IN PERUsING dispatches from the

SO directly at variance that many

Japs are fought entirely on paper.

Another Object Lesson.

Whatever may be the truth or exag-
geration of the reports to the effect that
the citizen soldiery of Pennsylvania
was insufliciently supplied with
rations, both in quality and quantity,
during the recent Gettysburg encamp-
ment, the statement suggests addition
al proof of the superiority and discip-
line of our National guard, considered
in connection with divers other circum-
stances which tended to make the
soldiers outing anything but bed of
roses.
During the entire week the COM
missary department made miserable
failure, the transportation delays were
tedious and eXasperating, dust and
heat greeted the men upon their ar
rival, mud and CRIME afterward ap-
peared, and during it all, these soldiers
who had had little of campaigning
were expected tothrive upon rations far
below the standard furnished to Uncle
Sans regulars. That the hospitals
were not overcrowded, that the men
were not lax and sullen, and that they
did not fail to maintain their high per-
centage as militia is certainly not
the fault of attending circum-
stances. Their entire experience in
camp was simply a practical con-
tirmation of the superiority claimed
for Pennslyvania's guardsmen over
any citizen soldiery organization in
this country and possibly anywhere.
While, primarily, the periodical en-
campments of the National guard are
to give the soldiers practical lessons in
the formations and evolutions which
can only be undertaken on small
scale in home quarters, the executive
staff expects that the men will pre-
pare for and realize a reasonable pro-
portion Of fun. During the massing
of the troops at Gettysburg men un-
accustomed to hardships went through
a mill of bad food, bad weather and
practical drilling with credit to them
selves and with honor to theirstate;land
clinched more securely the reputation
they enjoy for everything good i'm
piled in the word SOLDIER
Althoughithe claim of the superiority
of Pennsylvania National guard was
presented with faith and seriousness a
number of years ago, the authorities
of other states shrouded their accept
ance of it by restriction to the hard
service endured by our boys at Home
stead. People at large believed Penn
sylvania possessed a militia of high
grade, but they rather liked to believe
that the reputation was acquired
through unexpected but fairly eff
cient service at Homestead" After
the recent encampment, surrounded
by halo Of infelicitous features, the
medicine must be swallowed and the
corn acknowledged. Official, local
and general reports of that weeks ex-
perience of mud, parching dust and
nightmare provender puts another
nail in the assertion that Pennsylva-
MAS soldiers are soldiers; that they
are unequaled in their class and that
these two facts are important in their
scope and significance.

SONG OF AuTuM N.

Why sing Of other months than this,
Good bard, when you remember
The joys which thrill
Turn where you will
They linger at the table, still,
All gathered by September.
For, when you sing of gentle May,
You surely must remember
The bivalve rare
Torn from its lair
Caught from old Neptune's shelter
ing care
by generous. gray September.
And when you carol lays of June
Agniu you must remember
The sedgy brink
Where stops to drink
The erstwhile babbling bob-o. link,
The red bird Of September.

FOR FREE SILVER.
Strong Resolutions Are Presented to the
House.

Strong Resolutions Arc Presented to the
House.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Representa-
tive Hartman (Mont.) presented in tho
house Tuesday resolutions for the free
coinage Of silver, which are regarded
by the free-silver associates as one of
i the most significant expressions in
favor of their doctrine which have
: been elected by the agitation Of the
last year. The resolutions have been
considered and adopted during the
present session by the most powerful
labor organizations of the country,
are strongly worded and are signed by
the chief officers of the various unions.
The signers are:
j. B. Sovereign, general master workman,
and John w. Hayes, secretary and treasurer,
of the knights OF Labor; Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation Of
Labor; Marion Butler, president OF the
National Farmers alliance; Henry H.
Trenor, president, and p. j. MCGUIRE,
secretary, Of the Brotherhood Of Carpen-
ters and Joiners; P. M. Arthur, chief OF
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers; c.
A. Robinson, president OF the Farmers Mutual
Benefit association; Frank Sargent grand
master workman, and +. w. Arnold, secretary
aud treasurer, of the brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen, and John Mcbride, president Of
the United Mine Workers OF America.
Accompanying the resolution is an
address "to the members of organized
labor and all other producers and
toilers throughout the United States,"
which led to their. adoption. The adj
dress declares that ''in view of the
general distress, at time when
granaries are full and in the natural
order of things producers and toilers
should be enjoying the fruits of their
labors, it seems that the time has
come for united action on the part of
those who create the wealth of the
country
In the review Of financial legisla-
ton it is charged that all acts since
the civil war have been in the interest
of bondholders and against the pro-
ducers, and the Sherman law is said to
have been repealed at the demand Of
European fnanciers, although q grand
fight was made by the peoples repre-
sentatives.
The resolutions are as follows:
I'VE demand Of the present congress the I'M
mediate return TO the money OF the constttu~
ton as established by our fathers by restoring
the free and unlimited coinage OF silver at the
present ratio Of 16 to l, the coins Of both met
ais to be equally full legal tender for all debts,
public and private, as before the fraudulent
characterization of silver In 1873
I'VE also condemn the increase OF the ma
tional debt In the time OF peace and the use OF
interest-bearing bonds at any time"

THE GOVERNOR Eora

CHICAGO, Aug. eQ-Just beteRo -.
turning to Springfield Tuesday night
Gov. Altgeld issued a.peoclAmstion to
the people Of Illinois, asking them
to send contributions to relieve
the starving strikers ct Pullman.
He also addressed . letter to
the county commissioners, calling
their attention to the suffering in Pull
man and urging them to furnish. inn
mediate assistance. The letter to the
county commissioners is expected to
secure food enough to keep the strikers
alive until responses to Gov Altgeld's
proclamation begin coming in.
The appeal to the people was not
made until the governor had satisfied
himself that the Pullman company
would do nothing to relieve the dis
tress. The goverpps engaged, during
the day, in q spirited correspondence
with Mr.. Pullman, but could get no
promise that officers of the company
would help starving tenants.
"As you refuse to do anything to re-
1ieve the suffering in this case" the
governor wrote to Mr.. Pullman, in
closing tho correspondence, II am
compelled to appeal to the humanity
OF the people of Illinois to do So"
He therefore issued the follow
ing proclamation from his room
in the Sherman house late Tuesday
night:
