The Old Soldiers.

In contrasting the two generations
of soldiers represented in yesterdays
memorial exercises, let it not be for
gotten that while the young soldiers
of the war with Spain merit all the
praise which they have received, the
debt of the nation to the "old soldiers
is still unextinguished and inextin-
guishabe. They made it possible for
the United States to retain and main
tain the magnificent vitality in q cause
of humanity which brought victory
so swiftly in the recent passage at
arms. But for them, there would be
no majestic republic, supreme among
the nations of the western hemisphere
and eXerting today an influence in the
determination of the worlds great af-
fairs second to that of no power on
earth.
The wisdom of their achievements
Is conspicuously attested by the very
men of the South whom they opposed
Time has wrought no grander vindi-
cation of the doctrine of national unity,
as championed by the veterans of the
iiuN, IMAM 10 SufpliNN ~ US Li"hh
CeptanCe by the representative veter-
ans of the Gray under the impetus
of the new patriotism inspired by the
conflict with Spain, We need today
cast no reflection upon any section;
we need bark back to no old topics of
dissension; but as chroniclers of i'm
partial history we must take the ac-
tions of the South itself as establish
ing beyond controversy the prudence
and the benefits of the extinction of
secession. The differences of the
past may have been inevitable; the
heroism and the fidelity on both sides
constitute a common glory; but the
present, with its reunion of hearts
and hopes. is the seal of posteritys
approval upon what the "old soldiers"
did, and recognition of that fact is the
Northern veterans Just due.
All honor, then, to the men of whit
ened locks and enfeebled tread who
marched in yesterdays review and all
honor to their comrades whose work
on earth is done!

A BIKING BALLAD.

Lord scroggins he rose from his balmy
sleep,
And he saddled his horse of steel.
He muttered a VOW of import deep
As he sprang on his plunging wheel:
II will speed me east and will speed me
west,
Nor ever cease from my ladye's quest,
Till find her, for woe or weal!'
The ladye stepped from her silkcn bower,
And she was q gay ladye!
For naught but a great composite flower
Could rival her braveree!
With her bloomers red, and her knlcke-s
tan,
She looked like link between monkey
and man,
As she hied her over the lea!
Lord Scroggins he saw that ladye ride
Astride in her naughty state
And he airily cried, as scorched to her
side
"Do l find thee at last my Fate?'
But she wrinkled her nose with scorn
divine
"Sir Fossil, avaunt from path of mine!
For the wheel that I ride is a '99,
While thine is a '9S."
Blanche T. Heath in Detroit Free Press.

To secure the Endorsement of the Re-
publican caucus the winning candidate
for the speakership must poll SO votes.
Thus far only three state delegations
have decided to go as units for the cam
didates of their choice. Representa-
tive Hopkins is sure of the Ia votes
from Illinois and Representative Hen
derson has Iowa and Wisconsin, II plus
10, or II in all The friends of Hopkins
claim of the votes from Kansas. a
claim which, if true, would put Hop
kins and Henderson neck and neck,
with the latter one vote ahead Should
Representative Sherman succeed in
solidifying in his behalf the votes of
New York. New England and New Jer-
sey his strength would reach a total of
Al, or with the addition Of the one vote
from Kansas already announced as his,
A. IS less than a majority. Pennsyl-
vania, ohio and Michigan could, with
one scattering vote, supply this void;
and while there is some talk of op-
position to Sherman in New York and
Massachusetts, the chance that the
threatened detection will become seri-
Gus is generally considered remote.
on the other hand a concentration
of the votes of the group of states
known as the Middle West upon one
man, either Henderson or Hopkins,
would result in an easy victory for that
man, there being in the states of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, North
and South Dakota, Michigan and Mis-
souri, exactly SO votes, the number re-
quired to elect. The man who comes
within 10 TO 20 of this figure will, by
the very momentum of his candidacy,
be likely to win out, through the crawl
tation 10 his standard OF members
anxious to land in the victorious camp.
Should the Pennsylvania delegation
decide to vote as unit. its 20 votes
would obviously be influential. Whether
1t could command the speakership for
one of its own members is as yet un-
certain, although stranger things have
happened; but it certainly could in any
event by unanimity hold the key to the
situation.
