THE CORPORAL'’S S.TATEMEN'I*'.

They put me in the Pension shop, they raised a great hurrah,. : : They knew I'd make ’em solid ‘with the G. A.

I sounded on the bugle and I beat upon the drum, : I lay awake devising schemes to make the surplus hum; g I asked my comrades to come .in and warm them from the cold, : Lk And stuff their po¢kets brimming full of green- . backs and. of gold; L 7 I really thought that Harrison -had meant the things he said, S ‘When, all at once, he says: ‘“Shut up, you're suffering from big head.” :

Y. Sun, - ‘ ———— — | . PRIVATE DALZELL. ; He Sounds Sundry Death Knells and Curses of the Fairchild Order. fo Though too indignant and exabperated to write concisely, my humble opinion of the dismissal of Corporal Tanner, requested by you, is of little worth; but hereit is: It is the old story of “I find no fault in this man, but crucify him!” If Tanner had been found guilty of drunkenness, stealing or other crime the soldiers would be satisfied. If his crime is that heis not an aristocrat with a pedigree,’ iga martinet with a title, or a millionaire with a million, a million men who wore like him the private’s blouse will condemn and avenge this decapitation. If his fault is that he was too liberal toward the soldiers it will and should destroy the Republican party, for it obtained power alone by promise of increased and unmeasured liberality in pensiors. My own opinion is that any man, no matter who, had better been dismissed than Corporal Tanner, and I am confirmed in this opinion by the universal voice of all soldiers here, whose indignation is simply indescribable. 1

The proposition to raise a quarter million dollars for legless Corporal Tanner is gaining ground daily among the indignant soldiers. They raised such funds for Grant and Garfield. They can do as much for Tanner,: to show t..eir appreciation of his liberality as Commissioner, their sympathy with him in his distress, and their contempt and hatred of his persecutors, In his degradation they see their owy. In his fall they see theirs. They see all privates are despised and scorned and ostracized. They “hurl back their indignant defiance in the faces of the plutocrats who degrade Tanner and in degrading him show their contempt for us all. : | A curse —a blighting., withering, damnirg, lasting, blasting curse—seize them one and all; the blistering, blasting curse of the rank and file who won the victories of war and whose ballots achieved all the victories of peace. ‘ i

We are betrayed in the house of our friends, and this fund shall be our significant. reply to be reckoned by avenging ballots at the polls. - "I never saw them so angry before since Lincoln was assassinated, for their best friend has heen stabbed to death in the house of his friends. It may all be explained and made satisfactory yet, but nothing so far seems to justify this monstrous crime against the rank and file. We all know and admire and indorse. Corporal Tanner and had expected great things of his administration in carrying out the pledges whereby the Republicans gained power. cal s

No matter what Tanner said in words, he left two more legs on the field than any man did who forced his decapitation. The soldiers don't know that man’s name and a thousand-fold better had it been that that man had been forced out. It sounds the death knell of the Republican party unless it can be explained. 1t destroys the man who instigated it, anyhow, standing though he be behind the President, urging on this outrage. I have also felt that man’s venom. - If the rank and file are not fit to hold office they are not fit to vote. Corporal Tanner was the first private ever yet appointed to any office—he will be the last. One mightas well be a nigger as a private under any administration, for all despise him and seek to humiliate him.-—Private Dalzell, in N. Y.

Newport, and point to the fact of her safe arrival as a vindication of Robtch and condemnation of Whitney. During her trip from New York to Newport the Atlanta labored feartully in a forty-mile gale, and it took four days and four nights for her to make the trip. While this vaunted Roach cruiser was making a desperate fight for life, dozens of other vessels were out in the same gale, and seemed not to be affected by it. : | All the vessels designed and constructed under Mr. Whitney’s direction have so far proved decided successes, and the United States may well be proud of the nucleus of the new navy provided by the Democratic administration. Secretary Tracy found the Navy Department in the most admirable order when he assumed charge of it, and there were no Roacs failures before him to patch up or violated contracts to set right. He has manfully acknowledged the debt of gratitude which the country owes his predecessor for giving it the swiftest and best cruiser afloat. If the snarling Republican organs have any respect for the memory of John Roach they will refrain from dragging him from the grave and drawing attention again to his conspicuous failures.— Albany (N. Y.) Argus. ot : LSI - PIOUS MR, WANAMAKER. How He Makes His Connection with 'the Government Pay Well. f The New York Saturdey Globe declarés itself unable to accept a state ment of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the statement in question being as follows: Bids were invited some time ago for the uniforms of the Cincinnati mail-carriers. Many of our local leading furnishers went into. the competition. The lowest Cincinnati bid was $20.05 per uniform. But Wanamaker & Brown, of Philadelphia, got the contract at $9. Of course, John did not have any tip to knock off that five cents. i

We have aot seen the Post-Office Department books or the contract, but this statement of the facts has been made in the Cincinnati papers as an announcement of the result of the bids. It has been reiterated and commented on there and elsewhere, and we have waited in vain for Mr. Wanamaker to deny or explain. -The report of the bidding and award made public in Cincinnati has, therefore, all the probabilities on its side, and we have no doubt that if Congress investigates, it will be found that the contract was awarded to Wanamaker & Brown exactly as stated. , The house of Wanamaker & Brown is, we understand, an offshoot of “John Wanamaker’s,” and the busi~ ness relations between them are close, though Wanamaker & Brown claim independence of . the parent house. Nevertheless, it is g‘en—erally understood that the capital in Wanamaker & Brown is, in part at least, John Wanamaker's capital, so that when he lets a contract to that firm he practically lets it to himself. . While this is our understanding of the matter, based on all facts obtainable, we prefer to leave it for a Congressional investigation in which | all the facts can be developed. It is of record that since John Wanamaker became Postmaster-General, Wanamaker & Brown have attempted to use fourth-class postmasters as their agents. 'The letting of this Cincinnati contract is no worse for the Postmas-ter-General than this. His methods call for full ‘investigation from Congress, with a view to bringing.out the connection between Wanamaker, the Cabinet member, and Wanamaker, the breeches-maker. —St. Louis Republic.

