SATURDAY, JAN. 17,1891.
WHEN members of tlie same political party, the same chureli, or tlio same family begin to quarrel among themselves, then the fun bogius for the rest the world.
REPRESENTATIVE KBTJLY, of Kansas, on Saturday introduced in the House a bill directing the Secretary of the Treasury to print fractional currency of the United States to the amount of §50,000,000, this currency to be issued in bills of the denominations of 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents, and 50 cents. Twentyfivo millions of the currency is to be of the denomination of 50 cents ^15,000,000, of 25 cents §5,000,000, of 10 cents, and $5,000,000 of 5 cents. This currency is to bo a legal tinder for all Jebts for any sum not exceeding §10.
DEMOCRATIC Congressmen are muoh annoyed about the frequency and facility with which Cleveland "shoots off his mouth," It is not, they soy, that he says anything damaging, but lie talks too much. Impression is general that lie is making a deperate bid for the noxt presidential nomination, and this is not satisfying to the leaders of the party in Congress who, no matter what the Demdbratic masses may desire, are not inclined to take a second dish of Cleveland. Senator Gorman says the next convention is too far ahead to talk of candidates. Ho thinks his party would be much better occupied .in advancing Democratic issues than in mapping out the issues of any one man.
Tim much liod-about McKinley bill will be vindicated in time, for time at last makes all things even. We quote this from the Fort Wayne Gazette: "A leading wliolc sale and retail dealer of Fort Wayne informs the Gazette that the Mclvinley bill is getting in its work. The 'grinding of the poor,' about which the Democratic papers had so muoh to say, has commenced but that 'grinding' is being done in away that will lie pleasing rather than otherwise. The gentleman tells us that since tli? MoKinley bill went into effect there has been a reduction on spool thread from 8S cents per dozen to 77 oents per dozen. This is an artioles of uccossity—used by the poor as well as the rich, in fact, one of the necessities which Democrats insisted would be increased in price by the new tariff bill. Yes, the tariff bill is 'getting in its work,' even much earlier than the most enthusiastic supporter of the measure supposed would be the ise."

![Copyright iy American Press Association. 1 UK escape of Morgan, tlie raider, from he Ohio penitentiary iu
November, 1803, is a bold break for liberty. lie
f^raid upon which 5\ lie was engaged when captured was the most darundertaking (luring the civil war, and Gen.
Morgan was a noted fighter and leader whom an in 1
much prefer to guard in a strong prison than to antagonize in tlie open field. The state of Ohio claimed Morgan and his officers us offenders against the commonwealth Ix'cause they had been captured while raiding within its borders, and the military commander of the department, Gen. Burnside, turned them over to be treated as felons. The party, to the number of seventy, were accordingly placed in confinement in awing of the penitentiary where the cells were set in solid masonry so as to form an interior structure, like a huge cage built in a large room. The cells were in five tiers and Morgan was on the second ier, and those who ultimately escaped with him were on the first. The doors of the cells were iron grates with bars an inch and a quarter wide and half an inch thick, placed two inches apart each way.
Morgan's men were m.-t allowed to come in contact with civil prisoners. They were marched out across the prison yard to their meals, and were allowed daily exercise in the alleys running around their cells. The hall, as the room containing the cage was ,culled, was under special guard. A turnkey was constantly on watch, two military sentinels patrolled the room alongside of the cage, the prison guards., warden and deputies made rounds of inspection, and no communication was allowed with any persons except the keepers unless military guards were present. Between sundown and sunrise the raiders were securely locked in their cells. They were not permitted to have newspapers and their correspondence wiis subjected to censorship
Under these circumstances men of spirit naturally take great risk to breathe the air of freedom, and the raiders began to speculate on means of escape. One of the officers, Capt.. Thomas 11.1 lines, after some study came Io the conclusion that there must be an air chamber beneath the floor of the room, and on consultation with Morgan, Mines and five others of the same rank resolved to open a hole through the floor. They began work on the -1th of November with two steel case knives, and after cutting out six inches of cement and several layers of brick found a chamber underneath, six feet wide and four feet high. This chamber extended to the end of the wing. The preliminary work had been done with great secrecy. Mines' cell was selected to operate in, and the opening was made in the back part, underneath his ironco't. The material taken out was first placed iu his bed tick and afterward removed to the chamber below. In order to avoid the eye of the scrub, Mines secured permission to clean his own cell as a means of exercise.
The air chamber was found to he too strongly walled in to offer a means of escape, but it proved an excellent place for secret labor in tunneling, and the plan is confided to several men oft he Morgan party not included among those who were to escape. While others were working iu the chamber below, which was during the day, of course, when the men were allowed the liberty of the whole room, lines sat in the door of his cell deeply engaged in reading. This had been his favorite pastime before the tunnel was commenced, and was a successful device. By a system of signals made with raps on the floor Ilines was able to give notice when any of the guards or keepers were in the vicinity and likely to overhear the work. But. with all precautions there were narrow escapes from discovery. The prisoners were taken to dinner in squads, and one day a squad was summoned out of the usual order, while one man of the number was in the tunnel. The name of the missing man was called out persistently, .and Gen. Morgan, who happened to be in the linlI, said promptly to the turnkey,
Me is lying down in my cell he is sick." Then the general began to talk with the turnkey iu a very flattering manner about a protest he thought of submitting to the authorities, and iu this way beguiled the unwary fellow until The missing man got out of the tunnel and fell into his place.
The work was finally completed, after cutting through five feet of foundation wall beneath the cell, twelve feet of cemented filling and six feet of outer wall. Four feel of earth was removed to make a place of egress. As the men to escape would be confined at night in their separate cells it was necessary to open p:is.sages from each

cell into the air chamber. This was done from underneath, and a thin shell of the floor cement was left in place so as to deceive the cell inspectors. The tunnel led no farther than the prison yard, and around this was a wall twenty-live feet high, which tho fugitives must surmount in some way. For this purpose a rope was plaited from bedclothing torn into strips, and a stove poker supplied material for a strong grappling hook to secure one end of the rope to the top of the wall. Another nice point was to spy out a place to scale the wall, for
daws by men standing on the floor.

