strong Temptation.

strong Temptation.
During the Civil War exchanges of
ciyiltries between sen.ries of the op-
posing armies We're not unusual. The
Confederate soldiers traded tobacco,
which vas abundant with them, for
coffee, which was more abundant with
the northerners, and the men of the
two armies gossiped in q fraternal way
about matters in general. A Union
veteran related at q campfire" IN in
cident which shows the peculiar in
terest and occasioned temptations
which attended these friendly meetings
of enemies.
While our army, said the narrator,
was stationed at Chapin's Farm, below
Richmond, in the early spring of 1865,
/ Vas one day trading with two South
Carolina soldiers in a little clump of
woods near the picket post of which 1

post" said the Colonel, "and assure
them that they shall not be hurt"
l took the message, and the Cnnfed-
crates came up somewhat reluctantly.
After q little conversation the Colonel
said to them:
"Boys, we have the country where
you live. You had better stay with
us, and WI will give you twelve dol
lars and a half for your guns and cart
ridge boxes, and q free pass to your
homes"
1t was . temptation. The men
knew that their cause was beaten.
Death in q vain struggle might be be-
fore them. Here was a chance to re-
turn safe to their homes by the
straightest and easiest road.
However, they did not hesitate.

But it was true loyalty to their sense
of duty.
II Never Surrender"
The First and Second Ohio Regi-
ments did glorious service at the bat
tie of Bull Run. Col. McCook had
command of the First. His younger
brother-only II years old-was a
member of the Second, and WAS left rs
guard to the hospital. One of the en-
emy's cavalry dashed upon him and
ordered him to surrender. The brave
youth with fixed bayonet, steady nerve
and cool bearing, replied:
Il surrender"
The father, Judge McCook. who had
all the day been arduously engaged in
assisting them in taking care Of the
wounded, bringing them in from the
feld, and that, too, at the eminent per-
il of his own life, was in the hospital
tent and heard the order to his son.
Seeing others of the enemy's cavalry
near by, he rushed out and shouted:
Charley, surrender, for Gods sake,
or you are lost !"
Charley turned to his father, and
with all the lion in his countenance
replied:
Father, I will mover surrender to q
Rsbel!"

SHIPMENTS OF GOLD.

They Were Larger Under Harrison Than
 Under Cleveland.
 Our republican friends needn't lose sleep over the exports of gold now be ing made.
 There was not week from March i to July 31 in any of the 4 years of President Harrison's administration in which gold exports were not great deal larger than they have been all this month
 Take the banner year of that ad- ministration-1809 Gold was exported In July that year to the amount of s1o, ,78e, ,63s, weekly average of nearly S2, 500, Oo0
 Tn July, 1891. the amount slipped was s6, ,674.
 In the year before, Julys shipments were even larger than In 1892, amount ing to Sl1 1860, 099.
 Here we have total for the last 3 years of the Harrison admins tration of S29 3o5, 341 in B July weeks, an average of over S2,250, 0o0 per week, as compared with S1 ,45O,ooo in the 3 weeks of this month.
 In other words, July gold exports under republican rule were 5 times as great as are the shipments we have heard so much about this month.-St. Louis Republic

AN ISSUE WANTED.
The Republican Party in Search of Bone
 tn Contend For.


