About General Shields.
The story is going the rounds of the
press that the venerable General Shields,
at the age of eighty-two years, is living
on a little farm in Ohio, in abjectly des
titute circumstances. There must be
some mistake about this. Unless we
greatly err congress some years ago i
granted a pension of $30(10 a year to this
old hero of two wars. If be is in the
receipt of such a pension it follows that
lie cannot be living in poverty unless
lie is such a poor manager that he can
not manage to exist on a dead sure in
come of nearly $9.00 a day. If General
Shields is not receiving a liberal pension
from the government congress should
grant him one at once, even before the
present session closes. He rendered
splendid and efficient service in the war
with Mexico and later in the civil war.
Why, if only the wounds he received in
battle were taken in consideration Gen
eral Shields would be entitled to a pen
sion of no mean porportion, but in such
a case the distinguished service render
ed the country should also be considered.
General Shields is one of the few heroes
of two wars now living, and he is also
the only American citizen who has had
the honor of representing two different
states in the United States senate. If
this old patriot and soldier is not amply
provided for, such provisions should be
made forthwith. But we think there is
a mistake about his being in destitute
circumstances.
The above clipping is from the
Rroyrm, and was sent to the TRIBUNE by ,
a resident of Freeland, with a request
that the history of General Shields' life
be looked up. According to several
biographies in this office we find that
the article is correct, so far as it relates
to his war record and his services in the
senate. We are, however, unable to
verify the statement that he is in desti
tute circumstances in Ohio, as the brave
old general died at Ottumwa, lowa, on
June 1, 1879, and if he is in need of help
it is not within the power of congress to
grant it. The following is a biography
of his life as it appears in the "Annual
Cyclopa-dia" of 1879 :
General James Shields was born at
Dungannon, Tyrone county, Ireland, in
1810, died at Ottumwa, lowa, June 1,
1879. He emigrated to the United States
in 1820, studied law, and commenced the
practice of his profession in lvaskaskia,
Illinois, in 1832. He was a man of tine
personal presence, and possessed a rich,
sonorous voice, which he knew how to
use to advantage. His manners were
pleasing and cultivated, and there was
an attraction about him which made it
an easy matter for him to become a
leader in anything in which he took a
part. Much of the success of his life
resulted from this gift. In 1830 he was
elected to the legislature from Randolph
county, and while at the capital made
the acquaintance of Stephen A. Douglas,
Abraham Lincoln, John J. Hardin and
others of subsequent distinction. In
1839 he was elected state auditor, in 1843
was appointed a judge of the state su
preme court, and in 1845 commissioner
of the general land office. When the
war with Mexico broke out he was ap
pointed a brigadier-general by President
I'olk, and was assigned to the command
of the Illinois Volunteers, lie served
under General Taylor on the Rio Grande,
under General Wool at Chihuahua, and
under General Scott at the capture of
the City of Mexico. At the battle of
Cerro Gordo he was dangerously wound
ed by a ball passing through his right
lung and barely missing his spine. After
his recovery he was engaged in the bat
tles around the city of Mexico. At Cha
iiultepec he was more seriously wounded
by a ball in his stomach, and in recogni
tion of his services he was brevetted
major-general. In 1848 he was appoint
ed by the president governor of Oregon
territory, which ollice he resigned to
accept that of United States senator from
Illinois, lie served until 1855 and after
ward took up his residence in Minnesota,
and upon its admission as a state in 1858
was elected senator for the term of two
years. He then removed to California,
where he remained two years and mar
ried the wife who survives him. In
18(11 he was commissioned a brigadier
general, and joined the right wing of the
Army of the Potomac. At Kernstown
and Port Republic he came nearer de
feating General "Stonewall" Jackson
than any other Federal general ever did.
