TIIKODOUE COOK:

KKl'l.Y OF GENEHAT IIAXCOCK. GOVKHXOU'S ISLAND, N. Y., Sept. 2:3,1880. To TIIKODOUE COOK, ESQ., Cincinnati, Ohio—JJrar

Sir:

Avay

Your letter of the ~0th

jnst. has been received. I regret that you arc disturbed about that bugbear, "Southcm War Claims." The people can not be misled by it. To suppose that "rebel claims," or claims in the interest of persons who were in rebellion, can in any

or in any degree be countenanced, is an imputation of disloyalty such as used to be made against Democrats, even when tliey were in arms defending the country. So far as it touches me, 1 denounce it. The Government can never pay a debt, or grant a pension or reward of any sort for waging war upon its own existence nor could I be induced to approve or encourage payment ot such debt, pension or reward. Nobody ex pects or wants such unnatural action. To propose it would be an insult to the intelligence and honor of our people. When the rebellion was crushed, the heresy of secession, in every form and in every incident, went down forever. It is a thing of tho dead past, We move forward, not backward. If I were President^ I would veto all legislation which might come before me, providing for the consideration or payment of claims of any kind for losses or damages by persons who were in relellion, whether pardoned or not.

In relation to the Union War Chums' the Government's obligations to its do' fenders come first. They are lasting and sacred. The public laws of civilized nations do not recognize claims for injuries to property resulting from the operations of war. Nevertheless, our Govern ment has treated with great indulgence the claims for losses and damages suf lered byUnion men from thefmilitary ope a tions of the war of the Union. But the hostilites were closed more than fifteen years ago, claims of that nature, now mostly in the hands of brokers or persons other than the original sufferers, are becoming stale, and, in my judgment, might fairly be considered as barred by the lapse ot time, and if hereafter entertained at all, should be subjected to the strictest scrutiny. Your*, verv truly,

Catching up the children one by one from the beds he threw them out of the door. They were all got out in this way. The courageous boy, this being done, tried in vain to save some of the household goods, but without avail. All he did save of the burning dwelling was a shotgun which was leaning against the wall and which burned his hand badly when he grasped it. It was loaded and he threw it out of the room. His sister tried to get down from the wall a picture of her father. The glass had cracked and broken with the heat. In attempting this her night clothes caught fire and she was badly burned before the flames could be put out. The whole house then burned down. It is supposed that the chimney, which was what is known as a slicking clay chimney, caught fire first and communicated the flames to the roof. Standing thus in the night, houseless and almost naked, these frightened children watched the fire destroy what they could not save. They then in the chill and deeper dark of the late night made their way through the fields to the home of Mrs. Liston. After that Dan visited the neighbors, and finally told his mother of the calamity that had befallen them, a^l of the narrow escape tlicy had had from death.

Mrs. Heck is a poor woman, and the loss will be a serious one. The escape of her children from death is, under the circumstances, marvellous.

THE EXTORTION OF TEE 'POOL*.

w&*«,?-

A Matter of Interest Here in Terre Haute. fho'Eilifot of thoGAZKTTB:

It has actuallv come to pass that rail roads, instead of being the servants of the people, are their masters. Instead of performing aservice for whatjthftjsei*vice|is worth, in all caaefi possible they extort more than its value. Nor does com petition save the people from their unjust exactions for the modern system of pooling breaks the force of competition. Several lines of railroads may enter in the city, but, no reducUon is made in, the rate of transposition. TEven the citizens of a, town may have, strairfed their resources {o secure competing lines—may have built the roads for the extortioners who manage them—and when they get them the pooling business keeps up the rates, and they are no better] off in respect to cheap transporation,than they were before !{hey "subscribed"their money. Although people build them for their convenience, hhey are usually run in the interest of a

Unfortunate Mismanagement on the vrho soon become gjrged by the great power given them to wring money from the community. It may be said that tlie people built all the railroSds in

Ttie grand Democratic rally at Indiantpolis to-day is another whale. Every rain is bringing in people. The Terre Haute delegation expected to go ria I. & St. L., a very low rate, $1.25 for round trip having been obtained. The arrangements were completed by Mr. John Regan, the very efficient committeemen who advanced the money for 225 tickets, which number was thus guaranteed. Yesterday after noon the ticket agent here, Mr. Ed. EBarton received a telegram from St Louis, instructing him not to sell any Mm ore tickets as it would be impossible to get coaches for more than about 200 peo pie. He made every endeavor t0

Kino Small CMIdrpu in t'4c House at the Tims—£ Narlow Escape-

A report of a very tlihtrc^oiu/: lire which came near proving a dreadful tragedy was brought lo the 0%vvErn this morning byilr. (Jcorge 3IcGuire. It ]ia[)pcMcd thin morning in his neighborhood. He lives about tu mite south of the city on the Sullivan road. A child of James Dowans died yesterday morning. Last night Mrs EliKa Heck, a widow lady, who lives oa the John V. Carr farm, and Jfrs. Hanna Lbton, al-o a widow lady sat up with the Corpse. It. will lie understood, that these house* at" in a cduntry neighborhood .aad situated Irom,a h.alf mile to a mile from one ano'her. Mrs. Liston is lie mother ot four children, all small. Mrs. Heck is the mother of live children, the oldest of whom, Dan, is a boy 1(5 years of ages When their mothers went yesterday to the Dowans place allthese "children were in Mrs Hecks house in charge of Dan aad his sister next votmger than himself. Tho bouse is a frame one and small. The children all slept ni the one room. About three o'clock this morning one of the younger children awoke and found the whole room in a blaze. It screamed with fright md aroused them all. Dan jumped out of bed. The whole room was in llames and showers of burning embers were falling to the floor

their trade is hot Seriously aflectcd by this• discrimination in rates: anything hicli injuriously affects the whole&ule Irade of a city Jnuls theni. A city, now, without a prosperous .wholesale Ira 'c, is a tame afliiir.

