him. He wrote Lincoln letter
directly after the autumn cleo
ton in 1s62, and got an answer
straightway. The answer is the
letter to which Major Bulls called
my attention. Some parts of it are OK
ceedingly breezy and frank and quote
them with considerable satisfaction.

letter of the Goth (November)," wrote
Lincoln. 1.-The purport of it is that we

unsuccessful, and that | must not fat

apparently proved as fact, that from
the commencement of the war the
enemy was continually supplied with
information by some of the confidential
subordinates of as important an officer
as Adjt.-Gen. Thomas? l must say
no., so far as my knowledge extends.
And add, that if you can give any
tangible evidence upon the subject |
will thank you to come to this city and
do So"
But Schurz didn't come to this city
and do So" That wasn't his intention.
His purpose was to stab men in the
back, to give advise, to criticise his
betters and to do as little fighting with
his hands as possible. In view of the
fact that Mr.. Schurz will soon mount
the stump for Cleveland reference to
this little epistolary episode is quite
proper, also instructive.

THE HOLMAN HOUSE.
1t Illustrates the Character and SpiyN I
of the Democratic Party of To-day.

OF the Democratic Party OF To-day.
The Sundry Civil bill, appropriatins
money for carrying on much of the
ordinary work of the government,
which passed the House of Represen-
tatives, is in some respects the most
demagogic and unworthy measure
which the Democratic majority in the
House has yet passed. To say this is
20 put the case strongly, but the state
Inent is warranted by the facts. Under
the plea of economy" Holman and
his associates have deliberately cut
down scores of small appropriations far
below the actual necessities Of govern
ment.
In nearly every case the deficiency
will have to be made either at the next
session of the present Congress or at
the first session of the Fifty-thi Con-
gress But this fact does not trouble
the Democrats in the least. What they
really wanted was not to save money
but to make pretense of saving it.
The crippling of the public service is
of no account whatever in the esti-
nation of certain shabby politicians
compared with the chance of making
II little capital with their constit-
ucnts by their pretended economical
methods.
The Democratic majority in the
House have directly encouraged crime
and law-breaI;ing by rcfuying to vote
the Sums nc, c-sIry to detect and con-
vict illicit d;stiilcrs, snugglcrs and
countcrfeitcrS They have refused to
appropriate the amount absolutely cs-
sential to keeping the lighthouses in
charge of the United States in order

down the appropriations needed for

In his speech on the Springer free
wool bill the Hon. Julius c. burrows
drew the following picture # the
source of the supply the Democrats
were inviting to our shores. This
speech was delivered before the out
break of the cholera epidemic, but is
of added interest in view of the add
vance made by that dread disease.
Said Mr.. Burrows:
But having presented a measure
which, if enacted into law, would re-
suit in destroying sheep husbandry in
the United States, with the consequent
annual loss to the worlds supply of
wool of 300, 900, 900 pounds, the ques-
ton naturally arises, whercwithal
then shall we be clothed? How

the committee to anticipate this
inquiry and promptly allay all appre-
hension by the assuring and comfort
ing answer, rags, mungo, and shoddy.

The South Under Protection.

In its September trade issue the New
Orleans Times Democrat presents the
very latest statistics of Southern pro-
gress and prosperity, and compares ex-
istlng conditions with those of former
years.
Our assessments reached their lowest
limit in 1877, when they showed only
81, 926, 1870, Ois of property in the South,
shrinkage of more than one half
as compared with 1860. Since
1877 our total has steadily advanced
at the rate of from $50, 900, 900 to
$500, 900, 900 year Within the past
twelve years our assessments have i'm
proved 81 per cent, and the per capita
of wealth has advanced from Sl4s 81
to S22O.l5. Every man, woman and
child in this section has an average of
Sl42. 20 more than. in 1880, although
there are more of them TO share in the

WHY HE LEFT THE GREAT RE-

How Lin coln Called Him Down"

My attention has been directed, by
Mai. T. 5. Bulls OF CieyclanI, to a
letter written by President Lincoln to
Carl Schurz, Maj. Bulls says lit ought
to be published. think so myself.
Itic other day briefly described Mr..

up out of the gloom of obscurity to

this time, as Greeley was won't to put
it.
Schurz was in Spain when the war
of the Rebellion began, where he had
been sent by Lincoln TO represent this
government. He came home ostensi-
bly, to fight, but muslSct WASH the
weapon he wanted. He sought to cut
and slash, and IA sword was put in his
hand and he was sent to the front If
he had been a soldier instead of a poll

ia the military history of this country,
especially as he began as Brigadier-
General and not down in the ranks
where he properly belonged.
1t is well known to all, perhaps, that
hc became only commonplace soldier
hardly that, in fact. However, he had
an idea that he could put down the
war if given chance. Instead of fight
ing, for which he was hired and paid,
he stroked his beard and invented
policies. At 20 he considered himself
wise enough to give Germany new

man for King. At 80, as a Brigadier-
General in the Federal army, he con-
sidered Lincoln failure. and sought TO

never gives his slaves moments rest.
The burden is always present and the
task is never accomplished. The poor
