Scandal and Cause Patriots
10 Quake.

The post Office scandals have warmed
up so in the rear Of that republican
patriot and statesman secretary Of the
republican national committe and erst-
while assistant postmaster general
Perry s. Heath, that he has fallen to
explaining about his share in them.
He freely admits that there were ir-
regularities during the war with Spain.
but claims that even the postmaster
general and the cabinet sanctioned
what was done. He confesses that
large amounts Of money were used for
purposes for which they were not APP
propriated, but says that the idea that
funds were used for private use is tut
terly silly" The war with Spain be-
ing in progress the soldiers had TO be
supplied with mail, and, to put It in
the language Of the patriot Heath.
"there was no time to daily. 1t was up
to us to get busy and to get busy
quick" From the charges and rumors
Of the doings of the department. dur
ing the busy reign of Perry and the
other patriots who lowered around
him-and names high up on the repub-
lican scroll Of fame are mentioned
there is no doubt that but little time
was wasted in getting down TO busi-
ness.
The redoubtable Perry does not men
tion the irregularities in the appoint
ments and promotions but he does say
that Mr.. Tulioch. who has made some
of the charges. twas relieved by Post
master General Smith. which he had
perfect right to do" and makes fur
Their uncomplimentary remarks about
that gentleman which indicates that he
was an "obstacle" TO Perry and the de-
partment. 1t was not long after this
that Perry was fitting out the expedi-
ton to Cuba which looted the post Of
fec department in that country. in
which Hanna's friend. Rathbone, and
Perry's friend. Nicely, met their Water
loo at the hands of the ungrateful Gu
bans and were convicted of embez-
element and reposed in Cuban bas-
tile until pardoned.
/ Many republican patriots were in
deed very busy in those days making
hay while the sun shone and laid the
groundwork for most of the scandal
and disorder that is now partially COM
ing to light.

mortal Day-rhe NsttOn's
National Debt.

In 1865 occurred one Of the most i'm
pressiye and soul-stirring pagcanis
which this country has ever seen. On
he 23d and cath Of May, the armies OF
the union passed in grand review be-
fore the president and the secretary OF
war. in Washington. On tn" first day
$4,000 men Of the Army OF the Potomac
marched through the streets OF the ma
tional capital. nd OF the following day
the $4,000 members Of Sherman's army
carried their taitcred flags over the
same line Of march.
In all there were $4,000 men in that
blue tide which, for six hours on one
day and seven on the next, flowed pas I
the capitol; and on the great banner
which stretched across the front OF the
building the tired and war-worn vet
Grams read sentiment which must
have touched their hearts. IL was
their country's acknowledgment OF her
sense Of obligation to them. The words
were these: 1.-The only national debt
we can never pay is the debt we owe
the victorious union soldiers.
Today, says the Youths Companion
a thousand little professions made uT
of those same men will march behind
muffied drums and with flowers in their
hands, to decorate the graves OF the
comrades whose marching days are
done. Those who passed before the
president in the grand review OF 1885,
were mostly young men, some OF then
mere boys. The little companies which
make their way from post headquar
tiers TO the cemetery to-day are made
up of old men. Each year finds the
heads whittier, the line thinner, the steps
more feeble. Yet the loving memories
remain unchanged, the old comrade!
unforgotten, the service in their honor
unneglected.
The dignity and faithfulness witt
which the veterans of the civil war OBJ
serve this annual ceremony has mo-
been lost upon the country. The pa
thetic spectacle of these feeble oil
men marching every year under TIL
flag they once defended has touched u
all. 1t has helped US TO realize that W.
have indeed national debt we cal
never pay" and has confirmed thu
beautiful custom of giving one day IL
the year to our dead, be they soldier o.
civilian.
