THE BANKS AND THE TREASURY.

No doubt it is deplorable that in time
OF profound peace, and when nothing assails
the credit of the United States but the
madness of some of its own citizens, it
should be necessary for the banks to come
to the rescue of the public Treasury. But
that necessity was not made either hv the
banks or the national administration

credit by the only means in his power, it is
the interest and the duty of every one who
has stake in the country to do his part
towards strengthening the credit thus
taken. And wien the same party puts a
repudiator on a platform of reputation.
the need becomes instant.
Already the menace has had its effect.

where the interest is lower, but the security
they think is greater. Banks in Western
cities have refused by concert to pay out
gold. Some banks in the East are refusing
to allow gold to be withdrawn from them
unlessthey are satisfied that it is not with

In such condition it can not he said
that reinsurance is not needed. There
could he no more effectual demonstration
of confidence than majority of the voters
OF the country have not gone crazy than
the offer of the institutions which have the
largest stocks of gold to share their stocks
with the government, taking in return the
promiss0ry notes the value of which the
regulators threaten to reduce to SO cents.
This is what the New York banks have
done. More than enough of their gold has
been subscribed to the Treasury to restore
its redemption fund to hundred millions.

also business. Enlightened seif-intereSt is
the motive of it, but the enlightenment is
as clear as the self-interest. If the threat
against the public credit should be fulfilled,
the banks could pay their Indebtedness
including thei: own notes, at discount of
80 per cent, while the gold they withheld
from the government and boarded in their
vaults would surely retain its value and
in the general wreck of things might easily
increase its purchasing power. This is the
view that mere Shylock might take. But
in that case their gold would be their only

to act upon an enlightened view of their
interests.-Harper's Weekly.

The Gr.ndest sacrifice In History.

No matter what the measure of our obli-
cations TO the volunteers of 1875, they
did not go into the war for pay or even for
glory. The world never saw a grander ex-
hibition of unselfsh sacrifice than they
made In pure devotion to their country,
and this is what we have to commemorate,
what we have to emulate, what we have to
teach our children to hold In lasting honor.
Memorial day thus takes Ats place among
our American holidays as the festival espe-
cially of the military virtues, as Independ-
ence day commentaries the civic virtues
and duties of patriotism.

Went Forth In the Morning.

Years ago those whom we honor today
were the pride and the hope Of this land.
All the paths Of fortune and JOY that man
may tread were open to their feet. Early
In the morning of their lives they gave
themselves to the horrors of battle and the
chains of war, and today we honor their
memory. Today we reap the benefits that
came from that great struggle, but the
men who fell In the conflict have nothing
but the dust that covereth their bones
and the love that all the generations to
come shall bear them. -Selected.

YOUTHFUL PATRIOTISM.
1t Is Well For the Boys and Girls to Share
In Holiday Exercises.

Thanks TO the inherent patriotism born
with nearly every child that lives and
breathes, most of our boys and girls do
know and understand what IL means, this
strewing with flowers the grass grown
graves marked with an upright flag on
Memorial day. Should the stranger with
in our gates inquire at random what
means the solemn parade, the young peo-
pie would be few and far between who
would fail of answering the question in
diligently. Such days are educators and
produce far deeper impression than is
generally realized at the time.
1t Is said that the old time town meet
ing was what made the stanchest, most
fiery patriots in the days of our nations
earlier history. Perched on window stills,
leaning on the backs of chairs, crowded in
between tall men, huddled on the plat
form steps-anywhere, everywhere where
only a footing could be secured-were
found the eager, interested lads, who found
no greater treat or diversion than TO creep
into the church or hall where town meet
In" was TO be held. The excitement leap
Ing from eyes and tongues of the speakers
was reflected In the eyes and faces at least
OF the attentive boy who lost no part of
the heated discussion, and long years be-
fore they could vote each embryo patriot
knew beyond the shadow of doubt which
side no was on.
The boys so rapidly grow into men, the
urchins sometimes In the way at the po-
litical caucus so soon are throwing vote
or welding power and authority In mu
nicipal affairs, 1t stands the nation In
good stead to See to 1t that the national
holidays are observed in a way to stir up
all that Is truest and noblest In the hearts
of the boys and girls. We say girls ad-
visedly, aye, with emphasis. Many the

therless boys have been instilled such prin-
ciples Of honor, patriotism and equity that

Thirty-one years have passed since the
last soldier fell In the war for the Union,
and to a very large part of our people now
the commemoration of the heroic dead
necessarily has not the personal associa-
ton that at first gave such solemnity TO
the annual decoration of their graves. But
while the ceremony has thus lost some
thing of its spontaneity 1t may really have
gained more than 1t has lost In value.
This day of flowers, which was at first de-
voted to the personal commemoration of
the dead grows more and more into q cele-
bration of the impersonal virtue Of patri-
otism which was illustrated In their devo-
ton unto death.-Philadelph Times.

