SOLDIERS IN THE CAMPAIGN.
A Volunteers View of Gen. Han
cocks Candidacy.

indianapolis Journal
''The Democrats seem much pleased
with the nomiuation of Maj. Gen. Han
cock" said a gentleman to a Journal re-
porter yesterday. "If they think the fact
that he is a major general will draw
soldier votes they will be mistaken. He
certainly will get no votes from men who
fought as volunteers. for volunteers never
received treatment from regular-army
officers calculated to breed any great
amount Of affection. started out as a
corporal in the Third Indiana cavalry,
and had a chance to see few things
during the war. Why, a private soldier
would not dare to even speak to major,
let alone a major general, in the regular
army. The major-general was as much
above. him and as inaccessible as the
grand Lima to the meanest Hindoo.
They were and are as wide apart as
heaven and the Internal regions. Han
cock is as far from soldier in the ranks
as the poor man resting in the bosom of
Abraham was from Dives in the flames
Of hell asking for cup of cool water.
In fact, the private soldier in the regular
army, under military martinez, may
we'll be supposed to have "bell of a
time" Suppose private soldier had
request to make of this august com
mander. He would have first to make 1t
to his orderly-sergeant, the sergeant would
convey it to the captain, the captain to
the adjutant, and SO on by easy stages
until after passing through dozen hands
or more it would finally get to his serene
highness, the West Point major-general.
Ia the volunteer service things were not
so scallopy; the boys wouldn't have it.
You have heard of the discipline tried at
Camp Darlington. The general issued
an order: the order was given the adju-
tant- general, the adjutant- general gave it
to the colonel, the colonel to his adjutant,
the adjutant TO the captain Of the COM
pany, the captain to the orderly sergeant,
the orderly to corporal, the corporal to
a private, and then the private politely
told the corporal to 60 to the devil, and
there was an end of the matter. The boys
who left their sweethearts, those who lett
their wives and little ones, their homes,
their business, their all for mere love of
country. never took kindly to the aristo-
cratic West Pointers, and the West Point
ers never took kindly to the boys, it may
be added. These gentlemanly soldiers
thought no more of the volunteers than
they would Of SO many cattle. General
Reno was one Of these superior beings.
He was killed at the battle of South
Mountain, and have no doubt that he
was killed by some Of his own men, as
before going into battle he had used some
of the most insulting language to an
Indiana regiment, whom he accused of
cowaruicc when they were obcying
orders and showing no signs of wavering
or shirking. Just keep it before the
boyc that Hancock has been in the regu-
lar army for forty years. The boys will
understand just how much of a man Of the
people he is There's such divinity doth
hedge n,ajor-general in the regular
army that they Will not be able to get
sufficiently acquainted with him to vote
for hlm.'

A Card.

The Sun takes considerable credit to
Mr.. Emmens, it's editor, who is one of
the commissioners of Bureigh county,
for, as it alleges, not permitting Burleigh
county to pay my claim for funding the
debt of the county; and claims that Bur-
leigh was the only county in the territory
which refused to allow a similar claim.
1t, for the purpose of impeaching my in
tegrity and cxalling the virtue of Mr.. EN-
mons, refers to the Indictment of the
Lawrence comfy officers, who were
charged-the treasurer with giving and
the commissioners with receiving bribes
in connection with similar claim. They
demanded and received share in what
thev were pleased to regard the speils,
and were indicted, as they should have
been. The bonds of Burlcigh, Book
1nrs. Grand Forks and Moody counties
were funded under special act of the
LEGISLATURE, and the prosecuting attorney
Of this judicial district filed with the
commissioners of Grand Forks county a
written opinion justitying them in max
inr a similar allowance. The board OF
commissioners allowed a similar COM
mission to Judge Bowen for funding
our first floating debt; was also allowed
= commission for funding the debt repre-.
sented by our second series OF bonds. ana
Mr.. Emlnons admits that every county in
the territory paid a similar claim pre-
septcd by the county treasurer. Ii am
not entitled to the sum claimed, 90 not
want it: but do not care to be classed
with the brihc-takers and e-givers of
Lawrence county. [ have asked nothing

Life in the Polar REGIONS.

