REUNION OF VETERANS.
Twenty.seventh National Encam
ment of the G. A. r. opened.

Twenty-seventh National Encamp-
ment of the G. A. II. opened.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 4-Thanks to
fine weather and successful carrying out
of the admirable arrangements per-
fected by the local committees. the 9th
national encampment of the G. A. Il.
opened most auspiciously. So far as the
number of visitors from outside points
is concerned the success of the encamp-
ment is assured. Not all of these, how
ever, were veterans. In fact, the boys
in blue are almost lost in the throngs.
The hardy, hoop pole yeomanry, with
their wives and children and other rel
atives, near and remote, form large
proportion of the arrivals. As to the
veterans, the arrivals, outside of the
state posts, are not by any means up to
expectations. A good many states
send less than half the total that had
been scheduled month ago as certain
to be here, while a few are likely to
make even poorer showing. In the
encampment proper fully 100
delegates, if not more, will fail. to
answer to the roll CALL Hard times
and the continued stringency in the
money market, especially in the far
Western states. is
The Ascribable Cause.
But the crowds are here and even If
there are a quartette OF civilians to
every veteran, Indianapolis is just as
well contented and happy. Almost on
the very spot in Military park where 81
years ago the citizens presented to
Colonel Harrison and his newly organ
lied Seyentieth regiment of volunteers
the standards Of Indiana and the
United States to carry before them to
the war, the ex-president dedicated
"Camp Wilder" the name bestowed
upon some 300 tents in which the re-
union of veterans and soldiers societies
will be in full blast for the remainder
of the week. About 5000 people par
ticipated in the exercises which includ-
ed addresses by w. A. Ketcha1n, Gen.
eral John T. Wilder, for whom the
camp is named, and General Harrison.
Candidates for Commander.
Now that goodly proportion or the
men who make and unmake the rulers
of the organization are on the ground,

dates for the Office of commander-in-

rhe Enidemio Of Lfberty

The idea embodied in American insti-
tutions is the most radical that ever took
the concrete shape of legislation. We
may say, without being charged with a
boastful spirit, that we have on the
whole the best government on the planet
That is to say, the government which
offers the largest opportunities and pro-
duces the greatest amount of content
ment and prosperity.
It is good thing for 100000 of our
citizens to visit Europe every summer in
order to compare the condition of affairs
abroad with that enjoyed at home. And
it is safe to assert that no man can travel
in England or Germany or Russia or
Italy without reaching the proud conclu-
sion that the American flag represents
more popular rights and more advanced
political economy than any other strip of
bunting that floats in the breeze. The
tourist who reaches Sandy Hook after a
three or six months journey in foreign
lands without having his pulse jumpinto
the nineties ought to have been born In

OWNING A HOME.

The Record of the Farming PopuIa-
tion of Minnesota a Good One.
WAsHNaFeNs Sept. - ownership
and Debt in Minnesota" is the subject
of a bulletin just issued by the census
bureau. In this some very interesting
information is given regarding the
number of city homes and farms that
are mortgaged and the number that are
free from incum brance. According to
the summary made by the statisticians
only 1926 per cent of the families on
farms rent, while S475 per cent own
their farms; of this 84.75 per cent more
than one-half own without incum-
brance, or to be exact 10 out of each 100
rent, SO own with incumbrance, while
46 own the farms they operate. The
total mortgage debt on the owned farms
is $37, ,7O9. 574, which is 81 per cent of
their value. The average rate of inter-
est paid is S.19 per cent. The record
regarding those who own homes and
those who rent them does not read or
look so we'll. In 100 families So hire
their homes, II own with incumbrance
and 80 without incumb1 ance.

