A BRAVE SOLDIER.
Lieut.. Col. Wallace Would Heartily Rec
Ommend the Promotion OF
{. X. Cheadle.

In the issue Of the Democrat of May

made some dirty filings Mt Strgt.
Cheadle, Of Co. |. lie says that Mr..
Cheadle has at last, after thegreatest
persistency, secured II discharge and
will soon return To Lpwistown. 1t
is Il grievous disappointment to
many Of Mr.. Cheadlc's friends to have
HIM take this step. He is neither
sick nor wounded, there is no illness
in his family, aud while we thought
under the circumstances il was an
fll-advised move for him to enlist, vet
after he chose tn do so he should
have hravcly stood the test and re-
manned with the boys until all had
been mustered out. Neither Mr..
Chcadle nor Rev. Pfaus have added
to their reputation by securing dis
charges i'm the manner which they
have"
The writer made no attempt
to ascertain the facts, but simply
wrote with "A well-cOnceived purpose
to iniure the brave soldier at home.
Mr.. Cheadle has made no attempt
whatever to secure his discharge.
The discharge was secured without
his knowledge, and it is not even
known whether he accepted it. The
presumption il that he did not. But
even ii he did, ii was through a lack
OF knowledge OF the circumstances
that prompted the efforts Of his
friends rather than from any desire
Of his to leave the field. The uncer-
tainty OF the welfare of those dear to
him at home might hav e caused him
To leave his comrades, but nothing
else. He il not that kind Of asoldier.

Dcmocracy-mOdern Democracy is
indeed in n sad plight. 1t is ar
raigncd against everything patriotic,
praiseworthy or productive. 1t is a
foe to everything that has money,
brains or enterprise. 1t antagonizes
every step of the great American
people to seek new markets and
spread civilization and Christianity
over the face Of the earth. 1t opposes
a high standard OF efficiency In the
army and navy and encourages in
suit to the flag Of freedom. Surely
modern Democracy has forsaken the
teachings of Old Hickory, who was
the greatest Democrat when it was
an honor to be a Democrat, and who
threatened to hang higher than
Hamen men who were guilty of no
greater REASONABLE utterances than
Edward Atkinson, Professor Rogers,
and their like. Andrew Jackson
would have planted his foot firmly
upon the neck OF such traitors, and
we believe that il Is only their in
significance that shields the Atkin-
son-Aguinaldo traitors from the Just
wrath of the powers that be in the
present instance.-Dillion Tribune.

pleted the preparation OF circular
letter which Is to be sent to investors
In municipal bonds In all the money
centers OF the country. Wheeling In
cluded.
The circular Is "feeler" In advance
Of the formation of refund plans by

appointed, and which is composed OF
Mayor Sweeney and Councllmen John
Waterhouse and NJ. A. Chew. OF the
first branch. and Councilmen James P.
Maxwell, John W. Kindelbergcr and
Andrew Korn. OF the second branch.
One of the most important questions
to be put to the investor Is how he
would look at q three per cent Wheel
Ing bond, On the answers TO this
question depends the success or failure
of the refund movement in n large
measure. At present the city bonds
bear interest from four to six per cent,
and refund of the entire debt ut
three per cent would mean very
large annual saving in interest.
It is proposed to include in the re-
fund the water boards Indebtedness
and about $4,000 of outstanding city
orders. or the water board indebt-
ness. six per cent interest is paid on
$4,000, while the balance Is without in
tcrest. Three per cent on the entire
Indebtedness would mean considera-
BILE saving.
The circular is TO be submitted to
City Solicitor Nesbitt this week. and
after 1t has secured his approval as
to form and legality, 1t will be sent
out
1t is proposed to make the refund

ment of the principal to be made in
