From the Utica Observer.
"chargfng is the last resort OF brave
but baffied commanders" said local
critic of military affairs, and IL almost
always results disastrously."
Thirty-one years ago the affairs OF the
confederate army of Northern Virginia
were desperate enough TO warrant IT'S

would have prolonged the civil war for at
least another year.
The preliminaries were well arranged.
First of all 100 men appeared in front OF
our nickel line and announced themselves
as North Carolina deserters. They were
all armed. but the officer in charge of
our pickets welcomed them. and told
them TO bring in their guns. as General
Grant had recently issued an order COM
handing his quartermasters TO pay for
all guns brought in from the rebel ranks.
So this 100 of armed men were graciOusly
invited TO march in behind our pickets-
When once there they turned suddenly
upon the astonished union troops and re-
quested them TO surrender in words toe

Yiv' of the rebel troops. who bounced in
upon them 10000 strong or more. They
were under the command OF General VII
liam Malone of Virginia. After capturing
the Fourteenth they were to move for
ward to City Point
But here an obstacle arose that neither
Malone nor General Lee had foreseen.
That obstacle was our supplies of food.
1t was utterly impossible to get the con-
federates, who were actually starving,
beyond our soft bread and coffee. our
fresh beef and salt pork. The whole body
paused and went to eating, drinking and
making merry without regard TO the con-
clusion OF that well-known saying. For
tomorrow we die" IL was all in vain
that General Malone threatened and
swore and coaxed his men. They simply
would not stir until they had satisfied
their appetites.
This pause was the salvation of the
union army. II enabled not only the ma
jority OF the Fourteenth to escape from
their captors. but allowed the other d.
visions of the Ninth corps to come to
their relief, so that when the rebels were
ready to advance they found the way
blocked and they were compelled to retire
from the scene of their victory and their
breakfast table back to Petersburg badly
beaten and carrying with them nothing
but full stomachs
The foregoing is a brief but truthful
account of General Lees last charge. In
a little more than a week from that day
he evacuated Richmond and Petersburg
and i'm less than another week he sur
rendered his entire army to General
Ulysses S. Grant.

From the ST Louis Globe-Democrat
If il be true, as asserted by a great
orator, that "a neglected opportunity
is, in the eyes of the Lord. the worst of
transgressions." Benjamin Harrison
stands charged with two great offenses
in his recent years. The first opportu-
nifty that he neglected was that of APP
pointing Walter Q. Gresham to a va
cancy on the supreme court, which oc-
Cured during his presidential admins
tration. He and Gresham had been I'M
friendly to each other, but not as much
so as Lincoln and Chase when the for
mer elected the applause of the whole
country by appointing the latter TO the
chief justiceship. The pressure in ia
vor OF Gresham's appointment was very
strong. but when Mr.. Harrison was APP
preached on the subject he is reported
to have said: Il am a Presbyterian
and do not indulge In profanity, but III
be id If I'll appoint Walt Gresham TO
any office whatever" Harrison was not
big enough to rise above personal en-
nifty, as Lincoln did.
The second great opportunity was Tor
Mr. Harrison to enter the Indiana re-
publican convention on Thursday last
and make a speech in favor OF Mckin-
lev. He was urged to be present and
make a speech. without any intent TO
commit him to Mckinley but he re-
manned at home. He ought TO have
gone, and he ought to have caught the
spirit of the convention and Joined in
the chorus of McKinleyism. He had
nothing TO lose by such a course, as his
own aspirations. If he had any, met
with no response I'm the convention,
and at the lowest estimate OF his mo-
tives he could have made a virtue out
of a necessity and shown himself to be
in sympathy with those around him.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, August
8.-Ex-Governor Flower is
home from New York, and is
working hard among his demo
cratic townsmen to get them
TO vote against Bryan and
Sewall. He shipped to Wat
ertown 1000 copies of Dol
lars or WHAT" a gold argu-

distributed free to democrats.
Today Charles E. Holbrook
and James A. Ward circulated
a petition among democrats
asking them to sign the call
Eor a meeting to be held to-
morrow evening for the pur-
pose of organizing a gold club.
K. ?. Flower and Daniel Crit
fin are among the signers.
But the list is a small one, and
does not contain the names of
over'fve democratic residents
Of Mr.. Flowers ward, the
Third.
The rank and file of the par
~ here are enthusiastic in
their support of Bryan and
.Sewall, and are indignant
over the action of MIR. Flower.
They have determined that
Mr.. Flower will not go as a
delegate to the State conven-
ton and are prepared to de-
feat him by a large majority at
the caucus next week.

Coin Haryey,s .Scientificr Money.

"Out of the wisdom of man came the
these metals to be coined into money at
a ratio in weight of 16 to /, or in the
ratio provided from time to time. The
option was given by law for the people
to use money made from either metal,
neither redeemable in the other, but
each of itself money. The option was
with the debtor, the person getting the
money in motion. The debtor thus con-
trolled the demand, and as demand
gives value, the supply being limited,
this option to the debtor shifted the de-
mand from gold to silver or silver to
gold as each increased or decreased in
quantity. The debtor used the one most
accessible; so if silver became cheaper
the demand was shifted to it, and this
brought it back to a parity with gold,
and vice versa.
How ridiculousl The idea that we can
have scientific or just system Of money
which gives debtors the option of pay
ing in two or more metals at fixed ratios
The chief work of money is to facilitate
exchanges. Who prefers to make con-
tracts in uncertain terms? What mer-
chant would care to give farmers credit
and to give them the option of paying
in wheat at so cents, corn at 40 cents,
oats at 20 cents or potatoes at Is cents
per bushel? And who but the farmers
themselves would pay for the risks and
uncertainties if a merchant were COM
PEELED by law to give credit only in this
way2
