The New Commander Of the G.. A. r.

The new commander of the Grand Army
is strong in the heart rather than In the
head. He cannot be called q learned man.
but he has been q successful one. He has
money in plenty. and he is free in distrib-
uting it He does not pose well in dignified
roles; there is little buckram in his compo-
sition. He is the kind of man 'ths boys
their enthusiasm and sets them shouting
whenever he shows himself. He is of the
class which just now seems to be at the
fore in Grand Army circles, the radical
class. which, in its contemplation of the
services and suiferings of the soldier in the
past, is sometimes slightly ~forgetful of the
rights Of others in the present. This fact
is seen in the feeling exhibited in regard to
the pension question. the indications being
that extreme ground will be taken, which
will in the end be broad enough for every
soldier of the war to stand upon.

that Leathergood, immediately after his dis

up 1s3 acres of land within the Indian reserva-

had, by come means unexplained, secured a
patent for the lands from the State. Since that
Indian land by whites on this reservation, and

right the state assumes the responsibility OF dis
posing of Indian lands without any consultation
whatever with the federal authorities.
