drawn tightly ho will lcse all control, and the

of perversity seemed TO have taken possession u

tory motions on one side, plentfully intefspersed
with chatting and abuse from the other, Pike,
who was nearly frantic with rage, still preserved
calm exterior. At last his patience gave way, and
pounding with the gavel until partial quiet had
been restored, he exclaimed: 1t has been moved
and seconded that the house adjourn; all In favor
of that motion, &C. No one had made such u
proposition, and there were but two feeble ayes.
Those opposed shouted the speaker Aud q
perfect chorus of noes went up, that fairly shook
the chamber. But Pike was not dsconcerted,

cember 81, 1872 died the old eighteenth, md the

tury. To rccapltulate IN brief: II, on the dial OF
clock, 60 minutes must pass before the hour is
recorded, and when the clock strikes twelve, we
know that twelve hours have ilown, " is therefore
correct TO say that tho very first second that we
wero permitted TO write 1890, that eighteen hun
dred years had passed. Proof: This, the nine
teehth century Of our timo, stands
TO THE LEFT OF 1900,
and this the eighty third year of the present con-
tury, stands to the left of 49, and we cannot prop.
ery use those figures dates Of record until their
lime has fully expired. We know when the
clock strikes twelve midnight, new day is born,
aud neither will any one claim that the next sixty
minutes intervening between the striking Of twelve
and OF one are tho last moments or the last hour
Of tho old day, or that from one until two is the
first hour OF the now day; and II Is Just as absurd
to say that the next year after 1900 is born Is the
last year OF the eighteenth century because IL

COMPULSORY RETIREMENT.
How the senate Amendment Will AGect
ths Army.


To he Editor Of THE REPunLicANi
At least 05 per cent Of the officers Of the Army
have petitoncd for compulsory retirement at
sixty-two years, that they may be placed on the
same footing with tho Navy. The House by q
large majority answered their appeal, the Military
Committee aud tho Appropriation Committee
adopted the age fixed by the House and 50 recom-
mendcd, but tho Senate provides that the age shall
be sixty.four by majority Of only six votes. The
present law which has been In operation for years
makes sixty.two the age AMI why that should
be altered now and DO made different than the
age fixed bv custom aud In the Navy Is past un.
Outstanding. Tho Army has asked for bread and
the Senate Is giving thom II Stone. The following
STATEMENT FROM RECORDS
Of the War Department will show what chances
an officer has Of ever reaching the G2, to say moth
ing of 6i OF ~ officers entering the service at 49,
all but ! had died before attaining the age of 62.
or lgD entering at % years, hut survived at 62.
OF 10 entering at % years, but survived at G2.
OF 46 entering Mt ~ years, but survived at 62 Of
" entering % years, none reached 90 years. OF
p entering at ~ Yeas, mono reached 62 years OF
l3 entering at 36 years, mono reached 62 years OF
303 officers (ail whose ages were OF reCord) who
entered tho service at various ages, from II to g.
but 81 ever attained the age Of 81 years or almost
exactly in hundred. Now. It will readily be
that the greater the age ixed the loss benefit
accrucs to the service.
THE OBJECT OF COMPULSORY RETIREMENT
is TO remove the present stagnatiOn In promotion
but making the age "a only puts Off the benefit two
years longer than the ARMY hoped for Under n
6i.year law there win be in eight years only
eleven retiTemens In the cavalry. nine in the ar.

Life nnd Work of Garfield.

The Life and Work of Garfield" is by
John Clark Ridpath, l.. l.. D., and is pub
lished by Jones Brothers q Co., of Cln-
cinnati, Chicago, Philadelphia and
Kansas City. 1t embraces an account
of his struggles in childhood, his career
as a soldier, his success as a Statesman,
his elevation 10 the Presidency and his
dastardly assassination. DIR. Rldpath Is
a professor of belles-lettres; an expert
in the science of language; an essayist
of enviable reputation; one of the most
eminent of living historians; and he
not only brings To this work heart tull
of love and reverence for its subject, but
a mind completely stored with its lore,
and capable of using il to the best adj
vantage. We are persuaded that TINS IS
the work the American people want as
a permanent memorial of Garfield.
William A. ROhn, of Perry township.
is agent for this work and Will canvass
several townships. He Is an efficient
worker and will satisfy anyone that Pro-
fessOl Ridpath's work is authentic, and
well and enticingly written. Professor
Ridpath is we'll known as fascinating
writer of history. The work is full and
complete, and well illustrated with steel
engravings. The melancholy death of
President Garfield is of too recent occur
ence to require an extended notice.
Every American citizen should have this
volume, that they might renew, in
memory, from time to time, his life and
death. .E# .n.. ..|
