were forced by the rebels to go along with
them to the Walnut Mountain for the purpose
of hunting for scouters.
When they arrived at the mountain the
rebels ordered their prisoners to show them the
camps of the scouters, but this the old man
could not do, for he was as Ignorant IN that
respect as the rebels themselves.
They took halter strap and hung him up,
thinking that they could make him tell in this
way, but when they let him down he could tell
them no more than he could before they hung
him. They would hang him up until he was
nearly dead and then let him down. They
lashed his back with hickory withes in ashock-
ing manner, and then, to cap the climax of their
vllainy, they shot him four times in the head,
the breast and the bowels.
After stripping him of his clothes they COM
menced whipping the poor little innocent boy.
They whipped him until they thought he was
dead, and went away, leaving him OH the side
of the mountain. The boy at longth recovered,
and when he got back home related with tear
ful eyes how his father had been punished and
murdered.
This old man was altogether innocent and
perfectly harmless. The rebels thought that

1t is a sad thing to gee a little
boy smoking a cigarette; it would
be more pleasant to see him steal
ing anvils or breaking into jewelry
stores. 1t is sad to look upon his
rosy countenance and reflect that
in few years a, few feeting years,
the same face will be pallid, and
the eyes lustreless, and that the
boy himself will be locked in a
padded cell with a refrigerator
strapped to his temples. When
you see a grown man smoking
cigarettes you do not need to worry,
or lose sleep, because the grown
man probably knows what is good
for him, and has obtained his
grandmother consent; but the lit
tie boys indulgence is clandestine
and unauthorized, and somebody
should take him by the finger and
lead him back to the lotis-land
of abstinence. The average little
boy is a creature of whom great
things may be hoped and expected
if he is not permitted to drive his
opportunities into a corner and
strangle them to death. Walt

The acceptance by Ex-President
Harrison Of the professorship Of
constitutional law in Leland Stan
ford university seems a wise move.
It indicates that MI. Harrison does
not accept for himself the popular
belief that the regular fate Of an
ex-president is to go into a few
years Of melancholy retirement
and then die. To devote active
years to the instruction Of Ameri-
can youth in the constitution Of
their country would seem an ap-
propriate work for one who has
filed the highest place under that
constitution.

THE SILVERN WEST AND GOLDE
EAST.

The demand for free coinage of silver
by the west seems TO grow apace, and
stronger and stronger. Cleveland and
Wall street hold that free coinage
would drive gold ont of circulation and
into a premium; that, in short, gold
would become a matter of merchandise
instead Of currency standard, in which
event the debtor whose bond or mort
gage calls for gold would be left at a
disadvantage and wronged if not ruined.
The east generally holds, in addition
that the free coinage of silver is simply
a scheme of the west to convert a
surplus produced metal, which is now
sold as a commodity, into standard cur
rency of the country, at a great profit
10 the west. So far as the mine owners
are concerned this is probably in a sense
true, but it does not reflect the seuti-
ment or the wishes of the west as a
whols, whose people are not only con-
vlnced that it wouldn't hurt any more
for gold to become commodity of COM
merce than it does with silver as such,
but that gold being maintained as a
money monopoly, upon which all other
currency must be based, has thereby
gained an undue advantage over every
other possible value including silver,
iron and every other character of pro-
duct as well as of labor. Upon the one
hand the money centers of the world
will never give up the gold standard if
they can help it, while upon the other
the great body of the producers of the
world, which includes all manual labor
ers and largely the professions. will
