In God We Trust.

Editor National Tribune: While ad-
mitting that the Presidents argument
for removing this motto from our coin
seems sound, is it not after all a para
logism? Have we ceased to trust in
God? If so, the omission of the motto
is well-timed. Have we become a pa
gan Nation? Then we might go further
and omit prayer on State occasions,
Thanksgiving proclamations, etc. This
motto on our coins was what distin-
guished us from the Nations of the
earth, and it is significant how closely
the recent financial stringency followed
upon the heels of the, usw unmottoed
coinage. If the restoration of this mot
to were submitted to popular vote,
along with many other questions, there
would be some happy changes very
soon in the affairs of the Nation. To
the hard-pressed son Of toll the few
half-eagles which reach his hand are
not less priced because the motto in
scribed thereon reminds him of his God
and of our Nations trust in Him. The
motto is good. Let us have it back on
our coins.-Elder G. T. Dissette, Co. A,
Hatch's Battery, MINI. Cav, Shannon

ENLISTING THE CHILDREN.
There Should BE General Movement to
Bring Them Into the Memorial Day
Exercisex.

Editor National Tribune: The in
creasing frequency of deaths among
comrades of the G. A. R., falling as they
are like Autumn leaves, must impress
each of us with a realization that We
are rapidly growing old, and that in the
natural order of things-with the in
creasing infirmities of old age. supple
nented by wounds and physical disabil-
tiles resulting from the exposure and
privations of a soldiers life-it will not
be long before the last of us will have
passed away. 1t behooves us, therefore,
to take a look into the future, and be-
fore it is too late consider what is best
10 be done to perpetuate the beautiful
ceremony of decorating the graves of
patriotic lesson to the younger genera
tions of our day and to those yet un-
torn.
With this object in view, and that we
re time to discuss and consider the
/ subject, desire to suggest plan which
to me seems feasible as well as desir-
able
In brief, my idea /. 1t the children
of the country should be educated TO
decorate the graves with flowers on
Memorial Day. and that as long as there
are any old soldiers or sailors left they
should be the children's invited guests.
What would be more appropriate or
in accordance with a more beautiful,
healthy sentiment?
If this were DONE not only would the
custom and ceremony be perpetuatcd
long after the youngest and most robust
of us had passed away, but lesson OF
patriotism and loyalty would be taught
to the children, which could in no other
way be so vividly and indelibly i'm
pressed on their young minds or be so
well calculated to influence and mold
their future characters.
Perhaps the children of all the Sun
day schools, regardless of sect or de-
nomination, could be brought together
in this way on the common basis of love
for the flag. and for those who are
accustomed to celebrate Anniversary
Day it would provide an objective pur
pose which apparently does not ex.
now.
OF course, there are many things to
be taken into consideration in connec
ton with this suggestion. as for in
stance, dividing the County into divi--
sions containing the cemeteries. trans
portation of the children, etc, but these
are matters of detail which / have no
doubt could be readily solved by con-
ference with the school officials and
others.

The Prisoners of War.

George Hollands. First Lieutenant,
Co. b, 101st Pa, Hornell, N. Y. recalls
that the bill to make allowances and
pensions to eX-prisoners of war has
now been before Congress for fully 35
years and seems to have made no prog
ress. This is unaccountable, because
every member of either House with
whom Comrade Holland has talked has
expressed himself strongly favorable TO
the bill and it would seem as If 1t
should have been passed long ago. The
trouble is that there were never enough
of the prisoners of war to make them
selves felt politically, therefore their
prayers have been unheeded and their
petitions relegated to the waste basket.
Comrade Holland was in prison for
eight long months in Andersonville and
Florence, and the paltry sum of 50 a
day, which the present bill offers, woulI
be a small recompense for the service
rendered. The prisoners did a special
service for their country in holding
many thousand Confederates in prison
instead of allowing them to be returned
and placed in front of Grant and Sher-
man

RECENT LITERATURE.

