Kinsman! we hear your voice,
We answer true, all hail
To Briton's isle from the land of our choice,
Our message goes as our hearts rejoice
And we don our coats of mail
To follow the robbers trail
The lords of the strong young land,
answer the lords of the main
And they say take now our strong right hand
To be severed no more in twain.
proud free people we both shall stand,
For answer of wrongs the weak demand.

We blot from record each ancient trace
OF strife that time may well eface.
by our starry flag we swear.

Heroes that conquer before the mast;

True as the blue in our colors clear;
Wherever our banners sail,

Senator Lindsay, one of the few dem
ocrats who favor issuing bonds, instead
of fat money, made this patriotic reply
to Senator Tillman's inquiry as to what
kind of money would be paid for the
bonds to be issued: "The bonds issued
will be sold for money as good as gold.
and the funds so raised will be used to
pay the boys who are TO be sent to Cuba
to face Spanish bullets and yellow
fever. Our credit will be as good as
gold; and at the end of the war we will
have conducted it on the very cheapest
possible basis. We may become in
voved with continental powers, and
the time may come when we cannot go
farther on coin basis. either gold or
silver, and when we will be compelled
TO come TO the issue of greenbacks.
When this time comes, whatever neces-
sity demands will be done. 1t will be
done without complaint. Those who
are alive at the end Of the war will be
charged up with the debt But we
cannot promote that state of affairs.
We cannot discredit ourselves at the
very outset by resorting TO a currency
which is IN the nature of forced loan,
by issuing notes payable on demand
and putting no money in the treasury
to pay them upon demand.

Senator German exploded few
bombs in the ranks of the anti-bond
silverites in the senate in a speech he
made in favor of unfolding the hands
Of the government by authorizing the
issue of bonds, and opposing the issue
Of either silver certificates or green
backs. After calling attention to the
fact that no war had ever been fought
without an issue of bonds, and ex-
pressing the opinion that none was
ever likely to be, Mr.. German ex-
ploded his heaviest bomb by saying
that if the senate refused to authorize
bonds, the president would be com
PEELED TO issue them, as soon as he was
bound to have money, under the law

Society leaders in New York and
Washington have pledged themselves
to buy no more French millinery and
gowns. They are angered by the tone
of some of the French newspapers on
the war question, and propose to stop
patronizing France at least until the
war is oyer. The wives OF many mem
bers OF congress approve Of this and
propose TO confne their trade to Amer
leans alone. 1t ought TO have been
started years ago. The fad of buying
abroad has been carried too far and
should have been checked long ago.
The so-called society woman Of the
land who think they must buy their
garments and hats abroad are disloyal
TO the land in which they live.

M'GRAW MURDERED
IN DENVER TODAY
Cable Car Conductor Shot On
Market Street
HIS SLAYER WAS ARRESTED

Denver, April 9-Stephen Nc
Graw, city cable car conductor,
whose home is at No. 1915 Cali
fornia street, was shot and killed
at Thirty-eighth and Market
streets this morning at about 8
o'clock by Joe Plant.
Plant was arrested at once.
Plant was switchman on the
cable line. He had for some time
nourished i'll feeling against his
victim and threatened to kill him
the next time his car came down.
He deliberately shot him down
and then stood over him and fred
two shots in his body.
The murdered man leaves wife
and two children.
The trouble between the men
arose over the collection of a fare.
Plant, who was drunk wanted to
ride free and the conductor would
not let him do SO.

AMUsEnENTs

AT the Presbyterian church last
night the Denver University Glee
club furnished an excellent enter
tainment to a crowded house. 1t
was wholesome amusement, re-
freshing by its contrast with the
senseless and often vulgar ranting
of the dissipated actors in cheap
shows, of which Florence has far
too much. The Varsity boys pos
sess most pleasing voices, show
evidence of careful training and
have much dramatic ability. Since
their appearance here last year
Professor Wetzel, director of the
department of oratory, has been
added to their company and he is
a very strong acquisition. His
readings last night varied from
intense tragedy to dialect humor
and his Interpretation was excel
lent in each. The delicate shad-
ing and artistic modulation of his
acting in "Friacomo" was espec-
tally remarkable. There was not
the least strain or affectation
about it, and the same cultivated
art was observable in his reading
from Henry V. On. the other
hand his humorous numbers were
worthy of comedian and they
brought down the house. The
Glee Club sang several new selec-
tions and some of the old favorites.
Nearly every number was encored
deservedly. An apology was made
for the absence of one of the prin-
cipal soloists, but it was not neces-
sary, as the entertainment was
most satisfactory. One of the best
features was the burlesque on the
methods of comic opera which
concluded the programme.

neadstones For Old Soldiers

That republics are not altogether
ungrateful is exemplified today by
the fact that a consignment of

of old soldiers buried in this vicin-
ity.
The names that will thus be per-
petuated are as follows. The
headstones will be set up in few
days:
Samuel Phillips, Co. A, Fourth
Kansas volunteers. w. A. Crabbs,
