CLEARLY they need a campaign Of
education in New York-of education
in the commonest facts Of American
citizenship. A man named Lewis was a
witness before the Lexow Committee
He testified that he owned a meat shop
which did a good business, and smilingly
admitted that he had been making q
false oath every year for several years
as to the ownership of disreputable
house in order that it's real owners should
secure license. He had been in this
country 90 years, and good-humoredly
admitted that he did not know what
perjury was. His smiles vanished in an
ague of terror when the examining law
yer informed him that he had rendered
himself liable TO 10 years imprisonment
in the penitentiary.

THE comrades all over the country
are rallying grandly under the banner
Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, for the
struggle for justice. The movement
should be universal. This is matter
that every comrade has deep personal
interest in. Even if he wants nothing
for himself, he cannot fail to want that
his comrades, the men with whom he
marched and slept and fought, should
have what is due them. Therefore
every comrade should take an interest
in seeing that not only his own name is
on the list, but that all his veteran
acquaintance subscribe. The more sub
scribers THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has,
the more successful fight it can make
for veterans rights. Let every one
help little in extending its circulation

BUILD Up THE SONS OF VETERANS.

BUILD UP THE SONS OF VETERANS.
A most timely and excellent letter
from VIM. D. Spear, of Yonkers, n. T.,
in regard to the Sons of Veterans ap-
pears in another column. We ask every
comrade to read it carefully, and reflect
upon it. The time has now come when
the future of this Order is of the utmost
Importance to us. We should do all we
can to build it up for patriotic reasons,
that it may carry on and extend the
work to which we have devoted our
lives. We should do it because now is
the time when we need the assistance Of
powerful friends, and what better friends
can we have than our own sons? What
better assistance can we have than will
come from a strong, well-knit organiza-
ton of young men, who are thoroughly
in sympathy with us with what we have
done and what we especially hold dear?
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has started
in with the determination that the Sons
of Veterans shall be built up to mem
bership of 100000 in good standing
within the next few years. 1t believes
that this can be done, and it is enthusi-
astically of the opinion that it ought
to be done. Let every comrade help
do If

The boy who went through all this
who crowded into four momentous years
fatigues. trials. hardships, soulwearing
excitements and perils more than the
sum total Of the lifetimes of 100 ordi-
nary men-was 90 when he marched
proudly up Pennsylvania avenue in the
Grand Review nearly 80 years ago.
He is now, by the calendar of years, 90,
but far older by that calendar upon
whose dial the marks are made by
bodily and mental strains.
He has now reached the point in life
when he needs help, and needs it
urgently and Immediately. 1t is time
when in spite of all his indomitable
courage, his strong will, his failing
physical powers throw him out Of the
battle of life. Had it not been for the
awful drain upon his vitality by those
four trying years, he would be to-day
in the prime of his powers, full of vigor,
hope and ability. He would be leader
among his fellows, in whatever vocation
he followed. Instead, he is like some
ship which has made a perilous trip
through the icebergs and rocks in
terrible storm, in which size has re-
peatedly escaped destruction by the
narrowest chances. Her joints are
strained almost to separation, her cord
age is frayed until it is liable to part
any moment, every plank and timber is
bruised and Scared and shattered, and
to save her at all she must be kept in
tranquil waters.
What is true Of the typical soldier in
the Army of the Tennessee is equally
true of those in the Army of the Poto-
mac, the Army of the Cumberland, the
Army of the Gulf, and all the rest of
the armies which the Republic put in
the field against its enemies. The service
everywhere was of the same protracted,
arducus, exhausting nature. Every
where the enemies of the Nation had to
be overcome by greater exertions and
harder fighting than theirs, and the
men who did this for the country inevi-
tably and infallibly wore themselves out
in doing it.
They are now falling by the wayside
Of life, and now is the time of all others
when the pension-roll should be expand
ed with the utmost rapidity to take
them all in, and maintain the fair fame
Of the Nation by providing that not
man who stood for her in the evil days
shall want for such comforts of life as
money can give.

SENATOR CALL has introduced q
resolution requesting the President to
open up negotiations with Spain for the
independence of Cuba. This is utterly
useless. Spain will never give up Cuba
as long as the island can be MIXED for
millions of dollars every year by the
ring of politicians around the palace at
Madrid. The only way that we shall
ever get Cuba will be by raising our
own sugar and fine tobacco, and thus
destroying the value of the island to
the Spanish politicians. We now take
about 9S per cent. of the products of
Cuba, and they are things that we can
and should raise at home.

