Four Military Stories.


AT the club the other day they were re-
counting some "reminiscences of the war,
when an old general on the retired list of
the army remarked: - -. 80, 80
Il will illustrate to you the amount of
influence possessed by officers over men,
and the high state of discipline that pre-
vailed during the first months of the war,
by the following incident that occurred
at the battle Of Bull Run: In the heat
of the action an officer, who has since be-
come prominent and well known through
out the country, was then in command of
brigade ON the right of the line. While
riding over the field he discovered a sol
dier concealed in hole in the ground,
which was of just sufficient dimensions TO
afford him shelter. The General rode up
TO him, inquired as TO his regiment, and
ordered him to join it at once. The man
looked him full in the face, placed his
thumb upon his nose, and replied:
"Oh, no you don't, old fellow You
want this hole YOURSELF"
This reminded another old veteran of
n peculiar military dialogue he listened
TO in the course of one of the battles of
the rebellion. | forget which. The sol
dier was going off the field too hastily,
and the provost guard cried

MRS j EILEN FOSTER SATISFIED.

The Temperance Planks In the Republican
Platform All That Should be Desired.
Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster, the well-En0Sn
temperance orator, was seen and asked
for her views on the temperance planks
OF the Republican platform.
"Planks?' she repeated, II only re-
cognizo one. That regarding free
whisky, which has been referred to as q
temperance plank, was not introduced
as a temperance measure at all. 1t is
purely economic, and rs such is entirely
proper aud in accordance with the pro.
tective views Of tho party. But it has
no significance as representing the views
of the committee or the convention on
the Temperance question. At the same
time, the repeal of the whisky tax is
something that has been urged for years
by the best temperance people OF the
country"
"You consider Mr.. BoutelLe's yesolu
ton entirely satisfactory?
"Yes, do, most emphaticaiiy. Itwai

tional Convention. Had it been n tenn

bition State, Iowa. But coming, as
say, from u National political conven.
ton, it commends itself to me, possess
ing, as.it does, two important features
These are, tirSt-that the control Of the
liquor traffic is q matter OF State legisla
ton, and not in the domain OF Con
gressional action. Second-if it vert
the proper subject of National Legislation
it would be unwise for party to declare
in favor OF a specific form Of Legislation
when there is such divergence o!
views rs to what that legislation should
be. Tho prohibitory States would moi
be willing to be committed, to high
license, and the party in high license
States would resent u declaration in favor
OF Prohibition.
~ thing it expresses in the best form
the present attitude Of the Republican
party throughout tho Nation toward the
temperance question"

The Committee begs TO state that II has been

that each Congressional DlstricS, at the time

one Of the main heads OF the Democratic

on the slavery question"
"What do you think Of tariff reduc-
ton ?" II believe in letting well enough
alone. If it is necessary to reduce the
revenue, there arc other ways OF doing
it.'
"How?" "By taking off about one
half the duty on sugar and paying q
bounty to the Louisiana planters equal
to the duty taken of for half dozen
years or so. Take the internal revenue
tax of tobacco. That would cut it down

Committee had to contend against the
strong prejudice existing there against
the Democratic party.
When Cleveland was electedin 1884 it
was not long before he recognized tie
Mugwumps. He offered to make Charles
Francis Adams his Secretary Of War in
the face OF the demands made upon him
10 give the Office ~ General Collins. lie
finally gave it to Endicott, who was
completely acceptable to the Mugwumps
and dissatisfied the Democrats by max
ing Phelps Minister to England. His
nomination OF Saltoustall us Collector
and Corse as Postmaster Of Boston were
conspicuously to the satisfaction Of the
Mugwumps. 0ld.time Democrats, like
Frederick o. Prince and Josiah Abbott,
were extremely disgruntled over what
they thought was Cleveland's .indiGer-
ence TO the Democrats and split in the
party, which might have been serious in
It's extent, was threatened, but was sue
cessiully avoided when Cleveland's sa-
gacious leadership gave the party dis
tinct issue in the shape OF policy for
tariff reform.

