THE CONQUERED BANNER
(BY FATHER A. j. RYAN,

(BY FATHER A. J, RYAN,
Take that banner down, tits weary,
Aud it's staff is dropping dreary-
Furl it, hide 1t, let it rest,
For there's not man to wave 1t,
For there's not soul to lave it,
In the blood that heroes gave it
Furl it, hide it, let it rest.
Take that banner down, tits tattered,
Broken is its staff and shattered,
And the valieEt hearts are scattered,
Over whom it floated high.
Oh, tits hard for US to fold 1T,
Hard to think there's none to hold it,
Hard that those who once unrolled 1t
Now nust furl 1t with sigh.
Furl that banner, furl it sadly;
Once six millions hailed it gladly,
And three hundred thousand madly
Swore it should forever wave;
Swore that foeman's sword should never
Hearts like these entwined discover;
That their flag should float forever
Der their freedom or their grave.
Furl it for the hands that grasped it
And the hands that fondly clasped it,
Cold aud dead are lying low;
And that banner it 10 trailing,
While around it sounds the wailing
OF It's people in their woe.
For, though conquered, they adore it,
Love the cold, dear hands that bore it;
Weep for those who fell before it;
Oh, how wildly they deplore 1t,
Now TO furl and fold it so,
Furl that banner-true tits CORY,
But tits wreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story,
Though it's folds are in the dust,
For its fame on brightest pages
Sang by poets, penned by sages'
Shall 60 sounding down to ages,
Furl its folds, though now We must.
Furl that banner-softly, slowly,
Furl it gently, tits holy,
For 1t droops above the dead.
Touch it not; unfurl II never;
Let it droop there furled forever;
For its peoples hopes are fled.

Congressman Lewis has returned
from Washington City and has already
begun here the campaign Of mssrepre-
sentasion which he inaugurated sev-
erai months ago. He is not content to
present his own acilieyements--wha
ever they may be-but seeks to win
glory by arroga,ing 10 himself credit
for the work done by others.
Some OF his statements are false IN
their application. although ingenlously
designed SO as 10 have basis OF truth.
This is conxpieuously the case with
congressional appropriations for Seattle
and the state. They were made, It is
true, but almost every one he mentions
as IL the result OF his congressional
work was made before he became
n1eraher. The facts are So notorious AZ
10 most OF them that his presensions to
having had hand in them reach the
sublime Of egotistical audacity.
Taking them in the order In which
he recites them. he inferentialiy claims
credit for several sums as follows:
AN examination Of The river and harbor
bill passed al the December session will
show taat Seattle received $4,000 for her
canal. Tacoma $1,000 for her water i'm
proveuaents. Everett .-o.8N. ami What
CONS appropriation fer her canal con-
nscting with the bay was left unsettled
with an excellent prospect for Slaeo APP
preparation"
As matter Of fact there was no river
and harbor bill passed at the last ses-
sion. The $25.0to for Seattle was appro-
priated during the F'ifsy-third session.
before Lewis Was a member.
Not one dollar was appropriated for
Tacoma during Lewis term.
Not only did Seattle receive the s25.-
600 before Lewis was elected. but $780,
600 had been secured for the canal be-
fore Lewis was elected. and the money
has been lying ready ever since. only
awaiting the settlement of right-of- way,
now before the courts.
Everett, received her so, 900 tn the
Fifty-fourth congress. before Lewis
was elected. and $4,000 had been appro-
priated for the same place before he
was elected.
There was no appropriation made for
the Seattle army post by congress, but
Secretary Alger set apart the necessary
sum from the amount placed at his dis
posal.
Spokane received s40. 600 for her army
post: bat even Lewis viii scarcely pre-
tend that 1t was through his efforts 1t
was obtained.
Whatever credit Is due Lewis he
should have. but he is only strutting in
the honors owed TO others when he
claims credit for any one If the meas
ures which he recitcs as having becn
due to his efforts. II is "a paitry moral
theft but all the people canEot be
fooled all the time.

roueouS that they might b described
Is absolutely false One u the most re-
snarkaoIe instances az this Is TO Be
found In Chshaiis county. where tbs
report OF the auditor ID 30 misleading
that. thanks TO an analysis made by
the Monteszno vseetfe. the people are
indignant.
The county tax levy Tor 1897 under
Pos'ulist rule was ss4.7ss q. while under
Republicans the levy FOR 1888 was only
.s.s42 g. an increase under Popuiist
government of 3s.i5o42
The auditor claims In his statement
that there has been great economy. but
what use Is that economy which costs
more for the same services The an
aIysis Of the statement made by the VI
Gette shows increased taxes. increased
expenses and increased county indebs-
edness.
One Of the means by which the COM
parative statements have been rendered
misleading IL very striking. On octo-
Der 3, 1884, a general fund warrant OF
the county was issued. No warrant
vas thereafter issued until April /.
1896. A period OF one year and six
months elapsed during which no war
rants were issued on the fund, because
the county had reached the legal limit
OF Indebtedness. and the Republican Of
flclals refused to issue more warrants.
Nevertheless, the courts had to be kept
open and The business Of the county
transacted. The officers consented to
act and take their chances OF payment
when the county was able to make 1t.
On the first day OF April, 1896. the coun-
ty was again within the limit Of in
debtedness and the county commission
ers issued general fund warrants for
the year and six months during which
no warrants had been issued.
The Populist auditor humps those
warrants with the warrants for 1886,
and then compares the warrants for 1897
with the total Thus he makes the ex-
penditure for the year ending June 80.
1886. 1853, 47s34, while that under the
PopuIlsts for the following year was
only siT.94s.S4, making an apparent saw
ing OF $15.55i.
AS a matter Of fact. the total actual
expenses under fusion were $55.o69,s7.
the auditor having omitted SIZE %,
which, through the failure of the county
commissioners 10 meet. did not appear
until after June 80 while the actual
expenses in the Republican year were
So, 6seS9, or a saving of 1850. As in favor
OF Republican administration.
There was a reduction in the total OF
salaries during the first year Of Popu-
list administration. but it was due to
the action of a Republican administra-
ton the year before.
This is the way Populist SURPRISES are
made Ut.
