Life of Gen Sherman

No literary announcement Of the
year is of greater interest to the gen.
eral public than that of the compre-
hensive Life of General Sherman,
which is about to be published and
sold through agents by the noted
house ofssHubbard Brothers, of Phila-
delphia. Admirable biographies OF
Grant and Sheridan, complete to the
time Of their death, are already famil-
lar to the public, but life of the third
great commander to finish the series,
has been lack ing. The various biog-
raphies of Sherman hitherto publish
ed have necessarily been incomplete;
and even his own memoirs, written in
1875, said almost nothing of his in
tensely interesting early life, and not
a word, of course, of the more than %
years of social activity and fraternity
with old comrades since the war.
The work which Is now to be issued
will splendidly supply the widely felt
demand for a history of the great
strategic commander. 1t is being
written by Willis Fletcher Johnson,
whose ability as a historian is familiar
to the reading public of America
through his former unusually popular
works, which have had millions OF
and the sales of their vast ed
itions enriched an army of bookagents;
He is aided by Maj-Gen. o. o. How
ard, man of fine literary attachments
who knew Sherman better than any
other of his comrades now living. and
ranked next but one to him in the
army. That this history of Sherman,
the last Of the great generals, will sur
pass all others in popularity is not to
be doubted. 1t will doubtless he the
best life of the great chleftaiu publish.

year with circulation of 100000. II
is now adding to its subscription list
over 10000 names each month.
Not the least interesting feature in
the North american ReUieU for March
Is the first article under the head OF
Notes and Comments. This consists
Of two unpublished letters of the late
Gen. Sherman, which cannot fail to
attract general attention at this time.
One of them was written to General
Garfield in 1870, and is defence of
Generol Thomas against the charge of
disloyaity. The other contains most
valuable account of two visits paid by
Generals Sherman and Grant to Pres
ident Lincoln on board the "Queen
City" nesr City Point, Va, in March,
1866, shortly before the assassination
of Lincoln and the close of the war.
why Women Do Not Marry" 1.-THE
Menace of Silver legislation IA
Word About the Rear Guard" are
among the other articles that give this
number special interest.
The March Century has third in
stalment of the famous Talleyrand
Memoirs. This instalment deals with
Napoleon Bonaparte, Josephine and
the Emperor Alexander. The Cali
for1lia series this month takes up the
Fremont explorations, first with a
brief paper giving resume of the
five explorations; second with paper
by Mrs. Fremont on the "Origin of

with a posthumous narrative of the

Concerning Railroad Passes.

GENEVA, KANs., March 2, 1891.
EDITOR lola REGISTER: In look
ing over Mr.. Parsons letter in las

sin regard to free railroad passes Il
members of the Legislature. AS fa
as prohibiting the giving of passes w
do not care whether it is done or not
If railroad wants to give away any
thing, that is their business"
Now don't know who Mr.. Pearson
means when he says ",Ce," but I dc
know that if Mr.. Pearson would have
used that kind of argument last fall
during the campaign that some Other
fellow would now probably be occu.
plying his seat at Topeka. I want to
ask Mr.. Pearson what motive, in his
opinion, makes the railroad company
offer those passes to members of our
Legislature and members of Congress.
1 have never known q railroad COM
pany to give away anything unless
they had some selfish motive back OF
it. And / think that no public man
can accept a pass or any other gift
from railroad company unless he
places himself under obligations, to
some extent, to the company. A rail-
road company never gives something
for nothing, they always have "an
axe to grind"
Mr.. Pearson thinks that the rail-
ways coald not live with passenger
rates at q cents per mile in this State.
Now let us see; suppose We had law
making it criminal offense for rail-
road to give, or public man to accept
a free pass. either going to the State
or national capital, also while making
their canvass on the campaigns would
1t not be reasonable to think that they
might not make some reduction in
their fare to the general public, If
not ! cent cent per mile?
Again suppose that the Democratic
or Peoples party would insist on pay
ing Mr.. Pearson's fare to Topeka and
his board and lodging while there,
how long would that last until his
own party would say that Pearson
had sold out to the. Democratic party,
and they would have good reason to
think so.
Again suppose Mr.. Pearson was in
volved in a suit at law with some cor
poration or railroad company and the
company would insist on paying the
board bill of the jury and all other ex-
penses such as free passes to and from
court, how long would Mr.. Pearson
have any confidence in that jury?
1 give the above thoughts as my
opinion and I think three-fourths of
the people of Allen county feel about
the same way about this matter. I
do not say that every man that ac-
cepts free pass on a railroad has
been bribed, but do say such trans
actions have the smell of bribery Turk
ing about them. DAVE CARMAN.
