THE DAY.
By HENRY CHAPPELL.

Prom the London Daily EIpress
CThe author Of this stirring poem
is Mr.. Henry ChappelL. a railway porter,
at Bath. Mr.. ChappeH is known to his
comrades as the Bath Railway Poet"
A poem such as this lifts him to the
ranks OF a national poet)
You boasted the Day, and you toasted
the Day,
And now the Day. has come.
BIasphemer braggart and coward all,
Little you reck OF the numbing ball.
The blasting shell. or the white arm's'
fall.
As they speed poor humans home.
You spied for the Day, you lied for the
Day.
And woke the Days red spleen.
Monster, who asked Gods aid Divine.
Then strewed his seas with the chastity
mine:
Not all the waters Of the Rhine
Can wash thy foul hands clean.
You dreamed for the Day, you schemed
for the Day:
Watch how the Day will GO
Slayer of age and youth and prime
Oefenseless slain for never a Crime)
Thou art STEPPED in blood as a hog in
slime.
False friend and cowardly foe.
You have sown for the Day, you have
grown for the Day,
Yours is the harvest red.
Can you hear the grOans and the awful
cries?
Can you see the heap OF slain that lies.
And sightless turned to the name-split
skies
The CLASSY eyes Of the dead?
You have wronged for the Day. you
have longed for the Day,
That lit the awful flame.
'Tis nothing to you that hill and plain
Yield sheaves of dead men amid the
grain;
That widows mourn for their loved ones
slain,
And mothers curse thy name.
But after the Day there's a price to pay
For the sleepers under the sod,
And He you have Knocked for many a
day
Listen. and hear what He has 10 say:
Vengeance is mine. I will repay"
What can you say to God?

Justice Toward New York Banks.

A gold expectation movement which places the
burden upon the banks of New York City is an
injustice. 1t is not the expectation of gold that
hurts; it is the lowering of reserve. The whole
country should share the burdens because the whole
country has been dealing through the New York
banks. The lowering of legal reserves in that city
is 4 result that could not have been avoided until
now.
The future should bring fair distribution among
the banks throughout the country. In some form
or ether the Federal Reserve Board is expected to
take this The advice given it by the special
committee appointed from the meeting here as to
general distribution in the raising of gold to meet
foreign obligations is sound, and the committee is
largely composed of Western men

Fifty years ago today Gen L S.
Grant, comma nding the armies OF the
United States, visited Gen. =. II. Sheri-
dan. commanding in the Valley of the
Shenandoah, and gave him the neces-
sary orders to attack the Confederate
army under Gen. Jubal A. Early, then
holding Winchester.
Grants visit was most timely for
Sheridan had received the day before,
from a young woman in Winchester,
the important information that Early 5
force had been depleted by the recall
to Richmond of a part of LOngstreet' 5
corps. under Gen. r. II. Anderson. which
had been sent to the valley by Gen.
Lee early in the campaign.
Gen. Grant arrived on the ground at
the proper moment thus to receive con-
firmation of the wisdom OF the plan of
campaign he had been following at
eratiOns against Lee had embraced
movements to compel the recall of
these troops from the valley.
These movements had consisted of
attacks upon both fianks OF Lees lines.
in heavy force. They had been carried
out in exceedingly hot weather. had
brought on heavy lighting, and had cost
dearly in blood. There had been much
criticism of them. both at the front
ana IN the press, Tor no commensurate
gain appeared. Grant was now, after
long and patient waiting. and many
silent hours OF study, reaping the first
reward of his labors: and, dramatically
enough, IL came in the form of a little
tissue note In a wOman's hand that had
been smuggled through the lines from
Winchester in a pellet of tinfoil. car
ried in a negro vegetable peddler's
mouth.
Meet in John Browns Town.
Grants visit to Sheridan was one of
those acts that stamped the commander
as a strong and independent character.
His journey had been undertaken be-
cause he was not satisfied with the
manner in which his orders to Sheridan
had been handled at Washington.
They passed through the hands OF
the Secretary of War and Gen. Henry
W. HaIIeck, chief of stan. Neither Of
these officials. earnest men though they
were, knew as a rule what Grant aimed
to accomplish by his orders, yet each
at times felt prompted by caution TO
modify them.
Finding this to be so, Grant made no
complaint, but decided to go privately
to the valley and look over the ground.
No notice OF the journey was sent to

D.. w Bayard Hale bobs up from somewhere
to give his views on the war "If it had been France
Tatier than Germany" he asks that had first openly
sent troops into Belgium, is it likely the British
conscience would have so much as stirred?" On the
same day that Dr. Hale breaks into print the news
papers publish statement from the official press
bureau, made by authority of Sir Edward Grey, in
answer to a question just like Dr. Hae's, but COM
irg from DR.. Won Bethmann- -Holweg, the imperial
German chancellor Does any one believe" the
chancellor had inquired that England would have
iuterferred to protect Belgium freedom against
France?" .....-.
Says the official British statement "The answer
is that she would unquestionably have done so Sir
Edward Grey as reported in the White Paper, asked
the (French) government whether it was prepared
to engage to respect the neutrality of Belgium so
lcng as no other power violated it The French
government replied that they were resolved to re-
spect it The assurance, it was added had been
given several times, and had formed the subject of
a conversation between President Poncare and the
German chancellor, who entirely ignores the fact
that England took the same line about Belgian neu-
traliN in 1870 that she has taken now."
