When the Midler ltft his happy fire­ side and shouldered his musket In de­ fense of his country, Ihe Government thai asked him to serve consented to pension him In ease of disability hon­ orably Incurred In that service, or. In the event of his death, to provide for his widow and orphans. How has that covenant been kept? The answer wlII come from many a suffering household. It was the pracUoe or the Govern­ ment daring the late war to tnske as few exchanges of prisoners as possible, the loss of oieo being a more serious blow to the Confederate than to the Union arjay, aud go it came about thai our soldiers were left to waste tway in Southern orison-pens while the caotur- ed rebels were well fed and clothed At tills late day It Is unnecessary to rehearse tht horrors ot Llbby and An* dtsrsonvllle; they have passed Into history^ but the Introduction in the House of a bill providiug for the pen­ sioning ot those who were confined In rebel prisons reminds us that they have t strong claim upon the Governing pi for special aid. Their sufferings were unduly heightened and prolonged by the war policy of the time, and what tbsy experienced falls scatcely short of martyrdom. Aa Kxehange of OonspllnasatO. During a temporary lull in the con­ flict attending the rebel attsek on Franklin, Tennessee, General Forrest, who had seen one of Llnutentm tlopKlnH's white signal flags working, an J thinking that it was a signal ol weakness, sent a flag of truoe to Colo, nel Bird. The flag was borne by what seemed to be an extremely courteous young rebel officer, whose first benign salutation was, "Ah, you ve surrender­ ed, have you, you!" Colonel Bird's officer, uudor the Ibfluenoe 01 passion, thus provoked, with more it - gard for strength thau piety or blaod- neM in his reply, responded, "Not much, you---- fool!" The confer­ ence ended suddenly, and warlike prep eratlons were at onoe resumed. After the Battle, The day alter the battle (April 8) I saw the awful work of one shell. Six or eight Oonfedeiates were torn to pieces. Some bad a head off, auother hie arms, onJe the lower limbs and one the whole viscera torn out. There was one youog, lalr-iiaired youth whose chest wee laid open. His silk under­ shirt aud well fitting boots indicated that he was the scion ol some wealthy lamily. His features showed no traces of pain. He must have died in less than a minute. The sight was sickening; but It was war, and there's nothing 01. earth to be compared to it--civil war. the wont of all. We lay there all the night alternating from "the muddy side to the rainy one," and from the latter<to the former, as the demands of nature required, awaiting the dawn of morning, confident that the arrival o' Buel would repair the impaired for­ tunes of the flr^t day of the battle ol ahiloh, pluck victory from the jaws ol defeat and send the glad tldlnirs throughout the land that once again the nerve and pluck of the North was to win,--Gapt.

I think our '1 overnment has acted with astonishing liberality toward its soldiers. Why. our pension payments are 60 or 70 million dollars a year. It Is simply monstrous. Bleeding the Treasury to fatten a lot of cormo­ rants." "Well you will admit, as a starter, will you not, that the country owe* something to the men who saved it?" "It may owe something, but no such an enormous su n as Is being drained out ol the Treasury for these pension paupers. "You certainly will confess that it It had not been for the obstinate courage of those whom you denomi­ nate as pension-paupers, the rebellion would have succeeded, the country would have been ruined, and your property would net have been worth anything?" "Admit tint, for the sake of argu­ ment." "Of course, then, havlog saved billions of property by the sacrifice of tbelr lives, strength and health, they are entitled to a Jlttle salysge, as the insurance men say,'oat of the property saved fn "Undoubtedly they are. ( don't ob ject to giving a liberal sum to any man who did his duty in the flild. But as I said before, I'm forever down on filling the pockets of a g'tng of cormo­ rant® just because they claim to have done something 20 years ago." "Filling the J pockets1 Is good. 'Cormorants' Is even better. Here's tho report of the 'Com nisslooer of Pensions.' Let's see how these pension- paupers fill their pockets. Let's see how these cormorants gorge them­ selves. About 1,500 of them get the enormous sum of $1 a month. Think how tbelr pockets must rise up like a haystack on a prairie,with this prince­ ly stipend of three cents a day! Then 33,000 if them get 93 a month. How the cormorants must gorge themselves on this Income of seven oents adayl then 31,000of them get 98 a month' and 10,000 receive 913. How their pockets must swell out like a mumpy cheek, with tills opulent Income! How they must revel In purple and fin* <iuen, ou from 37 to 40 oents a day." "But you're talking all the time about the little fellows--the ehspe who're hardly paid enough !o gel them tobacco or buy their shoes. Show us some of the big fellows.' "There are none. Nearly one-half of these on the pension-rolls get 94 a month or less--generally very much less' Four-fifths or them get 98 » month or less--nearly all very much less. Ooly one In 12 gets 924 a monti «>r over, and these are men who hav« been terribly mangled by shot or shell A very few, who are so badly crippled as to need ooostant attendance, ge< nlgher pay." "A dollar or so a day Is certainly not much compensation to a man who ha> ost a leg or his Sarms, I'll admit, 1 wouldn't lose one ofmy sroMorlegi- tor9S00a month." "No you would not. I noticed tb-i you raised a row the other day about (living to go a sqnare In the rail without an umbrella. You vowed vou'd cet a oold that would lay you ui> lor weeks. Half those men who ar» put oft with 98 a month marched bank and forth between Richmond anf1 Washington tor about four years. I' xeemed to rain nearly all the time when it wasn't frees I ng. Or burning up with dust anJ drouth, and yet I know Miere wasn't an umbrella among 100,- 000 of them. You would think it would rulu your health to walk down town on a sloppy day without overshoes. Yet a great part or those men who are getting seven or eight cents a dav for malaria and rheumatism In their tones tramped up and down through ihe ussy swamps of Mssisslppl, and waded bieast-deep through the marshes and Ice-cold rivers of tb«- Carollnas. I'm almost sure that not one of them so much as saw an over shoe from the lime they left Cairo In 1891. I know that you wouldn't go out into your back yard and sleep a single- night en the bare ground witl> nothing but a blanket between you and the bare earth lor the biggest pension the Government allows, and yet eveo the men who are receiving their pitiful little throeceittsa day, had to do that habitually."

The double de nonstratlon, on land and on water was apparently one of the grandest that has ever occurred In this country. When the torch which Liberty hold forth shall have been lighted, the work of more than ten years will have been completed. As long ago as 1871 Laboulaye suggested to Baribeld! > hen about to set out on a tour ot the United States, to make "a monument In common In remembrance of the ancient friendship between Prance and the United Stites,* The Inspira­ tion of the statue snd the torch came to Bartholdl as lie stood on the deck of a steamor, one beautiful spring morning when the whole panorama ot New York harbor was spread out be­ fore him. The steps by which the Inspiration was put into execution are famliar to the public, Ten years after the moulding began the statue reached New York. The processor raising money In both Franoe and America was slo*, but the donors were far ahead of the recipients. As the sum necessary for the pedestal was finally raised by the New York World's great popular subscription, embracing over one hundred thousand subscribers, the people of the United States made good their title to the gene roil a gift of France. The great work Is done. The statue measures 1S1 feet 1 Inch from the bottom of the plinth to the tip of the torch flame, and from the foundation of the pedes­ tal to the blaze I* 306 feet 6 Inches.
