giving promise Of enormous development in
the near future. The consolidation of the
two branches has given it great impetus.
Between the 1st and 24th Of March applica-
tons had been received at National Head
quarters for charters for Il new Camps, and
this is regarded as only the beginning
There are now over 10000 active members
! in the Order. Ohio is the banner Depart
ment, with 10000 members.
The best spirit appears everywhere. Many
of the Camps have uniformed and armed
themselves, and drill very creditably, in
deed. a number are organized as cavalry,
some as artillery, one as company of sap
pers and miners, and the remainder as
infantry. Andrew Carnegie Camp, Of
Piasburg, is organized as a battery Of
artillery, and armed with fine guns cast
especially for them. Entrance into the mill
tia is not encouraged, as this tends to bring
abont a division Of interest. 1t is rare e

TIE NEW COMMISSIONERS.

Commissioner Tanner is hard at work ac-
quainting himself with the details of his Bu-
reau, familiarizing himself with the men in
it, and making such changes as already sug-
gest themselves to him as advisable to i'm
prove its efficiency and facilitate the prompt
and equitable adjustment of claims The
way he is taking hold gives fine promise of
the success of his administrati IA. He shows
a wonderful comprehension of the workings
of the Bureau, aud of the principles
of pension law This was to be expected of
him, for there are few men in the country
who have given so much attention to the
pension system as he has. Ia this respect
he has an immense advantage over any of
his predecessors. While two at least of them
were excellent soldiers, and in sympathy
with their comrades, they had not had their
attention strongly directed to pension mat
tiers before their entrance into office, nor
had pension matters assumed the widespread
importance they now possess On the other
hand, Corp1 Tanner has been more or less
directly connectedwith the pension discus
sion ever since the close of the war; he has
been for several years member of the
GAR National Pension Committee, and as
such has made close study of the pension
system, and the workings of the Pension
Bureau. He has, therefore, entered upon
his work with an unusual amount of knowl-
edge, and this is already bearing good fruit.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND deliberately load
ed down the civil service with thousands OF
appointments in the last months of his term
for no other reason than to embarrass his
successor in the matter of carrying out civil
service reform. We trust that President
Harrison will not feel the slightest reluc-
lance to meet this act of his predecessor in
the proper way by the summary removal Of
all those who were thus fostered upon him
and filling their places with veterans. The
entire country will approve Of this.

So far Maj. Warmers administration Of
the Office of Commander-in-Chief has been
phenomenally successful The growth of
the Order has been beyond all precedent,
and the spirit of fraternity has everywhere
been higher and more enthusiastic. If the
rate of increase continues at the same ratio
as it was during the first quarter, his year
will close with the total membership con-
siderably in excess of the halfmillion which
sanguine comrades predicted at the National
Encampment at Columbus.
Much of this gratifying growth is due to
Maj. Warmers good management and his
attractive personality. He is wise and able
in all his measures, and wherever he goes he
produces the most favorable impression. not
only for himself, but for the Order of which
he is the head and representative. He has
eminently the faculty of saying the right
thing at the right time and place, and his
visit to any place is sure to be followed by
strong revival of interest in the Grand
Army of the Republic

THE AMERICAN CONGRESS.


 The Withdrawal of Brazilian Dele-
 gate-Thlrteen Rules Adopted.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Sesretary Blaine called the International American conference to order this afternoon and caused to be read letter from Lafayette Rod rigues Pereira, one of the delegates from Brazil, announcing with regret that he felt unable to continue to act as . delegate owing to the changed con- dition of affairs in his country. The consideration of the rules having been resumed the president suggested that the eighth rule concerning the right of members to take the foer and in the discussion of which nearly two days has been fruitlessly spent by the conference, should be altogether omitted as in international commissions and boards there could never be a contest on such . point.
 At the suggestion of Senor Perazza (vene- zuela) the rule was divided, the first proposition (requiring the recognition of delegates in the order in which they make the request was adopted and the second clause (providine that in case of simultaneous applications the floor shall be conceded to delegates in order l of losation) was rejected. After this l stumbling block had been removed better progress was made and by the hour of ad- journnent thirteen of the nineteen rules had hsen adoptsd.

ANCIENT RUINS.

The Explorations of Two Hartford
 Gentlemen Among the cliff Dwell-
 ings Of Colorado.
 HARTFORD, Nov. 27.- Frederick H. Cha. pin and Charles P. Howard, of this city, have recently returned from southern Colorado. In Maneos Canon and it's tributary gorges they explored extensive ruins of cliff dwell ings very recently discovered, many of them their own discovery. Among them was one palace or fortress under an overhanging cliff and above steep incline almost inaccsssi- ble. Thir palace is 425 feet long, and on the ground floor 124 rooms are traceable. It is eighty feet high and would hold over 1000 people. The structure is not stucce, but mason work with mortar. No metal was found about the buildings. There is no evi- dence what sort of people lived there or when they left, though the explorers esti- mate that the ruins are six hundred years old or more. They brought home many photo- graphs. The first person to discover any of these ruins in that locality was Richard Wetherill, a ranchman of Mancos, who came upon them last December.

WHY YOU FEEL WEAK AND
 TIRED.
And the Cause of Tour Nervousness.

And the Cause of Your Nervousnsss
 (From the Boston Globe)
 The cause of that weak and tired feeling is that there is an exhaustion of the nerve powers and prostration of the nervous vitality. This will se readily understood when it is considered that the nervous system is the mainspring so to speak. of the body; that it controls the action of all or gans well as all our movements, and is the force and power by which we live. It is plain, therefore. that when for any cause the nervous power, energy and strength are weakened or exhausted. physical and nervous prostration must inevitably follow.
 A sure and positive cure will be found in Dr. Greenes Nervura, and we promise our readers that, if they will use this wonderful remedy, thsy will be restored to perfect health, strength and vigor. Its wonderful effects as nerve cure and strength restorer to the weakened and debilitated system are without parallel in the history of medicine.
