"There is likelihood of many vacancies
taking place soon in the postoffice depart
ment," was remark made by prominent
Nicollet avenue merchant yesterday. "On
what groundsan he was asked. "For incom-
potency and irregularity. hear complaints
almost daily. Some letters are a day or
two old before they are delivered. That is,
they lie in this Office that time. Again mail

A lumor has gained currency to the effect
that old Parker of the Fifth ward has his po-

TIE GAR. WATCH.

The watch now being manufactured by
the famous Waterbury Watch Co, Of Con-
necticut, especially for THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, is tir;ep;ece 10 one need be
ashamed to carry, although its extremely
low price might lead these who were uaac-
quainted with its excellent qualities to
suppose that it WAS some cheap pIaythiEg,
made merely fer sale. The watch IS both
handsome and reliable, and what more could
be asked for?
The means, too, by which one can be Sc
cured places it within the reach of all. Send

you with one Of these seryiceable watches.
Or for $3.50 we will send you watch and

HIS REAL NAME.

1t will interest all who have read the last
chapter of Uncle Daniels Story" and were
thrilled by the simple truth of the deyilish-
ness of some of the agents of the rebellion,
to know that the plot for burning the cities
of the North was formed precisely as Uncle
Daniel relates it, and that the moving spirit
in it was Prof Mccullough, whose real name
Uncle Daniel gives, and who was before the
war teacher of chemistry in the college at
Princeton, N. J. He was lost at sea, as
Uncle Daniel describes, and his secret died
with him. Those curious in the matter will
find the evidence concerning it on pages 81
and % of Report No. 104 made by the Judi
eiary Committee to the House of Repre-
sentatives of the 39th Congress, and bound
in the volume of Reports of the First Session
of that Congress.

DEATH OF "JOsH BILLINGS"

A very general and sincere regret will be
felt at the death of II. w. Shaw known to
the world as GOSH Billings" While travel
ing in California for his health he was
stricken with apoplexy at Monterey, Oct.
IA, and died almost instantly. He was born
in Massachusetts, in 1913. While but boy
he went west, reaching st. Louis at the age
of Is. By turns he was steamboatman
on the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers, farmer
in various States, and q rowing auctioneer.
In his wanderings he picked up much prac
tical knowledge of the world and of human
nature. He finally came to anchor in POugh-
keepsie, N. Y, but it was not until he was
As years of age that he developed any lit
erary taste or ability. He wrote comcal
sketch on the mule which was widely cop
led. It's success induced him to try again,
and in few years he found both fame and
fortune His literary work was of popu-
lar type, and not characterized by scholar
ship, depending for its success upon its
quaint philosophy and homely wisdom,
favored with keen Yankee humor and
clothed in very bad spelling The name of
"Josh Billings" has long been a familiar
one, from one end of the country to the
other. His writings yielded him comfort
able competence. He made $4,000 from
the publication, during the past few years,
of his Farmers Allminax," which had an
,1ormous annual sale. 1t is not often that
SO great degree of success is reached in a
literary career begun so late in life.

PARTICULAR ATTENTION.

1t is very essential to the soldiers of the
country that TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE's
circulation shall be doubled before the
beginning of Congress. There will be very
much of high interest to the soldiers in the
proceedings, and everyone who participated
in the war ought to be continually informed
of the progress of legislation, and as we have
said before THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is the
only organ and champion of the ex-soldiers
before the country and Congress and the
more names on its subscription list the
more strongly it can advocate their claims

we felt sure it would when the attention of
our readers was called to it. 1t is work
that should have prominent place in the

of one of the most desperate enterprises I'M
dertaken during the war. We offer this
charming book, which is elegantly bound
and illustrated, for q club of 10 subscribers,

SOLDIERS RIGHTS IN NEW YORK.

No cause was ever more firmly intrenched
in all the considerations Of justice, honesty
aud right than that OF the Union soldiers
against the politicians The veterans of the
war have no apologies to make. They are
not ncndicants. They ask no charity, no
f:Ivors. They simply demand that the ex-
plicit terms of the contract made with them
when they laid everything upon their
country's altar even to the supreme sacrifice
OF life itsclf-shall be carried ont.
No more sacred obligation can be imagined
than that which exists on the part of the
peole If this country toward the soldiers,
add particularly the thousands who, manned
il battle u partially disabled by disease, are
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1885-10-29

EX-sOLDIERs should encourage their
sons to join the Sons of Veterans, and
should give their own influence and
efforts literally in behalf of the Order. 1t
is beyond all doubt one of the very best
organizations in the whole country, and
the good work it is doing and will do is
measureless. Its restraining and directing
influence on the rising generation is of the
highest and best, and it will continue to
become more powerful for good as it in
creases in numbers and gains i'll experience.
Helping it is helping our own sons, who in
turn will become our powerful allies and
unfailing friends.

TIE NEW YORK CAMPAIGN.


