The War is Over.

1.-THE war is over" Ii is with this famil-
lar phrase that the enemies of the soldier
usually conclude their arguments against
pension and bounty legislation.
Yes, the war IS over. The Army of North
ern Virginia is no longer at Gettysburg
There is National Cemetery where once
the stockade of Andersonville stood. The
Stars and Stripes are flying to-day over the
capitol of the southern confedeIacy.
The war is over. The soldier has laid
aside the sword and is driving the plough
share of civilization straight across the con-
tincnt Elevators, choked with wheat and
corn, line the highways to the sea. The
smoke from thousands Of busy factories rises
to heaven like incense from the altar Of
peace.
The war is over. The Government has
resumed specie payments. The national
debt has been reduced more than one billion
Of dollars. United States three per cents are
at a premium, and there is a surplus of one
hundred and fifty millions Of dollars in the
Treasury.
The war is over. More than half a mil
lion immigrants landed on our shores dur
ing the past year. More than ten thousand
miles Of railroad have been built within the
last twelve months. More than six million
bales OF cotton have been grown in the South
without the aid of slave labor.
The war is over. The Nation has grown
great and prosperous. 1t is as if the war
had never been. Yet what it is, it would
not be, if the war had never been.
The war is over. For those who had 10
part or lot in that magnificent struggle for
the preservation of the Union-yes. But it
never will be- over for those who stood
shoulder to shoulder in the trenches. II
viii live in their hearts so ing as Memory
holds her sway and Patriotism has single
votary.
The war is over? Not so long as the dis
abled veteran is compelled to beg his bread,
and the widow and the orphan forced to live
on private charity. When this rich and
prosperous Government shall have dis
charged TO the full its debt to the soldier as

Thn Stnnernan Raid.

This expedition, which promised so much
aud accomplished so little, in proportion to
the loss sustained, is printed by permission
Of the writer from a manuscript copy of his
personal memoirs. Few cavalry officers had
IL more adventurous career than General
Capron.
The weight Of his sixty years sat so
lightly upon him that when he entered Ken
tucy ia the spring OF 1853 at the head of the
famous Fourteenth Illinois cavalry none
would nave placed his age at over forty-fye.
Brave as a lion, and always well mounted,
he rode his spirited steed into the thickest
Of the fight. His record before that which
we give in this number of THE TRIBUNE
had been full of adventures. With a detach-
ment of his regiment ne was one of the five
hundred to follow John Morgan in the
"race for life" of that noted raider from
Burlington Island through eastern Ohio to
near New Lisbon, where Morgan and his
followers were captured, a full account Of
which was given in THE NATIONAL TRIB-
NUE. in April last
Colonel Capron's turn to run for his life
took place after StOneman's surrender, and
those who follow him in his thrilling
narrative given in this and the succeeding
number, will wonder how he escaped with
his life.

making very wicked appropriations they
propose to relieve the poor bankers of various
petty taxes, which amounted for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1892, to $685. 58,
With The same object in view, they propose
to take the stamp tax off each bottle of
patent medicine, 70 relieve the proprietor,
who already makes about 400 per cent. on the
compound. 1t was proposed also TO abolish
the two-cont stRmp which is required on
each bank check, while perfumeries and
cosmetics we're to be relieved, which, to-
gether with patent medicines paid S2,OJO,o0o
revenue. Such proposition IS a means for
correcting an alleged abuse is little better
than childish. There is manly way to
meet the evil if it exists. Correct IT, Stop IT.
AS another reason why these taxes should
be removed, it is urged by a certain class Of
demagogues that it would relieve tho poor
people of burden Of war taxes, which they
should no longer bear. Let us BIO honest
about this. Would bottle Of medicine be
any cheaper to the people were the stamp re-
moved, or would 80 much more be added TO
the profits of the manufacturer?
Would the people find any more sympathy
or accommodation At bank were the bank
ers taxes repealed and over $5,OO0,O00 taken
from the National Treasury?
Would bottle of cologne be marked
down to the purchaser if the revenue stamp,
which now adhores to the cork, were abol-
ished IS q "Reminiscences of the war?
In conclusion, Congress win find ii easy
to follow the prevailing advice and make
the Government poor" The question is,
will il pay? Congress made the Govern
ment poor in few months in 1897 Did it
pay then?
VIII ID pay to bring misery and hard
times upon our people in order to effect a
questionable change in the financial policy

