LISTEN TO EHE BUGLE CALL.

COMRADES In rallying for the great
battle for your rights do not forget
your standard bearer-1AE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE. Most necessary to your bat
tie is it that it should be made as strong
as possible for the great contest this
Winter.
We are going to have a harder fight
during the next session of Congress than
ever. Our enemies in Congress are far
from being satisfied with the injury they
have already done us, but contemplate
still another raid.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is the main
friend and champion the comrades have
here at the National Capital and in the
whole country. 1t will make stub
born fight to save the veterans from the
wicked robbery contemplated. 1t can
do more than any other paper or agency
can.
Therefore, it is to your interest to
build up the paper to the utmost, and
make it as strong as possible in every
community. The more subscribers it
has behind it, the stronger battle it can
make for you and all comrades. There
fore, see that your name is on its lists,
and that as many as possible of your ac-
quaintances subscribe for it. If not
already subscriber send in your name
at once, and get at least one more. Get
up club if possible. We want every
veteran to rally around our flag for one
more effort We all have to fight now,
and The NATIONAL TRIBUNE will lead.
Let it head a column of at least 250 900
subscribers. Then all the power Of the
Solid South cannot prevail against it.
Help us now, and by so doing help
yourselves most effectively.

GERMAN PENSIONS.

As is well known Germany provides
most carefully for her veterans, probably
better than any other country in the
world. All the places in the Govern
ment employ are reserved for those who
served in the army, and none others
are admitted. The best recommendation
that any man seeking employment can
have is an honorable discharge from the
Imperial military or naval establish
ments. This care extends to the fathers,
mothers, widows, and children Of those
who have fallen under the flag of the
Fatherland. They are preferred for
employment On the State railroads, and
in whatever positions they are capable of
filling. Nor need they fear that a change
Of Administration may turn them out
Gratitude TO the defenders of the coun-
try Is not a party matter in Germany.
All parties not only profess, but exer-
else it, and it is as much part of the
settled policy Of the Empire as the ad-
ministration of justice or the MAIN
tenance Of the highways In addition
to the preferences for employment which
take place of direct pensions in this
country, the Empire set apart, out of
the milliards exacted from France for
indemnity, the sum of 100000, 900
marks-s75,0 0O,0O0-the interest upon
which was to be used to support those
disabled in the Franco German war.
At present $4,000 of these receive al

grow older these allowances are increased.

IN NEBRASKA,
ii.

1t has been many years since the old
veterans broke camp and returned to
the peaceful pursuits of the home, shop,
farm, and freside. They keep alive the
memories cemented in the best blood of
the Nation by gathering around the
Campfres annually. Some have been
divided upon local political questions,
but when the opportunity presents itself
to aid an old comrade the boys are not
slow to fall in and stand again shoulder
to shoulder Out in Nebraska this year
the Republicans have nominated Com
rade Thomas ]. Majors, who has gal
liant record as an old soldier. Like all
men in civil life who have been fearless
in the discharge of public duty, he is not
without some enemies, who are actively
at work to defeat him.
Nebraska is great soldier State, and
comrades everywhere will watch with
interest the contest which will be settled
at the approaching election. If the old
soldiers rally to the support of Gov.
Majors, he will be installed in the Ex-
ecutiye chair of the greatest soldier State
in the Union.
There are comrades in every voting
precinct who should see to it that every
such vote is cast for Comrade Majors.
He is a successful farmer and stock
raiser, and owns and cultivates one of
the largest and richest farms in Nemaha
County. His interests, sympathies and
incnn&tions are with the agricultural
classes, and old veterans everywhere will
be disappointed if Gov. Majors does not
run ahead of his ticket in every precinct
in the State. The organized opposition
comes from some Of the cities, and from
those who are too far removed from the
days and events of a quarter of a century
ago to fully appreciate the claims that
an old soldier has upon the public.
When a comrade with such magnif-
cent record as that won on the field in
the South and in the Indian wars on the
plains and in civil life by Gov. Majors,
is a candidate for office, it should arouse
sentiments Of warmest affection in the
breast of every old soldier. We shall be
very much disappointed if Nebraska
does not elect Col. Majors Governor by
a splendid majority.

privates receive 700 marks-s150 ;
non-commissioned officers 900 marks

1t is also to be remarked that they
have been getting these pensions ever
since the close of the war with France.
They have not had to wait 80 years for
their rights, run the gantlet of abuse by

that this would be the case, Abe Patter-

SOLID REASONS.

where TO 10rego ali olner cOnslueraLloHs
this Fall, and vote only for Republican
nominees for Congress, is in no sense
partisan, but is based on considerations
of the highest expediency.
We are now in a struggle for our very
existence. Shylock well says:
You do take my life when you do take the
means whereby / live.
Their little pensions are literally the
means whereby tens of thousands of our
comrades live, and there is not one of
us who can say with confidence that he
may not be reduced TO the same sad
strait before death claims him.
Rightly or wrongly, the Republicans
stand before the country as representa-
tive of liberal pensions, and the extern
sion of their benefits to all who deserve
them. Equally rightly or wrongly the
Democrats stand before the country as
committed to the narrowing down of pen
sions to the last practicable limit, and
the denial of them to an enormous num-
Der of those who are believed to be Justly
entitled to their benefits. We shall not
stop now to discuss the correctness of
these popular views, We are simply
stating undeniable truths.
As for the Populists, we need only
point to the course of the II members
of that party in the present House. If
one of them has an emotion of friend
ship for the veterans, he has so far been
remarkably successful in concealing it
from public scrutiny For all the good
that the comrades have received from
them they might as well have been IN
reconstructed rebels from Georgia and
South Carolina.
Therefore the bald. plain fact stands
out as clearly defined against the sky as
the Washington Monument, that Dem
ocratic majority In the next House of
Representatives will be accepted as the
verdict Of the country that the present
odious and inexpressibly injurious pen
sion policy is to be continued and great
ly intensified that the seourging Of the
veterans with whips is to be turned into
a scourging with scorpions. Again we
say, there is no partisanship in saying
this; it is merely the relation of we'll
known facts.
On the other hand, Republican ma
jority in the House Will be everywhere
received as a public condemnation of
the pension policy of the past Is months,
and positive assurance that there viii
be reversal of this, and the inaugura-
ton Of a policy of Hberality and Justice.
1t seems to us that this is SO unmis-
clear that no one can fail to
see it. 1t is SO large that it swallows
up any mere question of men. 1t is
matter of principle to solidly and en-
Enthusiastically support the Republican
everywhere, as an indignant
protest against the outrageous way in
which We have been treated, and the
surest way of securing redress of our
grievances.
Remember that every vOte for Re
publican nominee 1giU be accepted as a
rebuke to pension, inJustices, and every
uote against such nominee wiU be taken
and accepted as approving the acrongs
done the peterans and their dependent
ones.
