Uncle Sans IdiOsyncracies.

Though one of the best of uncles,
your Uncle Sam has some peculiar nc
tiOps of the eternal fitness of things.
For instance, when federal Judge has
reached the age of seventy years, he
may retire on pension of $4,000 a
year if he has served on the bench for
period not less than ten years Well,
we do not object to that, but we do be-
lieve that while he is so liberal to his
judges he should not be so parsimoni-
GUS as he has been for the past three
years to the old boys who saved their
country from dissolution in the sixties.
1t does look small in him to try and
beat some poor old weather-beaten and
broken down and poverty-stricken vet
out of paltry $144 year, while he is
paying out the munificent sum of $4,000

however, when the old soldier will get

A Startling Demonstration,

The commissioner of pensions esti-
mates that the average age of men on
the pension roll is fifty years; the aver
age death age of pensioners, ffty-six
years; the average death age of their
widows, sixty-one years; the average
death age of their fathers, seventy-nine
years; mothers, seventy-fve years. The
student of biology will regard these
statistics as highly important. They in
dictate to him a measure of the strain,
Of the hardships, of the service upon
those who underwent the ordeal of the
war. The biologist will say, and the
actuary of any life insurance company
will support him, that the fact that the
fathers and mothers Of the pensioners
attain an average age, one of seventy
nine and the other of seventy
FIVE, indicates that had not the sons
gone into the army they would, in all
probability, have reached the average
age of their parents, or seventy-seven
years. That they are now dying off at
an average age of ffty-six indicates
that the tremendous strains and injuries
of four years of awful fighting have
shortened their lives an average of
twenty-one years. These are startling
demonstrations of the awful character
of the war.-Exchange

The Republican Money Plank.

Mr.. Hanna has been in receipt of
many letters since his return home,
written by friends in the east, asking
him in regard to the financial plank in
the platform adopted by the republican
party in st. Louis. In substance these
letters set forth that the eastern press
is filed with specific statements that
Thomas G. Plat and his friends per-
formed successfully an arduous and
delicate mission during the convention
in forcing McKinley's friends to accept
the gold declaration against their will.
"The skeleton of the money plank
adopted in the convention" Mr.. Hanna
said, in reply to these preensions,
twas in st. Louis before ex-senator
Plat, Senator Lodge and Edward Lau-
terbach arrived. l do moi desire to de-
tract from the efforts made by these
gentlemen for the cause of sound
money, but do wish to state most en-
phatically that the plank defining the
party's position was advocated by
western men, drawn up by western
men and approved by me before any
man from the east reached st. Louis.
The plank, as it was finally approved
by me, went to the convention without
eastern interference or suggestion.
Finally, may state with equal empha-
sis that the plank shown me by Sena-
tor Lodge as representing the eastern
sentiment was not adopted by the con-
vention, nor was it anything like the
declaration made officially by the re-
publican party, being only one or two
sentences long"
H. Clay Evans, returning to Chatta-
nooga from Canton, Ohio. where he
had been in conference with Major Nc
Kinley as to the course of the southern
campaign, said: 1.-THE financial plank
was the proper thing, and the story
that Platt and the eastern delegates
forced the platform on Mckinley is all
wrong. The platform, gold standard
and all, was prepared by the West and
put in shape before the eastern dele
gates came on. The plank was the
work of the West, and Mckinley knew
all about it week BEFORE"

Obeyed Orders.

A drill instructor of a certain regi-
ment, being of thirsty nature, often
took the men he was drilling round
near to the canteen, to be far from "the
madding crowd" He would march
them up to the canteen door, call
"right about" then dive into the can
teen, always emerging in time to give
them another command before they
reached the end of the parade ground.
One day, however, as he was drinking
pint of beer, some of it almost choked
him. Out he rushed, spluttering and
coughing, just in time to see six of the
men marching through gate and the
rest standing, marking time, with their
faces close to the wall. Before he got
his throat clear the colonel came upon
the scene, and at once commenced to
make inquiries. That man does not
drill the recruits now. The six who
disappeared were discovered about a
mile off, still marching, and were COM
plimented for obedience to orders

What the "SOlid South War Cost
In Labor.

