A few years after their marriage Mr..

east, Pennsylvania, where he served as
town clerk and in several other public
offices. Their three oldest children
died, two being buried in one
grave, during an epidemic of diph-
iberia that swept the town.

volunteers, Co. c. He was in the bat
ties of Antietam and Fredericksburg,
where he was wounded Dec. IA, 1862.
The bullet destroyed the right eye and
he was left for dead on the battle
field.
The squad of soldiers later detailed
to bury the dead reached him and were
about to throw him into the trench,
when one of the soldiers thought he
detected signs of life, and he was
thrown into an ambulance instead and
taken to the Judiciary Square hospital
in Washington where he lay at the
point of death for weeks. In April,
1863, he recovered sufficiently to be
discharged and returned to his home in
Pennsylvania, but the wound has never
healed The brave old soldier has
borne the suffering through the so
years that have elapsed with the same
courage with which he faced the rebel
bullets in 90.

Dissolution, it will be remembered is
one of the demands of the Unionists
before the passing of the Home Rule

lists and Laborites are just as alert and
with Premier Asquith at their head,
feel pretty confident of encompassing
any Unionist designs.
There is, however, also some danger
for the Unionists in the debate The
modification of the policy of tariff re-
form, endorsed by Bonar Law, by
which food taxes are dropped, has
not met with entire satisfaction in the
party. The farmers, largely Unionists,
are asking why they should be de-
prived of that protection which they
were told Tariff Reform would give
them, while the manufacturers receive
it. Unionist members for agricultural
districts have been inundated with
protests and it is probable that some
strong tariff reformer will move an
amendment that will bring the question
up. Then Austin Chamberlain and
other tariff reform stalwarts would
come out in support of the whole poll
cy, which would be practical throw
ing over of Bonar Law, Walter Long
and other Unionist leaders, who in the
words of one of their own supporters,
have thrown over the party's chief
platform for fear of the effect of food
taxes on the workingmen.

CANAL TOLLS AN
UNKNOWN PLANK.
Injected in the Democratic
Platform without Know
ledge of Majority of heso-
buttons Com. Declaration
In Fight Started by Viii
son Against Provision.

Washington, Feb. THE provision
favoring free passage for American
ships through the Panama canal was
injected into the Democratic platform
without the knowledge of the ma or-
ity of the resolutions committee at the
Baltimore convention, according to the
assertion Saturday of Representative
Adamson of Georgia, chairman of the
interstate and foreign commerce COM
mittee. He had met but three or four
members of the convention, he said,
who knew of the existence of the tolls
plank before the platform was promul
gated.
Aim at Repeater.
Branding the toll exemption provi-
sion as hereto doctrine" Adamson is
sued a statement Saturday paving the
way for Congressional debate on a re.
pealing bill, to be introduced in ac-
cordance with the determination of
President Wilson that the United
States should recognize the claim OF
Great Britain that exemption for
American ships is in violation of the
-Pauncefote treaty.

repeal provision in the Senate, and

vas done, it was stated today, with
out the consent of a majority of the
full committee or Secretary of State
Bryan, chairman.
II am not at all troubled about the
cry" and Representative Adamson,
that repeating the exemption violates
the Democratic platform. A subsidy is
not a cardinal doctrine of the Demo-
cratic party.
Calls Exemption Void.
In fact, that exemption is a contra
dictory intersection into an anti-sub-
sidy plank in the platform and is ut
terly void. The method of its inser-
ton in the platform is generally I'M
derstood among well-informed people.
Under a general idea of approving
what a Democratic Congress had done,
certain members of the House ana
Senate. who were on that committee,
were permitted to interject that here
teal provision on the idea that they
were asserting approval of what Dem
oerats in Congress had done, when in
fact majority of more than two DEM
ocrats in the House voted against the
exemption.
Before honest, unfiinching Demo-
Gratis can be bound by subsidy pro-
vision, it ought to be shown that the
members of the convention knew II
was in there and that the members at
least understood and approved 1t. L
never have seen member of that con-
vention, outside of two or three gen
tlemen who knew it was in there be-
fore it was promulgated, and | am in
formed that a large majority of plat
form committee were opposed to the
exemption"

DON'T GO TO CANADA
All Sections Similar and None
Equal to Colorado

A warning to Colorado farmers
who contemplate taking up the
land which is offered by the Can
adian Pacific railroad in the
Bussano district of Alberta, is
contained in a letter issued by
the Gleichen Union of the United
Farmers of Alberta. The letter
states that a careful Investigation
will show that the irrigation in
the district named is not feasible.
w. D. Trego, secretary of the
union, recites experiences of
farmers who have taken up land
under similar condition in his dis
trict. He asserts that efforts to
bring about an adjustment with
the railroad and the Canadian
government have been unavail-
ing.
The writer states that the
country in question is all right
for stock raising and dry farming
but that irrigation is impossible.
This is due, he says, to climatic
conditions.
AS proof that his statements
are true Trego makes the state
ment that improved land in his
district, which adjoins the Buss-
ano project, can be purchased at a
lower price than that asked by
the Canadian Pacific for the raw
Bussano land. i
In the last six years 61S,OOO
Americans went to Canada, but in
the same period $4,000 people
came from Canada to the United
States, leaving Canada only $4,000

came to the United States probably
more than half were Americans
who had been lu1ed by cheap lands,
but had become discouraged by
the long, cold winters and short
summers. Last year 1900 Ameri-
cans returned for this reason.-Na
