GEN, CYRUS BUSSEY,
Assistant Secretary Of the Interior
Department.

Certainly no man in the Nation has filled all
tho years of his manhood more full of useful
activity to the public than Gen. Cyrus Bussoy,
and none have been more brilliantly successful
in so many and such withdrawing lines of
high effort leading to great results. BY excep-
tional ability and unusual force of character
he has achieved conspicuous success in many
totally different walks of life, to succeed in
any one of which is as much as comes to most
men who are usually regarded as specially
fortunate. As business man, soldier, n
legislator, q commander of troops on the field
of battle, as an administrator of public affairs
in an extensive district in turbulent times
and as an influential political leader he has
gained high honors, without failure or a
qualified success anywhere, or in the most try
ing situation, to blot the bright record. In
the responsible position he now occupies he is
adding to his reputation every day, and has al
ready directed more flattering attention to him
self than his predecessors have been able to
gain in long terms. Gen. Bussey was born
Oct. s, 1888. in Hubbard, Trumbull Co., o..
His father, Rev. A. Bussey, was Methodist
minister, well-known and highly esteemed in
Ohio and Indiana.
When he was four years of age his father was
transferred by the Church authorities to the
field of duty in Southern Indiana, and at the
age of II young Cyrus entered drygoods store
in Dupont, Ind, rs a clerk. He speedily mas
tered the business, and at the age of 16started in
trade OF his own account. His speedy success
justified isconfdence in his own powers, which
however, he did not neglect to fortify by a
rigid course Of study, giving regularly several
hours day to this purpose till he was ~, when

A poor EXCUSE.

When the Milwaukee railroads have
pointed out to them that they are giving
one-cent rates TO singing societies, Turner
bunds, and similar organizations which make
excursions TO Milwaukee aud elsewhere, and
deny the same favorable rates TO the GAR,
they reply that il is the immensely Of the
business which compels the higher rates.
They say that with societies of the kind
mentioned the attendance is comparatively
limited-Only the members, their families,
and few friends 90. This involves but
little extra preparation for even the most
numerously attended affairs. On the other
hand, the GAR. will attend by the hundred
thousand. Extraordinary preparations and
great outlay will be necessary 10 properly
take care Of the travel, and consequently il
will be Improbable to give as low rate as
is given TO smaller bodies
This is specious reasoning. Most people
will find it difficult TO understand how il is
proportionately more expensive to do big
business than small one. Suppose that it
does involve laying down few temporary
gidetracks and borrowing some cars and
engines. Roads are doing this constantly for
much smaller matters than National En-
campment. The sidetracks will have to be
laid down anyway, whether there are 10, 900
or 100000 come. The engines and coaches
will not have to be borrowed, unless there
are people TO ill the trains, and if there are
people to ill the trains, there will be an
immense profit in hauling them, with the
greater profit for the more people. This ID
common business sense. The bigger part oil
every roads expenses are fixed and I'm.
changeable, without reference 10 the volume
Of business at a particular time. 1t must
keep up its tracks, bridges, buildings, roll
ing-stOck, aud its staff Of employees, whether
/ its traffic be more or less. Consequently
the more business il does the more money
il makes, provided 1t charges more for il,
service than it costs TO perform il. The
railroads can afford TO carry passengers al
one cent a mile and make money, becaus,
they are constantly doing IT, They secl
that kind Of business, have agents out OF
their lines working it up, and regard il a
very desirable. There is no doubt il
the world that If they were not sur,
of having the National Encampment a
Milwaukee they would lose no time in offer
ing One-cent rate, and perhaps still better
TO induce it TO 20 there. They would onl,
be too glad to lay down all the sidetracks
and borrow all the engines and coache
necessary. They are firm now, because the,
think they have the comrades ON the hi
and can compel them to pay what the,
please. The difference between 0ne-cen

handsome showing in their yearly earnings
and they are ravenous for it. We can aasur

MONUMENT FOR ANDREWS.

