TO VICTIMS

/ sing the hymn of the Conquered, who
fell in the battle of life
The hymn of the wounded, the beaten,
who died overwhelmed in the strife:
Not the jubilant song of the Victors for
whom the resounding acclaim
OF nations was lifted in chorus, whose
brows wore the chaplet of fame,
But the hymn of the low, and the hum
ble the weary and broken in heart;
Who strove and who failed, acting brave
ly Il silent and desperate part;
Whose youth bore no flower on it's
branches, whose hopes burned in
ashes away,
From whose hands slipped the prize they
had grasped at, who stood at the dy-
ing OF day
With the work of their life all around
them, unpitied, unheeded, alone.
With death s~ooping down DER their fail
ure and all but their faith overthrown,
While the voice of the world shouts its
chorus, the paean for those who have
won,
While the trumpet Is sounding triumphant
and high to the breeze and the sun
Gay banners are waving, hands chpping
and hurrying feet,
ThronginG after the laurel-crowned vic
tors who stand on the field of defeat,
In the shadow 'mongst those who are
fallen and wounded and dying-and
there
Chant requiem low. place my hand on
their pale, knottel browS, breathe a
prayer,
Hold the hand that is helpless ana wins

Who have fought the good hGht and have
vapouished the demon thai tempts us

Who nave held to their faith. mseduced
by the prize that the world holds SO

Who have dared for a right cause TO sur

A Real Octopus.

SO much has been said of late
in the columns of fatulent afternoon
contemporary about octopuses that the
public may be interested in de-
scription of real octopus. In the
san Francisco CAN of recent date the
captain OF bark plying between that
port and Honolulu told this story of
the monster which nowadays does
such frequent service in the meta
phors of Populistic orators and jour
nalists:
It's eyes were large, of greenish tint
and somewhat protruding; its mouth,
however was not so very large, and IL
appeared TO be shaped like parrot s
bin; its tentaclCs were tapering, and,
hke its body Of grayish color, covered
with spots, 1t appeared to possess the
,hameleCn-like power of changing the
color of these spots in most eXtraordi-
nary manner as fast as the eye could
detect the changes; they varied from a
very rich crimson to a dark, dun brown
these charges. 10 doubt, indicating the
iigh state OF excitement under which the

borne in transports across the wide sea,
TO be consigned to earth by the hands
Of their relatives or friends, and finally,
that the honor Of the flag and the au-
thority Of the government have been
upheld by the army in Luzon, in way
that ought to make every right-think-
ing man proud"
This statement was made particular
ly to the Washington representative OF
the New York Evening Post, the paper
which has been most assiduousin circu-
lating the libels in question. We do
not believe that IL will stop the Post
from repeating with traitorous JUNCTION
the magnified or manufactured gossip
which does service in giving pretexts
for copperhead opposition to the gov
ernment; but It will make future repe-
titions unmistakably malicious and
prevent their acceptance by any sane
man.

Tears of happiness rose to her eyes.

Settle the Strike.

The proprlcty OF a conference be-
tween the men who are now on strike
i'm the building trades and their late
employers is indisputable. The prin-
cirals in dispute should once more
come together and see If there is not
a basis of agreement acceptable to
each. The strike has shown suffi-
cient strength on both sides to war
rant an attempt at its self-adjust-
ment Failing that the community,
which suffers most, will be justified
in insisting through public sentiment
upon arbitration.
1t is fair to the strikers to say that
they have comported themselves with
superior discretion under the difficult
circumstances which such a move
ment invariably entails. We are not
entirely sure that the strike was wise
in the first place; from the standpoint
Of the general community, upon which
the chief burden has fallen, it must
be said that the probable gains from
the strike if any, do not appear likely
to offset the certain losses, which the
representatives. of the strikers them
selves estimate at high in the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
But that is a matter now beyond
recall AS Mr.. Cleveland said, it is
not a theory, but a condition which
oonfronts us--a condition which must
be faced with regard rather for the
future than for the past. A continu-
alton of the strike means continued
loss, which must fall in some pro-
portion, on all concerned. Let an
| honest effort be made, therefore, TO
! discover in a spirit of mutual concili-
alton whether this prospective loss
| cannot be averted. If it can be and
is not averted, the persons responsible
for the failure to avert it will COM
NIT a moral crime.

HE DID NOT ATTEND.

At the recent Unitarian festival In Bos-
ton Secretary Long told this story:
During the winter | went with the pres
identlal party to Savannah, where we
were most kindly and courteously re-
ceived. Everything was done to make
the visit pleasant. On Saturday after
noon we were taken down the river, and
on returning the chairman of arrange
ments said Tomorrow is Sunday, and
you will have the day to yourselves. We
have all sorts of churches In Savannah,
and you can so wherever you wish.
Well said the president, L am a Metho-
dist and ! think [ will go to the Metho-
dist church. After the others had OK
pressed their choice l said: Have you
not some little struggling Unitarian
church here in your city?' NO was
his reply. but we have a down Epis-
copal church that is almost as bad"
