The White Tent and the Green.
BY Chas. ID. Glen.


When our country was severed by
fraternal strifs
And its honor lay bleeding with fast
ebbing life,
Who came to its rescue and said, I'VE
can die.
But the flag of our country must wave
from on high."
Twas an army of boys whose white
tents were seen
All over the land, but now they ~ e
green.
They left happy homes where their
wants were supplied,
They left friends and kindred an! fair
Cupids side;
They left the old plow-share to rust IL
the field
And went forth to answer their coun-
try's appeal.
Yes, they rushed with their muskcts,
knapsack and canteen,
Their tents were then white, but now
they are green.
From the mountains, the plains aid
the valleys they came,
And throughout the Southland en-
kindled a flame
Which ceased net it's burning till VIC
try was won,
And the song of Reunion and Freedom
was sung
BY the light of that flame their white
tents were seen,
But now overhead is carpet of green.
Those heroes who sank meath the war
demons tread,
And who are now sleeping the sleep
of the dead,
Must not be forgotten; the flowers OF
May
Should deck their lone tents on Memnr-
ial Day.
Mid the bursting of sheel and the can
mons red glare
Their houses were white, but nov they
are green.
Not alone to the dead must our kind
deeds unfold,
But alike TO the living, the boys r'w
grown old;
They stood midst the strife and It's
only Gods will
That keeps them from resting out there
on the hill
They are standing on picket, majestic,
serene,
One foot in the white and one in the
green.

Trenton, May 16.-In filing an
opinion here today in the case of
William J. CORN against the Glen
wood cemetary, of Long Branch,
Vice Chancellor Stevens questions
the right of burial grounds to
claim exemption from taxation.
If there should be reversal of
psesent exemption rules, millions
of dollars would be added to the
ratables of the state. CORN who
is a colored man. sued the ceme-
terry because the final payment on
lot was refused on the ground
that the management had not
previously known he was of Afri-
can descent. He had already bur.
led child in the lot. The ceme-
tery's bylaws prohibit the sale of
lot to person of African de-
scent The court now holds that
in this case no proof was submitted
to show that Corin's ancestors were
Africans.

Mr.. Bonynge has had his long

elections inserted in the campaign

Retaliation from Republicans is
threatened on the Southern states
that refuse to permit the Negroes
to vote, and Mr.. Sharp Williams
and his cohorts are going to wade
in blood to the bride bits before
they permit the Negro to control
or congress to reduce their repre-

The whole business is crude and
is another evidence of the extreme
conservatism of the nation as evil
denced in the congressional laws.
If congress is going to supervise
campaign contributions to elections
would it be not we'll for congress
to take recognition of the fact that
elections are costly to candidates
and that it might be good for the
nation as a whole to bear the me-
cessary expenses? If the nation
took such a plunge the states
might follow suit and there would
be good reason for state and fed
eral authorities taking steps to linn

If the principle of representa-
ton according o vote is to pre-

vote would, in chosing between
two evils, prefer to get along with

QUA 7EMALA ATROCITIES.

That human life in uatemala,
Central America, is held cheaply,
and taken to crafty the mere
whim of officials in governmental
circles, as shown by the contents
of letter just received by Craw-
fordsville woman from her married
sister, is resident of that repub-
lie. The husband of the writer is
employed on a steamship that reg
ularly makes a port in Guatemala,
but owing to the orders of the gov
ernment, he is unable to get bis
wife out of the republic, for the
President has issued an order that,
for the present at least, no person
shall leave the country.
1--WE are having an awful time
here" writes the woman TO her
sister. "The President of Guate-
mala had seventy. six men shot to
death here April q, and all of
them were innocent men save
three. The president was going
to meet our new American minis
ter, who had just arrived, when
three conspirators attempted to
take his life. They were members
of his body guard. One bullet
passed through the Presidents hat
and another bullet struck and
killed his nephew, who was with
him. There were but three men
who knew of the plot, and the rest
of the guard saved the President.
He was so furious that he had all
of the body guard, together with
other persons, shot, making seven
ty-six in all.
When the men were killed the
bodies were piled on one big wagon
and were hauled to the cemetery,
two miles away. A trail of blood
could be traced from the plaza to
the graveyard. Eight of the men
shot had been in Jail since the
bomb thowing in April. Gester-
day fifteen more men and three
women were shot. Today General
Rice is to be shot. He is a fine
man, and everybody likes him.
The fathers of the guards shot on
the first day have all been shot.

ed States will put stop to this
cruelty. The half has not yet
been told. No news of the condi-
ton is allowed 10 get out. If this
letter was mailed here, you would
not get it, and am sending it to
New Orleans by my husband. We
cannot leave the city of Guatema-
la. Many of the diplomates who
come here are, upon their arrival,
paid more by the government of
Guatemala to keep quiet than
they are by their own countries.
They are afraid to tell what is 60
