Miliionaire Soldiers.

The number Of millionaires who enlisted in
this war must be stunning blow TO the So
cialistic and anarchistic howlers who have been
holding public attention more or less during late
labor troubles John Jacob Astor, who is said
to be the richest man in America, has never
been seen to shrink from any of the enemy s
bullets so far. Hamilton Fish laid down his
life just like an everyday soldier Roosevelt had
earned reputation for unusual bravery William
E. English, of Indiana, said to be the richest
man in that State, bore himself only a man
can Mr.. English enlisted early in the war, and
was given captains commission Gen.
Wheeler's staff.
He is the son of William II. English, who
was Vice Presidential candidate with Hancock
During the engagement at Grimes's Hill Mr.
English was thrown from his horse, which became
frightened at the explosion of a shrapnel she'll
The horse fell upon him, causing internal
injuries. Capt. English was carried to the hos
ptal at Gen. Skaters headquarters, where he
remained for five days. Then he seized with
a fever which closely resembled the yellow fever.
He was invalded and placed aboard the Seneca.
During the miserable trip this vessel Capt
English won the affection and esteem of all on
board. He gave up all his personal supplies to
the sick and wounded, and otherwise showed
a consideration which marked him man
filed with genuine sympathy for those in a
worse condition than himself.

Flax Spinning in Cork.

Consul Swiney has written to the State
Department from Cork in regard to~-a.
large spinning and weaving establish
ment in that city. The company en-
ploys $50 workmen, and spins flax grown
in Russia, France and Belgium, in addi-
tion to that produced in Ireland. This,
adds the consul, is necessary in order to
fill orders for different grades OF yarn,
the French fax being very fine, that from
Belgium slightly heavier, while Russian
fax is coarse and strong. The growth and
manufacture of fax, says Mr.. Swiney
has been carried on with success in diff
ferent countries of Europe during many
years, and it would seem that in the
United States, with its infinite variety of
soil and climate, this industry should
flourish equally well. 1t is said by Cork
manufacturers that America is their best
market.

WENT HOME LIKE TRAMPs.
Trials of Twelve Illinois Soldiers
Left Hehind at Tanra

Chicago, Aug. 7.-When the First Reg
fment. Illinois Volunteers, embarked on
troopships and steamed away from Pic
mic Island, off Tampa Bay, on July .,
it left twelve of its members behind i'll.
Because of red tape and misunderstand-
ings these men were left almost penni-
less, without medical treatment and for
the most part without aid of any kind.
For week, singly, in pair and in trios,
the twelve have been drifting into Chi
cago. Two or three of the more fortu-
nate have come by means of money for
warded to them by friends. Two have
travelled partly on Government transpor-
tation. One of them was half delirious
from sunstroke. The others got here as
best they could, begging their food like
tramps, riding on freight trains, in front
of blind baggage cars and on trucks of
passenger coaches.
The members of the party are Corporal

CURIOUS MESSAGES.
A Michigan Mothers Anxiety About

Many curious letters and kilograms,
principally from relatives of soldiers at
the front, find their way into the office
of Adjutant General Corbin. Some are
only annoying and others are genuinely
funny, their humor being rich because it
is unconscious.

strangely modern, though it is al least 1,6o0
years old:

