Help me, Cassius, or 1 sink, y
shouted the imperial Caesar once
upon a time.
And this is the cry of Mark Hanna
now. He appeals to j. Pierpont Nor
gan to save him. He has been down
on his marrow bones before the grand
mogul of monopoly, pleading with
him to stop the great coal strike
Morgan holds the situation in the
palm of his hands.
He has been granted more than i'm
perial powers by the republican trust
party and now he is exercising those
powers in careless disregard of repub-
lican success. Mark Hanna tells Nor
gan that the republicans have all the
money they want. They do not ask
him for cent. But they plead with
him to stop the big coal strike. He
has submitted decoy proposition
which Hanna is now praying will be
accepted by the miners, and while it
may end the strike it will not remove
either the cause or effect.
The right of labor to organize TO
protect itself and deal with aggrega-
lions of capital has been the great
issue of most of the strikes that have
disturbed the industrial onditions of
the world. 1t is one of the main
points of dispute in the Pennsylvania
coal miners difficulties. ANY settle
ment, no matter what the increase in
pay offered, that does not concede
this psint. will be but temporary, and
a makeshift for political profit.

The straw vote fiend seems to have
gone into retirement for this campaign
and the reason of this is found in the
fact that the straw vote scheme is one
of the methods used by the repubIi
can organization for the purpose of
showing the strength of the party.
This year some attempts were made
to obtain favorable returns from straw
votes taken on railway trains. in ho-
tells, at non-partisan meetings. etc.
On each of these occasions the vote
showed such enormous democratic
majority that the managers of the re-
publican organization concluded it
would be better to not start this plan
for fear of provoking democrats into
doing the same thing, and thus give
away the weakness of the republican
party. One enthusiastic repu blican
started to take vote in a chair car
one day; after having canvassed half
the car without finding single repub-
iicau, he gave up the job. Another
in Illinois was caught reversing the
actual vote of car full of passengers
to make itappear in McKinley's favor.

Two Old Soldiers Fired on by Confederate

Leader Meet at EneampmeDt
Local interest attachesto the follow
/ ing article appearing in the National
Tribune. published at Washington:
I'm the remnant of the old I4th
Illinois cavalry at the reunion at the
ESberman house. Chicago. during en-
Icampment week, were veterans SCARED
and war-worn. with an occasional one
whose step was slow and haltiug; but
all were joyous and jolly in having
the great privilege of meeting once
more before the coming of the final
summons. In this group were two
old soldiers who probably are the only
living men absolutely known to have
been shot at by the great confederate
leader, Gen. Forrest. One of these
was Lieut.. William n. Moore, of New
Bethlehem, Pa, and the other was
Joseph j. Murray, of Geneseo, Ill.
They were both mem bers of Company
u. 18th Illinois cavalry. In Noyem-
ber, 1864, when Hood was advancing
with his great army north. small
brigade of cavalry. under command OF
Gen. Horace Capron, was reconnoit-
ering in the vicinity of Waynesboro,
Tenn. When Hood commenced his
advance the little brigade retarded his
progress whenever and wherever it
could, falling back in good order when
too closely pressed. On the evening
of Nov. %, 1864. the lamented Capt.
Hanchett, OF the 10th Illinois cavalry.
who was acting acknowledgement of
the brigade, directed Maj. H. c. Con-
nelly, commanding battalion OF the
14th and 10Th as rear guard, to take a
position and hold the enemy in check
until he returned with orders from
Gen. Capron. Being strongly pressed
by Forests cavalry, Maj. Connolly di-
rected Lieut.. Moore to take 10 men and
communicate with brigade headquar-
tiers for orders. Lieut.. Moore started
off and had not gone far when he saw
in advance of him a squadron OF cav
airy rapidly wheeling into the road he
was on, from the Lawrenceburg road.
In the meantime Capt. Hanchett
Joined Lieut.. Moore and inquired
what cavalry command that was.
Moore could not tell him. Many of
them had on federal uniforms.
Hanchett passed on and entered into
the Jaws of death. He was never
again seen within our lines, but died.
N was murdered, it is claimed, at
Cahaha, Ala, while a prisoner of war
Moore continued to advance. and
when coming up inquired what com
mand that was. For a response he
received shot from the commanding
officer. The ball struck Joseph j..
Murray, who was shorter man than
Moore and riding by his side. Muir
ray, being hit on top of the head, fell
forward, bleeding profusely, but
Moore caught him as he was about to
fall from his horse. held him in place
and escaped with the command.
The man to whom Moore
spoke was none other than Gen. For
rest. who shot at Moore, but hit MUIR
ray. These two old comrades met at
Chicago for the first time in '5 years. -

Gossip's tongue in Jacksonville is
wagging over the sudden disappear
ance of H. j. Byshe, assistant super
intendent of the Central Union
Telephone company, and Miss Flor
ence Ball, an operator employed in
the Office at that place. Mr.. Byshe
was formerly manager fer the COM
pany at Moline. Miss Ball is former
resident of Springfield aud was for
some time employed in the telephone
office there. Miss Ball left Springfield
about year ago, and has since been
employed in the telephone Office st
Jacksonville. About six weeks ago
MIR. Byshe, went from Chicago to
Jacksonville. He soon met Miss Ball
and they became friends. Tuesday
morning Byshe left his wife and
daughter. saying that he was going to
take trip and did not know when he.
would return. Miss Ball left on the
same train, and since then nothing of
the couple has been heard, and it is
believed that they have eloped.5s The
friends of Miss Ball assert, however.
that she is on a vacation. Mrs. Byshe,
together with her pretty 17;year-old
daughter, were much alarmed. and
left Saturday morning for Chicago,
where their relatives reside. Mrs
Byshe stated before she left Jackson
vile that for some time she and her
husband had not been happy, owing
to his relations with Miss Ball. They
quarreled over this matter. and Mrs.
Byshe said that only few days ago
she had revolver and was on the
verge of shooting her husband, when
she was prevented from doing so by
her daughter. Where Mr.. Byshe and.
Miss Ball are at the present time is
not known.
Miss Balls relatives, who reside in
Springfield, say there is nothing in
the story, and that she is taking a
vacation.