Interview with Nordcnskjold in Chicago Times.
ct is impossible to form an idea of a
tempest in the polar seas. The icebergs
are like floating rocks whirling along a
rapid current. These crystal mountains
dash against each other, backward and
forward, bursting with a roar like thun-
der, and returning to the charge until,
losing their equilibrium, they tumble
over in a cloud of spray, upheaving the
ice fields, which fall afterward like the
crack OF whip lash on the boiling sea.
The sea gulls fly away screaming, and
often black shining whale comes for
an instant putting to the surface.
When the midnight sun grazes the
horizon, the floating mountains and the
rocks seem immersed in wave of pur-
pie light. The cold is by no means so
insupportable as is supposed. We
passed from heated cabin at thirty
degrees above zero to forty seven
degrees below zero in the open air
without Inconvenience.
ga much higher degree of cold
becomes, however, insutferable if there
is wind. At fifteen degrees below zero
IL steam, as it from a boiling kettle,
rises from the water. At once frozen
by the wind, it falls in u fine powder.
The phenomenon is called ice smoke
At forty degrees the snow and human
bodies also smoke, which smoke changes
at once into millions OF tiny particles
like needles of ice, which ill the air and
make light continuous noise, like the
rustic of stiff silk. At this tempera-
ture the trunks of trees burst asunder
with loud report, the rocks break up
and the earth opens and vomits smok-
ing water, Knives break in cutting
butter. Cigars go out by contact with
At night the eyelids are covered with a
crust of ice, which must be carefully
removed before one can open them.

Rich congressman.
WaShing tou Letter,

see paragraph floating around the
newspapers to the effect that Senator
Henry G. Davis is the richest man in
West Virginia. | guess this is true,
and, like all rich men in congress, he
did not inherit, but earned his money.
When he was seventeen years old Sen
ator Davis was a brakeman on the
Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad. He was
promoted from one position to another
until he became a man of considerable
Importance upon the road, when he
found more lucrative employment as
uperlntendent OF coal mines in West
Virginia. Here he began to grow rich
until by able management and wise
foresight he accumulated an immense
fortune. Senator Davis is man of
some oddities, and often annOys his
fellow senators with the persistency
with which he pursues whatever he
undertakes, whether it be an ignus
fatus or something practical; but,
leaving the hobbies out of consideration,
he is an excellent man and a useful
senator.
The rich congressman are Newberry
Of Michigan, Morton aud Starin OF New
York, Loring and Russell of Messachn-
sets, Singleton of Illinois and the rich
senators are Sharon and Davis of
NtFdud, ION CduloEOll, DdNlS OIL w est
Virginia and Davis of Illinois, McPher-
son Of New Jersey and Baldwin of
Michigan and, as | stated, they all
commenced life in poor and humble
circumstances.
Senator Baldwin made his money in
the mercantile business, commencing
in small way in Detroit in 1888, about
the time the late Senator Chandler
commenced.
Congressman Newberry made his
money in manufacturing. He has been
a jack at all trades, railroad man,
civil engineer, a lawyer and a maEufac-
turer. He is now president of thirty
five corporations for manufacturing
enterprises.
Judge Davis, of Illinois, made his by
wise investments in the early history Of
that State. Gen. Singleton made his
in a similar way.
Morton of New York, commenced
early as merchant, and moved from
New England to New York just in time
to catch the flood time at the COM
mencement Of the war. Mr.. Starin was
clerk in drug store when he was
boy, but got beginning as a boatman
and now controls more water craft than
any man in the world.
Sharon and Jones made their money
in mines.

dealing.

A Miracle Worker.
ONE OF THE REMARKABLE STORIES NOW
ON ITS TRAVELS.

WYTHEy1LLE, Va, April 13.-For
some weeks past the people of Scott
county have been terribly excited over
| the miracles which are alleged to have
been performed by Richard Miller of
| that county. His fame has extended
all over this section of the State, and
hundreds of the afflicted are daily
visiting him. Miller is a middle-aged
man, employed as the keeper of
McMullin's mill, near Estillville. He is
deeply religious, and claims to have had
a dream a month ago in which the idea
was impressed upon him that with
Gods help he could perform wonderful
cures simply through faith. He says
that the next day after the dream, after
fervent prayer, be healed a sick man by
touching him. The intelligence Of such
miracle went all over the country, and
the afflicted OF all kinds came to him
and were healed, it is said. by the SIM
Wertz, 9 photographer at Abingdon,
lytic uncle, the seat Of the PARALYSIS
being in the mouth, and the man
thereby was deprived of both speech and
hearing. Miller looked at the afflicted
man, and, after short prayer, touched
him and told him that before he reached
home he would be we'll. Last night, as
Mr.. Wertz entered the door OF his
house, it is said that his hearing and
speech came back to him, and to-day he
is apparently hale and hearty. Miss
Irene Newton, beautiful young lady
OF Bristol, Tenn, helpless from rheu-
matism, was brought to Miller last
week, and when an attempt was made
to lift her in the carriage, she rose from
the Sedan chair without assistance, it is
said, and declared that she was entirely
well. One of the most wonderful Of
the alleged miracles Of Miller was the
cure Of Mr.. Peter Whitesell, who has
been for some years afflicted with
CANCER. The cancer was touched, and
in three days, according to reports, had |
