ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1900. MEMORIAL DAY ADDRESS. Oration by E. T. Langley on the Occasion of the Decoration of the Soldiers' Graves. At the Memorial day exercises at the cemetery on May 30th E. T. Langley spoke in part as follows: My comrades, we are here today on the border line between time and eternity. We salute the dead with mingled feelings of sadness and gladness. We mourn for those who are gone, but rejoice with an exceeding great joy, over the surprising wonderful results that have come from the death of those whose lives and deeds we this day honor. It has seemed that from the beginning of time it was decreed that great good and richest of blessings should come only from sacrifices, suffering and death. But truth, as it always does, has risen triumphant, from the ashes and blood of desolating warfare. Justice and the night have come as the result of mortal combat and seas of blood, shed where thousands have perished in order that the coming millions might peacefully enjoy the blessings that come only from the enforcement of justice and the vindication of the right. We are here today to offer the tribute of thousands to those dead in whose suffering, daring and dying the cause of truth, justice and humanity has been advanced beyond the power of human speech to express. We are here today to show an undying faith, that will admit of no doubt, that right is eternal, and those who sustain it by the sacrifice of their lives live beyond time and space not only in heaven, but in the hearts and memories of their countrymen, and while we today stand by the silent grave we feel and know that far away upon some unmarried men and women our government under the articles German, the Irishman, the Scandinavian, the Frenchman and other nationalities rallied to the defense of all that men should hold dear in civilized countries, and against those who would inaugurate chaos and anarchy in the interests of human greed and for the continuance of African slavery. It was the friends of liberty in arms to fight the battles of God and humanity. Women were the foremost in that grand rally urging father, son and brother into the conflict as an evidence of their belief "that it was not all of life to live nor all of death to die." And while the memory of that grand spirit of patriotism goes on thundering down through the future of American history will the flag, the Union and the constitution rest as securely as the hills, the lakes, the valleys and the mountains—where God ordained that liberty should provide a home for the future race rebaptized by the fire of battle into a brotherhood of freemen. May this day's teachings lead the young and old to guard as with a wall of fire our sacred institutions against those who are unwilling, unworthy or incompetent to learn the story of American citizenship. May God forgive the man or woman who can go from these graves we decorate today and greet with fawning sycophancy the titled tramps whose chief distinctions are that they never learned to work. Broad as is our country it is two small to hold the man or woman who would barter their birthright as a American for all the dukes, earls and other titles that ever roamed the earth. Our nation has a banner on whose starry folds we read the story of more than a hundred years. Our starry emblem has carved a pathway through more than a hundred years of trials and triumphs, of bloody We are here today to offer the tribute of thousands to those dead in whose suffering, daring and dying the cause of truth, justice and humanity has been advanced beyond the power of human speech to express. We are here today to show an undying faith, that will admit of no doubt, that right is eternal, and those who sustain it by the sacrifice of their lives live beyond time and space not only in heaven, but in the hearts and memories of their countrymen, and while we today stand by the silent grave we feel and know that far away upon some unseen plain of eternity march and marshal in an unbroken column the true and good of America's patriotic dead. We look today with mental vision toward the unseen home where the good, the faithful and the brave of every land and clime who died for right, home and country shall meet their reward. And as the flowers die, and on each returning spring cover the face of nature with a picture of beauty, so we cover the graves of our dead heroes with flowers to testify to our undying belief that the dead mortal has put on immortality. And although death is among us on every hand, yet there is that which never dies—honor, courage, mind, soul and the heart that dares to do the right; these will come down through all the ages and will go on and on until the stars have sung their last song together. We plant the flag, emblem of strength, beauty and patriotism, over the brave now dead. We wave it over their graves because it is a link connecting those who die with those who live, hence the flag today brings us a message from the heroic dead, and says "that while this flag is honored let no hand deprive any human being of all the rights that those who fell beneath the flag died to maintain." We turn from the present to recall the past, to bring back for a brief period our dead heroes, to call up from the misty past actions and thoughts, which, though forgotten by some, can never, never die. Millions today commune with millions whom they never knew, only as we know them, battling for one common cause. We sing and talk today of deeds that shall be kept fresh and green in memory through all time on earth. We meet today with those who, though we call them dead, we know are not, for it seems to me that we can almost feel their presence, and we do know that they shall survive the empire