Michael Mcguire, 720 South Eighth street,
Kansas City. Kan. says that the Cannoneer,"
in writing about Lees surrender on the 9th of
April, 1865, states that there were only two or
three killed on that day. The writer saw two
dead, and one wounded in the bowels, his
stomach being cut wide open with a shell, and
he believes that his name was John Chesley.
Co. X, 11th Me-, az that was the direction
found upon q letter in his pocket. The
wounded man begged the writer to kill him,
aud end his pain and suffering; but the writer
secured stretcher and took him to hospital,
but does not think that he lived long with
that wound.

Who Was the Volunteer.

Second Division, Ninth Corps Howard State
not given, says: " In your paper Of Feb. Is
saw the article "The Mine in Front of Peters
burg" by Comrade futile, 5sth Mass. He
asked for the name of the comrade who volun-
teered to go in the mine and relight the fuse
after it had gone out. The man belonged to
the 18th Pa. The 18th Pa. did the mining,
and Lieut.-Col Peasants was the Engineer.
The 45th Pa. was on Picket at least every
third day at the mine. My station was not more
than 10 feet from the month of the tunnel. The
45th Pa, 4Sth Pa, Both Mass, 58th Mass, and,
l think, two other reg ments were in our bril-

A Remarkable Change.

comrade of the 18th Iowa having seen sa
article on Christian soldiers in recent issue
states a case somewhat different to the one
mentioned as belonging to the Pennsylvania
Reserves. He says Dan McKinster of Co. A,
18th Iowa. was q devil may care fellow who
feared neither man or the Old Harry Dan
was celebrated forager, but fine soldier. He
was the last person one would suppose "amaz.
ing grace" would ever find. But at the last
Reun ion of Crockcr's Iowa Brigade, to which
brigade the 18th belonged for over three years,
Dan appeared. He WIS an entirely changed
man, and said he worked for living, but de-
voted considerable time to preaching and pray
ing, which, to all who knew him, was q most
wonderful change.

plenty of fuel, and model hospital for cieanli-
ness and medical treatment. Those who were
insuffciently clothed had clothing issued them.
The guards thought that their lot was much
the harder. as the writer's regiment was gov
erned by the strietest discipline. When off
guard they were harassed with drills inspec-
tons. dress parades, and police duty. Capt.
Rice of the 9Th v. Z. C., truthfuly says that the
prisoners were often better treated than the men
who guarded them. Perhaps he had in mind
the great storm on the night Of Dec 81 1853,
when out of $50 guards on duty at the prison
go wcrereported severely frosted, and some had
to be carried off their post. The writer was on
patrol in the prison. and while the prisoners
were comfortably quartered in the bsrraek,
with good fires he was tramping through their
camp with frozen feet and frosted face.

John III. Clamer u. 8. s. Wabash, 1927 Court
street, Elizabeth, N. j., was pleased to see the
article about bounties to sailors by Comrade
Roman, and says that the injustice meeted out
to sailors in respect to bounty is in every wit
true; that the sailors stood as firmly by their
guns in time of danger as did the army all
the heavy bombardments Of our fleets stand in
answer. There WAS no such thing as Coffee-
cooling or getting away back in the woods out
of range for the sailor, as some of the soldier
baters continually harping on. On board
man of war every soul has his particular duty
to attend to, through fire and smoke, and he
must stand until knocked down or the battle is
over 1t is true Uncle Sam paid them their
wages, but it was in greenbacks worth about
one,third of their actual value. The writer has
written several Senators and Congressman on
the subject, but to no purpose. Their best
friend, the lamented Logan, is gone. He stood
up manfully for the sailors rights. They mako
the excuse of Withholding bounty from sailors
because they got prize money, when the fact is
that not one in 20 got as much as $40 in prize
money and many got none at all. Those who
were fortunate enough to be on those light gin
gerbread crafts that were not worth anything
for fighting, but were good enough for catching
blockade runners, got most of the prize money.
He hopes TINT the old tars will stir themselves,
and see that they get their dues. He would like
to have Comrade John Romans address.

A NATIONAL LOAN.

1t is all very well to talk about
getting down to bed rock in national
fnanciering. Yet the people should
consider, and ask their Legislative
Representatives to consider, how far
it is safe to go in the retrenchment
of public expenditure. There is no
true economy in the starving of
necessary services that in the flusher
times past have had none too much
of a sustenance. Wise economy of
public expenditure is laudable in the
best of times, but economy that
would initiate against either pro-
gress in material things or the pub
lie health, for instance, is spurious
economy. Let us have roads where
they are needed for internal develop
ment; let us have water and light in
abundance; let us have systematic
sanitation to protect the people
against pestilence. And, if we can
not have these permanent improve
ments out of the ordinary resources
of revenue, it is the duty of our re-
sponsible political economists to de-
wise measures for raising the requi-
site revenue by other resources. If
we are to provide good things for
future and better periods-or for
posterity-let something be left to
be paid for out of the abundance of
such future periods. A national
loan really seems to be a necessity
of the present juncture in affairs. 1t
is true the country's interest bill
threatens to swallow huge proper
tion of the expected revenue of the
current period, but, like many an
other country under similar circum-
stances, it would pay the country to
make the interest bill larger before
making it smaller. This is always
provided, however, that when the
money is borrowed it shall be ex-
pended for the purposes and in a
manner which will ensure its return
in manifold amount to the nation.

