of the most notable battlefields of the
world-that of Chickamauga-was
dedicated yesterday as park for the
edification of the American people for
all time. The dedication was conduct

one could have walked from crest to
base, stepping from one PROSTATE body
to another. Fifty thousand people,
most of them veterans, witnessed the
exercises.

The third day of the exercises attend
ant upon the dedication of the battle
field of Chickamauga to the nation as
a park, opened with grand civic and
military parade, in which the visiting
cabinet officers, governors and their
stats and the various military organ
izations took part. It brought more
people to the city proper than had
been here at any one time since the
dedicatory exercises began.
Barnum's tent was filled again last
night. There was gathering there
of the survivors of the army of North
ern Virginia and that portion of the

people in this region, natives and Wis

the battlefield festivities. and by sun
rise hundreds were on the streets,
while before o'clock every thorough
fare in the city was thronged. Some
of the conservatives say that there
are not over so, 900 strangers here, but
others place the number at 100000 or
more. The people began to move
towards Chickamauga early. and until
trains and electric cars were damned,
but there were no blockades.
Z he first event of the day was the
dedication of the Michigan STATE mon
uments at Snodgrass Hill, point at
which there was probably more hard
fighting during the battle than on any
part of the field.
The veterans of Ohio on SnOdgrass
Hill, of Illinois at Widow GleEn's
house, of Indiana on Lytte Hill and
NJ Massachusetts, on Knob Hill followed
with appropriate dedicatoay cere-
monies. The governors and prominent
officials of these states took part in the
exercises.

Five minutes later from the other
chair was heard the exclamation:
''Wish I'd brought can of hot water
with me" This caused Jim, who was
stropping the poets razor at the mo-
ment, to jump Is though he had been
shot and turn upon another negro with
the ferocity of wounded tiger. "Wha'
To- you don't hab dat watah hot, nig-
gah, when MistuF Riley comes!" he
shouted as he waved the razor threat
eningly. The addressed swore it was
hot, and to prove that he was right
went over and inserted long ebony
finger in the boiling kettle. 1t was
jerked ont with yelp, and for mo-
ment pandemonium reigned Jim
thought the negro was shamming and
he, too, pushed his finger down into
the boiling water only to snatch it out
with howl.
While this was going on there was .
succession of suppressed chuckles from
the next chair, but when Jim turned
to resume his work the face of the poet
was as expressionless as that of the
sphinx. Jim was holding his finger
with the other hand and was about to
make some remark, when-"Now, don't

was apparently asleep. As the chin
was being covered Jim's eyes glanced
away for . moment. At the instant
the poet ducked his head the brush
took him squarely in the eye. The

glanced down again there was one eye

IN THE RUT AGAIN.

Congress seems to have settled down
to its old habit of talking. 1t would
be charity to take it as mere talk to
kill time, and more charitable still to
concede a general want of ability to
do the work assigned to it. 1t is not
clear, however, that the platitudinous
illusions of Oratory are all inspired by
ignorance. From the interminable
depths of ignorance and inability to
cope with the issues under considera-
ton, there rises to the surface enough
of SelfiShnesS. and sufficient trickery
toward gaining party ascendency to
show that there are even worse quail
tiles there than ignorance. 1t might
have been supposed that since the
memorable event of November some
other tactics would be adopted, but
not so. The only change from the
"demnition horrid grind" of the mid
summer session is the selection of a
new topic.
Whatever else may be recorded of
this administration, and the Fifty-third
accord it the courage-otherwise the
hardihood-to tackle any question, no
matter what interests are involved, as
fit subjects for legislation. Not only
perishable lines that whatsoever at
tempts have been made toward the
modification and codification of exist
ing laws, were heralded to the world
under the high sounding title of re-
form. Not content with providing the
necessary change in our national
statues, which came with lapse of time
and the trend Of events, Mr.. Cleveland
and his followers felt called upon to
begin at the foundation and, piece by
piece, to remove the Substructure of
the detested Republican air castle.
Notable proof of this is in the general
assault upon government revenues by
the attempt to reform the tariff. The
public. in utter helplessness looked on
till the hour for making a new con-
gress, and it was so done, but now
comes the remnant of what was a most
triumphant party, with the grandest
prospects, twelve months ago. eSSaying
to get still little nearer the bottom of
the foundation of the republic, by an
effort to reform the whole system of
our currency. Thus far the project
and the ''plans" have been heralded TO
the world, and-the talk has begun.
The pro and con will be argued, up and
down they will have it, no two holding
the same views. and the opposing fac
tons, within the party, each predict
ing dire calamity if certain contra
dictory policies are not adopted. 1t is
of little consequence TO these, our
Solons, that confidence is destroyed and
BUSINESS stagnant on account of their
meddling. 1t is the business of the
people to worry with that condition.
What lesson TO our enfranchised
people, what wreckage to rotten and
unscrupulous party.