As a general rule, the grass should never be sheared nearer than two inches of the ground.

—Baked Tomatoes: Select and prepare exactly as for broiling or frying. Arrange with the cut sides on top in a buttered baking-pan. Salt and pepper, and set in a well-heated oven. Bake for half-hour, and then transfer, without breaking if possible, to a platter or dish, where the gravy is poured over them. A sprig or two of parsley may be laid around each tomato as a garnish.

It is better to put in a layer of about two' and a half feet and then let it ferment till the temperature rises to about 130 degs., and then add another layer, and so on, till the silo is full.

ASHES AS MANURE.

A Good Fertilizer When Applied in Lim- : ited Quantities,

It has beén abundantly demonstrated by analysis and experience that ashes of mineral coal are practically of no value as fertilizers, although the use of these in finely si#®sd condition is frequently represented as bepeficial. In such cases the benefits are due to the mechanical chawgés wrought on soils of a texture that requiréd some such addition. It must be added, however, that this mechanical action of coal aslies is, in some soils, injurious.

With the ashés of wood the case is quite different, these bheing classed among the most valuable of fertilizers. The valuable ingredients of wood ashes are potash lime and phosphoric acid, potash leading in importance, according to the popular opinion. It is, however, sometimes difficult to decide to which of these ingredients the useful effect exerted by wood ashes is due, depending, as it does, on the amount of each that may have existed in the soil as plant food previousto the application of the ashes, for lime and phosphoric acid are as essential to plant growth as is potash. The ash remaining from the combustion of wood and plants is very small in volume and weight compared with the amount of vegetable matter it represents, but it has been conclusively demonstrated that a plant can not grow in the absence of the substances found in its ash. The ashes of plants are, therefore, exceedingly valuable agents in their own reproduction; for, although they are not all identical in their composition, the ash of each class of plant differing in some respects from that of others, yet there'is enough similarity existing in all to make their ashes generally useful. As they are among the most useful, so, where wood is used for fuel they may be pronounced among the most econom--ical manures, and none should be wasted, but all be saved and applied to ‘the land. Leached ashes, though less valuable, contain mostof their original elements, except a loss in their potash and soda. They may also be advantageously applied, and will improve all soils not already satuvated with. the principles they contain. - = - Ingeneral it may be said that a dressing of from twenty to forty: bushels of wood ashes will be beneficial on all soils reduced by cropping, nevertion of ashes without a corresponding ‘having o woody stracture ashes will ‘e found useful, Ans rols nolioh will Fodtsimdon o ity L D g gTRS PR RN OLN M . s opin S SRS

WAsHINGTON, Sept. 30.—The congress of delegates from the forty-six States and Territories of the United States and from the nineteen sister States of South and Central Americais attracting widespread attention. This is really the first great American conference which has been held for commercial purposes since the discovery of the western hemisphere 400 years ago. A congress between the American States was held in® Panama in 1825, but it was for political purposes merely and the United States was not represented. The present scheme originated with Mr. Blaine under the administration of Garfield. Blaine was then Secretary of State, as he is now, and a call was issued for the convention. The assassination of the President delayed matters, but the call was reissued by Secretary Bayard under an act approved May 24, 1888, and all the States responded accepting the invitation except San Domingo. _ | OBJECTS OF THE CONVENTION. The prime purpose of the congress of American nations is to consider ‘‘measures toward the formation of an American cusstoms union under which the trade of the - American nations with each other shall be promoted as far as is possible and profitable.” The adoption of acommon silver coin to be a legal tender between citizens of all American nations, the establishment of a uniform system of weights and measures, and a common method of estimating valuations on merchandise and fixing duties are among the subjects designated for special consideration.. The improvement of steamship communication and the settlement by arbitration of disputes between the- nations concerned are matters that will receive attention also. Briefly stated, the purpose of this country in calling the congress is to find some way of inducing the South American countries to buy manufactured goods and articles from the United States instead of from Kuropean producers as at present. Any thing will be in order which tends to prove to the people of the ‘‘States south of us’’ thas they can profitably convert their trade from Europe to the United States. There is no question as to.the great gain to the United States if this country could secure a good share of the trade with Central and South America. : The extent of the United States imports and exports of the Central and South American nations is as follows: : - .

A train of Pullman cars will leave Washington on Thursday next, bearing the representatives of the American Nations to the International conference to be held next month at the National capital. .The party, as guests of the Government, are to be taken over a large section of the United States in order that they may see and appreciate to some extent the vast resources of this conutry. The entire distance to be traveled is 5,406 miles, and the Pennsylvania railroad has undertaken the task of arranging and carrying out the details for this unprecedented trip. The train will be on the road forty-two days and will pass over the main lines of thirty different railroad corporations and through twenty States. The train will carry an ample supply of provisions and will afford all the luxuries of modern railroad travel. .The train will be drawn by an’ improved Pennsylvania engine in charge of one of the most trustworthy engineers of that road. A crew of twenty-six men will be required - to run the train, which, as it stands, repregents a cost of $150,000.
