We made our appeal TO Its COMMANDMENTS Chief
who kindly issued General Orders No z, indorsinG

that every soldier who has served under him will
desire TO do this and every soldier of the United
States should for he stands among the very first OF
the great commanders of the world. We ask you
TO give, we do not care how small the sum, because
when this statue is erected we purpose 20 publish
the name of every soldier who has contributed 10
| 1t. Every soldier Of the Grand Army should re-
member that Gen. Sherman-no matter what the
dscomioris 10 hm-was present ut your annual
Eucampments and made you all proud and happy;
and we appeal TO you now to aid in this great duty
| We request that every State Department Com
mander make special appeal TO his command,
and we ask every Post TO appeal 10 its own mem
bers, and have each one contribute something no
matter II 1t IL only fiv. 10 cents; 1T Is not the
amount we look at, ii is the fact that when this
| statue is erected in Washington every soldier who
sees II will feel that it Is part of his eHort-Coi.

Gen. Palmer, the COMMANDMENTS Chief OF the
Order, issued circular recently, in which he in-
sisted on the white Posts recognizing and atlilia-

will probably lead TO some complication and may
be deemed INSTRUMENTATION, for which they would
be liable to have their charters Withdrawn. The
whites are determined 10 have 't'nigger in
theirs and are indifferent to the outcome. The