An Order Benefiting Many Pension
Claimants.
WASHINGTON, Sept. A. Commissioner
Lochren, of the pension bureau, has
issued an order Withdrawing that of
June II, 1895, rating cases under the act
of June 27, 1890. The order reads:
thereafter in afhxing rates under this
act the medical referee OF the medi-
cal officer in the board of revision shall
weigh each debility and determine the
degree that each debility of the COM
bined disabilities disa bles the claimant
from earning support by man
ual labor, and rate corresponding
to this degree shall be allowed. In
cases in which the penaioner has
reached the age of rs, his rate shall not
be disturbed if he is receiving the
maximum, and if he is not a pensioner
he shall receive the maximum for senil-
ity alone, if there are no special pen
sionable disabilities shown"
This order shall benefit and claimants
who have been denied ratings under
the former practice. Under the new
order the contributory causes of dis
ability, constituting mental or physi-
cal incapacity to earn support by man
ual labor, are taken into account.

Harmony and Erudition.

There is popular fallacy among par
ents that harmony means erudition,- and
erudition Of so abstruse a nature as to be
quite beyond the reach of the every day
child and to be reserved for the later
years after he is grown up, if undertaken
at all, and then chiefly when the youth
or maiden has what is called talent. !"
All, the much abused wordl How glad
ly would all artists Danish it from the
vocabulary and from the ears of the
American child! Harmony is only gram
mar, and grammar of such an entertain
ing kind that if rightly presented it is
fascinating, and Of a nature so essential
that the musical nonpossessor of it,
young or old, is crippled.-Harpers Ba.

fined to their own states.

Brilliant Reception.
The reception rendered by the citi-
zens' committee at Tomlinson hall in
the evening to the officers and delegates
OF the national encampment was a
brilliant social function. General Har-
rison delivered the address of welcome,
Commander-in-C Chief Weissert made the
response and musical selections were
rendered by Mrs. Zelda Sequin Wallace
and grand chorus. AS finale there
was dancing programme of 12 num-
bers. Later in the evening General

rades of the Army of the Cumberland.

All that is desired is to get the bodies
out OF the way as quickly as possible,
to prevent epidemics resulting from
their rapid decomposure. No accurate
record is kept of the number of dead,
and the statistics of the disaster will
never be fully known. On each island
and on the mainland the survivors are
burying all the remains of the victims
that can he found. Coroners certificates
are out of the question. Searching
parties make their way around the
plantations and homes, and as soon as
body is found it is put under the
ground. Whenever whites are with
these parties some sort of record is
kept, but the greater number of burials
are made by negroes.
The black belt on the coast has lost
not less than 1000 of its population,
with probability that it is twice the
number. It will be week before all
the dead are found, as there is still
much water on the islands, beneath
which there are undoubtedly many

WASHINGTON, Sept. s. The opening
Of the week finds increased interest in
the financial situation in congress, and
senators are being sharply called upon
by the public to indicate where they
stand. The following poll of the senate
upon the repeal bill has been given out
as the one submitted to President
Cleveland for personal information:

Several senators are paired on the
question, but should every senator vote
the above is believed to be fairly ac-
curate statement of the standing of
senator's. AS will be seen, the list of
senator's set down as ''for repeal" con-
tains several who as last resort only
will vote for an unconditional repeal.
Some of them would much prefer tc
have the bill amended, but should they
fail in this they are said to be prepared
to vote for the unconditional repeal,

CINCINNATI, Sept. 4.-What will
prove, perhaps, the most disastrous
street car accident ever recorded took
place in this city at Z p. m. An electric

pole and shot into a saloon, wrecking
both itself and the structure it struck.
As result of the collision two people
are dead, six are injured beyond recov-
cry and nearly 40 more are hurt, many
of them dangerously.

Voorhees, Thinks the Silver Bill Will
Be Disposed of In Ten Days.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Senator Voor-
hees is authority for the statement that
the senate will vote on the repeal bill
inside of 10 days. He says there is one
more speech to be heard on the ultra
free silver side. That is Jones of Ne
vada, who at the outside can talk only
two days. That will allow plenty of
time for the Southern senators who
want to square themselves with their
constituents to make remarks of rea-
sonable length. Senator Roach also
said he had learned from some of the
silver senators they did not expect to
filibuster. Some predict vote inside
of week.
