After this position was abandoned by
the southern troops at the end of Sep

works worthy the name and hat their
armament consisted OF two painted
logs and Il stovepipe. Yet with these

Clellan's weeks, when he was
writing to his wife almost daily eX-
pressiOns of surprise that Beauregard
did not attack him. Finally when the
small force OF Confederates at Nun
sons hill and other points roundabout
withdrew Of their W motion their
positions were occupied by the Fed
erals.
An incident at about this time
throws a rather luminous side light on
the situation and reveals something Of
McClellan's military tactics. 1t vas
reported that the ~Confederates We're
again certifying Matthias point, on the
Potomac, and were threatening navi-
cation. To dislodge them a combined
naval and military movement was
planned. Mcclellan agreed to furnish
the troops, and the Potomac lotilla OF
gunboats were to land these. and CO.
operate in the attack. All was made
ready and the boats prepared for the
expedition. But no troops appeared.
Inquiry at army headquarters elected
the information that McClellan's en-
gtneers had reported against the plan
and said it would be fmpract1cable to
land the troops in the name pro-
posed. The navy replied that it as
sumed all responsibility for landing
the troops.
Two Logs and a S%tovepipe.
Another promise was thereupon
made that the land forces would be
ready the next night, and once more
the boats got in position. Again the
troops failed to show up. On a second
inquiry being made the nos satisfac-
ton the naval officers could get was
that Mcclellan opposed the movement,
fearing it would bring on a general
engagement, for which he was not ther
ready. President Lincoln, who mad
urged the taking Of Matthias point.
was chagrined by the incident. but de-
ferred to the wishes of the general.
Navigation in the Potomac was closed.
and the administration came In for
general censure in consequence. The

Potomac fiotilla asked to he transfer

Tom Sterling will gain nothing by
keeping silent on the great issues be-
fore the people. If he is a progress
i've, and we believe he is, he should
face the issue bravely, fearlessly, and
let the people know where he stands.
He can't be a Taft supporter, because
Gamble will get what there is Of that
vote that can swallow his double deal
ing aud t~reachery, and there are
thousands of men who may favor Taft
that won't support Gamble. They
will go to Sterling whether he comes
out for La Toilette or Roosevelt, and
the progressive vote will go to a pro-
gressive candidate.
The people love a fighter.

A street is but a thoroughfare
With houses rising here and there
And creaking signs and swaying doors
And jumbled rows of shops and stores.
A street is but a way that goes
Where no one cares and no one knows
And where folk hurry. straight or bowed
Old, young. commingled in the crowd
A street is bur a narrow place
Where we meet strangers face to face.
Where people babble of the news
What time each one his hope pursues;
One street-another-al the same
Save for the width or kind or name
million streets there are and more
That lie between the house and store.
Yet did we know the folk we see
How different each street would bel

One shuffes past with curses strong,
One strolls all leisurely of gait
As though he babe the world to wait.
Another PUSHES with a grim,
Tense fear upon the face of him.
And women. too-one old and weak.
One bold and one all shy and meek,
And one whose face with rapture beams
Because she walks amid her Dreams:
And little children laugh and call.
Their play-songs echo over all
There goes bridal coach, and there
A hearse creeps with some ones despair.
Why bless us. It is but a street
That mutters of the tramping feet,
place, way, common path
And yet it tells of joy and wrath
And failure. and of happiness.
Of woe, and of some ones success.