He resigned his commission in 1803 and I
settled in Wisconsin, hut soon after re
moved to Carrollton, Missouri, where'
he resumed the practice of his profes- I
sion, and served as a railroad commis
sioner. In 1874 he represented Carroll
county in the legislature, and in January,
1879, he was elected by the legislature |
to serve out the unexpired term (six j
weeks) of the deceased Senator Bogg. I
On his return he was tendered a recep
tion at Jefferson City, which took place
in the hall of the house of representa
tives. lie made a lengthy and very I
successful address. With the exeption
of an occasional lecture or address to as- 1
semhlages of private citizens, he after-(
ward remained in retirement. 5
The Cane of Private Lay,
Hero is the way the New York World
comments upon the caso of Frank Lay, |
of Wilkes-Bar re, who deserted from the '
Ninth regiment at Homestead :
If there be heart or consistency in a
court-martial, the one that is to try
Private Lay will look leniently upon
his offense.
Private Lay was in love. He was to
be married soon to his "best girl" and
he wanted to see her. So he deserted.
Who wouldn't?
If Private Lay had not wanted to see
his best girl he would have been unfit to
be called a soldier. If he had not been
willing to risk and suffer much in that
laudable endeavor he would have been
unworthy to wear a uniform.
"Love and War." These have al
ways been coupled together in adage
and in song, to say nothing of practice.
They are one. "The bravest are the
tenderest, the loving are the daring,"
sings the poet, and by daring to run
away from camp to see his sweetheart
Private Lay proved himself to be of
"the stuff of which heroes are made."
Shall a court-martial then—a court
composed of men gallant in love and
war—condemn him to any punishment
that shall lower him in the eyes of the
maiden whose charms lured him tempo
rarily from duty? Shall such love as
his—the love that dares—be punished
I us a shameful thing in a military organi
zation where daring is the highest of
I virtues?
Discipline must be maintained, of
course, but justice must be considered.
To punish Private Lay in any ordinary
way is to inflict suffering upon the girl
who loves him, and that were not only
to punish the innocent, but to make war
upon a woman, which no true soldier
over does.
A punishment at once exquisite and
free from this objection may easily he
imposed. Let the court decree that for
a given time—to be fixed by justice
tempered with mercy—the offender shall
he kept in camp, while the handsomest
young man in the regiment shall go to
Wilkes-Barre and pay a daily visit to
that best girl. Private Lay will thus be
adequately tortured, while the best girl,
if she be of well-regulated, feminine
mind, will rather enjoy than deplore
the situation.
DEMOCRATS in all parts of the Union,
and thousands who are not Democrats,
will he rejoiceil at the action of the
West Virginians who have unanimously
renominated lion. W. L. Wilson for
congress. He is one of the ablest states
men in the country.— Record.
THE cheers which are heard for the
"Ilat and Rat" every now and then
from some remote part of the country
have a peculiar sound, resembling, for
all the world, the death-rattle of a dying
monster. American plutocracy, as
represented by the principles and plat
form of the Republican party, isdoomed.
THF. welcome given the TRIBUNE
during its brief existence as a semi
weekly lias been so much greater than
expected that the editor feels it his duty
to return his thanks to those of our
readers and subscribers and the editors
and correspondents of exchanges who
have greeted the change with so many
kind words and notices.
We suggest a good heading for our
Republican brethren to print at the top
of their columns, on campaign banners
and on their tickets, to enlighten Ameri
can workingmen. It is this:
NOMINEES OF THE G. O. P. 1892.
For president,
CARNEGIE HARRISON.
For Vice President,
PLNKERTON REIO.
Platform,
Bayonets at the ballot box; down with
organized labor.
Tho above is brief, forceful, easily
understood and eminently appropriate
in the present crisis, the result of the
policy favored by their party and nom
inees. Will our e. c's, act upon and ac
cept it? No charges.— Nexmdeuler.
A Valuable Foundling.
At tlie railway station of Fuento-
Palmera, near the town of Ecija, in An
dalusia, a man whose face was half con
cealed in a slouched hat approached the
station master and handed him a box
and an open letter. Then the mysterious
individual went away. The official read
the letter, which was without signature.
It simply informed him that he had just
received a present. He immediately
opened the box, anil was astonished to
find that it contained a newborn baby,
richly clad. * A switchman who was
present took pity on tlie little thing and
offered to adopt it then and there, and
the station master was glad to get rid
of it. The switchman took it home to
his wife. She was delighted with the
present, and while undressing it a letter
fell out of its clothing upon the floor.
