hees. We thought Calkins got enough of
joint debates four years ago.-Sentinel.
The brutality of this remark is only exceed
ed by it's impudence. Four years ago four
joint debates were arranged between Major
Calkins and Governor Gray. With the ex-
ception of the last, they were held as agreed
upon, and it is safe to say that Governor
Gray has no reason to felicitate himself on
the figure which he cut in those discussions.
Major Calkins conducted himself with con-
spicuous ability. He was unable. however,
to enter the fourth debate owing to a COM
plete physical prostration. which his physi-
clans, Drs. Kitchen and Farrell, pronounced
not only serious, but highly dangerous.

bates, after holding three of them, what shall

at best, and it required a high degree Of patri-
otism and courage to carry a mar through its
ordinary routine without betraying his man
hood or his faith. But the lot of the prisoner
of war was far harder than that of the soldier
in tie ranks. The horrors Of the Southern
prison-pens have probably never been ade-
quately described. There are many descrip-
lions extant which make the blood run cold,
but those who endured the horrors say the de-
scriptions fall short of the reality. General
Sherman once said, "'War is he'll, and the
treatment of Union prisoners of war came
near realizing it.
Such experiences create a common bond of
sympathy and a very close tie of comrade-
ship, and it is not surprising that the brave
men who suffered in Libby prison and Ander-
s~onville should be drawn together while they
live by a peculiar bond of sympathy. 1t was
a hard lot of war which for many months
prevented their exchange and compelled them
to suffer the tortures of an unnecessarily cruel
confinement, but, after all these years, they
may find some compensation in the enjoyment
of the friendships formed in prison walls and
in realizing the fact that their peculiar hard
ships entitle them to peculiar honor. The
Journal feels quite sure that it voices the
feelings of all loyal men in wishing the ex-
prisoners of war long life and happiness.

The Food mt Camp Perry.

CHICAGO. Sept. 1e.-A dispatch from jacksonville,
Fla. to the Times says: Hearing that a woman had
returned to Jacksonville after a spell of fever and two
weeks soiourn at Camp Perry, and that she had
some revelations 20 make, your correspondent saw
her. She said: II was on my way to Atlanta, in
tending later on to join my husband at Boston. 1

18th in stead of returning here. but / was almost
starving and could not stand the trip. i came back
to Jacksonville to get my strengthen plain words, to

passed through the city yesterday bound for St
Louis, where he will deliver an address. From that

Of scheduled speeches there in favor of Harrison and
Morton. In a short conversation Mr.. Douglass said:
II am not overconfdent, but ! feel as sure as exist
that the Republican party win win. The neople are
thoroughly aroused on the tariff question. and in the
Northern States they look on Mr.. Cleveland's free
trade tendencies with dstrust. Heis bound to be de-
feated on this issue in every doubtful State. New York
being no exception. am going to Indiana to talk to
my people there, but that is hardly ecessary.iThey will

work in the South after that, but l have made no ar.

It is ridiculous for Chairman Brice TO claim even q

WHEN the Indianapolis News says that the
condition Of the working classes in America
is as bad as that Of the working classes in
England, it flies in the face Of all evidence.
While there may be "spots' in the United
States that approach the low level across the
sea, they are but spots. while the general ay-
erags everywhere in frse-trade England is as
bad as the worst in this country.
