VOLUNTEERS AND REGULARS,
In the Early Days Of the Civil Waz
There Were uany CAanges :.
Made Between Then.

I'm April or May, 1851 said the ma
jor, in the Chicago Inter Ocean, II fell
in with q young fellow named Ander-
son of company A, Sixth Ohio, or the
Guthrie Grays, as the regiment was
called in Cincinnati. He left the COM
'pany early in May, and there was q
rumor in camp to the effect that he
had been given . commission and
transferred to regular regiment.
Thirty"eight years after that met
him in Chicago as Gen. Thomas NJ. An
derson, major general of volunteers
and ,brigadiers general, in, the regular
army.
"About the same time, in 1861, fell
into close companionship with young
man named Guthrie in company c Of
the First Kentucky regiment, which
was organized in or near Cincinnati.
Thirty-eight years later a gentleman
of so1dierly bearing, limping from a
wound received in front of, Santiago,
came into my Office and stated briefly
that he was Maj. Guthrie, of the Fiji
teenth regulars. In 1862 met a young
soldier in one OF the Ohio regiments
who answered to the, name of Corbin.
At the beginning of the -, war with
Spain I met him as an adjutant gener-
al of the United States army. Another
Ohio boy named Chahee, enlisted al .
private in the Sixth regular cavalry in
1851, when he was only 10 years old.
He is now major general commanding
the American troops in China.
Hundreds of volunteers at the time
Of the reorganization of the army in
1866 took service with the regulars.
The reorganization bill of that day
provided for five regiments of artillery,
ten of cavalry, and As of infantry. 1t
was provided that the original vacan-
cies in the grades of the first and Sec
ond lieutenants should be filed by Sc
lection from. among the officers and
soldiers of volunteer cavalry, and two
thirds of the original vacancies in the
higher grades from officers of volun-
teer cavalry and one-third from the
officers of the regular army. In the in
fantry regiments original vacancies in
the grade of first and second lieuten-
ants were to be filled from among the
officers and soldiers of volunteers, and
Of the higher grades, one-half were to
be filed from officers of volunteers and
half from officers of the regular army.
I'm this way several hundred volun-
teer officers were carried into the
regular service, and hundreds of
them are still in the service. Ap-
pointments of another kind were
made. In the early years of the
civil war noncommissioned officers
and even privates in the regular serv-
ice were detached and given commits
sions in the volunteer service. These
came in time to hold commissions in
the regular service. In the reorganiza-
tion act of 1869 and 1870, when the IS
infantry regiments were reduced to

AGE PENSION IN GERMANY.
One Of, the Greatest tAccomplishn nents
Of the Great Iron Chan.
cell0r,

Bismarck, who thought to do some
thing in the name of humanity be-
fore he died, declared in the pre-
amble for his scheme for old-age in
surance in Germany that every man
who had served the state faithfully
throughout his life and fallen VIC
tim to honest poverty in old age
might claim support from the state,
not as charity, but as a right. This
idea has stamped itself upon the law
of the land in Germany already, says
the Boston Globe. Ambassador White
has recently published the more i'm
portant provisions of the German
law for the use Of American students
of sociology, as it relates to what is
known as the disability and old-age
insurance law" which has been
passed by the German parliament.
In the German scheme, which has
been organized with the greatest
care and carefully fortified by stat
ute law, every wage-earner who has
completed his sixteenth year is en-
rolled under compulsory pension
law which insures against disability
in old age and relieves every wage
Garner of the dread of being a
"pauper," while sparing him the ex-
hibition of foolish pride which is so
often seen in the United States. Un-
der this law the laborer has earned
the right to support in old age, no
matter how mercilessly the slin9s
and arrows of outrageous fortune
may assall him.
The details of the organization of
German laborers under the disability
and old-age pension law will be found
chiefly interesting to students of
sociology. It includes all classes
servants, teachers, clerks, secre-
taries, waiting ladies, companions
and persons employed in Offices and
business establishments of all de-
scriptions. All these employments
are classified and graded, and the
scale of assessments is fixed accord
ing to wages and salaries, with every
possible provision to make the law
work smoothly and equitably.' Every
member may pay his assessment in
stamps provided by the government,
which are furnished by the chiefs of
police. The whole system is very in
gsniously contrived, and Of course
being under the patronage of the
government the scheme Is little like
" to fell Of 'fulhlhnEfits promises.

and advised me to 60 to the Springs,
as they could do nothing for me. While
there my attention was called to

Something New Under the Sun"

