The Esthcryillc Findicotor. in an
article on the Senatorial candidates.
SAYS: a
Al the Reunion of the officers of the
Army Of the Tennessee. at Des Moincs.
n few weeks ago, private soldiers
the men by whose aid every one Of the
officers had won his rcputation--were
denied admission to the Society. and
the privileges of membership were
made hereditary. OF this Society,
Belknap is prominent member. ave
mention this as an illustration olsthe
spirit actuating regular army officers.

they are not in sympathy will, the

simply for fair play. and because
We know that the Fi"dicotp is pa.
per Of 50 much candor that il would
not knowingly misrcprcscnt any one.
we would correct two statements made
in the above extract. The first para
graph would leave the impression on
tho mind of the reader that Secretary
Bclknap was one of the men opposed
TO admitting private soldiers TO the
Society of the Army Of the. Tennessee.
TO our own knowledge the contrary
is true. Gen. Belknap was, and is,
heartily. earnestly, aud uncompro-
misingly in favor Of admitting pri-
vatc soldiers TO that Society. and al
the meeting at Des Noincs. worked
and voted for their admission. This
statement is simple justice.
As TO the Generals West I'oiniisIn
it must be remembered that while Inc
was a graduate of West Point. he was
only a little while n regular army Of
iiccr. Nearly all his life lie has spent
in civil life, at Eeokuk, in the piac-
tiec Of law. lie was in the army as
a volunteer, and made very gallant
soldier, indeed. We are not in the
business Of making or unmaking Sem
tors, but thi, shonld be made by way
of correction of mistaken statements.
--Stote Register.
We announce the above, because
while we pronounce no preference for
Senator. we do want even handed just
ice to be dealt out TO all the candi-
dates. We trust that the utmost care
will be observed by Repn bliean j0urn-

Freight Rates from the

New YoHK, Nov. 15.-The Trunk
lines have agreed to advance the rates
of freight West on Manday next, on
basis OF fifty per cent. above those OF
tho last few month";. The claim for
this advance by railroad men is that
the rates are much lower than they
have ever been before at this time or
the year. and with the advance there
is very little margin for profits when
severe weather sets in.

Treasurer New

WASHINGTON, Nov. l3.-lt seems
probable that Mr.. New. the United
States Treasurer, will be forced by
the pressure of his private business TO
retire from Office within a few weeks.
1t is well known that Mr.. New is a
gentleman of large wealth, and that
he has an interest of $250,0O0 in the
National Bank of indianapolis, of
which he was cashier. lie to-day re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. English.
President of the bank. saving that his
health was in such a prccarious con-
dition that his physicians had order
ed him TO abstain from all labor and
business care. and proceed to Cali
fornia for prolonged stay. Mr.. New
said to a friend to-day that, if Mr..
English were forced to leave the bank.
he would feel compelled to resign his
office, and return to indianapolis. He
is notat all pleased with official life.
and regrets that he ever came here.
He is unable to live on the salary of
the office. His business suffers at
home, and he thinks the honors Of the
office are but small compensation
for sacrifices he has made.
