Monopoly in the Hudson Bay Company.
(Succpcc

In the old days the Hudson Bay Com
pany had q charter monopoly on all trade
in the north. The charter was good for
200 years, and expired in 1870. Since
that time the company has stood on the
same legal footing as any business firm.
Technically, anybody has the right to visit
any part of Canada, anH trade with any
IEdian who may have fur to sell. In re-
ality the company's monopoly-in the
backwoods-is as ironclad as ever. 1t re-
tains the monopoly merely because it con-
trolls the food supply. All it has to do
is TO withhold food. Its rivals must leave
the country, and the disloyal trapper who
has sold him furs has also to seek new
hunting grounds beyond the limits of the
cOHpany's power.
Until there arises a trade rival suffi-
ciently powerful to establish complete
system of supply posts, and method of
furnishing them, in close enough proximity
to permit the easy passage of its trappers
from one post to another, the Hudson Bay
Company will remain absolute master of
it's vast territories. The American Fur
Company and the Hudson Bay Company
for many years carried on bitter. relent
less war in the depths of the wilderness.
Forts were established, taken and retaken;
trappers were waylaid and murdered; sew
eral pitched battles were fought. But the
Hudson Bay Company finally won, and
has lived without rival ever since.

Pensions Should Not Be Reduced.

tlrOy tfd.D bdZetle.)
Several exchanges speak of the fact
that high tide in pensions has been reached
and that there will be n decrease in this
item of the Governments budget from
year to year. 1t may well be doubted
whether this fact is one for congratula-
ton. 1t is inevitable that the pension roll
shall diminish as the veterans pass away;
but that cause alone should not operate to
decrease the pension appropriation. Prob
ably no other factor has done more to
steady up the country and tide over hard
times successfully than the distribution of
pension money. The larger part of it has
helped worthy soldiers to pay their debts
and live above want and destitution This
generation knows the war of the rebel
lion only as history. The younger people
can never appreciate what was accom-
plshed by the boys in blue as those can
who lived when the civil war occurred.
They cannot be expected to sympathiZe
with the veterans as those do who have
personal knowledge of what that war was
as well as what it meant. 1t must not be
forgotten, however that it was the cul-
mination of the great struggle for human
rights that had been waged for centuries.
The soldiers of that war have the post
Of honor in history. Their fame will
brighten as the years come and go, and
men Will some day regret that any fair
reward was withheld from them. Posi-
bly, some pensions are too high, but thou
sands more are too low or wanting alto
gether. Occasionally, too, some veteran
draws large pension and fails to pay his
honest bills. Such a one does his COM
rades great injury; for people are too
ready to apply the unfair adage, "from
one judge all" So far as intelligent opin-
ion goes, the soldiers have done their duty
well as citizens. They are among the
best in every community. They should
be pensioned to the full extent of their
deserts and honored in all just ways. 1t
is to be hoped that the pension appropria-
tion will be kept up till substantial justice
reaches every case of a deserving soldier.
Better that some should daw too much
than that one should draw too little Their
widows and orphans should also be the
wards of the Nation till the last one is
cared for properly and they are able to
live by .heir own efforts. This is n great
country, Let its treatment of its vet
Grams be a conspicuous proof of its JUS
tice and gratitude

"After failing to carry the works we

for more than an hour, replying as effect

BRECKINRIDGE EXPOSES HIMSELF.
'COl. Crittenden had pressed his slight
line and Pages guns close to the front
Of the gap during our attack and did ex-
cellent service. The attack in the rear,
however, was not made in time, and al
most the entire Federal force was con-
centrated on the right, and this and the
strength of the position was some excuse
for our failure to take it. Gen. Breckin-
ridge exposed himself in a manner that
STRANGE of the men, and it is a matter of
wonder that he escaped unhurt. He spoke
in high terms of the conduct of the men
who pressed the attack, although much
disappointed at its failure, and especially
commended Col. Wards cool, unfiinching
and determined bravery. The latter Of

good fighters and our loss was heavy.
After our retreat, which was not
pressed by the enemy, Col. Crittenden was
in a precariOus situation. 1t was neces-
sary that he also should withdraw, and
as he did so he was exposed for more
than half mile to the Federal artillery,
six guns being opened upon him. The
chief aim seemed to be to blow up Pages

BfESsICK IN ADVANCE.