CENTRAL FIRE STATION.

The Legislature has refused the
estimated cost of a respectable CEN
tral station for the Honolulu Fire
Department, reducing the item
therefor in the Appropriation Bill
from $4,000 to $4,000. This action
was taken on the motion of Mr..
Marsden, country member, who is
one of the exponents of the shay
seed" jealousy of the capital city in
the House. The movers reason was
that serviceable corrugated iron
structure could be built for $4,000
or $4,000. So the country might
have had Palace, a Legislative
Hall, Post Office and a Prison of
corrugated iron, and just think of
the thousands, if not millions Of
dollars that would have been savedl
If there is any public institution
that deserves to be handsome
ly treated by the Legislature, it
is the Honolulu Fire Department.
For over two score years the volun-
teer fire brigade has protected pub
lie and private property in Homo
lulu. Its members not only serve
without pay, but sacrifice their time,
clothes, money and even health to
maintain the efficiency and honor of
the department. They have made

An article on "New Los Angeles"
in the Illustrated Californian Maya
zine for October is very interesting.
1t shows the remarkable growth and
improvement of the "City of Angels"
in the past dozen years. From 1000
in 1880 the population has increased
to 5000. Pictures of magnificent
public buildings and business streets
reveal specimens Of architecture
worthy of great metropolis. The
assessed value of city property for
1882 3 was S., 9,294,0OO, and in 1912
it was $45 5,953,OOO, in round numbers.
Liberal reservations have been made
for parks, and they have BEEN i'm
proved with generous hand. Eleven
railroads center in the city, and, by
the magic aid of irrigation, the sur
rounding country has been transform
ed from desert to garden. When
is Honolulu going to take a fresh
start ahead? Not, at any rate until
diversified industries are prosecuted
with like zeal to that now bestowed
on diversified politics.

Practical Politics.
IR RuLLETIN.

EDITOR BULLETIN
If current rumors are to be be-
lieved, there is too much that is dis
honorable in present methods of
Hawaiian political management to
make any man who has not lost his
self-respect willing to dabble in
practical politics. 1t would seem
that we have been striving after res
ponsible government, only to be de-
fuded with very plausible counter
felt. 1t is an open question whether
the Executive has appointed the
present Cabinet in accordance with
the principle of majority rule, or
whether the appointment is so salts
factory that majority cannot be
counted against it. 1t may be safely
assumed that three -fourths of the
present Cabinet are men of such
honor and integrity that if they find
they cannot fulfill their duties ac-
cording to their views of what is just
and expedient, they will not wait for
any vote of want of confidence, but
will promptly resign their seats
rather than compromise themselves
by any unjustifable compact for the
support Of some unworthy scheme.
But whether the present Cabinet
was appointed in accordance with
constitutional requirements or not,
is it not possible to have the ap-
pointment so made that it shall
truly represent the best and leading
element of Hawaiian craftsmanship
AS things are now, we may have the
principle of political responsibility
defied by the appointment of &
"palace-kitchen" Cabinet; or respon
sibility may be minimized by acced
ing to a "hole-in-the-dark" caucus
arrangement. In either case, we
have no true responsible government
Is it not possible to formulate by law
method of appointment, which
shall secure fair and just represent
alton of the best sentiment of the
community, and preclude the posi-
bility of setting aside the principl,
of responsibility through the mani
pulations of palace crowd, or ;
wire-pullers' caucus?

Major VIM. H. Bonsall discusses
the question, "Shall machine politics
ruler" in the Californian Illustrated
Magazine for October. He shows
that the prevalent system of caucus
or primary to send delegates to a
central convention gives full oppor-
tunity for the professional politician
or boss to work his game. The
remedy he suggests for the evil is to
have the people vote in the primaries
directly for the candidates, and have
the votes of all the primaries count
ed by central committee, the ticket
to be constructed in accordance with
the result. Although the caucus
and convention plan in the Hawai-
ian Islands developed some pretty
rank machine politics, yet it prob
ably, in appearance at least, gives
opportunity for consulting a greater
proportion of the people than any
other plan here tried. The scheme
proposed by Major Bonsall is
worthy of being considered by men
of influence barring, of course, the
machine bosses - in the different
parties of this country.
