Strilxingly interesting stories are told
about this small, grim, nervous, soft
voiced, dashing soldier. Some are matters
of history. The RED Book of Michigan"
tells this story at the generals expense.
1t is an incident connected with the re-
pulse of the Confederates at Strawberry
Plains, August "a 1864. Eight men Of the
Tenth Michigan cavalry had been detail
ed to defend McMilligan's ford on the
Holstan. One of the men disappeared,
leaving seven, and among this number
was a great, husky giant named Griggs,
the farrier of company B.
These seven men actually kept the Con-
federste brigade from crossing the ford
for three hours and a half The fighting
was severe. Finally the big farrier was
badly wounded, and the Confederates, by
swimming the river above and below. sue
ceeded In capturing the whole party
General Wheeler was filled with admira-
ton at their valor. and at once paroled
man to stay and take care Of Griggs
Then he said to the wounded farrier.
"Well, my man, how many men had
you at the ford?'
Seven, SIR" answered Griggs.
my poor fellow, don't you know you
are badly wounded? You had better tell
the truth. You may not live long"
"I'm telling the truth. sir" said the in
dignant soldier. I'VE had only seven
men"
"weH, what did you expect to do?'
asked the general with laugh.
ITO keep you from crossing, sir"
The general was still more amused.
'FWhy didn't you do It?" he asked.
"Well, sir, you see, sir, we did until you
hit me, and that weakened our forces
so much that you were too many for u.s.
General Wheeler, more amused than
ever, inquired of another prisoner, who
happened to be horse farrler too:
"Are all the Tenth Michigan like you
fellows?"
"Oh, no." said the man; I'VE are the
poorest OF the lot. We are mostly horse
farriers and blacl0smiths, and not much
accustomed 10 lighting
General Wheeler has a largely developed
vein of poetry in his composition. Some
of his reports, when he was general of
cavalry in the Confederate army are
unique in this respect. In line of commu-
nication he had captured and burned the
tin-clad gun boats of the Sedelle. In his
report General Wheeler wrote:
alongside the blazing and cracking
transports she became a cinder upon the
waters which only an hour before had
walked so proudly like a thing of life"
His report of his raid on the Sc
quatchie valley in September. 1868, is one
Of the most remarkable war documents
ever published. He wrote:
"As jocund day began to stand tip-toe
on the mountain tops on either side, and
the sunbeams to cast their golden ra-
dance upon the fields of that fertile val
ley, as II to cheer the weary soldiers for
the brilliant achievements before them, a
column of the enemy was encountered,
and no sooner seen than the notes of the
generals bugle sounded the charge, and
each horseman. instinct with new life,
rushed forward to the attack"
Hts escapes from death during the civil
war were almost miraculous. From first
to last he had sixteen horses killed under
him in battle, besides a great number
wounded 4" as he once told General Ma
hone. Thirty-two Of his stan officers were

How Grant cave orders.

Philadelphia Post
'Grant was a great smoker even when
I knew him." says Mr.. Weber, Missouri
neighbor of Grants farming days, but
he wasn't a good talker. When it came
to action, though, he never was at loss.
Mr.. Dent, his father-in-law, owned a fine
specimen of Durham bull. The big animal
was as powerful and as vicious as any
/ have ever seen. He broke through every
fence that was put about him, and the
farmers for miles around suffered ruined
orchards and devastated garden patches.
The animal would go among the trees,
and, dashing from right to left, would
scatter the fruit on the ground for yards
about. One day, after a night in which
the old fellow had been especially annoy
ing, we sent over to the Dent place for aid
Grant rode back with our messenger. The
bull was racing about the fields, terroriz-
ing the neighborhOod. Grant asked two
or three questions as to losses, then he
told some one to get spoke.
Now he said, as If he were directing
a simple task, catch the bull and tie this
in his mouth, bit fashion,
IF any one else had made the sugges-
ton he would have been laughed at, but
Grants direction was taken as COM
mand. He took no part in the proceedings,
but turned his horse about and rode away.
The men went out. caught the animal,
gagged him and turned him loose again.
After a few days of starving he was COM
pletely broken Of his bad habit"

either killed or wounded while riding be-
side him at the front. He was three times
wounded himself. In an engagement near
Nashville, after Bragg's defeat IN 1852,
ing shell, his aid was killed and himself
painfully wounded. He climbed on an
other horse, secured another aid and con-
tinued at the head Of his troops.
The career Of General Wheeler has been
one long romance. He is a West Point
graduate, served in New Mexico as lieu
tenant of cavalry in the regular army,
resigned to enter the Confederate army,
rose to the rank Of senior cavalry general
of its armies, was appointed professor of
philosophy in Louisiana State university,
has been a lawyer and planter and was
a member of congress for fifteen years.
His soldiers never lost a battle while
he was in command. He never gave an
order to Ego forward" but always yelled
in his squeaky little voice. Come on"
When he was in congress he employed as
high as five stenographers to answer cor
respondence and take his speeches. When
he couldn't speak on the floor of the
house, he would get leave to print in
The Record He precipitated a great row
by having half a volume of statistics
printed in the Congressional Record.
One of the stories told about him is
characteristic of the man:
Once during one of his congressional
campaigns he was travelling through a re-
mote corner of Alabama, and overlook a
mail carrier groaning under the weight of
an enormous sack of stuff. He invited the
man to ride beside him.
why don't you have a horse?" asked
the general.
II have had three at different times, -
replied the carrier "but they all died. The
work was too heavy"
You mean that the burdens of the
mails was too great7"
Yes, that's just it. There's a darned
fool of representative from this district
who sends out such a lot of truck that the
mails are loaded all the time. This bag
is full of such stuff-books and seeds and
such"
How much money would buy you a
horse?" asked the general, feeling in his
pocket.
Horses are high now" answered the
carrier. IT couldn't get good one for less
than $780," was the reply.
Fighting Joe" counted out so.
That will buy you a horse he said.
But I'm not darned fool, my good fell
low"
The man gazed at the money and could
not find a word to say before the general
drove of.
When the war with Spain was about to
be declared the question of appointing
Wheeler to a reasonable command was
taken up Dy President MCKINNEY ana MS
friends Among those whose advice was
asked was the late Senator Cushman X.

The question of a live issue for
the coming campaign on the
democratic stump has reached a
crisis in Washington. Congress
is about to adjourn and nothing
has turned up" Some of the
inexperienced democrats of the
senate believed at one time that
they had a fine issue in the al
legged cruelties practiced by the
army on the Filipinos. The
promptness with which the re-
publicans rose to the defense of
the army, but mo- e particularly
the outcry of the American peo-
pie against this indiscriminate
slandering, has clearly shown
the danger of making any fight
on this issue. During the dis
cussion, however, the republican
senators have loaded down the
official record with speeches de-
Tending the army and portraying
the true attitude of the demo
Gratis. These will 60 to the
country and will be read by mil
lions of voters. The tendency is
among the democrats now tc
drop.the army question, but the
damage has been done. The re-
publicans will place the demo
Gratis on the defensive. AS one
democratic representative, who
has been criticising the poor
Judgment of the democratic anti
army senator's, said: How ever

At the state convention last
week the populist party was
swallowed by the democracy,
and the populist who looks for a
peoples party ticket on the ballot
this fall will look in vain. The
party was just past ten years of
age at the time of it's demise, but
even in these few years it had
become senile and useless. In
it's early years the party, like
many of the rest of US started
out in life with high ambitions
and bright prospects. In fact
it's friends at that time knew for
a certainty that it was to be the
party that was to shape the
destiny of the nation, but to-day
they recognize the handwriting
on the wall, and are willing tc
see it play the part of Jonah &c
the democratic whale. The
party has been gradually losing
its identity for years through
fusion with democracy, and now
there is no course left for the
individuals who compose it
but to merge themselves with
either the republican or dem
ocratic party. They will do this
largely in accord with temper
ment and former political ideas.
That is, your truly pessimistic
pop, who sees danger, disaster
and destruction in every cloud
on the political horizon, will
naturally drop into the dem
ocratic camp and continue to
cuss and kick. But the fellow
who still has left something OF
faith and hope, who can face the
future, who would like to have a
hand in sailing the old ship of
state, and who wants to be some
thing more than a barnacle on
the boats keel. will align him
self With the party that does
things.

In his chautauqua address Mr..
Bryan asserted that you can't
shoot goodness into men. This
may be true, too. in a sense, but
the history of the world and of
our own country proves that if
you cant shoot goodness into
men. you sometimes have to
shoot deviltry out ofthem. Our
forefathers did it in the revolu-
ton, and the union army did ii
again in the Cos, when slavery
and secession were shot to the
death. There have always been
peace at any price advocates,
but they have not been the men
who have promoted the worlds
progress nor the advance OF
civilization. There are occasions
when the musket is more potent
than q maxim in creating and
preserving a permanent peace.
