NATIONAL THURSDAY

try and the flag. Yet on every possible
occasion they glorify the men who organ
lied and led in the foulest assault upon
the country and its institutions, and
they are now preparing to erect grand
object lesson to teach all future genera
tions that the highest and noblest thing
that man can do is to rebel against
this Government, and drench its soil
with fraternal blood, filling every corner
Of the Nation with widows, orphans,
bereaved parents, and the premature
1t seems intolerable that this sort Of
thing should be allowed.
The most effective reply that we can
make to this will be to raise in the Capt.
tai of the rescued Nation a magnificent
tribute to the patriotic sons of America
who left their homes and occupations,
and sacrificed themselves on their coun-
try's altar to defeat the conspiracy
against her life, and thwart the wicked
Vaccinations of Davis and his traitorous
colleagues. Let us put up in Washing
ton-in the city from which 100000
of these youths marched to battle-a
monument as impressive and lasting as
the pyramids, which will testify to the
world forever the sublime patriotism of
the American people, who rose to nights
of heroism that the world never saw
equalled, and died by hundreds of thou
sands in defense Of Freedom, Humanity
and their sacred institutions If unre-
pentant rebels will put up stone and
bronze to glorify rebellion and teach
treason, let US erect Temple Of Pat
riotism which will speak lessons forever
of the grandeur of Righteousness, and
the nobleness and honor of daring and
dying for the country and her laws. If
they will glorify to posterity an arch
rebel, let us exalt to the world and all
coming generations the sublime courage
and patriotism Of the manhood of the
United States which redeemed the land
at the cost of a myriad Of lives.
In brief, let us build the finest monu-
ment in the world to the private soldiers
and sailors of the Union army and navy,
ard let us begin at once.

COL. WARNINGS SILENCE.

The silence that Col. Warning is inn
posing upon himself, or has been imposed,
must be fearful strain upon him.
There is bare possibility, though, that
this silence may really result from wider
knowledge, which has come upon him
like q revelation. In the exclusive at
mosphere of Newport, where he has been
dwelling most of the time since the war,
and where there are probably no ex-
soldiers, he had come to the belief that
he was about the only living man who
had done anything of consequence in
the war. We all know men of that
character, who do not happen to live at
Newport. Then he read only the New
York Times and EUening Post, which In
dustriously taught him that the sur
vivors of the Union army are bummers,
coffee-coolers, bounty.jumpers, etc. He
believed this fully. He comes to New
York and makes this astounding asser-
ton. To his amazement, he finds it in
dignantly resented, and by class of
men whom, snob that he is, be cannot
help respecting, for they are of vastly
more consequence in the world than he
is, or ever has been. He finds in New
York leading merchants, lawyers, jour
nalists, physicians, professors, bankers,
engineers, ETC., ETC., who served as pri-
vate soldiers in the Union army, and
are very proud of the fact. Great num-
bers of them have better positions in the
community than Col. Waring. His i'm
pudent SANDER awoke their resentment,
and he was made to feel it from sources
that he least expected.
This may account for his silence.

EXPERIENCE IN A BARBER-sHoP


The BARRIERS in the large cities always amuse
me. They are n cunning lot of rascals, on the
keen lookout for chance to get few extra
dimes ont of the wayfaring man. They regard
the stranger in the city as their lawful prey,
and, from the boss to the boy who chases your
nickel with his lively whisk- broom, they all
instantly recognize the stranger the moment
he sets foot in the "Tonsorial Parlor." Their
eyes brighten, and they get ready for schemes
to work him. went into barber shop in the

PROFIT-sHARING in manufacturing
and other great enterprises is bound to
come. It will probably take the form
of small shares of stock which will be
readily-purchasable on of their savings
by employees. As our industries pass out
of the speculative and fermentive period
of their early growth and become set
tied means Of supplying the wants of
our great mass of people, they will be-
come desirable investments for people
of small means, and the time will come
when the capital stocks of our great fac
tories will be largely, if not entirely,
held by the men and women employed
in them. This is to some extent the
case in France now, and will be-
come more and more so every
year. The skilled laborers of this and
the more advanced countries in Eu-
rope have more money in their
hands than anybody else. The greatest
stock of money in the country to-day
are the accumulated savings of the me-
chanics and operatives of the Eastern
States. 1t is this money which is lent
to build railroads, and put mortgages ON
Western farms. When the working
men become better financiers they will
invest their money themselves, and not
allow brokers and bankers to make such
enormous profits in lending their money
to other people. The beginning of all
this should be the establishment of the
Postal Savings Bank system, which will
put savings bank in easy reach of
every man, woman, and child in the
country, and teach them the habit of
accumulating.

