1t Is Now Generally Observed Throughout
the Country.
In nearly every town in the North
ern States the streets on Memorial
Day resound Il the sound of martial
music, and the surviving veterans
march together, not now, as they did
so many years ago, to the camp and
the battle field, but to that last camp
ing ground whe have been lain all
that was mortal of so many of their
comrades. AS they place their floral
tributes upon the mounds that are
marked by miniature emblem of the
flag under which they marched and
fought, and in defense of which and
what it represents So many of those
whose graves they deco ate gave up
their lives, CT received wounds and
disease from which they have since
suffered and died, they cannot but de-
vote moments thought to the time
when they, too, shall have answered
the last roll call and with lights out :"
shall have sank into their last slum-
Der, TO be awakened only In the great
hereafter. They devote a thought to
the memory CT those who do not lie in
those graves, near home and among
their kindred, who still cherish their
memory, but who, uncoffined and un-
knelled, were buried in trenches, or In
but hastily made graves upon the
fields that their sacrifices redeemed to
the Union and to Freedom.
For few years after the observance
OF this day was begun by the returned
soldiers, they were left to perform
their sad duties almost alone, unas-
sisted, and scarcely noticed except by
the friends of those around whose

THE LOYALTY OF WOMAN.

IT'S meet that for our warriors
We come Memorial Day
With nags unfurled. while drum beat
Aud bugle lead the way.
That DER their last encampmcnA
Where never stirs a soul
In memory of their valor.
The boom of cannons roll
But save In gentlest whispers,
Como not In woman's namet
Drum beat or blare OF bugle
Should not her deeds proclaim
Yet, tho her duties led her
Not In the battles heat,
Her zeal spurred men to conquest
And cheered them In defea.
And where deaths angel lowered.
Her feet sped swift and sure;
Her touch brou Sht balm and healing,
Her voice strength TO endure
Did woman's heart e'er falter.
In war OF gray and blue?
To God, or Flag. or Country,
Her heart e'er prove untruef
For every wounded soldier.
Or hero that hath died,
Some woman. too. hath suffered.
In soul been cruciffed
Ali tits the prayers OF woman
Methinks the sad refrain
That give to martial music
A subtle sense OF pain.
The brightest deeds recorded
In Gods own book above,
Are of mans dauntless courage.
And woman's deathless love
As comrade is to ccmrade
Is she to veteran true;
And each to each shall cherish
The gratitude that's due
Their names may not be severed,
The Veterans deeds We own;
But woman's hands upheld them.

American workmen are always the most
efficient workmen. 1t is the experience of
every manufacturer that some Of the most
highly skilled men in various lines of industry
are men OF European birth. There is prob
ably not great textile mill In the United
States which does not contain European
workmen, who occupy superior positions
solely because they are first-rate hands,
thoroughly learned in all processes OF the
business. The best all-around artisans of the
white race are the French ;and wages in France
are from one-halfto one-third less than they
are in this country. England pays higher
wages than Germany or France in her wooden
and silk mills. II this is the result OF the
greater efficiency OF her workmen, and il no
protection is needed under such conditions.
England could not be hurt by free competi-
ton in her market from Germany and
France. What is the fact? 1t is that France
undersells the British wooden manufacturer
in his own market, and that German and
French silks have almost exterminated the
British manufacturer OF silks. In the absence
of protection the low labor cost will control
the market all the time.
1t is true that a highly paid man with a
frst-class steam-driven machine will beat a
poorly paid man working with his hands or
with an inferior machine. But that particular
difference between workmen in different
countries is rapidly disappearing. The very
best modern machinery Is WITHIN reacn OF the
manufacturers of the world. civilized and
half-civilized. The Indian cotton mills have
equipments not inferior to those that are
found in the mills of Lancashire. The most
highly improved cotton-spinning and silk
weaving machinery is now going into the
mills of Japan. In Japan the number OF
cotton spindles has more than doubled within
year. In japan and India mil operatives
can be hired for ten or fifteen cents day, and

The cheap japanese workman will produce
silk fabrics that will close up every silk mill
in the United States il the duty upon the
goods be reduced below the protective point
The movement at Washington for the re-
duction or removal OF duties. therefore. is in
eyitably and beyond all possibility of dispute
a movement for the reduction of American
wages. The workingman is the first victim
and he must be the worst sufferer from this
assault upon industry. The need of tariff
protection becomes greater rather than less.
Unless all labor is to fall to the oriental level
it must be sheltered from competition from

The Great Presence of Mind of a Texas
Lady at Trying Moment.
IFrom the Galveston Daily News.l
BRENNAN, Tex, March 23.-A married lady
OF neighboring town whose character is
above reproach, arrived on the train about 8
o'clock this morning. Entering bus she went
to a hotel. She was informed by the night
clerk that there was not o vacant room in the
house. The lady did not know what to do, as
she was fatigued by her journey and did not
wish TO sit up the balance of the night, and as
she had no escort she could not go to another
hotel in search of ofaceommodatlon. The house
keeper was called, ami after thinking a mo-
ment she said there was one room. which be-
longed to regular boarder but as he did not
sleep there regularly perhaps it was unoceu-
pied. The key to the room was procured and
sure enough the boarder was not at home. nor
was it likely that he would come back at that
time of night. So the lady thankfully accepted
the room and retired.
The boarder arrived this morning about an
hour after the lady retired, and entering his
room, he saw, as he SUPPOSED. his friend con-
fortably tucked in his bed, sound asleep, and
for fear OF waking him the boarder was very
quiet in his movements, not lighting a lamp
for the same reason. He crawled into bed and
was soon asleep.
Imagine the lady's horror when she awoke
this morning TO see strange man sound
asleep on the other pillow, but as she knew it
was his room and he had perfect right to be
there she made no disturbance, and without
waking him she dressed as quick as possible
and slipped out of the room and down stairs
to the office, where she paid her bill and
went away, not stopping for breakfast.
The whole thing came out at the breakfast
table, when the boarder announced to his
friend that he was glad to learn that he was
getting so that he could sleep better and
sounder,.. for he had crawled in bed with him
last night without waking him. The friend
was surprised when he said this, and said:
why, was not in your room last night"
The boarder thought his friend was joking
and said no more. but the veil was lifted
when both of them heard the housekeeper
announce to the proprietor that 1.-THE house
was full last night, SO put the lady in Mr..