According to promise, we give this week
the responses received up to the hour OF going
to press to the circular sent out by the Vet
erans' Rights Union to the candidates on the
State and Legislative tickets in New York.
1t is a showing that comrades everywhere
will and should read with great interest. We
expect that those in New York will be
strongly influenced by it in casting their
votes. They should do so, for no man is
worthy to receive a soldiers vote who is not
direct and unequivocal in his promise of
friendship for the soldier, and all laws and
measures intended to do him exact justice.
Now is the time to have distinct I'M
derstanding with every aspirant for pub
lie favor as to how he proposes to demean
himself toward the exsoIdiers. The way
taken by the Veterans Rights Union to
secure this understanding is admirable. 1t
gives all the real earnest friends of sol
diers an opportunity to put themselves on
record, and the emphasis Of their utterances
encourages the more lukewarm and admon-
ishes the Indifferent and hostile.
The soldiers of New York and the country
want nothing but what is right-nothing
but what was promised them when they
enlisted; nothing but what was during the
war acknowledged to be their dues by every
prominent man, every newspaper, every
public gathering and every Legislature in
the loyal States. It is entirely proper that
they should insist that the men to whom
they give their votes should promise to
fulfill these pledges of the country, and that
men who will not make distinct promises to
that effect shall not be voted for.
At the same time we want to caution our
readers. A candidates previous record
should be given some weight. A man who
should not be set aside now in favor Of some
elevcnth-hour convert who is profuse in
promises. Again, as we went to press on
Tuesday morning, it was impossible to get
responses from candidates who were not
then put in nomination, or who had been in
nomination but a few days. Comrades
should carefully keep this in mind in scan
ming the list of replies and deciding how
they shall cast their votes
We desire to reiterate here that friendship
for soldiers is the only platform we insist on
the candidates standing upon. 1t is mat
ter Of smaller Importance whether he be
Republican or Democrat, Greenbacker or
Prohibitionist, than that he be the soldiers
friend

And mighty a. lnarolc-bult Rome.

They are stained with tho footsteps and story
OF giants and battles well Won.

With Il lullaby hush But the land il

Beneath us a sea Of proud people
Move on undivided Is he.
Yea; strife is over and ended
For all the days under the sun;

Why, what would Ecf;ilI US, thiak you:

prevented from pursuing the ordinary voca-
tons of life. Very many of these men pos
sess all the qualifications Of ability and char
acter for discharging the duties of civil posi-
tons, official or subordinate. THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE stands squarely and firmly
on the principle that these men, if competent
to fill the positions, should be first preferred
against all others. To turn out and set adriit
for political reasons only, soldiers who have
secured appointments and faithfully dis
charged their duties, and to fill their places
with party strikers and heelers, cannot be
otherwise regarded by any just minded per-
son than fragrant injustice. We say this
ON principle, without reference to one politi-
cal party more than another.
We have heretofore spoken of and approved
the rigid honesty of the Government in its
dealings with the bondholders, and the strict
faith with which it kept all its financial OBJ
legations Whenever any questions arose
between the Government and its money
creditors, the latter were always given the
benefit of the doubt All its transactions
with them were characterized by the utmost
hberality, to avoid the very possibility of
any stain being left upon its honor. But all
these considerations were purely mercenary.
Men invested, and still invest, their money in
the bonds of the Government in order that
they may be assured safe and permanent
income. How much more, then should the
Government-or the people who constitute
the Government-when it may be done
without adding single penny to the public
burden, should extend its aid, so sacredly
pledged, to those who saved its very exist
ence. 1t was what they did that gave the
bonds their value; it was faith in tie soldiers
that induced the bondholders to lend their
money to the Government, and the soldiers,
too, invested something in the cause. 1t
was more than mOney-the best years of
manhood, health, limbs, life, everything.
Were not these at least an equivalent for
the money of the capitalist? And while the
bondholder clips His quarterly coupons,
should not the veteran soldier receive some
return from his investment, in the way of a
chance to earn his daily bread?
We cannot too strongly impress upon the
soldiers in New York that so far as they are
concerned this is the supreme issue. The
political success of parties or Of individuals
can be little to them, except as it may affect
the settlement of this question. The sol
diers should cast their votes only for such
men as are their true friends and show their
faith by their works. Whenever the polit
ical leaders find the soldiers touching elbows
in line of battle on this question, and under
stand that they mean just what they say,
they will recognize the wisdom-from die
tates of policy, if for no other reason-of
answering their demands by something
more than promises, lightly made and only
to be broken.

OBJ STREET, n. W.. WASHINGTON, d. c.,

To THE EDITOR: Bacteriopathy" as the new"
treatment above referred to is called, is hypoth
css Of Prof Arnaldo Can.ani, who set forth in the
British Medical Journal Of Aug. 90 1885, that he had
n case of a woman, ~ years of age, admitted TO
hospital April &C. 1885, with cavity in the upper
lobe of the left lung Limitations of the b0cteriu,n
termo were commenced, and he states that by June
l the tuberce-bacelli had entirely disappeared.
He was of opinion that there is future possibility
of finding hostile " microbe for every dangerous
one. AS his treatment has so far been confined to
a single case, it will be quite safe for tuberculous
patients to await further experiments before sub
jecting themselves to inhaatons of germ-laden
air, no matter how innOcuous it is alleged to be.
Truly yours, JOHN Il. HAMILTON.
