THE story Of the heir to the British
throne travelling about his future king
dom with a gambling layout as an i'm
portant part Of his personal baggage is
proof positive to the majority Of Amcri-
can readers that the British monarchy
is in a bad way and that we did not get
out from under it any too soon for the
good of our moral character.

If ever The Nation proposes TO do justice
10 the veterans it must do it now, while
they are within the reach of justice. 1t

OF little consequence whether its obligations
to the bondholder are discharged this year

lis indebtedness to him, and if it does not
pay the principal now, it is q good legacy TO
leave 10 his heirs Not so the debt due the
veteran. II mast be paid to him or TO no one.
The Government holds that the death Of the
creditor relieves il from tie necessity Of
paying the debt, and every year it saves
enormous amounts, because the chill hand
Of the Black Commander withdraws the
creditors beyond the reach Of payment.

"EEGULAE PICNICs."

The Nashville american says editorially:
monty said, give open field and We have a
fighing chance. II the Federals oulnumber rs three
20 one; have a fair chance II they arc two to
one, aud II We to man we have a regular
picnic.
We should really like to know where the
editor Of the american found these regular
picnics.n 1t could not have been near Nash
vile. At Shiloh the rebels had 5000 to
Grants $4,000, aud if there was any thing
like picnic on the banks of the Tennessee
for those two days we shall beg to be ex-
cused from attending any more picnics.
At Stone River the two armies were rs
nearly equal in numbers as armies ever get
to be on the battlefield, and the only picnic
there for four days was for the Grim Reaper
with the scythe and the hour-glass.
At Chickamauga the rebels had about
10000 men 10 $1,000 in the Army Of the
Cumberland, and Gcd spare this laad from
any more such picnieq. The official reports
Of the rebel regimeutal, brigade, division
and corTs commanders show that from -
to GO per cent of the men whom they took
into battle were killed or wounded in those

A SHINING MARK.

The NATIONAL lEIBUNE's Jealous service
for the veterans has made it the mark for The
abuse Of every paper and Of every speaker
which was hostile TO pensions. Regarded as
the chief champion Of the veterans and the
courageous advocate Of all that was due
them, it has been slandcred, maligned and
disparaged even as they have been. let
as take an excerpt from the New York
Herald, which, in IFS zeal for free trade aud
10 serve its English masters, has come TO the
front as the leading soldier-hater among the
press Of the Eastern money centers. The
Herald pays this tribute 10 THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE:
'Therc would have been no Dependent PEN
sion Bill had il moi been for TIE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE. No one WOUid have dared 10
think Of it; no one would ever have proposed
it or advocated il. In season and out Of
season, issue after issue, it yehemently de-
manGud il, asked Tor it, bcsought, and insisted
upon having il. Whatever shadow Of senti-
ment i'm favor Of il there was in the country,
the paper manufactured"
The Hcralds English is bad, and it is
sadly OF on some facts; but it is clear that
il believes THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is
wholly responsible not for the Dependent
Bill, a. the Herod mistakes, but for the
Disability Bill. The Hrad is ridiculOusly
in the wrong when IL claims that we manu-
featured all The sentiment ia favor Of the
bill. The sentiment in favor OF more liberal
pension needed no manufacturing. 1t ex-
listed in yig0r and strength. THE NATIONAL
1 TEIBUNE's work was TO give expression TO
that sentiment, 10 aid in bringing everyone
into line On one measure, and TO meet with
facts and arguments the opponents of the
BILL We are proud 10 say that we did this
work effectively, and the veterans and their
/ dependent ones are now reaping the bene-

THE people who have been grieved to
hear of Miss Anna Dickinson's insanity are
countless. She was once a great power for
good, and exerted herself in that direction
with brilliant success. She made great
deal Of money by her lectures and writing,
but it all went to support her brothers and
sisters, who did not seem to have any ca
pacity except for spending money which she
earned. The latest news is that she has
gotten out Of the asylum and declares that
she is wholly sane Those who know her
best will shake their heads sOrrowfully at
this. She has always had streak of in
sanity in her makeup, and this has develOpt
as she advanced in years.

SECRETARY BLAINE has fixed Oct. II
for the conference with the Canadian Com
missioners and he wisely stipulates that the
discussion of reciprocity shall be conjoined
with the Boring Sea and the Newfoundland
fisheries questions. This will be an effect
i've way of bringing the Canadians to time,
settling definitely all the questions which
have disturbed the relations Of the two
countries Their desire to secure admission
TO our rich markets will lead them to make
concessions in regard to Boring Sea and the
fisheries which they would not otherwise
make.

