and eleven. whose bones were gathered
from battlefield and lane and thicket
where they had died unattended and IN
known. Unto all those who gave TO their
country their nfe's full measure Of de-
votion. regardless OF rank or influence.
we pay today our hearts respect
Cover them over. Oh. cover them over.
Parent and husband and brother and
Crown in your heart those dead heroes
of ours,
And cover them over with beautiful
flowers "
All. grander is doom-stricken glory
Than the greatest that Iinger behind.
They shall live in perpetual story
Who saved the last hope Of mankind
For their cause was the cause Of the
races
That lanquished in sIaverys night.
And the death that was pale on their
faces
Has filled the whole world with its
light
To the clouds and the mountains We
breathe it.
To the freedom Of planet and star;
Let the tempests OF ocean enwresthe IL.
Let the winds Of the night bear il far.
our pledge: that till manhood shall per
ish.
Til honor and virtue are sped.
We are true 10 the cause thai they
cherish,
And eternally true 10 the dead.

almost unanimously voted down in the

This action on the land question in

THE PRESIDENT SUSTAINED,

The first legislative step forward la
been taken towards the repeal If thos
laws which the president in his mes
sage TO congress characterlzes as hav
ing been so perverted from the inten'
ton with which they were enacted a:
to prompt the acquisition of large ar.
eas OF the public domain for other thar
actual settlers, and the conseQuen
prevention of settlement"
The senate committee on public lands
by close vote recommended the pas
sage Of the Quarles bill repeating tbs
timber and stone act, the desert hand
act, and the Communication clause of
the homestead act.
The following declaration of this
report which was prepared by Sena-
tor Gibson, of Montana, will stand
forth as startling announcement and
scurprise 10 the people Of the country
who have believed that Uncle Sam still
holds in reserve an unlimited supply OF
lands suitable for homes for the future
children OF the United States:
If our present system of land
acts is continued five years
longer, the entire public do .
main suitable for settlement
win be exhausted, and there
viii he no land left for our peo
pie who desire to make homes
upon it.
During the first 20 days of
the present fiscal year, 6,10s,-
900 acres of government land
were fled upon. Should this
increasing ratio be maintain
ed. between 25 and 80 million
acres VIII be taken from the
public domain the present fis-
cal year
About 500 million acres are now left
of the public domain, but a small pro-
portion only of this area can ever be
made into productive homes; it is lar
geIy composed of mountain and gulch,
incapable of irrigation or cultivation.
The land laws as they now stand were
drawn during time when the public
domain was almost an unlimited guam
tity, but the time has come, in fact,
it had arrived many years ago, for the
repeal of these laws and the saving Of
the remaining lands for actual settle
ment by the people.
The senate committee report says:
INSTEAD of following the injunc-
tions Of President Jackson. Lincoln,
Grant, Cleveland, Harrison. and
Roosevelt, we are making all pos
sibla haste under our present most
unfortunate land acts to turn over
to wealthy men and corporations
this rich heritage of the people.
The population of the United Stat
