Death for DcscrtiOn.

Editor National Tribune: sometime
ago I inquired as to the origin OF the
law imposing a death penalty for deser-
ton. but failed to get the desired IN,
formation in respect to the exact seed
from which the legislation sprouted;
There is a tradition that it originated
with a band of pirates who swore hdei-
ity to each other and took an oath 10
kin any member of the band who de-
serted and betrayed them. and the RUE
was found so useful that it was 1o!-
lowed by other bands on land and sea
and finally adopted by ambitious Cen
erals and rulers of Christian nations.
McElroy is Endorsed by the boys here,
who are proud of his past, present and
prospective. Forty-eight degrees OF
frost here Wish 1 was in Florida
A. c. Cameron. Brownsville, MINI.
Undoubtedly tradition is correct in
regard TO a band of men who were or
ganiZed for any warlike or criminal
purposes swearing fidelity to each other
and death to those who should desert
them. The death penalty for desertion
has always been a prominent part IN
military codes of every nation. and II
seems to spring from the very neces-
sity OF things in making war.-Editor

Bullet Removed Aft.p As Years.

Samuel G. Ewing, Ashland. o., is
happier now than he has been for
years. He belonged TO the 54th Ohio,
and Aug. 25, while in the works around
Atlanta, he received a bullet which
passed thru his right cheek. He thought
at the time that he had been hit by a
cannon ball, and was in the hospital
for about four weeks. The doctors
probed for the bullet, but were unable
TO find it, and the supposition was thai
the bullet came from his mouth with
his second molar tooth, which was
knocked out. Ever since the war Com.
rade Ewing has suffered from an ag-
gravated case of chronic catarrh. Re-
Gently the physicians made careful
examination. and discovered that the
bullet had lodged in the posterior pari
of the nose, about half an inch below
his eyes. The operation was under.
taken, which lasted two hours, bu
brought away the bullet and gave great
relief to Comrade Ewing, since its pres.
ence had given him many headaches

Died of Hunger.

Certainly there is something mighty
awful wrong in our selfish world
when we come to think that there are
about us people who are hungry and
whom we might feed with little cost to
ourselves, or who are cold and we
make no effort to see that they are
warmed.
A most pitiable case Is reported
from a Boston Post that a veteran OF
the war of the rebellion lives at 69
Northfield street. Rocksbury, where
ne lived for two weeks without food or
fire. II Is said that he was slowly dying
of scleross, or hardening of the ar
teries, which resulted from hunger and
cold He had but single piece of
furniture In his room. and that was a
chair Some of the neighbors heard
a constant tapping of Comrade Null
lens cane as he paced back and for
ward In his Jail trying to keep him
self warm. and when they finally in
vestigated. found him too near the
border line to bring the starved soul
back to life. 1t is said that Comrade
Mullen was a member of John A. An
drew Post, of Boston. He lost his wife
about month ago, and, absolutely
penniless, was too proud to seek help
from friends who would have helped
him, and sold his furniture piece by
piece until only the chair remained.
| 1t does look as though there would
| be humane people enough in every COM
munity to look out for veterans whom
lthey know are without funds, helpless
| and cannot care for themselves.

the Ievying Of an income tax the SCI

until next Thursday.
There was some objection 20 the
resolution regarding the income tax
provision. Senator Bailey held the
view that as the adoption OF the. orig
inal resolution had been the work OF
congress alone, the transmission
should be performed by officials OF
congress and not by the executive
branch of the government. Senator
Sunderland said that the president
should have nothing to do with the
matter at any stage of the proceed

adopted without division.