1t may be assumed that at mimi
mum the cost of suppressing the War
of the Rebellion was $4,000, 900, 900.
1t was, therefore, 81 ,143,000,000 a year
for seven years. 1t has been held that
the maximum product of each person
occupied for gain in 1880 could not
have exceeded 5000 worth; labor and
capital were at least one-.hird more
effective during and since the year 1880
than during the period of war and re-
construction. If, then, we value one
mans labor from 1861 to 1868, inclu-
sive, at $500 year, the work of war
required the unremitting labor OF
2,270,00 men for seven years, either
in two armies or in sustaining them.
AT $500 each, an estimate, probably
nearer to the mark at that time, the
measure would be the constant work of
1887 800 men each year for seven
years. The average population of that
period was 35,000,000, of whom not
over one in five could be considered an
able bodied man of arms-bearing age.
The cost of liberty, therefore, con-
sisted in actual, arduous work of the
risk of life for seven years of one man
of arms-bearing age in every three

ports with the spiri aud dignity of the
most powerful state in the Union. 1t
is observable that William G. Whitney
is not one of the delegates to Chicago.
The Tribune thus comments:
cit is hardly possible that business
men of New York can be found who
did not feel profound disappointment
at the democratic platform. So much
was expected from this state, President
Clevelands own, and the financial
center of the continent; 80 much from
ex-Secretary Whitney, whose consent
to stay and plead the fight for sound
money was 80 rejoicingly heralded;
so much from the senators and other
leaders who had been talking so stiffly
of the solemn duty of resisting free
coinage at all hazards. But the plat
form is, in effect, piteous expostula-
ton by the democracy of New York,
because it has had no opportunity for
fair and deliberate consideration Of
the free coinage policy and platform
as if it had not been debated for twenty
years-and because it would 'retard,
perhaps destroy forever, the success of
the movement now general throughout
civilized nations for the restoration of
free bimetalic coinage in the principal
minis of the world Much in the
platform is worthy of praise. 1t does
not shrink at last from unequivocal OPP
position to separate free coinage of
silver, and in words partly borrowed
from the republican national platform
says that until international bimetalism
can be secured, we favor the rigid
maintenance of the present gold stand
ard But it is lamentable that these
few plain words should be preceded by
pitiful and despairing appeal, in the
name of bimetalism, for delaying sep
arate action by this country. The men
who criticise Mr.. Whitney's labored
expostulation with the silver states as
childish are scarcely just, though it is
not possible that man of his large ex-
perience expects anything better than
a lame and weak compromise, but it is
most melancholy that the democratic
party of this great state should stoop to
suggest the idea that compromise is
possible"
Again the hopes of the country, with
all it's varied interests, are with the
republican party.

The Story of
Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D., Ii. D.,
who for thirty-two years was at the
head of Dartmouth Medical College,
belonged to the famous Crosby family
of physicians, which forseveral gener-
ations has furnished more distin-
guished medical men than any other
family in America. His father was
DR.. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter of the State
medical society, of which he was for
thirty years conspicuous member;
one brother, DR.. Josiah Crosby, in
vented tho invalid bed and the method
of making extensions of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another
brother, DR.. Thos. r. Crosby, was
chief surgeon In Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later
professor of animal and vegetable
physiology at Dartmouth College
while DIR. Dixi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discoverer of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including new and
unique mode of reducing metacarpo-
phalangeal dislocation, opening of alb
scess at hip-joint, ETC., etc.
At the early age of twenty-four his
extraordinary skill and success in over
coming disease had already attracted
the attention of medical men through
out the world, and won for him the
highest honors. His greatest achieve
ment was the discovery of an original
method for perfecting and compound
ing in permanent form what has be-
come known as his "prize formula"
and which, under the name of Puri-
tana, is legally protected.
The foundation of this remarkable
medical discovery consists of simple
New England roots and herbs, and the
original family recipe for it has de-
scendcd to the long line of Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost
ton rendered it necessary to brew ii
whenever needed in the early days OF
its history, and after the scattering OF
the Puritan families to remote local.
ties, where the necessary ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were made to put it up in permanent
form, all of which failed until DR.. DIX
Crosby discovered means and methods

Grant in the South.

We all criticised Grant for that
drastic war measure of his by which he
discontinued the exchange of prison
ers, but he certainly behaved very
handsomely to Lee and Lees troops at
Appomattox. And when he became
president he was kind in giving places
to ex. Confederates. Longstreet him
self profited by Grants friendship in
that way. Grant offered to make GEN
eral Pickett United States marshal for
one of the Virginia districts, but Pick
EFT declined the office, telling Grant
that popular as Grant was with the peo-
Pile, he (GranO could not afford to
make such an appointment This was
as much as to say that Pickett could not
change his affections, and that for him
not TO do so would be to injure Grant
in the view of the northern public.
President Davis spoke very kindly in
deed of General Grant in letter pub
lished about the time of Grants death.
Indeed, Grant stands higher in the es-
timation of the southern veterans than
any general of the war on the northern
side.-Richmond Dispatch.

In seconding the nomination of Mr.,

has held the offices of assistant Judge

than 81 900 for doing it, and he

he would faithfully perform all the

he did not want to be understood as
casting any reflections upon Mr.. How

county want states attorney who will
see that the temperance work in the
county takes no backward step, to
which Mr.. Lord retorted, "That is
