 The muftied drums sad roll has beat
 The soldiers last tattoo!
 No more on lfe's parade shall meet
 That brave and fallen few.
 Many are the hearts that are greving to- Thinking of the vict'ry won
 Many are the hearts seeking for the way,
 To join the heroes gone
 Waiting to-day, waiting to-day,
 Waiting in this old Camp Ground. On Fame's eternal camping ground
 Their silent tents are spread,
 And glory guards with solemn round,
 The bivouac of the dead.
 Chorus
 Rest on embalmed and sainted dead.
 Dear is the blood you gave i No imDiouS footsteps here shall tread
 The herbage of your grave.
 Chorus Nor shall your glory be forgot
 While Fame her record keeps,
 Or Honor points the hallowed spot
 Where Valor proudly sleeps. r. Address-The Unknown Dead Brother Eugene Toomey.

 The words of the song 'Tentng on the Old Camp Ground to be used at these exercises are selections from the poem by Colonel Theodore O'Hara, read at the dedication of the Soldiers mOnu- ment at Frankfort, Kentucky Colonel O'Hara, who fought in both the Mexi- can and civil wars was journalist as well as a poet; and was for some time editor of the Mobile Register. He died at Columbus, Georgia, in 1867. This poem is honored by being placed verse by verse, in large iron frames on the borders of the burial grounds at the Ma tional cemetery at Arlington. The chorus of this song was written for this occasion by a member of Nathan Hale i camp.

SHOWED THE WORK DEFECTIVE.
Gaynor Hearing in the Savannah
Harber Scandal.

New York. July i6.-The proceedings
brought to remove 20 the jurisdiction OF
Georgia the case against John w. T. and
L. ii. Gaynor and BENZ. ID. Greene. accused
of conspiring with Captain Obsriin NJ. Car
ter TO defrsud the Government In the mat
ter OF the Savannah Hsrbcr improvements,
were continued to-day before Commissioner
Shields.
j. W. Osterly. who was chief clerk in the
engineers Office under Captain Carter and
who holds a similar position under Captain
G. Z Gillette. continued his identification OF
certain records from the engineers Office.
Captain Gillette testified that contractors
signs of the fascine mattresses furnished
by Captain Carter. He said that there was
no apparent reason why the style OF mat
tress used In the construction work at Cum
creased In price from sl.4o linear foot un-
der Carriers predecessor. General Gilmore
TO s. so q linear foot I'm the bid made to Car
ter by the Atlantic CONSTRUCTION Company.
When the exhibits were all in Captain Gill
lette said he took charge in Savannah on
July 90 1887. Some ten days later he started
TO Inspect the work doing on the Currber-
land Sound. He found the contractors. the
Atlantic Construction Company. were living
UP 10 the specifications.
He described in detail the method of brush
mattress construction carried on by the
contractors and submitted photographs OF
the defective work.
The balance of the session was taken up
by the Introduction by MIR. Erwin and the
description by Captain Gillette OF mattresses
and buttresses and other methods of dam
ming construction
The object of the testimony was TO show
that when no exact form Of mattress was
specified the Atlantic Construction Company
was permitted to do the work in the manner
most economical to themselves. The hear
ing will be continued tomorrow.

IT is PRICELESS BLOOD.

