rWnten Ezrsssb for The Washington H9aidl
Col Charles Greene was for many years
spoken OF As the Democratic editor Of
New England who was Of the greatest
influence and whose printed words in the
editorial columns OF the Boston Post were
accepted as gospel and as the voice OF
the Democratic party by the great body
of Massachusetts, Democrats and, TO a
considerable extent, by those Of all1Ne
England
Col. Greene was OF what is sometimes
called the "old school" both as man,
a citizen, and as a newspaper proprietor.
In personal appearance. he was tan,
somewhat slender, and when In his news
paper ofices the expression upon his face
was seyere-somewhat hard lines appar"
entity around his lips and upon his fore
head suggesting severity OF habit and
rigid personal discipline.
And yet when not in immediate touch
with his newspaper Col. Greene was OF
most gracious and kindly manner, his
smile was charming and inspired con-
ddence, and no one could laugh more
heartily than he at wholesome joke
or a witticism in which there was no
sting
The colonel worked out for himself
some rather peculiar methods. both OF
editorial and of business management
He was one Of the first to understand
that readers even of a severely digni-
fed newspaper were found of little
fun, and for that reason he caused a
daily column OF bright. humorous, and
witty paragraphs to be prepared for pub
LEGATION upon his editorial page. He was
among the first. II not the very first
OF American editors to do that. In his
business affairs he did not adopt as
sound the adage which runs, Trust all
in all or not at all" for he was disposed
never to give confidence before a thor
ough trial. Years ago / was chatting
with one OF his employees, Potter by
name. who for a long time had charge
of the composing room Of the Boston
Post. He told me this anecdote. which
had come under his own observation,
which, he said. perfectly illustrated
Col Greene's policy as a newspaper pub
Usher:
II was standing one day beside Col.
Greene in the publication ONCE when a
very prominent citizen Of Boston came
in and. taking up a copy Of the edition
for that day Of the Boston Post, said:
Colonel, your carrier did not deliver
my paper this morning. so have called
TO make that neglect good
Instead OF speaking with regret Of the
negligence Of the carrier, Col Greene
said:
- Take one paper II you want TO, or
take two. but / should have liked IL very
much better II instead of putting the
blame upon my carrier. who is as faith
full an employe as I ever had, you had
said TO me that you would like an e1-
ira copy Of the paper
The gentleman flung the newspaper
upon the counter and said:
You can stop my paper. have paid
you in advance and there Is a month or
two to run on the subscription account.

The plan to allow the present session of Congress
to adjourn within the next two weeks instead of
taking earlier ought to meet with the ap-
proval of practically the entire membership, more
especially those from distant States who would have
no opportunity during brief recess to tell their
constituents how they have saved the country by
staying in Washington all summer. The Presidents
letters in behalf of Senators will help their chances
materially but he cannot be expected to engage in

Fifty years ago today a body Of Fed
eraI cavalry raiders. 5000 strong, under
Gen. Stephen G. Brubridge, commanding
the District Of Kentucky, was defeated
in an attempt to destroy Confederate salt
works near Saltyille. in Southwestern
Virginia
The raid was one OF those picturesque
affairs that lent a charm and dash to
the war in the mountains of Virginia
to be found in no other field Of service.
Comparatively small forces were en-
gagged on either side, yet their command
ers were so energetic. and their fields
Of operations so wild and romantic, that
the combats received unusual promi-
nence in the records of the war.

the one hand. Federal incursions
against the salt works, and on the
other hand. Confederate raids into the
fertile regions OF Kentucky, campaign
ing was OF an arduous nature. The Con-
federacy looked to the salt works OF
that territory TO supply the wants OF
her armies, for the many plants on the
coast of the South had been seized by
the Federals.
Knowing the value OF the works. the
FederaIs had made numerous attempts
70 reach and destroy them, but without
success. Toward the end OF September
Gen Burbridge decided TO try his for
tune in that direction. He organized a
force Of cavalry and mounted infantry
and moved from his headquarters at
Lexington, KY, to Prestonburg, on the
Louisa branch OF the Big Sandy River.

Virginia. on the evening of September 30.
They then were scarcely twenty-five miles
from their objective.
However, they had yet to cross the
heights of Church Mountain, whose
passes were carefully guarded by a small
body Of Confederate cavalry under Col
II. L. Giltner. There were in all about
1000 men, a fifth of the Federal strength,
between Burbridge's command and Salt
willie.
Giltner, by superior strategy and hard
fighting. delayed the Federal advance for
two entire days. Laurel Gap was held
