indignant at the action Of Mr.. Burns, last
friday, In permitting the banging out Of u
red flag with Ma. Bryan's picture on 1t. Mr..
Bryan said
There is nothing that care to say on the
subject. do not believe that any advocate
OF free silver would do harm to MIR. Burns
or to his property. While Mr.. Burns's action
on Friday was not very courteous, paid no
attention to it. lie had right to decorate
his building he chose, even though the
decorations might be offensive to his politi-
cal opponents, and his neighbors have a
right to crtticise his actions II they sec fit to
do 50. But II any one has attempted to
iniure him, or his property, such person
ought to be punished like any other violator
Of the law. No political reason can excuse
an attack on person or property. Our cam
spaign Is campaign OF education, and no
true friend Of the cause will attempt to vio-
late the law, no matter how bitter the gold
standard advocates may assaii us or our
principles"

confederates should the fate OF. war
throw them into their hands.
But the enlistment of colored men in
that department went rapidly on when
Banks superseded Bhtler. The en-
thusiastic abolitianists among our
troops testified to the royaHy and logic
of their convietionsS 81 taking COM
missions in and organizing the colored
men into companies ana regiments. A
strange sight it was, in the summer of
1853, to see the motley companies of
negroes in the great yards of the cot
ton presses in New Orleans, ragged,
awkward, uncouth5 gong through the
drill of the soldier under the orders of
their white officers. But their innate
sense of cadence and their docility
made them apt pupils in that school.
as their ready obedience to orders
made them good soldiers later. The
surprise came when circumstances put
these regiments in situations where
they must fight or run away EN-
ployed for the greater part in garri-
son duty and, in campaigns, as train
guards and in engineer work, there
came occasions that tested their abil-
ity to fight. When Marmaduke swept
down the right bank of the Mississippi
he met repulse by the colored troops
that held the line at Donaldsonville.
The colored brigade formed the right
of Banks line in the assault of June
IA, 1868, on Port Hudson, and made
three successive and unsuccessful
charges on the earthworks, a feat that
few white regiments performed The
last question of doubt was swept
away. 1t was demonstrated that the
negro soldier would fight and fight
well. Let an arch be raised to their
memory. for ~bravely they earned it.

SOME INTERESTING LETTERS.

Mr.. Frank G. Carpenter, whose let
tiers have been one of the most valued
features Of the Sunday Globe for
more than year past, has prepared
series Of special and striking interest to
the public, the first of which will APP
pear In next Sundays issue. These
letters will deal with the present condi-
ton of the mining regions of the United
States, both gold and silver, with i'm
proveYients in processes and present
and prospective output, and will cover
generally the entire field of the produc-
Ntion of the precious metals in this
country. Mr.. Carpenter has prepared
for this work by visit to the ground
and a special study of the subject He
has done this in view of the great m
terest now attaching to the questions
relating to the value and use OF the
money metals. The series of letters
will not be in any sense political, nor
deal with the assumed relative desir-
ability Of either gold, or silver for use
as a money metal. They will look
neither toward the gold nor the silver
/ side in the present controversy, and
will be devoted to a complete descrip-
ton of the condition of the mineral
producing regions of the great West
and their future possibilities. Inter
views have been had with, the owners
of the largest Of these great proper
ties, and their views have been OBJ
tanned upon the future Of the industry.
The new processes of extracting gold
from ore by the use of cyanide OF POI
tassium. which marks an era in the
gold mining business. will be fully de-
scribed. 1st,o
We cannot think of any subject Of
more direct interest to the public at
this time. nor enc of more value; since
its facts and figures will throw a side
light upon the great political question
just now the cynosure of all eyes and
minds. The publication of Mr.. Car
penter's letters will begin one week
from today, and nobody in the North
west should fail to read them in the

pend your wages will be rising in
price much faster and much sooner
than your wages themselves. You will
be the last man to get onto the band

prospect is that If you ever do over

This is not a heartening' prospect to

would even leave him as well off as
before. He is to make the whole con-

that some other man scales down the
debt that he owes, for all the vast
amount that the banks and other mon

save by paying their creditors in
cheap coin, he is to contribute in sweat
and blood.
