AT THE OLD STAND.

Though saddened by defeat, The Ma
TToEAL TRIBUNE lis not a particle dis
couraeed. 1t will continue to do business
Ut the old stand, and not abate one whit OF
its yigor in advocating veterans rights and
the cause of loyalty and good Government.
More than ever these now need such a
champion as it ia. These are the days when
Sunshine friends and Summer patriots fall
Of Ekulkers and deserters will abound,
and fair-weather allies will pass BY on the
other side to the camps of the enemy.
But The NATIONAL TRIBUNE will not
alter Ifs course in the slightest II will meet

THE report of the Adjutant- General of
the United States Army shows that soldier
ing is becoming more attractive to our peo-
pie. Out of 9,s47 recruits accepted last
year, 6,652 were native born and 3,195 for
eigners. Another point is that schools to
which Regular Army officers have been as
signed as instructors are rapidly increasing
the number Of their scholars. Last year
they had in all 1884 scholars, which was
an increase of 2,767 over the previous year,
and of 5000 over the year before that.

THE annexation feeling constantly grows
stronger in Canada, and many papers which
a year or two ago denounced annexation in
strong terms now appear veering toward
such a contamination as affordipg the best
hope for the Dominion. Whenever Canada
is fully ready to come in upon exactly the
same terms that the rest of the States have
entered we shall be glad to receive her, but
no one should lift finger to induce or foros
her to enter. 1t must be her own free and
unInfuenced will.

FROM A MONEY STANDPOINT.

The recent National Encampment at
Washington was decided eye-opener as to
the pecuniary advantages to the city which
is honored as the place of holding these
great annual gatherings of the veterans.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has discussed
this matter before, and pointed out that the
veterans spent fully 100000 in ST. Louis.
This was probably much under the mark,
and undoubtedly they spent nearly double
that sum in Columbus, Milwaukee, Boston,
and Detroit. The papers in the latter city
estimated that the veterans left there
$2,500,000 There were, by actual count,
318,000 visitors to Washington during the
National Encampment. 1t would be a
small estimate to allow an average expendi-
ture of $40 apiece for each visitor. This
would mean total of So, 10000 distributed
among the 100000 people of the National
gains. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad re-
ceived $75O,O0O for tickets. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad probably did approximately
as well, and the other railroads entering
Washington had a fair share of business
So there was satisfactory gain all around
from the Encampment, and the business
men of Washington and the railroads, are
loud in their praises Of the Grand Army
and the veterans. They would like to have
another Encampment held here next year.

WHILE the Cleveland papers claimed
enormous numbers of veterans who were
going to vote for Cleveland, it was singular
how few and insignificant were the public

INSURANCE IN THE SONS OF VET
ERANS,

ERANs
There is good prospect now that some
thing definite will be done in the way of a
suitable insurance system for the Sons OF

That a standing committee Of three on insurance
be appointed by the Commander-in-Chief TO care
fully investigate. formulate a plan and report at
the 18th annual Encampment of the Commandery-
in-Chief
In pursuance with this, COMMANDMENTS
Chief Marvin E. Hall has appointed the fol-
lowing brothers to constitute the committee
S. Jay Crumbine, Dodge City, Kan; A. W.
Batchelder, Salem, Mass; w. r. Cooper,
Knoxville, Tenn.
This is very competent committee, and
will undoubtedly produce something that
will meet the approval Of the Encampment
Other beneficiary orders have had such long
experience with insurance systems, and
these have been 30 well matured by many
years of successful operation, that the devils
ing . plan suited to the Sons Of Veterans
will not be work Of either great difficulty
or uncertainty The Order should have had
an efficient insurance system in operation
long ago. There is no Order in the country
better suited to good insurance system
none in which such thing will do more
good.
1t is the one thing needed to develop the
Order, give 1t solid, permanent growth
and hold it firmly together. We have ali
seen the wonderful growth of societies
which had little, if anything, beyond the
insurance feature to draw members ints
their ranks and hold them there. The Sons
of Veterans have much to unite them that
no other class of our citizens can have With
good beneficiary system added, the Order
can in few years be built up to where it.

of thousands.
Let no one underrate this matter. Insur.
| ance against sickness and death is receiving
the greatest attention all over the civilized
world. Every year it is occupying more
and more of the thoughts of all classes. In
| Europe State insurance is being actively
agitated, but the strongest opposition to this
comes from the great beneficiary societies

own members, and do not wish to be taxed

ST LOUIS, April s. According to the
firm belief of II. g. Sparks, a reputable
citizen Of Benton, n suburban town west
of this city, the missing Charley Ross,
stolen from his parents in Philadelphia
on July 1, 1874, is found.
If Mr. Sparks is correct in his belief,
Charley Ross, now arrived at mans es-
tate, is at present living with and EN-
ployed by him at Benton, and the world
famous mystery of the greatest abduc-
tion sensation known to criminal annals
is about to be cleared up forever.
So strong is the evidence already gath
cred in the case that a relative of the
boy is now enroute from Philadelphia to
Benton. Mo-, to meet the young man.
The relative is expected to reach here to-
day
Mr.. Sparks says that about four months
ago young man bearing the appearance
of tramp applied to him for work.
After becoming acquainted with him the
young man told him enough of his his.

The Agreement Signed by MIR. Bl.ine
and Sir Julian Pnuncefote.
WASHINGTON, April 9-There are strong
reasons for believing that renewed
modus vivendi on the Behring Sea
matter. the terms of which were agreed
upon between Sir Julian Pauncefote and
Mr.. Blaine, was submitted to the Presi-
dent by Gen. J. w. Foster yesterday
morning and, meeting with his entire
approval, was signed by Mr.. Blaine and
Sir Julian Pauncefote.
Confirmation of this belief is found in
the fact that Lord Salisbury started for
the Continent last night, undoubtedly
with a view of laying the matter before
the Queen. If further confirmation were
needed it might perhaps be found in the
facts that our own State Department
officials have suddenly become dumb as
oysters, and that President Harrison has
gone snipe shooting.