This, like the one which tlie station
master received, was also without signa
ture. It was as follows: "Whoever
takes this child and careg for it will be
happy." When the good Woman's sur
prise was over she resumed the work of
undressing the baby. During the opera
tion a heap of bank notes fell from its
clothing upon the floor. Husband and
wife carefully picked up tho notes and
counted them. They footed up the
handsome sum of 125,000 francs. Now
the station master wants that baby, or
rather that money, but the switchman
won't give it to him, anil a suit is pond
ing in the Spanish courts.—San Fran
cisco Bulletin.
PROTECTION SLAVES.
MEN SHOT FOR ASSERTING THE
PRINCIPLE OF PROTECTION.
The First Readjustment of the Wage
Scale Since the Passage of the McKin- .
ley Hill, Which Wa to Keep Wage* Up,
Shows a Reduction of 30 Per Cent.
The rioting at Homestead is a most
deplorable incident of the great lockout
at that place, and is none the less shock
ing to the public mind that violence has
been expected as the almost certain re
sult of the quarrel between the iron- !
masters and their men. It was known 1
indeed that the iron mills had l>een con
verted into a scientific fortification and
that preparations were being made on
both sides for a siege, but it was not
thought that open hostilities would be
gin so soon or would be of so serious a
character.
It is a most remarkable as well as de
plorable state of affairs. In the very
center and heart of the great protected
industries—protected, as claimed, in or- I
der to enable the manufacturers to pay j
high wages to their employees—work- i
ingmen are shot down like savages by a
hired police for asserting the great prin- j
ciple which they have been taught is
the basis of our national wealth and
glory and resisting a reduction of their
wages. It is not the first time the pro
tected American workingman has had
to fight for living wages with the pro
tected American monopolist, who is his
special representative and friend in
congress and for a few weeks every
four years on the hustings, and it will
not be the last time.
He is the convenient medium and ex
cuse for imposing a fraudulent tax sys
tem on the mass of the people for the
benefit of a favored class, and he will be
wheedled and whacked, praised and
pinched, by turns, as occasion requires
so long as he can be employed to serve
the purpose he has served so well here
tofore. It is the pinching time at Home
stead now. The ironmasters, as we are
told by one of their organs, can well af
ford to have the works rest awhile just
now. It is the best season of the year
for a lockout. They determined to
make their fight now and have it over
and well out of the way before the pro
tection campaign should fairly begin
anew. If there is any shooting to be
done, this is the time to do it. Voting
time will come a little later, and it is
desirable to keep the two seasons as far
apart as may be. Of course the work
ingmen will grumble and protest and
plead—but that does not matter. Iron
can hold out longer than flesh and blood,
and the "white slaves" must come to
their masters' terms in the end.
It's the old story told over again, that
has been told so often since the war.
The protected manufacturers having
bought the presidency and filled con
gress with their agents and put the laws
they wanted on the Btatute books, are
settling again with their men. The
McKinley bill was passed two yeurs ago.
This is the first readjustment of the
wage scalo at Pittsburg that has occur
red since. The reduction of wuges of
the American workingmen at that place
—under the bill to keep their wages up.
etc.—is 80 per cent., and they are shot
down by hired guards when they try to
protect themselves from such protection.
It's the samo old story and it will have
the same old ending. Let no Demo
crat deceive himself into the belief
that the recent shooting will affect
the voting next November. The iron
masters know whom they are dealing
with. They have mastered them before
and they will master them now. The
men their detectives are shooting at and
shooting down voted for protection four
years ago, and will vote for it again this
year. They are the slaves of the monopo
lists—slaves body and mind—and there
is no help nor hope in them. They are
only fit now to work for the Carnegies
anil their class, unci they will work out
their miserable lives in their service.
The power of monopoly, we may hope,
will indeed be broken this year or soon,
but if an effective blow is ever struck
it will be by the farmers of the south
and west—not by the humble and poor
spirited "workingmen" of the east. —

—VnL World
Ho Hasn't Any Doubt,
Can Cleveland carry New York? Sen
ator Hill is on record ns saying that had
the campaign of four years ago been
prolonged a fortnight the ex-president
would havo won. The senator was
speaking in Albany two days after the
hist presidential election and he said:
"The principle of tariff reform has only
met with temporary defeat. Sooner or
later it will ultimately triumph in this
country. President Cleveland and the
Democratic party were right and de
served to succeed. The argument was
with us and two weeks longer of discus
sion would have given us the victory."
