When bowling hounds were nercest
With Petersburg at bay.

Walked down the lines with Lee,
Marking through mIsts Of gunshot
The clouds OF enemy.

At every scale and Joint;
And halting, glasses leyelled,
At gaze on Dead Mans Point"

Fell on a needless ear.
While the ralentless lead-storm

TIL straight before his chieftain,
without O sound or sign,
He stood, a shield the grandest,
Against the union line.
And then the glass was lowered,
And n voice that fsltcrend not.
Said IN It's measured cadence:
why Oracle, you'li be shot"
And Alabama answered.
'Tho south will pardon mo

Comes short Of Robert Lee!"
Swept n swift fash Of crimson
Athwart the chieftain's cheek,
And tho eyes wbOse glance was

Spake as no king could speak.
And side by side with Oracle
lie turned from shot dud flame;
Side by side with Oracle
Up tho grand aisle of fame.

NO MORE FREE SEEDS

The senate on Thursday struck
from the agricultural appropriation
bill the item of $246.150 for free
congressional distribution of seeds.
Unless the house conferees insist on
a restoration of the provision, this
hoary old abuse will be done away
with at last.
When this system of free distribu-
ton of seeds was first started it had
a legitimate purpose but that has
long been abandoned. Before the
days of state agricultural experiment
stations it was proposed to have
farmers in different parts of the
country experiment by planting seeds
supplied by the government, and re-
port the result of their experiments
to Washington Naturally, the de-
partment looked to mem bers of con-
gress to furnish the names of the
persons best qualified to make these
experiments and more likely to be
willing to cooperate with the de-
partment in testing new varieties and
in proving whether or not they were
adapted for general use in different
parts of the country.
From this Legitimate start the
abuse of the free seed privilege has
grown, until in recent years every
member of congress was furnished
large quantities of ordinary garden
and flower seeds to distribute among
his constituents. Some of the seeds
were good, some bad. The depart
ment, which had long abandoned the
original purpose in seed distribution,
simply bought the quantity needed to
supply the members of congress in
the open market.
The departm ent has been anxious
to have the system abandoned, but
congress has never seen fit to do so.
1t has afforded members of congress
an opportunity, without personal ex-
pense, to recall themselves TO the at
tention of individual constituents by
giving them something for nothing.
The cost has mounted up into hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, and.
not single good purpose has been
served by the expenditure. The SEN
ate has done the proper thing in
striking out the graft, and it is to
be hoped that it never will be re-
stored.-Seattle Observation-Disclosures
