Inquiry is made by 4 correspondent as to whether
the War Department has officially determined upon
the changes in regiments and other commands
which were suggested to be made this spring.
Nothing has yet been decided upon and inasmuch
as the whole matter depends upon the appropria-
tion for The transportation of the Army which is
not 50 large to warrant general shifting
around OF troops. the prospect for changes is not
promising 1t Is possible however. that later the
amount left In hand for the rest of the fiscal year
will enable the department to make changes.

The Greed for Gain.

The love of money, the greed for
gain aud the INSCRIPTIONS scramble
for wealth. says the Greenwood
{Miss.) Enterprise, "has wrecked
more lives and caused more unhap-
piness than any one thing On earth.
The man whose whole life aud soul is
absorbed and stepped in the desire
and ambition to grow rich, usually
gets very little of the better and
more delightful pleasures of life. In
fact, the coarseness OF his nature,
the bluutness of his seAsibiiities and
the sordiness Of his life's purpose
renders him incapable of enjoying
keenly anything. He labors that be
anay be rich-that he may possess
the power of great wealth. The
world to him is an object OF prey,
aud he turns himself loose upon it to
4devour and take unto himself as
much as possible. The rights of
other men are respected by him no
further THAN the law protects them.
He has started out to get rich and
he must do it, even if be has to go
under the very shadow of the PEN
itentiary to accomplish it. A great
mistake. We would not be under
stood as discouraging the accumula-
tion of property-the laying up of
something for rainy day. Far from
it. Money is great blessing when
used for the right, but an infinite
curse when used for the wrong. It
can be the means of great happiness
and the instrument of great good
and usefulness, and it is the sacred
duty of every man to lay aside some
thing with which to meet the con-
tingencies of the future. Our advice
10 young men is to make money
"Not for to hide it in the hedge,
Nor for train attendant;
But for the glorious privilege
Of being independent"

The pensions paid since the war
have been largely over a billion of

as the "gap is widening" it has not
lessened the pension roll one dollar,

"The Democratic party says the
Oxford Miss Globe, "has stood at
the graves of more parties than any
other political organization that was
ever born on American soil. In the
past it met in the political arena the
old Know Nothing party, the Free
Soil party, the Wing party and a
dozen smaller organizations, such as
the Grange, the Relief, the Alliance
aud Peoples party, and without a
single instance downed them ALL
The last named bantam is the latest