OWES SUCCESS TO DAVIS.

Had it not been for Jefferson Davis Maj
Gen. Schofield would to-day have been a
civilian instead of the Commanding Gen
eral of the American Armies. Gen. Scho-
field says that before the war he became
rather disheartened, seeing no chance of
promotion. One day his father-in-iaw
called on Mr.. Davis, who was then Secre-
tary of War. They were warm personal
friends, and the Generals father-in-iaw in
formed Mr. Davis of the feelings of the
young officer who had married his daugh
ter. Mr.. Davis told him to prevail on young
Schofield to hold on to his commission. He
said that q civil war would soon be inaugu-
rated and promotions would be plentiful.
Young Schofeld accepted the advice and
continued in the Army, and will soon retire
after having risen to the highest position in
it.-Houston (Ter.1 Daily Post.
What pestilent nonsense. Gen. Scho-
field "owes" no more to jeff Davis than
he does to the Emperor Of China. Even
if Lieut.. Schofeld had resigned when it
is alleged that he thought of doing so,
this would have made little difference
in his subsequent career. Gems. Grant
and Sherman had both been out of the
Army several years when the war began.
Gen. Schofeld owes his present position
to the same fact which gave them theirs.
He recognized the Importance of the
struggle at the outset, took strong sides
with the Government at once, and was
active and capable in all the duties as
signed to him.

THE NATIONAL HOMES.


ne annual report of Gen. W. w.
Averill, Secretary of the Board of Man
ayers of National Homes for Disabled
Volunteers, gives the total population of
the q homes reported upon by him as
26,2S0. The average age Of those admit
ted is SIS, and the average length of stay
in the Homes, of those who die there, is
put at 6.43 years 1t is said that only
two or three per cent. Of those in the
Homes reported upon are able to sup
port themselves by manual labor, but it
is urged that even these should be dis
charged, in order to make room for APP
plicants who are really in great distress.
Here are official facts which the
soldier-haters can not meet. Only as
last resort, when everything else fails
him, does the veteran think of seeking
the refuge Of Soldiers Home. He
then gives UP the struggle, and goes into
the retreat to wait for death. There are
q Of these Homes distributed through
the country, and it was thought by the
promoters and builders that they made
the amplest provision for all who would
be likely TO seek their shelter. Yet
this has not been the case. So many have
applied that the management has been
CONSTANT y compelled to make the reg
ulations concerning admission more
and more rigid than was ever intended,
so as to reserve room for only the most
needy. The statement of Gen. Averill
that only two or three in every 100 now
in the Homes could possibly support
themselves by their own labor has a
melancholy Importance. The support
that these exceptions could gain for
themselves would be poor one indeed,
and very far from what the people of
the United States desire and intend the
gallant men who fought for them shall
have.
Yet ii is proposed to turn these men
back into the world to shift for them
selves, that their places may be had for
those who are still worse of.
There is whole volume of most elo-
quent pension arguments in this official
statement. Why have our Homes so
crowded when by judicious and liberal
pension legislation we could have these
aged and broken men taken care of
much more comfortably in their own
homes? tfuu
This is what the Act of June 81, 1890,
was intended to do. Its purpose was to
save every veteran from the reproach
Of pauperism, and if he were disabled
from any cause give him sufficient to
enable him to stay at home and live
fairly well upon his pension and what
his labor might procure for him.

tanned, completely demonstrate the falsity
of the common assertion that the rich
are getting richer, and the poor poorer.
On the contrary, wealth is more evenly

ever in the history of mankind. A
much greater portion of people have
property to-day than ever before. Thus,
in 1913, New York City had a popula-
ton of $1,000. The city census taken
that year shows that only 1872 people,
