Two of sherman's Stories.

The New York Tribune the other day pub
lished several stories, Of which Mr.. Sherman,
according to Chimney NJ. Depew. was the au-
thor. Two of them are as follows:
Il heard Gen. Sherman" said Mr.. Depew.
once narrate a very striking battle incident.
ne had rallied his troops and led them to a
| charge, which was everywhere successful. As
| ne rode into the enemy's camp, he saw IL soldier
lying on q barrow and an officer standing over
hiHn WIN an npllfted knife. He shouted TO the
oIncer not to strike, and spurred up to the
| group TO discover that the men were both dead:
the only solution being that the officer, who
was surgeon, was in the act Of performing an
| operation for the extraction of a bullet upon
| the soldier when the conc ussion of a cannon
| ball passed near them and killed them both.
and they had stiffened in the attitude they oc-
| cuped at the moment when their lives went
"As Gen. Sherman was riding one day with
his staff on the march through Georgia, they
came upon an old planter sitting upon his front
piazza, and they rode in for drink of water
The old gentleman said: General, saw on
| one OF the regimental flags, the One Hundredth
Iowa The last heard of Iowa it was an unin-
naolted territory. Has that got hundred reg
lments OF OOO men each in your army now?
"'Yes'
"'Wel said the old planter if Iowa has got
lOO regiments In your army and the rest of your
| states have sent regiments in proportion, you
| must have more than million, We better give
| up at once'
| He told me said Mr.. Dephew an interesting
| story about prominint citizen of Savannah,
| who came to his headquarters after he had
captured that city. The gentleman was in
| great trepidation and informed the general that
| ne had some valuable pictures in his house The
general SAID they were entirely safe, He said
he also had collection Of family plate of great
intrinsic value, and, on account of its associa-
lions, very precious to him and his family
Inc general told MIN he would put guard
| about his house if necessary. Then, 10 a burst
! of frank confidence produced by his generous
| responce to his fears, he revealed to Gen Sher-
man that he had buried in his back yard a large
| quantity OF priceless madeira, of the oldest and
rearest vintages, and estimated to be worth
| over "a, 600 before the war. The general re-
| sponded at once: That is medicine, and con-
| nscated to the hospital What the hospital
did not need he distributed among the troops.
But much marching and fighting had produced
| IN the boys an appetite more vigorous than
that which recognizes the banquet of 1915
| Madeira at New York clNb or dinner table,
and they willingly exchanged bottle of Ma
deira for gill Of whskev."

snreadinr woman surraee.

! Nearly all Of the prominent advanced
women Of the country are IN Washington
! this week in attendance upon the sessions
Of the national woman's suffrage conven-
ton, which has met at intervals in the capt.
tai city for many years past. In all proba-
bility the present session will prove the
most interesting meeting they have held
for a long time.
For the past thirty years or more a few
restlessly energetic spirits among women,
chiefly from New England, have been in
eessantly agitating womal's suffrage, not
only with very little encouragement, but
against great odds Of opposition Of the most
implacable character, because it was
founded upon the conservatism Of social and
domestic customs which are not easily
altered. Still, the advocates struggled on
persistently in a steadily losing contest, IN
til the western states began to rapidly open
up to settlement. Then the suffragists
changed the base Of their most active opera
tions to that field. and within a
comparatively short space of time their
efforts began to be seen. Gradually they
gained ground, until finally women we're
given a voice in some western states in the
choice Of small local officials, such as school
trustees, etc. Then similar privileges were
accorded taem IN some of the older states.
BY degrees they finally attained to a
broader restricted suffrage in Kansas and
Wyoming. Ultimately Wyoming gave
women unrestricted suffrage. So it went
on. Now Kansas has just granted women
hn ~
aud hardly contested struggle, and afr ords
the suifragists ne little satisfaction.
Upon this subject Senator Carey of
Wyoming was recently reported as saying
that twenty years. experience Of woman
suffrage had demonstrated to his satisfac-
ton that it was not only in nowise obJec-
tionable, but positively desirable None of
the objections commonly urged against it,
be says, are found in actual practice.
Therefore he thinks the results entirely
satisfactory. Nearly all women who are
qualified voters, he asserts, exercise their
franchise freely and with good results.
Anything touching their interests, he says,
brings them out in numbers quite equal to
the men, and he thinks their influence salu-
tary and generally advantageous.
What influence may have prompted the
senator to use such complimentary and
commendatory language cannot easily be
definitely determined. 1t may have been
an unbiased deliberate conviction or it may
have expressed the views Of his wife or his
mother-in-law and several other female
relatives. At all events woman suffrage
has lately had rather rapid growth, and
has now become firmly established in sew
eral quarters, even beyond the expert
mental stage. 1t is attracting much
attention, and It's development will be
watched with deep interest in every part of
the union.

In the Line of Reform.

The mayor of Atlanta has suggested that
that city should have q purchasing agent
and a board of contracts and supplies 1t
is understood that the Atlanta council re-
CARDS the suggestion as good one, and will
act in accordance with it.
This city purchases a great deal of
material Of one kind and another in the
course Of year. Would not its
interests be served by the adoption of the
suggestion which the mayor Of Atlanta has
made to the council Of that cityl
The aldermen have not great deal of
time to give to the city's businessmen time
enough, perhaps, to make as good bargains
for the city as might be made. A purchas-
ing agent might save the city many times
what his salary would amount to, and his
salary would not be large, because only a
small part of his time would be given to the
city's business.
This suggestion is at least well worth con-
sidering. 1t seems to be good one, though
there may be objections to it which do not
now appear.

Reeds Usurpatlon of Power.

Representative Scott Wike of Illinois
does not expect, of course. that the resolu-
tions which he offered in the House on Mon
day, condemuing Speaker Reed for his out
rageously arbitrary exercise of power and
providing for the punishment of the pre-
siding officer Of either house of congress for
arbitrary, unlawful aud unconstitu tional
acts, will pass, but the Offering
Of the resolutions. shows that
the speaker has not the respect
Of the minority. and that his high-handed
proceedings are dangerous to the welfare of
the country. On last Friday the speaker
ordered members who were not present to
be counted as If they were present. He did
this in order to make quorum, and the
journal was made to show that they were
present. The democrats protested against
this classification of the journal, but their
protests We're UNDECIDED.
1t is not to be wondered at, therefore,
that the minority of the House are ready
to adopt resolutions which tend to show
that Mr.. Reed is not At man to be speaker.
II they had the power they would pass the
resolutions
Perhaps they will have a chance to ex-
press their opinions of the speaker before
the session closes. Its always customary
TO tender vote OF thanks to the speaker at
the end of his term. 1t is pretty safe TO
say, however. that no such vote will be
teudereda to Speaker Reed. He has not
dealt justly with the minority, and they
will not 80 out of their way to do him
honor His party friends may pass such a
resolution, but it would be of little OF no
value unless it was passed unanimously.
And Speaker Reed does not deserve vote
of thanks. Ever since he has been
speaker he has played the part OF
an extreme partisan. He has forced
party measures through the House by
means that have never before been employed
in that body-means which are as unlawful
as they are arbitrary. The minority have
nothing to thank him for. He has shown
them no favors. and they will be glad when
his term expires. If they should join in a
vote OF thanks they would stultify them.
