Secretary McAdoo's Difficulties.

The business interests OF the country cannot look
forward to the installation OF the new currency sys-
ten with hall the elation OF the Secretary of the
Treasury. Not only has the Secretary been con-
fronted with very serious problems. but every wild
cat scheme to have the government help Tom Dick
and Harry has been presented to him The Secre-
tarys critics say he has fallen for good deal his
friends say that all he has done has been necessary
In the minds of many the help extended to cotton
tobacco, and naval stores led to the belief that stock
holders in corporations which have been reducing
dividends equally worthy OF help
The issue OF emergency currency worked excel
lently but the Secretary finds that many banks,
especially in the South simply locked up the emer-
gency currency in their vaults. Yesterday the Secre
tary informed that the State of Tennessee is
unable to extend SI-4ooooo short-term notes in New
York. The Secretary was indignant and issued
statement that he himself would see if banks could
not be found to extend the notes. The Secretary in
all probability, will succeed in finding the banks
The Secretary has had to stand the brunt of solv-
ing all the popustc puzzles which have been put up
10 the government by those who need help or think
they need it. There time that the popular
impression was so strong that Washington must be
called upon for everything and be able to fur
nish it. The new currency system will prevent

Dinna, Ye Hear the Pibroch?

Though the English regiments no longer march

dash to death to the skirl OF the pibroch pumped,

no resemblance to music are sacred to the High

Gen. SCOTS Cure for the Cholera.
By DR.. e. J. EDWARDS.
twrilien E1pressly for Tho Hsrald.I


Bailey Davenport, whose father was
practically the founder Of the city of
Davenport, Iowa, in commemoratIon OF
which his name was given to it, heard
his father narrate many anecdotes which
had been told TO him by Black Hawk.
the Indian chief, whose name Identifies
the last great war between the whites
and the Indians In the Mississippi VAL
ley.
my father and Black Hawk were firm
friends" said Mr.. Davenport TO Charles
Z. Hall, now of New York, at one time
OF Rock Island. Black Hawk said at
one time when talking reminiscently:
Your great war chief. Gen. Scott. saw
often. and l remember especially how
careful he was OF his own soldiers at the
time the cholera broke out among his
troops.
"T was being taken as a prisoner to
jefferson Barracks, down the Mississippi
River, when at Rock Island the boat
came to a stop because somebody in a
rowboat was making signs to US. But
the captain Of the steamboat would not
let any one who had been among the
soldiers come aboard the steamboat. be-
cause he was afraid Of cholera.
The man who was in the little boat
was Gen. Scott, and / was very sorry
that the captain would not allow him to
come on the boat. / was near enough TO
him to see him. and ] thought that he
looked very well indeed. l was told
that, although the cholera was among
his soldiers, yet this great war chief
had no fear OF il himself, but went
among his men doing kind things for
the sick and giving comfort TO those
who was dying. He was not afraid to
the cholera.
II heard afterward that cholera had
broken out before the war chief. Gen.
Scott, and his regiment had reached Rock
Island. Perhaps ten or twelve of the
soldiers died. but the war chief was not
afraid OF the disease. / was afterward
told that a friend Of the war chief.
whose name was Col. Berry, visited Gen.
Scott at his headquarters on Rock ISL
and. The day was very hot. and Gen.
Scott said to his visitor that because he
was so hot. and because there was
cholera among his troops h. did not
think II good plan to let his visitors
into the fort Gen. Scott said that the
medicine the doctors had did not cure
the cholera, and he had decided to try
a different remedy. He said that he was
going to give brandy to all OF his SOL
diers. both sick and WELL and after l
got to Jefferson Barracks they told me
that soon after the great war chief be-
gan TO give brandy and water to his
soldiers the cholera was cured and not
any one OF those who did not have the
disease was smi,ten with it"

and rich lands adaptable to every kind of crop and
grazing, has allowed itself to become almost one
crop section on account of the with which cot
ton was grown and marketed. The blow which both
cotton and sugar have received the one from with
out the other from within, is leading the South to
realize that after all the greatest advantage that
could come to it would be diversifying crops and
raising of cattle.
The buy-a-bale movement, it is estimated, will
amount to 100000 bales, which means the putting
into circulation of much ready money The low
price of cotton should tend to increase the manu-
facture of it. introduce uses for it, and bring
about a great increase in cotton mill activity.

