With loving heart we try to their last resting place with the choicest of In this quiet spot here they where the stir and glare of the world is shut out and their voices forever; and as we bend over these graves our natures rush towards the of pity, of patience and of love. For these flowers which we strew over to-day to the days of long ago; heart strings often vibrate with faint aching strains, when but the breath of a flower bring to us the thoughts of our Southern Home. They open to us the portals of our day dreams, they put us a spirit of remembrance, and as stand here we look forward to the bright angel of hope.

With sad hearts turned our backs on the graves of com- to retrace our footsteps to once happy homes. out of the darkness of a long and dreary night we see the dawn of a day. The time has now passed since fields were desolate and made waste by the tread of con- tending armies. The silvery lining of the dark cloud that so long overshadowed the South is now appearing, for we have taken a new stitch in civilization. The battles that are being fought now are battles of industry, for and national prosperity. Smoke clouds ascend no more from fields of carnage from factories conducted by men coming from the North and South alike. The iron horse is pushing his way through barren wastes to make them teem with plenty, people are crowding into her valleys, her rivers are being to fertilize her acres, and the of the Pilgrim Fathers are mixing their blood with the cavalier of Virginia.

Because his election will be the first step towards tho breaking down of that kind of tariff taxation which aims to enrich the few at the expense of the many. Because it will put a final end to tho policy of centralization in which tho republic's greatest danger lies. Because it will free tho country from tho scandal of Elkins.

I will not forget how the little town of Hope impressed A map of the Northern Pacific shows it to be the extreme point of this curve around lake lend and it is the furthest north of any place touched on the entire journey, being only about miles from the boundary Hue of Canada- The mountain rises to a great height above the lake, and nestled in its side on a plateau an hundred feet above the railroad track is the pretty town. Steps lead from the depot up to the street and the beautiful view of the lake, the busy steamers plying its waters, the whole seeming to be shut in by a gigantic wall of mountains, amply repaid any one for taking the climb. All this country through here is exceeding rich in minerals and mines are numerous. From Hope the travel is east- ward. many miles after leaving there we were over into Montana and something occurred that con- amused the passengers on the Pullman. At a station a well dressed Chinaman lugging a heavy valise got on at the rear platform and took his seat on a camp stool just between the side folding doors. Seeing that he was on the lookout for something from the rear of the cars attracted the passengers and a few of us gather- near him began looking out too- Presently the conductor came along and familiarly asked what was tho number of his pass and how far he was going- The Chinaman answered promptly and from that we all knew that he was in some way connected with the railroad. By questioning him some and watching him more we soon found out all about it Ho was in charge and paymaster of all the section squads west of in section hands are all Chinese. On the first day of each month was June he goes over the road just as he was doing to-day and pays off the hands. The section hands know when to expect him are on the lookout for the train ho is on- He has a small canvass sack for every section in which is placed the money, always coin, to pay the hands at work on it. Each is labeled in Chinese hieroglyphics so that no mistakes can be made and with the money inside is a statement showing how much is due each hand- The paymaster knows the sections as come, has the sack readiness, and as the train dashes by the squad wherever they are at work he out something to them and dashes tho sack overboard. The chief of the section takes charge of the sack and distributes to man his wages. This paymaster gets a month for his services and the section hands arc paid per day. Just at dark Wednesday evening we were crossing the main range of the famous Rocky Mountains. At the summit of this is another tunnel more than a mile long.

J. B. T. Senator Brice is finding it cult to stick to his long-ago ox- pressed determination to retire from the chairmanship of the Democratic National committee, the wish of Mr. Cleveland, ex Secretary Whitney, and other prominent leaders of the party that he should retain tho position during tho present campaign. A gentleman who has just returned from a visit to Mr. Cleveland says that the muddle into which Mr. Harrison has thrown his party by all of those who opposed his nomination has made a deep impression upon Mr. Cleve- land and that he will show an op- spirit when the Democratic committee meets to organize for the campaign by insisting that no such discrimination be made. The free coinage of silver has been killed again, and this time friends and foes agree that it is really and truly dead, for this anyway. The fight in the House over tho bill was entirely outside of party lines, as may be judged from the fact that ex- Speaker Reed was tho leader of tho members whoso defeated the reported from tho committee on Rules for tho consideration of tho free bill. Opinion differs as to what, if any, effect this disposition of the bill will have on tho campaign. Representative of Kentucky, says tho defeat of the bill will result in tho election of Mr. Cleveland the retention of a number of east- congressional districts that would have boon lost if the House had passed tho bill. continued Mr. ridge, there is danger of losing a few seats in the House on account of the failure of the bill, but those that are lost will not be to Republicans but to third party men who with the Demo- on the tariff and to the force It will also cause a number of members who have usually elected without to fight for their Every one who has had any ex with the present pension laws will endorse the res- reported from the House committee on Invalid Pensions, this week, providing for the point men t of a select com m of five, three to be taken from that committee and two from the com- on Pensions, and author it to sit during tho coming recess, for the purpose of codifying simplifying, and arranging the pension laws now in force.

Contrary to expectation, the anti-option bill failed to h a in the this week, though by a vote of to it was given the right of way, but it was by an appropriation bill just as its supporter were try. to bring it to a vote.

Unless something entirely expected shall prevent it, Congress will adjourn within tho next fifteen days. It is just possible that there may be a serious hitch over tho numerous amendments which tho Senate has added to the Sundry Civil bill when that measure gets back to the House.
