AN old soldier writes such cute little
letter tC the Union that it's just too sweet
for anything. 1t has Just the loveliest
little bloody shirt in it. scalloped on the
sides, shirred in front and cut on the bias
generally. 1t has in it, too, pretty lit>
tie story-much pret,ier than Mary and
her lamb-and besides it is something
cute and tells about how the good people
they call republicans fought a terrible
fight good many years ago against the
south-nO, against people they call dem
ocrats-and they were so fond of that
fight they have been talking about it ever
since. It's an awfully pretty story
Everybody should hear it, but then every
body will, because about election time
these good people they call republicans
that is, the awfully good republicans who
are not like the plain, every day ones
will tell it over and over again until
everything is settled. And if you are not
around where you can hear it this wear,
YOU needn't give up for you are sure to
hear it just whenever another election
comes up. After that it is laid away in
spices and things so that it won't spoil
until it is needed again

THE letter of S. Z. Robinson, editor OF
the Senaca SIM. South Dskata, and for-
merlv of this county, which was pub
listed last week with reference to w. F.
Crawford, republican candidate for the
state senate in this district, has created
much comment and Consideration among
the people generally, but especially among
the farmers. That man who was roll
ing in plenty should refuse to contribute
to the starving people of Dakota is more
than anyone can understand. And not
only did he refuse to contribute, but he
endeavored TO bring about deal by
which money could be made out of
those who were buying Eeeessaries
for the people in want. He was
not content with fair profit
nor with the market price, but
he wanted to get the benefits of a
shameful speculation. One would have
thought that bis refusal to help the un
fortunate would have been a sufficient
display of baseness without adding to it
the insults OF a mercenary speculator.
He has dug his own political grave. The
shroud is In preparation.

THE "Od Soldier" speaks in exultant
tones of a republican administration that
gave the Soldiers Home, at Quincy, SO
that the soldier could die in peace and not
in the poor house. In that home there
are two hundred democrats, but they find
it almost impossible to have their votes
recorded through the manipulations of
their republican comrades. Surely the
the old soldiers should wish TO live in
peace as well as die in peace. Battles
were not fought that particular party
should live in the ascendancy and trample
upon the rights of their fellows who
marched side by side IN time of war.

WASHINGTON CITY, Sept. 26.-Congress-
man James Sherman, of New York, is
the first public man outside of the state
Indiana to rally under the Harrison pres
Dental standard for 1892. In the course
of brief chat with Sherman he gave it
as his Judgment that not only would the
president receive denomination two
years hence, but that it would come to him
with practical unanimity.
why do reach that conclusion?" said
Sherman in reply to question. "I'll tell
you. First, 1t is because Gen Harrison
has made an excellent chief magistrate;
second, we must stand upon our record.
How can we consistently do this, and
eliminate the one man who has been so
great a factor in making that record?"
The Presidents Wishes.
"Does President Harrison desire a re-
nomination.
81 cannot say. I should suppose that
he did. There certainly is no improprie-
ty in doing so. Gen. Harrison is a shrewd
politician. He is thoroughly in line with
the sentiment of the Republican party.
They are pleased with his position on the
elections bill. They are especially pleased
with his appointees, who have been al
most without exception men of character
and ability"
Sherman also believes that Evarts will
be returned TO the senate next winter
should he desire a reelection.

THE CHARGES AGAINST WHEAT.
How the House Postmaster Is Alleged to
Have Sawed Wood"


WASHINGTON CITY, Sept. 26.-Enloe of
Tennessee got after Postmaster Wheat,
of the house, yesterday, with sharp
stick, and the result of the movement was
to start an investigation on foot that may
cause other hearts to ache. Enloe's charges
in brief are that Wheat let contracts for
carrying the mails to Samuel Culbertson
for $1,000 and at the same time made a
soft thing for himself by requiring Cul-
bertson to pay him $50 per month out of
the contract. Hopkins of Illinois pro-
posed to extend the inquiry to the post
masters of the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth
congresses, saying that their affairs were
so interlaced that one could not be inves-
tigated without the other.
Silcott Also "Intsrlaced."
Struble of Iowa suggested that Silcott
was also ''interlaGed" Enloe had no OBJ
lection to extension of the inquiry, and
Houk of Tennessee said that if Repub-
lican had been stealing let him be ex-
posed and punished. Then Heard of
Missouri wanted the inquiry extended to
all previous congresses, but this was a
little too much for Hopkins, who shut off
the business of extension by demanding
the previous question. His amendment
was adopted and the inquiry intrusted to
che committee on accounts.
