and that the Declaration of Independence
and our Constitution might not become
obsolete rubbish Can pen or tongue ever
tell what he suffered? OF the long
marches: of the lying under fire for weeks
in the trenches; of the hunger, cold, thirst
and heat, of the lonely, perilous hours on
picket; the terrific charges the heliish
lighting, where his comrades were left in
piles.
He was following the stars and tripe

some praise of the boys in blue! He was
one of the nations defenders. He was
lighting for his country. He was earning
the gratitude of coming generations. He
fought at Shiloh anti a bullet wound in
the shoulder laid him low. He spent two
months in hospital and rejoined his regi-
ment in time to fight for months in front
of the heights of Vicksburg. He risked
his life on a score of battlefields. He con-
tracted rheumatism from sleeping on the
steaming, blood-drenched ground. But
his patriotism never faltered.
For all this he received the munificent
salary of thirteen S5-cent dollars per
month, which was finally raised to SIS!
II he had saved all this money till the
''cruel war" was over he might nave had
as much as $500. Just think of it. He
might have got as much for his four
years service as his rich brother re-
ceived for interest, etc, in nearly four
fortnights. Then added to all this munif-
icence and '~paternalism' our government
has given him q pension of $12 per month
ever since 1890. Over six whole years.
Then it follows that the old soldiers PEN

THE PACIFIC CABLE JoR

In a recent report to the State De
partment, Consul General Rublee, at
Hongkong, states that business men in
Hongkong and throughout the far East
take a keen interest in the matter OF
cable communication with the United
States. The excessive rates charged by
the companies now having cables in
operation, says Mr.. Rublee. have been
a source of long continued dissatisfac-
ton in the commercial community. A
long, heavy and, therefore, slow cable,
such as would be required to span the
tremendous deeps and magnificent dis
tances between anchorages in the GEN.
trail Pacific, would hardly supply the
wants of the mercantile houses having
business connections in the far East.
The only route for a cable that could
successfully compete with existing lines
would run through the Alaskan coastal
| archipelago. the Aleutian Islands and
thence to Japan. The shallowness Of
this part of the ocean and the short
reaches from point to point would make
the employment of light cables posi-
bile. This would mean from three to
five times greater speed Of transmits
sion, smaller original cost, lower run
ming expenses and repair bills, and,
consequently, lower rates.
The proposed cable from the United
States across the Pacific, by way of
Honolulu, Guam and Manila, would be
the most expensive in the world-too
| expensive for ordinary use. This, how
ever, is the pet route of the "grafters,'
who for years have been trying TO push
this job through Congress.

into whose body 1t should be injected,
He preferred that mosquitoes should be
infected with the serum and allowed TO
convey the germs to human subjects.
The members Of the board had no psr-
soma; knowledge OF the serum, nor were
they so far convinced as to its virtues
as to be willing to try 1t on themselves.
The offer of $500, however, brought a
swarm of subjects willing to undergo
the test.
1t now remains to fix the blame for
the tragic result in eve of the eight
cases. The Brazilian doctor declares his
serum absolutely harmless. II he is
right. then it's up to the mosquito.
What did the latter do to the fluid after
it was given into his charge to render II

acter.

" II and IA years of age, armed with
an old army saber and a pepper box

of the revolver and made him give up
all his vaIuables. He demurred at frst,
but when five balls were sent whizzing
past his head he gave up his watch n

An accident which is calculated to
make the mounths of lovers of liquid
refreshments water, happened in the
yards here Saturday. In some manner
the bungholes of two imported wine
casks, a number of which were in a
government sealed car, became opened,
and German wine ran out of the car
door like rain water. A government
official from Baltimore was telegraphed
for, arriving Sunday morning to open
the car. He found seven hundred gal
Ions of fine wine wasted. Several
other casks in the car were uninJured.

This young man did not give himself %
his country In the wal of the repeiiloi'
He had $40, 000 in gold, and when govern
ment bonds went down 10 20, he bought
500, 900. Uncle Sam has paid the interest,
Sc, 900 per annum in gold, ever since ana
exempted him from all taxation when,
we will say, Is equal to 2 per cent. more
which makes his yearly pension for IN
vesting in a sure thing $4,000. But
even this is not good enough for TINS
man. Our Uncle Sam therefore gave him
back $50. 900 in national bank notes, every
one of which endorsed BY Uncle Sam.
Thus in addition to his pension Of $1,000
a year in gold, with exemption from taxa
ton, risk, worry, care and labor, he has
enjoyed the use and increment of $1,000
for over thirty years. And besides all
this, this patriotic citizen who is 50
very jealous of the nations honor still
has his bond yielding him six thousand
200-cent dollars every year, and his 100000
bank notes, which yield as much more at
least. Then we find his present worth to
be as follows:
His bond, which is still yielding him
six thousand 200-cent dollars per
year at market value, .sf1S,000
National bank $4,000
Profits bank notes thirty years, es-
tfmated 1oo,V9o
Saved in taxes thirty years.......... 10000
Interest on bond.................... 1SO,0o0
Now we find him worth. ........... SOS, 600
Reader, do you think he has been fully
paid for his kind of patriotism? Or do
you think he deserves still further faVors
for his unspeakable patriotism? If SO. do
you think our present system of finance is
the best the world ever saw?' Are you
willing to have our government make so
much difference between it's rich and poor
citizens? How do you suppose the legis-
lation, the workings and results of which
are here illustrated, was obtained?
