Going into Winter Quarters.


The next day-Sunday- the battle

Winters day can dawn in Tennessee, after
q fortnight OF doleful tleInges. Tennessee

trouble from the wagon-coyer, and intended
TO cherish for future emergencies. He felt
his neck and found the strip that he had tied
there, but that was all that there was of it.
A sharp knife hal cut away the rest so deity
that he had not felt its loss.
Shortys boiler got very hot at once, and he
began blowing off steam. Somehow hc had
taken an especial fancy to that piece OF can

who had stolen it.

THE accounts of the Postal Money
Order Offices are now undergoing III
vestigation, and the Post Office Depart
ment feels elaied over the fact that it
discovers only about 100 faults, irregu-
larities and frauds in 10000. Suppose
that 50 great a percentage as 120 frauds
In 100000 could be discovered in the
pension list, how the country would
ring with clamors against the corrupt
pension-roll." There is 40 question but
that the postal money system is exceed
ingly well managed, and nobody thinks
of denouncing it because there is some
thing wrong with one order in 1000.
On the other hand, the severest investi-
cation has not been able to detect more
than one fraud in 10000 pensioners
This is sufficient answer TO the pension
hating clamor.

The New York SUMS statement that
there are but 727 600 surviving veterans,
while there are $4,000 already Oh the
pension roll, and 1S7, 600 more trying to
get there, is receiving rather rough treat
ment from various sources.
A clerk in the Pension Bureau made
reply that the enumeration Of veterans
in the Census of 1890 was confessedly
incomplete. and that the number of sur
vivors in 1890, according to the ablest
Of actuaries and statisticians command.
ing all the data in the War Department
was 1856, eco, or fully one-third more
than the Suns enumeration"
The Sun tried to break the force of
this by pooh-poohing the statements of
a 81, 200 clerk" as if 81 200 clerk
was not quite as capable of adding two
and two together as a many-thousand-a.
year editor.
Hon. Robert p. Porter, Superinten-
dent Of the Census Of 1890, took the
matter up. He assumed that the re-
port Of 1,034,073 alive at that time
was substantially correct, but disagreed
radically with the Suns figures as to
the mortality since that time. He made
an analysis of the age tables of the vet.
Grams, and comparing them with ac.
cepted actuary tables, came to the con.
clusion that there were S24, 100 veterans
alive June J., 1897, and that there will
be 1850 alive June ], 1898. This
would make nearly 100000 more vet
Grams alive than the San computed.

THE LARGEST PERCENTAGE

The 18th Mass. Webster Regiment)
makes claim for the honor hitherto
held unquestioned by the lst MINI. of
the highest percentage of loss in a single
engagement
The lst MINI. took into its famous
charge at Gettysburg eight companies,
with 262, all told, present for duty, and
lost 81 killed and 173 wounded; total
of 224, or 81 per cent.
The 18th Mass. had nine companies
in line at Antietam, with 262 present
swords and muskets. 1t had 40 killed
1913 wounded and 10 missing. As the
latter were not afterward heard from,
the presumption is that they were killed.
This makes total loss of 222, or 81 per
cent

OPPoRTUNE VICTORIES. q,

Whenever the Cuban question breaks
out in Washington the press dispatches
from Havana for few days abound
with Spanish victories. OF course, it
always happens that it was false
rumor, and in fact all lie, but by close
censorship over the cables they manage
to do till the furry is over. Mr.. De
LONE, the Spanish Minister in Wash
ington, might just as well keep supply
on hand and save the Associated Press
the expense Of cable charges from Ha-
vana. He calls for them when they are
considered necessary, and we respectfully
suggest that he should be more consider
ate and have his typewriters attend to it.
Then, too, if he actually dictated the re-
ports to his stenographer alp danger of a
mistake would be avoided and the stories
might be made little more plausible
than they now are sometimes, for Mr..
De LONE is discrete man. 1t is his
diplomacy and not the valor of the
Spanish soldiers that has saved Cuba to
Spain for the past two years.

THREE MONTHS IN THE SOUTHERN
COSFEDE.ACY.

