the most magnificent that can be imag- ined. No one of US who was present on that day will ever in his life behold again scene so grandly impressive or so stirring. It typified in every sense the final desperate struggle of barbar- ism against civilization, Of dogged, fierce, unreasoning fanaticism against tEe mas=ed triumphs of modern science, the ultimate protest Of brute-bTave ig- norance against discipline. The der wish cohorts advanced, rolling forward over the desert as a tidal wave might roll, CT a huge prairie fire sweep over the plain. Their countless banners swayed as they moved, their great broaa-bladed spears g!eamed innumef- abIe-a sheet Of silver in the sun. Their leaders. on small, swift horses, flashed to and fro across the front of their lino; here and there, dotted conspicuous be- fore the face of the host, wild figures leaped high in air in a frenzied war dance: the moaning of their war horns, the thunderous throbbing of their drums, the hoarse persistent roar of their battle shout, blended with the harsh rsiterant crash of their rifles, rent the air like storm, and the tow ering wall of dust above them, with the filIny sheet of gray-brown smoke, that thinly yelled their front, made g fitting frame fer the most wonderful pictura that European eyes have ever locked on.
 Gorgeous, however, as was the spec tacle, and much as one admired and longed to continue gazing at this bar barrie onslaught, the fact that these men were in deadly earnest could not long ba-not ignored, fer none ignored it-let us say, dallied with. Soon the Camerons and the LineoiIs opened at 1,200 yards range, and ah, what a mar vel is cordite. It makes hardly any noise and no smoke, and the only sign an observer hal Of the rapidity and continuous duration of the fire of our Lee-Metfords was when he saw the men in tho firing line rushing back to the reserve, dragging their hot rifles by the slings-they could no longer hold them-and exchanging them for cool weapons

Executive Department, Office of the
 Governor. Phoenix.
 To perpetuate the memory Of a great patriot. and as a slight evidence of the love and gratitude all Americans feel for the name of that noble Frenchman who, in the dark days of the Revolution, did so much for freedom and independence, it is proposed to erect . monument to Marquis De Lafayette. to be unveiled during the great exposition at Paris in the year 1905. The idea of erecting a monument over the grave of Lafayette as a tribute of this great nation is being received with earnest and patriotic en- thusiasEn everywhere. It is conducted un- der the auspices of the committee ap- Pointed by the Commissioner Of the Uni ted States to the Paris Exposition, and it's supporters and agents include mem hers of the National Government, the Chief Executives. and those most closely connected with education in the various States of the Union- The plan adopted is to obtain the funds to defray the cost of the monument from the school youth of the United States. 1t is believed that the children of this country will be glad to have, and should be given, an cpportu- nity of doing honor to General Lafayette.
 l am sure that the youth of Arizona who are being educated cannot be ex- celled in noble resolve and patriotic purpose. and that in the ful!ress ct their gratitude to the hero who befriended their country in it's hour of need they will respond most heartily to this worthy object.
 Wednesday, October 18th, being the ar niversary of the fall of Yorktown, an event in which General Lafayette bore a conspicuous and honored part has been named as an appropriate day for receiv- ing contributions from the students in the higher educational institutions and from the scholars in the city and district schools.
 Now, therefore. I, N. 0. Murphy Gov ernor of Arizona. recommend that Wednesday, October 19. 1898, voluntary contributions be made Of a small amount by each and every one of the young pso- pie who can afford to give; and l further recommend that the Honorable Superir- tendent of Public Instruction take the matter in charge. for the purpose of per fecting whatever organization may be necessary for receiving and receipting for the contributions, which are to be re- mitted to the Honorable Charles G. Dawes, Comptroller Of the Currency, Treasurer of the Monument Committee, at Washington.
 in testimony whereof I have hereurto subscribed my name and caused the great seal Of the Territory of Arizona to be hereto affixed the 3rd day of October, A. D. 1898.

Reverence For Valor.

Let this he our anniversary of reverence
reverence for fortitude patriotism, lib
erty, union, for the supreme surrender OF
home, happiness, life and love which those
who died in these wars endured. They
had faith. They died for their faith. No
higher tribute can fall upon their graves.
With them, for us at least, there is no
death, no departure, no separation. These
honored dead are with US as when we
cheered the resolute column which went
sweeping to the wars. They will pass In
review before the shades of their mighty
captains as they did in the old days. What
they did is our own. Their achievements
are our heritage. Their valor is our pride
Their example is legacy beyond that of
ransoms or principalities The one tribute
we can pay them is in the veneration with
which we approach their graves. And
from this veneration let US likewise take
and cherish that noblest lesson of patriot
ism for which they gave their lives.-John
Russell Young.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1898-05-25