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE now goes to
s,056 pOst-ofices, embracing every State and
Territory of the Union, or to 1883 more
po5t-offices than it did Oh the first Of Sep
TENDER last. This is a very gratifying show
inc, for it proves that it's circle Of readers is
steadily and rapidly widening and its infu-
ence becoming more and more national. 1t
is not enough, however, that THE TRIBUNE
should be read at every post-ofIice in the
country. II should be read by every ex-
soldier at every post-ofice That is the
object Of It's ambition, and we appeal to our
subscribers TO aid Us in achieving it. If
they viii but prepare list of the ex-sodiers
residing in their vicinity, and take occasion
to make personal canvass for subscriptions
TO THE TRIBUNE, they viii find little diff
Guilty in accomplishing the desired result.
Now that the elections are over and there
is no longer anything TO distract tie atten-
ton of our comrades, We trust they viii all
turn in and help Us to take every veteran
into camp. Our ez.soldiers and sailors
should all be subscribers to TIE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE and all members Of the Grand
Army.

Battle OF Gettysburg.

The graphic pen picture of the defense of
Little Round Top, given on our first page, is
taken from an exceedingly well-written
book of pages, by Rev. Theodore Gerrish,
entitled, ARMY Life: A Private's Reminis-
cences of the War" Mr.. Gerrish particle
pated in the scenes he describes as private
in the Twentieth Maine infantry, and there
are few writers who have the faculty of so
claiming the readers attention. In the next
number Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will
be commenced complete history of the
Gettysburg campaign, compiled from official
data and containing much valuable in
formation never before given to the country.
The article viii be illustrated with maps,
engraved expressly for this paper, showing
the topography of the country in the vicinity
of Gettysburg, and the position of the con-
tending forces. This article alone viii be
amply worth q years subscription to THE

by regiments, giving the date when each
regiment was mustered out, and also the
date when each surgeon left the service. In
many cases soldiers have met with vexatious
delays in receiving their pensions, owing to
the incompleteness of the records in the
Surgeon-General's Office, whereby great diff
Guilty is found in establishing to the satisfao-
ton of the Pension Office proof of the origin
of disability. This work enables the appli-
cant in most cases to ascertain the address
of the surgeon under whose treatment be
may have been, and upon whose testimony
his long-delerred pension may be granted.
Those medical officers who have died are 50
reported in this roster, and the applicant is
enabled 20 at once secure such collateral
evidence to establish the cause of disability,
without wasting time in fruitless efforts to
ascertain the whereabouts of such an officer.
This work was compiled upon the suggestion
ofCommissioner Dudley, and isprepared from
various official records and other sources OF
authentic information. The publishers Of
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE win send copies
of this work for $3.50 each, postage prepaid,
or will present copy to the getter-up of
q club Of ten subscribers.

DURING the approaching session Of Con-
gress THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will devote
q great deal Of space 10 the publication of
news touching the character and status Of
measures affecting the interests Of our ex-
soldiers, and those who wish TO keep well
posted in regard to the work of Congress
should send us their subscriptions 1t once.
When we say that no veteran can afford to
do without THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE we

