NATIONAL TRIBUNE WASHINGTON c. THURSDAY 90

overturned kingdoms and changed the
course of the worlds history.
The best indication of the harmony per-
vading the Eneampment was the unprece-
dented fact of the election of the three
highest officers by reclamation.
For the highest Office there were several
candidates, all honorably ambitious of its
honors, and all well-deserving of them.
No mistake would have been made in
electing any one of them. All of
them had the support of strong parties
of friends, who we're more eager for their
elevation to the Commander-in-C hiefship
than they were to have it. But special rea-
sons existed making one Of them the fttest
of all at this particular time The other
candidates and their adherents readily rec
ognized this, and withdrew at once from the
contest, and united to make the election by
reclamation. To-day we are certain that
there are none who more heartily approve
of the election of Maj Warner than the men
whose names were presented in the Encamp-
ment, with welI-deserved euIogies, for the
Office to which he was elected This was
equally true of the Junior Vice Commander
in-Chief The justice of recognizing the
Navy by place in the National Admins
tration was at once conceded as soon as a
plea was made for it, and the other candi-
dates withdrew and urged the election OF
Union Jack by acclamation.
The Senior Vice Commander-in-C Chief was,
according to custom, given to the Depart
ment in which the Encampment was held,
and the comrades of the Department OF
Ohio, with one voice, decided on Col. N. H.
Neil, and the choice was confirmed by accla-
nation.
This same spirit in its highest manifesto
tions marked every act of the comrades in
Encampment assembled. The future may
have larger gatherings, but it viii have none
more harmonious, more enthusiastic, more
united in the godIike spirit of fraternity, OF
more satisfactory to everyone.

The Sons of Veterans have reason for con-
graduation in the happy solution of the
question of their relations with the Grand
Army. The first and most important step
in this direction was taken by themselves,
as we have urged for long time In other
words they settled their own internal diff
eulties and presented harmonious front
When this condition of things was reached
they found their fathers in the Grand Army
ready to receive them in a spirit in conso-
nance with the close relations naturally ex-
listing between the two bodies
There is nothing now to hinder the Order
Of the Sons of Veterans from advancing to
that dignity and importance which a vast
membership would give it.
It is reported now that the Order num-
hers $4,000 members. It should have 10
times that number. Every years admins
tration should now double its membership
by the simple plan Of each one in the Order
taking it upon himself each year to bring in
another.
Tt is distinction of which any young
man may well be proud to be the son Of a
father who offered his life in the cause Of
the Nation. It is an honorable pride whose
embodiment in this splendid young Order
cannot but work for the veal of the Repub-
lie.
All honor to it, and may wisdom guide its
steps, as patriotism presided at It's birth

Nor stree his letter about returning the
flags TO the Confederate States has Presi-
dent Cleveland done anything quite 50 blum
deringly as his telegram to the National
Encampment. No one had invited him to
the Encampment Indeed, after the expert
ence with ST. Louis last year, it would have
required much hardihood on the part of
anyone to extend him al invitation. Capt.
Foraker, as Governor Of Ohio, had, with
proper respect for the exalted Office Of Presi-
dent of the United States, sent him cour-
teous invitation to be present at the opening
Of the Ohio Centennial, which took place the
week before the Eaeampment; but he is
still sulking at Foraker, and lie decided to
crush him by taking 10 notice of him, and
assuming that the invitation came from an
entirely different man and for quite another
purpose. The laundering construction Of
the telegram reveals the whole scheme

this city last week on business, and returned 70 his
Summer residence at Shrewsbury, n J., near
Long Branch on Friday. Gen. Van Tliet was the
eiicicat QUarterulaster Of the Army at New York
city during lhe war, and furnished more transport
alton TO the old boys than any other officer in the
service besides attending to the duties Of shipping
ratons, buying stores, and all other duties of HE
department. And he did il well, too. The General
IS well and hearty, and looks good for many years
yet as he is an active man, though his hair and
WilisEers are as white as snow, and he has nearly
reached the age assigned By the PsaImist as the
limit Of earthly life.
Capt. Joseph r. Reed Of Council Bluffs, who
was nominated by the Republicans Of the Ninth
District of Iowa for Representative in Congress to
succeed 3Iaj. Joseph Lyman, was Captain Of the

capacity. which he reached through successive
grades from an enlisted man. After the war he
located in Council Bluffs and praeLiced law. He

anything; and owing solely TO him the first
session Of the 50th Congress will end, in
terrible disappointment to the veterans of
the Union and their dependent ones.
We say this more in sorrow than in anger.
We earnestly wish that instead of having
to condemn Col. Matson for his failure to do
his duty by the veterans, we could now be
writing enthusiastic praise Of his active and
intelligent efforts to- secure them their
dues.

THE two Canadian members of the Com
mission that formulated the rejected fishery
treaty have been rewarded by her Majesty
the Queen in that economical way so charac-
teristic Of the lady. One was Commoner,
and he has been made Baronet. The other
was Baronet, and he has been advanced to
a Marquis. This kind of reward costs moth
ing to the giver, but is highly-priged mark
of approval, and proves that the British Gov
ernment did not think they got the worst of
the bargain.