To realize the embarrassment, under which- Tcrre Haute labors, all that i-. necessary is to study the discrimination in the ral.cn of transportation. The present rates ou first class freight, from ii^cw York to Indianapolis, 900 miles, in Tl cent« per hundred weight from New York to Terre Haute, !'T miles, 86* cent to St-. Lout^, l.U'7 miles, !i2 cents and to Danville, Ills., SiTS miic.s, 77 ccnts. It is IKTCeptible that freight is brought to Danville, Ills., for J) cents loss per hundred weight than to Terre Haute, though )tb places are equidistant from the.point of shipment and that St. Louis, considering the difference in distance, pets rates 24r per cent, below those of Terre Haute. Evansvillo freight is put down at Terre Haute for 77 cents per hundred weight, while Terre Haute freight is charged 8(5. N"oiv, if Evansville freight can be brought here for 77 cents, why cannot Terre Haute freight be brought for the same price. This shows the great injustice of the discrimination—shows what our wholesale merchants must overcome when they oiler to- compete with other cities. Besides injuring our wholesale trade, our citizens are robbed of 10 cents for every hundred pounds of first-class freight put down at our depot,

A few years ago Terre Haute was nxious to get "competing" railroad alines fromthe East, and strained herself to get them, but after she got them she discovered that they don't "compete." Terre Haute, after her great effort to se. cure for herself the advantages of other cities, finds herself reduced to the condition of a "way station" by the operations of the "pool." To indicate still further the injustice of this pool, firstclass freight is taken from Indianapolis to St. Louis, a distance of 238 miles, for 21 cents per hundred weight, while 15 cents is charged from Indianapolis to Terre Haute, 78 miles, for the same bulk. If St. Louis was charged the same rate that Terre Haute is, the price of transportation per one hundred pounds would be 46 cents instead of 21 cents, from Indianapolis. This show's how completely Terre Haute is in the toils of the extortionists. Enterprises, for whose completion she labored with great zeal and enercry, arc now used to "skin" her.

j,tn*4 Summer Complaint. *,.*•

"Paedotrophine" is the curiously classic name of a very simple compound known by the more intelligible title of "German Infant Meal," and as its use is becoming universal, and its claims as a substitute for mother's milk and a food for growing children arc now unquestionable,our readers will thank us for a brief reminder of its virtues. No one doubts that the milk of a young healthy mother is the best possible food for infants, and contains precisely the elements in exact proportions required to develop young children. But all mothers are not young and many of them are not healthy, and all are subject to nervous and mental emotions or diseases that deteriorate the milk. They then resort to all manner of substitutes, of which arrow root, rice, farina, flour, etc., etc., form part but as no attention is paid to providing the materials required for the young child it is either stuffed or starved, and the delicate little creatures are carried off by hundreds and thousands annually to premature graves, victims to ignorance of the lawsof life. The statistics of mortality by summer complaint alone is appalling. It has been a credits ble task of German Physiologists to go about the solution of this important problem scientifically, and in compounding the "German Infant Meal" (Paedotrophine) they have attained a real triumph in modern science. It is not sufficient merely to furnish a baby with the elements contained in mother's milk —-cow's milk, starch, sugar, and numberless sub stances, do that, but they must be supplied in the proper proportions, otherwise they will not nourish the thild, and the result is weak muscles, flabby puffy tissued, soft bones, and a low grade of vitality^ that falls an eay prey to all manner of infantile diseases* as teething, croup, whooping

cough, measles, and the like. Wet nurses

are

frequ^tiy unhealthy, and at all

times careless, unscrupulous and unreli-

able. Cows' milk alone is too rich in caseine and not rich enough in sugar for young infants and the milk obtainable in cities more unreliable as a single food than nurse's or mother's milk. All of these objections have been obviated by the addition of the elements contained in the "German Infant Meal" to a proportion of

A still greater ii if ha ii tioned, that perlaiu to unwl. jl-tome mother milk and nearly all of the substitutes. is their unpalatable nature, thai infants'are prompt to resent by nausea, diarrhea, restlessness, colics and costivcness, so that loving mothers are impelled to change the food frequently, often from bad to worse. This objection is also randly overcome in the "German Infant Meal," a nutritious, agreeable, palatable food easily assimilated, and. being always of uniform quality, not liable to the same coritin .rt r.cies. We co: .ratulale mothers upon thi. addition to the long list of infants' food, and think the German chemists have proved- thi mselvesbenefa.-tor to tho race.* The article is, we underhand, obtainable from all druggists.

mother will wear herself out and destroy Counties, Ind her child by persisting in nursing under such circumstances. But the annual records of infant mortality !by starvation points to the terrible fact that many thousands of infants are annually starved or stuffed into disease and death when a' properly nutritious food might have saved them. It is a subject of congratulation therefore that science lias at last been able to compound a substitute for mother's njilk in the "German Infant Meal," or "Paedotrophine."