SENATOR VOORHEES, comes out in a
statement of great Importance, owing to
his position as Chairman of the Com
mittee on Finance. He is opposed to
any farther tariff tinkering which will
increase the deficiency in the revenues.
He will not have his name associated
with deficit which will require the sale
Of bonds. For this reason he was OPP
posed to the Wilson Bill as it came
from the House, and predicted from the
first that it would cause a deficit in the
revenues. He wants Tariff Reform to
stop just where it is until the country
can have chance to recover. With
this attitude on his part, with the slender
Democratic majority in the Senate, and
the determined position of the Republi-
cans, there is no prospect of any further
tariff legislation this Winter. =,

THE industrious tin-plate liar is de-
voting his energies to getting up bogus
interviews with leading Republicans, re.
pudiating the Mckinley bill. Of course
Sherman, Reed, Cullom, Hoar, Burrows
and others Indignantly repudiate these
as fast as their attention is called tc
them. The Mckinley bill will not be
re-enacted, as no tariff bill would be
exactly duplicated three or four years
later, as many changes of conditions
would be inevitable; but the principle
Of the bill will dominate, as the people
have decidedly determined.

A NUMBER OF good results are prom
ised from the overturn in North Caro-
lima. The first is ballot-reform. The
election laws are to be amended so that
every legal voter can vote, and have his
vote counted. The next is that COM
prehensive and thorough school system
is to be inaugurated, which will insure
four months of school in every part of
the State. Then, the machine is to be
broken up. Under the present law
everything is in the hands of few poll
ticians. The Legislature is elected by
the ring, and the Legislature turns
around and provides for the continuance
of the rings supremacy by electing
Justices of the Peace in each County, who
select five Commissioners to govern the
County, appoint many of the officers, and
run things generally to suit themselves.
All this is to be done away with, and
the people in each County are to elect
their own Commissioners, Boards of Ed
ucation, etc. A practical reform is con-
templated by the encouragement of
oyster-farming, which will develop the
industry along the extensive waterfront
of the State, and be q source of great
wealth.

is one of the SWEETEST in Paris, and it ap-
pears that Nettie created so much stir that
all the other guests threatened to leave an
less she was expelled. She would not go
peaceably, so she was thrown out.
From that time up TO few months ago
she was only heard from occasionally.
Friends visiting New York found her
living in elegant apartments and with all
the Injuries OF life at her command.
Some one certainly was lavishiDg lots of
money on her.
To her parents here she wrote that she
was studying for the stage, and had been
promised an engagement with the Froh-
man Company. She had always carefully
concealed from them that she was living a
fast life, and they believed the stories she
wrote home.
The last communication received here
from her was in March last. She then said
that she was about to take another trip tc
Europe and that she would return to
America about September. 81 will be in
Frisco about October if all goes well"
she added.
She did not know what was in store for
her though. The meeting with Vanderbilt
has, of course. upset all her plans and she
has doubtless dropped al! her other ad-
mirers and is holding on with both hands
to the mnlti-milionaire.

Secretary Herbert Stops a Naval
Engineers Criticisms.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.-Every now and
then there is an ugly cropping out OF il
feeling between the line and staff of the
navy. which has become particularly ran
corous since the strenuous efforts put
forth by the former to secure the passage
of the Meyer reorganization bill which
bears very hard upon the staff.
The latest manifestation of this is a
sharp letter of reprimand addressed by
Secretary Herbert to Passed Assistant En-
gineer Frank NJ. Bennett, who has been
particularly active in defending the staff
departments against the attack of the line,
In pursuance of this work he wrote sew
eral articles for magazine which aroused
the ire of Admiral Greer, line officer,
who complained to the Secretary. In the
interest OF the service the Secretary was
under the necessity of reprimanding the
engineer and has Withdrawn from him the
right to enter the controversy field through

TARIFF COMPLICATIONS.
Likely to Keep Carlisle Busy for Some
Time to Come.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.-The following
is copy of the reply sent yesterday by
Score tary Carlisle in answer 10 an inquiry
OF the Collector of Customs at Boston re-
speeding the administration Of the new
tariff law:
NO merchandise which arrived before mid
night on the 9th is entitled TO new tariff rates,
except merchandise already in bond.
The Secretary of the Treasury has de-
ctded that under the terms of the new
tariff bill payments of sugar bounties on
claims already filed cannot legally be
made. Section 1882 of the new act pro-
vides, among other things, that hereafter
it shall be unlawful to issue any license TO
produce sugar Gr to pay any bounty for
the production of sugar of any kind under
the act approved October l, 1890"
1t is not denied that persons who have
filed claims for sugar produced during the
last year may not have just claim against
the Government, the only contention be-
ing that under the terms of the new law
it is made illegal for the Secretary to pay
them.
