 When my wife passed through Wash. ington on her way to Baltimore, she de- termined to go to the White House to make complaint. Her father and Presi- cent Johnson had served in Congress to- gether, and had been friends; so she told Johnson whose daughter and whose wife she was. He refused her She left him and went to see General Grant at the war department. He treated her as cour- teously as if she had been the wife of Union soldier, and then wrote a letter which he gave to her. He did not dictate the letter to a clerk; the whole is in his handwriting. It gave me liberty to travel anywhere unmoIested, as long as I ob- served my parole. I preserve that letter, framed. among my most precious posses sions.
 I once said to General Grant
 General. if you had been a southern man, would you have been in the south ern army?''
 Certainly he replied.
 He always spoke in the frendliest man. ner of his old army comrades who went with the south. Once, speaking of Stone wall Jackson, who was with him at West Point, he said to me:

WOODROW WILSON
SEES A CHANCE

The people, regardless of their
politics. can afford to pay attention
to some of the things Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey is
saying these days. He is uttering
golden truths. Each day his
utterances are becoming more
patriotic and less partisan.
In my opinion" declared Cover
nor Wilson recently at a banquet in
Philadelphia 1.-The immediate future
of this country is to be made by
the young men, and not by our
selves. For we have inveterate
ideas which are clog on progress.
The existing order of things is
going to be changed. The warning
is only fair for those who are in
power, for it is only equitable that
they have time to make their
preparations. 81 have known for
some time that there will be a
change, for | have beel associated

tinu"usly serving notice on me that
they are going to change it.
"But they say this is an age =
radicalism. And may ask what
is raddicalism? An interesting
circumstance about the radicalisn,
of our own time is that it proposes
a restoration.
"The literary theory of GU,
institutions is that we are living
under a representative form OF
government. The fact is we arc
not living un1er representative
form of government. People are
working now, not to destroy but t.
restore representative government
I'VE know what we want, ane
both parties promise to give US
what we want. But the fact is W,
haven't got what we want.
IF we can't get it we will have
the initiative and referendum. L
our representative do no
represent us they will be dispensed
with. We are not thus doing away
with representative government.
We are simply making sure tina
we are going to have Representative
