He Took a Prisoner.

The soldier who knew no difference
between charge" and retreat is the
theme of the latest tale of one of the
solons of Congress. There was a raw
recruit from the West who went into
the army from one Of the Western
States in 1861, says Golfers Weekly
He was a big fellow who measured
81 feet from the sole to crown, and
he left his corn pow in the field be
cause Lincoln wanted him to save the
Union" He was put in the awkward
squad and taught to keep step for a
day. He went back to the colonel and
said, Il didn't come down here to go
hep, hep, hep, under the trees; 1 came
down to wipe out the rebels; want to
fight"
He kept complaining. and one day
an order came to capture a battery out
on the hill few miles away. The re-
cruit was put on the firing line.
Through the grass and the green fields
the men marched, and under the green
trees where the birds sang, and up

table; the order was given, and the
men dropped back down the hill. The
recruit did not understand the order,
but kept going straight ahead Under
the cover Of smoke and guarded by a
Providence that seems sometimes to
guard heroes on such occasions, he
marched up behind gun, grabbed the
gunner and marched down the hill.
Down in a little clump of trees the
colonel was gathering his few men
who were not lying dead on the hill
side. Dumfounded at the appearance
of the recruit and his prisoner, the
colonel called out:

ourbon Of the EXTREMIST type.

Bourbon of the EXTREMIST type.
Fellow voters throughout the coun-
try. look at the monstrosity of such a
proposition! Lincoln and Grant saved
the republic and carried the nation
through all the horrors Of the greatest
civil war recorded in modern history.
Yet Judge Parker, the candidate Of the
Democratic party throughout the Uni
ted States, evinces the extreme parti-
sanship of declaring that the two
Cleveland administrations will favora-
bly, compare with those of Lincoln and
Grant. This speech of Parker's at
Rosemont will kill Parker as surely as
II he were shot with rifle.
Let the memorable words be quoted,
printed and pasted in every hat In the
United States, where the voters may
see and read what Parker has dared
to say OF the greatest and the wisest
men our country has ever produced.
Cleveland was President from 1893
to 1897, and all the industrial forces
Of the land were so broken up that il
was literally four years Of woe and
desolation. 1t was estimated after
Cleveland retired that his administra-
tion cost the business Of the country
full $1,000, 100000; and there were SO
many hundreds of thousands thrown
out Of employment by the Cleveland
Parker policy that such distress among
the people was never before known
since the foundation of the govern.

declares was as worthy Of public conf.

BALTIMORE. Jan. 2s.-Few of the
tales Of shanghaiing and cruelty on
Chesapeake Bay oyster boats, equal that
! told United States District Attorney
Rose by Daniel Maleary. a nineteen
year-old lad. from Shenandoah, Pa. A
part OF the story deals with cruelties,
In which III. Z. Lee, a cook, was a
joint victim. Lee is supposed to have
lost his life in the attempt to escape.
Young Maleary said that early in De-
cember he went to Philadelphia in
search of employment, and fell In with
man who promised him berth on a
sloop on the Chesapeake. with plenty of
plain food and a salsry of SIS per
month. He accepted. and came to Bal
timore, thence TO Hooper's Island by
steamer, where he went aboard the
ilcop-then learning that it was an
oyster dredger.
Robbed of Clothing.
Both newcomers were robbed of their
clothes by the captain, and kept work
ing from g. m. until p. m, INSULT
GENTLY clad. Additional work was
thrown on Lee and Maleary by the de-
sertion of two of the crew. and no
Eieals were allowed between the time
Of going to work and quitting. At last
hunger and illness made Maleary bold
enough to approach the captain and
tell him that he was killing them. His
reply was a blow in the boys face
which felled him to the deck He then
threw him overheard into the bay,
which was filed with broken ice.
Lee tied one end of a rope to the mast
and, taking the other in hts hand, leaped

selves. The moment they reached the
deck he set upon them and beat them
with his fists until he was tired, and
then threw them down the hatchway.
Trip Over Ice.
At 3 o'clock on the morning on Janu-
airy S, the ice being thick enough to bear
them. Maleary and Lee let themselves
down over the side of the sloop and
started for Hooper's Island, a mile
distant. 1t was pitch dark, and the ice
was rough and full of holes and cracks.
They stumbled along for an hour. Dur
ing that time Maleary fell into three air
holes, and Lee had two experiences OF
this same kind Their clothing became
frozen. but still they kept Flooding
along toward the Hooper Light
When nearly there, the half uncon-
scious Maleary discovered that he was
alone. After looking in vain for his
friend, he reached the island In safety.
Maleary's father has sent him money
with which to ciothe himself and pay
his expenses, and urges his son to stay
in Baltimore and prosecute the case to
the bitter end.

NOT RADICALS.

The Press Knickerbocker of Albany,
New York, says:
"In 1896, only section of the coun-
try seemed to have the thought OF
the populists. Today, every state In
the union is considered as the field
of a party which stands for democracy
in everything
That statement is accurate but the
Press Knickerbocker makes mistake
when II says:
when the populists first sprang
into public notice, they undoubtedly
were extremely radical in their views
on many things. But time and re-
verses have chastened them, and to-
day they are upholding principles
which apply to the nation"
The popullsts are advocating exact
ly the same things now they did when
they came into existence as party In
1892. There has been no change. They
were Jeffersonian democrats then and
are Jeffersonian democrats now. The
Press Knickerbocker has been led into
this error by the universal slandering
and Misrepresentation of the populIst
party and It's principles that has been
