| Then began to reel in the line. and
after what seemed to be an hour | had
| him near enough to the boat to be
| GATED.
''But here was another difficulty to be
met. My man was alarmed at the size
and strength of the tarpon and declared
that he was afraid to gaff him with his
| hook, as he was certain he wonld be
pulled overheard. After persuadipg
him that, could rescue him in case Of
such an accident he was induced to make
the attempt of landing the monster with
the gait hook. No sooner did the tarpon