We shall begin next week the publ
cation of story that IS unique in li,era-
ture. 1t is entitled, Three Months IN
the Southern Confederacy," by Lieut.
Col. Fremantle, of the Coldstream
Guards, one of the most famous regi-
ments in tie British army. Fremantlc
is now Lieutenant-G General in the
British army, and Knight Commander of
the Order of ST. Michael and St. George.
He was Governor and COMMANDMENTS
Chief of Malta, and commanded a
brigade in the Sudan campaign.
This narrative was first published in
Mobile during the war, on thin paper
and bound in wallpaper covers. 1t
had very limited circulation, and has
always been so scarce as to be found
only among collectors. To the mass of
readers it is unknown. Its value con-
sists in the fact that it was written By n
foreigner, military man, on tour of
observation. He was rather friendly to
the rebels. and now and then shows his
bias in what he writes. We can afford
at this day, however, to look complaic-
emily on these phases of the work. At
the time Col. Fremantle wrote he knew
his Government was doing all it could
to help the South whip the North, and
it was only natural for him to show that
be was a true Briton.
1t is as picture of actual conditions
within the rebel lines that the work is
now valuable, and of deep interest to
those interested in the details Of the
gigantic struggle We believe our
readers, who have been pleased with DIR.
Cannon's Inside of Rebellion will
find Freemantle's work great treat.
The men who won the great fight, and
their children and grandchildren, will
enjoy nothing better than to know how
things looked on the other side

trate the work, feature which the origi-

poles across it and fastening them down with
ropes and strips of bark to the lower logs.

WELCOME TO PRESIDENT DOLE.

l
For the first time in our history the
President of sister Republic is the
| Nations guest Tile circumstance that
he comes to lay his great office at our
feet and place in our hands the sovereignty
| of the Pacific ocean, does not alter the
fact. He will be treated accordingly.
President Dole. has borne himself
with dignity, and what he has said has
been practical and to the point. He has
pointed out in an interview with an
Associated Press reporter that the sugar
! lands of the Hawaiian Islands being
already practically under cultivation,
this product willn be greatly increased,
and it now comes in under the Reel
procity treaty substantially free of duty.
Hence, the proposed annexation of
Hawaii is no menace to the sugar beet
| industry. President Dole might also
| have said that the trans-continental rail-
road freights also cdectually bar COM
petition, and afford the greatest protec-
ton possible to the sugar beet industry
in the interior of our country.
President Dole also called attention
to the circumstance that while the sugar
lands were taken up and were under cul-
tivation already, there were great areas of
coffee lands open to Improvement. The
| profitable forms Of agriculture, and what
is OF more interest may be undertaken
without the vast capital required in the
sugar business.
The fact is that the battle over the
annexation of Hawaii has been con-
| fict between the friends of the treaty
and the gigantic sugar trust, between
patriotism and pelf The trust has
worked stealthily but industriously
The cloven foot has been kept we'll in
the background, while all sorts of false
reports us to the islands and the people
have been tireless!y circulated. The
fears of the tinid and the selfinterest of
various clements have been aroused.
The public mind has been studiously
diverted from the vast Importance OF
the position and directed to matters Of
minor detail. The whole present popu-
lation of the islahds.- would not over
stock a County in Ohio or Illinois, but
it has been held up as a bugaboo. 1t is
nothing to this cormorant that their posi-
ton practically commands the Pacific
coast of the northern continent in
this hemisphere that Its position IS
necessary to the domination of the
Inter-Oceanic Canal that will one day
unite our coasts; that without it
we are at the mercy of the maritime
powers struggling for mastery in the far
East; that it is the only missing link
left in the chain of island fortresses with
which Great Britain has us surrounded.
All these considerations weigh nothing
against the control of sugar business by
which a little coterie of New York
money kings add fifteen or twenty
millions a year to their boards.
1t is to tell the plain truth to the
American people, and clear away the
fog, that President Dole has come to
see us. We will give him hearty well
come both for his own sake and the
sturdy little Republic ne represents.
