Our Honored Dead.

How sleep the brave! the honored dead
Who for their country fought and
bled,
ga calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbrolzen by the last of foes,"
While comrades hold their memory
dear
By scattering flowers each circling
year.
We honor those who wore the blue
The loyal "boys" to country true,
Who, standing forth at freedoms call
Enlisted life, and home and all.
The soldier band with heart and hand
Has freed from slaves the father land.
Then raise the stars and stripes on
high,
Unfurl the banners to the sky
For those who died mid battles din
The cause of liberty to win,
And shout their praises one and all
Who for our flag were first to fall.
OF parting anguish, who can tell,
When leaving those the loved SO we'll;
The mother sister, loving wife
Were wrapped about the soldiers life;
Then DER their graves the flag we'll
wave,
The flag they gladly died to safe.
Their graves are green. their forms
are dust,
Their guns and sabres turn to rust:
And breast works largely covered o'er
With trees six inches through or more;
With pick and spade the fame they
made
Can never in the dust be laid.
Twice twenty stars, and more, 'tis true,
Are shining from their field of blue,
Recounting deeds of valor brave
BY those who fought these stars to
save;
The stars in blue, the states so true
Are singing, hero, praise to you.
Recounting deeds of starving men,
The captives held in prison pen,

of the larceny Of q barrel of whisky
which was in the custody of the Great
Northern road in its storage-room.
The barrel of bourbon was consigned
TO Devils Lake, and when it arrived at
the station the consignee had not the
money to take possession of it at once.
So it was stored away under lock and
key until he could raise enough cash
to take it.
A month passed, and finally he got
some 5000, and triumphantly he and
the road representative went after the
big barrel. The door was locked, and
when it was finally thrown open, the
two men took hold of the barrel to
roll it outside. They were prepared
for the weight to offer some resistance.
1t did not, however, and the two men
went sprawling over the floor of the
room, the barrel mixing up with them.
In surprise and wonderment they
raised themselves to their feet, and
upon examinatioa of the barrel and
the floor discovered that hole had
been made through the latter into the
former and the contents drawn off.
The. matter was reportsdsto the road
at once and its special dstectives put
on the case. This research resulted
in the arrest of Hevener and a man
named Immogen. It was found Nt
that these two men had made their
way beneath the floor of the storage
room and had then bored through the
floor and into the barrel. There was
a clear case against Hevener and I'm
mogen's trial is not over yet.

The Jamestown Conference.

ference held at Sanborn May lS and
10, was, by common consent, one of
the best ever held. The number of
delegates from the churches was not
large, probably owing to the busy
season, but there was good attend
ance Of the ministers among whom
were number of new men. The pro-
gram, which was made up of pratical
subjects, was carried out with few
changes. The papers and discussions
showed clearly that the pastors are
alive to present day problems and are
fitting themselves to meet them.
q Rev. E. S. Shaw was chosen moder-
ator and Rev. G. III. Phillips, of
Jamestown, scribe. The next meeting
will be held with the church at Oberon
with Rev H. e. Compton, of Fessen-
den, as preacher. The following
items will be of interest to Courier
readers: The presentation of the
work of ''Our Scandinavian Churches"
by Rev. S. M. Andrewson, resulted in
resolution calling upon our Home
Missionary Society to appoint a gen.
eral missionary for North Dakota and
Suggesting the name of Rev. L. J..
Peterson, of Fargo. Mr.. Andrewson
was granted q license to preach for
one year. The carefully prepared
sermon by Rev. o. P. Champlin on the
text, care ye not Carnal?" was a
strong plea for deeper conservation
on the part of all Christians. The
Sunday School Missionary Work was
ably presented by Rev. Stickney who
is renewing his youth doing pioneer
work in the new towns of north Min
nesota in connection with his work in
North Dakota.
The Free Parliament on Home Mis-
sions as we'll as the eloquent address
on the same subject by Rev. Phillips,
chairman of the state committee, en-
phasized the shortage in funds for the
work and the need of larger sacrifice
by both pastors and people in order
that the work may not suffer. A re-
solution of appreciation of the efficient
and self-sacrificing of Rev. Simmons
who closes a period of fifteen years as
superintendent this month and here
after devotes his entire time to the
presidency of Fargo College, and also
one of welcome to Rev. J. L. Maile
who begins work in his place June 1st,
was given. Mrs. Taylor, of James
town, read an excellent paper on ''The
Social Side of Christian Endeavor'. ].
and Mrs. Phillips one on ''Woman's 8
Missionary Work.
The committee on systematic bene-
ficience recommended that each church
secure an offering for each benevolent
society and present the matter to the
people before doing SO.
Prof. behring's strong address in
the interest of Fargo College received
merited praise. Prof. Deering will
be heard in Cooperstown before long.
The Sanborn people entertained roy
ally and were appropriately thanked
by the moderator.

THE WARLIKE SENATE
A Resolution Recognizing the Cubans as
Belligerents Passed by Decisive -,
Vote.

