A Contemplate Insinuation.

Says the New York Herald of the 9Th
inst:
Though it may not be generally known, 1t is n
fact, which General Logan, while seeking the sol
ders' vote might perhaps keep in view with profit
to himself that Chapter V, Article TX, Rules and
Regulations Of the Grand Army of the Republic,
excludes politics. The article reads: :" No officer
or comrade of the Grand Army of the Republic
shall in any manner use this organization for par
dsan purposes, and no discussion of partisan ques-
tons shall be permitted at any of its meetings.
shall any nomination for political Office be made"
Precisely; and General Logan, one of its
first Commanders-in-Ch Chief would be the last
man in the world to sanction or justify any
attempt whatever to drag the Grand Army
into politics The insinuation of the Herald
that he meditates such thing is false and
contemplate, and shows how little it appre-
ciates or understands the spirit which ami
mate the members of that Order. But let
not such anti-soldier papers as the Herald
lay the fiattering JUNCTION to their souls that
because the Grand Army is pledged as an
NAN.NA W NtNfNC ~ VI
its members, as American citizens, to think,
speak and vote as they please is thereby in
the slightest degree impaired or abridged.
The bond of union between our veterans is
that of comradeship, and the Grand Army is
one only of many forms in which it has
found expression. Our veterans, whether
members of the Grand Army or not, have
just as much right to combine for the pro-
lection and advancement of their political
interests as the Greenbackers, or Anti
Mon0p0lists, Or knights of Labor, or any
other class of citizens, and they don't pro-
pose to be deferred from doing so by the
absurd imputation that they are using the
influence of the Grand Army to accomplish
their purpose That is a bugaboo which
does not scare them a particle. They will
take good care that the Grand Army does
not diyerge by SO much as hairs breadth
from the non-political course which it has
so far faithfully pursued, and that its three
fold objects of Fraternity, Charity and 10y
atty are steadfastly kept in view. They viii
be prompt and swift, we are sure, to rebuke
any attempt TO drag it down from the proud
position it to-day occupies, but those who
think that as individuals they viii remain
passive and Indifferent in the midst of a
great political campaign in which their
interests may be vitality concerned are
bound to be quickly undeceiyed.

The Essentials of Business Success.
One of our youthful contributors write
us as follows:

us as follows:
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
/ am a lad of sixteen. and am now attending the
hg school at this place. AT the end of the term
shall have to set about earning my own living but
/ cannot make up my mind whether to learn
trade obtain position in some business house or
study for some profession. / am strong for my
age, stand pretty well in my class, and am not
afraid of work but have no decided preference
for any particular employment. Can you not aid
me in arriving at a decision? RALPH .
OF course, without more definite informa-
ton than our young friends letter affords,
it would be impossible for rs to say which
of the many desirable occupations that are
open to him he would be likely to find most
congenial and, indeed, where lad displays
no special aptitude for any pursuit, there is,
perhaps no other way to determine the
question than by actual trial But this
we can say to Ralph, that no matter what
trade or business or profession he engages
in, he will find the conditions of success
pretty much the same in all, and if he care
fully complies with these conditions he is
almost certain to attain the object of his
ambition. It is not at all necessary that he
should possess what is indiferently called
genius OF talent, for. as President Garfield
once said, If the power to do hard work is
not a talent, it is the best possible substitute
for IT," and the ability TO do hard work is
entirely the result of persistent and studi-
Gus application. Our youthful correspond
ent, therefore, need not indulge in any idle
speculation on that score. Having laid, as
we infer, the foundation, at least, of solid
education, he viii in any event begin his
career under much more advantageous cir
cumstances than many an American lad
distinction. Before adopting any occupa-
ton, however, he ought to carefully CON
slider the sacrifices it vii exact of him. In
this county there are possibilities of fame
and honor IN almost every legitimate pur-
suit, whether mechanical, commercial, or
purely intellectual, but it is also true that
but comparative few of the number who
enter these pursuits attain this possible
eminence, except after years of self-denial,
hard work, and indomitable perseverance,.
But, his choice once made, Ralph will find
the conditions of success, as disclosed by the
experience of others, easy enough to distin-
guish. First of all co les economy The
basis Of ali wealth is the savings of labor,
and it is the testimony of all successful

present delay in the Pension Office and thus afford
our comrades the ong-sought-for and promised

probably have the effect of suggesting to our

Of inquiring whether, under existing law, it

The Hope of the Republic the Patriotism of It's Sons

At San Antonio Tex, the Memorial Day
services were in charge of E. o. C. Ord Post,
and Hon. j. p. Newcomb delivered the ora
ton. 1t was remarkably eloquent, patriotic
and sensible, as the following extract shows:
How important it is, in view of the possibilities
of the future, that our Nation should become so
strongly bound together by the sentiment of 10y
atty that il viii remain mistaken amidst the crash
of Old World governments. The sentiment of 10y
atty to our Republican form of government, of
patriotism III its broadcast sense, not confined TO
locality section, should be taught to every child
The mother should rock it in the cradle the father
illustrate il at the plOw handle the work bench
in field and shop, counting house and store. IL
should blazon out upon every page of every school
book; the hope of the Republic rests in the patriot
ism of its coming generations would not that
the boy whose father wore the gray should learn
to hate his sire, but to love him for his manhood
and take example from his error never 70 harbor
thought of treason against the Government. The
pride of the citizen IS IN the Republic not in
fragment of the Republic. II rises above locality
and embraces the Nation; it sees in the flag the
emblem of nationality and unity not of CliscorCant
elements and warning sections, and loosely bound
StateS-it was educated contempt for the
Federal Government that made treason feasible in
the South; an educated admiration for the Federal
Government viii make treason impossible North

