Who fifty years ago
Bcdecked themselves In suits of gray
And marched TO Mexico?
Where are the boys who fought with Scott
When first he wore the gray
The boys who trod the Mexican soil
Through storm and thicKcst fray!
Where are the boys? Can any tell
OF the far distant past.
How well-disciplined marched the Grays
Twixt bullets fierce and fast?
Can any tell Of the hearts that broke
Or whose the tears that were shed;
Ger those who were lost on the battle
The field Of the honored dead?
Can any tell of the love and pride
Each veteran bosom bore,
While battling in the conflict
For four long years or more?
What thoughts were theirs alone at home
Through that long weary day!
Only one thought-"Oh. God we pray,
Spare the brave boys in gray.
Yes. some were spared who wore the
gray.
And some who wore the blue.
God answered the prayer OF the South
land fair:
He answered the Northland's. too.
But m.sly who left at the battles dawn

A slab marks only their way.

The two rival methods of supplying the
deficiency that will result from the pass
age of the Wilson bill are a tax on sugar
and a tax on incomes. Each of these
methods has had numerous and strong
advocates among the Democrats. The
former method was voted down in the
House on Monday and sugar in all its
stands, as it appears likely to, appar-
emily the only resource left for making
up the deficiency is the tax on incomes.
The defeat of the sugar tax appears,
therefore, to indicate the adoption of
the income tax scheme unless the
the deficiency to go unprovided for. The
details of this income tax bill were pub
lished yesterday. Its provisions are COM
plioated, inquisitorial and will prove ex-
ceedingly embarrassing to the business
man. A mere suspicion on the part of
the collector of internal revenue that
man has not made correct return of
his income is made apparently sufficient
reason for booming hm, for the law saws
that the deputy collector may increase
the amount of the income returned if he
has reason to believe that it is under
stated. Public sentiment will never an
prove the lodging of such arbitrary
power as that in any body. In the stress
of war the opposition to the income tax
was SO strong that it was very difficult
to collect the tax. In time of pro-
found peace that opposition will be in
tensified many fold.

The resolution which Senator 1urpie
in behalf of the committe on foreign
affairs introduced yesterday probably
voices the sentiment of the. country in
regard to the, attitude of this govern
ment toward Hawaii. While there is a
sentiment for annexation, we very much
doubt if the majority of the people are
in favor of that policy at present. But
there is no question that the country is
almost unanimously opposed to Clever
lands policy of restoring the queen and
against meddling in any way with the
Provisional government. Turpie's reso-
luton is in effect rebuke to the Presl-
dent and notice to him in the future to
let hawaii alone.