Of the sugar-beet has been found in Southern
Wisconsin, and the strip running through
Iowa, Minnesota and the Dakoias. ii this

ing into the pockets Of the palace ring at
Madrid into the purses of the farmers Of
that region. If they can get hold Of the

sending abroad for sugar and mOlasses, not

testimony 10 the wisdom of the Mex inley

colonies Of Canada, Newfoundland, Barba-

Governors and each other in their haste TO
take advantage Of the reciprocity feature.
They all recognize that the American mar
ket is the best in the world. The more

now mANH MEN DID THE REBELS
HtNEg


Commenting on the size Of the pension
expenditures, the Nashville american could
not resist the temptation to rei,erate the
stale old rebel lie about the number Of men
in the rebel armies. Ii says:
During the whole war there were only 6ooooo
men engaged ON the Confederate side, while from
isst TO last the Federal Government, dating from
the first proclamation of President Lincoln Aprl
d. 1861, 20 the last call for troops April a. ls5'
placed ia thc field 900 troops. Al the close Of
Tho war the Federal Government had expended
So lsO 0Da G0l had los, G-030 men len dead On The
field and had established - National tcmcteues'
where were laid over 30GGOO soldiers. To-day tho
Ecunral Government g. paying pensions TO sOoon
soldiers, 10000 more than the whole number
placed ia the Guld by ihc Confederary during The
wnr aud II the present rate Of pensions Is kept up
IL viii not be long before The expenditure exceeds
the actual cost OF lhc war.
This is absurd on its very face Every
student Of the war is satisfied that, from the
very nature Of things, the rebels must have
had fully three times 100000 men in the
field. Every estimate by any man who
makes pretensions to historical information,
places the aggregate at from 100000 10
100000.
i, is impossible 10 give figures as 10 the
rebels with anything like the accuracy Of
the returns Of the Union armies for variety
Of reasons. The first is, that while the Union
armies were organized on a strictly business
basis, those Of The rebels were mere hordes,
raised by levy en- masse on the whole Of
that section Of the country. In the first the
men were regularly enrolled and accurately
reported Mt stated intervals. Every man
received so many dollars month, so much
clothing a year, so many pounds Of food
day, and such and such articles Of military
equipment were issued TO him. Conse-
quenuy the Adiutant-Genera the Quarter
master General, the Commssary- General,
the paymaster- General, and the Chief Of
Ordnance all had constant reports Of him,
ana one checked and verified the other 1t
was wholly different with the rebels. They
only made pretense Of doing these things.
They put into their armies every man they
could lay their hands on, kept him there as
long as they could, issued to him whatever
food, clothing, and arms they could get, and
he and they made the best OF it. Conse-
quontly, there are no concurrent reports to
verify and cheek each other The rebel
officers paid so little attention TO returns
that it is impossible 10 get anything like
exact figures Of their strength Ia any battle
or campaign. All that we can do is 10 take
such lragmentary returns as are available,
and by averaging up the whole make the
best guess possible An the time we are
embarrassed by the bombastic propcnsities
of the rebel writer's TO undersiate then
numbers and exaggerate those opposed to
them.
This fact, however, remains indisputable
The census Of 1860 showed that the IL State:
which attempted TO secede had the following

WE have seen many queer titles for pa

Siricen, which is the name of a new paper
started at Vinita, !. T., to interest the people

takes its name from the third verse of the
10th Chapter of ST. John: For God 80
loved the world that he gave His only be-
gotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life'

IN case of war, Italy would be particularly
vulnerable to our cruisers in her merchant
shipping. Having little other resources to
develop, she has for years been putting most
Of her capital and energy into merchant
marine, encouraging the building and sail
ing of ships by liberal bounties and other
favors. AS 4 result her sea-going feet is the
sixth in number Of vessels and tonnage
in the world-being exceeded only by that
of Great Britain, United States, Canada,
Norway, and Germany. She has about 800
vessels, with 100000 tonnage, where we
have $4,000 vessels Of 100000 tonnage.
Our swift cruisers would speedily drive the
Italians from the seas to the country's
enormous detriment.

EEREL RAWLINGS.
The Nashville American says:

The Nashville american says:
We fought for principle aud Tor our homes,
while the armies pitied against us were largely
made up OF foreigners IN many cases hired subzti-
tutes, who fought Tor the money there was ia IL.
VIII the American kindly specify what
principle" the rebel soldiers fought Tor,
and what has become Of that principle?
The armies pitted against Us, the figures
show, had about 81 per cent native-born
Americans. All but a very small proportion
of the foreigners were really naturalized
Irish, Germans, Scotch, English, Welsh, Sean
dinavians, etc, who had been residing in the
country for years, and were as truly citizens
as the men who fought beside them, and
vastly better and more intelligent and patri-
otto than the men who fought against them.
Ia every way these men were superior TO
the ignorant, vicious, and deluded mean
whites" "yaller-legs," sapd-hillers, clay
eaters" etc, whom the leaders Of the rebel
lion arrayed against them.
The "hired substitutes is another bOgy
which the pension-hating papers work in
cessantly. The statistics show that in all
there were less than $4,000 substitutes, or
less than in 80 Of the total enlistments.
