Veterans in Government Employment

Henry NJ. Hutchinson, Elfork, KY,
makes a strong appeal Tor better treat
ment of veterans in regard to public
employment. The leaders of the Re-
publican party say that we are too
old for employment, altho we are not
too old to vote. There are very many
places where fidelity and good, hard
common sense are more necessary than
physical activity, and these should be
filled by men who have had the train
ing of their military service. Among
such places are many in the Revenue
Service, such as additional storekeep-
ers, watchmen, etc. The President
should make an executive order reserv-
ing these places for veterans and ex-
empting them from Civil Service exam
ination.

A Veteran In Honolulu.

J. D. Parsley of Coloma, Mo-, sends
a letter received from John w. Fran
els, of the Esd Mo-, who is now in Hon
olulu, and is full of memories of the
old war times. Comrade Francis went
to Honolulu from St. Louis in 1882,
had charge of a sugar warehouse, and
a good position, but his wife became
dissatisfied. as there was no society.
He then went to Los Angeles, where he
lived for Ia years, and was elected
County Recorder. In 1899 he went back
to Honolulu, where he has lived ever
since, and is one of the deputies in the
Assessor and Collectors Office. He be-
longs to George w. DeLong Post, of
Honolulu, and, while the islands are
wonderfully beautiful, he has an affec-
ton for the mainland of the United
States, and wants to die there. The
Americans are in a woful minority, and
no laboring man has show on account
of the competition with the cheap
Asiatics. A skilled mechanic commands
good wages there.

Lincoln mt City Point.

William ogden, goth N. J., Ness City,
Kan, says that Alonzo p. Lenox, of his
regiment, is only partly correct in his
account as to what Lincoln was doing
on the morning of April 3, 1865. About
10 a. m. and without military escort
the President, with Grant and staff,
halted at brigade headquarters, where he
greeted Gen. John /. Curtis inside of
the. former Confederate breastworks.
Lincoln wished to examine Forts Ma
hone and Davis and the rebel forts and
lines, and went back with the escort,
which consisted of two officers of
Grants staff one orderly and Comrade
Ogden. Comrade Ogden will never for
get his looks and the interest he took,
especially at the close lines of pickets.
He returned from there and then went
on to Petersburg and Richmond.
