The Union foreverl Hurrah, boys, hurrahl
Down with the traitors, up with the stars,
While we rally round the flag, boys,
Rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry Of freedom.
We are springing to the call
OF our brothers gone before,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
And Wen fill the vacant ranks
With a million freemen more,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
We are marching to the field, boys,
Going to the fight,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
And Wen bear the glorious stars
OF the Union and the right,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
If we fall amid the fray, boys,
We will face them to the last,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
And our comrades brave shall hear US
AS we are rushing past,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.

"WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING
HOME"

HOME"
A favorite among the boys in the army
as we'll as in the social circles at home Is
known far and near by the above title
The song was written by the late Patrick
Sarsfleld Gilmore, famous as the leader
of the band which bears his name. 1t has
also been ascribed to Mr.. Louis Lambert
Whatever may be the merit of the words,
however, the song owes its popularity to
the rollioking tune which has long been
known as Johnny, Fill Up the BOWL"
When Johnnie comes marching home again,
Hurrahl Hurrahi
Wen give him hearty welcome then,
Hurrahl Hurrahl
The men win cheer, the boys will shout
The ladies they will all turn out,
And Wen all feel gay
When Johnnie comes marching home.
The old church bell will peal with Joy,
Hurrahl Hurrahi
To welcome home our darling boy,

SONGS OF AFFECTION,

BrleT reference has been made to An
ME Laurie as a sentimental song that
became popular in the English army dur
ing the Crimean war; So during our own
struggle, pathetic words were allied to
touching music and sung around the
oampflres and domestic flresides. One Of
chose, "Tenting on the Old Camp
Ground" is still remembered by the old
soldiers both of the north and south. and
may yet be heard in many a home circle.
1t was composed by Walter Kittredge,
who was born in Merrimac, N. H., Oct 8,
1889, and known as public singer and
writer of songs and ballads Having been
drafted in 1862, he was preparing to go
to the front when the words and music
occurred to him, and in few minutes he
transcribed them to paper. At first the
song was refused by music publishers, but
1t Is said that when published it's sale
reached hundreds of thousands of copies:
TENTING ON THE OLD CAMP GROUND.
We're tenting tonight on the old camp ground
Give us a song to cheer
Our weary hearts-a song of home
And friends we love so dear.
CHORUS
Many are the hearts that are weary tonight
Wishing for the war to cease.
Many are the hearts looking for the right,
To see the dawn of peace.
Tenting tonight, tenting tonight,
Tenting on the old camp ground.
We've been tenting tonight on the old camp
ground,
Thinking Of days gone by,
OF the loved ones at home that gave us the
hand
nd hn tnor not gni1
We are tired Of war on the old camp ground.
Many are dead and gone
OF the brave and true who left their homes;
Others have been wounded long.
We've been fighting today ON the old camp
ground.
Many are lying near;
Some are dead and some are dying;
Many are in tears.
Among the authors of the time was the
late Charles g. Sawyer of Brooklyn, to
whom we are indebted for the following,
which quickly found its way across the
lines and became popular in the south. It
was written in the autumn Of 1861, and
more than 1000, 900 copies have been sold:
WHEN THIS CRUEL WAR IS OVER.
Dearest love, do you remember
When we last did meet
How you told me that you loved me,
Kneeling at my feet2
Oh, how proud you stood before me,
In your suit of blue
When you vowed to me and country
Ever to be true.
CHORUS.
Weeping, sad and lonely,
Hopes and fears how yainl
Yet praying, when this cruel war is over,
Praying that we meet againl
When the summer breeze is signing
Mournfully along,
Or when autumn leaves are falling,
Sadly breathes the song.
Oft in dreams l see thee lying
On the battle plain,
Lonely, wounded, even dying,
Calling, but in vain.
WHO WILL CARE FOR MOTHER NOWP
Why am l so weak and weary?
See how faint my heated breath.
All round to me seems darkness.