We have received the following truly
patriotic letter from Connecticut comrade:

This is most worthy object, and we will
cheerfully do all that we can to help pro-
mote it. Andrews certainly deserves a fit

cause and freely staked his life upon its
success Had he succeeded it would have
given us possession oil chattanooga year

many lives and immense cost. He did all
that was possible to carry out his design,
but was thwarted by n concurrence of events
which human foresight could not have an

the penalty of failure with his life, and died
bravely and loyalty, regretting only that
his death would not secure for his country
what he desired.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

To-day is the 18th anniversary of our
formal withdrawal from all connection with
the shop over the way" and our setting up
in business for ourselves.
One hundred and thirteen years ago to-
day we hung out a new sign on the highway
of the Nations, and announced ourselves
open for the transaction of all business
usually done by independent Governments,
with punctuality and dispatch.
We did not have much capital to start
with, but we confidently hoped that by
strict attention TO business, with honesty
and fair dealing all around, TO get living
share of whatever there was to be had.
Our branching out on our own hook GER
tainly did seem particularly brash. Com
pared with the establishments over the water
our existence was that of mushroom, and
We lacked all the usual stock-in-trade, plant
and appliances for carrying on the Nation
business, such as money, an army, navy,
public debt, n by-the-grace-ofGod King
and moss-grown aristocracy. But we were
not really conscious how badly we were of
without these things. and we went along in
makeshifty way, doing the best we could
under the circumstances, trusting in the
Lord and our own knack in tiding over bad
spots.
We printed money that was like the
Israelite mamma in that it spoiled if kept
over night. We patched up "make-do
army that sometimes was fighting and some
times was blowing corn and harvesting
wheat. We had a navy that took Goldfish
and mackerel or British vessels, as occasion
served. The pHblic debt grew without
effort. We rubbed along without a King,
while every man who could get ruilied
shirt and pair Of silver shoe-buckles, helped
all he could to provide us with an aristoc-
racy.
Our efforts were crowned with success. We
got ahead in the world quite rapidly. Some
otker Nations which were doing a thriving
and apparently well-establ;shed business
at the time we started, and looked down
upon HIS with more or less contempt, have
gone into bankruptcy, have been forced out
Of business, or been scooped up by their
stronger competitors. Others, equally pre-
tentious then, are going rapidly down hill
while we have increased our possessions
seventy times sevenfold, and now stand as
strong and well-equipt as the best of them
And We have really only begun, as the
world is rapidly finding it out.
That was a great day in the worlds his
tory-that July day 113 years ago. Fire al
many cannon as we may, beat rs many
drums, toot as many horns. we shall ye
fall far short of properly expressing TIT
magnitude of the event which ushered into

CONE FOE HIS NOE"

Elsewhere we give an account of the
stormy interview between Mayor Oliver, Of
Lockport, n. Y, and Gen. Sickles, in which
the Mayor was properly rebuked for talking
like the political boss and heeler that he is.
Oliver is one of those tyrannical, domineer-
ing men who have no use or liking for men
whom they cannot make Of personal use, as
was the case with the veterans. He is a
wealthy cider manufacturer and a leading
spirit in the Cotton Seed Oil Trust Sprout
Post, of Lockport, held q meeting TO con-
slider the matter. and the hall was crowded
to its greatest limit. The following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved That this Post most emphatIcaliy con-
demns the position taken by Mayor Thomas Oliver,
of the city OF Lockport in regard 10 complying
with the law In reference 10 the employment OF
veteran soldiers under the civil service rules aud
that we consider him enemy To the men who
fought 10 preserve the Union and National inicg-
rity.
Resoired That when Thomas Oliver. Mayor Of
the city OF Lookpor classed the Union veteran
soldier as a sucker lac belitslcd himrelf To greater
extent Ia the eyes Of loyal community than II ID
possible for his bittcrcst enemies 10 sink him.

IT has been suggested 10 as that a very
agreeable, as well as economical, way for
many Of the comrades to attend the National
Encampment would be by boat Those who
live within convenient distances of the shores
Of Lakes Michigan, Superior or Huron might
form parties and charter schooners, or even
steamers, and, after making pleasant trip
20 the city, live aboard their vessels during
the Encampment. The harbOr Is in the
heart Of the city, aud beds and meals on
board a vessel will be as convenient TO reach
as in hotel. We understand that there is
some talk by enterprising vessel owners OF
making arrangements to meet parties OF
Michigan comrades at Grand Haven, Mus
kegon, Ludington and Manistee, which are
just across the lake from Milwaukee take
them there, board them while in the city.
and bring them back again. The thing is
certainly worth considering. There would
be money in it for the vessel men, and COM
