A Faded Scrap of Flag.

Dr. w A. Spence, of jacksonville, Fla,
the Times Union says, was chief surgeon
in one of the divisions of the Confeder-
ate army in Virginia, and served with
distinction all through the war. His
two sons were also brave soldiers in the
service the younger having shouldered
his musket while still mere boy in
years On the Fourth of July last the
significance Of the anniversary and its
many associations of the past set the
Doctor and his good wife to thinking OF
all that they had passed through, espe-
ciaIly of their two soldier sons, who long
since crossed the dark river. In a we'll
worn pocket book that had belonged to
one of their sons are treasured many lit
tie relics of the past, and among them a
torn and faded scrap of an old Confed-
crate flag, which had waved over their
boys at the time of Lees surrender
Meeting reporter on Independence Day,
the Doctor drew this old wallet tenderly
from his pocket aud in broken sentences,
his voice trembling with emotion, he
told the following story:
son the day of the surrender the Fred
ericksburg artillery was heavily engaged
in the advance Major Brander came
up in great haste with General Lees Or
ders to stop firing. The battle was lost.
Universal ). distress overwhelmed the
troops. There was not a soldier in the
ranks who did not give way to tears
General confusion prevailed, and no one
seemed to know exactly what to do. My
two sons were. in that company at the
time, and the younger one, William A.
Spence, exclaimed to his comrades, we
will never deliver up our fag!i And at
his suggestion the soldiers tore it into
fragments and distributed the pieces
among the members of the company |
have the two pieces that fell to my sons,
who are both dead now, The company
had been almost constantly engaged in
the Virginia campaigns, and the compa-
ny's colors had inscribed across them the
names OF all the twenty seyen battles in
which the men had fought. The Fred
ericksburg artillery was composed of the
very best material in the army. Its
members had been volunteers from the
very beginning of the war-young men
of the best standing in Virginia, full OF
patriotism and enthusiasm The tears
trickled down the old surgeons wrinkled
cheeks as he related the incident and he
folded the torn fragment and placed il
almost reYere4tially between the leaves
of the pocket book

The. Re-Assessment.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun has the following about
the re assessment of lands in this State ::
The new re assessment of the lands of
the State, which is now almost com
plete, is watched for with great interest
by the representatives of the bond
holders. Some of these are watching
the returns as they come in and calcula-
ting the results for their clients. Audi
tor Marye comedies, as he did some time
back, as noticed in these dispatches. that
the land assessment will show an in
crease. Just what this will be remains
to be seen. 1t is thought at the Audi
tors Office that the increase may be
something like s OF 10 pefcent. over that
of 1880. A prominent lawyer here,
whose clientage is largely among Vir-
ginia bondholders, expresses the opinion
that the increase from land assessments,
bonds and other sources of taxation will
increase the revenues of the State con-
siderably. He names more than a hun
dred thousand dollars as the possible
amount by which the revenues will be
increased The Auditor has not vet
made up his figures, but will do so as
soon as all of the land assessments are
in, when this matter will be settled 1t
is important for the Olcott committee to
have all tais- information before they
complete their plan for the settlement of
the debt.

w E. Peters, of the University OF Vir-
ginia, is strongly opposed to the passage
of the Force bill

our race that the bill was introduced"

he said The negro does not want the
Force bill passed because its passage
means a breaking down of the kindly
feelings for US, which. during recent
years, have been growing among the

exactly it. AS sure as the bill is passed,
just so sure will you see a resurrection OF

How the American People Pay Off
- Their Debts.

A statement of the debt extinguish-
ment of our country since the war never
ceases to be iI1ll,I cooivc. It roHnotc not
only the growth, but the patriotism and
prosperity of our people as no other sta
tistical exhibit does. The mere fact is
startling that twenty-five years ago, less
than a generation, the public debt was
50, 756, 900, 900, entailing an annual inter
est charge of $151,000, 900, and it is now
only 1921 100000, and the interest charge
is but $29,500, 900.
The face of the debt has decreased to
one third its maximum size, while the
interest charged has decreased to one
fifth its highest amount, owing to re-
funding at the constantly declining rates
of interest
In the past ten years a large proper
tion of the debt has been extinguished.
AT the time of the 1880 census the pub
lie debt was 1919, 100000, and the inter
est charge was $40, 500, 900, so that in a
decade the debt has been reduced $685.
100000, or say 81, 000, 000,0 900.
1t will thus be seen that if the country
remains prosperous and continues to be
we'll governed, it will be entirely posi-
BILE to extinguish the entire remaining
public debt in the next ten years, so that
the people of the United States could, if
they choose, enter upon the twentieth
century with net surplus in the treas
ury. 1t has been the historical fiscal
policy of our country to pay off it's debt
we presume it will continue to be. ~
The present census will show 65,0000 600
people in the United States, in all prob
ability, and this will figure a debt at the
present time of only $14 per inhabitant,
which is small, while the interest charge
of $29, 417,603 entails tax of less than SO
cents per year per inhabitant.
Our reader will see from this how slight
a burden the national debt is in coInpar-
ison with the real taxation of the peo-
pie, which is local taxation. ranging all
the way from 50 to $19 per 1000. The
problems which confront This generation
of Americans are not those of poverty,
ertainly.-Boston Daily Adrertlser.

FREE SILVER COINAGE.

It is evident that the silver men are not
going to be satisfied with the concession
made to them in the silver bill passed last
summer. This winter they will demand
free coinage. Their demand will be- strong
ly supported. The Farmers alliance is
for free coinage, and all who want 'seasy'
money without regard to its quality are
for it. But free coinage is very serious
matter, and it is we'll to look at all sides of
it before acting. The Tribune has some
thing to say about it which is worth at
tention, as follows: Free coinage means
the issue of paper dollars for silver bullion
at the rate of sl.29 per ounce. The
price of the bullion in terms of pa
per currency would then be main
tanned, no doubt, but what would
maintain the value of the paper currencya
If the bullion market abroad should fail to
follow that of New York, and people in
other countries should refuse to pay more
than 81 or 1.05 in gold for an ounce of
siver, the inevitable consequence would
be depreciation of the paper dol
lar. 1t would become worth ~
cents or more, and gold would be quoted
at premium. The effects upon all
the industries and business of the country
would be SO startling that men may well
take all possible care before committing
themselves or their party to such step.
Silyer coinage would not put money into
the hands of those who claim that their
needs are greatest. 1t would not add q
cent per bushel to the market value of
wheat if the dollar should cease to be re-
deemable in gold and the surplus wheat
should continue to be sold abroad. 1t
would not provide more money for mort
cages on farms, nor cure the evils which
| spring from scarcity of currency in the
fall when the crops are moving Is there
present and sufficient reason. for taking q
large risk, when the act now in force may
within few months greatly enlighten the
country as to the probable consequences
This is good advice. 1t was expected
that the silver bill passed last summer
would make boom, and here we are JUS
crawling out of a panic. 1t is wise to g
slow in these important matters
