Rudyard Kipling.

God of our fathers known of old
Lord. of our far-fiung battle-line-
Be.eath Whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts be with us yet,
lest we forget-lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and the kings depart:
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Far-called our navies melt away
on dune and headlands sinks the fire.
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with NineVeh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
If drunk with sight of power we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe
Such boasting as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the law
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard-
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not Thee to guard
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord!
Amen.

Justice Brewers Position.

Boston Transcript.
Justice Brewers position is in virtual
harmony with that which Senator Hoar has
taken and so splendldly maintained. He is
out of the drift and sway of those forces
which have carried so many public men and
private citizens, good and bad in each off
their feet. He is not an old fogy, traitor
or a little American" but a distinguished
citizen and patriot, WHO loves his country
too well to be allured by the greed of gain
or the tinsel and pomp of empire.

Combinations, as such, have ceased to re-

had inspired in the public that the savings
in expenses and the advantages which would
follow concentrated effort would bring about
lower prices, more satisfactory service and
better quality of goods, but, on the other
hand, prices have been put up, competition
stifled and a small army of employees sent
adrift to compete with those in other lines of
business, the producing and distributing de-
partments of which are already too we'll

How is it that the new county attorney
has now four deputies drawing money
out of the county treasury when none of
his predecessors had more than three
except temporarily to attend to petty
business arising from the crowds drawn
by the exposition? If one county
attorney and three deputies have been
able to look after all the county's legal
business up to this time, why should the
force now be increased at the expense
of the taxpayers?

tee of the Dewey celebration, are
changed the G. A. r. organization will
not be represented in the parade. 10.
seph W. Kay, department commander
Of the New York Grand Army of the
Republic, yesterday sent letter to
General Roe declining the invitation
for a number Of reasons. These are
in brief that the G. A. r. forces have
been placed at the end of the pro-
cession, instead at the head of the
column; that General Roe has taken
no cognizance Of Commander-in-C Chief
Albert D. Shaw. and has sent him no
invitation to any Of the functions;
that the invitation for the @. A. r has
been extended at second hand through
Colonel H. H. Adams, and that Gen.
eral o. o. Howard has been placed in
command Of the G. A. R. forces on the
day of the parade, contrary to the
regulations of that organization.
The officials Of the G. A. R. con-
suited with Mayor Van Wyck recently,
and he expressed his approval of the
change they demanded. Governor
Roosevelt also was in favor of the
change.
General Roe. in his final refusal to
alter the position assigned to the
Grand Army, said that the parade
would be in every sense military one,
and that according to regulations such
an unarmed body of men as the G. A.
r. cannot march before a body of men
bearing arms. The q. A. R. officials,
however, claim that the parade is in
no sense a military one, but civic one
General Roe now estimates that
there will be 200 men in line.

FATAL FIGHT IN A BANK.


Two Participant VIII Probably Die.
A Septuagenarlan's Bravery.
Palatine, Ills, Sept. 21.-Frederick
]. Filbert, the aged cashier of the Pala-
tine bank. will probably die as the
result of an attack made upon him
yesterday by young man who gives
the name Of Walter Lawton. The lat
ter, who is unknown to anybody In
Palatine, and apparently Of good edu-
cation, Is in the county jail in Chicago,
suffering from a bullet wound in the
abdomen which will doubtless prove
fatal. Henry Plaggo, 70 years old, a
farmer, whose Intervention at the crit
ical moment prevented the outright
murder of the cashier, is at his home,
west of the village, cut and bruised
and disabled as result Of his strug-
gle with Lawton, whose motive for the
assault, according to his repeated
statements, was not robbery. He de-
clares that Filbert alienated the affec-
tions of his wife at New York hotel
five years ago. Filbert declares he has
not been in New York for 20 years.
Mr.. Plaggo heard the racket and
rushed into the bank to see what was
the matter. He boldly attacked the
intruder, who was beating Filbert
with tack hammer. During the
struggle between Plaggo and Lawton
the latter's revolver was discharged,
causing Lawton's wound. The police
believe Lawton intended to rob the

he NAY COME TO THIS COUNTRY.

A Liverpool Dispatch Says the Par
doned Frenchman's Luggage Has Ar
rived There, and Is Addressed to New
York-He Can Live But Few Months
Paris, Sept. 81. Captain Alfred
Dreyfus arrived at Nantes yesterday
morning from Rennes, accompanied by
his brother, Matthew Dreyfus, the
chief Of the secret police, M. Viguier,
and one policeman. The party trav-
eled as ordinary passengers. The train
reached the station at SIT a. m. The
Dreyfus brothers alishted on the plat
form first, followed by M. viguier, who
inquired II they could have a private
room. A waiter replying in the az
firmative, the brothers entered a room
and ordered two glasses Of milk, while
M. Viguier and the policeman remain
ed outside in the public bar.
Inquiry was then made concerning
the Bordeaux train. which, they were
informed. left at 1858 a. m. All four
then entered first class compartment,
in which there were already other
passengers. It was intended, by thus
refraining from any attempt to secure
privacy, to avoid exciting curiosity,
and this apparently succeeded. M.
Viguier and the policeman only went
as far as the first stop, Vertou, whence
they returned to Nantes to catch an
express for Paris. leaving the broth
ers to continue their journey alone. It
Is believed the Dreyfuses alighted at
an intermediate station to take
fresh start in an unknown direction.
His present whereabouts are unknown.
The Aurore publishes the following
declaration from Captain Dreyfus:
1.-THE government of the republic has
given me my liberty. But liberty ia
nothing to me without honor. From
today I shall continue to seek repara-
ton for the frightful judicial error of
which l remain the victim. / wish
France to know by definitive judg-
ment that l am innocent. My heart
will only be at rest when there re-
mains not single Frenchman who
imputes to me the abominable crime
perpetrated by another"
Dreyfus is SO Ill that he can live
only few months. The government
has promised to watch over and pro-
tect him, and has recommended that
he live on the Rivera. 1t is not uD-
likely that he will accept the villa Of
fered him during the trial by the
Prince of Monte Carlo.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived from Liverpool: A quantity of
luggage has arrived here from Havre
and Folkestone. addressed to Nine.
Dreyfus, and rooms have also been
taken at a local hotel The luggage is
marked for New York, and 1t is sup
posed that Dreyfus is going to America.
