THEY FORGET.

The people who express surprise at the
size of the pensian-roil forget the immense
magnitude Of the struggle for National sai.
vation 81
They forget that it represents the bodily
disabilities incurred in the longest the great
est, and tbs bloodtest war In m edern history.
They forget that over 100000 mon fought
for four long years. during which time the
rife and cannon were not silent for a single
day; that more than 1000 battles took
place, many OF them the bloodiest ever
known; that 125,0o0 men were actually
shot dead on the field; that 5000 died
from disease produced by the hardships of a
soldiers LIFE, and nearly 100000 were more
OF less severely wounded by the missiles of
the enemy.
They forget that this means more hard
fighting was done and more lives lost than
in all of the armies Of Europe put together
in the last IS years. Al
If they would remember these things they
would be astonished that the penslon.roll is
not much larger than it is
Proportioaed to the number of men, and
the amount of fighting done by them, the
pension-roli of the United States is really
much smaller than that of any nation in
Europe

TO THE vErERAhs 81 THE UNION.

TO THE sErERANs n THE UNION.
COMRADES:
1t is hardly necessary to tell you that we
are in the midst of siimomentous battle for
veterans rights. Too many of you have
already been deeply hurt in some way
either by loss of pension, or employment, or
otherwise-to need auy sadmonition as to the
severity of the onslaught now being made
against veterans individually and collect
lively. s:e4sii
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE can say for
itself, that it long ago warned you, week
after week, Of what was coming from the
combination against You of the free-trade
selfshness of the Eastern seaports, ranking
apprehension in the North, and smolder-
ing rebelism in the South. Our prophecies
have come too true. AS your true and
watchful friend we pointed out the dangers
menacing you, and adjured you to rally on
the colors, and close up your ranks to meet
the shock.
We repeat this entreaty with the strongest
emphasis. You have had practical de-
moustration of the benefit of this. The
manifestation of the solidarity of the SOL
diers at the polls in Ohio and elsewhere
has already had most excellent effect.
1t has at least made our enemies pause
and consider, and called halt on some
Of the more outrageous schemes for in
juring the veterans, which were to have
been pushed in Congress this Winter. Had
not the veterans showed such solid front
as they did on Nov. z, there is no tell
ing to what lengths our enemies in Congress
might have gone. ANY marked division
of the soldier vote, we are certain, would
have resulted in the substantial repeal of
the disability bill, and the serious curtail-
rnent of other pension legislation.
We have had an experience the meaning
of which none can mistake. We have had
startling object-lesson as 10 the danger Of
dividing in the face of the enemy, and also
as to what we can accomplish when we act
ia unity. Let us remember this lesson
as long as we live. We are all getting too
old TO try any more such experiments. From
this time forward let US stand firmly to-
gether. presenting an unbroken front to all
enemies and opposers whatsoever" as our
old oath of enlistment ran.
We must not delude ourselves with the
idea that the recent victory was a conclusive
one. 1t was merely the opening struggle for
position. We must follow it up to gain the
decisive victory, OF rather to prevent our
enemies gaining the victory over as.
Let every veteran come into camp and
stay there. Let him make every politician
feel that he is resolute on this matter of vet
erans' rights, and viii resent any injury to
his comrades and their dependent ones.
We can only pass safely through the
stormy times that now confront us by the
utmost unity of action and interest
As ever in the past, the banner of THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE will lead the way in
dictated by the true interests of the COM
rades. Rally on us, march to the sound of
eur guns, and you win be in line of duty.
Yours, in F., C. and L.,

The public-at- large-the masses have
for some time enjoyed the benefits bestowed
by the great newspapers of the United

amount OF reading matter for very small
sums compared to that offered but a few

asked has prevented the middle classes from
enjoying the iuxuries provided by bright,
up-;e-date illustrated msgaziue. With their

Magazine stepped to the front with improved
,ae'lties aud still greater attractions, and
offered their magazine for 123 cents copy,

delighted, the journalistic world amazed.
All sorts of dark predictions were made by
competitors, but the masses received the
high class magazine with open arms, and
the following figures show their appreciation

they have net used, but they can WELD with

With grea. enthusiasm the work of Chris
tianizing the people of the beautiful Archi-
Pelago, and the immediate and crafty
ing fruits Of the first efforts greatly
stimulated the missionary spirit of the
churches. Now the restoration of the de-
graded Odd Queen is direct blow at all that
the Christians have been laboring for nearly
three-qsartsrs of q century to accomplish.
It viii 20 % far as her influence can to turn
the Islands back to heathenism. She not
only favors the opium, lottery, and coolie
iniquities, but is q pagan al heart, and would
build up paganism as an opposing force to
Christianity. She has encouraged and
taken part in the grossly-immoral and
heathenism rites, and has tried to restore
the heather priests to their old prestige and
influence.
The Christian people of the United States
will not allow the Government to put itself
into the position of aiding this woman of
mongrel blood to undo what the churches of
this country have taken such strong and
long continued interest in doing. The re-
ligious papers and the pulpits have begun
to take this matter up. and Secretary
Gresham will want to call upon the rocks
and mountains to fall upon and hide him.

