Monument for the Brave.

Congressman Mondell of Wyoming
has introduced bill providing for the
ere ction of monument to the memory
of the victims of the Fort Phil Kear-
ney massacre, and appropriating s. 900
for that purpose. The bill is meri-
torious one, and should receive the
support Of all western members of con-
gress.
1t was about thirty years ago that
terrible massacre occurred. Col. Fet-
terman and eighty-six soldiers were led
into an ambuscade near the fort, and
all were ruthlessly slaughtered by the
Sioux under Red Cloud. 1t was one of
the most shocking massacres that ever
marked the history of the frontier, and
sent thrill of horror along the entire
border. AS the Ne,cs recalls the fact,
it has never been surpassed by any
similar occurrence except the Custer
massacre on the Little Big Horn in
1876. The men fought to the bitter
end. Surrounded by hundreds of Sioux
they sold their lives as dearly as posi-
BILE, but valor was hopeless against the
desperate odds with which they con-
tended, and not a man YVES left to tell
the story of the fight The officers and
men were buried at the post. 1t was a
sad holiday week for the remnant of

A COlOred Veteran.

Comrade Wellington Schuyler is very
proud of the distinction of being the
first negto appointed on the police
force Of New York, which was done
last week by the unanimous vote of the
commissioners, that be might have
charge of the building of the New York
College of Pharmacy. He celebrated
the event by appearing in his G.. A. r.
uniform, with his breast decorated by
his G. A. r. badge, Thirteenth corps
badge, Masonic badge, and a McKin-
ley gold badge. He is very popular
with the students of the College of
Pharmacy, where he has been janitor
for eight years, and they also cele-
brated the event. He is splendid
specimen of physical man, measuring
six feet one inch high, and well pro-
portioned. He was born in Flushing,
l.. l., fifty years ago, and enlisted at
the age of sixteen in Rhode Island
heavy artillery regiment. He made q
good record, was wounded in the leg at
Matagorga Island, and came home a
color sergeant. About year ago he
attracted attention by arresting two
sneak thieves who had been "work-
ing " the building. They claimed to be
detectives, but did not fool him. He
gave them both good thrsshing and
took them to the police station.

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
Army Signaling.

The New York National Guard has
adopted the Myer system of signaling,
and is industrio usly practicing it.
This code has been in use in the navy
for many years. 1t was devised by
Gen. Myer while the civil war was in
progress. The regular army gave up
the Morse code some time ago, and the
various national guards have followed
its lead. The merits of the Myer code
are its simplicity and the rapidity with
which it can be used The Morse code
is system of dots, dashes and spaces.
The letters are made up of various
combinations of and g. 2 2, for in
stance meaning "S," 2 meaning
B." and l meaning a." Spaces have
been done away with altogether. The
numeral 3 takes their place. One 3
means the end of a word, two IS mean
the end of a sentence anu three 3s
mean the end of message. The
method of signaling the numerals is as
follows A wave of the torch to the
right means /, wave TO the left means
2, and a perpendicular wave means 3
Under the Morse code dots and spaces
were very often confused and mes
sage bungled.
The new torch is also supposed to be
an i'm rovement on the old. The old
torch was made of big wick, one end
of which rested in vessel containing
kerosene. Every twenty minutes or SO
the signaling had to stop in order that
more oil might be put into the vessel.
This often caused delay when minutes
were precious. The new torch is quite
different. 1t consists of ball of as
bestos at the end of an iron rod. just
below the ball is copper cup to catch
the drippings. The ball is soaked with
kerosene, and all that is needed to keep
it burning is to plunge it into pail of
oil when its light shows signs of dwind-
ling, and this can be done so quickly
that the signaling need not be inter
rupted.

Sheridan's Best Speech.

"The last time Gen. Phil. Sheridan
was in Milwaukee," said Bob Howard,
the newspaper man, twas when the
Army of the Cumberland held its an
nual reunion here in 1882. A banquet
was given the association at the Ma
tional Home. General Sheridan pre-
sided. In his opening speech he was
puzzled for words, but after a fashion
he managed to stammer out something
that but few heard and less understood.
l was reporting the event for the Sen
tinel and had taken down everything
Sheridan said just as he spoke it.
When he got through he came around
to me, and said: Look here, Mr.. Re-
porter, do you want to please me?'
"'Deed I do, general
So Then please don't print any of
that d slush of mine. just make up
nice little speech for me-"
Howard made up dainty little
speech for the commander of the Amer
lean army, which greatly pleased him.
A few years later, when he was on
duty at Washington, Towards duties
frequently took him to headquarters
and he always met hearty welcome.
The first time he called Sheridan said
ooh, yes, l remember you. You are
the man who made that nice speech for
me in Milwaukee,"
On several occasions he introduced
Howard to his friends as the author OF
the best speech he ever made.-Chi.

The Service Pension.

Now is the time to begin active work
for the service pension. 1t must come.
1t is due us; it is but justice, and the
time for that justice is at hand.
We want it now, while we can have
the benefit of it before we are all
dead.
We want it as basis and security
for other pension legislation.
We want to put an end to the heart
sickening circumlocution and delay in
the pension bureau.
We want it as the national recogni-
tic n of the value of our services and
sacrifices.
We want it to give recognition and
honor to every man who served his
country faithfully in the days of her
trial. His pension certificate will be a
title. deed to honor, which he can
proudly transmit to his descendants
and will be as proudly cherished by
them.
Let us all go to work earnestly fol-
this one measure, without any division
of our forces upon other propositions
We can only get one thing, end only
get that thing by unity of effort Let
us get this thing first, and then turn
our attention to other legislation thai
we desire.
The time is now ripe for this effort
Every hing favors it. Let US improve
the opportunity by going to work ear
nestly, and at once.-National Tri
bune.
