BE Careful Regarding Facts and Historical
Matters.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: After 27
wears it is very pleasant to be here again to at
tend the Goth anniversary of the GAR, and
we are proud to be identified with such noble
BODY of patriots We are also proud of our Ma
tion's history, and feel rather chagrined to hear
n MISREPRESENTATION of facts pertaining thereto.
On Saturday, Sept "a, while viewing the pic
lures in the Capitol, q young upstart, in look
ing at the battle of Lake Erie, said: That is
Paul Jones in the boat" 1 said: young
man. you are grandly mistaken; Paul Jones
was in the Revolution, while the battle of Lake
Erie was fought by Commodore Perry in 1913"
Said he: 81 believe you are right"
A little while after big, burly GA. K. man,
in looking at the Same picture, said to young
lady: "There is the man who said Don't
give IN the Ship" "Hold on" said !, Com.
rade, that expression was uttered by Capt.
Lawrence, of the Chesapeake, captured by the
British frigato Shannon off Boston in the
American War;
"Well, WE'LL" said he, let us have no dis
putting here" and on he went.
In this way too many errors and plumbers
are made and handed down from one to an
other, and even get into print. While we
would advise all reporters to be careful and
tell facts, we would advise all receivers OF re-
ports to investigate and know whether what
they hear is true and authentic or not.-W 81.

of what the writer knew and thought OF the great
conflict; OF the gallant fellows who survived it, as
well as OF those who went down that day into the
valley and shadow of death.
On the heads of surviving veterans would in
woke Heavens choicest blessings!
IL rs one of the glorious memories OF my life, now
passed beyond the meridian, that in that great
struggle wore the blue; and for the heroes who

the words of the gifted Ingersoll, have but one
sentiment: Cheers for the living and tears for the
dead" Very truly. yours,
