KILLING oDrous orrrCERs.

One OF the printed accounts OF the
death OF Major John A. Logan. who wa:
lately killed In the Philippines. ascribes
the fatal shot 10 one OF his own men, 4
being said that he was overbearing ant
irascIblc in his dealings with them and
was heartily detested.
Uaing that publication as text. a
/ number Of writer's more or less imasina
tive. have published stories reciting no"
during the war between the states many
unpopular officers Of each Of the two con-
tending armies were killed by their own
| troops We must express our disbelief
that many" were thus killed in the Con-
feGerate army. Hundreds were threat
ened unknown 20 themselveO, but in
| very rare instances. indeed. were these
threats carried into execution Most gem
| orally the angered men only needed cool
Ing time 10 find ont that their cause OF
grievance was slight Similarly, millions
OF boys have sworn that when they were
grown 10 mans estate they would kill
OF thousands OF school-teachers. But we
are not aware OF any tables which repre-
sent that there has been any remarkable
mortality among teachers.
1t Is supposed By many who are g
norant OF the practical details OF war
that II would be easy enough for a sol
der 20 kin any officer who had incurred
his hatred: but not so. Opportunities for
him TO pick out his enemy ard kill him
without danger 10 others and without
risk TO himself come more rarely than
the public would imagine. Yet We must
say that in the Confederate army there
were stories whispered about that such
and such an officer who had made him
self oclOus. and who was supposed TO
have been killed by a Yankee bullet. IN
reality had been killed by one Of his own
men, Sometimes this was said 10 have
occurred on the sklrmish lines; some
times. when the whole line was advance
ing and firing; sometimes when our troops
were retreating I'm confusion. But We r.
peat. we doubt If there were many cases
i'm the Confederate army-or in either
army. for the matter of that. Every old
soldier knows that the man who is enter
ing a battle usually has other things TO
think Of than satisfying private revenge.
The Importance Of taking care of himself
as much rs he may consistently with his
duty as a soldier is ever present in his
mind.
Returning to the case of Major Logan,
we must say that If we are 10 believe the

There Is a movement at Chicago toward
prevention Of the proposed railway sleep
ing and parlor-car monopoly Truman
Taylor. a shareholder of the Pullman
Company, formally objects to the pur-
chase of the Wagner Palace-Car Com
pany by the Pullman Company. declaring
in court that such purchase will create
a trust in, and a monopoly Of the sleep
ing and parlor-car business, and Is in
direct violation of the laws of Illinois,
as it will prevent competition. Mr.. Tay-
Tor states in his bill Of complaint that the
value of the property Of the Wagner
Company, for which il is asserted stock
of the Pullman Company ofsa face value
Of S20,OO00OO. and a market value of SS9,-
O0),0oo is TO be exchanged, does not exceed
the sum Of $l0OOOOoO, and that the diff
ference between the actual value of the
property and the amount which is 10
be paid represents what Is TO be paid by
the Pullman Company for the good will
and the control of the business OF the
Wagner Company. lie asks that the
injunction of the Court issue to restrain
the consummation of the proposed pur-
chase until the hearing OF his suit, and.
upon final hearing. that a perpetual order
be entered restraining the carrying out
Of the contemplated purchase or the is
suing or delivering of any of the Pullman
stock to the Wagner Company or any of
It's agents. lie certainly puts his case
strongly.
