President Harrison ranked as one of the best brigade commanders with Sher­ man's army on the Atlanta campaign. When Qrover Cleveland wants votes he is a great friend of the Union soldiers. His vetoes while president showed tietter his real sentiments. Gen. Pleasanton, who was a typical cavalry officer and famous as command­ er of that department of the Army of the Potomac, still resides in Washington. Eight Grand Army posts of the Louis­ iana and Mississippi department refused to recognize the colored comrades and in consequence gave np their charters. The graves of thirty-seven soldiers who fell on the battlefield of Pippecanae, near Lafayette, Ind.. were strewn with powers, on Memorial Day for the first time, it is said, since the battle was fought in 1811. Comrades we are anxious to ascertain where the soldier resides who done active and hard seryice in the war for the Union who can vote for Grover, the man who went to war by proxy, and who vetoed ten times as many pension claims as did all the other Presidents before him. Gen. Field, C. S. A., sab 1 of Virginia, by gad, sah 1 the candidate of the Omaha convention for vice-president, is willing to retract his innocent wish that he had killed a few more Yankees during the war and regard it as unsaid until after the polls close.--Philadelphia Press. The Military Tract reunion, held at Macomb, Oct 5. 6 and 7, proved a suc­ cess. An association of the Army of the Potomac of the West was affected, with Capt. Fordyce, of Berwick, 111., as Presi­ dent, And Samuel Terry, of Galesburg, as Secretary. Regimental reunions as fol­ lows were held: Fifty-seventy, sixty- fourth, sixteenth, fiftieth, eighty-third, twenty-eighth and forty-fourth Illinois, and the seventeenth Missouri. There were about 1500 veterans in attendance. When the late Mrs. Philip Haxall was Miss Mary Triplett, and a girl in her teens, Gen. Robt. E. Lee was very fond of her, and she kept as a priceless treas­ ure a letter be sent her at the time she was crowned Queen of the May at a school girl's festival. In this letter Gen. Lee wrote: "You know you have long been enthroned in my heart." When the Confederate commander returned from the war after the peace at Appomattox, Miss Triplett was present at his house to meet him, and begged of him a button from his coat. Ever after she wore the button as a brooch. So much did the Virginia soldiery think of her that when the statute of Gen. Lee was unveiled the entire body of Lee's troopssaluted her as she stood at the door of her home. den 0. H. 0-otvenor. We congratulate the old soldiers of the Eleventh Ohio Congressional District up­ on the fact that Gen. C. H. Grosvenor will be elected to the 53d Congress, and not only do we congratulate his com­ rades of that District, but also the old soldiers of the entire country. During his.service of six years in Congress Gen. Grosvenor was always and under all cir- cnmstances, one of the most active and determined leaders of the battles in Con­ gress for the benefit of his comrades. We state what we personally know that he advocated on the floor and in the com­ mittees every measure which it seemed possible to enact into law for their bene­ fit. His devotion to their cause and in­ terests was a conspicuous feature of his service in Congress. In the Pension De­ partment he was constantly at work, always pushing forward the claims o^the soldiers of his own district and of the thousands who wrote to him from other districts and states. It would be the part of wisdom if every soldier and every soldier's son in the Eleventh District of Ohio would cast his vote in November for (Gen.

The lieutenant, not thinking of danger, climbed upon the fence and sat dowp. Fierson shot him dead. In revenge the Boldiers killed Pierson and three of his children.

' "• 'v': There was aa enorstous anmnnt of brag and bluster in the early part of the war. The following challenge was sent by the Pillow Guards of Cairo, Dl.: "We have enlisted under the stars and bars of the Confederate States, for the purpose of defending Southern rights and vindi­ cating Southern honor. But more es­ pecially we have been selected and sworn in for the purpose of guarding the person of our gallant Gen. Pillow. Understand­ ing that you occupy a like position in reference to Prentiss, the commandant at Cairo, we challenge you to meet us at any time, at any place, in any number, and with any arms or equipments you may select. We wish to meet no other until we have met and conquered you and your general. Make your own terms only lot us know when and where, and be certain you will meet the bravest guard the world has ever known." The above was dated June 3,1871, and on June 17 the following was endorsed an the back of the challenge by Capt. J. D. Walker, commanding the Prentiss Guards: "We accept no challenge from traitors, but hang them. If we ever meet you you shall suffer the fate of traitors." Capt. Walker commanded an independent com­ pany attached to the 11th 111., and was afterwards adjutant of the 30th I11.4 and was killed at Drewry's Bluffs, Va., te May, 1864.--National Tribune.