The new Senior Vice Commander is a native
of Columbus, the third son of the late William
Neil, long a very prominent citizen of this
place. Col. Neil entered the service in 1861 as
Adjutant in the 1st Ohio Cav. He was with
his regiment in the operations that year in
Kentucky and Tennessee, aud was at Shiloh.
After this engagement he moved on with the
army and was engaged in the siege of Corinth.
Exposure in this mud campaign brought him
down with lung fever, and he lay at deaths

No ADLER paper was ever presented to the
Grand Army of the Republic than the adj
dress of Commander-in.C Chief Rea. 1t was
practical in suggestion, exalted in tone, and
classical in force and beauty of expression.
Though the Commander-in-C hiefwas suffer
ing from failure of voice, he managed to read
it very effectively, and its reception by the
Encampment was most fattering.

not permit his acceptance of the honor. He
was compelled, after deferring the step as long
as there was hope of being able to continue
with his command, to tender his resignation,

DIR ENDORSEMENT

Nothing could be more satisfactory to our
journalistic pride than the enthusiastic in
dorsement of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE's
pension policy by the National Encampment.
Without specifying it directly, the Commit
tee on Resolutions adopted The National
Tribune" Pension Bill in every essential
and distinctive feature, and its Endorsement
by the Encampment was instantaneous and
overwhelming. Loud acolamations followed
its reading; on division there were only %
votes against it in the entire Encampment,
and most of these were only cast, as one who
voted that way explained to the Encamp-
ment, on a bubble of parliamentary law,
and he moved to make the vote unanimous.
To this there were not half-dozen objec-
tons IN the entire Encampment.
Nothing like such unanimity on pension
measure was ever known before in any
gathering of veterans, and while it is such a
compliment as few newspapers have ever
received, we have still higher qualification in
the pleasant anticipations of the good results
to the soldiers which viii follow such una

A Fine Rcmitted-An ObnOxiOu
Stone Crusher.
| The Fire Commissioners met yester
day afternoon and transacted the usua
routine business. All the members wer
present. The fine imposed on Drive
Harry Gray, by the old Board, for up
setting his engine, was, on motion o
Mr.. Kuhrts, remitted. Mr.. Kuhrts statet
that he did not like to reverse any of tn,
rulings of the old Board, but as there
was no method prescribed for collectins
the fine and as there we're extenuatinl
circumstances, and further on account Of
Mr.. Gray 3 excellent record, be thought in
this instance it would be proper to remit
the fine. Mr.. Hanley and Mayor Brysor
expressed similar views. Mr.. Hanley
said he did not believe in the fning sys.
tenn anyway. He believed it would be
better to punish offenders by suspendinp
them in accordance with the degrees Of
the ofense, and, if the fault was grave
enough, expulsion from the force.
The usual accounts were audited and
bills allowed. Mayor Bryson suggested
to Chief Moriarty that it would be
cheaper to buy supplies in bulk instead
of small quantities. The Chief con.
Cured in this view, but stated that the
city had no storehouse. The Board
agreed that the corporation should in the
near future build storehouse in which
to keep city supplies.
A number of citizens appeared before
the Board to protest against the running
of rock-crusher at the corner of Los
Angeles and Winston streets. Com
plant was made of the great damage
done to the adjacent property owners,
and the annoyance caused by the dirt
and noise.
The crusher referred to is that of MIR.
Porter, the street contractor, who had
the sanction of some of the city officials
to locate his works there temporarily
while paving streets in the vicinity.
A note was read from Councilman
Humphreys expressing the hope that the
Board would be indulgent with Mr.. Por-
ter for few months, as street work
would be much retarded by compelling
him to look up new location.
The Board, however, decided that il
was the plain duty of the Chief of the
Fire Department, under Ordinance 377,
to order Mr.. Porter to desist from crush.
ing rock in his present location.
The Chief was instructed to have
Engine No. at East Los Angeles re-
paired, and have Engine No. moved
temporarily to it's place.
Charles E. Miles was recommended tc
be Assistant Chief Engineer.
The resignation of Frank Lewis az
driver of the Hook and Ladder Company
was accepted and VIM. Williams was ap
pointed to fill the vacancy.
VIM. Kootz was appointed to fill va
cancy in Engine Company No. 6.
The purchase of three additional
horses for the department was recon-
mended and the Board adjourned.

A Chine Sc Shooter.

Ho Chung, a Chinaman who appears
to be bad character among his own
people, was examined yesterday by JUS
tice Austin on the charge Of assault to
murder. Some days ago Chung had a
disagreement with another Chinaman
about money matters, rs result Of
which he determined to kill him. One
evening when his intended victim was at
supper Chung called him cut into the
street and without any warning put re-
volver against his body and began to
shoot. One bullet took effect in the
mans thigh before he was able to gel
away. AS result of the examination
Chung was held to answer to the charge
his bail being fixed at 5000.