that the time is at hand when no veteran

SAID one of our subscribers lately in a
letter to the editor: a ara not soldier.
but THE TRIBUNE interests me deeply"
Such expressions as this are by no means
uncommon, and they indicate, not simply
that THE TRIBUNE is an interesting news
paper, but that outside of the ranks of our
veterans there is q large class Of people who
think as they do about questions OF pension
and bounty legislation. Indeed, as we have
repeatedly shown, it is great mistake to
suppose that our ex-s0ldiers are themselves
the only ones who are concerned in the
result Of the contest which is now in pro-
gress for the recognition o. their rights by
Congress. On the contrary, the people at
large are heartily in sympathy with our
veterans, and cen be relied upon to render
them substantial support when the occasion
offers. The only danger is that they VIII be
unduly influenced by the statements of such
unprincipled newspapers as the New York
Tribune, Sun and H,rald, and in order TO coun-
teract the effect of these reckless publications
it is, therefore, Of the highest importance
that the truths contained in THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE should be disseminated as widely
as possible. For this reason it is always a
cause of special satisfaction TO US TO receive
the subscriptions CT civilians as wen as ex-
soldiers and we hope our readers Will bear
this point in mind while engaged in the work
of canvassing. Il is the sinners, rather than

The Commnnder-in-Chiefs work.

It must by this time be apparent to every
body that in Comrads Paul VGnDergooTt
the Grand Army of the Republic has very
active, earnest, and enthusiastic Commander
in-Chief At the time of his election he
pledged himself to make q personal inspec-
ton of every Department, and that promise
he is faithfully carrying ont. He has already
made the tour of New England and the
Middle States and the enthusiasm with
which he has been everywhere received
affords ample evidence that his labors are
appreciated. Elsewhere in our columns viii
be found some account of his visit to the
Department of Ohio, and we give below his
appointments for Indiana where he is st
present:
Fort Wayne Thursday, November %;
South Bend, Friday, November "a;
Lafayette, Saturday, November IS;
Madison, Monday, November 81;
Evansville, Tuesday, November %;
GFeensburgh, Wednesday, November %.
Tuesday, of this week, Commander-in-
Chief YanDerv0ort was announced to spend
at Richmond, Ind, and yesterday at In
dianapolis. 1t will be seen that his en-
gagements are as numerous as those of q
stump speaker in hot political campaign,
bat his heart is in the work, and his
enthusiasm is likely to beget enthusiasm in
his comrades.

Special Gable Dispatch to Neac York SUM-
From all sides there come declarations
of pacific and amicable purport, The Rus
sian press is most courteous and friendly
to its contemporaries in Berlin; the latter
are full of suave explanations and express
sions of good will, while from Vienna
there are heard only surprise and regret
that the attitude of any European power
should be so unwOrthily construed as to
mean that its Intentions were warlike,
Side by side with these peaceful profess
tatiOns. however, are reports of
the most energetic military prepa-
rations on the part Of all
three countries. 1t becomes apparent
that for a long time no effort has been
SHARED to strengthen fortresses, to double
track existing railroads, to build new
ones and to move troops, Russia has an

callv in the field, because her movements
are naturally conspicuous, while Ger
MANY and Austria have in readiness their
two millions of bayonets. 1t all looks
very like war, and the Christmas season
in the Christian capitals of Europe is
oyershadowed by a dFead of impending
evil which the sophistry of official organs
cannot altogether dispel.
In the general obscurity, however, it
can be discovered that there is no disguise
of the Russian intentions as far as Austria
is concerned. In that quarter, at least,
there is nothing but implaoable hostility,
and only the German alliance has hereto
fore retarded an outbreak. The German
Chancellor awaited the definition of Eng
lands policy in Egypt to declare Ger
many's position, and it was at once appa-
rent that England must incline to Ger
MANY or abandon her pretensi0ns in
Egvnt. an understanding which has served
10 widen her breach with France, but to
inf her more at ease in respect to the i'm
eVitable resopening Of the Eastern
question. For a country so loaded

Germany is. a peace of ten years. dura-

member each other or dismember some

into which Europe is gradually resolving
Itself shall have settled their dlfierences,
IL will probably be found that the settle
