Matter of Interest to Members OF the
Grand Army of the Republic.

A Matter of Interest to Members OF the
Grand Army of the Republic
A few days since subcommittee of the Grand
Army of the Republic met the general passenger
agents of the Pacific coast roads at the Palace
Hotel San Francisco to talk over transporta-
ton matters It may be remembered that after
the late meeting of the Transcontinental Rail-
road Association at ST. Paul a circular was
issued by it relative to the Grand Army encamp-
ment at San Francisco next year. fixing the
price of tickets, the length of time for which
they would be good, and designating those who
were entitled TO purchase them. This circular
however, not satisfactory to the members of
the Grand Army of the Republic, and according
ly a conference with the leading railroad men
was determined upon to see if some concessions
could not be obtained. At this meeting the
views and wishes of the members Of the Grand
Army were expressed by number of the com
rades, when Mr.. Goodman, speaking for his rail-
road and others, said that the concessions asked
as to the price of tickets, their duration and
those to whom they would be sold, would be
granted The definite terms will appear in
another circular from the Transcontinental As
ISOLATION. and it is understood that it will permit
all members of the Grand Army of the WON
ans Relief Association and kindred organiza-
tons taking advantage of the reduced rates,
which will be about $50 from New York to San
francisco and return, and will allow a prefer
ence OF route as well as an extension from sew
enty 70 probably ninety days.

THDNDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is rec
ognized everywhere as the leading newspaper
of Indiana. No proper expense is spared to
maintain this undisputed excellence and to
increase the value and interest of the paper.
THE JOURNAL was never SO well equipped
to serve the public. Our arrangements for
the collection Of the news of the day ara more
complete than ever and we have added soma
special features which must enhance the pop
ularity of the paper.
THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Tndi-
ana that prints regularly the full reports Of
the Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever, covering tbs
whole world. These dispatches are supple
mented by the work of special correspondents
at all the principal cities and towns Of tbs
State and Of the county at large We have
special resident representative at Washington
City, who looks after the news of the national
capital with vigilance paying particular at
tention to that which most nearly concerns
THE JOURNALS constituency. The full
est and most reliable intelligence from Wash
ington will be presented in our news columns,
free from party bias, impartially, and without
restraint.
Editorially THE JOURNAL is Repus-
liean paper, believing in the principles and
general policy of the Republican party; but it
recognizes that the day of blind party organ
ship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly
free to criticise and condemn, but in spirit
and with a purpose for good, having proper
regard for personal rights and regulations.
The citizen, whatever his political faith, can
be assured of seeing in the columns of THE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
of the news, and in it's editorial columns such
comment and structures as will command his
respect if they do not meet his approval. Ii
may also be said that THE JOURNALis pub
lished as FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 1t rec
ognizes that the women and the children are
to be instructed and entertained. They viii
always find in its columns matter specially
prepared for them, while the paper will be SO
conducted as to prove welcome visitor in the
household. The news will be presented in
such shape as to minimize the evil and it's
editorial and local columns viii be kept free
from moral faint.
The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL Is
admittedly the freshest, fullest and most aceu-
rate printed by any newspaper in the country.

In a recent lecture VI. I. \. Cover
asked the question, Could armies, forts
and arsenals be seriously assailed from
that quarter in which attack was not
now expected-the air above? His
belief, from four years Of study and
observation, was in the Affirmative. and
As a means to that end he proposed
simply to transfer to the upper levels
the general plan of torpedo warfare
upon a larger scale and with its effec-
tive range Indefinitely extended. The
term "air t~orpedoes,' did net quite de-
scribe his system. and he had used
rather the term ''air battery" to de.
scribe the force he proposed should be
used in aerial warfare. lie suggested
that by the means Of aerostats eXplo-
sions Of 100 pound shells Of gun cot
ton might be arranged over the enemy's
position. Summarizing his proposals,
the lecturer said: I'm brief, [ propose
to you a warfare by gun cotton and
hydrogen, to make the loss of an army
a result of its meeting an opposing
wind, to destroy the security of forth
fed positions. and finally to show, upon
the simplest principles of self-preser-
walton, that nations must keep peace
and great armies be disbanded."