Philadelphia PreI.
People who are paying nearly fifty
cents out OF every dollar they earn for
taxes on many OF the necessaries Of life
when tho money is not needed by the
Government, and who see our industries
crippled by high taxes upon their raw
materials, will not be deceived by mere
assertions without facts, and why not
give the truth.-Philadelphia Times.
Why not begin by giving the truth,
then? The government collected in
customs taxes in the last fiscal year re-
ported $2l7, 2SG,S03. OF this, 81, 200, 462
was raised on luxuries. None OF this
sum could have been part of tho NEARLY
fifty cents out OF every dollar they earn"
which people "are paying" "for taxes on
many Of tho necessaries OF life." The
remainder is Sl75,5l6, 43l, and this again
is not "iifty cents out of every dollar
"peoplc" in the United States earn, but
less than 50 per head.
Even OF this sum, SIS, 0l6,0S6 or about
81 II head, is collected by duty onsugar
which Mr.. Mills and his associates. after
consulting with the head OF the Sugar
Trusts propose to reduce less than one
fifth. As far us sugar is concerned, the
Democratic party and the Times are in
favor OF the tax levied on it, and, de-
Quoting this sum there is Just Sll7 ,400,-
745 left, which covers every dollar Of
Protective tariff levied over which the
present issue is waged.
Instead OF being for the people Of the
United States "fifty cents out OF every
dollar they earn" it is less than % per
head, or $40 to the family. The Times
may know people" who earn only $50 a
year. We do not. Granting even that
the tariff advanced price by its amount,
and it does not, the average becomes 81
n head, and the Times idea OF "fiity cents
out of every dollar they earn" gives
people" yearly earning Of $40. We
know OF none. Does the TimeSi
OF course it doesn't. But having rip
ped up its Free Trade windbag, we have
word OF advice to this new convert.
When you arc on the FREQ Trade side
talk big, but do not use figures. They
are fatal. Rattle on about trusts, ""mo-
nopoly, ""btood.suckingtaritfs" and"vast
profits" but, on your life, don't venture
into no figures. Steer clear OF the facts.
Avoid statistics. In time you will learn
this, and, meanwhile. in your own elo-
quent language, remember that there
is only one way 10 command public con-
fidence in tariff discussion-that is to
tell tho exact truth and the whole truth"

aires, the men whom Harvard College
had badly stuffed with the British doc
trine Of Free Trade Cleaned from British
Free Trade text books. 1t had no SYM
pathy with the thousands who toll by
the day for their daily bread; the daily
wage.toilers had NO sympathy with IT.
The Mugwump movement had no real
connection with the productive ener-
gies OF the country. Begotten by theo-
rists, it was wet.nursed by importers
glad to find talking, writing and con-
tributing allies in the aristocratic at
mosphere OF Beacon Hill and Cam
bridge. 1t opened way into politics
| for men SO little versed in the art Of
drawing other men that they never
could have commanded a following in
either party.
Not the least interesting feature ofthe
movement was its social side, upor
which the World correspondent has
touched and which would well stan(
elaboration. 1t was "the proper thing
| in the exclusive circles Of Beacon Hill
to be Mugwump, for, to be a MugwumE
was to set up onself to DO better thar
any OF the millions who remained in the
Republican party, and too good to cont
down to the level Of the other millions
who took service under the Democrats
banner without special pretentions Il
social status and holiness. Mugwumpisn
became society "fad" among the aristo
Gratis who have time for the cultivation
OF that sort OF thing.
Mugwumpism has passed away, for, a
the World writer says, there arc no Mug
wumps. They have become Democrat
because they are now, as they were fou
wears ago, Free Traders. The masque
rade is over. Tho line OF battle is clearl
marked. The fighting men are bein
,uarshalled, those who believe in Ere
Trade against those who believe in Pre-
lection. There is no place Of leadershi
for tho gentry who wear silk stocking
and powdered wigs. They will dro
back to look after the baggage wagonI
or remain at the Capital to amuse tn
King while the lighting goes on.
