Flag of Truce.

1t would be hard to find o moro
amusing instance of the beggared con-
dition in which soldiers Of the field are
sometimes found than that given years
ago by Gen. Gordon, in an account Of
various scenes connected with the sur
render of Lees army.
When Gen. Gordon determined to
send flag of truce to Gen. Sheridan,
he summoned Major Hunter of his
staff, and ordered him to carry a flag
of truce forward.
General, have no flag Of truce"
replied Major Hunter.
"Get one," said the general, CURLY.
General" he replied again, 1--WE
have no flag of truce in our CONF
mand."
"Take your handkerchief and put It
on q stick, and go forward"
81 have no handkerchief general"
Borrow one and go forward with
it."
General, there is no handkerchief
in the staff"
'Then, major, use your shirt"
"You see, general that we all have
on flannel shirts"
At last one man was found who still
had white shirt, part of it was torn
off, and with this remarka BILE emblem
tied on a stick, the Major went for
ward toward the enemy's lines.

Railroads Helm Make prlons.

y A threatened coal famine in this
city last week called attention to the
fact that it is in the power OF railroad
companies to cooperate with coal
monopolies in raising prices. In tho
soft coal business in this city two
companies have apractical monopoly.
OF course MS it is to their financial in.
Uerests to have coal rs high as posi-
BILE 1t Is reasonable to suppose that
unless those who control tho bust.
ness are considerable OF the welfare Of
the consumers of coal they will oper-
ate to increase tho price to the high
est notch possible, regardless OF con-
sequences to other people.
Soft coal is selling at retail at thir-
teen cents bushel and efforts are
being made to put prices still higher.
AS the most. OF the coal is shipped in
by rail- 1t is plain that if the coal
companies can induce tho railroad
companies to hold back coal cars or
feign inability to haul the coal on nc
count OF the rush OF business till the
coal supply in the city runs short
and people are glad to get it. even at
greatly increased prices the scheme
is a paying one to the monopolists.
The writer knows large retail
coal company In tho western part OF
the city that several days last week
sent wagons day after day to the
tracks for coal. which as often came
back empty. What was tho matterp
Why couldn't they get coalP They
were informed by tho railroad men
that on account OF the wheat blockade
they were short of cars and could not
haul coal At tho Same time loaded
coal cars stood further out on the
side-tracks waiting for tho 'coal
famine which they were creating ia
raise prices.
1t Will be noticed that tho wheat
blockade cry has been used to ham.
mer the price OF wheat down till d
few spectators get the bulk. and on
the same plea tho price OF coal has
been increased in tho interest of O
few mon and to the detriment OF the
masses 1t has been believed for d
long time that transportation COM
panies sometimes stand i'm with the
market makers and lend their assist
ance without which many conspira,
cios to rob tho people could not be
consummated. Investigation is needed
to ascertain to what extent trans.
portation companies cooperate with
monopolies and spectators in manu-
featuring prices in the interest of 0
few men. j Journal OF Agriculture.

Don't Be Alarmeh.

Don't DO alarmed. The landslide
TO Democracy was absolutely neces-
sary before VIC could expect the peo
pie to accept the teachings OF the
Peoples party. Why was this SOP
1t is very plain. Democrats had been
loud in their denunciatlons OF the Re.
publican party for the accursed flnan.
oial policy Of this country, they abused
the Republicans because OF the PEN
sion extravaganza and tho high tariff.
None OF these issues will the next
Democratic congress dare to antago-
nize the Republican policy on save
the tariff and the changes there will
be very light
Why do we say that the people may
look in vain for financial relief? Be-
cause the Democratic party has won
by advocating the Republican policy.
and having won 10 will not dare an
tagOnize It's platform.
For these reasons In '9G we may
look for landslide away from the

A Novel War Relic.

The widow of Capt. Charles Cline, Of
Company E, Forty-sixth New York
Veteran Volunteers, who now re.
sides in Morristown, has an em-
broidered star about three inches
in length, which was shot away
from the regimental flag in some
battle in which the Forty-sixth New
York was engaged during the civil
war. The star hung by a single
thread, and Capt. Cline cut it from the
flag and brought it home as a relic.
If the star had been cut from the flag
with pair of scissors it could hardly
have been more neatly done.

Tom Hall OF Conductor Mitchell.

the reply.
well, never had much confidence
in them, either bat l hal an unusual
experience one time that has almost
made me a believer. A number of
years ago. when l was in the secret
service l had searched the country
over for q murderer. His home was
In Indianapolis and he had relatives
living here but could never get any
trace OF him. One night / came to
Indianapolis and remained there two
weeks stopping at the Spencer House.
l tramped this town from one end to
the other and had about given up in
despair. One morning l got up
rather early and asked the clerk to
take drink with me. This he did.
and then / went to breakfast For
breakfast we had bacon. and l never
enjoyed anything so much in my life.
After breakfast l strolled out and
made my way down Washington
street and along up the canal There
was one house that attracted my at-
tention. 1t was built in an unusual
way, the weather boarding being put
on perpendicularly. In q building
next to this house l saw the man !
wanted. and just as / reached for him,
awoke 1t had been a dream, but
80 natural was 1t that could actually
taste the cocktail l had drank with
the clerk and the bacon / had eaten
for breakfast. When l got up the
clerk and / did take drink together
and we had bacon for breakfast just
as 1t occurred in my dream. l went
down Washington street and along the
canal.
Oh There l saw many things that
dreamed about, but l could not find
the house with the perpendicular
weather boarding. l saw building
located on the same spot where my
dream house should have been. and
while was looking at it a man came
out recognized him as an old &C
quaintance and we had quite long
chat l. OF course. not explaining to
him the business l was on. In the
course Of our conversation learned
that the mother OF my man lived next
door to the house. In an hour or
two l came back and went in to see
her. To make long story short ]
learned that her son had joined the
regular army and was stationed out
here at the arsenal There l arrested
him. He was tried. convicted and
sent over the road. and is yet serving
time for his crime. The clew / had
