AN EXTRA COPY.

Some comrades may receive an extra copy
of this weeks NATIONAL TRIBUNE, which
comrade who, they know, is not a subscriber,
but should be. Every man who wore the
blue should be on the subscription-list of
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE during this great
fight for veterans rights. Try to bring all
the boys into camp. The more subscribers
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has, the better
fight it can make.

| to maintain the sacredness of the mar
riage bond, or the right of a man to
worship God according to the dictates OF
his own conscience. These were quite as
much issues in the conflict as the right OF
selfgovernment.
Rosser says that he has surrendered
the right to secede because physically
unable to maintain it against overwhelm-
ing numbers" If this means anything
it means that he reserves the privilege OF
reasserting the right at any time when
he may think the numbers are not "over-
whelming." This is precisely the danger
that We have pointed out as rising from
the sedulous cultivation of Confederate
memories and flags in the South. 1t is
exactly in line with Caves infammatory
screed about Nero on the throne, and
Paul beheaded; Christ on Calvary, etc.
The people of the United States be-
lieve that the war was much more than
a trial Of strength between two sets of
contestants. They think that it had
moral elements quite different from a
struggle at football between two rival
colleges. It was a solemn appeal to
Heaven-to the hearts and consciences
of all men as to what was the right. 1t
was submission of the question to the
adjudication of the grandest court that
the world ever saw assembled. A jury
of nearly 100000 men were assembled
Oh both sides to determine not only upon
their oaths and consciences, but upon
their sacred honor and lives, which was
the right. Fully 100000 of them
persisted in the course of the adjudi-
cation. Is a verdict obtained with
such awful, sacred solemnity ever to
be questioned afterward? Is such a
Judgment to be made the sport of
any ranting blatherskite who can get
the hearing of an audience equally
thoughtless with himself? If ever the
voice of the people were the voice of
God it was when the millions of Ameri-
cans resolved to die rather than see the
Union destroyed, and overcame, with
infinite toll and bloodshed, those who
held contrary opinion. In no human
or divine sense was this suppression or
an overpowering of right. 1t was the
most emphatic and conclusive decision
possible on earth that the thing claimed
as right, was absolutely, unequivocally
and utterly wrong. All the decisions
put together of Ecumenical Councils,
Popes, Conventions and other high tri-
bunals do not approach in sublime au-
thority that of the American Nation in
arms assembled from 1861 to 1865.
Rosser's prating about the GAR.
and pensions is merely malignant, in
sulting lying for which he has not a
shred of fact as basis.
Commander-in-C Chief Adams has done
entirely right in cutting short the discus
sion with this virulent wind-bag, who
only wants to attract attention to himself
and gain cheap notoriety.

ARE YOU GOING
TO THE
NATIONAL EEcAMPMENT 2
Y ES?
Then the National Tribune VIII Fur
nish You Transportation.

The comrades are now beginning to
think seriously of attending the great Ma
tional Encampment Of the Grand Army
of the Republic, which is to be held in
Pittsburg next September. AS usual,
the question of transportation is the first
one to consider, and here THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE comes in with its offer of
assistance, as it has done In previous
National Encampments. 1t will give
every comrade an easy chance of obtain
ing a frst-class ticket over the railroad
from his home to Pittsburg and return,
by obtaining small club of subscribers
tothe paper. This is great opportunity.
All the old veterans want THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE, and are ready to take
it if some one will ask them to subscribe.
Anyone can get a ticket with little
effort. Write to us for further informa-
ton as to the number of subscribers we
will require for a ticket.
Some comrades may find it easier or
prefer to solicit for subscribers to The
american Farmer, as there may be many
more farmers than veterans among their
neighbors. We will make the same offer
for clubs for that paper.
Write us at once for terms and SAM
pie copies and begin work at once.
Subscribers can be sent in as they are
obtained, and will be credited on the
ticket offer. IF enough are not secured
to entitle the canvasser to ticket they
can be applied on any other premium.

In AvERY interesting article on MEX
leo Under President Diaz," in the North
american Reviesc, Prince Iturbide says:
There was our exotic Constitution. This
consists. in part, of statement of Rights
of Man as they were inspired by the
French Revolution; and in what concerns
the political division and Government of
the Republic, it is, practically, translation
into the Spanish language of the Constitu-
ton of the United States. I can
not exaggerate the evil that has accrued to
the Latin Republics Of America from the
frenzy of their radical politicians for blind
imitation of the institutions of the United
States. Those theorists appear to have over
looked the fact that the true merit of the
American Magma Charta consists in that it
implies no sudden change from accustomed
laws, no abrupt departure from the tradi-
tons of the people it is meant to govern,
but it gives to habit and TO necessary innO-
vations the sanction of law.
This suggests one great question in
connection with immigration which has
SO far been unnoticed. The people of
England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Hol-
land, Germany, Denmark, Norway, and
Sweden have always been living under
laws and institutions very similar to
those they find in this country. 1t is
true that they have had aristocratic and
monarchical institutions, but these were
really only incidents, and they were es-
sentially free, selfgoverning peoples, and
have been SO from time immemorial.
Consequently their habits of thought
are very similar to ours, and they fall
readily into our ways of administering
justice, thinking and acting. Not SO the
people from Italy, Bohemia, Poland,
Russia, etc. From time immemorial
they have been held down under
grinding, merciless despotism, which
ruled them by terror and force, and
which it was their aim to Illustrate when
they could. They are not like the
people of the north of Europe in
regarding the enforcement of the
laws as part of their own duty
as citizens and as something in
tended for their own good, but rather
as the arbitrary exercise of power by
some centralized and despotc agency,
only caring for its own selfish good. and
which is to be evaded and defeated
whenever it can be done with safety.
A man from Great Britain, Germany
or Scandinavia is naturally disposed to
find out what the law is and obey it. If
he don't like it he will join with others
to have it changed, but he is firmly of
the belief that there should be some
kind of law which all men must obey.
On the other hand, the Pole, Bohemian
or Italian is likely to look upon all laws
as oppressive edicts, emanating from an
ignorant and selfish despotism and in
tended to injure or annoy him. Of
course, if these men do not come here in
great numbers we can educate them into
our ways of thinking, but it will be
harder and slower work than with the
immigrants from Northwestern Europe.

