wounded. The second morning we took q
notion that we would get out of that place.
After our wounds were dressed l provided
myself with an improvised crutch made of q
forked stick, took an old blouse and made a
cushion, and, with stick for a cane, and
Boyd with his arm in sling we started up
the hill to view the battlefield and get
breath Of fresh air. The stencil of the field
was terrible.
When we arrived near the rebel hospital on
the road to Black River Bridge, about 200 or
300 yards on the road west of the hospital an
old negro came out of the woods with white
horse. We commanded him to get out Of the
old wagon to which the old horse was har-
messed, and he obeyed the order instantly, for
it was backed with loaded musket and with
some adjectives from Comrade Boyd We then
came to the conclusion TO follow the army to
Black River, or wherever it was or might 90,
SO we mounted the wagon. Boyd had been
teamster, and thought he knew all about
driving horses, and driving them with one
line.
So we started. Comrade Boyd had one

MR.. RANDOLPH BARTON, one of Bal

speaking of men who will consent to
have rope around their political
necks, says:
''As voter 1 cannot see at this wri-
ting anything to justify me in contrib
uting to the destruction of the Demo-
cratic party in this State and the ex-
altation of Republicanism. If the peo-
pie want to defeat Mr.. Gibson
and Mr.. German in their candidacy
for the United States Senate, let them
interrogate and bind the nominees for
the Legislature not to vote for them as
they have done Mr.. Magruder in Bal
timore county, although l am free to
say before | would trammel my judg-
ment as member of the Legislature
by such pledge, 1 would consign the
office to perdition. The clamorous,
childish, changeable people have no
right to bind their Legislature before
election, or to influence them by the
bride of vote to restrict their action
in the legislative halls"

THE extent to which the Baltimore
San in its wild frenzy has gone is not
only ridiculous, says the Cutuert Jour
ma, but its violent TRADES and disgusting
effort to misrepresent about everything
bearing upon the politics of the State,
has produced the usual effect. Promi-
nent Democrats, who are, as the .Sun
has ever claimed to be, Democratic.
but independent, as well as the whole
body of Democratic journals of the
State, are denouncing it as misrepre-
senting even the plain, ordinary polit.
ical news of the State, not only by its
silly editorials, but also in its news
columns. Disappointed in its desire to
make the people believe that they did
not want what the San does not want,
a reassessment Of property, by endeav-
oring to force false issue, it has lost
all reg 'rd for its boosted truthfulness
and reliability and proceeds to distort
and color even its news items until
they too cannot be relied upon unless
all other sources of information are
willfully false. The .Sm has gone so
far in endeavoring to show that the is
sue in this campaign is not the success
of the Democratic or Republican ticket,
but the defeat of Mr.. German, its DO.
litical bugbear, that it has aroused a
revulsion of feeling in many anti Cor
man men. But how defeat of the
Democratic ticket nominated by the
regularly chosen convention can defeat
Mr.. German, who is not q candidate
for reelection, no reasonable man can
see. Besides all other reasons, it
seems very foolish and weak reason
to overturn the whole party and fasten
Republican administration upon the
State for years for the purpose of de-
feating one man, even if it should be a
! defeat. The San is hostile to the ticket
because it has ceased to see where the
supremacy of Democracy will be of f.
nancial benefit to itself

In a Sunday editorial sermon in the
New York Herald recently, Rev. DIR.
Hepworth took occasion to say: "The
old picture drawn by our. fathers, the
picture in which souls are winged and
and find felicity in harps and everlast-
ing song, has been turned to the wall.
Our information is wider than theirs
and is based on certain facts which
they did not fully appreciate" All,
DIR. Hepworth, what facts are these?
What is II that you would give us to
replace the simple faith, the abound
ing truthfulness of those who lived q
generation ago. What thoughts have
we brilliant thinkers that are one mil
lionth as beautiful as the old faith, the
old ideas of Heaven and its white
winged cohorts? What hope does sci
ence hold out to those who stand fear
fully expectant on the threshold of the
unknown and unbelievable mystery
of death? What certain factsu are at
our command to soothe the last mo-
ments of those who are about to
pass away forever? What "wider in.
formation" have we with which to
comfort those left behind? WHY
should you or any one else try to turn
the picture of our departed in robes of
white to the wall? What colorless.
comfortless thought would you give in
exchange? Granting that you speak
that which you honestly believe, your
assertion shows that you know but lit
tie of the human heart. Some cold
scientists may get what comfort they
can from their "wider information. -
but the old faith, the old mind-pict-
ures and ideals are still warm and ever
will be. Take them away and even
proud science with all its array of cold
facts can replace them no more than n
can of goats milk given to babe can
replace mothers breast.