Dukes advance guard, 20 picked men,
commanded by the intrepid Capt. Mes
sick, marching 10 miles ahead of the col
umn, ran into an encampment of the en-
emy q short distance beyond Rheatowu.
Messick took q position about 400 yards
from the encampment and awaited the
movements of the Federals. The enemy
came out and for a time fired at long
range. Suspecting that the Federais were
manEvering to surround him, Messick
slowly withdrew, his pace being accele-
rated, however, when the enemy followed,
battalion continuing the pursuit several
miles. Although closely pressed, Mes
sick's little band repeatedly turned and
fought, sometimes dismounting to fire
more accurately, and at times even tenn
porarily checked their pursuers. Before
the column came to his relief Messick had
exhausted his ammunition, only one of his
men being wounded and none captured.
When Duke dashed up with his charging
column the enemy abandoned the chase
and retired.
Duke continued his march, passing
through the enemy's deserted camp, and
through Greenyille the next morning, and
once more to Lick Greek, which he
reached about 4 D. m. The Federals
were seen on the farther side, but made
no attempt, as ON the former occasion, to
dispute Dukes passage of the bridge.
Evidently they were retiring to their
stronghold Bulls Gap, where they would
defiantly oppose any further advance of
the Confederates. However, when Duke
arrived at a point a mile or mile and a
half in front of the gap he found his fur
ther progress opposed by the enemy, prob

were the hungriest lot of troops ever

We remained at New Orleans two days,
when we received orders to go aboard
the steamer Josephine and sailed for Mo-
bile Bay, Aug. Z, 1864. We sighted Fort
Morgan on the 9th and were treated to
n fine display of fireworks by the rebs at
the fort. They set all their commissary
buildings outside the fort on fire. which
made tremendous confiagration. We
steamed in toward Fort Gaines and within
range of Fort Morgan, where our steamer
struck bottom and went fast We were
in trap. Fort Morgan fired at us two

A zinc mine of great richness has been

Last Summer farmers boy with his

''He took them TO town and it was dis

THE COMING OF THE MONITOR.
BY E. L. ALLEN, OTTAWA, KAN.

BY E. L. ALLEN, OTTAWA, KAN.
The iron monsters work was done
That day. and wars red hand
Had sent dread CONSERVATION wide,
Afar DER sea and land.
Deep darkness settled DER the sea,
Save for the lurid light
Shed by the Congress, ship of war,
Throughout the gloomy night.
The Cumberland had tried In vain
To pierce the monsters side;
Yet nobly fought on to the last,
Then sank beneath the tide.
From out of Norfolk's port that day
This ruthless monster came
With iron back and iron beak-
That brought on us this shame.
She crushed our good ship like a she'll
And sank her meath the flood,
Then on the other blew her breath
Which bathed her decks with blood.
With darkness back to port she turned
With grim, defiant joy,
And promise on the coming day
Our navy she'd destroy.
A gloom was. DER our troubled hearts
Deep as the shades Of night;
We thought upon our ruined ships.
Their vain but gallant fight.
The Congress flames ascended high,
llluming sea and shore;
We knew the past with bleeding hearts,
But not what was before.
No sleep came to our aching eyes;
Our thoughts were on the morrow,
Our minds bewildered, full of doubt,
Oar hearts Overwhelmed with sorrow.
We said She'll raise our strong blockade,
And open every port,
Destroy our commerce on the main,
Reduce each Northern fort,
"And all along our northern coast
She'll harass and annoy,
And our great cities by the sea
VIII capture or destroy"
Twas in that dark and gloomy hour,
When hearts were all dismayed,
A little craft came steamiDg In,
And promised us her aid.
We sneered askant; the little thing
Did just a ''cheesebox" seem
But little larger-fred up,
AND run by smoke and steam!
To our amaze when morning came
And with 1t came the foe
This little craft steamed boldly out
And gave her blow for blow!
The booming roar of mighty guns
Re-echOed DER the bay;
The rasp Of steel, the crash Of shot
ReSounded through the day.
Her thunderbolts the monster struck.
Which rent her iron hide
She our contempt changed to respect
And humbled Southern pride.
For as We gaZed upon the fight
Till dusk Of day began
This Southern bOaster stood no more
But turned from her and ranl
"Hurray for the little Monitor!
A tiger, three times threei
And for her gallant little crew
That's gained the yictory!'
She saved our good ships from the foe.
And drove the rebel hOmei
She gave the fight to Uncle Sam
Which rang the monsters doom!
A cheer, now. too, for Ericsson;
Whose mighty brain and hand
Did build the little craft so well
She saved the fatherland-
We thanked the Lord for his good care,
In bringing from the sea
The little craft in nick of time
To win the victory.
We dropped tear for the noble dead
Those loyal tars so true
OF our good ship the Cumberland,
And of the Congress, too.
So long as Time will roll his round
Wen ne'er forget the way
The little "cheesebOx'' fought the fight
In Hampton Roads that day.
Though now her iron bones are laid
Beneath the oceans tide,
Wen e'er recall her honored name
With patriotic pride.
In another place in this issue our readers
ill notice that we offer magnificent pic
ire of this historic contested.

Seven years ago the State Of Illinois granted
