verge Of dissolution although, happily,
that result was ayested by the exclusion
of politics from the deliberations of the
Order, and no one now would have the
tesnerity to introduce the subject at a
Post meeting, and its subordination to
business purposes would just as surely
jeopardize its existence now. The Grand
Army, like Caesars wife, must be above sus-
picion. It must never be within the power
of anyone to question the purity of its mo-
tives or the sincerity of its professions, and
whenever the slightest disposition is mani

News from the Colnnander-ln-chiof.

Commander-in-Chief Van Dervoort has
returned to National Headquarters from his
tour of the Pacific Coast, and, with visit
which he contesnplates making shortly to
the Department of Minnesota, viii soon COM
plete the work Of his administration. lie
viii then have inspected every Northern and
Western State and Territory, Tennessee,
Georgia, North and South Carolina, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
Arkansas, and Indian Territory alone re-
manning unvisited Up TO date he has
Travelled 1896 miles in the discharge of his
duties, and delivered 1873 addresses in be-
half of the Grand Army. The figures tell
their own story-the story of great work
voluntarily undertaken and faithfully ac-
complished, without regard TO the amount
Of personal fatigue and discomfort involved.
The result, however, is SO great and glorious
that we are sure Comrade Van DeryooFt
feels well compensated for the extraordinary
exertions which he has made to build up
and strengthen the Order. SO far, 10000
badges have been issued from National Head
quarters since the commencement of his
term of Office, and acquisitions are coming
in at such rate that they cannot be manu-
featured fast enough. Since his return he
has created the Provisional Department Of
Arkansas and New Mexico, and so rapidly
is the Order spreading that by the 1st Of
July it is expected to organize each into a
permanent Department. AS he states in a
recent letter, " the gains are wonderful and
we are not surprised to learn that he is
"more than glad" His delight is shared by
nearly two hundred thousand comrades, who
are proud to be commanded by such an
intrepid and patriotic leader.

ARTICLE III Of Chapter L of the Rules
and Regulations of the Grand Army pro-
yiaes that No Post shall be named after
any living person, and that not more than
one Post in Department shall adopt the
same name, and that the name shall be ap-
proved by the Department Commander"
These restrictions.w wise though they are, make
it quite difficult sometimes for . new Post 10
select a suitable name, and any suggestions
on that head must therefore be welcome. It
has occurred to COMMUNICATIVE Chief Van
DeTvoort that it would be fitting tribute to
the memory of the late Postmaster General,
Timothy O. Howe, who was one Of the most
patriotic Of American statesmen and de-
voted friend Of the Grand Army, to name q
new Post in each Department. after him,
and the recommendation is one that meets
our most hearty appreciation, Mr. Howe
was one.of that famous group of war sena-
tors to whose steadfast devotion to the
Union was largely due the prosecution Of
the war to triumphant close and whose
services in the National Legislature were
doubtless more valuable to the country
than they could have been upon the field
His synpathies during and after the war
were always with the soldier, and it is but
fitting that his memory should be thus
embalmed by our comrades of the Grand
Army Which of the new Posts that THE
TRIBUNE has been instrumental in estab-
listing VIII take his name as the title of
their organization?

THE THEORY OF Protection.

These are the criticisms most frequently aud
eagerly urged against the new provisions So
far as they apply TO the position of the art stu
dent in America, they are valid and well wor-
thy of consideration. In all other respects it
would seem that the ordinary argument which
sustairs protective tariff should suffice to dis
pose of these objections. The theory underiy-
ing protective legislation assumes that, after a
limited time, the development of the protected
industry should produce home competition, ex-
eaiience and due cheapness. Tbis~ presapposes
the general conditions necessary 70 the deve,-
opinent of the industry. 1t would seem that,

A New Yorker told q little aneedote of

burt was, on one occasion, when poor fellow
who had not had . fat assignment for month
began to grow desperate and took his grievance
to the great proprietor himself. He made no
personal complaint but, obtaining hearing,
he proposed To Mir. BENNETT that it would be
more just 10 the men to pay them s. for an
assignment, even II nothing at all was written,
and then the usual rate OF Pf0 column il the
matter amounted to more than an item. The
reporter showed that he had been sent out
often and received no pay at all, either because
there was nothing found to report or because
after he had written it the matter was left out
Mr.. Bennett listened attentively and then
directed the city editor to discharge this man
ct once for making suggestions about matters
which concerned only the management of the
Office. He directed also that rule be estab-
lished in future that reporter should be paid

In other words, he adopted the plan proposed
by the man whom !ie discharged for suggesting
it, and this is the rule in the Herald office to
the present time.

DEFAMATION AND DRUNKENNESS.
another powerful foe to the Ark
of the American Covenant is defama
ton of character. Go back to the
time of Washington. Thomas Paine
writes him a letter and publishes it
and says, 'Treacherous in all private
friendship, hypocrite in all public
morals, the world will be puzzled to
know whether to call you apostate
or impostor, and whether you have
abandoned good morals or never had
any And that is an opinion of
George Washington by Thomas
Paine. From that day the shafts of
calumny have been levelled at every
public man. The men who wept the
most for Gar6eld's death are the
very men who wrote "329' on the
door step. There are newspapers in
the United States that in the great
elections take wild license for
liberty and are filled with calumnies.
Their editorial columns reek with the
calumnies they are stuffed with.
They breakfast and dine and sup on
indecency. They wallow as the
swine in mud. They would give
more for one quill of filth than for q
whole hogshead of decent profit.
They write with quilts not plucked
from goose but from a turkey buz-
zard. They tip the city sewers into
their editorial ink stand, and from
such q source who can tell from
what he reads for whom he ought to
vote?
"Anothcr powerful foe TO this Ark
of the American Covenant is the
rude and drunken caucus. The bal
lot don't give any chance for man
when the nominations are made in
the back part of corner grocery.
Men come to vote and find both
nominees so bad that they can't vote
for either, and have to throw their
votes away Christian men go
down and take possession Of the
caucus, first having. saturated your
handkerchiefs with cologne; go
down and take possession of the eau
Gus, though after you come back
you have to hang your coat on line
to disinfect 1T. You must
snatch the ballot box from such men
or it will be lost Politics have got
to be very low when a Tweed can be
sent to the Legislature and John
MorriSsey, the prince of gamblers,
to the American Congress at Wash
ington.
"How are these evils to be reliev-
ed? Some say by property qualii-
cation but [ reply that a property
qualification would shut out from
the ballot box great many of the
best men in the land. Literary men
are almost always poor. The pen is
a very good instrument to make the
world better, but very poor thing
to get living with. A property
qualification won't do, and the only
way to have these evils extirpated
will be to give more thorough le-
gal effect to the ballot box and a
more thorough education and Chris
tianization of the people"
