GOOD NEWS.

1t is not often that paper can feel as
happy over the on-fuldllment of its pre-
dictions as THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE does
over the failure of its sad prophecy of last
week in regard to Gen. Sheridan.
When we went to press last week the
death of the General-in- Chief was hourly
expected. Since then most unexpected
turn for the better has taken place, and
at this present writing noon
there is a chance that the General may
recover. The chance is not so great as
millions devoutly wish it were, but still it
is chance and with such an indomitable
fighter as Phil Sheridan that means more
than it does to most men. He is in the
habit of wringing victory out of the most
adverse conditions, and we all hope that
he may succeed in turning the flank of the
Great Destroyer and routing him. If courage
and will-power can do this, then we can
rely upon having Phil Sheridan with us fol
years yet

OUR FAITH IN COL. mATsoN.

Another week has faded into the dim azure
of the past without Col. Matson making a
stir in the matter of general pension legisla
ton.
The 9th week since the opening of the
session has passed as fruitlessly as its 26
predecessors.
During it bills relating to the widest va
riety of matters were taken from the calen-
dar, considered, advanced toward passage,
or actually passed Everything and every
body seemed to have attention except the
veteran, and the debt due him from the Gov
eminent.
There were bills considered. and in some
instances passed, to regulate the method of
taking dispositions; to compel Washington
hotels to provide fre-escapes; to build
bridge across Rock Greek, near Washington;
to erect public buildings in little Southern
towns TO pay $35 to woman in Little Rock,
Ark, for the rent of building used by our
troops in 1864; TO charter a street railroad /;
to incorporate railroad, telegraph and tele-
phone line to operate in the Indian Territory !;
to build bridge over the Missouri at Omaha,
and so on through the whole gamut from
trivial to highly important; but not breath
disturbed the rapid accumulation of dust on
the pigeon-holed Disability Pension, the
Arrears of Pension, the Equalization Of
| Bounties, THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE Service
Pension, and other general pension bills
The Chairman of nearly every Committee
but that on Invalid Pensions seemed to be
up and doing, keenly watching for opportu-
mites TO push forward his work. Only the
veteran was without his day in court and
unrepresented by his regularly appointed
advocate, Col. C. G. Matson.
1t must not be thought, however, that
even this has destroyed all our remaining
faith in Col. Matson We know from expe-
rieuce how active he can be in the closing
weeks of the session. We remember his ac-
tiyity in getting the Mexican Pension Bill
through late in the session, and the gallant
fight he made for the Dependent Pension
Bill in the last days of the 18th Congress
and we have faith that he is summoning ~
his energies for grand effort in the future
which will be rich in results for the long
waiting, long-suffering veterans and thei
dependent ones.
Why will he not end their suspense AM
gladden. their hearts By making the effor
as carly as next week?

IT is safe to say that there is nothing
which white man cannot do better than one
of any other race or color. This is shown by
the way in which the English are out-strip-
ping the Chinese and Japanese in the rails
ing of tea. The plantations of Ceylon
having been rendered Improbable by the
leaf-disease, the Englishmen engaged in rails
ing coffee had to turn to other lines of pro-
duction, and few years ago they embarked
upon cultivation, with such success that
they are driving the Japanese and Chinese
teas out of the British markets. Last year
the consumption Of China tea in England
dropped 30,0O0,O00 pounds, which so startled

THE GETTYSBURG CELEBRATION.

THE GETTYSBURG CELEBRATION.
The speech of Gen. Bradley T. Johnson at
the decoration of the Confederate graves in
Baltimore shows clearly the danger to be
apprehended at the coming celebration of
the quarter-centennial of the battle of
Gettysburg.
The Confederates who visited Gettysburg
last year, who talked loudly of letting the
future historian decide who was right" and
who went home in huff, because they were
not allowed to violate the rules of the Gettys-
burg Memorial Association by placing their
monument where it did not belong, and
putting on it an inscription insulting to the
loyalty of the Nation, may be in better
frame of mind than they were twelve
month ago, but it will hardly do to calculate
upon it.
Judging by Gen. Johnson's growing assert
iveness, it would be safer to assume that they
are more demonstrative and outspOken than
they were last year, and that they will at
tempt to carry things with even higher
hand than they did then.
This simply will not do. The coming eel
ebration must not be perverted into an
apology to treason for having conquered 1t,
or tardy recognition of the patriotic and
pure motives of the men who attacked the
| Nations life. The infinite blessing of the
victory gained there at the cost of thousands
of lives must not be belittled or explained
away. The Confederate visitors must I'M
derstand that the ballowed field of Gettys-
burg is no place to vaunt treason and glorify
rebellion. No apologies or regrets are asked
from them, but, on the other hand, they must
not violate the sacred memories of that spot
by calling in question the righteousness OF
the cause for which the dead who fell there
died
Let them come in the same fraternal spirit
in which the invitation was extended to
them-to rejoice as American citizens over
the happy termination of the terrible strug-
gle, and in the multitudinous blessings that
have followed the victory.
Let them come prepared to indorse Abra
ham Lincoln's grand declaration that Get
tysburg was victory for Government o
the people for the people, and by the people
Let them come prepared to do this will
as much sincerity and earnestness as othel
American citizens, or
Let them stay at home and gnaw the fill
of discomfort in obscurity.

NAL wM MCKINLEY.

No man in either House of Congress has
made more solid, enduring reputation dur
ing the present session than Maj. VIM. Nc
Kinley, who is now serving his sixth term
as Representative of the 18th District of
Ohio. He is persuasive, eloquent orator,
who addresses himself to the understanding
of men; an original and accurate thinker
and an accomplished parliamentarian. His
argument in favor of protection to American
industries few weeks ago, was everywhere
admitted to be one of the most powerful and
convincing presentations of that side of the
case ever made in either House. 1t has
been largely reprinted in the press of the
country, and thousands of the pamphlet re-
prints of the speech have been sent off in
answer to requests coming from every sec
ton.
The comrades take particular pride in
this, because Maj. Mckinley is emphatically
one of them. He enlisted in 1861 in the
23d Ohio, that remarkable regiment, which
had such men as Gems. Rosecrans, Scammon,
r. B. Hayes, Stanley Matthews and ]. S.
Comley for its first field officers, and served
through the war in it, rising through all
the grades to Captain and brevet Major
which he was when the regiment was mus
tered out. In Congress he has been the
steadfast friend of the veterans, and any
measure for their benefit was sure to have
the aid of his powerful abilities.
There has been not little talk of him re
Gently among leading politicians and news
papers as possible nominee of the Repub
lican party for President. He would Ger
| tainly be strong candidate.
