The story is told Of the governor of 4
certain western state that at one time
he was in a remote region and had to
pass one night in log cabin which
served rs inn for 4 small settlement.
The quarters were limited and it fell
out that the governor must sleep with
a voting 1rishman employed about the
place.
This arrangement was not exactly to
the taste of the state official, but he
was forced to submit to it. But he
could not refrain from making his con-
descension known to his room mate.
"Mike," he said impressively, as he
was getting ready for the night, "you
would stay long time in the old coun-
try before you would ever have chance
of sleeping with governor
"Shure," assented Mike, promptly.
But meself is thinkin' - he added,
sagely, THAT you'd have to stay a long
time in the ould country before your
honor would be governor. .''-Youth's

PITTSRuHG NEXT YEAR

Everybody is pleased with the selection of
Pittsburg as the place for holding the Ma
tional Encampment Of 1894.
The locality has deep historic interest to
every American, for every one began his or
her education with reading the history of
the struggles for the possession of the highly
important confluence Of the Aliegany and
Monongahela Rivers. 1t was in these Wash
ington took his first lessons in warfare and
the memorable massacre of Braddoek and
his men occurred.
Pittsburg was one of the most loyal cities
in the country, and sent many thousand OF
her stalwart sons TO battle for the Union.
No more interesting place to visit exists
on the face of the earth. The iron-mills,
the glass-houses, and the varied manufacto-
ries will be of the deepest interest to all
veteran visitors, and they will wish they had
months there to see all that they want to.
Then the hospitality will be boundless.
Pitisburg is like Boston in doing verything
that she attempts with magnificent
tboroughness, and her entertainment Of the
National Encampment will be thing long
to be remembered.

WHEN WILL HE DO TT

Still Commissioner Lochren hesitates to
take the step we have insisted on as neces-
sary for the vindcation of his comrades. II
he could have heard the expressions OF
opinions among the comrades attending the
recent National Encampment, we think he
would hesitate no longer
They were unanimous for it, and enthu-
siastically unanimous. 1t seemed to them
the surest and most effective way of stem
ming the tide of calumny against them,
which has been rolling over the land 50
long.
eff we can stand the examination of l, 900
test cases. certainly our enemies ought to be
willing to. If we ask an investigation it
ought not to be refused u.s." was heard
wherever group of comrades were gathered
together. They are all thinking about it,
all desiring it as an answer to the ISLANDERS
of their enemies.
They know that they and their comrades
were not poaltroons and shirks in the hour
of the Nations trial. and they know that the
records will show this most conclusively if
the facts are laid before the public. They
have right to have the generation which
has grown up, or come into the country since
the war, made acquainted with the great
ness of fine seryipas ran3ared nv the men
who are on the pension-roll.
The best way to do this is to give all the
taken consecutively from near the middle
of the roll, and we feel sure that Commits
sioner Lochren viii soon see the wisdom of
doing this.
The National tribune., 1893-09-14

Said he: al will always remember pleasantly
our Shenandoah riding account of one cir
cumstance We noticed at one particular hOuse
along the road that every time we went By
girl of abont II would appear and wave to
us a small Union flag Well. we got 70 liking
her, and one day We made il up TO show her
that we appreciated her act. and each of Us de.
termned 10 give her present. / smile to this
day when think of it, Each Of we rode By
leaned over the fence and dropped our presents
inside. Nearly every nam had a story book for
her. Some threw over small hand-niFrOrs,
combs Of the kind in style and cheap jegelry.
Some dropped recent copies OF illustrated news.
papers, and several of the older fellows left
their presents in the shape Of cheap dress pat
terms. We were all in earnest in the matter,
and when got by the yard was nearly full.
l confess to liking to this day for that Union
girl. We never knew her name. The old 9th
on that occasion may have been a little swk-
ward in its manner but its heart was all right"
They were talking about the drought. when
meek-lO0kiug Kansas veteran said: Your
Indiana drought Amt to DO compared with the
Kansas drought Of three years ago. We ddn's
during all that Summer whip a child or have
a funeral preached. Water was so scarce we
couldn't spare our tears. In neighbor-
hood we had TO haul water from well nine
miles TO havs water enough to run the ferry"
One of he veterans from Joe Hooker Post as
Dstons. Fla, was telling how they conduct Post
meetings in the swampy and scattered regions
of the Southland. At the full of the moon each
month they come By boats from hundred miles
around. There they stay and have a good,
warm Campfire, with the regulation campfire
life, for three days With this strengthening
of their patriotism they adjourn for the moon to
waDe and wax again.

ADJUTANT-GESERAL GRAY.

CommaEder-in-Chief Weissert was pc
culiarly fortunate in being able to call to his
assistance in the important Office of Adiutant-
General comrade who had already filled
that position with great credit to himself
and to the administration of Commander-in-
Chief Faircnild. Col. e. 3. Gray has
naturally all the qualities that make a good
Adjutant- General, and his first year of ex-
perience had developed those qualities His
second year of service in the position was
thus even more satisfactory than his first,
and he passes into the record as one of the
very best Acknowledgements that the Grand
Army of the Republic ever had.
The National tribune., 1893-09-14
CONMANDER-IN-C wEISSERT

Commander-in-C Chief Weissert retires from
the high Office to which the comrades elected
him year ago followed by the esteem, adj
miration and affection of all of them. His
year of administration has been in many
respects very trying one, but he has never
failed to rise at once to the requirements OF
