AVasbiagton, April 27—One of the principal subjects to be considered by the executive committee of the re publican national committee when it meets here next week, is the ever im portant one of raising funds, with spe cial reference to the campaign of next j all. Senator Quay, First Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson and Col. William Dudley, being now the gen eral managers of the republican party take charge of all national campaigns, and so will direct the fight for sena tors and congressmen nett fall just as idosely as they will direct the presi dential campaign of 1892. Chairman Quay’s ingenious scheme for making every republican a stock holder in the party by issuing to him at handsome chroroo certificate of a contribution of 810 or more, has been established, and Senator Quay’s late private secretary, Frank Willing JLeach, in his capacity ns deputy sec l etary of the republican national com- mittee. is sending out invitations to I he men on the lists of the various committees, which have been procur ed for that purpose, to take slock in the grand old party. This is enough to bring a deep blush of honest shame to every honest man in the land. And yet these bri hers ciy out '‘fraud’’ at the south. It is the old dodge of a thief crying out “Stop thief.” Our Memorial Day. This is Thomnsvillc’s Memorial Day. For good reasons Saturday, the 26th, was not observed, but to day Thomasville will pay tribute to those who fell battling for the Lost Cause. Old men and sires, young men, maids, matrons and little chil dren, carrying (he fresh flowers of spring, will gather around the graves of Dixie’s dead in Laurel Hill, wreathe their humble graves with flowers and water them with their tears. No costly marble shafts mark their graves, but they aref^pabalmed in the affections of the people. Their memory will be cherished when mon uments have crumbled into dust. As appropriate to the day, we sub join the following poems: TOAST or BOr.OAK'S MEN. By Captain Tlirope, of Kentucky. Unclaimed by the land that bore us, Lost in the field, we find The brave have gone before us, Cowards arc left biliind! Then stand to your glasses, steady, Here’s a health to those we prize, Here's a toast to the dead already, And here’s to the next who dies. somebody's darling. Hiss Marie La Coste, Georgia. Into a ward of the white-washed lmlls Where the dead and the dying lay— Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls, Somebody’s darling was borne ene day, Somebody’s darling, so young and so brave 1 Wearing yet on his sweet pale face— Soon to be hid by the dust of the grave- The lingering light of his boyhood's grace. Somebody’s watching aud waiting for him, Yearning to hold him again to her heart; And there he lies, with his blue eyes dim, And his smiling, child-like lips apart. Tenderly bury the fair young dead— Pausing to drop o’er his grave a tear; Carve on the wooden slab o’er his head, “Somebody's darling slumber “here.” His First Veto. “Washington, April 26.—Presi dent Harrison sent his first veto to the House to-day. The bill was oue to authorize the city of Ogden, Utah, lo assume increased indebtedness. The ground oftho veto was thnt the bill is in contravention of the general law limiting municipal in debtedness.” Harrison will find some mighty fine openings for more vetoes—-if he will keep his eye on laws passed by his own party. TUE JACKET Of CRAY. Fold it up carefully, lay it aside, Tenderly touch it, look on it with pride— For dear must it be to our hearts CTcrmore, The Jacket of Gray our loved soldier-boy wore. Ah, rain, all vain, were our prayers and our tears: The glad shout of victory sang in our cars, But our treasured one on the red battlefield lay, While the life-blood oozed out on the Jack et of Gray. His young comrades found him and tenderly bore The cold, lifeless form to bis home by the shore. Oh Mark were our hearts on that terrible day, When we saw our dead hoy in the Jacket of Gray. We laid him to rest in his cold, narrow bed, And graved on the marble we placcdo'er bis head, As the proudest of tributes our 6ad hearts could say, “He never disgraced the Jacket of Gray." Then fold it up carefully, lay it aside, Tenderly touch it, look on it with pride— For dear must it be to our hearts evermore, The Jacket of Gray our soldier boy wore. “Colonel" Vick. Berlin, April *7.—The emperor Fpent the day with Queen Victoria at Darmdadt. The queen received a a deputation from the German dragoon regiment of which she is honorary colonel. They Will All Close. We are informed by the committee of ladies who went around to see the merchants, that every ono seen signed to close irom 3J o'clock until 7. Two or three were not seen, but they, too, will no doubt close. THE CONQUERED BANNED. Furl that Banner, foi ’tis weary; Round its staff ’tis drooping dreary; Furl it, fold it, it is best: For there's not a man to wave it, And there's not a sword to save it, And there’s not ono left to lave it In the blood which heroes gave it; And its foes row scorn and brave it; Furl it, hide it—let it rest. Take that Banner down, ’tis tattered; Broken is its statT and shattered; And the valiant hosts nre scattered, Over whom it floated high. Oh I ’tis hard for us to fold It; Hard to think there’s none to hold it; Hard that those, who once unrolled it; New must thrl it with n sigh.
