Three GOOD war Stories.

Col. John L. Burleigh. who served in the
army OF the Potomac and is said to have been
the youngest commissioned officer in the serv-
ice OF the union, was introduced yesterday to
I Col. John >. Chiles, who fought for the south
IN 4 orreSt's cavalry. "reminiscences were in
order Immediately says the Brooklyn Ed0Le.
i was at grand army reunion the other
( evening, said Col. Burleigh, land a man who
not seen since the war heard me called by

companions No, guess not. I'm getting

Then Col BuTleigh told about an encounter
ne had with southern woman who had just
routed the major Of his regiment who had ap-
preached her house with petition for food.

with your nanny. CThe young officer tearfully
agreed with herl Give you mealg OF course
VIII and you can bring that sneaking yankee
major with you, too"
A very bountiful meal of corn bread bacon,
chicken, potatoes and other dainties was soon
spread and partaken of. Then the northerners
pulled out greenbacks and asked TO be allowed
TO pay for the meal
No, said the woman, I'VE don't take money
for feed here Besides, we don't call that green
stun money here; we burn it.
And that was true, " said Col Burleigh; 1.-THE
north made tons and tons of money by the
southerners' burning currency issued from our
treasury They were so sure it would never be
redeemed"
Col. Burleighs story reminded Col. Chiles OF
morning when Gen Magruder awoke and,
going up hill, saw white house in the dis
lance He sent an aid to ask the mistress OF
the house If she wonld oblige him with a meal

While the woman, who was southern sym

man of good family. waited humbly till the ex-

Last week 500 Italian lsbor.r, ,.Ilad from

Last week 500 italian lsborers sailed from
New York for Italy, TO get away from the
severe winter of the north, 1t Is alleged.
They had all saved money at 81 per day for
wages, and one of them said he had 5000
which he had saved from 81 years work.
A few days subsequent to the sailing of this
lot of Italian laborers about 1000 Scan,
dinavian laborers sailed for home. They.
also, had been able to save money out of
the wages received as common laborers In
this country. II these people could have
been induced to come south to invest their
little savings it would have been good
thing. The Italians would, in this state
and Florida, have found a climate very
much like that of Italy. and both Italians
and Scandinavians, for a comparati vely
small amount, could have purchased tracts
of land ON which to raise grapes, fruits and
vegetables for market. They will most
likely engage in such pursuits at home,
where neither the land nor the markets are
as good as they are here.

Solving the Silver Problem.

The members of the Colorado Silver
Club at recent meeting passed resolu-
tions denouncing the two leading political
parties, the Brussels monetary conference
and a number of other things, and demanded
the free coinage of silver.
They have not yet arrived at the "or
something better" stage OF their disease, as
have the alliance people, which denotes
convslescence, but are still red-hot for
financial reform" And while they, or
other money reformers elsewhere, are in
that condition they might do we'll to con-
slider the scheme Of the Marrha's Vineyard
Herald to do away with the fluctuations of
gold and silver. The bright editor of that
journal proposes to stop them from playing
see-saw-one being up when the other is
down-by Welding the two metals to-
gether into huge blocks. the proportions be-
ing sixteen parts Of silver to one OF gold,
depositing these blocks In the treas
ury and issuing paper against the
bullion. The physical impossibIlity Of
gold, under such conditions, going
up without taking silver along with
it is at once apparent and must commend
itself to the finauciers Of the Macune-Simp-
son school.
Or il that plan does not meet the ideas Of
the radical silver advocates, what is the
matter with this, from a correspondent
OF the New York Post: That the various
governments represented at the Brussels
conference pay a good round snm TO the
owners Of silver mines to stop mining. The
free coinage boom was gotten up by the
mine owners for their own benefit, and il
they could get the money they are after
without the passage of the act they would
be satisfied. Besides, that would effectuslly
stop fluctuations in silver. For how could
silver In the bowels OF the earth huctuate
| When the silver miners had been satisfied
then the reformers, provided they had Sc

Mr.. Springer Heard From.

II Representative Springer the chairman
OF tue ways and means committee, has his
way there will be an extra session OF con-
gress. He has arrived in Washington, and
has already made himself heard throughout
the country. He gives the reasons why
! there should be an extra session. One is that
| there will be deficiency In the treasury OF
! $50 O0O. 900 or 500, 900, 900 next July, and it
! will be necessary TO make some provision
/ fol meeting it. The other is that the Demo
/ cratic party has promis d the people TO re-
duce the tariff, aud it is its duty to do it
without delay.
Mr.. Springer thinks also that the Senate
should hearken to the voice of the people
and pass the tariff reduction bills which the
House sent it at the last session. The bills
are those framed in accordance with Mr..
Springer's plan for reducing the tariff.
II the Senate should pass the pending
tariff bills and the President should sign
them there would be less reason for an ex-
ira session, 50 far as the tariff is concerned.
But there is not the least chance that the
Senate will pass them, or that the Presi-
dent would sign them II the Senate should
pass them. The Republican party is going
to stand on its high protection record.
There will be no reduction of the tariff IN
til the democrats get control OF the govern
ment.
The question Of an extra session will re-
ceive great deal Of attention within the
next few days. because the members OF
congress will be anxious to get each others
views. But they will all understand that
whether there will be an extra session or
not depends upon Mr.. Cleveland, who,
while he will listen to what the party lead
ers have to say, will be guided by his own
Judgment
1t is evident from what has been pub
lished already that there is great differ
euce Of opinion on the subject Unless
something occurs to change the situation
greatly the democrats in congress will be
pretty evenly divided in regard to it before
March 4. In that event, unless the condi-
ton of tue treasury should demand it, it is
extremely probable that an extra session
would not be called. notwithstanding Mr..
Springsr's opinion that it should be.

The superstition that Lizzie Borden wa.
insane did not have much weight with the
grand jury investigating the Borden MUIR
der mystery, and the Young woman must
stand trial on the charge Of having brutally
murdered her father and step-mother. II
is hard to believe that q young woman of
refinement and previous good reputation
would have committed two such atrocious
murders. There was either the cunning OF
insanity displayed. or the crimes were long
premeditsted, for every trace that would
lead to the Identification of the murderer
was removed. The evidence against
Lizzie borden is very strong, but II is all
circumstAntisl, and many an innocent per-
son has gone to the gallows on that kind Of
evidence. However, there may have been
testimony before the grand jury of which
the public know nothing. and which may
tend to clear the mystery.

A society reporter OF the New York Press
has stumbled on an explanation for the re-
cent rumor that Mr.. Cleveland would
probably appoint the Hon. Charles s. Fair
child Secretary of the Treasury.
The reason is rather unique one, viz =,
the request OF Mrs. Cleveland. The reporter
believes that he has also found the in.
huence that will dominate the next al
ministration. And that will also be Mrs
Cleveland. Mrs. Cleveland is very fond OF
Mrs. Fairchild, who ia known as culti-
waited and charming woman, and it is be-
lieved it would delight the wife of the Presi-
dent if Mrs. Fsirchild should be again in
the cabinet circle. But talk Of Mr.. Cleve-
lands being dominated is bosh.

The suspension of immigration for a year
would very possibly divert to other countries
some considerable part of the emigration from
Europe. and our immigration question would
thereafter be easier to deal with than it has
been heretofore. Meanwhile, 1t will be idle to
demand of the members of congress who may
favor such a suspension whether they favor it
on sanitary or on social grounds.