The Furlough Of the Dead.

We scatter flowers Of every hue
Star dropt on petals white and blue,
And crimson as the scars and stains
OF heroes Of the purple plains.
And buds as red
AS the soft lips Of wounds that bled.
Where nature strews fair daisies sweet
Above the hearts long ceased 10 beat,
Baptizing them with light and rain,
Can we behold with cool disdain
The gift of flowers
On mounds where sleep the loved of oursi
This day let fragrant odors rise
Like incense TO the radiant skies
From censor cups Of blue and gold,
Blossoms that burn above the mold
OF heroes true
To the old flag, red, white and blue.
The cemetery's swelling graves
Look like a silent sea Of waves,
Whose pillows, standing still. suggest
Not the rude storm, but peaceful rest
Whom death set free,
Whose furlough Is eternity.

Bravery Of Four Union Soldiers Equaled
By the Nobility Of . Confederate Captain.
The brigade Of General w. B. Hazen,
an ideal soldier and the true hero Of the
battles OF Stone River and Mission Ridge,
advanced first To the assault at the battle
of Pickett's Mills. For nearly an hour IL
battled with valor and fortitude worthy
of Its renown under fire as terrible as
any that soldiers ever faced. While re-
treating under orders, firing resolutely as
10 fell back, the color sergeant OF the One
Hundred and Twenty fourth Ohio, the
regiment on It's right, commanded by that
typical American officer Colonel Oliver II.
Payne stepped from the ranks and planted
the colors Of the regiment as a rallying
signal within 30 yards of the Confederate
line. As he did so and before he could re-
move his hand from the staff he was shot
dead and the colors fell with him, their
folds partially covering his body. Another
soldier of the same regiment then advano-
ed, and as he stopped TO lift the oolors he
too was instantly killed.
third rushed forward to save the
treasured ensign and mingled his hearts
blood with that of his devoted comrades.
A fourth soldier from the line of the
One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Ohio
then advanced at double quick toward the
fatal spot He was corporal, wearing
his sword, but without his rifle, and APP
parently about 90 years of age. He had
tall, 1.-the figure and his face was hand
some despite the powder stains upon it.
AS he reached the point where the colors
lay many of the Confederate soldiers called
out TO him to surrender. He smiled at the
summons, and taking off his cap with his
left hand waved IL toward them and then
bent down 20 grasp the color staff with his
right. Many deadly bead was drawn
upon him by the unerring marksmen
whose rifles were cleaning in the sunlight
not 90 feet away when Captain William
NOVEL; of the Fourth Texas rifles, in front
of whose company the fallen flag lay, call
ed out In clear, metallic voice that rang
along the line: Don't shoot For Gods
sake, men, let the brave fellow take the
colors."
His appeal was needed, and although
the line continued It's fire upon the retir-
ing Union troops the daring corporal was
CONSIDERABLY spared and bore the blood
dyed dag back to the ranks of his regi-
ment.-New York Advertiser.

Make the Memorial Day joyful.

Any celebration of this day which should
tend to revive and keep in memory those
buried causes of conflict, jealousy and sus-
picion would be destructive of its true sig
nifcance and baleful only. Let the people
run up their flags to the top Of the mast
Let the bands play joyful airs and not re-

graves of the dead are decorated be SYM
bols of the beauty and symmetry of a
Union strengthened and a people harmo
nized by their common devotion to IL.

not. We are all together now. The same

Thoughts For Memorial Day.

Memorial day engenders beautiful
thoughts In other ways than through the
remembrance of the unselfish devotion to a
great sentiment which led the men Of 1861
to lay down their lives. Flowers, the max
imum of the years beauty In the sky and
on the earth, the honor accorded to the
aged, the solemn words of prayer and
song, all tend to the uplifting Of hearts
and the turning of the minds of the young
to high and noble things, even irrespective
Of the more direct memories evoked by the
day.-Youth's Companion.

While Memory Lives.

As the veterans pass away the beautiful
custom they have instituted and main
tanned will not be neglected. Nelson 8
flagship Victory Is wreathed with flowers
every year on the anniversary Of tho battle
Of Trafalgar, although the men that fought
with Nelson are gone. And so. when the
last soldier o. our civil war has joined his
old commanders, Grant and Sherman and
Sheridan, on the other side, Memorial day
will still be sacredly observed. AS the
nation grows greater and stronger and
more united the services of the men who