Blood Will Tell.
[From the Eastmau Times


There was a large hawk that made it his
business to come and take off one of my small
chickens each day, and on hearing my chick
ems give the weilknown alarm a few days ago,
] ran out only to see the hawk fly up with a
chick in his claws, closely pursued by my game
rooster which, when the hawk had lit, fell
upon him, tearing out and making the feathers
fly at such rate | could neither see hawk nor
chicken, when moment later the hawk fell to
the ground dead, being spurred through the
heart. When chandeliers triumphant notes
Were heard he was growing over the body of
his fallen victim, at least 125 feet from the
ground, in the top of yellow pine, from which
he few to the ground, tapped his wings,
crowed, and walked of with an air of perfect
satisfaction

THE Memorial Day address at San Anto-
Mo, Tex. was delivered by Postmaster
James Newcomb of that place. It was a
most eloquent Grafton, brimming over with
patriotic feeling and free from any harsh or
unkindly allusion to our late antagonists,
yet it appears to have given great offense to
the San Antonio Daily Times, which seeks to
di5tort its meaning and convert it into a
malignant attack upon the Southern people.
Surely that is poor and shabby return for
the practical aid which so many of our COM
rades Of the Grand Army have cordially
rendered in raising the funds with which to
build home for disabled Confederates sol
diers. The. sober Judgment of the Texas
people must condemn, we are sure, such a
willful miseonstruction of sentiments that
were alike worthy the author and the
occasion.

coaRADE a. B. STRAW, Ansonville, Pa,
writes us: believe it to be the duty of
every soldier to subscribe for TIE TRIBUNE
and support ii just as he did his country in
its hour Of perl, and for the reason that it
needs a paper like TIE TRIBUNE to teach
the American Nation what it owes 10 the
men who shed their blood, and sacrificed
their means and healthin its defense" There
is sound sense in this suggestion. The cir
culation Of TIE TRIBUNE among all classes
Of citizens would go far towards building up
3 wholesome public sentiment.

men that the habit of saving cannot be
acquired too early. Ralph will do well,
therefore, from the start, to practice self
denial No matter how small his earnings,
he should so regulate his expenses as to
bring them within his income. 1t has been
truly said that no man, whatever his fortune,
is really rich whose desires exceed his means
of gratifying them, and the converse is
equally true that no man is poor whose
earnings, however slender, are more than
sufficient to meet his wants. Ralph has
only to look around him to discover why it
is that so many men who have the ability
to succeed in life do not prosper. He will
see clerks with small salaries wearing ex-
pensiye clothes, indulging in costly amuse-
ments, and in general living beyond their
INCONSISTENCIES in debt, and therefore
always in position of dependence-and if
he is wise he will make up his mind to live
for the future instead of the present
The second essential of success he will
find to be persistence Whatever he under
takes, let him stick to it. It is an old say
ing that 6 a rolling stone gathers no moss" "
but it is palmer way of putting it, per-
haps, to say that it is better to be proficient
in some one branch of industry than to have
smattering knowledge of all. He should
resolve, therefore, to master all the secrets Of
his occupation, whatever it is, no matter
what personal sacrifice that may entail. As
civilization advances, competition between
labor, both manual and mental, naturally
becomes keener, and it is thoroughness of
knowledge that marks the difference be-
tween the master workman and the mere
plodder.
The third and most essential condition of
success is personal integrity. It may occur
to our young friend Ralph, as he thinks the
matter over that some men succeed in life
in spite of this condition, but he will find
that in nearly every case their gains have
been acquired at the cost of self-respect, if
not of public esteem. Can any one in this
world commit dishonest act and not suffer
directly or indirectly from the consequences?
We do not believe it. The dismal record of
domestic arrangements of family quarrels,
and suits at law, disproves it. And even
though temporal misfortune should not over
take the possessor of ill-gotten wealth, has
any one yet discovered way of appeasing
an accusing conscience? No, Ralph, do not
let the stories of great wealth acquired by
stock obbing operations, by railroad wreck
ing, or political chicanery, turn you from
your purpose. Honesty is not only the best
policy, but the only one that is consistent
with honor, and, however strongly you may
be tempted, always remember that while it
is possible to recover the esteem of the
world, the loss of retrospect is irreparable
Economy, persistence and honesty-if you
possess these essentials you need not despair
of success in any calling.