1.-The Battle Cry Of Freedom"
1t was one Of several songs written by
George f. Root, composer and publisher
of many ether beautiful songs and ballads
prior to 1861, and was first sung by the
celebrated Hutchinson family at a mass
meeting in the city Of New York. Mr.
Root was born in Sheffield, Mass, Aug
80, 1920, and as an evidence of his virility
the incident may be related that as recent
lily as January of the present year, at a mil
litary entertainment in Chicago, the ven
cradle maker of the verse and music, gray
haired, yet alert, was called to the stage
and in strong voice sang his own patri-
otto rallying song. At the end of each
verse he was cheered to the echo, and not
content with that the audience took the
words out of the mouths of the army of
singers and joined enthusiastically in the
chorus.
The story has been printed that during
the desperate fight in the Wilderness, May
l6, 1864, Federal command was driven
back in disorder with heavy loss Re-
forming, it prepared once more to confront
the enemy. At this moment some of the
men of the Forty-tifth Pennsylvania began
to sing:
Well rally round the flag, boys, rally once
again.
The refrain was taken up by other regi-
ments in line of battle, and, with recovered
spirits, the previously disheartened boys
dashed back into the thick of the fight
The original words are as follows:
Yes, We'll rally round the flag, boys,
Well rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
We will rally from the hillside,
We will rally from the plain,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.

REDEEMER POLICE ROBBERS.
Sedgwick County Commissioners Head on
Their Latest Scheme.

Sedgwick County Commissioners Head Oh
Their Latest Scheme.
There is more trouble on for Mr.,
MorrilPs police sppointees at Wichita.
In the recent liquor prosecutions the
police officers have served all warrants,
subpenas, etc., and they now come
before the Board Of County Commits
sioners with an erroneous fee. bill for
such service. The fees charged were
the same as are allowed Sheriffs and
Constables. The county authorities
very promptly pigeon-holed the bill.
1t had occurred to the Board that
when Policeman was paid q salary
that it was neither reasonable nor hon.
est to pay them both salary and fees.
Anybody knows that when an Offices
is paid q salary for attending to the
duties of an Office that that is his com.
pensation in full, and that the public
cannot be called upon for further pay
for him. Nobody but a redeemer
would have gotten any other idea in
his head. 1t is fortunate for the people
Of that county that the Board Of
County Commissioners happened to be
made up Of men who had sufficient
interest in the affairs Of the taxpayers
to head off this redeemer raid on the
treasury. The whole scheme Of rob-
berry Is in accord with the settled policy
Of the FeeeemsF administration, end

The average Republican assumes to
possess all the information necessary
for q free, intelligent voter, but It ID
usually very largely assumption. The
following story illustrates well the
actual degree Of enlightenment attained
by many of the most blatant and pre-
sumptuous adherents Of that party.
1t is taken from the Hutchiscn-- --GC-
zette.
"While In Wichita some days ago we
heard story on the Hon. Jerry Simp-
son that takes the cake. AT a certain
store on Douglas avenue, the proprie-
tor Of which is q Populist, was gath
cred q crowd of four or FIVE who weTe
discussing the qualities of Mr.. long,
who is supposed to represent the peo-
pie of this district. Some one said
something derogatory to Mr.. Long,
when one Of the crowd, who 10 q re-
deemer, spoke up and said: 'Well, Il
don't know much about Long, but I
know he won't do what Jerry Simpson
did, On. being asked what Mr.. Slmp-
son had done, he said: why, when d
certain bill was up he voted for IL IN
the House in the forenoon, and Ia the
afternoon went over to the Senate and
voted against 1t.

A Good POpuIist Fighter.

Senator J. W. Leedy was In the city
Friday and Saturday "deposinR' In
the Snow-Hudson case. The Senator
is enthusiastic over political condl-
tions existing and thinks that nothing
can stop the tide Of converts to the
Populist cause. He thinks that re-.
demption Is not what the rank and
file Of the Republican party expected
it would be and that they will never
vote for the same crowd again. The
Senator has attended and spoken at q
number Of meetings this fall and feels
especially good over the enthusiasm
prevailing.

