No Question as to the Firmness of Rates

No Question as to the Firmness of Rates.
AS intimated would be quite probable. the
more direct east-bound lines hold up their ton
mage since rates were braced up better than
some of the indirect lines. This has led freight
agents of the less favoredlines to make remarks,
which, while not directly charging that such
roads are cutting rates, say they are favoring
shippers in some way. The Chicago Times takes
the following sensible view of the situation. The
railroad editor says: "A good deal of nonsense
is being written about the possibilities of the
through trunk lines cutting rates and favoring
shippers, despite the contract that the heads of
those roads have entered into, and which pre-
sumably has been formulated and agreed to for
the express purpose OF RELOCATING to the past all
nf that sort of thing The Pennsylvania and
Vanderbilt roads are picked out and held up in
advance the probable offenders, and this pill
iorizing process is INDUCED in without the
shadow of a justification, the theory that they
are going to be dishonest being based on the
fact that they are through roads, and
ran conceal such practices if so in
clinsd. Just why they are through
roads any more than the Grand trunk or the
Baltimore d Ohio is not explained, or how they
will have more opportunities to practice these
elandestine methods than the last named is not
demonstrated. Now, the truth is that every
step taken by the officials of these roads evinces
an honest purpose on their part to fulfil the con-
dltlons o. the agreement, and In looking back
for period of nearly month since the restora
tion of rates went into effect, and before
anything of binding nature restrained them,
it can be truthfully said that rates have been
well maintained, so we'll in fact that lynx-eyed
rivals, suspicious and watchful, have been una
bic to discover any Irregularities the part of
competitors. This certainly is an indication of
honesty of purpose and self-control 1t is alb
surd TO believe with the light of past expert
enee. that the trunk-line presidents would DELHI
arately enter into such a compact as the new
trunk-line agreement, each with mental reserve
that he would break it as soon as the chance
offered, when the whole move was made to cure
this state of things

GEN. LOGAN'S ARTICLES.
To Begin About Dec. I.


Gen John 4. Logan is at last able to fix
approximately the date when he will begin
the series of "reminiscences which he has
promised the readers of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE This viii be on OF about Dec l.
We need hardly say anything to impress
upon our readers the great interest and value
these papers viii have. Gen John A Logan
has been a leading figure in American pub
lie lie through the most stirring period of
our history. He was a Member of Con-
gress IN the stormy DAYS that preceded the
war, and one of the leaders in a House of
Representatives that had in its membership
an aggregation of intellectual giants whose
names are household words AT the out
break ol the rebellion he entered the army
as 3 Colonel, but rose by splendid soldier
ship 10 the command of the Army of the
Tennessee.
Ills career in public life since the war has
been equally conspicuous and illustrious, and

MRS. sHERWOOD,s LYRICS.

The home of every veteran in the land
should be supplied with copy of the splen-
did volume of poems which has just been
published by Mrs. Kate B. Sherwood They
supply vacancy which has long been felt
in our war literature, and were at once
warmly welcomed by the veterans of the
saliid, touching as they did responsive chord
in the heart of every man who went forth
to do battle for the Union. 1t must not be
supposed, however, for a moment that the
circulation of this volume is confined to the
soldiery of the land, for wherever true poe

is appreciated, Campfire. Memorial and

reception.

THE GAR. WATCH.

A man may lose both fortune and reputa-
tion, and yet by industry, application and
thrift, combined with honesty, he may in
the course Of years regain both; but there
is one thing which, once lost, nothing in this
world can restore to the unfortunate loser.
That thing is TIME! Seeing, then, that this
loss is irreparable, it behooves every think
ing man to at once adopt means by which
such loss may be guarded against, and one
Of the first steps to be taken in this direction
is to Immediately become the possessor of
an accurate timepieee, by which he may note
and take advantage of the flying hours At
one time, and, in fact, until recently, the
outlay necessary for such an outfit was such
rs to put it beyond the means of many but
since THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has intro
duced the GAR. watch every man may
own a timekeeper which for accuracy and
reliability cannot be surpassed by one cost
ing several times the price In addition to
being valuable as timepieces, these watches
are quite handsome in appearance, the cases
being of solid nickel and the back bearing a
tasteful miniature of the GAR. badge ele-
gantly engraved.
When we assert that these watches are
within the reach Of all we make no ex-
ceptions no matter how stratened the
circumstances Of the person may be; for, in
consideration of club of 10 prepaid sub
scribefs, we make a present of one. To get
up club of this number requires brt very
little exertion, as we supply sample papers
free to all who desire same, and few people
will refuse to pay 81 for a years subscription
to THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE when they see
the paper For $3.50 we send the paper for
one year together with the watch, and as the
price Of the latter alone is $3.50, we practi-
cally make present of the paper to each
purchaser of watch. Whoever has already
sent in his subscription can get the watch
by sending in $3.50 more. Remember that
if upon receipt and examination the watch
is not found to be just as represented, it can
be returned at our expense.

OPINIONS ON GRAND ARMY RULES.

Comra6e d. J. E. submits case covered by .ha

This is a question that no oneean well answer

the exact point presented.

have heard men say that no one ought to be
kept out because of bad habits; that in the asso-
Citations OF the Post room he must lie benefited and
may be reformed. This would mean that the mere
act of joining the G. AR. would have a deeper in
huence such a man than love for wife or family;
than desire to attain and keep the respect Of rela
tions and friends. and doubt greatly if any one
knowing the power of the drink habit can seriously
consider the suggestion for that reason
would not say, and do not believe, that a man
who occasionally drinks, or who at times forgets
himself and goes spree is to be kept out of the
Grand Army; but man who. to crafty his own
appetite, permits wife and children to suffer- is an
unfit Elan to join the Grand Army. He can have
no influence whatever that would in any degree be
of the slightest service to our Order, while his
joining the GAR. would be positively detrimental
in the opinion of the outside public-that part
whose good opinion we need. The only way to
benefit such one is to tell him plainly that while
he continues his bad habits he cannot enter the
ranks of the Grand Army. No man can be wor-

Uncle Sam generally furnished S with plenty
OF cofee-roasted and unground-but did not
supply him with a coffee-mill. 81 thought at
first that the Government had forgotten some
thing. He saw that several of the old veterans
of 81 had coffee mills, but he found on inquiry
that they had been obtained by confscation
only. He determined to supply himself at the
first opportunity, but in the meantime he was
obliged to use his bayonet as a substitute, Just
as all the rest of the soldiers did. The cut
shows how he did it:
We regret to say that 81, having thrown away
his g Bakers Call to the Uneonverted in his
first march, and having allowed himselfto forget
the lessons he had learned but few years
before in Sunday y-school, soon learned to play
poker and other sinful games. These, at night,
developed another use for the bayOnet. In its

Now is the time to do effective work in
gathering all ex-soldiers into the Grand
Army Posts. The next few months should
be rich In results to the muster-in roll of
every Post in the country. The work that
the Grand Army is Sloing in behalf of the
soldiers of the country and those dependent
upon them, is the grandest of any society's
or associations in the Nation, and it is one
which every honorably- discharged soldier
should take part in and bear his share Of
