CIRCULATE THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
In view of the campaign which our enc
mics have organized against US, 1t becomes
vastly more imperative than ever that THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE be given the widest pos
sible circulation. It is the only Jealous, I'M
compromising advocate the soldiers have
among the great papers of the country. 1t Is
instant in season and out of season, meeting
the attacks of their enemies, refuting their
ISLANDERS, and exhorting and stimulating
their friends. Other papers which are gener-
ally friendly to the veterans have other inter-
ests which are much more important to them
than that of justice to the country's defend
ers THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE's highest
interest, on the other hand, Is in justice to
them. It has no party fealty or personal
ambitions to embarrass its advocacy of their
cause. 1t asks no favors from any party or
Administration, wants no offices, desires
nothing of those in power but that they
shall do their duty by those who did their
duty by the country. It Is the only paper
in the country, great or small, that can say
this.
Our enemies are deluging the country
with literature adverse to the soldiers. The
only way to counteracs this poison Is by
pushing THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE where
ever their papers or leaflets reach. Let its
truth meet and overthrow their lies. To
extend its circulation 10 the best service q
veteran can do for himself or comrades.
Every new subscriber added is strengthen
| ing of It's power for good and help toward
| securing veterans rights.
Let euery comrade take Il upon himself to
secure at least one aesU subscriber before Con-
| 1reSs meets

A SOLID FRONT, COMRADES.

Comrades, our enemies are united as never
before. They are aggressive, malignant and
inscriptions as they never were before.
Sectional haters, frustrated rebels, defeated
partisans, intriguing, voracious aliens, mer-
cenaries hired TO war against American in
dustries, are all marching under one banner
against us. They have made common cause
against the veteran All their force is con-
centrated for an attack upon him, sud his
overthrow is calculated 10 be their first great
victory in the campaign they have entered
upon. We must expect TO encounter, from
now TO until the adjournment of Congress,
such series of assaults as we have never be-
fore endured Our enemies are abnndnntly
supplied with the "sinews Of war" Eng
land, which is always lavish of money when
her interests are involved, is supplying IL
without stint 10 aid in breaking down the
veteran, as the first step in her warfare
against protection 10 American industries
We must meet these assailants with force
as united as their own, az determined in
defense as they are in attack. and drive them
back in confusion. We can do it, if we only
stand together in defense OF our rights, repel
their foul ISLANDERS on comrades, and demand
with firm voice that the Nation do us the
justice it has solemnly promised, and 10
which we have richly earned the right
The present Administration was put in
power, and given majority in both Houses
Of Congress TO support 1t, by the comrades,
on the distinct promise that IL would do what
its predecessor did not do. We must insist
as one man that those promises be carried
out, no matter how yirulent the assaults Of
the rebel-copperhead-En glish-free-trade Co
alition against us.
We must insist upon Congress passing the
pension legislation We have been promised
before il touches the revenues and makes
such legislation impossible.
Let every Representative who owes his
election TO the comrades-and many more
than half of them do--be distinctly i'm
formed by the comrades who are his con-
stituents that they expect him to insist, in
| party caucus and on the floor of the House,
upon the legislation embodying Che recon-
mendations Of the GAR National Pension
Committee taking precedence OF all other
legislation-and especially Of that looking
| to a reduction Of the revenues.
This course is demanded by proper regard
for the interests Of our needy comrades
their widows, orphans and dependent par
ents. They have waited, and waited until
the long, weary years Of hope deferred have
sickened their hearts. They cannot wait
longer, for death is nigh.
If the unholy alliance formed against us
il allowed 10 triumph this Winter, then
there is no foreseeing limit to the disaster
that will beiall every veteran and his de-
pendent ones. Hope will be at an end, and
the victorious enemy will push on his ex
ultant legions against his main objective
the manufactures of the country.
Comrades, all up in line, once more, TO bea
back this hO1Oiing hOrdel

THE rule of political thugs in Louisiana
has had its legitimate results. The investi-
cations so far show that 81 200 900 has been
stolen from the State treasury, with the
probability that the thefts will reach up into
the millions. 1t is always expensive to put
public affairs in the hands of men who carry
caucuses and elections by revolvers and
breech-loading rifles; but the people of
Louisiana have preferred it that way, and
now they must foot the bill.

THE New York Times is stirred up be-
cause some leading wool-growers are urging
policy which will bring about the produc-
ton at home of all the carpet woods that we
now import. That it is something 10 benefit
the farmers and the country at large, and
not the New York importers, is sufficient to
excite the Times rage. For all that, the
suggestion Of the wool-growers is wise and
patriotic. We imported last year 54,703,-
26s pounds of carpet wool, valued at ~ cents
pound OF less, and 19,61s,679 pounds, val
ued at more than 10 cents, or 74,32l ,a51
pounds altogether, valued at $9,022, $50.
The country would have been much more
prosperous if that wool had been raised on
our own fields, and that $9,O22,09O been put
into the pockets of our own farmers, to help
lift the mortgages off their homesteads, and
to buy goods from our manufacturers

In the Administration Of Grover Cleveland there

There was too much aFistocraoy and too little

MINIATURES March O. Special to
the Evening Journal from Oconomow-
oc, Wis, says: Last night Mrs. Dris-
coll, wife Of a farmer living four miles
from here, cut off her husbands head
with an axe while he was asleep in bed
She had the axe, a razor and butcher
knife concealed under the bed, and
waited till the family were all asleep,
then took The axe and raised it for the
blow five different times before she
nerved herself to strike the one that
caused instant death. She then went
up stairs where her boy was sleeping
ana was about to cut his throat when
a daughter awoke and prevented a
double tragedy. The Driscolls lived
happily, and the woman had no cause
for the crime. she had been sick and
was doubtless insane, although she
tells the story with al details herself
this morning.
