Grants Anccdotc of Rrnrr.

III lEP SCtOu'l NOluiht HIS tl
sonal Memoirs Gen. Grant tells this
story about Gen. Bragg:
Il have heard in the old army an an
ecdote very characteristic of Bragg.
On one occasion, when stationed at a
post of several companies. commanded
by a field officer, he was himself cCm-
manding one of the companies and at
the same time acting as post quarter
master and commiSsary. He was first
lieutenant at the time, but his captain
was detached on other duty.
"As commander of the company he
made a requisitiOn upon the quarter
master r-himself-fOr something he
wanted. AS quartermaster he declined
to fill the requisition and indorsed on
the back of it his reasons for so doing.
AS company commander he respond
ed to this, urging that his requisftiOn
called for nothing but what he was en-
titled to,and that it was the duty of the
uuartermaster to fill it. As quarter
master he still persisted that he was
right.
"In this condition of affairs Bragg
referred the whole matter to the COM
manding officer of the post. The latter,
when he saw the nature of the matter
referred. exclaimed:
"'My God, Mr.. Bragg, You have
auarreled with every officer in the
army, and now you are quarreling with
yourself"

A Guerrilla's Death.

a shot had been fired at us as we
rode along the highway in column of
fours, and a trooper reeled and pitch
ed from his saddle, shot through the
heart. The shot was fired by a guer-
rilla hidden in n corntieid. and we got
the order to throw down the fence and
ride through the field. He was cap
tured at the far end of it. just as he
was about to gain the woods. He was

and with eyes of defiance.

No andshakes-no tears-no senti-

the house was large shade tree. Two
or three halters were knOtted together
the rope thrown over a limb-a moose
slipped over the mans head. and the
next moment he was dangling clear
of the ground. He had no excuse
made no plea-asked no mercy. He
went to his death with the stoicism of
an Indian. Wife and daughter stood
in the doorway and saw all. but there
were no tears-nO Outburst. As we
were ready to ride away the woman
came slowly down to the spot, looked
at the body for half a moment, and
then turEed to ask:
as Jim dead?'
"Yes." answered the captain.
HUI And she walked slowly back
to the house and entered it and shut
the door. and we rode on and left the
corpse hanging.-DetrOit Free Press.

If you favor public robbery for the inter-
est of the few:
If you want the banks to tell the people
what they all must do,
If you would be the under dog and to
Wall street music hop,
You'd better stay right where you're at
you wouldn't make a pop.
If you favor debt and misery forever with
out end,
If for Cleveland's endless golden chain you
earnestly contend,
If mossback in politics, without sense
enough to flop
You're in bondage to the money power and
wouldn't make pop.
If you believe with Cleveland that credit
comes by debt,
If you advocate gold standard and for
bonds you fume and fret,
If you cringe before the money lords, sell
your vote for pie and sop,
You are not the right material out of
which to make pop.
The times now call for heroes. honest,
brave and true,
Patriots like the fathers, who pulled Co.
lumbia through,
Men who are right and full Of fight from
bottom up to top
Such is the grade Of human goods from
which to make a pop.

HOW THE THING IS WORKED.

The Republicans of Illinois are hav-
ing spasm Of virtue and propose to
pass law reducing railroad fares in
that state to two cents a mile. Bet
the railroad managers understood a
thing or two and propose to trump
that trick by having bill introduced
to abolish free pass. AS the honorable
legislators will object to having their
pass privileges taken away and the
railroads will issue no more free passes
II fares are reduced to two cents a
mile, there will be no reduction OF
fares and no abolition Of passes

The coal trusts of the country will alb
sorb $100,0OO,O0O worth of the existing
property of the people during the winter
by extortion on coal. How long can the
people hold out while the trusts are so
rapidly accumulating the seventy bill
lions of national wealth? In theory
every man may own any amount of prop
erty, but practically the average man of
the future will be no more able to hold
any than he is able to belong to the

THE TRUSTS SHUT UP.
Drove Out OF Business by Georgia
Laws.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. Every trust
operating in the state OF Georgia has
succum bed to the Calvin antitrust
law. enacted by the recent general
assembly. AS result of the opera
tion of that measure, the tobacco, pot
ash. snuff, coffee, match and other,
trusts that have been operating in
Georgia, have notified jobbers and
merchants, throughout thc.state, hand
ling their goods that the antitrust
act made their existing contracts un-
lawful and they would. therefore, no
longer be considered by either party.
This throws the long closed markets
wide open to competition.

According to the ruling of the federal

beyond the reach of the law. The only

Combinations to xoh the people are

people from being robbed are unlawful

IF we had a duty on tea

If We had an increase tax on
beer and tobacco every cent
Of it would so into the treasury
for a like purpose.
Neither of these taxes will
be divided between the treas

But a duty on hides VII com
pei the people to pay rich con-
tribute to the beef trust. A
duty on raw wool will compel
the people to pay heavy bo-
nus to the wool growers. A
discriminating duty on refined
sugar means the transfer Of
millions of the peoples money
TO the Golfers of the sugar
trust.
But the present senate is
not legisiating for the treasury
or for the people, but for the
trusts, the favored classes and
the distributors to campaign
funds.
Therefore the proposed
duty on tea and the additional
tax on tobacco and beer are

IS to be a duty on hides, a duty
