Sept. 5, 1JS93. j President Cleveland never work ed hrrder since he became Presi dent than he has done sincie his; return to Washi^on, In ja^ai-i tiorr to his desk work, x>f itself a task for an ordinary, man, he has held important conferences J witi? every member of -his cabinet upon matters pertaining to fteir several departments; with niinjeWms Sena tors on the outlook Tor therpaL sage of the silver repeal ' hilUL a5$ with chairman Wilson, of the Hai*<e Ways and Means committee upon the new tariff bill, public hearings upon which were today begun by that committee, to be continued antil the" 20 *inst. *In short, Mr Cleveland has, after his, vacation,* taken op his numerous public duties with the vigor which has al ways characterized his administra tion of public affairs. To seeihim talk with him. two minutes wrillfor* vince any man that the talk about his healih being undermined and broken is arrant nonsense. He was overworked; nee led rest; iand now that he has had itjs all righc. ognin. It is now acknowledged by the staunchest opponent of the uncon ditional repeal of the. purchasing clause of I he Sherma!^, silver law that the opposition to* repeal is gradually melting away. A ma jority of the Senators till vote for repeal when a vote can be reached and the only delay that can arise after all the Senators- have been given an opportunity to express their sentiments will be by filibust ering. To what extent filibuster ing jwill be carried is not yet ap parent, bnt it is certain that q number of Senators whtrjare strong ly opposed to unconditional repeal, snch men as Morgan, of Alabama, and Feffer, of Kansas. ? -will refuse to aid in filibustering to prevent a vote, and Senator Vorhees, who is in charge of Die repeal bill, has given notice of his intention to use extreme measures, to force a vote upon the bill, as soon as it became apparent that the, debate is being prolonged for no other purp >se than U? stave off a vote. It is aow thought by those who favor repeal that a vote can be reached in two, or at the^utside three, w?&ks. The gamblers are n so ally good judgeB of the way the wind bloft&Mid they are offering odds th^d thepiut^S as ing clause <.f the Sherrk/m law wilj btf repealed before the first of Oc^ tober. I saw cne bet ,of &100 to B40 made, the gambler taking the $100 end,, and la:er offering to givej fonr to one up to $1000, without takers. $U!1, it is certain that the bill will not pass the Senate with-! cut a bitter struggle, which will probably be one of the most mera oirablCv in the history of the Sen-] ate. this struggle is expected to hegir/wilh a continuous session of the Senate, when the attempt will be made to wear out the opposition' and thus force a vote. | The House is still debating "the proposed new rnies reported from the committee on rules lasfco week, and until they have been adopted no bills can be introduced, except Jnj unanimous consent, that is sei ri>*m given. Among the most im portant amendments whjch, the p(>u8e has Already added to the rules isihat giving the committee on i Coinage and the committee run Banking Vid Cu-renpy the same privilege ttaat the committee on Appropriations and that on Ways and Means have had ? that of re porting bills at any time. During the debate ex-Speaker Reed has continuously sought to make dis cord among Democrats, but up t<^ this time he has succeeded in do ing nothiug except making an ex hibition of himself. While the Democrats have differences amon? "themselves 39 to s^me of the rule's reported, they are. able to settle w?m, and will settle them without Reed's interference. There is very little talk new ahost the extra session being a, short one. There is so much lobe done that nearly all of the members hare about, come to the conclusion that it is beUer to stay through the fall than to bs compelled to stay here through the entire Summer next year. Something has got to be done to increase the revenues of the Government, in order to avoid a 'big deficit at the end of the present financial year, and it is-fc&ely* that after thie repeal bill is fjisjtfaed of President Cleveland wfcl have some recommendation tc make on the subject. U\is his wi?h,j and also that of Secfetaiy Carlisle, ' that the nee^s of the Treasury shall not be^mixed up with the silver question. Mrs Cleveland and Baby Ruth ? soon to be promoted to Mi9s Cleveland ? returned with the Presi dent, and the whole family is now comfortably domiciled at the, White House. Mrs Cleveland is--w*ll, and looking splendidly. Seuator Dolph made a speech in tUe Senate Saturday afternoon in favor of his bill apropriating ?500,000 to carry out the provis ions of the Geary ami-Chinese law that hardly made pleasing reading for the new Chinese minister who the same da}* presented his -cred entials to Secretary Gresbam. ?

Was your sacrifice in%aio ? The heroism of allel although graves dot our land, a- land without graves is a land without mem ories, and a land without memories is not worth preserving. We are a better and purer people for our war arid sacrifict. The South gave toethe woHd men who are regarded as the highest, noblest ex emplara of man hood to be found in history. There were Lee and Jackson and Albert Sidney Johnson. Lord Wolseley said he knew only two heroes ?

Then, de&pite the fact that Gefmany, the great leader of military ^thought, used the close rank mode ?f defense in battle, the South demonstrated the fact that the open mode/ was coijrect.
