NATIONAL ENcAMPMENT.

The President Asks Congress For an Ap-
pr0prlatiOn to Aid the G. A. r. National
Encampment.
WASHINGTON, March 26. "A message
from the president transmitting COM
munication from the district commits
sioners, accompanied by letter from
the chairman of the executive commit
tee of the O. A. R. encampment to be
held next September, was laid before
the senate yesterday.
An appeal is made for $10o, 600, one
half to be paid by the district for the
expenses of the encampment The
president says; "The event is one Of
national interest and the attendance
of surviving union soldiers will prob
ably be larger than at any encamp-
ment that has ever been held The
parade of the survivors of our
great armies on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. will bring wildly back those
momentous days when the great
armies of the east and west marched
through the streets of Washington ia
high parade and were received by our
citizens with joyful acclaim. It seems
to me that it would be highly appro-
pirate for congress to aid in making
this demonstration impressive and in
extending to those soldiers whose lives
beneficent providence has prolonged
an opportunity to see in the security
and peaceful development and pros
perity which now so happily prevail al
the national capital, the fruits of theil
sacrifice and valor. "

President Harrison is an acute poll
tician.
When he was a candidate for the
presidency in 1888 he sent his law part
ner, Mr.. Miller, to Chicago to collect
funds wherewith to carry Indiana, and
he received five thousand dollar re-
sponses from such patriots as Samuel
Allerton and George M. Pullman. He
is now powerful as chief executive and
is no longer under the necessity Of
begging money contributions, but he
remains the acute politician, for he is q
candidate for reelection and is still
using his law partner, Mr. Miller, who
is now, through his favor, attorney gem
eral of the United States
It is cheap politics to harvest APP
plause for commencing suits against
alleged combines. In 1888 Miller got
no money out of one Phil Armour, who
is said to be connected with dressed
beef combine. But, nevertheless, some
capital may be made out of him by

A Decree ForblddIng Russian Jews From
Passing Through Germany.
BERLIN, March 26.-The Breslau Zeit-
ung yesterday published the text of an
imperial decree prohibiting the passage
of Russian jews through Germany.
The decree is very rigorous and those
Jews to whom the frontier committees
guarantee support and those provided
with money and tickets for passage on
ocean steamers are refused entry into
Germany equally with those jews who
are entirely destitute and friendless
The police are warned under penalty
of severe punishment to carry out to
the letter the instructions contained in
the decree and under no circumstances
to permit any evasion of the law by
the large number of Jews who are try
ing to enter Germany through Galicia-
As it is impossible to make the decree
known throughout Russia, thousands
of Jews, ignorant of the prohibition,
are certain to arrive at the frontier
where, as they will be halted and will
not be permitted to proceed further, it
will be impossible to provide accoms
modations for them.
A few cases have already occurred
where Jews endeavoring to get into
this country despite the warning they
have received have been shot down
while attempting to pass the frontier
guards
The committees which have .been
formed for the purpose of providing re-
lief for these unfortunate people say
that an enormous number Of the jews
are seeking to escape from Russian
tyranny and persecution and are ready
to emigrate whenever the opportunity
offers,
The committees after a careful study
of the subject estimate that 400, 600
| LaKH are trying to leave Russia.

other members of the family was the
household cat. Tabby did not like the
change, and for several days after her
arrival at Bismarck wandered around
aimlessly, mewing pitifully at the cars
rs they passed. One day last week the
boys at the depot noticed Tahby jump
ing on the trucks of the sonthbound
freight train. The conductor aud brake
men were told of their extra passenger.
and resolved to watch her. At Hogan
Tabby was still ON the trucks: at An
napoiis she was routed by the boys, but
climbed on again before the train
started: at Gads Hill she was fired
and chased into the brush, but again
she made connections, and when the
train reached Piedmont she left her seat
with the air of conquerer and trotted
up town. .-Ironton (Mo.) Truth