In referring to the change in the
Office Of the Chief Of Police In that
city, the Wichita Beacon calls atten.
ton to one of MorrilPs disgraceful
snte-election promises to the brewery
interest. 1t says:
"Whst kind Of orders will Governor
Morrill, issue to Charley BurrowsP His
first order, if he remembers his ante.
election promises, will be to allow the
Pabst Brewing Company to sell its
beer in Wichita, and he will be further
instructed that Mr.. Billy Polk repre-.
sents the PabSt Brewing Company in
Wichita.
"When the agent of the Psbst Brew.
ing Company met the man who was
managing Mr.. Morrill's campaign In
Kansas City before the last election
and in consideration of being allowed
to sell his beer in certain places
named, Wichita being one, he agreed
to furnish Mr.. Morrill, $500 votes, he
was not in fun. Those $500 votes cost
something.
"There were several reliable Repub-
licans present when this contract was
made. One of them was Wichita
man. The first letters of his name are
Arthur Carpenter. Mr.. Carpenter is q
villainous Republican, but personally
he is a reliable sort Of q man and
Arthur says he was there.
Governor Morrill, has kept his word
with the prohibitionists. He has exc
cuted the prohibitory liquor law in
Wichita with Tiger Bill howl and a
brass band accompaniment for which
all the preachers are expected to give
thanks and vote the Republican ticket.
He will now proceed to keep his
promise with the Pabst Brewing Com
pany for which all the jointists who
sell Pabgt beer will be expected to take
a drink and walk up to the polls with
the prohibition preachers and vote the
ticket.
"That will not surprise anybody in
Wichita. The people here have looked
upon scenes like that before. The
jointists have their inning about the
time Of the election and the prohibi.
tion preachers after election, If the Re-
publican ticket is elected"

The Law Not Enforced.

Governor Morrill, is In receipt of a
communication from Fort Scott setting
forth that his Board of Police Commits
sioners are not enforcing the law.
These complaints are so common that
it is not unreasonable to presume that
it is not being enforced anywhere.

The Hutchinson Gazette says that
there are two reasons for George T.
Anthony's fight on frsternal orgsnizs-
tions. The first, that he is in posi-.
tion to talk business to the old line

constituted physically that brother

ton, and that he is -blooded and
hated and despised by all men.
The Ottawa county Populist con.
vention, of which Senator r. E. Bald

following ticket, which the TndeU says
is good one: Treasurer, William Run

Crow; Surveyor, j. j. Kirby; Coroner,

Dawes appointed W. P. Campbell
as Assistant Attorney General at
Wichita to enforce the prohibitory

that is only on q parity with the
fact that brother of the Topeka re-

In 1889 and 1890, during Republican
administration, Pratt county's ex-
penses were $44,657.7O. During 1891
and 1892, under Populist rule, they
were reduced to $S7, 7,774.46, and during
the two years following the continued
reduction brought the expense down
to $37 7,008.44. During 1889-90,
S3, ,965.S5 was paid out for county print
ing, while during 1912 only $2,028.lS
was paid out, and in 1884 it got down
Is low as 81 ,622. .49. This is remarkably
good showing and means that it Is de-

that the Populist ticket be
elected. Economy is necessary these
times.

nounced his return to the Republics
party. AS he was never of any earthl
value and, on the contrary, was DEF
riment to the Populist party, no on
but Republicans need feel bad over tn
change.
An enthusiastic Populist convention
in Sheridan county nominated the fol
lowing ticket: Treasurer, W. w. Kess

Lawrence Journal! Ingalls, says the
man is now living who will see q
journey made across the continent in
one day. It is his own personal ex'
perience that has led him to this belief.
The Populists once fired Ingalls, from
Washington back to Kansas in about
fifteen minutes.
The report that S. M. Scott has left
Kansas is premature. He says he don't
intent to leave the State, and that al
though he may have to forage on the
outside a little he expects to stay in
the State until there are seven Popu-
list Congressman and two United States
Senator's elected.
Postmster Washer, of Atchison,
who thinks he knows something about
grain, says corn will be lower in Kan.
sss this year than ever before, and says
it will be due to the fact that the crop
is extra large and that the replacing Of
horse power with electricity materially
decreases the city demand for it.
Republican papers, which are short
on campaign material in local politics
in many Kansas counties, set up q
charge that the town Populists are
trading the country candidates off.
There is usually nobody to trade with
but Republicans, and Populists who
would make that kind of a trade are
unworthy the name.
Assistant Attorney General Goddard
has begun an action against DIR. L. A.
Golden, Of Smith county, for $4,000
