Bravery at a BANQUET.

war, writes Col. Thomas w. Higginson in the
Plttsburg Dispatch. On mature reflection.
passing by some hairbreadth escapes,
SDOulu award the palm TO something done by
young assistant surgeon of mine, not quite
Il years old. Dr. Thomas Il. Minor, then of
hartford. Conn. 1t was an exceedingly con

had been invited. l saw them go with some
regret. since whisky was rarely used in my
regiment, and had reason to think that it
would circulate pretty freely at this enter
IdlnHenJ. About Dr. Minor had no solicit
tude, for he never drank it. Later l heard
from some OF the other officers present what
had happened.
They sat late and the fun grew fast and fu-
rlous, the songs sung becoming gradually of
that class which Thackeray's Colone New
come dld not approve. Some of the guests
trled to get away. but could not; and those
VINO attempted 1t were required to furnish in
each case song, story or a toast Minor
was called upon for his share and there was a
little hush as he rose up. He had a sinRu-
larly pure and boyish face, and his manliness
OF character was known to all. He said !:
"Gentlemen, cannot give you a song or
story, but will offer a toast which / will
drink IN water and you shall. drink as you
please. The toast is, Our Mothers "
OF course, an atom of priggishness or self
consciousness would have spoiled the whole
suggestion. No such quality was visible.
The shot told; the party quoted down from
that moment and soon broke up. The next
morning no less than three officers from diff
terent regiments rode out to my camp all
men older than Dr. Minor and of higher rank,
to thank him for the simplicity and courage
OF his rebuke. 1t was from them l first

The New York Press a few days ago
told a soulful story of paper manu-
facturer who was going to shut down his
MILL discharge his employees and quit the
business, BECAUSE under the new tariff,
English manufacturers would be able to
deliver paper in this country for price
lower than he could produce it. AS bear
ing out the manufacturers tale of woe,
letter from an alleged purchaser of paper,
in which the writer said he would defer
laying in q stock until the passage of the
new tariff bill afforded him an opportu-
nifty TO buy it in England, was printed.
The two exhibits, on their faces, really
made a bad showing for the American
paper maker Bnt, now here comes a
news item by telegraph from Newark, N.
j., which clouds with doubt the Press
finely constructed narrative. The item
says: "The Wheeler Manufacturing
Company, whose large paper mills at
Waverly We're destroyed by fire Monday
night, has determined to rebuild at once. 1"
What is the Wheeler company going to
rebuild its mills for3 To shut them up be-
cause of the Wilson bill! Having been
relieved of an Improbable investment by
fire, why doesn't the company collect the
insurance and go to England to build

to be stated; and it induces the belief
that the Press assertions were of the

California's great fair will be formally
opened during the last week of this
month. The governor will make the open
ing day legal holiday, and parades by
day and bonfires and fireworks by night
are expected TO be features of the occas-
ION. AS originally planned, the fair
grounds covered forty acres, but the en-
terprise has grown until four times
that area has been found necessary.

Treated as a Crank.

The message Gov. Waite, of Colorado,
sent to the legislature that he called to
meet in extra session, and which met
Wednesday, seemed to satisfy even
those who had defended him, that he is a
crank The reading of it required two
hours, and the motion to print it was
overwhelmingly defeated in the Senate
1t is a remarkable document, and the SEN
ators were evidently anxious that the
public should hear as little of it as posi-
BILE.
There was no good reason for calling
the extra session. 1t will cost the state
good deal of money, and there is abso-
lutely nothing the legislature can do to
relieve the business depression.
A good part of the message is taken up
with wild theories relative to the use of
silver by the state and attacks upon the
President and Wall street. His plan is
to allow the silver coins OF any country
carrying 3711{ grains of silver to pass cur
rent for dollar in Colorado. He thinks
that if it should be adopted the Mexican
dollar would command 30 cents in Colo
RADIO ana the state could unload her silver
on Mexico at S1.17 per ounce.
The legislature will pay very little at
tention to Gov. Waite. He has already
injured Colorado's credit, as we'll as the
credit of her cities. Before the call for
the extra session was issued Denver had
succeeded in placing $780, 900 worth of
bonds in New York for public improve
ments. AS soon as the call was issued the
contract was cancelled. Capitalists would
not loan money in state having crank
for governor. Colorado will rejoice
when Gov. Waite's term ends.

Lewis Redwine, the defaulter, has prob
ably succeeded in establishing himself as
a hero in the minds of those morbid At
lantans who vibrate between the court
rooms and the fringe of society for SEN
stations with which to relieve,the monot-
ony of their bored existences. The i'm
preston left by the conclusion of his trial
is that he is magnanimously shielding
some prominent monkey who made a
catspaw Of him. But the chances are
that the chestnuts he pulled out of the
fire are stored away for future enjoyment.
He no doubt enjoys his hero act; the ad-
ulatioR he will receive therefor will be a
salye TO the burn sustained as conse-
quence of the chestnut raking. And,
then, six years will pass quickly.

given out at very opportune time. The

sitting the fraudulent from the honest

gyman was probably aware.

The committee on ventilation and accous-

congressional rabbit-a thing of ornament
rather than of service-concluded the
other day that it would do something.
The architect of the capitol was sent for
and told of fact that ne knew before,
that the ventilation of the House was
bad, and that the committee wished
something done about it. The architect,
it seems, did not agree with some of the
committees suggest ions, a quarrel ensued
and the committee concluded to abandon
its effort at usefulness.

Push the Bill,

Business men who have given the pres
ent business situation a good deal of
thought are almost unanimous in the be-
lief that the Wilson bill should be passed
as quickly as possible. 1t is admitted
that q tariff bill will be passed, and con-
sentative republicans are willing to ad-
init that a great deal more harm is to be
expected from delay in passing the Will
son bill than from the bill itself, should
it become a law. The democrats are firm
in the belief, of course, that the bill
would be productive of beneficial results
as soon as passed, and they are right.
The uncertainty is what is depressing
the industries and business.
Let the uncertainty be removed by
promptly making the bill law, and
there will be immediate activity in all
the industries.
Under the circumstances it is the duty
Of the democrats to push the Wilson bill
as vigorously as possible, and the repub-
licans ought not to put any obstacles in
its way, They cannot defeat it, though
with the help of some dissatisfied demo
Gratis, like Representative Haines, of the
Troy district, in New York, who talks
and dreams of collars and cuffs, they NAV
succeed in making some changes in it.
If they seek to delay it by filibustering
for the purpose of making a little party
capital, they will do a vast amount of
harm, for which they should be, and
would be, held responsible. The thing
that both parties in congress should seek
to do now is TO pass the bill as
quickly as possible.

The ''Blaine element in the Republican
party is still strong in Iowa. 1t was this
element, under the leadership of j. S.
Clarkson, that succeeded in blocking the
nomination for the senatorship of ex-
Governor and ex-Congressman Gear on
Tuesday by an adjournment of the caucus.
This was done to give the anti-Gear dele
yates an opportunity to consolidate on
some candidate, and in the light of Senator
Allison's suggestion of Clarkson as the
man, it looks as though Clarkson had an
eye to that result all along.
Mr.. Dodge, a manufacturer of felt goods
IN New York state, was quoted a while
ago as saying he would shut up his fac

plant TO Europe, on account of the Wilson
Dill, the passage of which he claimed
would ruin his business. Since then.
oowever, it appears that Mr.. Dodge has
either undergone a change of heart or
aas learned more about the Wilson bill
Shan he knew before. For, so far from
removing the plant he now has to Europe,
ae has concluded 10 build another great
manufacturing plant at Dolgeville. He
