FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22. 1807.

U.VDKii President Cleveland the per capita circulation in the country fell to 521.10, but it has increased under President McKinley to S22.S11.

Tin-: papers throughout the country are having- the job of their lives in trying to follow the convolutions of the Mayoralty campaign in New York.

Tjik increase in the postal receipts '•of the country for this September over those of September of last year simply augments the evideuco piling up on all hands to show a condition of increased business.

Coxskkvativk estimates state SlfiO,000,000 as the figures which will probably be reached by the gold reserve of the Treasury Department before the end of the crop season. This state of all'airs presents somewhat of a contrast to the last Administration

Hon. Cuaju.ics L. IIhxky has announced that he will not be a candidate for re-election to Congress from the Anderson district, and immediately there has been sprouted a luxuriant crop of Barcuses, willing to step into his shoes.

Tiik Treasury Department is responsible for the statement that there are now in the world S4,235,000,000 in silver money, and that of that amount S3 per cent,, is full legal tender. This looks as though silver had uot been discriminated against to any great extent.

Pkesidknt McKinluy's action in appointing a special reciprocity commissioner to arrange details in this line with foreign countries with dispatch and without necessitating the ponderous delays of the State Department is generally commended as wise and needful.

A Poi'ocitATic sheet says that "wheat ought to be SI.50, but it isn't." If wheat sold at SI.50 it would require three ounces of silver to buy a bushel, and the twins—wheat and silver— would be still farther apart. Republican dollar wheat beats Popocratic fifty cent wheat twice over.

Hon. Josiah Pattehson, a Tennessee ex-Congressman, and a prominent gold Democrat, says that element "has parted company forever from the party which adopted the Chicago platform." It has begun to look that way. There is a likelihood of being two Democratic parties in 1900, as there was in 1800,

The report of the Interstate Commerce Commission adds to the weight of evidence already at hand of an improved business condition of the country. It shows that the freight tonnage of the last yei»i is the largest of any year in the history of the country, being 70,000,000 tons greater than that of the year before.

Who is responsible for the statement that champion Fitzsimmons and excandidate Bryan are to make a starring tour, Fitzsimmons to do the sparring and Bryan the starring? This would make a strong team in view of Fitzsimmons' well-known popularity and Bryan's exceptional success of late in making speeches at county fairs for a share of the gate receipts.

The recent Indianapolis election cost S10,SG3,23. Much of this cost could be saved by the use of voting machines. There ib less machinery in the machine, the voting can be dooe more rapidly, and the counting is completed almost as soon as the polls are closed and with greater accuracy. The sooner Indiana adopts this method of voting the better aud more satisfactory it will be for all who are concerned in celerity and accuracy and at a less cost.

One has only to look about'him today to see the dangers to a political organization from the spoils of office even on a limited scale. The factional lighting among Republicans every-, where grows largely out of Federal patronage. The local leaders and those who hacl oflices at their disposal have been unable to divide them up in a satisfactory way. The situation 'would be worse if the places were more numerous—if the old system prevailed. It is bad enough as it is. Where Republicans have lost this year, the disaster is largely attributed to the wrangling over patronage. This is as clear as daylight. In the face of it,

*, ,-VV

can any party leader seriously advocate an increase of the difficulty? Would he be considered a wise leader who would start two fights where one is now in progress? That, and nothing else, would be the inevitable result of the repeal, or eyen an un friendly amending, of the civil service law.

The evidence is cumulative that the bulk of the paying silver mines of the United States is owned by the English. The Baltimore

Sun,

one of the

most reliable of Democratic papers, and one of the most careful and bjsfc informed, in its issue of September 18, says: "Mr. Edward Atkinson, who is in London, finds that three-fourths of all the silver mines in the world, reckoned by producing power, are owned in that city. Silver is a large 15ritit.li interest, and free coinage in the United States is naturally much desired by this interest. This explains, in a measure, the feeler just put out in London as to the Hank of England using its option of keeping one-fifth of its reserve in silver. The capitalist class who own the British silver mine's are potent in the Board of Directors cf the bank."

Should the United States adopt the policy of free coinage at the ratio of 10 to 1 it would enable this British silver trust to convert their bullion into legal tender coin at SI 20 per ounce, thus giving them a clear profit of (14 cents an ounce in addition to the profit they now make. 1 he great bulk of the tremendous profit on the Presidency, if the bid of the trust had secured Bryan, would have gone to the British!

THE SHILOH CONTROVERSY.

Captain Jitmb Uieler, of Indianapolis, (.l.es Some Valuable Information Concerning a Disputation.