Salem is the capital of Oregon, and,
according to the constitution of the
state, all public institutions must be
located there. This rule has not been
followed, and so Salem has taken steps
to compel the location of such institu-
tions at the seat of government. The
people who pay the taxes and the voters
of Oregon have some feelings in the mat
ter, and it is probable that Salem will
find that it has made very unwise
move in attempting to stir up this sub
ject. An injunction to prevent the loca-
tion of the Soldiers Home at Roseburg
is the first step taken. One to defeat
the act of the legislature in locating a
branch asylum in Eastern Oregon will
follow. Then an attempt will probably
be made on the Weston normal school,
the Monmouth normal school, the state
university, and the several charitable
institutions scattered throughout the
state. The result will be Salem will lose
its state capital, and it will go to Port
land.-West Side.
We can assure the West Side, as well
as all other sections of Oregon interested
that the people of this part of the state
are being worked up to a white heat ovel

antediluvian clause of the constitution
which is now as unjust as it is impolitic

gulf them. Mark the prophecy.

OUR BIRTHRIGHT.

At the time of the framing of the
clause in the constitution that all state
institutions should be located at Salem,
the companion proviso was that the seat
of government be located at Salem.
The whole plan was originated and was
engineered by wire pullers of Salem and
its immediate vicinity to the end that
Salem would thereby have political
and financial prestige assured. The
measure is outrageously unjust and sell
fish and was so in the beginning. The
fact that all the principals in this ma
neuver are now dead or, if living, have
long survived their usefulness, does not
the less prove it an injustice, and 1t is
now time that the vast section which
has since become populated east OF the
Cascades and south of the Calapooia
range should assert their rights. ltwas
all we'll enough when Salem had the
balance of power to enforce it to decree
that all state institutions should be To-
Gated at Salem, but now that the birth
right of Eastern and Southern Oregon If
being unfairly taken, it is not fitting thai
they should calmly suffer the infiiction
To regain our rights, then, constitu
tional convention should be called II
the near future, looking to a revision
all objectional features, and, independ
ent of the present party lines, an issu'
made between Salem and the balance
the state whether it shall continue t.
hog everything or divide more fairly
Whether, indeed it would not be bette
for the state to locate the capital itsel
at Portland.

Each to His own.

The story is told that the late r. B.
Hayes had for a neighbor in Ohio a testy
old fellow who ran a small truck farm.
He was honest and upright and Mr..
Hayes held him in high esteem, not
withstahding his lack of social ameni-
ties and respect for persons. On one of
his visits to Ohio during the presidency,
he passed the old mans farm and found
him planting potatoes in patch near
the road. The president, being some
what of farmer himself, noticed some
popularity in his neighbor's style. of
planting, and after few minutes chat
he called his attention to it, and the old
man argued the point awhile.
ssAfter all,'' concluded the president.
ST don't think you are doing it as it
should be done for the best results"
The old farmer rested his arm on the
fence and looked steadily at Mr.. Hayes.
'sThey amt neither one of u.s." he
said, ''above havin' fault found with us;
but eff you jest go on presidentin' the
United States your way, an go on
plantin' pertaters my way, I guess we
won't be no wuss off in the end"
Mr.. Hayes accepted the suggestion
pleasantly and passed on. = Boston

A Gillian county paper petitions It's
readers as follows:
stWe respectfully ask all our readers
to patronize only the business men whose
advertisements appear in this paper.
By not asking for the patronage through
the local paper, it is proof that they do
not want the trade, and are therefore
not deserving of it."
A newspaper that will promulgate
such narrow -mindedness as this deserves
to have all of its patronage withdrawn.
Let not such a paper ever pronounce
upon the evil of trusts or the curtail-
ment of liberty of any kind. A business
house that does not advertise should be
allowed to die peacably. But there may
be reasons of personal character for
not advertising which is no business oi
the general public, but whom this paper
would make a catspaw to fulfil its petty
spite. This is disgraceful, even for 6