l have only a word for those cavillers
who would credit all sorts of small motives
to the speechless dead. Granting the
truth of every pettines5 that can be
pointed out, yet we are nevertheless in a
position to say of each of them: Gle
wrought better than he knew" We do
not say, because the feet are unconscious
of where the will directs them. no credit is
due them for running an errand of mercy
Shall we belittle the eye that guides the
hand to a righteous act, just because both
are mere servants of the self within, and
because both eye and hand could under
other circumstances be partakers of evil?
No. And furthermore who among us
can dare to sit in judgment on motives. A
look within and fair analysis of our most
holy acts will reveal mixture of good and
evil intention, seltshness and self efface-
ment that would be positively bewildering
We're it not so truly human. We all are
day by day releasing forces OF influence
whose might we cannot measure, and we
ofttimes share in great forward works
without any conscious interest in them.
1t will be well with us if our legend of
praise, like those we honor, shall be that
we wrought often in darkness and doubt,
as If in mine but Time has brought the
full value of our work to light.

Whose Fault Is It?
A Local Occurrence that Interests
Many Readers in Ellsworth.

If, when fog horn warns the mariner
to sheer off the coast, he still hugs the
shore and wrecks upon it, whose fault is
it? If the red switchlight is up and the
engineer deliberately pulls ahead and
switches into another train, blame the
driver. If careless workman will in
spiteof warning try to find out how many
teeth buzz saw has, and the saw tries to
lind out how many fingers the workman
mas, blame the workman, not the saw
If sick man knows that a certain medi-
cine is doing him good and he carelessIv
neglects to use it, blame the man, not the

kidney complaint and backache, will not

The Brave Color Bearer.

A giant color bearer, with voice like a
bull, saved the day at the battle Of the
Weldon railroad. The fighting had been
Of the hottest, and in spite Of themselves
the Union soldiers steadily had been driven
back. The officers had striven desperately
to rally them, with no success. Suddenly
the big color sergeant waved the flag above
his head and began to sing. Rally Round
the Flag, Boys!" The men caught the in
SEPARATION. One after another they caught
up the refrain until all were singing.
They fought like fends as they sang, and
they forced the Confederates back.-Ex-

Do these acts OF ours even interest the
dead? Who can tell? But one would
think that IL, in conscious life beyond the
signing OF earth, they are able to estimate
deeds at their right valuation, the greatest
and the bravest Of them are regretful that
dred fold more than they did either in
living or in dying for their idea. Your
little token of appreciation may perchance
please them, but it cannot do for them a

citation can do for us.

| Animals look on the dead-even those of
their own kind - and soon forget or
scarcely notice. But we sentient beings
return after the silent glidings of many
| years, of centuries even, to look on the
places of the dead and to honor them
| Why? Because the death of the doer of
deeds among men stops his doing but does
not stop the effect of the deeds he did.
The truth of this is apparent in moment,
If we reflect as we glance downward to the
turf-covered mounds at our feet, that be-
cause these men had beliefs and lived
them out we are able to stand around them
united in one great national whole. The
bodies lying there have rest from their la
bors, but the labor remains, and greater
things than they did shall we do, because
human labor is cumulative and because we
live to carry on what dying hands have
dropped.
Human progress is like the growth of
the printing press from the slow simplic-
ity of the lever and screw up to the COM
plicated mastodons that thunder out hui
man thought more swiftly than the eye
can follow. The machine is made up of
infinitely small improvements by an inf
mite number of mechanics, each one add
ing something to the work of construction
that had already been effected.
Thus it is with our national life. Our
revolutionary heroes died to make ma
ton. Time passed and showed that
strength was in union. Our heroes of the
late war died to keep that nation insepara-
bic forever and forever. Again the years
rolled on over period Of expansion unex-
ampled in the history of the world. Now
is the time when we inheritors of the la
bors of these motionless bones at our feet
go one step further, and declare that
nation born in noble strife, baptized later
in it's own precious blood, has risen to the
stature of man and breaches to great
selfish world new evangel-that nation
great in its own development, great in its
triumph over trials, great in its prosperity,
is not too great to be deaf to vail of woe
from its weak neighbor, and is not too
proud to cast its own offering on the altar
of another's liberty, though that offering
cost dear in the money of its men and the
sons of its mothers.

Come now, what particular reason have
we for decorating the graves of the dead?
Let not our reason be that we are follow
ers of custom! That partakes of the un-
rehectiveness of the savage who merely
initiates when he adds another stone to the
cairn that he passes. 1t is ours rather to
realize that this season of decoration has
meaning; that its chief actors are people
who think and who use flowers and cere-
monies merely as surface indications OF a
deep heart feeling.

Our Country's Heroes.

Long years ago an army vast
Went forth to do and die.
Their deeds are graved on history's page,
While low their bodies le
Their country asked them for their lives
They did not answer nay,
But from their homes and friends and kin
They hravely marched away.
Beneath the flag Of freedom we
In peace repose today,
And mid the folds of Rlory's flag
The gentle sunbeams play.
A loving north and loyal south.
United, mourn our dead
And gaze with patriotic pride
AT stars and stripes o'erhead.
