The Appeal of Greece

Is Christ's banner furled forever,
Or left trailing in the dust?
Is the sward of the crusader
Left to redden ser with rust?
Is Christ's banner furled forever?
Is religion only named
To be laughed and scoffed and jeered at
BY the Moslem horde DETAINED?
Up to arms! to arms! my brother,
Hear you not the Moslems yell,
Sounding like the fiends incarnate
From the very mouth of hell?
See you not your brother dying,
Hear you not the widows moan,
Hear you not the children crying,
Are your hearts but hearts of stone?
Think not 1t will be forgotten,
And that history will not show
How bleeding country called you
Called. and you refused to go.
Were 1t for some cleaning island,
Or some fair and rich domain,
You'd be up in the saddle.
Stopping not to count the slain.
When a Christian country calls you,
You are faithless to your trust,
Standing idle while the Moslem
Smites your brother to the dust.
What aileth proud Victoria?
Will she let her goodly reign
And her brightly starred escutcheon
Be befouled by such stain?
Allah! H. II. Allah!
Oh, is that to be the cry?
Is the cross to be down trodden
And the crescent raised on high?
Awaken! all We centuries,
From your slumbers long and deep;
Let your hosts of saints and heroes
Teach us how a faith to keep.
All, what recks It as a nation
If we own from pole to pole,
If the coming years proclaim US
Having neither heart nor soul?
So to arms! to arms! my brothers,
Fling Christ's banner to the sun
With cry for Christ and freedom,
And the victory Is won.

With CAP ana sword


With Cap and sword
With martial air. to fife and drum,
Adown the sheltered street,
The mimic soldiers marching come.
With dust lbesprinl<lsd feet
Now, pause awhile Life's busy hum,
Our future heroes greet!
My stalwart boy. with cap and sword
And sash 30 grandly worn.
Dost know what fiery hail was poured
When these were ,bravly borne
Amidst = battle-maddened horde,
Where quivering limbs were torn?
Tell me about the war" he cries.
When evening shadows red
Send birdlings home. and homeward hies
MY boy with golden, head,
Tell me how Grant won victories.
Before haste to bed!"
And then tell the tales he told
Who bore that battered sword,
Where on the craven and the bold
The rain Of ruin poured
Tell how the flags with starry fold
Between the dead were lowered!
How in that hail Of hell and hate
His chosen comrade died:
How in the morn he told his fate.
And death was glorifed;
(While at the hurried meal they sate)-
0, he was true and tried!
Wide wonder in those open eyes
And did grandfather kill?"
The quavering voice all earnest cries:
did he some hearts blood spill?
All. that is why he often sighs,
When all the house is still!'
He knows not. but small, Questioning man,
The prison house was dark,
And hope was shivering, cold and wan,
While comrades. stiff and and stark.
Were hurried in the prison van
To graves no name should mark!
And then cease the tale. while 10!
The martyred ones arise
Young faces, bearded not the glow
OF patriots in their eyes
Alas, no May day tributes strew
The grass which o'er them dies!
~
They left to us the sacred trust
To follow where they led
Though nameless lies their sacred dust.
Ny boy with golden head,
Thy grandsire's sword with years Is rust.
But Honor is not dead!

Sixth street is one of the most Travelled

Sixth street is one of the most travelled
Of any of the city cross streets except the
short blocks between Broadway and
Main from First to Fourth. 1t should
be, by reason of this, we'll paved and in
good repair at all times. Yet its cond.-
tion is disgracefully bad, and driving
over its worn and damaged pavement
is attended with positive risk. There are
many other streets that are in poor con-
dition, but Sixth street should be re-
garded as an emergency case to be at
tended to at once. Strangers passing
along this thoroughfare must inev-
itably gain poor opinion of our munic-
ipal enterprise and civic pride.

Joined the silent majority. Still con-
gress does not lack picturesque features
to make an occasional green spot in
the dreary desert of senatorial courte-
sy. Deboe-$lOo,oOO Deboe of Kentucky
has stepped into the breach, and has
taken upon himself the congenial role
and soft snap of the Sleeping Beauty of
thunders Of senatorial oratory were
making the hard worked echoes Of the
senate chamber hump themselves to
keep up, the brand new gentleman from
Kentucky leaned back in his chair and
sought communion with the sleepy god.
Morpheus responded quicker than con-
trolling spirit when it's medium has been
given a fat fee. It was scene for sew
eral painters
What dreams may come in such an
hour none but the eomnolent senator
himself may ever know. Perhaps vis-
ions of Deboe with the eloquence of
Clay. Deboe with the irresistible logic
Of Webster. Deboe with the biting sar-
casm Of Calhoun, filled the vacancy of
the chamber of the mind and made
pleasant dreams. Perhaps Deboe in the
presidential chair-but let US not in
dulge in extravaganza.
The senator was destined to a rude
awakening. A page punched him in the
ribs as hard as senatorial courtesy
would allow. The world went round and
round again. The page delivered the
card Of a Kentucky constituent who was
after postoffice. But all the office
seekers in the world could not rob the
senator Of the blissful visions of that
blessed half hour.

A great many people have wondered
why General Merrittt the ranking major
general, was not called to take the COM
mand of the army while General Miles is
absent in Europe, instead of General
Brooke. The Omaha World Herald ex-
plains the matter after this fashion:
Once upon time Secretary Alger was
general in the union army. In July
1864, it was recommended to the presi-
dent that Alger be dismissed from the
army in disgrace and Generals Sher-
man, Sheridan, Custer and Merritt con-
Cured in the recommendation. Sher-
man, Sheridan and Custer are dead and
General Merritt alone survives. He is
the only living general whose name
adorns a recommendation now on file ir
the war department that Gen. Russell
A Alger be dismissed from the army in
disgrace" While General Alger is en-
gagged in paying the debts of the Repub-
lican party, he is at the same time feed
ing fat the ancient grudge he bears
against man who did his duty.

Blessed are the poor for they shall

Blessed are the rich, for they shall
be made richer, and shall taste of the
good things Of this world.
Blessed are those who expect moth

ed.
Blessed is the campaign liar, for he
is my main dependence.
Blessed are the weak, for they shall
be kicked OF the face of the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger, for
they shall have plenty of company:
Blessed are ye when men shall re-
vile you and persecute You for my
sake, for you shall eat official pie at
my hands.
Blessed is the man that shall bring
me another bottle of ale. for this one
is all gone.
Blessed is the man who contribut ID
to the campaign fund, for he shall re-
ceiVe an hundred fold more than he
gave.
blessed are the politicians, for we
are in the same boat.
Blessed is the thief for he shall
have abundant opportunities t.

Your political father.

An Unconstitutional Augmentation

An Unconstitutional Appropriation.
The last legislature appropriated
S2,4OO for the payment of teachers
at the Orphans Home, payable out
OF the general school fund. When the
warrants for teachers salaries we're
presented to Treasurer Westerfeld
for payment out of this fund, he re
fused to pay them ON the ground that
the act appropriatlng money from
this fund was unconstitutional. The
teachers brought suit in the Supreme
court to compel the Treasurer to pay
the warrants. The Supreme Court
rendered decision Friday sustain
ing the Treasurer in his refusal to
pay the warrants out of the general
school fund. The salaries will now
De paid out of another fund and
everything will be lovely with the
teachers at the Home. The Carson
News says that at che start Treasurer
Westerfield was severely criticised for
his action but to show that he had no
feeling in the matter he generously
offered to pay the costs Of the suit.
