The willett Incident.


IL was an exhibition OF wretched
taste on the part of Representative
Willett of New York when he engaged
I'm a bitter and senseless excoriation
ef President Roosevelt on the floor Of
the House. And it is gratifying to
note that many Democrats as well as
Republicans united to cut short his in
temperate remarks, which were not
apropos of any subject under debate.
Criticisms Of Mr.. Roosevelt as a
public official have been plentiful. No
man In public life in this country las
more freely invited censure for his fl
ciai acts, and when blows cane they
usually found the recipient ready to
receive them, and to return them. But
none Of his political critics or even his
personal enemies up to the time OF the
Willett incident has reflected on the
Presidents family antecedents, which,
fOr all we know. have been wholly hon
prable and beyond reproach.
Representative Willett should have
been muzzIed- If he had sought to
create sympathy for the President he
could not have hit upon a better way.
His attack showed more rancor than
Judgment more bile than common
sense. The Presidents family was not
on trial. Ii the New York speaker had
eliminated those absurd and manifestly
extraneOus personalities from his adj
dress and confined himself to legiti-
mate criticism Of the Presidents off
cial acts, he would have stool unre-
proved by Congress or the country,
Under the circumstances the Willett
outbreak can only be set down as the
staggering diatribe Of a sophomore
politician who sought to gain momen-
tary attention by the audacity Of his
observation-disclosures City Journal.

. Brflliant Northern Soldier.

A Brilliant Northern Soldier.
The war career of Capt. Henry A.
Barnum of Company I, of the 18th New
York Volunteers, afterwards colonel OF
the 149th New York Volunteers, furn-
ishes a story that is weird. At the bat
tie of Malvern Hill, while leading on
his men he was shot and it was sup
posed MORALLY wounded. In the even
ing, when q retreat WAS decided upon.
Gen. Griffin, who was a warm personal
friend Of the major, sent an Ambulance
to bring the major along dead or alive
The surgeons pointed out an uncon-
scious major to the detail as Major
Barnum, and, placing him on stretch
er they put him in the ambulance and
started away. On the road TO Harri
sons Landing the wounded man cied
and was buried as Major Barnum. A
crude wooden monument was placed at
the head Of his grave, giving his name
and rank. When the report Of his
death reached Syracuse, n. Y, his ma
tive place. the friends of Major Bar
mum were greatly grieved Memorial
services were held and Robert McCar-
thy, friend of the major, delivered an
eloquent eulogy. But the real Major
Barnum not only recovered. but was
yet to perform most brilliant service.
Shortly after the retreat Of the Union
troops the wounded man recovered con-
seriousness. The rebels coming up took
him prisoner. He succeeded in getting
exchanged and rejoined his regiment
in time for the battle of Gettysburg
After that engagement he was transfer
red with Gen. Hooker's army to Ten
nessee, and at Lookout Mountain he
covered himself with glory. In q fierce
charge by his regiment a bullet went
clear through his upllfted sword arm,
and split the visor of his cap. but he
and his gallant troops dashed boldly
on and five Of the eleven flags taken
in the battle were captured by them
For his vigorous conduct on this occa-
sion he and Major NJ. f. Bordsley, who
also distinguished himself, were after
ward selected to deliver TO the Adju.
tant General all the flags captured by
the Army of the Cumberland at Look
out Mountain, Chattanooga AMI Mis-
sionary Ridge. Major Barnum was
wounded again at Peach Tree Creek.
When the Union troops had bombarded
the rebels out of Atlanta Major Bar
mum and his men were the first to en-
ter the city. They scaled the parapets
of the outside rebel line and passed to
the fortifications. The camp fires were
still burning, but no soldiers were to
be seen. They crept from eartt work
to earthwork and finally entered the
city just as the sun rose and by its
light revealed to them the forms of
the Confederates. who were retreating
across the marshes on the opposite side
Of thu river.
