Kennedy of Bellefontaine, Ohio, was one
of them, and on account of his rulings
when presiding over the Ohio senate he
became famous. He was captain of
company F and assistant adjutant gen.
eral on General Crooks staff. William
C. Lyon of Newark was first lieutenant
of Company c, became lieutenant gov
ernor Of Ohio and embarkedin in the news
paper business. He has lately figured
in a sensational libel suit.

Colonel E. F.. Scammon, successor of
Rosecrans as commander Of the regl-
ment died in New York in July of last
year. He was an instructor at West
Point, and had Grant, Longstreet, A. p.
and D. H. Hill and other distinguished
fighters as his pupils. The gallant"
Colonel James M. Comley, who was COM
mander of a regiment and later minister
to Honolulu, died in Toledo, Ohio, in
1889 or 1890. General RUSSELL Hastings,
a very intimate friend of the president,
was major of the regiment. President

On September 4, at Fremont, Ohio,
the birthplace of ex-President Hayes,
the reunion Of one of the most notable
regiments of the late war will be held.
1t is the Twenty-third Ohio Veterans
Volunteer infantry, The regiment is
notable for it's distinguished members,
both living and dead Chief among them
is William Mckinley, president OF the
United States. He enlisted in Company
e, when but II years of age. His tact
and executive ability became apparent
| in the early part Of the war, when he
was connected with the quartermaster's s
| department of the regiment. When
Rutherford B. Hayes became command
er of the Twentythird he appointed
| Mckinley a member of his staff, where
the young soldier remained nearly two
lyears, and of him Hayes has said: Il
| did literally and in fact know him like
book, and loved him like brother" p"
After the battle of Antietam, when Ser
geant Mckinley was on General Crooks
staff, Governor Todd, at General Hayes
request. with that peculiar emphasis of
his, gave this order: Let Mckinley be
promoted from sergeant to lieutenant "
He was promoted to captain Of Com
pany G on July 25, 1864, and was such at
| the end Of the war. On March 13, 1866,
he was brevetted major.
The first major of the Twenty-third
was Rutherford B. Hayes. One of the
condolences in history, then, is that the
first and the last major of this regiment
each became president Of the United
States, and the reunion of the regimen
| is to be held In 1897, at Fremont, the
home of the first major, and is to be at
tended by the last major of the regiment,
now president of the United States. What
regiment Is more notable than the Twen-
ty-third, In that It has furnished two
presidents Of this great nation, and both
of them from the same state, and both
governors at different times of the same
commonwealth.
The supreme court and the senate OF
the United States also found one Of their
occupants in the Twenty third regiment.
| Stanley Matthews, the great Ohio jurist,
was the first lieutenant colonel of the
regiment. He was appointed by Hayes
to the supreme court and was national
character.

performed by shippers three miles or
more from California, we fail to see the
use of chartering a tug. supplying the

figure that for a longer period than that
Of the queen has filled the political
stage. That is a remarkable position for
any public man to hold. To all others
the queen represents knowledge, expert
ence and training which none of them
a possibly possess. She knows more
about politics. persons, movements,
routine, than any man who may be one
of her advisers. She began by learning
from the least OF them; she ends by in
~structing them all. No one knows so
much of the private history of men and
of families, and in all her life there has
been, with the exception, of the Lady
Flora Hastings case, of which we yet
know little or nothing, no example of
any mistake or indiscretion ON the part
of the queen. She has hated some of her
advisers. distrusted some, and merely
disliked others, but every one Of them
has testified to her perfect faithfulness
to them all.--"Yoke of the Empire, /"

Government Currency.

The reason bank circulation has been
decreasing through II term of years, and
why it is inelastic, remaining almost
without change from season to season,
is that the security for it is a deposit of
government bonds. The bank capital is
In the treasury instead Of in business.
The profits on circulation decline as the
bonds increase in value or the rate Of
interest declines, and the redemption
process is slow and ineffective. The
dangers of the government currency
and the aaiciencies of the bank cnrren-
cy are noS pretty well recognized, and
every day shows increased earnestness
in the demands Of business men for a
complete and permanent cure.-Iron
