The IRISH Brigade at Fair Oaks.
believe that while it lasted the firing
at Fair Oaks was unsurpassed in the
campaigns of Virginia. The battery
was not actively engaged until the close
of the highland then one section was
sent forward to shell the retrcatine
enemy-but was held in readiness
about one mile in the rear Of the actual
conflict. which was hidden from view
by thick but narrow belt of woods.
We could follow the fluctuating for
tunes of the day by the way the fire
advanced and retired. accompanied by
the solid cheers of the men, and the
sharp, continuous yell of the enemy.
Presently the fire came nearer, and
with an increased crash on the other
side and n perceptible slackening on
ours. In few minutes stragglers and
wounded men began To emerge from
the timber. The first brigade of our
division was being driven in. Gen
Sumner sent in the next brigade. How
ards, and with this fresh force the fire
again resumed its full volume, reach
ing the climax of this battle.
A nearer approach of the fire. another
lull in our direction. and wild yells
meant a second repulse. and now we
saw General Sumner ride up to the
Irish brigade but bare quarter of
mile to our right front
We saw his hat go off and his gray
locks barred as he evidently made
short speech, probably the only one of
the old hero's life. We learned after
wards that lie told them they were his
last hope; If they failed him all was
lost; but said he. I'll go my stars on
you," pointing to his shOulder-straps.
Il want to see how IriShmen fight. and
when you run I'll run too" \ hearty
cheer greeted his last words. and the
brigade moved into the woods with the
air of men who are going to stay. A
fresh crash showed when they struck
the enemy. For few minutes the fir
ing was deafei.iEg, then it began to re-
tire. The yells gave way to continuous
cheers; an aid galloped up to order a
section of the artillery to follow our
advancing line. and the battle of Fair
Oaks was won. 1t was an inspiring |
opening of heroic history, and from
that day General Sumner swore by the |
Irish Brigade.-Captain Edward Field, |
Fourth Artillery.

PROSPERITY AND CONFIDENCE.

The prosperity which the ReDubli-
cans promised the country would fol
low their success at the last election
| has not yet materialiZcd. and ii is now
generally conceded that no legislation
| at Washington is likely to bring it on.
| for the very good reason that it is not
within the power of Congress or the
| President, or the two together. to do
so. The campaign talk about its ad-
vent was based on either deep ignor-
ance of the situation. or was deliberate,
downright lying.
There is no doubt that the real cause
why business does not pick up, as the
Republicans claimed IL would with the
election of their candia rs, is that there
is the same lack of confidence in the
future that existed two years or more
ago. The scheme to re-enact the high
Mckinley tariff does not strike the pub
lie as particularly wise. and few stu
dents Of the conditions existing
throughout the world can see any benc-
fit TO be derived from it. Such n policy,
they perceive. will only have ten
dency to keep alive an agitation that
should have been quieted long ago.
The financial situation also has not
been improved through the success of
the Republicans. 1t is only too appar-
cnt now that the party leaders only
used the sound-money cry in order to
fool enough voters to enable them to
carry the election. They have no intel
ligent policy as to- the future, and there
is 10 telling to-day. any more than

ton at st. Louis. as to what they will |
try to do with the banking and cur |

If the Republican party were united, |
and had any broad views as to the
needs of the country, it could doubt
less do a good deal toward restoring
confidence, the lack of which its lead
ing men are still bewailing. Its ele-
mentS are rot sufficiently harmonious,
however, and it has so few ideas be-
yond those needed to satisfy the spoiis-
seekers and the monopolists that even

into believing in its claims to a liberal

In 1896, as in 1876. they were learning
the new political issues: in 1900, as in
1900. they will emphatically adopt
them.
As the Democratic Presidential con-

our party leader, so the Democrats of

capacity which augur well for the con-

the keynote against the Dingley tariff
bill. and has placed himself and his
party upon ground on which we all can
stand in opposition to its principle and
to its details. The following one of
his utterances is maxim. 1t deserves
to be remembered by every citizen who
takes an interest in public affairs:
Il was taught to believe that ecOnO

is not only burden upon the taxpay-

eXtravagant government to avoid be-
coming corrupt government as it is
for spendthrift TO preserve either his