NEWPORT society is entertaining and
toadying to "His Grace" of disgrace,
the Duke of Marlborough. The noble.
mans every day doings make columns
of matter for the society pages of the
New York daily papers. How he
brushes his hair; which foot he puts
out of bed first in the morning, the
number of his suits of clothes, juts how
many inches of water his valet allows
to trickle into the bath that "his high.
ness" plunges into. In fact, everything
that pertains to the Duke, is read with
interest by thousands of the represent
alive American snobocracy who crowd
around in worshipful attitudes to catch
the crumbs that fall from the VISITORS
table. Later on we may expect a
thrilling and sensational "scoopn by
one of the Gotham journals, telling in
a realistic manner how his royal Duke
lets pares his COINS.

Encouraging Signs.

The postal business of the country
has always been regarded as a fairly
good barometer of the state of trade
and the condition of the people. Ger
eral depression shows its effect in a
decreased amount of mail matter, and,
on the other hand, returning prosper
ity is attended with a corresponding
increase of postal activity.
1t is gratifying, therefore, to find
that the figures given out by the Post
Office Department show marked in
crease of receipts for July of this year
as compared with July 1894, in all the
principal cities of the country. The
total increase reaches nearly three hun.
dred and fifty thousand dollars. The
gain was more than sixty-five thou
sand in Chicago and sixty-three thou
sand in New York. Other leading
cities show splendid gains.
With mills everywhere starting UP
or extending their operations, with
wages advancing, deposits in savings
banks Increasing, the mails growing
more weighty, with correspondence,
books, newspapers and merchandise
with these and other signs of returning
prosperity, the outlook is full of prom

WHATEVER of mystery surrounded
the alleged Holmes murder cases in
the beginning of the inquiry instituted
by the Fidelity Insurance Association
OF Philadelphia, has been cleared up
through the untiring efforts of Detec-
tive Geyer, who was originally as
signed to bring together the links in
the history of the greatest series of
crimes ever perpetrated by a human
being. The last link in the chain of
proof to fasten the crime of murder on
Holmes has been brought to light by
the recent discovery of the charred
bones of the missing Howard Peitzell
in the chimney of cottage in IRVING.
ton, suburb of Indianapolis. The
faithful detective, Geyer, has unerring-
ly traced Holmes and the German bow
to that cottage; but there he lost the
trail only to have it picked up by the
owner of the cottage, who brought to
light unmistakable proofs of murder.
and with other facts established be.
yond reasonable doubt that Howard
Peitzell was the victim and Holmes
the murderer. With this last remnant
OF mystery removed Holmes stands be-
fore the world as the most wanton
cunning and heartless murderer of this
or any other age. His wonderful nerve
and self-possession under the moral
condemnation which his crimes must
visit upon his soulless mind is marvel
Gus, but this quality must have been
powerful force In nerving HIM to kill
innocent children and women. He
has no prototype in history. The Bor-
gias sink into insignificance with this
nineteenth century monster whose
name will go down in criminal history
as all that is monstrous and horrible.
Inc slow processes of the law permit
MIN to live, to breathe the air he has
polluted by his foul crimes, to bid de-
nance at the slow courts, to exhibit his
ghoulish ingenuity that others NAV
learn to make such crimes possible. II
could be wished that he had as MANY
lives as he had victims that he might
forfeit them one by one to appease out
ragged justice and humanity and To
avenge the insult offered to his kind.
