An Aged Twenty Dollar Bill
'A county judge down in Kentucky,
W. H. Prewitt of Danville, has in his
possession a $20 bill that has con
nected with a pathetic story of the
civil war. While gathering together
and arranging his personal effects, in
company with several friends one day
in June, he pulled from an old box a
$20 bill, yellow with age, and re
marked: "This must not be spent during my
lifetime.'
He then related the following story:

"Just after the battle of Perryville
I found two m young confederate sol
dierstwo boys, about 17 or 18 years
of age, lying woundee upon the Held.
I took them to my home, then in the
neighborhood of the battlefield, and
took care of them Tor several weeks,
until they had almost recovered from
their wounds. One morning a com
pany of Federal soldiers surrounded
my house and took us prisoners to
Danville, where they kept us for sev
eral days before taking the boys to
prison. When tho laas were about to
be taken away they 'gave mo this $20
bill for taking care of them. I re
fused at first, but they insisted that
I tako tho money, for it would bo
taken away from thorn anyway, and
I would just as soou nave it as any
body. I finally consented.- They gave
me the bill and bade me good-by as
they went to prison. That was forty
two years ago and r nave neither
heard nor seen anything of tho young
soldiers since, but I have kept this
money. Many times I have been broke
and in need of a dollar, but I never
had a desire to spend the bill. Here
It is; It belongs to them." New York
Commercial.
Amending The Platform.
William J. Bryan, in his sickbed
speech in the closing hours of the St.
Louis convention, virtually accused
Judge Parker of adding a new plank
to the democratic platform by his be
lated telegram, but since that time Mr.
Bryan appears to have made a few
additions to the platform himself.
The Commoner of July 15 prints
what it calls "the democratic plat
form," one paragraph of which is as
follows:
"We are in favor of the arbitration
of differences between corporate em
ployers and their employes, and we fa
vor a strict enforcement of the eight
hour day on all government work."
If this paragraph or anything to tho
same effect is in the democratic plat
form, either as it left the hands of
the subcommittee or as amended by
the full committee on resolutions, we
have not been able to find it This is
mysterious, and especially so in con
sequence of a reference to this plank
in an editorial on another page of the
Commoner, as follows:
"The labor plank is nearly all that
could be desired. It declares against
government by injunction; it favors
arbitration and the eight-hour day,
and denounces the methods that have
been resorted to in the Colorado strike,
but as these planks were added in the
full committee some uncertainty exists
as to the candidate's position." -
Mr. Bryan, it will be remembered,
was dangerously III when the conven
tion adjourned; and for some time
afterward, and it is only charitable to
suppose that this number of the Com
moner was edited at a time when he
was suffering from brain fever. There
Is no other way that we know of to
account for its misstatements and
vagaries concerning the platform.
There is not a syllable in the demo
cratic nlatform as teleirranhed to Chi
cago on the subject of arbitration in
labor troubles or about the eight-hour
day in government work. As to gov
ernment by injunction, the platform
is equally silent about that also unless
reference Is made to the indorsement
of the senate bill on the subject of
p.unlshing contempt of court, which
failed to pass in 1896. This bill pro
vided that no one should be punished
for indirect contempt in a federal
court without trial by jury, hut fell far
short of condemning "government by
injunction."
The last mentioned plank is like the
whole democratic platform an in
genious straddle on every important
subject, so constructed as to "hit if it
a n rlnnr and miss if it is 1 calf."
on it In the west and Mr. Shcenan an
opposite construction on it in tho east.
The last issue of Tho Commoner Is
prophetic of tho endless doublo en
tendre of the platform and tho cam
paign. Chicago Chronicle.
(loidcn Rule Jones"
The campaign speeches of the lato
Sauiv.cl M. Jones, mayor of Toledo,
are d'.-wMealy interesting. The follow
ing irj sample extracts:
"I do not believe that God Intends
that a man should havo to waste his
time looking for a job. Adam didn't."
"The government must get rid of tho
last vestige of aristocracy."
'Police courts are charnel houses for
the destruction of human souls. You
can not coerce people into righteous
ness." "The word 'gentleman Is becoming
intolerable."
"Borrowers of money arc life's real
derelicts."
"Political organizations are relics of
a savage state."
"The most pitiable object in the
world today is an idle man."
"So long as the capital crime of
capital punishment exists thero will
be murder."
"The golden rule is the law of action
and reaction in physics translated in
to morals."
"Men think there arc circumstances
whereTJhc can deal with human beings
without love, and there are no such
circumstances."
"I claim no privilege for myself or
for my children that I am not doing
my utmost to secure for all others on
equal terms."