All Doctors have tried to cure
CATARRH by the use of powders,
acid gases. inhalers and drugs in
paste form. Their powders dry up
the mucuous membranes causing
them to cracl. open and bleed. The
powe rful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away same
membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and
ointments cannot reach the disease.
An old and experienced practitioner
who has for many years made a
close study and speciality of the
Treatment Of CATARRH, has at last
perfected Treatment which when
faithfully used, not only relieves at
once, but permanently cures Ca
TARRH, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and curing
all inflammation. 1t is the only
remedy known to science that actu-
ally reaches the afflicted parts. This
wonderful remedy is known as
"SNUFFLEs the GuaranteedCATARAH
CURE" and is sold at the extremely
low price of One Dollar, each pack
age containing internal and exter-
nal medicine sufficient for full
months treatment and everything
necessary to its perfect use.
"SNUFFLEs" is the only perfect
CATARRH CURE, ever made and is
now recognized as the only safe and
positive cure fnr that annoying and
disgusting disease, 1t cures all in
hammation quickly and permanent
by and is also wonderfully quick to
relic re HAY FEvEr or COLD in the

little burden to the people, and
without which many of our dis
tricts would be crippled for school
facilities, or hopelessly in debt.
About half Of the taxable wealth
of this county is in railroads
These special taxes could be so ad-
iusted as 10 make the railroads
shoulder the burden. The pioneers
of Kootenai county have been
building roads by donation for
years-now let the railroads get in
and dig up their share.
In many school districts, the
railroads pay nine tenths of the
amount raised by special tax. So
it would be with the road tax.
There is one district now adjoining
Boomers Ferry where if ten mill
special road tax were levied would
produce revenue of approximately
$500, of which the railroad would
contribute not less than 1880.
Where the special tax would prove
burden to the people, the CON-
missioners could use their discre-
ton and leave such districts out.
There is only one feature of the
law, if its features are correctly set
forth in the address, that does not
commend itself to the HERALD.
The option of making the levy
should rest with the people and not
with the commissioners like the
school law. But Notwithstanding
this feature, we believe the law will
commend itself to the taxpayers.

Wheat, Election and Calamity.

The Fusion organs have had
more or less to say this fall about
the price OF wheat, and have used
that subject as a text for all kinds
of Populistic walls. One crazy
sheet even worked itself up into
such a paroxysm of calamity as to
make the astounding assertion that
times were no better now than in
lS96-the last year of that awful
period Of Cleveland rule, when the
mills were idle and the markets
were stagnant, when 100000 la
borers were out of employment, and
soup houses alone hourished. The
most impressive answer that could
be given-if indeed such hypocrit-
zeal assertions should be dignlfied
with an answers to be found in
the returns from the elections last
Tuesday Elections were held in
a number of the great wheat pro-
ducing states, including Ohio, Iowa
Kansas and Nebraska, the latter
Bryan's own state. The issue was,
"Let well-enough alone" and the
verdict was so emphatic for Repub-
lican Prosperity that it ought tC
silence the widest calamity bowler
in the land.

Special Road Taxes.

The HERALD this week repub-
fishes the address of the Board of
County Commissioners to the tax
payers of the county on the road
question. Our Object in doing so
is to especially commend it to the
consideration CT taxpayers who may
be interested in new roads, or i'm
proving those we have already.
In the judgment of the HERALD
the proposition to raise additional
road funds By special tax in certain
districts is away yonder the best
solution to the road problem that
has Yet appeared. 1t is practically
parallel t" the Special School Tax

An Address to taxpayers.

RATHDRUM, Idaho, Oct. SOTO
the taxpayers of Kootenai County:
rhe Board of County Commission
ers realizing the urgent necessity of
providing mole ard better roads in
our growing county have under dis
cussion ways and means whereby
we may OBTAIN that end.
There is a law in our state au-
thorizlng the Board of County Com
missioners to levy a special tax not
to exceed ten mills on the dollars
to be used in each road district;
when it is raised this tax is to the
roads what the special tax is to the
schools; is collected the same as
other taxes and can be paid in work
or cash. This tax if properly ex-
pended would in very short term
of years Put our roads in good con-
dition, without which we cannot
ex pect 10 become what nature in
tended US to be, one of the fore
most counties III our state. The
large immigration in the past year
has made such demands on our
road fund that we are unable TO
meet only the most urgent ones
and are beseiged with requests for
more and better roads, and in the
jud gment of your Board this is
the proper course to pursue; it will
pla the burden OF taxation where
1t rightfully belongs. We might say
in this connection that all incor-
pOl ated cities and towns are ex-
empt from this TAX. This would
enable your Commissioners to as
sist the weaker districts out of the
general road fund and the richer or
more favored ones would be pro-
vided for by their special tax fund
In this connection we would
further say in the judgment of you1
Board that all Toll Ferries in oul
county should be bought and conf
verified into Free Ferries as the mos
of our county is already provides
with free ferries and bridges, th|
expense of which is born by a
alike. The communities wher
toll ferries exist are bearing NOR
of the burden of bridge tax tina
their just share.
We would respectfully invite di
cussion on this subject,
Most respectfully submitted,

The result of the recent elections
show continuous growth of Re-
publican sentiment. The result is
most gratifying, considering that
this is an off year when it is rule
of politics that the elections usually
60 against the party in power. The
great majorities in New York, Ohio,
Iowa and in New England are
phenomenal, while the majorities in
Kansas and Nebraska are signii-
cant. That few southern states,
the least progressive in the Union,
should show preference for Dem
ocracy, should not be wondered at,
as popular government has almost
ceased to exist in those states, Cw-
