Our politicians are constantly
clamoring against the untqual
destruction of wealth and un-
equal condition and opportunities
of men who our constitution re-
cognizes as free and equal. Sup-
pose we examine the example
they set. The President of the
United States is allowed a salary
of 50,000 a year and a mainten-
ance of perhaps three times the
amount or say the president costs
the government $200,000 annual-
ly. Soldiers in the army, men
who on orders risk their lives and
liberties to secure Sia per month
or $150 a year and a maintenance
allowance of perhaps as much
more. A major in the army get-
about 83000, a captain about
82500 and a lietutenant about
815(H) to 81800. Lxact figures
are not now at hand. In pension
matters tlu wives of dead gener-
als ami dead presidents, though
perhaps already wealthy receive
usually pensions «)f 85000 a year
and the wives of soldiers who«e
husbands were perhaps killeii in
battle, receive from about !>S.OO
to 812.00 per month and up to
$30, and are often very mueh in
need of even more. Congressman,
Judges, etc., get salaries beyond
the wage scale of any labor or-
ganization, and generally on a
scale of the corporate attorney.
If our demagogues will begin by
equalizing the salary drawing
capacity of all men it may be-
come cont igeous in other lines.—

The Washington Post says that
Col. Wood was full of anecdotes
and reminiscences in which his
friend, Charles Broadway Rouss,
figured very prominently .
"He was in the famous Black
Horse cavalry of \ irgina," he
said, "and they tell rne that he
fought like a tiger.
"That man, sir, is afraid of
nothing on earth. < >ne day he
was alone, a mile from any other
Confederate. Riding rapidly
around a bend in the road, he
suddently came upon seven Fed-
eral cavalrymen. These fellows
were taken by surprise, and be-
lieving that other Confederates
were coming they at once sur-
rendered and offered to give up
their weapons.
"D—n your guns!' shouted
Rouse. 'Give me your haver-
sacks !'
"The gallant Confederate was
hungry, and lie never thought of
his danger. Securing the haver-
sacks, he then took the weapons
of the seven Federals and made
them ride before hirn until the
Confederate camp was reached.
You enn imagine how they felt
when they learned that they had
been captured by one man."