 Many of our republican contempora- ries vehemently insist that the tarin 's to be very much in evidence during the presidential campaign of next year. Those who favor the candidacy of Gov. Mckinley are obliged to do this, for he would be an absurdity as candidate on any other issue. 1t is hardly possi- ble, however, to find anybody of prom thence who advocates the reenactmenc of the Mckinley law.
 On the other hand, there are not few republicans who are tired of the tariff issue, and especially of McKin- leyism. They know when they have enough. They remember with emotion the treme ndous overthrow of 1890, which followed the Mckinley iniquity as the thunder follows the electric flash. They remember also how they claimed that this was due to the fact that the election came so soon after the passage of the bill that the people had not had time to learn how very good bill 1t was. So they took two years to explain 1t to the people, dur ing which period wages were reduced all over the country. Their two years of explanation and falling wages were followed by another stinging defeat. Many republicans are quite aware that their success last fall was wholly due to the depression of business which they brought about, and that 1t af- lords no promise for the future If the improvement in business continue. So they are very shy of McKinleyism.
 1t is worthy of mention that Con- gressman Dingley, of Maine, thinks that the next presidential election will turn mainly upon the currency ques- ton. This IS significant because Mir. Dingley is a representative of MT. Reed, prominent candidate for the presidency. It is also significant on account of the reason assigned forit. He says the democrats have stolen repub- lican thunder by enacting a protective tariff, which proves to be tributary to American enterprise"
 We might pause to ask MT. Dingley, if the present tariff is tributary to American enterprise, why his party enacted one which on many important commodities was twice as high as the present tariff? We might also ask how it happened that the makers of many commodities on which the tariff was re- duced the most are among the most pros porous? However, it is not our purpose to argue the correctness of MT. Dingleys statement, but merely to cite it as evi- dence of the drift of republican opinion. If the republican party adopt sound money as the main issue for 1896, it will be compelled substantially to in- dorse the democratic administrations On the other hand, if it embrace Mc.hin- leyism it will have to attack tariff which it's own organs declare is ''trib- utary to American enterpl ise." Under these circumstances the search for an issue is attended with no little em- barrassment.-Loui Courier-Jour- al

 cool retreat, And trailing on its way, 'tis soon s giesminF

 waterfalls, Or by swift rapids roaring tween their rocky

 greet. Where deep and broad tho river winds mid
 meadows sweet, Until in rest at last the ocean it enthralls, Of life such streams as this are but the
 oounterparts: The merry spring Of youth in childhood
 over1ews; The falls and rapids Of our lives in manhood
 come And then the deep, broad stream of age creeps
 OCT our hearts Until at last, within that peace that death
 bestows, Our spirits pass away to our eternal home. Edward B. Nitchie, In Christian Work

Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the worlds best products to the needs of physical being, will attest tbe value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in ths remedy, Syrup of Figs.
 Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of perfect lax alive; effectually cleansing tbe system, dispeIling colds, headaches and fegers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid nays Liver and Bowels without weak eHing them and it IS perfectly free from every objectionable substance.

 When ultra republicans discuss the better times they give the credit to their capture of the next congress. When they talk about the shortage of the wheat crop they charge it to democratic administration. = Detroit Free Press.
 -Mr Cleveland, when he retires on March 4, 1897, will take with him the confidence and affection of the people and leave more united party than he probably dared to dream six months ago. And that is better than a third term.-Albany Argus.
 It must make a good talker like Benjamin Harrison tired to keep mum on topics of live interest and confne his conversation to denials that he said anything. But such are the restraints of candidacy for the highest office in the gift of critical people. le.-Topeka (Kan.) Capital
 That there is conspiracy to suppress the news of improved indus trial conditions admits of no doubt. It has been shown by the attitude of the republican newspapers for some time, But the prophets of woe and the howl CTS of calamity have not been able to prevent the restoration of prosperity. They have retarded 1t to a considera- ble extent and delayed the consumma- ton for six months. But they have at last lost their power to hoodoo the peo- pie. Prosperity and increased wages are the order of the day. City Times.
 The imprudence of republicans in claiming that good times came because the repu blicans had elected a majority in congress has q touch of the fantas- tical. The republican congress cannot pass tariff bill that President Cleve- land will approve unless it should be 8 democratic bill. If the repu blicans should carry the election in 1896. con- gress, president and all, the new con- gress would not meet until December, 1897, and could pass no tariff bill until well along in 1898. The good times came because for at least three years the publicans will be powerless to tinker with the tariff or the cuIre#c,-. l-Chicago Chronicle.
