They sleep so calm and stately,
Each in his graveyard bed,
1t scarcely seems that lately
They trod the fields blood red
With fearless tread.
They marched and never halted.
They scaled the parapet.
The triple lines assaulted
And paid without regret
The final debt.
The debt Of slow accruing
A guilty nation made;
The debt of evil doing,
Of justice long delayed
Twas this they paid.
Theodore P. Cook.

Yield not to grief the tribute of a tear,
But meath the forefront of spacious sky
Smile all exultant, as they smiled at fear
Who dared to do where doing meant to die.
So best may comrades prove remembrance
dear,
So best be hallowed earth where soldiers lie.

Ring out the strains like the swell of the sea-
Heartfelt the tribute we lay on each bed.
Sound DER the brave the refrain of the free,
Sound the refrain of the and free,
Visit each sleeper and h,.-.ow each bed,
Wave the starred banner from seacoast to sea.
Grateful, the living and honored the dead.

OUR SOLDIER DEAD.

Beautiful Tributes and Great Thoughts by
Poet and Sage.
Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest,
On this field of the grounded arms,
Where foes no more modest
Nor sentry's shot alarms.
Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers.
Yours has the suffering been;
The memory shall be ours.

Milking the Treasury.

Milking the United States treasury
for gold and then letting it fill up to be
milked again is as simple as the dairy
process of the same kind. AS the COW is
deprived of the secretions of lacteal fluid
and then sent to the pasture till her
udder is replenished for second opera
ton, and so on repeatedly, over and over
again, so the enterprising scalper
Of currency discounts picks up
a stack of greenbacks with which he
draws out treasury gold; then he sells
the gold back to the treasury; then he
comes around again with his greenbacks
and draws out the gold that he had put
in the week before. 1t is fatness for tn
man who does the building, but it is
bankruptcy for the treasury in the end.

Out of Politics.
New YORK. Jan. 2-For the first time
in twenty-five years mayor not OF the
democratic faith is at the head of the
city government. William L. Strong,
who was yesterday inducted into office,
represents very much the same condi-
tions and social elements that asserted
themselves in 1872 in the elevation Of
William T. Havemeir to the mayorallty
In both instances there was revolt
against municipal corruption. Upon
both occasions public sentiment was
crystaizad through the medium of the
committee of seventy. the main pur-
pose in 1872 being to overthrow the
Tweed regime and in 1894 to correct the
abuses known or suspected to exist IN
police and other departments of the city
government. Shortly before noon the
outgoing aud incoming mayors met in
the city hall. After the usual formalities
and Introduction OF the several heads of
the departments to Mr.. Strong, Thomas
F. Gilroy took his departure from the
mayors office and, as he announced,
from political life.
The conditions Of the new officials will
be somewhat changed. The new state
constitution vent into effect yesterday.
Under it every species Of gambling is

tended resignation of many officials are
rife, but it is generally believed that the
men in possession will hold on until they
see whether power of removal bill will
be passed at Albany.

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. "A leading
merchant of Japan, whose integrity is
vouched for by high commercial connec-
tions here, just arrived, says the reason
the Japanese always win important bat
ties SO easily is because they send their
agents ahead and do not fight until the
Chinese mandarins and Chinese officials
have been bribed into making only a
pretence of resistance.
He declares that while it approxi-
mate!y cost 100000 to "fix" the naval
battle off the mouth of the Yalu river it
only cost 100000 to buy an easy victory
at Port Arthur. The bribes he says are
paid in gold.
