author says In his preface. is told
without malice. but to refuto the slund-
ers made by the pulpit and the press
OF the North that the Confederate gov
eminent was inhuman and cruel TO
| Union prisoners of war In Southern
i prisons. The author goes on to say
; that to-day there Is most abundant
proof that President Jefferson Davis
and General Robert f. Lee did protest
against the violation of the cartel OF
exchange. and did offer, for humanity
, sake, to turn over to tho United States
all the wounded and sick prisoners of
war held In the South, II the United

ports and take tham away. Finally
General Robert f. Lee, In humanitys
namo said: Conc and get all your
prisoners OF war. We cannot feed them,
nor get medicines to keep them in
health All offers to exchange and
send for their prisoners were re-
IeCteu ny secretary STANTON, ON part
Of the United States government. and
this. as everybody knows. was the
cruelty inflicted on the prisoners oil

nor sanctioned by the Confederate gov
ernment.
".rhere was never n Union soldier
prisoner of war in the South placed
undor fire of his own guns by order
of any one. and there is not ono
particle of proof that can show there
was but there is an abundance of proof
to show that wanton cruelty of the
United States to is prisoners at war,
ls64-65. and the above is proof from
their own records.
The chapters of the book begin with
the history OF the Incidents leading up
to the retaliation measures inflicted
upon the 500 Confederate Of

fetal correspondence between General
Foster. of the United States Army. and

Decreasing Number of Fires.

During the past four years the num-
Der of fires in New York City has been
steadily decreasing. Last year there
were over 1000 fewer alarms.
In the matter of fires the old adage
that an ounce Of prevention is better
than pound OF cure applies most aptly.
Nearly all fires are the result of care
lessness or of conditions which might
have been rectifed by some attention.
In this city, fortunately, there are regu-
lations which aim at prevention of fires
regulations which forbid the storage
of infaninable material in cellars, safe
guard the handling of explosive oils,
and provide for rigid inspection.
1t is eminently proper that there
should be a complete and well-managed
FIRE department. 1t is more important
that every precaution should be taken
to prevent the FIRE apparatus from being
called INTO action

Not All Smooth Sailing.

While the Republican party IS beset
with trials and tribulations, the Demo-
crats are also confronted with the fact
tha, their political sea IS not altogether
smooth.
In the FIRST place, their multiplicity Of
candidates demonstrates the divergency
Of view within the Democratic ranks.
Gov Harmon. an avowed aspirant for
the nomination, is bitterly opposed by
Bryan, while al anti-Harmon organi-
zation has been formed in Ohio by
Democrats who regard the governor as
a rcactionary Gov Woodrow Wilson,
who espoused all the latest theories in
government and then wandered of into
r discussion OF the tariff. is accused of
being too radical and visionary Champ
Clark Is having trouble over the dele
CATION from his own State, and Mr.. Un-
derwood falls under the Bryan ban.
Thomas Taggart, Indiana's Democratic
national committeeman, is charged with
knifng Gov Marshall, who hopes to
figure in the convention. and New York
Democrats are so divided over Gov
Dix'S aspirations as to make it sp-
parently impossible for them to unite on
him as. favorite son. And, most i'm
portant OF all. a very large faction of
the party will oppose any one who does
not bear the seal of Bryan's approval.
while another large proportion will IS
heartily antagonize the candidate who
enjoys Bryan's support
Altogether il is a mixed situation in
both parties The meeting of the DEM
ocratic National Committee Is almost
certain to disclose serious differences
between party leaders which. if not
adjusted, may be serious factor in the
campaign; while the Republicans, torn
with dissensions, are admittedly in Sc
rious straits.
