CITY Troops Were the Toughest.

Il noticed a few days ago an article
concerning the mortality among the Ger
man members Of the o. 4. r, said Capt
William T Haskell. of Washington. D.
C.. to a reporter, and was struck by the
facts it presented have not hitherto
paid any attention to this question, but
since the matter has been called TO my
notice recollect that the deaths among
the German veterans of my acquaintance
have been very frequent during the last
few years Another point in regard to
Grand Army mortality which | have
studied with some care Is the fact that
che death rate of those who originally
came from the country far exceeds that
Of the city men 1t IS generally supposed
that country life is conducive t. health
but as far as the records of the war de
partment prove anything, the contrary is
the case.
When in the Army OF the Potomac /
served in regiment recruited IN the city
Of New York Stoddard's Vermont brigade
was in our division and it was a remar1la-
bic fact that those stalwart mountaineers,
men Of large size and great muscular de
velopment, were far more subject to dis
ease than our city boys and died like
sheep in the Chickahominy swGmps while
the death rate among the city regiments
was very low comparatively Since the
close of the war. and especially during the
last ten years, the survivors Of the coun-
try regiments, at least in the east, for |
know nothing of the west show much
higher mortality than the metropolitan
troops, and sickness is much more FIRE
quent. have heard from French and
German officers that the same state Of
affairs prevails in the armies Of those
countries, and from all these facts | am
inclined to believe that the general i'm

tirely false st Louis Post Dispatch

did the population of 81 900, 600 thirty

to the Introduction of malt liquors,
which have driven cut the stronger

among US than in Great Britain Snd most

II Isn't American, You Know
cincinnati Enquirer.


Mr.. JSy Gould returned from his brie
s jourH amid the almond blossoms OF tht
Eastern Mediterranean, and the orange
groves Of Florida to fod out that the
same old, weary game was in progress
tie game Of those who have nothing enC
seek to fill the vacuum by stealing from
those who have something.
This is beginning to become sn art In
this cOuntry-almost "cult." Brains
ard education 90 into it. When "Saap
Cannon and Quirk" sought to steal from
"Mr. Aubry" "Ten Thousand q
Year" for the benefit of "rittIe-
bat Titmouse" they brought TO the
struggle both remarkable ability and o
considerable amount OF money. They
were not only content to take the case
upon "contingent," but they furnished
funds for the support Of their client. Ii
is mournful to mention that this same
shameful practice low obtains IN these
United States.
1t is refreshing to see Mr.. Gould meet
the issue squarely. Many men yet living
are old enough to recall the at
tempt to blsck-mail Fernando Wood
when he was q member Of Con-
gress. The black mailer went to the
penitentiary, and Mr.. Wood Was more
respected than ever before. That is the
wsy to do it. If Mr.. Gould pursues the
same vigorous course with the hsrpies
who seek to prey upon him he will de-
serve ard receive the approval OF both
press and people.
The Paris system of professional black
mailing, which Gsooriesu so vigorously
=;
nent. The temper of our people Is not in
accord with it. They have q tendency to
attach the thieves and scoundrels to the
limb of sycamore tree, even before Judi
cisl process can reach them. Such heroic
treatment is, CT course, utterly wrong,
but what are YOU going to do II the people
insist upon IT?
Mr.. Jay Gould has made q good deal OF
money and has, st the same time, greatly
contributed to the development of this
country. He had little or nothing
to start with-no better chance
than any other man. While he has
grown rich himself, he has furnished
hundreds OF thousands OF people with
daily employment, and they never have to
ask twice for their wages. But, simply
because he has succeeded, the thieves
seek to "mllk" him. They do not know
their man. "a million for defense, but
not one cent for tribute"
In the affair of "Snap, Cannon and
Quirk," il we remember rightly, "Snep"
and "Quirk" got out OF the way, and the
great brains of the concern, "Olly Gam
mon," committed suicide. "Mr. Aubrey"
received his property, and "Tittlebat Tit
mouse" went to the dogs. We ought to
do as we'll in matter Of this kind as
England. This is no country for black
mailers