of decay. Time is over and worlds have passed away. Cold in the dust the perished heart may lie. But that which warmed it once shall never die. The world assembled a few years ago to recall the story of 400 years ago. As the panorama swept by, how transcendingly grand the events that day commemorated. What would have been the hope of humanity today if the political systems of the Old World had been transferred to the New, and spread before civilized man by the genius of Columbus. For centuries men had contended with one another and millions of human beings had been destroyed in and upward, until the coming of the time when man shall be no longer a little lower but on a plane with the angels. Despotism and monarchy challenged in vain the new aspiration of mankind in the establishment of this great government. The new nation in which the government was to be composed of the common people, and in which each citizen was to be a sovereign, moved past the threshold of the nineteenth century, and as the light of the moon pales before the light of the sun, so did the people's government under the articles of confederation pale before the free open government of the constitution. The starry banner triumphed over the efforts of monarchy and tyranny to suppress man's best efforts for his own emancipation. It is to be found in the history of every government that there has been a contest between liberty and tyranny, but none has been more active in opposing the efforts of liberty to elevate mankind than the accursed system of African slavery. We read that Carthage was a republic. A republic in name, but human slavery it is said dragged it down from its proud and high pinnacle of fame on both land and sea until the wild birds sang her requiem to the listening winds. Rome was once also called a republic, but had slavery as one of its corner stones, and the slaves of Rome finally delivered this once proud nation into the hands of barbarism. Human avarice and greed under a perfect control of that spirit of tyranny brought slaves and slaveholders to the shores of America, and every echo of that great liberty bell that rang through the New World proclaiming the great message of freedom and equality between man and man, fell upon the ears of the slave. As the star of empire turned Westward two civilizations moved side by side toward the setting sun. The descendants of the Puritans hewed a way out through the wilderness for the march of liberty, equality and human rights. The would-be aristocracy from the Old World led a mournful procession to the music of the sad song of the slave. Light and darkness may mix for a short time in the twilight but soon either the light or the darkness must disappear. So liberty and slavery may single for a time under the same government, but sooner or later one must give way to other. When the Southern slave-holding aristocracy found that the time was near at hand when they could no longer control the destiny of our country by making it all slave or nationalizing their infamous system of slavery, they determined to break up our glorious country by bloody war and scatter its remains among the despotisms of the earth. Upon the spot where slavery originated in this country was to come the test whether liberty or slavery was to control, and upon this conflict was to hang the destiny of our beloved country, This was the "irrepressible conflict." The millions of free American citizens of the North felt that the free constitution and Declaration of Independence of the United States was a trust and they were trustees for all who can go from these graves we declare today and greet with fawning sycophancy the titled tramps whose chief distinctions are that they never learned to work. Broad as is our country it is two small to hold the man or woman who would barter their birthright as a American for all the dukes, carls and other titles that ever roamed the earth. Our nation has a banner on whose starry folds we read the story of more than a hundred years. Our starry emblem has carved a pathway through more than a hundred years of trials and triumphs, of blood and tears, of light and darkness, gloom and victory, and it must flow without a rival throughout the border of this country. And let the hand be twice accursed that would degrade Union, the constitution, the starry flame or anything else that goes to make our nation's glory. We want the United States of America to stand first of all nations; find because of her good gifts to her children, and second, because she stands alone as that nation whose coat and corner stone are human heart bound by a tie invisible unto Crown Nations who hath made all men His own image and in the image of each other. When by the result of the great Civil War it became certain that there be to be but one authority in these United States, iron bands stretched to East, West, North, South binding in a firm but friendly embrace those whom God and the army of Union had decreed should never be asunder. Immediately the hand of humankind progress touched the South. Out of dust and bitterness of defeat and destruction, and upon the ruins of slavery a new empire. Where had been the roar ofthe non and the humofthe bullet roar ofthe mill andthe humofthe spindle. What were the glories of Athena—the trophies of Rome when she covered three thousand miles of free intellectual industrialization; that rebackthe sunlightofGodfromgreen mountains skirtingtheAtlanticto golden sandsofPacific. Bound together not alone by thoseof a common country,but unitedbya thousand strandsof holy mencoming fromthe battlefieldsofDonelson,Shliloh,Spattsylvaniaandhundred others. We desire this day to incubate more exalted patriotism. We wish on every 30th OfM write as it were uponthe

