PEACE IN new ORLEANS.



Works Wonders.
Peace and order raigns in New Or
leans, only one disturbance being re-
ported throughout Saturday. This
was an old negro woman being pelted
BY a gang OF boys for making ineen-
diary speeches. The courage and com
fidsnce OF the negroes has been re-.
stored. The result was brought about
by two causes-the vigorous and ener-
gstic action Of Mayor Cspdeyille and
the killing of the negro desperate,
Robert Charles, who caused al the
trouble. ss's ,a' az ts9p
The mayor increased the number Of
his special police to ] 500. This was

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1900-10-11

A Washington correspondent of the
IOaCG State Register says: Colonel
Dick Root has called my attention to
the villainous utterances of William
Jennings Bryan, November IS, 1892,
attacking the veterans of the Civil
war, saying that their claims of gov
eminent aid were not honorable, and
saying: Zone cannot help being Curl
Gus to know how many more years it
will take to exhaust the generation
which feels itself injured by the war
1t is safe to say that never did gen
Grafton display such longevity"
Mr.. Bryan said: THE next Con-
gress will have to wrestle with one
deficiency of $36,000,0O0. This is on
account of pensions. The appropria-
ton for pensions for the next year
will not be less than $150,000,000. 1t
is, therefore, easy arithmetic to per-
ceive that the appropriation which
Congress must make for pensions at
the next session must aggregate not
less than $1s6,OOO, 900. This tremen-
dous sum itself would be enough to
run a reasonable government. One
would not complain if it were an hon
orable debt, but large proportion OF
it is not debt, because it was never
earned by any act of patriotism or
heroic service. The government is
held up and despoiled of no mean
portion of this, and it seems helpless
to defend itslf. One cannot help be-
ing curious to know how many more
years it will take to exhaust the gen
Grafton which feels itself injured by
the war. 1t is safe to say that never
did generation display such long
evity.'
At the time Mr.. Bryan sent forth
that Copperhea6 hiss the Washing
ton correspondent of the Hdackeye
wrote few lines about the Union
veterans, which Frank Hatton
clipped, head-lined and reproduced
in the Washington Post, as follows:

Old soldiers, stand together like

world see you the long roll be beaten.
Let the bugles blow once again.

Tenderly, dearest,
Soul that is nearest,
Here in the nighttime call me to thee
Oh, for the vision
Fields of Elysian--
Spirit with spirit wandering free.
Star beams are dancing,
Moonlight is glancing,
The wind and the wave with kisses entranc-
ing,
Laughing with gladness,
Free from all sadness,
Tell me her spirit is softly advancing.
Night is no sad time,
Even glad time,
When the moon and the stars are cleaning
on high;
Nightingale glorious,
Singing Victorious
My love, oh my love, thy spirit is nigh.
Now the winds shiver
Down by the river,
The mists and the tide are in from the sea;
Here at the crossing
Dark waters tossing
Soul of my soul am coming to thee.
See the lights cleaning
End of all dreaming
Angel to angel with radiance beaming;
Brighter and fairer,-
None that is rarer,-
There in the bright light steadily streaming,
Beckons the dear one,
Ever the near one,
Heart of my heart awaiting for me.
After the nighttime
Cometh the bright time
Spirit with spirit wandering free.
