musicians of the Marine Band. marched
to the cemetery A beautiful feature of
the procession was the many hundreds of
Sunday-SehooI children who were in line
The cemetery was reached shortly before
noon and the exercises were held upon a
large platform which was erected in the
eastern portion of the ground. After
salute of minute guns in honor
OF the dead, by gun crews from
the navy yard, Mr.. Chambers called
the vast assemblage to order and made
few Introductory remarks. The divine
blessing was stheninvokedb by the Rev Joseph
D. Wilson, after which the Farragut Post
Octette, Messrs. Green, Purvis, Lange,
Lowry, McElfresh, Bussey, Benham and
Redfield, rendered Consolation.
Comrade S. r. Strattan followed as
orator of the day. In the course of his
address he spoke very sarcastically of
the Secretary of War, who had revoked
permission for the use OF the Fourth Artil-
lery Band to take part in the exercises.
Everything considered, said Mr.. STRAIT
tan, 1--WE are of the opinion that there is
not half as much improperly in allowing
this band to parade to-day as there was
in the last Congress voting the use OF
United States cannon to fire salutes in
honor of the ~Sigautic celebration of
the Confederate monument which is to
be dedicated in Chicago to-day. The Off
GERS of this artillery could have afforded
to make a little personal sacrifice in
honor of the brave boys who sleep beneath
the sod OF this city of the dead"
The Farragut Post Octette then sang
1--WE Deck their Graves Alike To-day"
which was followed by poem written for
the occasion by Mis-. NJ. ID. Lincoln, and
read by Mrs. S. X. Strattan. The great
number present then sang America, +" fol-
lowed by the hymn Nearer My God, to
Thee by the school children. After the
beuediction was pronounced by Rev. E. o.

He spoke of patriotism as the highest vir-

heroic minds of patriotic soldiers, which
inspired them to lofty and maguahimous
deeds.
He defined patriotism as love for your

happiness and prosperity of the republic
and conscTipts to its use all the genius, rank
and wealth and eloquence to defend its
civil aud religious rights and institutions

precinct, in Balls alley northwest, yes
terday afternoon, there would 10 doubt
have been a Memorial Day tragedy added
to the long list of killings in the District.
The officer was attracted by an un-
usual cOmmOtion in the byway aud found
that Richard Walker, cOlored, had been
flOurishing a fifteen-iuch butcher knife
with the avowed purpose of carving Annie

He claimed that the woman had kicked
him in the face, scratched and otherwise
maltreated him. He then procured the

her. The ugly weapon will be used in
evidence against Walker in the Police

Mr.. Horr said plainly and was re

can annul it in spite Of all the statutes

not legislate them out of the habit,
either. They undervalued gold"
This admission is no less important
than the one as to the unit of value.

Gold is the coin that reposes in the
vault Of the money lOaner. That is its
function. 1t is the money Of the rich
who hoard money. Gold is the idier.
Silver is the rustler. When the mea-

away, and given TO gold alone, the
poor people were hurt; the millionaire
benefited. Three million debates from
a gold standpoint cannot make the fact
otherwise.
