SCRAPS FOR OLD SOLDIERS.

THE last man wounded in the civil
war by a confederate bullet was SergtI

PERHAPS the only woman who was
ever buried like warrior with the stars
and stripes for winding-sheet was the
late Mrs. Cutler. She will be remem-
bered for her bravery at the battle of
Fort Donelson, when she snatched the
colors of her husbands regiment from
their fallen bearer, and rushed through
the smoke with the flag in one hand
and sword in the other After the
war she made the care of veterans and
their families the charge of her life
She is buried among the sold ers in Ar
lington cemetery
a VETERAN OF the late war who re-
sides at River Point, K. l., and who is
the possessor of an old confederate
musket, recently thought he would load
the shooter and try it 1t is said he
rammed a pound of powder, more or
less, into the barrel, and steadied him
self against the northeast corner of the
house as he pulled the trigger and
awaited developments. Bang! went
the gun and away went the veteran TO
the southeast corner Of his domicie
He picked himself up, not much the
worse for wear and declares he is ready
to sell the spiteful old relic to the first
applicant
ONE Of the most serious difficulties en-
countered at the beginning of the civil
war was lack Of arms. The arsenals
ana armories Of the free labor states
had been stripped by Secretary Floyd.
The armorv at Harper's Ferry had been
destroyed. and that at Springfield was
the only one upon which the govern
ment could rely for the manufacture of
arms. To supply this lack Col. George

AN ANONYMOUS PATRIOT.
He Loaned 50, 600, 900 to Our Government
at "A Critical Hour.

at "A Critical Hour.
A good many things We're done at the
time of the civil war in this country
which were of great value to the fed
eral government, but which history has
never recognized Perhaps it win al
ways remain a mystery who it was that
placed at the disposal of the govern
ment great fortune of gold without
asking any security, so that thereby
the cruisers which were being built in
England for the confederate govern
ment were never permitted to sail out
of English harbors.
IL the early days of the war certain
ship-Ouilders in Great Britain received
commissions from the confederate gov
eminent to build some very swift steam
ships, which were to be armed with
long-range guns, and which, sailing
under letters of marque, were expected
to infict great damage upon the vessels
sailing under the union flag.
Charles Francis Adams was minister
from the United States to the British
court, and he was very anxious about
these ships, because he knew that if
they were permitted to sail from
English ports the damage they would
do to vessels sailing under the Ameri-
can flag would be enormous He pro-
tested to the English government, but
was told that the government had no
information that these ships were de-
signed to prey upon the commerce of
the United States Unless Mr.. Adams
could furnish that information the
British government could take no steps
70 restrain them.
The vessels were being built, and they
were almost ready to put to open sea-
when Mr.. Adams appeared before the
British authorities with proof, which
he had obtained q manner which he
alone knew, anC which tie kept as a
secret 10 the day Of his death, that
these vessels were paid for with con
federate money. and he also furnished
complete list Of officers and crew who
were to sail upon them. He furnished
other evidence which was convincing
at that time it was ss that the
ministry was not friendly to THE union
cause and would TIE glad i7 see the con-
federate government maintain itself

THERE is no questioning the fact that trade is reviving, Every ob- servant judge of events knows that the worst is over. For two weeks the progress towards a regular rate of trade has been steady. Currency is more plentiful, capital more conf dent and buying more active, There is no longer a premium market for cash. Interest rates have been set ting down to the actual worth ot loans, and securities are accepted at more equitable valuation. The re- yiyal may be swift or slow. As yet it is too early to predict an instant return to the best times of the past ten years. So much depends upon the feelings of men that only the event will prove itself Comptroller Eckels predicts large increase of available currency. Dispatches de scribe the reopening of manyiron and textile factories in the east. So it seems that the currency stringency of 1893 is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.

THERE is a ring within a ring-a collection of possibilities in the pro position to repeal the tax on state bank circulation. live do not have federal regulation it is said we can not preserve the full value of notes to holders wherever held. If we have federal regulation, will the banks really be state banks. There is some evidence to indicate that a plan will be favored which will change the basis of circulation from government bonds to state, munici- pal and other securities. This would not relieve the banking sys- tenn of federal interference, though it might give wider and more elastic
 money agency and strengthen the market for state and local securities.
The Russellville Democrat., 1893-09-21

ANOTHER compromise in currency matters is receiving attention at the hands of congress. It is known as the Faulkner amendment, introduce ed by the democratic senator of that name from West Virginia. It pro yides for the repeal of the Sherman act, but demands the additional pur- chase of silver until the aggre- gate amount held by the government shall be 500, 100000 ounces, all to be coined into silver dollars at the rate of about S3,000,00O per month. In order that these silver dollars may be forced into circulation all bank notes of denomination less than $l0 are to be with drawn.
The Russellville Democrat., 1893-09-21

THE indications are that after the Sherman silver purchase bill has been repealed by congress, and there seems but little doubt that it will be, the President will send special message to congress recommending the passage of law to provide for the coinage of the bullion now in the treasury, amounting to $52,O00, 900. The President will also urge legisla- tion regarding the banking system, more particularly directed towards the repeal of the prohibitory tax of 10 per cent on State banks. While all the details of this scheme have not been worked out, the dispatches have given out enough to warrant the assumption that the President willrecommend this legislation, that is, when banks organized under State laws have complied with cer- tain regulations, the secretary of the treasury will be authorized to re- yoke the 10 per cent tax on their issue. It is pretty generally under stood that nearly half the national banks in the country would take ad- vantage of the new law to surrender their charters and begin business as state institutions. The national banks have made great fight for existence, and some of them have not given up the fight. The wiser among them long ago reached the conclusion that the extention of the national banking system would be almost impossible, as the sentiment of the south and west for State banks was too strong to be over come.