That they shall survive the empire of decay, When time is over and worlds have passed away. Cold in the dust the perished heart may lie. But that which warmed it once shall never die. The world assembled a few years ago to recall the story of 400 years ago. As the panorama swept by, how transcendingly grand the events that the day commemorated. What would have been the hope of humanity today if the political systems of the Old World had been transferred to the New, and spread before civilized man by the genius of Columbus. For centuries men had contended with one another and millions of human beings had been destroyed in the attempt to establish the proper relations of man with his Creator. It seems in those days that man had exhausted his ingenuity in trying to find new methods of oppressing his fellow men. Here upon the shores of this New World a new song has been put in our SCOTT'S EMULSION OF COD-LIVER OIL WITH HYPOPHOSPHITES should always be kept in the house for the following reasons: FIRST — Because, if any member of the family has a hard cold, it will cure it. SECOND — Because, if the children are delicate and sickly, it will make them strong and well. THIRD — Because, if the father or mother is losing flesh and becoming thin and emaciated, it will build them up and give them flesh and strength. FOURTH — Because it is the standard remedy in all throat and lung affections. No household should be without it. It can be taken in summer as well as in winter. From the valley, mountain, forest and prairie, from beside the lake, river and ocean, from factory, counting room, store, school and office, and from all professions, gathered hundreds of thousands. They were not trained warriors, but American citizens free born, the most intelligent representatives of the great human family to be found on the face of the globe. There was no aristocracy there, but the noblest blood that ever sent the current of life through the human form divine, nerving the strong arm of honest American manhood, fully supported and sustained by the undaunted devotion of American womanhood. For nearly three-fourths of a century had the spirit of 76 gone from father and mother to son and daughter. In the free schools of the North the youth had grown into intelligent loyal American manhood, and been taught that it was their first duty to stand as a great bulwark in defense of the constitution and the flag. In millions of our Northern homes had our women been doing their best in building up and training the patriot who became a soldier because he felt that he was a part of the State and government. The descendants of other countries vied with the native American; the more exalted patriotism. We wish on every 30th of M write as it were upon the broad cast of heaven that the cost of the United States of America was than three hundred thousand lives, who went to death willing even joyfully for simple and pure country.

Prompt and Vigorous Official Action in the Case of the Cuban Postal Frauds — Senator Foraker's Document on Porto Rico [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE.] WASHINGTON, June 1.—Washington has not in many years seen as prompt and vigorous official action as that which followed the discovery of the Cuban postal frauds. Every agency of the government has been set at work to bring all the facts to the surface and all the guilty parties to justice. The fact that the men who are charged with these crimes were, when selected, men whose integrity had never been called in question does not reduce in the slightest degree the vigor with which the investigation is being pushed or the plans laid for the punishment of every guilty man. Senator Foraker had prepared an elaborate document relative to the levy and collection of taxes in Porto Rico, translated in the Division of Customs and Insular Affairs, War Department, together with a translation of the Spanish Porto Rican tariff and a statement of the auditor for Porto Rico. The paper gives a verbatim copy of the tax schedule as levied by the Spanish government, to be used as a foundation for the collection of receipts. The voluminous list provides for taxes on everything and everybody save educational and religious institutions supported by the State. The tariffs relating to the tax on industry and commerce are five in number, having as a basis the scale of population of the several cities and towns of the island. An annual school tax of $1 per capita is imposed on various persons, classified and specified in said orders. PORTO RICAN INVESTIGATIONS Government Report on Water Supply and Irrigation—Spanish Methods and Storage Reservoirs. Although the island of Porto Rico has a less area than the diminutive Eastern State of Connecticut, yet its different sections are subject to as great a variation in rainfall as are the extremes of the United States, ranging from practical aridity to very heavy precipitation. As much as 140 inches of annual rainfall is reported in some parts of the island, while at places on the south coast three years have passed without rain. And it is on the south coast that opportunity is offered for irrigation, but the area available is very small. Some of the methods in use, however, are quite interesting. "The soil on this land," said Mr. Herbert M. Wilson, the engineer of the Geological Survey, who has recently visited Porto Rico, "is in every case the best kind for irrigation. It is fairly deep and underlaid by a porous limestone or coral which affords good drainage, and probably insures safety from the danger of producing alkali. Much of it is already under cultivation. "The perennial flow of the streams of this section is unusually abundant for a land requiring irrigation. Moreover, the flood discharges of these streams