CURED to me that the further we get
from that war in time the greater it ap
pears. Young men and women who dc
not remember the civil war will be able
20 appreciate its magnitude and its i'm
portancc only when its survivors are all
dead, and it has wholly passed from the
memory Of the living isio the pages Of
history.
Ii remains with us an issue. an epoch,
the source and subject Of much Of our
national sentiment But how could it
be otherwise when SO many men who
participated in it still live TO talk Of the
most stirring scenes Of their existence:
WIZ. the other day ] was in the Office Of
The National Tribune. the soldiers paper,
and the editor told me he printed every
week an edition of ljJ. 600 copies, and
that lac had in his Office tho names and
addresses Of 500. 900 survivors of the war
who fought on the Federal side. These
men who are guarding the Capitol of the
nation, who are now engaged in tearing
up and repairing the seats in which
statesmen sit, were all soldiers.
While was walking about the dis
mantlcd senate chamber, thinking of the
war, a superintendent of laborcrs, a man
with one lex Of flesh and one of cork,
called out TO his assistants:
Handle that seat carefully, boys.
The man that sits in it lost a leg in the

he was on the other side feel a sort of

Especial Correspondence.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-AmOng the
group that surrounded Henry George
when the labor movement became 50
prominent, several years ago, was man
who. for many reasons, seemed fitted to
be n leader among men. His name was
Hugh owen PcntecOst. and lie holds the
same opinions and position with refer
once 10 the movement that he did then.
The people Of today are always thirstng
for something new. This may be one Of
the secrets Of Mr. Pentccost's influence,
ecr his ideas and beliefs ase certainly
novel.
He was born at New Harmony. Ind,
in 1873 lie describes the town MS a seat
Of Fouricrite community. which had
been founded by the Owen family. who
brought a colony over from England
and for whom Mr. pentccost was named.
This colony had many things in common,
and IFS members lived together like one
large family Mr.. Pcntcco,t says. "Thcre
has always been some socialisiic blood in
me" attribuiing the fact to his birth
place. Ills grandfather established a
similar community ten miles away in
Illinois, called Albion. Both towns are
still i'm existence. The family resided in
New Harmony only until the subject Of
this sketch was years old, but lived in
the ucighborhood until he became Of age
lie was printer in his youth, and spent
seven years at the case.
When 81 years old Mr.. Pcniccost came
east, entered Madison university, Ham
ilton. y. Y, and studied for the Baptist
ministry His first charge was at Rock
vile Centre, l.. l., in a church partly
self supporting and partly under the care
Of mission board. There he was mar
ricd While at this place no got into
trouble with his denomination because
he did not believe in close communion,
and was obliged TO give up his charge
He SAYS: IL was considerably exercised
about it. Then started an Independent
church in Brooklyn. called The Church
of the People, but gave it up after two
or three years.
He next became pastor Of liberal
Bapts church at Westerly. H. J., where
he was received with the distinct under
standing that be held liberal donomiua-
tiona views. During this pa,toratc,
which lasted several years, his wife died.
Up TO this time Mr. Penteco,t's
CHARGES had been i'm small places. He
now became pastor Of large Baptist
church at Hartford, Conn, being here
also received with the understanding
that lac was "hctcrodox on the commu-
Mon question" Ills pastorate at Hart
ford was very successful, between two
hundred and fifty and three hundred
persons uniting with the church through
his influence While in Hartford hc
married again.

went 10 the war were the virile. push
ing, indomitabc men Of the country; the
boys who staid at home adding 10 their
store Of wealth and learning while their
brothers were ncglecting private fortune
in their country's service still found
themselves outdone and ovcrmatched as
soon as the latter returned TO the activi-
ties and rivalrics Of peace.
In looking at these now upturned and
newly vanished desks occupied by
statesmen in their season. we are re-
minded most strikingly of the fact that
there was a Confederate army. Sur
prising as is the statement that Of 4Ol
national legislators 1863 fought in the
war between the states, it does not ex-
cite our amazemcnt nearly 50 much as
does this fact, that Of the 1G9 surviving
warriors almost one-half hail from the
south.
OF 242 senator's and representatives,
from the twenty states of the north in
the last congress IS were in the Union
army or navy.
OF % senator's and representatives. from
the ten states of the south which joined
openly in rebellion, 60 were in the Con-
federatc army or navy.
Of5s senator's and representatives from
the six border states Of Delaware. Mary

see and Missouri, 10 were in the Confed-
crate army and in the Federal.
OF senators and representatives, from
the two states, Colorado and Nebraska.
admitted TO the Union after the close Of
the war, 3 were in the Federal army.
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1889-09-15

In other words, the war comes 10 an
end: nearly quarter of a century
passes, and we then find one national
legislator out Of three from the north a
survivor of that conflict.
BIT from the former Confederate
States three legislators out of four bore
arms in behalf Of the cause that was lost
at Appomattox.
And if the philosophers are fond Of ex-
planning the activities and successes Of
human classes, let them tell us why,
with but a million war survivors of a
total population of $1,000, 900. two-ffths
of the members Of congress were once
wearsrs of the blue or the gray;
One thing which the philosophers will
tell Us is that there never was in the his
tory OF the world a war in which so
many young men bore arms as in the
rebellion. The smooth faced BOYS who
shouldercd muskct and marched TO the
front are the statesmen of today.
That this is literally true one may see
10y CHANGING at the records. Look any
where in the pages Of biography and YOU