American public sentiment will justly
and righteously demand that China
shall be held TO a full and ine1orabie
and the crime against civilization con-
tanned In the massacre of the foreign
legations In Pekin.
The most vigorous action OF the ma
tional administration TO this end will
meet with the approval OF the American
peopla. There will be no question Of
party In a consideration Of the duty
Of this Government in China. Such duty
is too plain to be misunderstood and too
sacred to be performed In a half-hearted
or inadequate manner. China must be
punished, and the punishment must be
propordonate to the enormity Of her Of
fense.
But the plotters for Empire should
not rejoice prematurely over this SEEM
ing advantage to their cause. The SOL
emn national duty Of enforcing retri-
button for the Staying Of United
States Minister Conger, his family and
others of the American Legation in Pc
kin must not be degraded into a land
grabbing bargain for the extension Of
the new American Empire desired by
the McKinleyites. The blood Of muir
dered Americans must not sbe used as
coin Of Empire or made the excuse Of
a further betrayal of the Republic to
Empire.
China must atone for her sins. Her
chastisement must be Of such a nature
as never to be forgotten by her savage
and bioodthirsty people. 1t must be as
the judgment of God-an eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth. God forbid,
however, that IL shall take such shape
as will lead US to say in future years.
pointing to American imperial possess
siOns in China, This is the profitable
deal we made as our price to China for
the killing Of Conger.'

UNEARNED ADVANTAGE.

In the response of President McKin-
ley 10 the Notification Committee the
principal events on which lie based 4
claim TO reelection were those which
happened during his term without his
cooperation or assistance.
I'VE have lower interest and higher
wages; more money and fewer mort
cages; prosperity at home and prestige
abroad" he said.
These facts will undoubtedly exercise
q marked influence on those persons
who believe that business conditions
are controlled by Federal adminis;ra-
tions; who believe that the United
States Government can give to all the
population high wages and active trade.
AS matter of fact, the Mckinley ad-
ministration had no more to do with
the lowering of interest rates and the
raising of wages than il had 10 do with
the recent eclipse of the sun. Natural
causes, which Mckinley could not have
held back had he been 50 minded, pro-
duced these results.

RATHBONE AND JEFFERSON.

Imperialist Rathbone, who was re-
warded for his services in helping to
make Mark Hanna a United States Sen
post In Cuba, where he was enabled to
do business to such an extent that $780,
600 Of his accounts are now under sus-
picion, lived in truly imperial manner
while iOrding 1t over the Cuban natives
1t is plain that Imperialist Rarhbqne
was of the pure kidney Of Empire. With
a helpless people from whom to exact
tribute he placed no limits to his lavish
expenditure for personal luxury. Even
In fitting out his carriage, a truly i'm
periaI chariot, he was content only with
4 royal. outfit that cost, all told, the
princely sum of "a, ,449.O7. 1t had coach
man and footman, position and all, and
Solomon In his glory was not arrayed
like unto these spectacular hirelings Of
Imperialist Rathbone. The coachmans
jipijapa hat alone. we are told, cost
$12.3S.
This all comes Of your Republican
dream of Empire and the power and
gorgeous state of Empire In the good
old Democratic days when Thomas JEFF
ferson rode his horse, alone and unat-
tended, into Washington. tied him to
a fence and then quietly and simply
took the oath of Office as President of
these Uuited States, American servants
of the people were not expected to ride
In $4,000 carriages with royal retinues
and coachmen wearing $123S jipijapa
hats. They thought more of the duties
of office then than Of its possibilities Of
loot and luxurious display. They glo-
ried, not in imperial sumptuousness and
extravaganza. but In republican simple
ity and economy. They were servants Of
the people and no better than the peo-
pie.
1t is Empire that produces Rathbones
and $1,000 coaches and footmen and
eoachmen with $12,3s jipijapa hats and
corruption and looting and the mis-
government and oppression of weaker
peoples. Do we want any Empire In
ours? Isn't the old Republic, with men
OF the Thomas Jefferson stripe, better
and nobler than the new Empire, with
men Of the Rathbone stripe?

seek to betray the Republic to Empire.
1t Is to this parting of the ways that
President McKinley's surrender to the
temptation OF Empire now brings the
American people. No consideration OF
party fealty can legitimateiy prevail TO
influence an honest and loyal American
vote. The Republic is in danger. 1t is
threatened with betrayal to Empire. 1t
must be saved il government Of the peo-
pie by the people for the people is not
to perish from the earth. 1t can only be
saved by removing from power in the
Government the men who are seeking
To betray it TO Empire. Save the Re
