ten days, making an order that unless the
defendants to the suit had answered by
that date they would not be allowed to do
so later.

IT seems that the country is to have
another "object lesson" in finance this
year. The method has been slightly
varied, but the end to be arrived at is the
same. The United States treasury is be-
ing steadily and persistently drained of
gold, while by way of earning its 3d.
100000 fee, the syndicate deposits just
enough day by day to prevent the re-
serve from falling below the $100,000,000
mark. This whole play Is for the pur-
pose of showing the country what it may
expect after October /, when the obliga-
tlons of the syndicate are at an end.
Everything is likely to be in proper con-
ditiOn for another issue of bonds by the
time congress assem- bles, if not before.
The intention is clearly to throw the re-
sponsibility for a continuation of present
conditions upon the Republican con-
gress. How will it meet the situation?
VIII it ignore it and allow Mr. Cleveland
to go on issuing bonds, will it join in his
scheme for riveting the gold standard
upon the people, or will it periodically
do its duty regardless of any party ad-
vantage that may or may not be secured,
and lift the treasury out of its difficulties
for all time by passing bill for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of IS to /, and prohibiting contracts
discriminating against it? Silver has
more than two-thirds majority in both
houses if the party whip is withheld

Gently gone into effect in the grand

The law requires the payment of

in this direction than any other state
1t will thus be seen that this magnif-
cent park will be amply furnished with
rnenorial objects. Not only is it the
most extensive military memorial and
object lesson in the world, but, every
thing considered, the engagements it
commentaries were among the most
important of the entire struggles be-
tween the north and the south. They
include the battle of Chickamauga, one
ef the bloodiest of modern times, which
took place on Sept. 10, 90 and 81,
1868, just 80 years before the time set
for the coming celebration the scarcely
less sanguinary engagement of Mission
airy Ridge and the subsequent battles
at Lookout Mountain, Orchard Knob,
Browns Ferry and Wauhatchie.
The battle of Chickamauga was a
Confederate victory, but the engage
ment of Missionary Ridge, which closed
the series of fights in the immediate vi
cinity of Chattanooga, caused the cam
paign as a whole to result in Federal
triumph. This occurred on Nov. 25,
little more than two months after the
battle of Chickamauga, and was a much
more sweeping victory, owing to the
uncomfortable zeal of the Federal troops,
than their commanders had thought pos
sible. 1t is not feasible in SO brief an
article as the present to recount in Sc
quence the thrilling military events of
the fateful two months of 1868 that are
shortly to be celebrated, and every stu
dent Of civil war history is already IA
miliar with the records. 1t may be re-
called, however, that of the entire Sc
ries of engagements the concluding one
at Missionary Ridge was the most spec
tacular, as the opening one at Chicka-
manga was the most sanguinary Of the
entire campaign. The average losses on
each side at Chickamauga on the part
of the troops which fought through two
days were fully 80 per cent, and some
portions on each side suffered losses as
high as from SO to rs per cent.
The exercises which will be observed
at the opening Of the park will be of
the most interesting nature. They will
begin few days after the close of the
G. A. R. encampment at Louisville,
and many attending the encampment
will go directly from there to Chatta-
nooga. It is believed that the attend
ance will largely exceed that which has
been brought out at any other similar
gathering since the work of memorial
izing the events Of the civil war was
begun. In recognition of the significant
fact that the monuments Of the blue and
the gray stand side by side the attend
ance from the south will be as large as
from the north-perhaps larger.
It is expected that President Cleve-
land and his cabinet, members of the
supreme court, heads of the executive
departments, the admiral of the navy,
the governors of many states and Sec
tons of state militia and regulars will
be present as we'll as thousands of veter-
ans and civilians The United States

tySburg, yet very much has been done,
and those who visit Chickamauga for
the first time on the days of the coming
celebration will, no doubt, be greatly
surprised at the extent of the work.
According to the last report of Secre-
tary Lamont, the park now contains
8, 521 acres. One thousand more acres
are to be added, and were it not for the
exorbitant prices asked by the owners of
adjacent lands still more would be
bought. Forty-one miles of road have
been built, and state commissions and
a committee from the Society of the Ar
my of the Tennessee have been occupied
for months in locating the lines of bat
tie. Troops from the following states
took part in the engagements commemo-
rated: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mich
igan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
New Jersey, New York, North Carroll
ma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina.
Tennessee. Texas, Virginia and Wiscon-
sin. Nearly all of these states have ap-
pointed commissions, and it is expected
the legislatures of all will eventually
take proper action.
The establishment of the park was
authorized by act Of congress in August,
1890. In a commendable spirit of pa
triotic cooperation the state of Georgia
has ceded jurisdiction over the Chicka-
manga field and the roads approaching
it to the general government, and the
state Of Tennessee has ceded jurisdiction
over the roads across Lookout mountain,
through the 'fabOve the clouds battle
field, the road thence to Rossville and
the road from ROssville along the crest
of Missionary ridge to General Sher-
mans position on the north end thereof
The government has purchased Orchard
knob, where the headquarters of Gener-
ais Grant and Thomas were located on
the third day, and also that part of Mis-
sionary ridge where General Bragg's
headquarters were situated. Five OBJ
servation towers of iron and steel, each
20 feet high, have been erected by the
gOvernment--twO on Missionary ridge
and three on the field of Chickamauga.
| Two thousand cast iron tablets, each
marking some important event, have
been set up. Each of these is 4 by
| feet in size and bears an inscrip-
ton in plain white letters embossed on
a black background. These tablets deal
impartially with the men of the north
/ and south, the inscriptions indicating
the headquarters, positions and charges
during the various fights. Seventy guns
mounted on carriages, such as were used
in the battles, indicate the principal po-
sitions occupied by the batteries at
Chickamauga. Eight pyramids of heavy
shells, each 10 feet high, have been
erected to show where brigade COM
manders, both Union and Confederate,
were killed. The eight commanders
thus commemorated were Brigadier Gen
eral ". H. Lytle, U. S. A, command
ing the first brigade Of Sheridan's divi-
sion, killed Sept 20; Colonel Philemon

negro desperate, last night met two
white boys, w B. Welsh and John Hough.
both about seventeen years old,
near Hailes Gold Mine. Lancaster county
and with the declaration that it
was time for negroes to begin to
kill white men, opened fire the
boys, who were unarmed. Welsh was
first shot through the body, and when he
begged the negro not to shoot him again.
the brute placed his revolver to Welsh's
head and shot him dead
Lloyd then fred at Hough, but sue
ceeded in hitting him only once, break
ing his right arm. Lloyd then took to
the mountains, but company of white
men are after him with the avowed pur-
pose of lynching him as soon as they
catch him. Both Welsh and Hough are
members of prominent families.