For example, here is a table showing the total wages'paid in 1880 and in 1890 in the woolen, cotton and silk indus­ tries: Total wage* paid 1880. •47,380,067 42,040,510 9,146,706 Four Hundred ThoUaad Strang. Certain kinds of statistics are as estingly eloquent as poetry, and of these are the vital records of the Grand Army of the Republic that is yearly diminish­ ing, and will,ere long, be balanced in the great credit. When this organization was first effected the membership was comparatively small, and even now it is far from including all the soldiers ot the Union. Each year, however, new re­ cruits were added, the boys perceiving the many advantages of the bonded as sociations, poets sprung up in new com­ munities, and by rapid degrees at last theG. A. R. beccame what is now, powerful body. The membership is now at its highest point, the total number in good standing being 407,781. In the last callender year there was a gain of 229 posts, mak­ ing a total of 7,568 and in that year there was an increase in membership of 64,401, though the losses, through death, discharge and other causes, were 06,109, the apparent loss of 1,708 being offset by the fact that nearly 3,000, new members were made without authority, and so were not included in the veterans, making the actual gain about 1,200. In accounting for the losses other than through death it must be remembered that the army posts are governed as any club is ruled, and reserve the right to pass upon the fitness of members to re­ main in the army to which they have been admitted. Something more than having been a soldier is necessary to es­ tablish a man's right to continued mem­ bership in the body. The deaths last .vear were 6,440; the honorable dis­ charges were 1,829; the suspensions 34,- 367; the dishonorable discharges, 467, and the delinquencies 13,582; and though these figures seem at first to re­ flect somewhat upon the constituency of the army they do indeed prove at what a high standard the organization is maintained. Large as the death list is, it does not include any but those who were actual members. The number of old soldiers who died last year, in and out of the G. A. R., was far in excess of the figures given in the report. The adjutant General expressed the be­ lief that the ranks of the army will re­ main for some time about as well filled as they are at present, but sorrowfully added that after a few years its decrease will be very rapid. In the nature of things this truly grand army can not survive much longer to keep alive the fateful days when the Republic trembled in the balance of fate and so nearly ceas­ ed to exist among nations. After a time the annual death rate will not be 6,000or 20,000, but will be at the fearful rate of 50,000, and when these swiftly succeed­ ing passings of the heroes who went to battle with the dawn of youth upon th- ir cheeks thin the ranks ol gray-haired, broken men. the country that owes them so much will begin again to look with reverent affection upon the veterans as it did when the troops came marching home with the laurels of victors green upon their brows.--Infer Ocean. f e ' S y f t i S i f i f : ' • . > , J p .

But, says the free trader: "There are more persons employed." That is true. In 18»o these industries employed 865,438 persons, and in 1890 they employed 488,804 persons. Thus we see that in the decade the pro­ tective policy which tne democratic platform pronounces "a fraud and rob­ bery" has given employment, in only three industries, to 188,866 additional employes. Turning again to the wage table the results are still more satisfactory. Not only have wages increased actually, but relatively. That is, the 1163,000,- 000 received in 1890 was 38.11 per cent, more wages per capita than the $98,000,- 000 received in 1880. The percentage of increase in annual wages per capita h«m been 19.26 per cent, in the woolen In­ dustry, 28.80 per cent, in the cotton in­ dustry and 82.49 per cent, in the silk in­ dustry. The methods employed in gath­ ering the statistics of textile industries in 1890 Were identical with those of 1880. Practically the same men did the work.

Gen. 8ickles was too gallant a soldier in war to be a hypocrite time of peace. He knows what the war cost him; he has had his personal share of the suffering, the pain and privation that the men who went to the front en­ dured for the union cause. It was in an outburst of honest indignation that he said in Washington: "You are going home now, and there le pome thing 1 want you to take home with you. Pon­ der It; teaoh it to your children; tell it to your neighbors. It Is this truth, that the people ot the United States will see that no man la ever elected to an office of profit and trust In this country who opposes the payment ot pensions to the soldiers of the rebellion." Gen. Sickles is a democrat; but he always has been first of all a patriot. It is only natural that the brave old soldier should despise the candidate who, in vetoing bills for the relief of the widows of soldiers, was capable of making the women to whom he denied bread the targets of his fatuous wit. For such a person loyal veterans can have no sentiment except disgust, and it is difficult to believe that any union soldier,,or anyone who has a feeling of gratitude toward the veterans who fought that a government of the peo­ ple, for the people, and by the people, should not perish from the earth, can support the ticket of Cleveland, the stay at home, and Stevenson, the copper­ head. __________ An Excellent Showiiut. Hon. I. N. Pearson, secretary of state of Illinois, has just completed his semi­ annual report and turned into the state treasury 118,167.46, fees received for the six months ending October 1, 1892, and making the total paid in by him for the past three years, eight and one-half months, $S6,243.50, and the amount will reach nearly 195,000 at the close of his four year's term. Mr. Pearson is a candidate for reelec­ tion to the office of secretary of state, and the above statement should be reason enough for his retention in this office, let alone several other equally good reasons. This is a matter that the taxpayers of Illinois should look at, and not lose sight of. A man that can and ^>es save the above fortune to the peo­ ple of Illinois, in one four-year term, is certainly the man for the place, and that is the kind of a man Isaac N. Pear­ son is.