At the reunion of the Eleventh Indiana regiment in Indianapolis Captain Jacob Bieler of the Sixth Indiana Battery gave some very interesting information concerning the course of Gen. WallaceVt Shiloh. It will not fail to interest any one who is at all conversant with the dispute and too much importance cannot be attached to it as a conclusive prcof in favor of Gen. Wallace's position. Captain Bieler in his remarks said: "If 1 shall tell you something in the course of mv talk, in which your regiment. as well as your old commander, General Lew Wallace, is interested, I want you to compare notes with me in what I shall say to you concerning previous reports from other channels regarding the Purdy road controversy. I was a member of the late Sixth Indiana Battery (organized as Morton Battery When the lleet was organized at Paducah, Ivy., for the purpose of transporting the troops up the Tennessee river, our battery received orders, on March 8, 1802, to embark on the stecmer Lancaster, and we left Paducah the same day. After the lleet arrived at Pittsburg Landing our battery was assigned to Sherman's division, which encamped a little in front and to the right of Shiloh church. We were assigned to McDowell's Brigade, and were on the extreme right of the division about one mile from the' Brigade over Owl creek on the Purdy road. On Sunday morning, April 0, the bullets from the rebels were llying through our tents while we were dressing. The battery receiveu .orders to advance. I was artificer at that time and had command of the reserve, consisiing of the battery wagon and ammunition train. The Captain ordered me to take care of the camp until further orrWc this, however, did not suit me. I ask him to permit me to accompany the battery and turn the camp over to some one else. He gave his consent. The battery advanced about one-fourth of a mile from camp: took os it on in in a it id ered with trees and under brush about! three-quarters of a mile to the left of the bridge over O .vl creek. We were watching and listening to the heavy firing on our left. The skirmish line in front of us was finally driven back aud some rebel sharp shooters, having discovered us, made it disagreeable. Some of our boys got restless and wanted to know whether they were placed there as targets and asked the Captain to permit them to reply with a few rounds. The Captain handed me his Held glass and told me to locate the hidiug place of the sharpshooters. 1 discovered them in acorn crib in the far distance. The captain ordered a few shells sent over and the firing from that point ceased. "This was about 10 o'clock a. m. An officer from Sherman's staff came over in great haste and ordered us to cease firing at the same time he gave oiders to send one section of the battery (two guns) over to the bridge on Owl creek, which was to our right and a little in front of our position, with the strict orders to hold it at all hazards, as Gen. Lew Wallace was expected to come over that bridge. Our battery was composed of Germans exclusively. The command was given in German language. Dur captain, Frederice Von Behr, was an ex-artillery officer of the German army, and the first lieutenant, William Mussman, was also a noncommissioned officer of the German army. They were brave oilicers and good disciplinarians, but were not well versed in the English language. The Captain asked me to interpret the orders given by the officer, which I did, and he ordered First Lieutenant Mussman over to the bridge, instructing him to hold it. A detachment of the Sixth Iowa Infantry, which, with the Forty-sixth Ohio, supported our battery, was detailed to support Lieutenant Mussman at the Owl Creek bridge. Mussman held the bridge long after we were driven back, which was between 11 and 11:30 o'clock a. m. By this time one-half our horses were killed. The roads were blocked with trains and ammunition wagons, and so we ffanked to the left in the woods, and here our captain was killed and our battery of four guns lost. General Sherman, who was within ten yards from where the captain fell, motioned us back, Mussman saved one gun of h:s section, and in the afternoon we took charge of a battery near the river. "Now, comrades, will you please explain to me how that officer of General Sherman's staff knew that General Wallace's division was to come over that bridge at Owl Creek, over the Purdy road, if Wallace had no orders from his superior officers to take tnat route to join us that day? To substantiate the orderigiven by that officer from Sherman's staff I will name you Comrade Louis Kern, who was second lieutenant of the Sixth Indiana

Battery, and who I believe is present here to-niglit, or we will give you any living member of the Sixth Battery, or can give some of the members of the Sixth Iowa Infantry who 'supported the guns at the -bridge. Two years ago Lieutenant Louis Kern and I went

to the reunion of the Blues and Grays, held at Shiloh, where we met some members of the Sixth Iowa and Fortysixth Ohio. We located our position and camp, talked over the engagement and exchanged recollections in reference to the occurrences of that memorable day. Had it oot been for that reunion this incident might never again have come to my mind I at that time wrote a letter to vour worthy president containing in substance the same statement in reference tc that order given by the adjutant of General Sherman regarding the Owl Creek bridge, as related by me tonight. I, for my part, was always convinced, and I am now. that General Wallace took the road by orders received, and be was on the right road to Shiloh to save the day Have you ever heard, before or since, that Wallace was on the wrong road? It is gratifying that Generals Grant and Sherman, in their later letters and articles written by them, exonerated your beloved commander from the great point of blame for taking the then supposed wrong road Truth must prevail."

Impromptu speeches were made by several veterans, there were more songs bv the glee clnb and the formal part of the reunion came to a close.

A New IStis'ness for Women. And now a woman is running a trolley car. This new field for womankind may strike the casual observer as somewhat peculiar, but the young lady who has taken it up says that it is much easier than housework and* a great deal more agreeable than a good many other things that women are called upon to do. There is a great deal of nonsensical talk about the necessity for strength in the ordinary pursuits of life. As a matter of fact, brute force or what we call physical strength is one of the minor items in the success which people meet with in almost all o£ the ordinary occupations by which men and women earn their bread.

It does not require physical strength to command a ship or to fill the position of conductor indeed some of tile most successful men in the world have been physical weaklings but they had brains, tact, nerve and alertness, which goes a very iong ways in making up the sum total of elements that conduce to success.

New Use for Chewing Gam. Even gum chewing may stand one in good stead upon occasion, as a young woman of Camdeh, Me.,found during an ascent, of Mount Battle. She wore a short slcirt and it caught in a broken bit of shrubbery and was torn. She calmly took the gum she was chewing from her mouth, put the torn parts of the dress into place and fixed them there with it. Anybody who has inadvertently stepped upon a piece of gum put to less good use will have no difficulty in believing the story.
