THE NEW OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.


The National Encampment acted wisely
in selecting ex-Gov. Russell A.. Alger for
COMMUNICATIVE Chief Any of his distin-
guished competitors would have made q
splendid officer but all the conditions were
better satisfied by the election of Gen.
Alger, and we are sanguine that his admin
istration will be an era of brilliant success
for the Order. He is man of the largest
administrative ability, which has been con-
clusively demonstrated not only in the
management of his immense business, but
as commander in the field in war time,
and rs Governor of The great State of Mich
igan. He is animated by the sincerest
devotion to the Order, and will work untir-
ingly for its upbuilding and greater success.
Only genuine affection for his old comrades
would induce him to accept the Office, for
the proper discharge of its duties will in
volye great pecuniary and personal sacri-
flee. Measured by dollars alone, it would
take many thousands to reimburse him for
the time and labor he will take away from
his business to give TO the Grand Army of
the Republic for the next 12 months.
Comrades, let us not leave all the work
and all the devotion to Comrade Alger, or
those Immediately around him. Let each
one of us do his share. Let each comrade
resolve TO do whatever lies within his power
in the coming year to build up the Order,
bring in recruits, and establish it upon the
firmest possible foundations Let him re-
solve that no worthy soldier of his acquaint-
anee should remain ontside the Order If
each man does his share the oath National
Encampment will see the Order at its maxi
mum, with all the hOnorably discharged
surviving veterans in the ranks, and all the
men who helped save the Union closely
united in the bonds of Fraternity, Charity
and Loyalty.
Comrades, will you do this? If so, set
about il once.

of the possibilities of life in this country.

THERE is jaundiced editor in Tifin, o.,
with so small q soul that he cannot appre-
ciate the possibility of advocating any cause
except for purely mercenary reasons. He
charges that THE NATIONAL TRIBUEE's
only object in urging justice to the soldiers
of the Union is to make money out of them.
On the same ground no journal devoted to
any great interest, either secular or relig-
ious, could be printed and retain its stand
ing in good society. This Tifin editor, per-
haps, finds ample satisfaction in paper that
does not advocate anything at all. 1t is
true The NATIONAL TRIBUNE receives the
support of its friends, as he supposes, and
they are the same gentlemen who chased
him out of the bushes back into the Union
some years ago. It's too bad they missed
him
