Some Plain Truths

The New York Evening Post
is one of the newspapers which
cannot be deferred from expres-
sing it's convictions as to the
wisdom and justice of our new
policy of conquest in the Phi
ippines. AS the Post says the
American bosom used to heave
with anger and pity at the
spectacle Of Cuban reconcen-
trados; what will it do at sight
of our own in the Philippines?
Nothing atall Really, our SYM
pathy was so drawn upon by
Spain's victims that we have
none eto devote to our own. There
is, in fact, a growing indifer-
ence and callousness observable
in this country in respect to
everything that goes on in the
Philippines, as well as in Cuba
and Porto Rico. The newspa-
pers are tired of the whole thing,
the people will not talk about
it, anybody who still calls atten-
tion to the cruelties committed
in the name of liberty is voted a
bore, or that-awful being, a pes
simist. The American people
are optimistic, we are given to
understand. So they are, as re-
spects all this business, but it is
in the sense of Candide's
famous definition of optimism
a mania for maintaining that
everything is well when it is
really i'll. Our invincible optim-
lists do not want to be bothered
with tales of wrong from our
far-away possessions. Every
man is busy with his farm OF
merchandise, and will not listen
when you tell him that we are
now doing what we raved
against the Spaniards for. doing.
oh, nonsense; I don't believe itl
Anyhow, it's different. This is
not the reconcentrado policy;
this is pacifcation. Besides,
don't you see that the dispatch
says that the inhabitants favora a
"drastic policy" towards the in
surgents? That makes it all
right. Yes, that's what Weyler
said in Cuba. He did what he
did at the special request Of the
Cubans. We know however,
that the. truth was not in him;
but if you say we ourselves are
lying about our reconcentracion
you are not a good American.

The Atlanta Journal says in Rhode
Island there is an average Of one d.
vorce for every eight marriages. A good
deal Of useless formality and expense
might be saved by merely adopting G
sort Of probationary system whereby
couples can take each other. not for bet
ter or for worse, but until they can
fnG out the diference-on trial, as it
vere-without calling for tie sacrs-

about it. Certainly the percentage Of

A BEAUTIFUL POEM .
''s;vcuac Of the Dsad," Create ST
Martial Eulcgy Ever Written.
ITS AOAPTlON WORLDWIDE.
Written by Theodore O'Hara In
Commemorafion Of the Gal
lartry OF the Ken
lucky SoIdiery.

Lake Providence, La Banner Democrat.
Having lately seen a beautiful trib-
uFe to Theodore O'Rars, author of the
immorta! poem, THE Bivouso Of the
Dead, ard as OHaIa was my personal
friend and assistant in the Adjutant-
Generals cfice Of the Kentucky d.
vision, commanded by NJ sjor. General
Brecker ridge, I take pleasure in send
ing you an extract from the article
with the full poem, which I have car,
ried in my notebook ever since the war.
It is worthy of record that this son
Of the south produced the one perfect
and universal martisl eulogy that the
world has known aud that the south
has been absolutely unmindful Of this
fact. The first Of these statements is
proven by the fact that without any
advertisement or explorations, the
wonderful words have, in the fifty
years since they were written, per
meated the whole world, and been laid
hold on by Eoglish-spesking people
everywhere, to celebrate their honored
dead who passed away in battle. Upon
Cliuean battlefslds, the resting place
Of Eaglish heroes is marked by great
monument, on which shines ORara's
ma,chless words, and yet England did
not know from whom she borrowed
when she wrote them:
"On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round,
The biveuac Of the dead
Perhaps the anonymous character Of
the poem was a blessing, since. it is
dc ubtful if the Federal government of
the United States would have used the
lines in such lavish fashion 10 i'm.
mortaliziDg the dead of the Union
Army, had they been recognized as the
product of the genius of soldier and
cficer Of the other side. In any case,
they did not know, and every natioral
cemetery in America has gained there
by, since they are not only the most
appropriate but the only appropriate
lines for such purpose.
Over the gateway cf the Dational
cemetery at Washington the famous
frat staDza is engraved, and there, as
at Antie,am and other national GENE
teries the entire poem ia reproduced,
stanzs by stanzs, on alabs placed along
the driveway.
O'Hara lies in the buryirg ground at
Franksfort, Ky, With only the lasc-ip
tion on simple slab Of marble which
says:

name ofeash commissioned officer but
of each private in the company. It also
gives the date Of enlistment and dis

THE B1yoUAC OF THE DEAD

written by Theodore O'Hara in 1841
The muflrd drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No n ore on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen feT
On fame's erDsl camping ground
Their silent tents are spreai,
And glory guarr 8, with solemn round,
The bivouac Of the dead.
No rumor of the foes sivance,
Now sWells upon the wind:
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
Ofloved ones left behind;
No vision of the MORO US strife
The warriors dream alarms:
No braying horn nor screaming fife
At dawn sh, II call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust,
Their plumed heads are b0wed;
Their naughty banner, trailed in dust,
Is now their martial shroud,
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, by battle gsshed,
are free from anguish now.
The neighing troop, the flashing blade,
The bug!e's stirring blast;
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout, are passed;
Nor wars wild note nor glory's peal
shall thrill with fierce delight
These breasts that ne7ermore may feel
of Tho S,hf
Like the fierce northern-hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Came down the serried foe.
Who heard the thunder of the fray
Break DER the field beneath,
Knew well the wat, hWord Of that day
Was "7ictory or DEATH
Long had the doubtful conflict ragged
o er all the stricken plain,
For never iercer fight had waged
The yengeful blood Of Spain;
And still the storm of battle blew,
Still swelled the CORY tide;
Not long our stout old chieftsin knew
Such cdds his strength could bide.
Twas in that hour this stern command
Called to martyrs grave
The flower of his beloved land,
The nations flag to save.
By rivers Of their fathers gore
His first born laurels grew,
And we'll he deemed the sons would pour
Their lives for glory, too.
Full many a norther's breath has swept
Der ADgostura's plain
And long the plying sky has Wept
Above its mouldered slain.
The ravens scream or esgle's fight,
Or shepherds pensive lay
Alone awakes each sullen height
That froWned Der that dread frsyful.
Sons Of the dalk and bloody ground,
Ye must not sumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues resound
Along the needless air.
Your own proud lands heroic soil
Shall be your filter grave;
She claims from war his richest spoil
The ashes Of her brave.
Thus meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field,
Borne to Spartan mothers Breast
On many q bloody shield;
The sunshine Of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The heroes sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead!
Dear as the blood ne gave;
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The herbage Of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps;
Or honor paint the ballowed spot
Where vslor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrers 7oiceless stone
In deathless song shall tell,
When many vanished age hath flown,
The story how ye fell.
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters bligt
Nor times remorseless doom,
Shall dim one ray Of glory's light
That gEdes your deathless tomb.