senate and threaten to block all bond
/ issues and all other legitimate means
! of raising money until the surplus in
the treasury is used up, and the silver
bullion owned by the government, fool
ishly called the seigniorage, is coined
into silver dollars. They thus show
that under the pretense of humanity
and the independence of Cuba they
have plunged the country into war
for free silver and dishonest dollar.
Under the plea of patriotism and hui
mainly they are working for the silver
mine owners and for national dishonor,
and they apparently care not what the
outcome of the war may be if they can
by means thereof establish their rotten
and degraded currency.
1.-The Times-H Herald charges that at
this very moment, when the nation is
on the eve of a war, the extent of
which no man can foresee, and which
will cost an enormous outlay of blood
and treasure, the Tellers, Morgans, Pet
tigrews, Chambers and Joneses are all
gleeful because they see in this a pos
sible way for bringing the country down
to the degraded monetary standard
they have so long advocated. These OBJ
structionists should not be suffered to
have their way for a moment, but be
stamped out by the iron heel of public
opinion. This is no time for playing
politics. The nation is at war and
every energy of the people must be
devoted to making that war as short
and as decisive as possible, with the
least injury to the people Of the United
States. To debase the currency at such
time is a national crime"
Once before the Times-Herald raised
its harsh. discordant voice to declare
that war is preferable to free silver,
and now it is basely declaring that the
silver men have done all IN their power
to bring on the war to aid free silver.
The silver cause hasn't a thing in the
world to gain from the war. The war
may be the paramount issue in the fall
campaign, and if it is silver must take
a back seat as an issue. If the war is
the issue in 1898 it is by no means i'm
probable that it will be in 1900. Under
the excitement of a great war the peo-
pie would be twice as liable to vote for
men for congress who would in turn
vote for inserting a gold payment
clause in bonds as they would in the
quiet times of peace We repeat, sill
yer has nothing to gain from the war
What a low, contemplate thing it is
for the Times Herald to give utterance
to such sentiments as it has. The sill
yer men in congress have stood, and
will stand, most Loyalty by the presi-
dent The Times Herald seeks to make
the war a party question, not the silver

A HARSH, DIscoRDANT NOTE.

Whatever may have been the differ
ences of opinion among Americans
prior to the moment when war was de-
olared as TO its wisdom or justifica-
ton, there has been no two opinions
as TO the duty Of American citizens
since; the press and people of the
country have sunk all differences and
have not sought to make the war a
party question that practical capital
might be made out of it. But the Chi
cago Times-Herald utters at this juno
ture a harsh, discordant note, one
sadly out of harmony with the times.
1t says now that war is on-egged on
to no little extent by the silverite party
in congress-it would like to know if
that party is still going ito play poll
tics" with the question? 1t has got
wat its leaders wanted, it declares.
and as a result of the war there will
be a free Cuba" dear to the heart,
probably, Of every professor of Democ-
racy, but having this, are the Joneses
and Baileys and Tellers going to play
the role of obstructionists? 1t looks
like it. Here we are On the verge of a.
war, the immediate future of which no
man can forecast, when the whole ma
ton should be animated by a single
thought, but when the administration
asks for the means to carry on the
war it is at once met by caviling and
by obstruction from the free silver SEN
ators, says the Tines Herald 1t
continues, I'm our present sit
uation is there anybody who will
deny that the government must
have large and instantaneous means
for carrying on the war? And how are
they to be obtained, we would like to

ton, Ore, was designated by the war
department as the place for the Idaho
volunteers to rendezvous, and
the rendezvous was only changed
to Boise on the urgent re-
quest of Senator Shoup; and his re-
quest was made after the designation of
the places of rendezvous had been sent
out by the Associated Press. The As
ISOLATED Press report was absolutely
correct, and the Tribune deliberately
altered it.
Ogden was designated as the place
where the Utah volunteers were to be
mustered in, and the Associated Press
reported it correctly. And the Tribune
deliberately changed the Associated
Press dispatch. Subsequently Salt Lake
was substituted for ogden.
Instead of correcting manifest err
rors," the Tribune was simply taking,
inst as it faxed about the ultimatum
and resolution being sent to Minister
Woodford even before they were signed,
and to bolster up its own fake declared
that the same exclusive" news it had
about this was published in the Phil
adelphia Ledger on the Tuesday even
ing before it published it on Wednes-
day morning, when the Philadelphia
Ledger is, as everybody knows, morn
ing paper.
The Tribune has lot Of rambling
laudation of it's enterprise %, the pur-
pose of which is to deceive its readers.
The Herald is perfectly content to pur-
sue the even tenor of it's way, furnish
ing honest, reliable news, and all the
