Now a reunited nation joins TO bless the

Though forgetful of the living who have
likewise fought and bled.
Hats are reverently lifted to the heroes
lying here;
Lift them 10 the living beroes-hail them

Not for long will they be with U.s. soon
each regiment will be
Tented here beneath the blossoms OF the
land it helped to free.
But to-day tie drums are mutiied and
the flag at half mast waves.
Keeping green dead heroes memories as
the grass above their graves
Still another weary winter shrouded In
the snow they lay;
Now we bring them crowns and garlards
of the loveliest blooms of May.
Let them rest in honored slumber, while
their praise, from shore TO shore,
Eighty million throats are swelling-we
are free forevermore

TARIFF FOR REVENUE
URGED BY CARNEGIE
IronmaSter Declares Need
for Protection of Most In
duStries Has Passed.

NEW YORK. Nov. 3.-Declaring that
IL is the duty Of Congress to make de-
cided changes in he tariff, and point
ing out where these changes would be
most beneficial. Andrew Carnegie. in
the December issue Of the Century Mag
azine, advocates tariff for revenue, but
not for protection.
Mr. Carnegie has an intimate knOwl-
edge OF the tariff schedules on steel
and these he says should be abandoned
altogether.
He says that the steel industry needs
no protection, because Il Is now pro
duced cheaper here than anywhere else
Notwithstanding the higher wages paid
per man"
The same treatment, ne adds, should
be applied 10 oil. Mr.. Carnegie makes
the prOvisO. however, mat there may be
few specialties in the steel business
with which he is not familiar which
need protection, and II such IS the case
he expressed the hope that Congress
will foster them by means OF a suffci-
ent tariff.
while the tariff as a whole" writes
Mr.. Carnegie, "eVen today has ceased
TO be primarily beneficial as a measure
Of protection. 10 has become of vast inn
pOrtance from the standpoint Of rev
enUe, and II is TO this feature I bespeak
parties for duties upon impOrts-nOt for
protection, but for needed revenue
should not become a party question.
Reasonable men Of all parties may be
expected TO approve this plan Of obtain
ing revenue"

Joseph created some stir as he walked
into headquarters and purringly asked
Sergeant Carter or Detectives O'Dea and
Evans, he didn't care which, to furnish
him with a revolver. Tumbling TO the
fact that Joseph had a grievance, he
was accorded unusually courteous treat
ment and invited behind the railing,
where he took a seat.
Then Joseph unfolded a tale just like
those we have read in the funny books
or heard down at the variety houses
for years and years. His mOther-in-law
had been treating him badly for months
Joseph said blubberingly. and now he
determined upon determination OF the
species as the only remedy. The de-
tectives looked rather unconcerned at
this revelation they had often heard it
that some mothers-in-law
weren't directors Of the Humane So
ciety.

The Judge thought he had before him
a case that would have TO follow in line

Ridgway case. Saturday, when John
Smith asserted on the witness stand
that his pockets had been searched whfls
he was asleep and 1896 extracted.
Are you a married MANI" asked
Judge Mullowny, thinking here was a
case that came exactly within the rule

Smith was not married man and the
application Of the rule was not made

that inasmuch as the disconsolate mar

The negro protested, avOWing that he
