Knight Erraut of Tariff Reform.

Whether Mr.. Bryan talks about
the Tariff or keeps quiet on that
matter the record is made, and if
things so turn as to make him
again the Democratic presidential
nominee the country must once
more face squarely the determi-
nation by the Democratic party
to overturn the existing economic
advantages in the form of the
marvellous industrial develop
meut of the county, the unpar-
alleled growth of our foreign
trade and the general prosperity
of the people. In all probability
the fight will turn chiefly on that
issue in any event, but it will be
additionally fierce with Mr..
Bryan as the Democratic stand
ard bearer, for in his party's
frantic efforts to have the country
forget his cheap currency cham
pionships it will redouble its zeal
to prove him a knight Grant OF

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

Two weeks ago the REPUBLICAN
published an item to the effect
that 1.-The officials of the pension
Office think they have discovered
in Lyston d. Howe, of Streator,
Ill.,, the youngest volunteer of
the civil war. He enlisted in
1861, when only ten years and
nine months DID,"
To this statement Comrade j.
]. Douglas of Galloway, takes
exceptions and writes as followsi
Nov, this question was
argued pro and con in the Chi
cago Inter Ocean a few years
ago, and l think, was finally
decided in favor of my friend,
Gilbert VanZandt, of my neigh
borhood in Ohio, and as | was
acquainted with Glib" as he
was called, l write this in his
defense, thinkink it may be of
interest to some, and especially
to the old soldiers. He was ten
years, seven months and sixteen
days old when he enlisted August
9th, 1862, in Co. ID, 10Th Ohio
Volunteers, in the little village
of Port William, Clinton county,
Ohio. He enlisted as drummer
boy. His discharge at the close
of the war describes him as "a
soldier Is years old and four feet
Hight" He has documentary
proofs to show his age, the time
of his enlistment and dischar &c,
and interesting letters that tell
what he did as a soldier. He is
now living with his widowed
mother in Kansas City, and is a
member of the Faragut-Thomas
Post G.. A. h. of that place. He
still has the old battered drum
he carried when he enlisted. He
also has an old sword that was
given him while in the army.
He served as dispatch carrier in
the Atlantic campaign from At
lanta to the sea, winding up at
Washington. He was in all the
engagements his division fought
in. He was in the grand parade
in Washington at the close of
the war and there he met Andrew
Johnson, president of the United
States. He was riding beauti-
full pony he captured in Georgia
and as all such property belonged
to the government, he was sup
posed to give the pony up, but
says he went personally to. the
president to ask to be allowed to
.etain it. He took an interest
in the boy and asked him many
| questions, and wanted to. know
which he cared more for, the
pony or a commission. He said
the pony, and it was given him,
with transportation for it to his
home in Ohio. He kept it till
it died, which was several years
| after the war"

serve that time, for he was draw
ing his salary as Senator. The
law provides that a Congressman
shall be paid from the time his
predecessors resignation was
made, and thus Representative
Pollard is clearly entitled to the
money. However, the fact that
he accepted the cash without
having actually earned it was
used against him in the cam
paign, but Immediately after
election he returned the money
in order to convince the voters of
his good intentions. But what
is the government going to do
with the money? The problem
is turning gray the hair of GER
tain government officials and
officers of the House of Repre-
Sentatives.