claimed: "March onl Carry me into the fort, for I will die at fihre head of my column!" Two aids raised him, and carried him into the work just as the two columns met on the parade.
Loud huzzalis signalized the victory, which, however, had not been won so easily as it is told. Not a musket was fired by the Americans, yet tliey literally fought their way in. Lieut. Gibbon lost seventeen killed and wounded out of his little forlorn party of twenty. Col. I)e Fleury entered the work first and struck the British flag. A Maj. Posey mounted the rampart at the same instant, calling out amid the battle din the significant British watchword of the night, the one used by the negro, "The fort's our own!"
In the first stroke I he Americans were warned against attacking their own men —for it was pitch dark —-by pieces of white cloth sewed in their hats for badges. The garrison surrendered, and not a life was taken after quarter was asked. Such clemency was not always accorded by tho British when places were stormed, especially by the foreign mercenaries of that army. Se'vcral British vessels lying in the harbor were not included in the surrender, but on the alarm of attack quietly slipped their cables and dropped down the river. Daylight found the Americans in full possession, and (lie commander-in-chief was apprised of the success of his masterly and daring plan by a Kote from Wayne, which read:
STONY POINT lfith July LTTFT. I o'clock a. in.
PKAH OI'.N'I,—Tho fort & Garrison with Col. Johnston are ours. Our officers & men behaved like men who nro determined to ho free. Yours most sincerely, ANTHONY WAVNS. (ien'l Washington, .j.u
In this exploit, which has been called tho most brilliant in the revolutionary war, Wayne's loss was fifteen killed anil eightythree wounded. This was remarkably small, but the darknessand the firing over heads, which favors the assailants in mounting heights, rather than the weakness of the opposition, account for his.
The British reported twenty killed, but the Americans accounted for sixty-three of the enemy's dead and 043 prisoners, including the commander.
The rewards for this daring piece of work show the estimation in which it was held by the count ry. Congress ordered a gold medal foi Wayne and silver medals for the division leaders, De Fleury and Stewart. Lieuts. Gibbon and Knox, leaders of the forlorn parties, each received the brevet of captain. On lie recommendation of Washington and Wayne the value oft he military stores captured were divided among the officers and men who took part iu the capture. The sum total was $158,W0. The first man to enter the British works received $500, the second, §400 the third, $300 the fourth, $200, and the fifth, $100.

ild. Before the war he was a surveyor and held some colonial office. Me was a colonel in the army of Gen. Thomas in the expedition to Canada in 1775-7(5, and won a brigadier's commission. Me next served with Washington at Brandywine and Germantown, 1777, and at Monmouth, 1778. At the Brandywine he was charged with the defense of Chodd's Ford, which he accomplished. At Germantown he fought well and drove the enemy, and at Monmouth distinguished himself in brilliant manceuvers. After Stony Point he went south with the Pennsylvania troops, was with Lafayette in Virginia, and later conducted the war in Georgia. After the war he served in councils, and in 17!IJ succeeded Gen. St. Clair in the war against western Indians. Ilis victory over the powerful Miamis and the treaty following added to his fame. Me died iu 17SG,and his remains liein Delaware county, where a monument, has been erected by the Society of the Cincinnati. Mis general reputation as a soldier was summed up in the phrase: "Where Wayne is, there is fighting always. That is his business."
Among the good words brought out by the Stony Point victory were these. Gen. Charles Lee. by no means a Wayne partisan, wrote: "I do riiost seriously declare that your assault of Stony Point is not only the most brilliant, in my opinion, throughout the whole course of the war on either side, but that it is the most brilliant I am acquainted with in history. Tlie assault of Schweiduitz by Marshal Lando.i I think inferior to it."
The celebrated Dr. Rush wrote from Philadelphia: "Our streets rang for many days with nothing but the name of Gen. Wayne. You are remembered constantly, next to our good ami great Washington, over our claret and Madeira. You have established the national character of our country you have taught our enemies that bravery, humanity and magnanimity are the native virtues of the Americans." Of Wayne's marshals in tli'is assault, De Fleury was a French nobleman and a trained military engineer. For gallantry at the Brandywine congress gave him a horse. The medal presented him for Stony Point bore the inscription, "The American republic has bestowed (this medal) on Col. D. de Fleury, a native of France, the first over tlie walls." Maj. Stewart was killed during the war at Charleston, S. C\, by a fall from his horse. Lieut. James Gibbon, who led one forlorn hope, served through, the war and became a major.
Even the negro who played such an important part came in for a reward. He was a slave belonging to a Captain Lamb, and his master presented him .a horse and exempted him from all labor as a reward for his services to Wayne in that doubly daring expedition against the fortress of Stony Point.

Tlie holding of the World's Fair in a elt sc 11 ly 50 years old will be a remarkable event, but whether it will really benefit this nation as much as the discovery of the Restorative Nervine by Dr. Franklin Miles is doubtful. This is just what the American people need to cure their excessive nervousness, dyspepsia, headache, dizziness, sleeplessness, neuralgia, nervous debility, dullness, confusion of mind, etc. It acts like a charm.
