Gen. Gerdon's Views Of Death.
london Telegrnph.l

"God knows what my anxiety was. Not for
my life, for died years ago 20 all ties in this
world aud to all its comforts, honors, and
glories." 1t was on Sept. IL, 1877, when
on his expedition TO Shaka, 500 miles south
west of khart0um, with four companies of in
different troops, to break the neck of slave
raiding in its very den. that Gordon wrote
these characteristic words, which may be fifty
quoted at time when there is too much
reason to fear that he has actually laid down
his life for those whom he had vainly
striven to save. They breathe precisely
the spirit with which, Gordon always
regarded life and death. "God has given you,"
chors to this earth, you have wives and
families; /, thank God. have none of them,
and am free = You are only called on
at intervals to rely on your God; am obliged
continually to do so. mean by this that you
have only great trials, such as the illness of q
child, when you feel yourself utterly weak, now
and then. am constantly in anxiety. The body
rebels against this constant leaning on God; 1T
is a heavy strain on it; it causes appetite to
cease Find me the mainland L will take him
as my help-whO utterly despiseS money, name,
glory, hOnOr-one who never wishes TO see his
home again, one who looks to God as the source
of good and controller of evil, one who has
healthy body and an energetic spirit and one
who looks on death as a release from misery. If
you cannot find him, then leave me alone"
That instructive clinging to life, which is
natural to all men, Gordon seems TO have over
come rs completely as Ignatius Loyola, or John
Wesley, or Cromwolis Puritans. When his
poor Soudancse lambs pressed him on every
side with their complaints. he wrote: Il must
not complain if they have no thought of what
l have already gone through. There is only
one issue to it, and that is death. and l often
feel ] wish it would come and relieve me-"
One can hardly doubt that if Gordon was in
fact stabbed as he left the palace he bad SO
bravely held for II months, he saw IN the dag
ger only an instrument of deliverance. In
every reference to death it was with him the
great release 81 value my life for naught,
and should only leave WEAKNESS for perfect
peace"

CHE ILLINOIS sENATORsHIP.

The Illinois Senatorship is in this posi-
ton: Owing to over-cOnfiderce last Fall the
Republicans of that State neglected to pay
sufficient attention to the legislative ticket,
and the result was, that while they carried
the State by $4,000 plurality, they have a
majority Of but one in the Senate, while the
Democrats have a like majority in the
House, which makes tie on the joint ballot.
One hundred of the 102 Republicans are firm
friends of Gen. Logan, while two are disaf-
fected to him for personal reasons. The 1902
Democrats are not united Oh any man. The
balioting so far has shown that Hon. VIII
liam T. Morrison has 81 stanch supporters,
while the remaining eight are hostile to him,
and have cast their votes for various candi.
dates One of the disaffected Republicans
q Mr.. Mcmillan, of Chicago-has voted for
Gen. Logan, making the total vote fer that
gentleman 101-two less than majority of
the whole. 1t is not likely that Col. Morri-
son can poll any more votes than he has al :
ready done. OF course there is but one
sentiment among Republicans all over the
country, and really among all whose wish
is for the best interests of the Senate
and the country, and that is that some Of the
Democrats, seeing the hopelessness Of elect

IT'S RIGuTFULNESS.

The strongest testimony as to the innate
riGhtfulness and justice of the provisions of
the Mexican Pension Bill comes from the
South itself. Several States in that section
have on their statute books laws which en-
body its main ideas, but apply them to those
who served in the Confederate army.
Georgia, Florida, and other States are pay
ing pension of from 80 to Sl2 month to
every man who served in the Confederate
army who is dependent on his own labor for
support, and who is now disabled from per-
forming that Labor.
There is now no question in their minds
but what this support is rightfully due such
men, ana from their point Of view they are
logically correct. They claim that the rebel
lion was 4 war between the States, while we
maintain, of course, that it was 4 reasonable
revolt against the Government. They hold
that the men who fought in the Southern
armies were in the military service Of the
several States, and that il is now the duty of
those States to support those who are physic-
ally wrecked, because the presumption is al
ways so strong, as TO almost reach positive
proof, that their disability springs from their
duty in the field They say that the support
Of these men is not charity. but the payment
of a just and honest debt incurred TO these
men when their States took them away from
their families and put them in the field.
1t is on similar grounds that we have
urged the passage Of the Mexican Pension
Bill, which has been resisted by men who
have voted at home for pensioning Conicd-
crate soldiers
We say in regard to Union soldiers as
they argue in behalf OF Confederate soldiers
that their disability is the direct result of
their service in the field, and that the Gov
eminent which took them from sheir homes
and subjected them to such strains and
hardships owes them now a support, and in
decency and honor cannot withhold It.
The Southerners say that their broken
down veterans must be taken care of by
some one, and that the State which had the
benefit of their services must lift the burdcn
of such care from the shoulders Of their
kindred, or the community in which they
reside
We have argued that the disabled Union
veterans have TO be supported by some one,
and that it is the duty OF the Government
which had the benefit OF their services to
lift the burden of their support from the
shoulders Of their relatives and of the COM
munities in which these soldiers make their
homes.
We cannot see how any man who approves
of his State paying pensions TO every disa-
bled Confederate soldier can logically Justify
himself in opposing the Governments pay
ing pension TO every disabled Union
soldier.

THEBATTLE OF CHARLOTTESVILLE

BY EX-Gov. JOHN C. LEE, OF OHIO.
We have received from Ex-Gov. John c.
Lee, OF Ohio, an article relative to the battle
of Charlottesville, which we have been en-
deayoring to obtain from him for long
while, and which is Of the highest impor-
fance Gov. Lee was al the time of the battle
Colonel Of the 55th Ohio, Second Brigade
Eleventh Corps. This was one of the few
regiments found in line when StonewalI
jackson made his terrible onslaught on
Rockers right wing. Gov. Lee was one of
the "Ohio Colonies" sneeringly alluded to
by Howard and Devens when they sent up
TO headquarters reported waverings of the
impending attack. When the storm burst
he, aided by Coils. Orland Smith, of the I'D
Ohio, and s. ]. McGivarty, of the 61st, made
heroic efforts to stay the tide of disaster, and
they gained large portion of the honor
tyrung from that Inflated field. Gov. Lee
was as gallant man as Ohio had on the
field, and he did his duty that day SPLEEN
didly, as the histories of the engagement
testify. Had his waverings and those of the
other Colonies been attended to, the issue of
the battle would have been different.
The National tribune., 1885-02-26

perior to party ties and vote for the man
whose eminent fitness for the Office is con-
fessed by all. AS we have said before, Gen.
Logan's candidacy for the position cannot be
considered partisan. He is a man of such
shining abilities, and so tried and proved in
the public service, that his reelection is de-
manded by the good of the country. He can
be of more service in the Senate than any
man who may he selected to succeed him;
for, able and honest as such successor might
he, he could not be expected to have the rich
experience which is possessed 10y Gen. Logan.
We feel confident that this view will prevail
at no distant day, and that some Democrats
of superior liberality and patriotism, having
done their duty to their own party candi-
date, will come out and cast their votes for
Gen. Logan. This is a result which will be
applauded by the country at large.

According to Consul Bullock. the WAGES of q
