The TRUMPET'S SONG.
BY CHARLES MOREAU HARGER.

by thARlst.S hOkEAI
Sweet, long and clear DER the grassy
mound
The trumpet wakes its song today.
Each veterans heart leaps at the sound,
Thrilled by the memory of its sway.
At dawn it gives cherry call,
Awake, awake, We heroes true
A tented field responds, and all
In hope their patriot pledge renew
Ii Swells again on morning breeze,
Now shrill and strong, now tender, low.
70 drill and mess it brings with ease
The men DER whom its accents How.
And then the brazen shrek, ''Io arms"
The deadly fire, the smoke and heat,
Yet through the clash of wars alarms
That far flung music clear and sweet
Form and Charge" AMI Halt" it
trills.
Then back to camp the sad lines sweep,
And silence all the bivouac fills
When taps" has Iulled the boys to sleep.
And when one falleth here and there,
Stilled in the conflict or the rOut,
Above the soldiers grave prayer
And then the trumpet'S voice, Lights
OUT
80 went the day, so came the night.
QSO spoke the trumpet's silver throat,
The army felt its wOndrOus might
And fashioned fortune by its note.
Through quiet days, through changing
strife.

The UNION has thought over the
matter deeply and earnestly in an
attempt to determine where the
biggest chunk of damphoolery
comes in in this Hobson kissing
bee-with the kissee or the kissor.
Hobson, the Merrimac hero, has
sailed for Manila, but before he
left he sailed around the country,
allowed all the feminine fonlishness
to slobber over him until he dis
sgusted sensible people, called
forththe wrath Of the navy depart
ment and spoiled the glory Of the
deed which brought him fame.
Hob, old boy, is welcome to these

but he has demonstrated the fact
that there is 4 great harvest for

4 HAPPY INCIDENT.
Chairman Tompkins Presented With
Gold Watch by His Associates.

The last meeting Of the railroad
commission, as at present constitute
ed, was enlivened Friday by a little
incident which testified to the es.
TEEN in which W. H. Tompkins, the
retiring chairman, is held by his
colleagues, their sttorneys and en-
ployes.
Shortly after adjournment Friday
evening, Commissioner LaFolIette
arose and taking from his pocket Il
handsome gold watch presented it
on behalf of the commissioners, their
attorneys and clerks to MIR. Tomkins
in a few we'll chosen remarks.
Mr.LaFollette feelingly alluded to
the pleasant relations which had ex.
listed between the commissioners
during the past two years, to the
appreciation it which Mr.. Tompkin' s
ability and Judgment a. held by
his associates, to the harmony
which had always characterized the
working Of the board and to the re-
greet which his colleagues felt at the
retiredment of a royal good fellow.
As soon rs he had recovered some
what from the surprise which the
incident occasioned, Chairman Temp.
kins accepted the gift in a few
words of thanks.-Sioux Falls Press.

During 1898 there were IS great
labor strikes IN the United States
involving a total CT about 10000
persons. Nine of the thirteen
strikes we're caused by an attempt
ed reduction of wages. A fair re-
cord for the year which Dun and
Bradstreet class as "the most pros
porous year since 1S92.'

upheld the ~lawlessness of moneyed
corporations, from a defiant and
systematic robbery Of the masses
down the list to murder, itself. But
the statement is a fact just the
same. For proof look at Home
stead, at Pullman, at Hazleton, at
Pana and at Virden. And the
leaders who dared stand by labor
in its struggle for its constitutional
rights as against the aggression of
trusts and corporations were jailed
and fined for their part in the trag-
edy. Were ever the corporation
magnates who have precipitated
these tragedies arrested and pun
ished? Think of the matter a
moment.
True, the strikes and lockouts
referred to have been accompanied
by more or less lawlessness and VIC
lence. There is law to meet thus
phase Of the case and it should
ever be energetically applied, but
what Of those whose greed, in
justice and oppression has precipi-
tated these strikes and ]ockouts?
Where is the justice of applying
the penalty of the law to one party
to the tragedy and allowing his
equally guilty partner TO 60 un-
punished?
If there is one danger in this
country that today threatens our
institutions it is the tendency Of
the moneyed interests to set the
will Of the people aside and defy
the laws of the land. The sane
tion of these policies by the courts
Of the country has aroused in the
breasts of the people a spirit of re.
sistance to this aggression which
is growing at an alarming rate.
There are those who close theil
eyes to the real situation and de.
clare that it does not exist, buj
this cannot change the facts in the
case. This condition does exist
and it presents a problem which
sooner or later will press itself foI
solution. There will be no dodg
ing it. AS all other important is
sues, it will be postponed, but i
must ultimately be met face to face
md ended by a righteous solution

and NOR. aggressive in their meth
DDS Of defying the laws of the
country and trampling under foot
the popular will Of the people is a
fact which needs no proof. There
is no politics about the matter.
The fact as stated is self-evident.
The recent attempt to prosecute
the Standard Oil concern will serve
as an example. Books of the con
cefn which, if introduced in court,
would win the case for the prose
cution and bring this gigantic oc-
topus under the ban of the law for
once at least, were BURNED by the
faithful and we'll paid employees of
the oil trust. Destroying the evil
dence which would have brought
a conviction, the oil magnate
laughs at the law as he sees the
case come to n1ught. What is
the law to him? What cares he
for the constitutional rights of his
countrymen? He has defeated
the law in its every attempt to en-.
force it's rights, and as for the con-
stitutional rights of the people,
they mean nothing.
The enactment of the Palmer
railroad law by the last Legislature
will serve as another example OF
corporation defiance of law. That
the people of this state were being
robbed through freight rates and
passenger fares was a fact admitted
by all. The statement has never
needed any proof as to its truth
When a new law is passed the
average individual bows to the
will of the people as expressed in
that enactment. Not so with the
corporations. The law is dehed,
the old rates of robbery are con.
tinued and the expressed will Of
the people e at naught. 1t is a
sort of "the people be damned
policy. The law is fought out ir
tine courts, aor does the contest tc

That the corporations usually VIII

+ facts that must be admitted.
Whether money or corporation in
, huence has anything to do with thu
decisions in such cases is entirel,
another question. But the com
plexion Of these decisions nearly
all being so uniform is significant
to say the least.
Corporations, as we'll as individ
i, ual citizens, have the right to ties
in the courts of the land the con
stitutionality Of all acts pertaining
to the pursuit of their business
1t is not the exercise of this RICH,

ployed to defeat it; it is their con
tinual trampling under foot of pop
