The National tribune., 1884-01-03

to bind the Posts of a Department firmly to-
gether. 1t would seem, with the organization
already in working order, that the project could
be inaugurated and carried into effect with but
little, If any, additional expense excepting the
81 assessed at each death. In short, it would
be life insurance in a moderate way, without
paying to keep UP an expensive corps of Officials
for the privilege.
Comrades IN Iowa, let us have your express
sions through THE TRIBUNE, so that if the
project is to be consummated, it may be done
at Marshalltown next April.
