IT seems incredible impudence for coun-
try the size of Hayti to be kicking the shins
of this great and glorious Republic. 1t has
only 1O,204 square miles of territory-about
one-quarter the size of Ohio-and $4,000
inhabitants, mostly negroes and mulat;os.
The country is almost always in a broil with
some foreign power, and alternates these
troubles with civil wars. Our Government
has acted wisely in sending men-of-war
Immediately to the island. Force and the
viii to use it is the only thing the Haytiens
respect. One well-armed frigate, with her
guns bearing ON Port-au-Pfince, is worth a
dozen ambassadors with written powers.

ENCOURAGING THE SONS OF VETERANS.
Every comrade should do whatever lies
in his power to aid in building up the Sons
of Veterans.
He should do this because the Order is a
meritorious one, of great benefit to those
belonging to it.
Still more, because it is of great benefit
10 the country, in being nursery of patriot
ism and a training school of its members in
all the duties and requirements of good citi-
zenship.
Still farther, because by doing so he is
building up powerful ally of the veterans,
and one whose assistance we will stand in
need of more and more as the years go.
Thus, we have three most powerful rea-
sons for giving this body all the encourage
ment we can. We have reasons fraternal,
patriotic and selfish.
The country needs just such an organiza-
ton as the Sons of Veterans. Amid all the
clashing of factions and interests-amid all
the powerful aggregations to promote sell
fish ends, and further the interests of par
ticular classes, it constantly becomes more
necessary that there should be at least one
well-knit powerful organization, which shall
have duty to the whole coutry for its para.
mount idea, and which will stubbornly in
sist that patriotism is supreme, and that
everything else must bend before it.
This need is supplied by after the

SCRlBNER'S MAGAZINE.
A Superb Magazine at a Very
Low Price.

ScribRer's Magazine for November contains a
notable group of articles by eminent men, two
of whom-Gen. Philip Il. Sheridan and Lester
Wallack-haye recently died. 1t also has the
first instrument of a romantic novel of advent
ure, by Robert Louis Stevenson, which prom
ises to rival kidnapped in popularity Gen.
A. w. Greedy, Augustine Birrell, and w. c.
Browneu are among the contributors, while
artists like A. B. Frost, William Hole aud Ru-
fus Zogbaum have furnished elaborate illus
trations The publishers announce that the COM
pletion of the second year will be signalized BY
the publication of very interesting and beauti-
full Christmas number. Those who have only
thought of Gen. Sheridan as brave soldier will
be surprised to End in his article From Grave
lotte to Sedan evidences of fine literary skill
in his clear and picturesque descriptions of the
stirring events of the Franco German war
These events were so large, and he was so near
to the moving spirits in them such as King
William, Bismarck and Won Moltke), that his
simple, direct style IS most appropriate and i'm
pressive. His battle pictures are vivid aud ex-
citing. and the whole article is colored with
the humors aud hardships OF campaigning
which the King and private soldiers were alike
subjected The view given of Bismarck IS es-
pecially intimate and unconventional, and is a
distinct addition to our knowledge of his per-
sonality. An expressive portrait of Gen. Sheri-
dan 1.-THE last takenl and number of repro
auctions of famous war pictures by German ar
lists accompany the article.

THE 1900 Grand Army veterans whom
the hating papers of New York pro-
claimed were to lead the Cleveland demon
stration there last Saturday night, did not
materialize. There were some in line who
seemed indifferent to the impropriety of
parading in political procession as Grand
Army veterans" but the number was dis
appointment to those who had promised so
much. If an accurate count could have been
made it would have been found that there
were many more men in the line who fol-
lowed the Stars and Bars than who supported
the Flag of the Free.

THE VETERANS VICTORY.

Ihe exciting pohtlcaI struggle IS AT lasU
over, and victory perches on the banners of
their veterans.
They have vetoed the great vetoer every
where. From Maine to California, from the
Lakes to the Ohio, they moved against him
and his in solid columns, and routed him
and them everywhere.
The victory is decisive and complete. It
is a Waterloo for Mr.. Cleveland, Col. NTatson
and soldier-haters generally. They have
been struck a Knockout blow.
Cleveland entered the contest with high
confidence. He had, from his point of view,
abundant reason for this. Money without
stint was at his command; he had the most
powerful machine under his control that
the country ever saw. With the South SO
securely solid that there was no need of any
exertion in that section, he could put into
the Northern States horde of indefatigable
workers" from it to reinforce the we'll
organized cohorts already there. lie had
powerful newspapers in all the Northern
States. A strong majority of the papers in
New York was on the side of Free Trade.
This gave him a confidence which led him
and his friends to stoutly claim California.
Nevada, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Mime
sofa, Michigan, New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut. Sometimes they even claimed
Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas and Ne
braska. He claimed the most of these even
up to midnight Of the day of election, but
every one has been carried against him, ex-
cept possibly New Jersey where the PrOhi-
bition vote may have saved the State tc
him.
The credit for his defeat is unquestionably
dueto the veterans. They presented a solid
front against which he could moi break, and
which proved decisive in the closer States
The time had come for them to express Their
dfsapproyal of him and his course, and they
did it most emphatically. They forgot party
affiliations in resenting hostility to them and
their comrades. Had they divided as they
did when he was first elected his reelection
would have been assured.
Nor has their work stopt with the defea
of their principal enemy. They have de
feated Col. Matson in Indiana, and elected
in his stead that splendid friend of the sol
diers, Gen. A. P. Hovey. Thus is MatsOn'
treachery properly punished.
They have also expressed their disap
prOvaI of the course of the present Congress
in falling to pass the desired pension legis
lation, by taking the control away from tn
party which is now dominant in the Hous
Of Representatives and giving it to the Re
pubicans.
The pledged friends of the soldiers viii b
in a strong majority in both Houses of tn
next Congress, which with a Presiden
elected when the pension issue was made s
PROMINENT feature of the campaign, make
the outlook for veterans rights very brigh
Possibly the decisive rebuke administers
at the polls may spur BIr. Cleveland and tn
present Congress into doing something
! make amends in the few months that renal
to them of official life. If they do not, tn
next President and Congress win certainl
respond heartily to the wishes of the me
who saved the country.
Truly, it has been great day for IL
veterans.

THE lesson that the English Government
win learn from the sackyille affair is that
they must not interfere too openly in our
politics. Circulation of free-trade docu-

effective ways of advancing their cause.

IT IS said that the plan of tattooing
criminals as means of Identification is
being tried in the Illinois penitentiary at
Joliet, and that other penitentiaries will be
solicited to do likewise, each one using
different mark, so that criminals prison
history can be read at glance when he is
stript for examination at any prison where
he is sent. There is no doubt of the practical
excellence of this plan. Society has the
right to protect itself by marking the pests
who prey upon it. The only obstacle in the
way will be the hysterical protests of certain
maundering philanthropists about degrad-
ing man with stigma" But man is
no more degraded by mark which is
only seen when he is in the hands of the
officers of justice than he is by conviction
and sentence at some former time, which
anybody can know of who takes the trouble
to investigate. After criminal has fallen
into the clutches of the law the second time
there is no more degrading him. There
is no more reformation for him. He is a
| predestined scoundrel The least that So
ciety can do is to label him dangerous"

was 1870. Of these 1888 were invalid
pensioners of the war of the rebellion; 1850

of the war of 1912, 1 ,295 their widows, and
