IN MEMORIAM.

Lines on the death of Mr.. GALLIHER.
father Of w; T and nd G &c F.. % Gailiher' ,n,1l
Just after the sun had risen and the
earth lay throbbing beneath it's rays,
he returned to that God who had given
him to his loved ones it seemed but for
It was but the rolling back Of the cur
tain through which the brightness Is
cleaning. It was but the lifting Of the
latch. a step into the open air and then
They were SO 10th to give him up that
II seemed that the waves Of eternity
itself would catch him up and float him
outward and then bring him back again
to their outstretched arms.
The swift moments drew on the hours
and draped them one by one. while they
watched and waited for that angel whose
lids and soothe the aching heart and
quiet the troubled BRAIN.
An angel who Is stern. yet merciful;
NOT ao whittier @ o bu; ' we know NO sha. the bur
dens are falling from our tired shoulders
Oh. what a sense Of wonderful rest
must have come to him when he felt
How beautiful to realize that the world
periences, its many sacrifices. its cease
are starting on the other Journey a the
termination Of which the God world VIII
stand revealed to U.s.
But now death brings US face to face
with the former-life II but an untntel-
ligible preparation for the unknown
world.
His life had been a long one. and the
beautiful sun had left the rosy impress
Of its fingers on the floating clouds that
love to linger above the place where he
has disappeared. For the fathers face
was now overshadowed with newborn
life. for the eyes had now grown dim that
were once filled with brightness that was
prophetic Of that wonderful eternity Into
which they were now opening.
They tell US that folded eyes see bright
er than open ones do.
And I know that he Is happy. for at
last he was reunited with his loved one.
whom II had pleased God to call few
short years before. Almost his last
words-looking at his sons-were: You
have been good boys. but long to see
your mother" G. L 8.

Chairman Johnson, of the House
District Committee, proposes to dig
into the conduct of District affairs
and to subject the machinery of the
city government to comprehensive
investigation of all its doings from
the time when, in the spring of
1874, a joint committee of Con-
gress went into the doings of the
famous board of public works of
the District in the DAYS of the
Shepherd regime and spent two
months of steady work in taking
testimony which is to be found in
three enormous volumes.
AIMS AT CORPORATIONS.
Not only that. but the workings of
several utility corporations are to be put
under the closest scrutiny. and among
other things to be found out is why it is
impossible to set seats in street cars at
1t all came about because Chairman
Johnson walked Unexpectedly into a
meeting of the Committee on Rules of
the House yesterday just as that body
had unedr consideration the Oldfield reso-
luton, calling upon the District Commit
tee or a subcommittee of that body to
inquire into the operation of the govern
ment of the District of Columbia, as well
as the management and conduct of the
concerns that do business of a public
service in the District. This resolution,
IT is expected. will be reported to the
House early next week.
Chairman Johnson frankly told the
Committee on Rules that. in his opinion,
there was need of an inspection Of Dis
trict affairs, although he expected no
scandal to develop. Representative john
son said, however. that some slight in
vestigation on his part had confirmed a
belief that the Federal government had
been paying more than its share toward
the District expenditures. approximately
$4,000 interest on District bonds, he
said, had been advanced by the govern
ment without receiving duecredit there
for on its obligation to pay one-half Of
the expenses of the District. In response
u ny hdulSOn as
to why the bonds in question had been
issued, Representative johnson replied:
ITO retire certificates of Indebtedness
OF the Shepherd regime. certificates
which were admitted oy the newspapers
and by members of Congress at the time
to be 75 per cent fraudulent.
Why Pay Interest.
Il have gone back forty years. Mr..
Johnson continued. and I can find
nothing to indicte that we are bound to
pay this interest money in addition to
the so per cent prescribed by the pratt
nership act"
Representative Johnson said that
Commissioner Judson had told him re-
Gently that the Federal government
was really paying more than 80 per
cent of the local expenses.
These assertions of Chairman John
son made a decided impression upon
the rules committee and it began to be
recognized that perhaps Uncle Sam had
been engaged in a partnership which
for years had received but perfunctory
auditing on his part.

1 claim the honor Of first presenting
the name OF Col d. J. Palmer Of Wash

was and is that we old veterans are
passing away at the rate of 10000 per
year and soon we will be only of his
tory. Now while we have one comrade
whom we all love who can fill the
office to the satisfaction Of all the citi-
zens of our state, we claim the favor
be extended to US. n will be the last
favor asked for and we believe it will
be granted.
Col. Dave as we all know him was
one of the boys and won his stars
from brave deeds and actions that
stand out in his life and that will be
accredited to him when the last roll
is sounded. Col. Dave was colonel of
the Tw enty-fifth Iowa Infantry Volun-
teers and has proved himself a loving
comrade ever since. Let every old
soldier get out and work for our old
comrade for candidate for governor of
Iowa.