REFRESHING ANARCHY.

Of course there is now much talk Of
legislation repressive of Anarchists and
anarchy. Very much of this is wild and
impracticable. All that is practicable,
and all that should be done, is to make
it much more emphatic in our laws and
their execution that, while allowing the
largest liberty to speech and peaceful
methods of agitation, any suggestions of
violence to persons and property shall be
sternly punished. No man or set of men
should be allowed to advocate even re-
motely any resort to violence. There
should be strong and definite penalties for
any counseling of murder, arson, destruc-
ton of property, or other forms of terror
izing, and these should be imposed relent-
lessly. Men who preach these Internal
doctrines should be held to be accomplices
in any overt acts that result, and punished
as severely as the tools who carry out their
teachings. The poor fools who throw
bombs, or shoot or stab, or wreck trains
or burn buildings should not be made
to suffer any worse than the men with
whom they have associated, and who
have encouraged and applauded their
crimes. Sending to the gallows or the
penitentiary of the whole nest of rascals
to which they belong will speedily make
anarchistic teachings unpleasant, and
stop these outrages ON society. Let us
have specific law that any man who
counsels murder or arson actully COM
mits the crime in minor degree, and is
liable to punishment, and then let us
have that punishment infallibly inflicted.
And we must have no more Altgelds
and Pennoyers Governors of States
Such men, holding the pardoning power,
are the greatest possible menace to life
and property. If Altgeld had not been
Governor of Illinois, Prendergast would
not have shot Mayor Harrison.

FUNDS FOR INVESTIGATION.

Quite lively debate was precipitated
in the House last Saturday. by Col.
Cogswell, of Massachusetts,, reading a
couple of letters from the Pension Blu
reau ; one to a constituent of his, in
forming her that her claim required
special investigation, but that, owing to
the failure Of Congress to provide the
necessary funds, her case could not be
reached until some time in 1895. The
other letter was one sent to Col. Cogs-
well in reference to the case, and merely
said that the case could not be reached
until 1895. Col. Cogswell called the
Houses attention to the fact that a
different letter had been written to his
constituent than to him, and to the fact
that In the first there was censure of
Congress. The question Immediately
arose as to whether the Pension Bureau
had told the truth in the letter.
Mr.. Dockery stated that in the Com
mittee on Appropriations there had been
an unanimous opinion that 100000
was sufficient. This was in the neigh
borhood of the average appropriation for
the past six years. Last year the Com
missioner of Pensions had been given
100000, and this year he wanted
100000.
The debate which followed we have
given in full in another column, and
will be found mighty interesting read

10 PREVENT BLINDNESS


laws To tuufsh Nurses FOR ignorance and
Carelesmess In Neglecting Babies
The STAG Medical society has done
well in calling public attention to the
fact that a large proportion Of the blind
ness Of the world is due to the disease
called ophthalmia neonatorum, and that
the well known treatmentof this disease
hy u ply sician at a sufficiently early pc.
riad inits course almost always results
in preventing the blindness that would
otherwise follow, For this reason the
society recommends the enactment Of
law that has been already adopted in
number Of states, to this effect.
Should one or both eyes of an infant
become inflamed or swollen or Redeemed
at any time within two weeks after its
birth, it shall be the duty Of the midwife
Or nurse having charge Of such infant 70
report in writing within six hours to Che
health officer or some legally qualified
| physician Of the city, town or district in
which the parents Of the infant reside
the fact that such Inflammation or SWELL
ing or redness of the ewes exists.
1 The proposed statute imposes renal
\ ty for noncompliance. A specific penal
1 ty is necessary to make any statute ef-
fsctive, but the value Of such sn enact
ment would be mainly to draw atten-
ton to the necessity Of timely action.
since it is improbable that any parent or
nurse would willfully neglect the precau-
tions necessary 70 save child from
/ blindness If the nature of the case were
understood. For this reason the deola-
ration OF duty made in the paragraph
\ quoted, if it could be universally circu.
lated, might accomplish almost as much
Us if formally enacted BY the legislature.
\ The common affection referred to, the
'"sore eyes Of newly horn infants, is one
Z that yields almost certainly to overy sim
/ pie treatment. promptly and skillfully sp-
lliisil, hut that almost as certainly goes
en- 10 destructive inflammation if neglect
ed, and one Of the reasons why 80 many
infants become blind is simply that those
ia charge Of them do not understand, as
iany physician would, withwhat serious
matter they have to deal.
A legislative enactment would make
it easier for health officers and Others to
bring the subject to general attention
and especially to impress its importance
upon those who are recognized as nurses
or midwives. The greatest number of
cases of neglect, however. occur anon;
the very poor, or in the remote country,
where these things are left to volunteers
and hygienic Intelligence psnetrates
slowly. and we shall have to IHinglesome
education with our Legislation success
fully to combat this dreadful scourge.-
