WHO WANTS A COPY OF THE BOOK
SPEAK UP NOW!

There is a very general desire expressed
that we should publish "The Story of a
Cannoneer" in book form. 1t is generally
conceded TO be the very best war story ever
written. and gives much the best description
Of the actual experiences Of fighting soldier
in Che Army Of the Potomac in the glorious
history Of that army from Gettysburg to
Appomattox. Besides, it has historical
value that no other book has. Still, we are
not sure that the demand for il is sufficient
" great TO warrant as going to the very
considerable expense necessary to get ont the
book in The first-class style that such a work
deserves. We very much desire, therefore,
that all our readers who wish the book
should notify us at once, by postal card or
otherwise, stating how many copies they
think they viii take.

ONE of the inscrutably stupid things con-
nected with the unvailing of the Lee statue
was the formation of the procession with the
delegations from the various States in the
order of secession. 1t is beyond compre-
hension why there should be any grades of
honor in what is now recognized as the stu
pendous blunder and crime of this century
Why should South Carolinians want to un-
necessarily parade the fact that their swag-
gering swashbuckling politicians led off in
that monumental ofIense against civilization
and enlightenmentr Believing, as they all
pretend to, that the South is infinitely better
off without slavery, and with the National
Union firmly knit, why should they claim
and accept honor for being first in the wicked
plot to perpetuate slavery and dismember
the country? The whole war being a gi-
gantic and bloody mistake on their part,
why should they gloat over the fact that
they were the first to lanch into the mael-
strom of blood and strife into which the
country was plunged?

SPAIN has just finished footing up the
census taken three years ago and finds that
she had then population of 1850 215, or
95l ,90l more than she had in 1877, 10 years
before. This is an increase of 81 per cent
per annum, and at that rate il would take her
about 300 years to double her population, if
she had good tuck, and did not suffer from
wars, pestilence, or similar calamities. Any
thing nearer standstil than this cannot well
be imagined 1t seems that the population in
creased during the decade trfle iaster-.19
of one per cent.-than it did in the previous
decade, and this is attributed to the fact that
there had been some hygienic improvements
in few of the larger cities. What q de-
lightful country Spain must be to settled "

PASSAGE OF THE DISABILITY BILL.

PASSAGE OF THE DISABILITY BILL.
Last Monday the Senate took up the Pen
sion Bill reported from the Conference Com
mittee, and passed by the House, and after
brief but earnest debate, in which it was
strongly opposed by Senators Berry, of Ar
kansas; German, of Maryland. and Vest, of
Missouri, and supported by Davis, of Min
neseta; Teller, of Colorado; Platt and Haw-
ley, of Connecticut; ingalls,, of Kansas, and
Blair, of New Hampshire, it was passed,
without alteration or amendment, by a vote
OF "a TO IS.
But two Northern Senators voted against
ii: Mcpherson, of New Jersey, and Payne,
of Ohio. But one Southern Senator voted for
it: Call, of Florida. All the Republican
Senators present and not paired voted for it,
and two Democrats: Hearst, of California,
and Turpie, of Indiana
The bill now goes TO the President for his
signature, which will probably be promptly
affixed, when the bill will become law,
and begin its good work of carrying much
needed relief to fully half million vet
Grams and their dependent ones.
The complete text of the bill appears in
another column.
Comrades, a long, long step has been taken
in the right direction. Let us now grid up
our loins for a vigorous battle for the re-
mainder of our rights: the passage of the
Prisoners of War Bill, the Repeal of the
Limitation to Arrears, the Equalization OF
Bounties, and THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE

Per Diem Service Pension Bill.
WHOM FOR CoMMANDER-IN-C Chief
In less than six weeks from to-day the
National Encampment Of the Grand Army
of the Republic will begin its annual session
in Boston. One of its principal duties will
be the selection Of a successor to Gen. X. A.
Alger as Commander-in-Chief This makes
the question of whom that successor shall be
assume constantly-growing interest.
Gen. Ayers brilliant administration has
given rise 10 a natural wish in the minds of
many comrades that he should be reelected.
This is a high compliment TO the dis
tinguished comrade, but one which he has
well earned by his devotion TO the Order,
and the very able manner in which he has
discharged his duties. But it is very I'M
likely that he would, even ifstrongly pressed,
consent to serve a second term. For a man
of his large business interests and wide
reaching plans, it was a great sacrifice TO
devote year almost entirely to the good of
the GAR, but he made this contribution
for the love of the Order. 1t would be too
much 20 ask him to repeat this sacrifice.
Besides, there is the unwrtten law Of the
later years Of the Order that no Commander
in-Chief shall be reelected. There are so
many comrades whom the GAR. would
like to see at It's head. the years are so few
that can he divided among them, that the
general feeling is strongly in favor of allow
ing each but one term.
Col. Wheelock G. Veazey, of Vermont, has
been warmly Endorsed by his Department,
which has strong hopes Of his election.
Next to Gen Alger, he was the leading can
didate before the Milwaukee Encampment,
and withdrew in favor Of that comrade, in
a speech of singular beauty and elevation OF
sentiment. His soldier record was brilliant,
he having led the successful flank movement
of Stannard's Brigade at Gettysburg, which
completed the ruin Of Pickctt's Division.
He is one Of the leading jurists Of New
England, and a man Of the highest personal
character. The Vermont comrades claim
that the New England delegates are prac-
tically united upon him, and that they are
receiving very encouraging assurances from
other parts of the country.
Gov. A. p. Hovey, of Indiana, is strong in
his Department and in others Of the West
His distinguished military services, and hi'
faithful service for the veterans, has giyer
him a warm place in the hearts of the com
rades.
Col. W r. smedberg is reported TO bc
very strong on the Pacific Coast, and hi
| grand work during the National Encamp
naent at San Francisco made him man,
1 friends among the influential comrades il
all parts Of the country. He has in'
soldier record, and his friends are conGden
that he would adorn the Office of Com
! mander-in- Chief
There are a number Of other candidate
being considered by their respective DE
partments who believe that their labors 70
the good Of the Order and their abilitie
should be recognized by elevation TO Iii
Commander-in-Chielship, which they woul
ill acceptably.
