WHY THEY DO NOT WRITE.
A Name Comrade Believes That Fear of Con-
tradiction Prevents Veterans From Telling
THAR Experieuces

Name comrade Believes That Fear of Con-
Their Experiences.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Every
comrade who takes The Tribune and reads
il, cannot fail from time to time to see
something in its columns that, if not a
description of some action In which he
participated, is yet so closely descriptive
of such that it revives in memory some eX-
perience long since forgotten, and he pro-
ceeds to write it out as he saw it and IN
derStood it at the time. He sends his
article to The Tribune for publication, and
the editor, correcting mistakes in spelling
and grammar, publishes the same, and in
the course of a few weeks some comrade
prepares an article criticising the first,
and giving in many respects an altogether
different account of the affair.
Now, the first comrade wrote as he saw
it, and the second did likewise, and both,
| doubt not, were honest in their state
ments, and as nearly correct as two pri-
Yates could be expected to be; for unless
side by side, so that they could see alike,
/ doubt if two comrades could be found in
one regiment that would report any move
ment just alike.
Why, even in everyday life, with no
battle smoke to obscure their view, men
do not all agree, and have never done so.
l have case in mind now, where four
men were present when a serious acci-
dent happened, and each one made re
port, and no two reports agreed. also
have in mind another case, where n COM
rade some years ago wrote out for publ
cation short sketch of his army life, the
article was printed, and but short time
elapsed before red-hot criticism appeared
contradcting nearly the entire sketch. No
wonder the comrade did not care to write
again. l learned some two years later
that this self-constituted reviewer was

Heart
Beats

that are too fast or too slow,
too strong Or too weak, are not
the kind that come from a
healthy heart. Remember,
every heart that pains, fiutters,
palpitates, skips beats, and
every heart that causes fainting
spells, shortness of breath or
smothcring, is weak or diseased,
and cannot keep the blood cir
culating at its normal rate.
MY heart was very weak and
kept skipping beats until it
missed from one to three beats a
minute. Well knowing what
the result would be if this trouble
was not stopped, l began taking
Dr. Miles Heart Cure, and two
bottles brought the heart action
to its normal condition"

THE 47TH ILL. AT CoRINTH.

Silas Staples, Co. II, 47th ILL.,, Logan,
Kan, writes: Il have read the account
given by Comrade Dennis, of Co. NJ, 18th
Ill. Cav, Fcrndalc, Cal, of the battle of
Corinth, Miss, of Oct. 3 and 4. He failed
to mention the 47th ILL.,, which was in both
days fighting, and also was in the chase
the next day. Now, all we want to do is
to locate the 47th ILL.,, when Fort Robinett
was charged. The 47th Ill. was placed in
position with the left in front of Fort Will
Jams, under the brow of hill, so we
could not see what was going on in our
front, but the guns of Fort Williams gave
us a hint that the rebels were coming, and
we looked for them to come our way, but
suddenly, Attention." rang out on the
right. Breaking at center, the right
moved forward, and soon we were in ac-
ton defending Fort Robinett, while the
left lay on the ground, that Fort Williams
might have a clear field. Comrade Den

The burning Of the negro AleXan-
der at Leavenworth was perhaps the
most flemish and brutal thing that has
occurred In this State. We say this
not from sympathy for the victim but
from the fact Of the brutaIizing effects
that all such inhuman exhibitions
have upon all who participate or even
witness them. 1t 10 said that a lion
may be raised about the house as tame
and harmless as u kitten until he gets
Il taste of human blood, Then hia ap-
petite is never satisfied. 1t seems that
man Ia much the same. The mob was
not satisfied with the burning one mig
ger but wanted another against whom
there were charges that he had in
suited women. Perhaps the crime was
as much OF an incentive to mob vio-
lence as 1t could be. The fact remains
that such inhumanty does not stop
such crimes, Two crimes never can
Gel each other, This may result in the
enactment of law for the restoration
of capital punishment. 1t should not.
There is more such mob violence in the
States having capital punishment than
in those that do not There is one
thing significant however, that the
crime of burning negroes is not con
fined to the South. People are about
the same North and South, The per.
petration Of the same crimes arouse
the same terrible demand for blood
and revenge among both peoples
Whether it should is another question.
