4 Strong Protest.

The mass meeting of citizens called last night to take action re- gsrding the abandonment Of San Carlos and Fort Bowie was attended by a large number of our leading citizens. S. c. Bagg was chosen chair man and Scott White secretary.
 The chairman stated the object Oi the gathering 10 be the passing Of resolutions protesting against the abandonment of Fort Bowie and the post at San Carlos. Other counties had taken the initiative, and telegrams had been sent to the secretary Of war entering protest against the proposed action, and it would not do for the county most directly interested to be backward in the matter.
 A spirited discussion as to the best means to be adopted 10 stop the planned removal of troops resulted m the adoption of the following resolutions which was teIegraphed to the secretary of war:
 We, the people of Cochise county in mass meeting assembled, protest against the removal oI troops from Fort Bowie and San Carlos as being inimical to the welfare of the settlers in southeastern Anzona, and the most glaring infringement of the protection guaranteed us by the constitution. Ii carried out it will leave ten thousand people who have braved the hardships of frontier life, without any protection from the rayages of hostile Apaches who are only held in check by the presence of troops at these posts.

ARE YOU GOING
TO THE
NATIONAL ENcAMpMEMT 2
Y e S?
Then the National Tribune VIII Fur
nish You Transportation

The comrades are now beginning to
think seriously of attending the great Ma
tional Eneampment 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. It will give
every comrade an easy chance of obtain
ing a first-class ticket over the railroad
from bis home to Pittsburg and return,
by obtaining a small club of subscribers
to the paper. This is a great opportunity.
All the old veterans want THE Ma
TIoSAL TRIBUNE, and are ready to take
it if some one will ask them to subscribe.
Anyone can get ticket with little
effort. Write to us for further informa-
ton as to the number of subscribers we
will require for 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.

PERSONAL.

Representative Pendleton, of West Virginia
gage voice to some opinions last week. "All
the talk one hears about bribery and corruption
III Congress" said he, is largely the coinage
of feverish imaginations. During my service
in the House, can frankly say no one ever ap-
preached me with proposition to do anything
contrary to my convictions. As Chairman of
the Committee on Private Land Claims l have
handled matters involving millions of dollars.
i have been placed in positions, like every other
member where my vote would have been q
matter of greet consequence, but in all my ex-
perience l have never had an encounter with a
boodling lobby, nor have / known any other
member to be exposed to any such temptation.
On the contrary, Congress is peculiarly body
of good morals. 1t would be difficult matter,
indeed, to purchase legislation that could run
the gantlet of free and searching investiga.
tion, such as any public measure is exposed to
i'll the House."
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1894-08-16

SENATOR ALLEN cherishes the usual
Populistie fallacy that every evil can be
cured by the passage Of law, forgetfuI
Of the facts known to everybody that
fully one-half the laws on the statute
books are dead-letters-utter failures to
secure the purposes for which they were
enacted. He proposes to punish with
heavy fines the ofense of lobbying. In
the first place, every American citizen
has natural right to endeavor to Sc
cure the passage of any law, which for
one reason or another he thinks should
be passed, and he has the right to en-
deavor to persuade his Representatives
tc enact ii. The abuse Of this right by
some furnishes no reason whatever for de-
priving those Of it who exercise it legiti-
mately. The real remedy is to send to
Congress men whom corruptionists can
not influence, and then keep a close
watch of their acts. When Senators
and Representatives are held to rigid
responsibility by their constituents there
is little fear of improper influence Of
lobbyists.
