Col. Edward Bulwer, OF the Royal
Welsh Fusiliers, is glad that the Vic
toria Club of Boston is to erect a
monument on American soil to the
memory of the British soldiers who fell
at Bunker Hill. He says that the men
OF both armies (the British and the
Amcrican) who fell in the battle per-
formed acts OF valor worthy OF the race
to which they mutually belonged" and
for that reason he wants them all to be
tonored, irrespective OF sides. What an

The Calm Avonree,


Bright home OF my youth, my own sor-
rowing sireland,
My fond heart oerhows and the tears
dim mine eyes
When think of thee, far distant, beau
tiiul Ireland,
And the dark seas between ME and
you, my hearts prize!
Oft do l sigh for the days OF my child
hood
When plucked the wild flowers on
~ the fair upland lea,
Or roamed the long day thro' the sweet,
shady wildwood
On the green messy banks OF the
calm Avonree.
All, me! could fly DER the dark SWELL
ing ocean
To the home OF my heart, to the land
OF my love,
I'd be up OH the wings with an eyile's
devotion
And dare every danger the dark seas
above,
Again would I roam thro' the fair lealy
bowers,
Where the boys used to drill ere
first crossed the sea,
And I'd weave Tor my Kathleen a gar
land OF flowers
On the green messy banks OF the
calm Ayonree.
Again would I hear the wild thrush i'll
his, bower,
The loud singing lark DER the deep
messy dell.
And the baclShird's soft song On the
tall wild tower
That shadows the clear springing
sweet abbey Well
Once more would hear the wild
. cuckoo's notes swelling
Along the rich valley DER moorland
and lea,
And the blithe sparrows cl,irp round
my own peaceful dwelling,
On the green messy banks OF the
calm Avonree.
But the day may yet come when I'll
see thee, soft, smiling,
~ And gaze on thee fondly, fair, beau

I may yet live to see tl1ro' the narrow
glens filing
The exiles now cast on far foreign
strand.
] may fight for thee, too, ere the trees
again blossom,
And see thee, my Erin, yet happy and
free;
And my heart may yet rest on thy soft,
dewy bosom
In a green, messy grave by the calm

friends. It is recognized that the moral
influences of the commonwealth have
been aroused to action. Multitudes of
letters and messages arriving here,
calls for mass meetings at home and a
widespread sentiment of resentment
against his candidacy have served to
convince the supporters of the Colonel
that the people cannot be ignored in
the selection of a Senator to represent
California in Congress.
The outlook for Grant is equally as
gloomy and hopeless as that for Burns.
Doodle is the one element that has ad-
vanced Grants voting strength to
twenty-seven. The proof of the bood-
ling is now SO direct and overwhelming
that no more gains can be accomplished
by corrupt tactics. The managers OF
the Grant campaign ought to compre-
hend the real facts of the situation and
relieve the San Diego statesman from
further distress in the fight. The Burns
men are firm and resolute in their de-
termination to defeat Grant In the
light of transactions no longer con-
cealed from the public gaze it is doubt
full If Grant could hold his seat in the
United States Senate if he should re-
ceIYe the requisite number of votes for
choice. The scandalous use of money
to procure his election would be the
subject of Congressional investigation
as soon as the facts were officially pre-
sented to the Senate.
It was fancied by some of the specta-
tors that the Burns men would rally
man or two on the fourth ballot, as
they made a grandstand play against
adjournment, but the play was called
by members voting against the propo-
sition to adjourn. The strength of the
Mexican was not increased on the
fourth show down Of the day The bal
loting next Monday may record some
changes. General Barnes is in a fair
way to gain a few votes. He has held
his own steadily from the beginning
and made one advance. The General
went to San Francisco to-day, but will
return to his headquarters tomorrow
evening. He is the popular man of the
hour and every change in his favor
enlists applause. He has conducted his
campaign in a spirit of friendship and
cordiality for other candidates.

to maintain his strength of twenty

The event of the session to-day was
the spontaneous and prolonged ap-
plause which followed the announce
ment of Assemblyman knights vote
for w. H. L. Barnes. 1t was common
talk in Sacramento last night and the
statement was published in the San
Francisco press that Mr.. Knights had
been stood up by the railroad in
duence controlling the Republican
County Committee of Sacramento and
compelled to desert General Barnes
cause and enroll himself for Burns.
Profound silence reigned when the
chief clerk of the Assembly called the
name of Knights. When the Assembly
man responded, "W. H. L. Barnes" the
admiring applause evinced in the clap
ping of hands vigorously was prolonged
and renewed. The members on the
floor and the spectators in the lobby
and gallery participated in the tribute
to man who had manifested the cour-
age to stand up for the rights of the
people against the trickery and bull
dosing Of the railroad gang and the
touts of Dan Burns. The approval was
not manifested by the shouts of the
rough element, but the volume and
character of the applause testified that
the good people, in their joy that this
Assemblyman had displayed in the
open the courage of his honest senti-
ments, were proud of him and honored
the record he had made for himself
and the State.
To-day the name of William D.
Knights, the courageous man who rep
resents the Twenty-first Assembly Dis
trict in the Legislature, is honored
throughout the length and breadth of
the fair State of California In the
camp of Dan Burns there is infinitely
more respect entertained for him than
for a thousand Jilsons or Wrights of
the legislative ilk Whatever may be
the political faults and failings of Dan

tribe, he says, when Bishop Selwyn
converted his grandfather; but he tells

missionary who was anything but o
toothsome morsel, as he was old and
thin, and looked rs II his flesh would
be tough. The missionary warned the
chief that he would not make good
dinner, and pulling up his trousers,
cut slice off the calf Of his leg and
offered it to the chief. The chief tast-
ed it. said he didn't like it, and passed
It to the subchief. The sub tasted 1t,

Cochran, OF New York, delivering the
Grafton Of the evening. The hall was
filed and the remarks of the orator
were greeted with approval by those
present. Mr.. Cochran based his objec-
ton to the policy OF the government on
the broad ground that one people had
no right to force a government of an
other. He discussed the question in n
dispassionate manner, claiming that
there were many reasons why the
United States should hold the islands,
but no reason Why it should attempt
to force upon any people form of gov
eminent to which that people objected.
The conference adjourned Mt the con-
clusion Of Mr.. Cockran's address. A

~ adopted denouncing the policy Of
Imperialism as hostile to liberty, as I'M
constitutional and as tending toward
militarism and the immediate cessation
