AT ARLINGTON.
By James R. Randall in Augusta, Ga,
 Uaral

 By James R. Randall in Augusta, Ga.
 Herald. The broken column, reared in air
 TO nm who made our country great, Can almost cast it's shadows where The victims of a grand despair,
 In long, long ranks of death await The last, loud trump, the judgment sun, Which comes from all, and, soon or late Will come for those at Arlington. In the vast sepulchre repose The thousands reaped from every fray, The men in blue who once uprose In battlefront to smite their foes
 The Spartan bands who wore the grey, The combat OCT, the death-hug done,
 In summer blaze or winter snows, They keep the truce at Arlington. And, almost lost in myriad graves
 Of those who gained the unequal fight Are mounds that hide confederate braves Who reck not how the north wind raves, In drizzling day or dimmest night. Der those who lost and those who won, Death holds no barley which was right Jehovah judges Arlington! The dead had rest; the dove of peace Brooded o'er both with equal wings. 10 both had come that great surcease, The last omnipotent release
 From all the worlds delirious strings To bugle deaf and signal gun,
 They slept, like heroes Of old Greece Beneath the glebe at Arlington. And in the springs benignant reign, The sweet May woke her harp of pines Teaching her choir a thrilling strain Of jubilee to land and main,
 She danced in emerald down the lnes Denying largess bright to none, She saw no difference in the signs That told who Wept a Arlington. She gave her grasses and her flowers To all alike who dreamed in dust; Her song-birds wove their dainty bowers Amid jasmine n nd And piped with an impartial trust Waifs of the air and liberal sun!
 Their guileless g,ees were kind and just To friend and foe at Arlington. And mid the generous spring there came Some women of the land who strove To make the funeral field of fame Glad as the May-god's altar flame,
 With rosy WreathS of mutual love. Unmindful who had lost or won,
 They scorned the jargon of a name No north, no south at Arlington. Between their pious thoughts and God Stood files of men with brutal steel; The garlandS placed on "rebel-sod" Were trampled in the common clod To die beneath the hireling's heel Facing this triumph of the Hun,
 Our Smoky Caesar gave no nod To keep the peace at Arlington. Jehovah judged abashing man; For, in the yigils of the night, His mighty storm-avengers ran Together in one choral clan
 Rebuilding wrong, rewarding right, Pluckng the wreaths from those who won, The tempest heaped them dewy-bright, On rebel graves at Arlington. And when the morn came young and fair Brimful of blushes ripe and red, knee-deep in sky-sent roses there, Nature began her earliest prayer Above triumphant southern dead. So, in the dark and in the sum-
 Our cause survives the tyrant's tread And sleeps to wake at Arlington.

with much dramatic action that he was

CRANK OR REFORMER
DR.. SWALLOWS DESIGNATION DE-
PENOS ON YOUR POINT OF VIEW.
He Stirred Up tho Pcnnsylvanis Politi-
cinns, and, Although Convicted of Grim
inal Libel, Received Over 100000 yotes
For State Trcasurer

One of tho many interesting features of
the recent state elections was the jump
into national prominence which the Rev.
DIR. Silus {. Swallow of Harrisburg took
when it was found that he had received
more than 100, 900 votes for the Office of
state treasurer of Pennsylvania. DR.. Swal-
low was candidate on tho Prohibition
ticket, and the normal vote of his party in
tho state is about $4,000. He even ran
ahead of the Democratic candidate. Now
he announces that he will be candidate
for the govcrnorship next year
DIR. Swallow is the SUPERINTENDENT of
the Methodist Book Concern and tho ctli-
tor of the Pennsylvania Methodist, tho
recognized organ of the Mcthodists of CEN
trail Pennsylvania. 1t was not solely rs a
Prohibtionist that DR.. Swallow made his
recent campaign, but as rcforlncr and
an opponent of what he terms "thc
BOSSES, meaning Senator Quay and tho
other Republican leaders. 1t was n most
sensational fight, and the result was n
genuine surprise not only to his oppo-
ncnts, but to many of DR. Swallows sun
portcrs as well.
AS u reformcr DIR. Swallow seems to DO
right in his element, for he is an nggrcs-
sivc spirit and dearly loves n controversy
lie Is firm believer i'll the church mill
tant. About n year ago he began his cru
SADIE against ''thc bosses" Through tho
medium of the Pennsylvania Methodist he
made many charges against state officials
alleging corruption Of various kinds
When tho state capitol was destroyed by
lire last winter. DR. Swallow asserted that
it had been set on fire in order to conceal
evidences of official wrongdoing.
When the committee of tho state senate
began its Investigation, DIR. Swallow was
summoned as Il witness. At first he re-
fused to appear and was ndjudgcd in con
tempt, but later he did appear mt the bar
of the senate and promised to produce wit
nesscs and evidence. AT the same time he
continued his attacks on Governor Has
tings and other officials. just here the
state officials made what they have since
recognized rs mistake. DR. Swallow was
indicted for criminal libel on at least n
dozen counts. Tho.trial was Il sensational
and dramatic one. DIR. Swallow had the
center of the stage. He took notes of the
proceedings and ut the same time directed
the defense. He filed the editorial columns
OF his paper during this time with scorch-
ing articles, i'll which he scored all his
antagonists from the judge down.