In the May issue of Peoples Maga-
zine-which is 224-page publication
consisting of 1872 pages of fiction and
plays-there is rarely entertaining
story by Avery Abbott, entitled Little
Sister," This is a child-story written
for grown-Ups, and. strange to say, it is
one in which mature readers can really
take delight. 1.-The Heart of a Woman"
the complete novel in the same issue,
is another piece of high-class fiction
offered by Peoples. There are in all
Is short stories, one novel, a theatrical
review department and several pieces
of miscellany in the text portion of this
generous magazine. Peoples sells for
Is cents.
The complete novelette,. an a Far
Country" by Adeline Knapp, which
opens the May number of Smiths Mag
aZine, represents about the strongest
work that this author has ever done. 1t
tells interestingly the love-story of an
American girl who goes to the Philip
pines as a school teacher, and gives in
cidentally a vitally interesting picture.
The article in the same number, The
Story of Delaware" is one which every
woman should persuade her husband to
read. 1t tells of State which fell into
the power of a political boss and which
finally shook itself free from the yoke.
The article on Emma Eames, illustrate

A STRIKING EDITORIAL.
A South Carolina Paper On the Wir
Monument

A South Carolina Paper On the Wirx
Monument.
(From the Anderson, S. c, Daily Mail)
There is one Confederate veteran in
Anderson who gets mad every time he
sees anything in the newspapers about
the movement to erect monument to
Wirz, the Commandant of the Ander-
sonyille Prison.
Talking to the editor of the Daily
Mail yesterday he said: ''WirZ was a
brute in human form, If there ever was
one l was at AndersonviIle on one
occasion, and saw something of his
methods. prisoner was brought in
who had been wounded in the arm.
The wound had not been properly
dressed. and the man was sick from
pain. He had made application to be
sent to the prison hospital. and his
case was referred to Wirz, who came
around to make a personal eXamina-
ton He grabbed the man by the
wounded arm, and gave it wrench
which brought a moan of pain from
the man, seasoned veteran tho he was.
Let me see that arm said WirZ, and
began roughly pulling off the bandages.
He was rough to extreme, and the poor
fellow begged him to be more gentle.
Wirz cursed him in reply. and became
rougher still. He got the bandages off,
he seized 1t over the wound and crush
ed it in his great rough hands, and said
in his broken English and with many
oaths, I'll never let you go into the
hospital for a thing like that. You de-
serve more than you've got. And you
can tell your Uncle Sam about ii if you
ever get back to him.
THE prisoner had a high fever, and
was half dead with the pain from his
wound. He crept back to his quarters
in terror. | don't know what became
of him after that.
Il remarked to a friend who was
standing near, That man Wirz is a
brute
keep quiet said my friend; if
WirZ hears you talking like that he
will have you shot
"WirZ was feared and hated by all
who were at AndersOnville, by the Con-
federate soldiers who were doing guard
duty no less than by the prisoners.
Many of the guards tried to make the
lot of the prisoners easier, but they
were kept from doing so by Wirz. The
man was a disgrace to the Confederacy,
and altho his execution by a court
martial may not have been legal, few
of those who knew him regretted 1t
when they heard of it,
None of the Confederate veterans who
served under WirZ at the Andersonville
Prison have enlisted themselves in the
movement to erect the monument to
him. It is a great pity that other good
people should have been so misguided
as to do so. There are some men and
some things that we can best honor
ourselves by trying to forget.

Monument to Enl,rted Men.

At recent meeting of Phil Sheri-
dan Post. Washington, d. c., Past Com
mander Charles NJ. Robinson offered a
resolution stating that while there were
many memorials in Washington to high
officers of the Army and Navy of all the
wars of the country. there was nothing
to the honor Of the enlisted men of
the Army, Navy and Marine Corps who
had done the fighting. The representa-
tives Of the Department of the Potomac
were requested &c bring this matter
to the attention of the National En-
campment and request suitable action
to repair this omission. The resolution
was unanimously adopted.