The discussion has now been going on
for nearly four years, and if the governor
of New York believed what he said then
ho cannot hqvo much doubt now con
cerning the triumph of the Democratic
host of next November.—Springfield Re
publican.
He'N Looking for Votes Now.
When Benjamin Harrison lived in In
dianapolis he could never find time or
inclination—he has never told which—
to attend the reunions of his old regi
ment; but now that he resides in Wash
ington, and is anxious to continue to re
side there four years longer, he finds
both time and inclination to come a
thousand miles for the purpose of greet
ing his old comrades in arms. It's
j really wonderful how the average Re
; publican's love for the old soldier re
j vives when he gets a nomination for
office!—lndianapolis Sentinel.
Two Hides to the Question.
Common people may well ask why the
tariff has everything to do with wages
when they are rising, hut nothing to do
with them when they are falling. They
may also be curious to know how it
comes to pass, the McKinley tariff be
ing skillfully adjusted to the difference
of wages between this country and
Europe (all Europe), that wages fall
here in spite of that delicate and benev
olent arrangement.—New York Evening
Post.
Wine Mr. Clark.son.
Mr. Clarkson urged the Carnegie peo
ple to arrange with the strikers so that
i the Republican canvass would not suf
fer. Tho contest might have been post
poned until Nov. 9. It would have
helped the grand old party and the men
would have been confronted with a long,
cold winter. It is surprising that such
strong arguments did not avail.—Kan
sas City Times.
Froteotrd Carnegie but Not Ills Workmen.
The Republican tariff protected the
Carnegies and their partners against the
competition of imported manufactures
and they became enormously wealthy.
It failed to protect Carnegie & Co.'s
workmen against the competition of im
ported labor and they continued poor.
! Dividends increased; wages went down.
—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
There Must lie Some Fire.
The squirming and the groaning nre
always done by those who are hit. The
unanimous howl of the Republican press
that there is no polities in the affair at
Homestead is ample evidence that they
are wringing their hands in grief over
the club which one of tho leaders of
their party lias put into the hands of
the Democrats.—St. Paul Globe.
Wipe Out McKiiileyism.
If the Republican policy of McKinley
iam is going to enrich a few men like
Carnegie, who will make such oppres
sive and murderous use of their power,
it is time to call a halt. Tlio only sal
vation for the lnasacs is to march by the
million into the Democratic ranks and
wipe out McKinleyism and the party be
hind it.—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Tliuu for a Chungs.
When a man like Judge (fresham.
not an alarmist, but a learned jurist and
dispassionate reasoner, expresses a fear
that existing conditions in this country
will lead to a bloody social revolution,
it is high time that those conditions were
changed and the threatened conse
quences forestalled.—Detroit Free Press.
He Will Contribute Handsomely.
The reduction of wages in the pro
tected iron and steel industries has got
Mr. Carnegie into some trouble, but out
of the saving made he will bo able to
contribute handsomely to the campaign
fund.—St. Louis I'ost-Dispatch.
I'urt of the Campaign.
Carnegie's friendship for labor is the
true protectionist feeling. Reid's tender
ness in the same direction is on view.
Platform and practice are part of the
campaign of education.—Kansas City
Times.
liy Compounding tlio Offense.
If all reports are true President Harri
son will got the support of Quay, Clark
son and Dudley by compounding the of
fense of which they are charged by Re
publicans.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Illinois No Longer Doubtful.
Considering the large number of work-
in Illinois who belong to labor
unions, it is not rainbow chasing to de
clare that the Democrats can carry the
state this year. —Kansas City Times.
The Party of Plutocracy.
The political forces of discontent are
working against the Republican party,
whose surrender to the forces of plu
tocracy is the chief cause of their activ
ity.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
An Appropriate Motto.
"High tariff and high fences." That
would make a good motto for the Re
publicans to placo on their campaign
banners.—Utica (N. Y.) Observer.
A Lesson in Protection.
Unprotected agriculture just now is
employing every available man at good
wages. Thousands of "protected" lab
orers are idle.—Kunsas City Times.