occur at frequent intervals during the year, but are especially well distributed throughout the summer." "Are there any opportunities for the storage of water?" "These frequent floods afford an abundant surplus for storage, and the shapes of the smaller parting valleys, and of the lower canyons through which the rivers emerge from the mountains, may be found opportunities for the construction of storage reservoirs at relatively small cost." The Spaniards, who in the past have from these graves we decorate and greet with fawning by the titled tramps whose connections are that they never work. We is our country it is two thousand the man or woman who cherter their birthright as an adult for all the dukes, carls and men that ever roamed the earth. We has a banner on whose hands we read the story of more hundred years. The harry emblem has carved in through more than a hundred trials and triumphs, of blood, of light and darkness, of victory, and it must float in rival throughout the borders country. And let the hand be cursed that would degrade the constitution, the starry flag being else that goes to make our glory. At the United States of America first of all nations; first of her good gifts to her nation; and second, because she alone as that nation whose codeerner stone are human hearts, by a tie invisible unto the God whom he hath made all men in his image and in the image of each person by the result of the great Civil War became certain that there was but one authority in these United States West, the North, the South, in a firm but friendly embrace whom God and the army of the had decreed should never be put aside. Individually the hand of human touch touched the South. Out of the hard bitterness of defeat and desolation, and upon the ruins of slavery, a new empire. There had been the roar of the cannons and the hum of the bullet was the sound of the mill and the hum of the fire. What were the glories of Athens or hoplies of Rome when she covered whole world, compared with the thousands miles of free intelligent civilization, that reflects the sunlight of God from the mountains' skirting the Atlantic and golden sands of the Pacific. And together not alone by the love common country, but united today with thousand strands of holy memories from the battlefields of Fort Nelson, Shiloh, Spottsylvania and a number others. The desire this day to inculcate a true exalted patriotism. We wish on every 30th of May to see as it were upon the broad canopy heaven that the cost of these redefined States of America was more than three thousand thousand human lives, who went to death willingly and joyfully for simple and pure love country. For more than two thousand years the intellectual world worked at the shrine of the Spartan hero stood with his three hundred enthrymen for his country in the pass thermopylae. We need no heathen example in this country of patriotic devotion to duty. The paper gives a verbal copy schedule as levied by the Spanish government, to be used as a foundation for the collection of receipts. The voluminous list provides for taxes on everything and everybody save educational and religious institutions supported by the State. The tariffs relating to the tax on industry and commerce are five in number, having as a basis the scale of population of the several cities and towns of the island. An annual school tax of $1 per capita is imposed on various persons, classified and specified in said orders. The taxes required to be paid by means of internal revenue stamps, are as follows: On certificates issued by any of the bureaus, internal revenue offices, customs houses and courts of justice, $2 each. A tax of one-tenth of 1 cent is required on each box of matches. A tax of 3 cents per liter (in addition to the consumption tax and licenses required by municipalities) is required of manufacturers of brandy, rum, or other alcoholic liquors, to be paid by means of internal revenue stamps, to be affixed to each bottle, vessel, or package containing the class of liquor described. All mines pay a tariff according to the class of metal extracted, gold paying more than copper, iron and other metals. A yearly tax of $20 was imposed for each salt claim composed of 150,000 square meters; according to the law of 1895, the tax now imposed is $24 for 150,000 square meters. Under the general statutes (Spanish Laws, August 21, 1884) a fee of 12.50 pesos was required, in stamp duty, for each trade mark issued and registered. The fee is now collected in money ($7.50), the stamp duty tax (stamped paper) being discontinued. The material system of weights and measures' revenue is derived from the fine of $10 imposed for any infraction of regulations issued by the secretary of finance, dated March 18, 1899. There is a uniform consumption tax of 2 cents per pound on all oleomargarine imported into or manufactured in Porto Rico. For the collection of this tax the collectors of customs are appointed collectors of internal revenues, and it is provided that the tax on oleomargarine imported into the island shall be collected at the customhouses at the time of the importation. There is a tax of 20 cents on every pack of playing cards imported into Porto Rico, to be collected by collectors of customs acting in the capacity of internal revenue collectors. The taxation of lands on the island is based upon various cultivations and the land tax. In accordance with the various cultivations, there are taxes on cane lands, coffee lands, tobacco lands, pasture lands, minor produce lands, and forest lands. In accordance with the quality of the land there are taxes of the first, second and third classes; the first class comprising the best land, the second class the next best, and the third class the poorest.