By vote of Al to IA, the senate of
the United States has passed resolution
recognizing the Cuban insurgents as bel
ligerents. Senator Hawley made an en-
phatic protest., but the sentiment was all
the other way and the announcement
of the vote was received with tumultu-
Gus applause. Both Davis and Nelson
voted in favor of the resolutions which
is given herewith:
"Resolved, that condition of public
war exists between the government of
SPAN and the government proclaimed
and for some time maintained by force
of arms by the people of Cuba, and that
the United States of America shall main
tain strict neutrality between the con-
tending parties, according to each all
the rights of belligerents in the ports
and territory of the United States.''

A LIVELY CUBAN DEBATE
Gong gresham Bailey Charges the Republi
cans with Trying to Evade
the Issue.

The Cuban question occupied the at
tention of both houses Of Congress on
Thursday. At the same time that the
senator voted for belligerency res"lu-
lions, the house passed the resolution
| appropriating $4,000 for the relief of
American citizens who are now starving
on the war-besieged island. Effort was
made to force consideration of the SEN
ate resolution in favor of recognition,
but it would not work. In the debate
on this point, Congressman Bailey, the
Democratic leader, said, addressing him.
self to Speaker Reed and the Repubi-
| cans:
You declare that Americans are suf-
fering from the effects Of war in Cuba,
and yet you refuse to recognize that war
exists in Cuba. If war does mot exist
there the United States should declare
war, for nothing but the necessities of
war can justify penning up American
citizens and starving them.
The attitude of the house would be a
surprise to the republican masses, he
continued, fol the republican convention
not only declared that war. existed, but
that it was the duty CT the United States
to terminate that war, protesting solic-
itude for Cupans they now refuse to car
rY out.
Those were fine words, but in strange
contrast to your action today. Then you
were anxious to do more than the judg-
ment of the country would perhaps sane
ton. Now you refuse to do what COM
mon sense demands.
But the stock gamblers had become
alarmed, and they would rather see the
country insulted than justice done, and
the republican party was standing as it
always did--on the side of the immense
|ly rich. They might escape the question
here, but not before the people OF the
United States, for no previous question
could save them before that august tri-
bunal. The authorities Of international
law we're in support Of recognition, and
if this act brought war upon the United
States we would drive Spanish ships
from the sea and make them pay two
fold the damage they did to American
commerce. Bad as war was, he would
not have it deter the United States
from its / duty toward weak and
suffering nation. He could not forget

The trial of Asela Smith, as admins
tr ator of the estate of her brother, P. A.
Foster, versus Senator Barr, R. G. Hub
bard, the big miller, and George M. Pal
mer has been commenced before Judge
Severance at Mankato. The object of
the suit is to recover several thousand
acres of land in Martin, Yellow Medi-
cine, Redwood, jackson and Renville
counties, or their equivalent in money.
The value of the property is estimated
at from $4,000 to 100000. Foster
died in 1890, and MI. Barr was appoint.
ed administrator of the estate. The
complaint alleges that Mr.. Barr sold the
lands to the other defendants for $8,875
and that the money paid was grossly dis
proportionate to the real value of the
land and alleges fraud and conspiracy to
defraud the heirs of Mr.. Foster. The case
attracts wide attention on account of the
prominence of the defendants.

all the increased revenue upon sugar,

The Chicago Journal, a supporter Of
Mckinley during the campain which re.
suited in his election to the presidency
doesn't take kindly to his message on
the Cuban question. It remarks point
eddy: The administration might far
better have left its little word unsaid.
The situation is one that admits of no
compromise. It's one that makes such
paltering almost criminal. If we are to
intervene let us proclaim the fact in UNI
mistakable terms. If we are not, let us
inform the world so at once. Anything
is better that the uncertainty in which
we are keeping the Cubans by our mis-
cradle, indecisive, temporizing policy,
which alternately inspires them with the
highest hopes and plunges them into the
deepest despair. A course s. weak and
mischief, breeding must bring this great
nation into well-meri ted contempt un-
less there is radical change in the near
future. The hour is one that demands a
man and an American.
Senator Teller of Colorado has been
interviewed as to the probable effect of
the senate resolution regarding Cuba.
He said: "Spain cannot drive this coun-
try into war. The administration is too
cowardly to do anything. 1t is afraid
of offending Spain. The passage of that
resolution does not mean anything at all,
except that the presid ent canno control
the senate as he does the house. It will
be defeated in the house as sure as it
gets there. Reed will say it shall not
pass, Hanna will say it shall not pass,
and the trucking republicans in the
house will yield. It does not matter at
all what the private opinions of the
members may be. It is evident that the
administration is entering upon aforcign
policyl as contemplate and pusillani-
nous as that of Cleveland was. It is a
shame, but there is no help TOR it. The
people can only speak through their re-
representatives., and they are dominated
absolutely by the administration. I can
| not. conceive of any public demonstra-
ton vigorous enough to have any effect
on the presidents policy.