LIQUOR MEN SHOULD HEED
HANDWRITING ON THE WALL

Pennsylvania liquor men should heed
the handwriting on the wall, for the YER
dict q Virginia proves that il their III
advised opposition to local option SHALL be
persisted in they must face the alterna-
tive of Statewide prohibition. with its
long train Of evils. In Virginia 1t Is sig
nihcant that the open saloon has been
banished by the vote of the country dis
tricts, the cities almost without exception
having voted against the prohibiticn
cause. The effect will be to effectually
destroy the vital principle Of home rule
and impose upon communities a rI!s of
action not supported by public opinion.
II has been the experience in every pro-
hibition State that premature laws for
bidding the sale OF liquor have led to con-
ditions far worse than before, the most
serious manifestation being open d'sre-
gard of the law which everywhere fellows
prohibition.
Local option. applied by the sanction of
homogeneous communities, is a far better
remedy for the evils of the unrestricted
sale Of liquor than Statewide prohibition
in advance of public opinion TO uphold 1t.
The anti-local optionists are sealing their
own doom and that of any party which
supports them by opposition to tire local
option amendment-E Philadelphia Public

The South to Be HeIped.

The present high price of sugar has proved a
boon TO the planters of Louisiana who at least will
make far more than they expected. The Underwood
tariff act caused them to greatly curtail their pro-
ducton, but the threequarter crop they are growing
helps them out of hole. By next season. owing
to larger crops, which will be raised in Cuba and
Porto Rico, it will be useless for Louisiana to COM
pete in the sugar trade
1t seems obvious that while the Louisiana planter
has been helped beyond his expectations by the war
and hard blow has been struck the cotton planter
yet it all may prove great blessing to the South
as a whole.
In other words, the South with its open climate

Fifty years ago today more than 5000
negroes were assembled in a great CON
traband camp" at City Point, Va. and
were being fed from the stores of Gen.
Grants army.
Many of these blacks worked for their
food. but the bulk were idle wards of
the government The rations provided
for the negroes. whether they worked
or were idle were the same in character,
and usually i'm quantity. as those fur
nished the soldiers.
From the beginning Of the war no
Federal force operating in the slave
holding States had been free from a
liberal following Of blacks. At first this
unsought prOpinquty OF slaves had been
embarrassing. as the law required that
the blacks should he returned to their
masters. and the Federal officers as a
rule had no wish to detain them. Gen.
Is. F. Butler cleared the situation and
established the status OF the negroes by
declaring them ''COntraband Of war
ThencefOrth the negroes considered
themselves legitimate followers Of the
Federal soldiers. They settled the
question Of slavery. so far as they were
concerned. by freeing themselves and fol-
lowing their white protectors.
This process OF emancipation had
gained, headway with the progress of
d
raid through Mississippi early in the
winter of 1864, he was followed on his
return march to NiCksburG by more
than 500 negroes.
Gen. Grant in his march across Vir-
ginia had attracted an even greater
number, and since the arrival OF Grants
army at City Point and before Peters
burg, the whole of Southeastern Virginia
and Northern North Carolina had been
swept clear OF blacks.

could find protection and food. and their

The present reaction against college education is
very different from the old prejudice. far more

education instead of being what claims to be- an
efficient means OF preparing young people to their
abilities and their characters best advantage merely
puts into the mind great deal of useless misleading
or merely decorative knowledge and develops Grip
Pling preudiccs So often one hears college gradu-
ates urge young not to waste valuable years in
college. but TO give those years to practical life.
Remarks OF this kind plainly indicate that there
is something the matter with our higher education
By young people themselves it is regarded as chiefly
valuable through its association. One often hears
them saying that it makes four OF the pleasantest
years in life and friendships and associations
that likely to be OF practical advantage. Unless
it does much more, it hardly justify itself as an
institution. And surely there is no excuse for its
sending into the world those bogies of education that
develop many heartburnings and misconceptions.
