TWO SIDES TO A STORY.
GEN. sherman and Charles A. Dana
Gross Swords.

Special to the Globe.
PITTsBuRG, Pa, Feb. 19.-Gen. Sher-
man arrived here yesterday on visit to his
daughter. In conversation with a reporter
he bitterly resented the charges made by
Editor Dana i'm the New York Sun that
Sherman had endeavOred to arrange total
cessation of hoStilites by representing to
Gen. Johnston and the rebel forces that he
(Shernan) was arranging with the authOri-
ties at Washington for an acknowledge
ment of the right of the South to hold
slaves. Speaking of Dana in the war the
general said; He followed our army dur
ing the war as a spy. 1t was generally un-
derstood that he was tolerated spy. Dana
talks about my favOring slavery. Indeed
Why, l secured the freedom of a hundred
slaves to his one.
EDITOR DANA'S STATEMENT.
NEW YORK. Feb. 19.-The Tribune
will tomorrow publish an interview with
Charles A. Dana. editor of the Sun. in re-
gard to the statements made by Gen. Sher-
man i'm an interview at Pittsburg. The
following is the essential part of the talk:
s'It is hardly worth WHILE said Mr. Dana
''to take any notice of what Gen. Sherman
said. There is no logic and no coherency in
his remarks. The fact that he made a com
pact with Gen. Johnston, undertaking to
settle the political questions involved in the
civil war and that the government repudi-
ated the compact, is too notorious to be dis
puted One of the public reasons for repu-
dating this compact, given by the executive
at the time, was that it would re-establish
slavery, and it is very interesting to find that
this view of the case, taken in Washington
by President johnson and Mr.. Stanton, al q
by Gen. Grant as well, was also taken by the
Confederate cabinet at Charlotte. Whether
Gen. Sherman himself favored slavery or not
is nothing to the point. Gen. Sherman's per
sonal abuse OF me is equally foreign to the
subject. He says: He (Dana) followed oul
army during the war
AS SPY.
1t was generally understood that he was G
tolerated spy This is too absurd. 1 wa:
with the army as the representative of the
president, sent thel g by him and it was known
that / reported to him through the secretary o1
war every day. was assistant secretary OF
war myself. and there was not general il
the army, either the Army of the TenEesset
or the Army of the Cumberland, who did no
perfectly well understand my position anC
the duties it imposed. From the beginning
to the end was on the best of terms witt
them all. including Gen. Sherman, and in al
my reports of military operations ] do no
think there was a single instance in which
had occasion TO speak of him with anything
but praise, but fortunately.I was not presen
at his convention with Gen. Johnston. il
the case of Gen. Grant, especially, nv rela
tions were always of the most cordial an,
friendly character and when he went dowr

expression Of surprise, and she stepped into

A colleague of Oliver said he recognized
the force of his objection to Clevelands pol
icy, but that it was his opinion that man
who could unite the County Democracy
would be Secretary OF Navy Whitney. and
for this reason he should not be overlooked
as a presidential quantity. 4 pennsylvania

I'VE are going 10 nominate western man

sugar and Rice Men Dissatisfied.


WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.-The more Mr..
Morrison's tariff bill is studied, the more
evident it becomes that it will never be-
come a law in its present shape. 1t is
looked upon by tie members from the sugar
and rice producing states as direct attack
upon their most important industries, and
they will resent it. If the bill is to get
ANYTHING like the unanimous support OF the
South, it must ''let up'' on sugar and rice
and iron, and when this is done there will
not be much left OF it, for the reduction in
receipts is mostly Oh those three articles.
The WAYS and means committee may be
able to prune it down 10 such proportions
that the Southern statesmen will support
it. but this seems doubtful. The indlca-
tions. too, are that the ways and means
committee will do nothing of the sort. but
that its Democratic members are inclined to
gulp it down blindly because il comes from
the hands of Mr.. Morrison. A good deal
OF interest is felt ON Mr.. RandalPs pros
pective course in regard TO the bill. He has
not expressed himself on this subject, but
it NAV be set down as certain that he will
not support measure so distasteful. not
only TO his own state. but to the parts of
the South where he has so many adherents.

: AN OFF YEAR,

This is political phrase but will hold good
for us in our demonstration. We wish to
show that 1886 has been year entirely of.
1t has shown us how stubborn 1t could be,
and do tho "weather act" entirely to suit its
own desire.
In the spring we came near being washed
out. In the summer we had very cool
weather, affecting our sales of summer fab
RIGS and now, when we should have good,
solid, snappy fall weather, it is warm enough
to go without any extra wraps whatever; so
you can very easily see that merchants cal
oulations amount to nOthing-big stocks and
no move The only conclusion that we have
come to Is that we might effect extra sales by
slashing the profit from our goods and dlspos-
ing Of them at mere margin above cost.
We still continue to dwell on Wraps, as that
department is surely overstocked, IL the
weather continues in this channel.