We wish on every 30th of May to be as it were upon the broad canopy heaven that the cost of these re-created States of America was more than three hundred thousand human lives, who went to death willingly and joyfully for simple and pure love country. For more than two thousand years the intellectual world worsened at the shrine of the Spartan who stood with his three hundred entrymen for his country in the pass Thermopylae. We need no heathen example in this country of patriotic devotion to duty. We call today the whole American people to let the example of a million and around whose graves they stand because the fire of patriotic ardor in every true American bosom. Let all who wish their country's weal lifted by these scenes from the low grass of partisanship to the lofty mountain tops of patriotism. True and pure love of country can exist only in the true and genuine republic. Never since time began was there a deeper love for country than the citizen soldiers of these United States of America showed in their unselfish deception and voluntary death that the nation might live and liberty be there perpetuated. High upon the altar patriotism we lift today our sacred head, and while those dead are remembered let that man be a miserable outcast exiled from all regard who would enter his country's honor for private gain, or who would prove recreant to his trust in any public station. In the name of the honored dead we announce the man who would debauch Porto Rico, to be collected by collectors of customs acting in the capacity of internal revenue collectors. The taxation of lands on the island is based upon various cultivations and the land taxed.

In accordance with the quality of the land there are taxes of the first, second and third classes; the first class comprising the best land, the second class the next best, and the third class the poorest. Under the American administration of Porto Rico, the old Spanish taxes are being discontinued. In fact, the consumption, landing and transportation charges have already been abolished on: Petroleum, charcoal, firewood, fresh beef, veal, fresh pork or mutton, domestic fowls and eggs, fresh fruits, fresh and green vegetables, flour, cornmeal and bread, rice and beans, salt pork, ham and bacon, fresh fish, codfish and herring, soup paste, dried beef, sugar, molasses and coffee. Hawaiian imports from the United States last February were $1,467,953, an increase of $450,000 over the corresponding month in 1899. From all other countries the imports amounted only to $283,275, being $50,000 less than in 1899. Manila's custom receipts last March amounted to $515,575, as compared with $243,468 in March, 1899. Under Spanish rule the largest March receipts were $299,442, in 1897; so that their record has been beaten by $216,000 for that month under American administration. The next step toward Cuban independence will be taken by the Cubans themselves on June 16, when their first election for Cuban officials takes place. It will be controlled entirely by the Cubans themselves. A reliable and systematic survey of the water resources of the arid region which is subject to reclamation through the preservation of the waters that now run to waste, is highly important. Congress should authorize and appropriate liberally for the carrying forward of such work. In all the great irrigation systems of ancient times, history records that a central head made responsible to each individual irrigator or section, and so the rules and laws under which agriculture was performed was framed in such manner as to insure the greatest good to the greatest number; thus a marvelously perfect agricultural development arose under such systems, and serious conflict of rights was unknown. The manufacturers of the country, especially the East, now that their attention has been drawn to the subject, are becoming heartily in favor of the plan of federal aid to irrigation, because of the promise that the development and population of those now arid lands means the establishment of a great home market for their goods. Their friendliness and aid will be found not inconsiderable. Guy E. Mitchell Has testimonials unequalled in number and unexcelled in quality the world over.
