that the end of 1895 will see the country
carried far past the point where its career
of prosperity was interrupted by the I'M
toward events of the close of 1892.
Let us, then, hail the opening of 1895
with high hope in its possibilities, and a
firm resolve to improve these to the ut
most. Let us grid up our loins anew,
with firm faith in ourselves and our
Government, and our country, conf
dence that the day of the mischiefmaker
is over, and that we can 90 ahead with
our business, with our enterprises, undis-
turbed by fear Of his malignant hand.
We have the best Government under the
sun, and great country, with boundless
resources, and everything good is within
our reach. Sorrow has endured for a
night, but JOY has come with the morn
ing, and we are confident that the hap
piness Of 1895 will make us forget the
misery of 1893 and 1894.
So mote it be.

LISTEN TO THE BUGLE CALL.

COMRADES: In rallying for the great
battle for your rights do not forget
your standard-b earer-THE 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 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. II will make a 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 1t 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 a 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 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.

LOSSES IN WARS.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: VIII you
kindly give me the figures, or tell me where
can procure them, showing the number of
men the United States armies lost in the
Revolution, war of 1912, war with Mexico,
and the rebellion "A. S. LoUDERMILK,
Terre Haute, Ind.
1t is absolutely impossible to give any
figures as to the losses during the Rcvo-
lutionary war. The struggle was carried
on in the most desultory fashion-some-
times by continental Regulars" some
times by State militia, sometimes by
voluntary risings of ne;ghborhoods
against the British or Indians. The
General Government has no figures of
any value as to the Continentals, and the
States have stin less data. People were
engaged in something else than gathering
statistics in those days.
They did littlcabetter in the war of
1912. That contest was carried on with
some attempt at system-though an
awfully poor one-and the consolidated
reports show that ,877 men were killed,
and 3,737 wounded, OF total of 1914.
In the Mexican war ,547 men were
killed, or died of their wounds, and 1920
were wounded.
The statistics of the war of the rebel
lion are very imperfect, but the collation.
up to date shows that 10000 were ac-
tually killed in battle, 249, 485 died of
disease, etc, and 275,175 we're wounded;
making total of 1860
These figures are too small, as they
should be increased by thousands re-
ported as missing and those who died
soon after being discharged from the
army for disability.

WHEN the Veteran Commander of n
Grand Army Post announces that the SOL
der vote can always be depended upon to
defeat any President who examines the pen
sion list 10 see if Tascals have not abused
the peoples patriotic affection, we know
that he is speaking for the lame and lazy
who think Government ought TO be a shelter
for all who are hungry and cold.-Cincin-
natl Southeast.
This is pure, or rather impure, wan
ton, malicious lying. No Commander
in -Chief, or other official or comrade of
the Grand Army Of the Republic has
ever made the slightest opposition to
any investigation of the pension roll.
On the contrary, everybody in the
GAR. has always urged and courted
the fullest investigation. Nobody in the
country is nearly so anxious to have the
fullest light of publicity thrown upon
every operation of the Pension Bureau
as the ex-soldiers and sailors. But we
are naturally indignant at being de-
nounced generallys5as scoundrels, i'm
posters, dead-beats and bounty,jumpers,
in advance of investigation, and before
particle of proof has been offered.

ApPREcI.TIyE COMPLIMENTS.

Exultant and complimentary letters
keep pouring in from the comrades in
all parts of the country. We make a
few extracts:
Every old soldier should take The Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE for what it has done in
the past two years for them. 1t fought the
good fight while other sheets scattered or
Jagged. / believe in rendering unto Cesar
the things that are Cesars. You held the
boys together in fine style in the Fall cam
paign, and when the bugle sounded on the
morning of. Nov. they went over the
enemy's works with q rush.-Jas. d. Eng

TRIBUNE and hasten to congratulate you on
Your work in the campaign just ended. 1
think the returns show plainly that the

That THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has con-
tributed largely towards this result goes
without saying among the veterans of this
locality.-LEWIs BARKER, 1fth \. y. III. A.,

l incose a small club of subscribers for
your valuable paper, and only wish 1T was
increased by the addition of the name of
every veteran in this locality, but many of
them, and Of the so-called frauds which it
was said were so plentiful in every neigh
borhood, have to use the strictest economy,
depriving themselves of all LIES Injuries
and many of it's necessities; they cannot
spare the 81 for the weekly visit aud coun-
sci Of their great champion, THE NATIONAL
TRIRUNE. You have done a great and noble
work, and / feel as though every veteran,
those who espoused the cause which tri-
umphed at AppomatOx, believe in its righte
BUSINESS, and that none of those who helped
to make that victory possible should want
for bread, but should be cared for as kind
parents would care for their children.
If they can spare 81 they should send it to
the great advocate of full and ample justice
to the old veterans and their dependent
ones.-L. i. p, Westfield, Wis.

DISTRESS IN NEBRASKA.

Deeply injurious as the drouth Of last
Summer was over a great extent OF
country, it undoubtedly hurt South
Dakota and Nebraska much worse than
any other section. The main staple of
that country is corn, and this crop was
almost total failure. As high an aver
age as SO bushels of corn per acre have
been raised in Nebraska, and "a bushels
in South Dakota. This year, the aver
age yield Of corn for the whole State Of
Nebraska is but six bushels per acre,
and but 40 bushels for South Dakota
The drouth was worse as one progressed
toward the western part of the State,
and in the five westenmost Counties sub
stantially none was raised. The same is
true with much of South Dakota.
A loud call for help has come from
that country, and it should be listened
and responded to with the greatest
promptness, to prevent terrible suffering.
We are glad to say that this is being
done. Contributions of money, food,
and clothing are going forward from
various parts of the country. Train
loads Of corn have been made up in the
South, and sent from Atlanta, Augusta,
Baltimore, and elsewhere. Money and
clothing are being sent from the Eastern
cities.
The following letter, from a comrade
in Nebraska, explains itself, and should
bring out liberal donations from our
more favored comrades everywhere. We
think that the Commander of the De
partment of Nebraska, GAR, is the
proper person to whom to forward all
donations, and that he will be glad to
receive them and see that they are prop
erly distributed. His address is Col.
Church Howe, Howe, Neb. Money,
provisions, clothing, anything needed in
the family, will be welcome.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: ] am de-
tailed from my Post at Berwyn. No. 307, to
write TO the comrades in the East TO see if
they could help us some. We raised nothing
here this year, and we are very needy and
have got TO have help or suffer. Now, com
rades, if you can help us any, we will be very
glad. There are eight of us in our Post, and
we served from three to five years in the war
from. 1851 to 1865. You can write TO the
State Commander at Lincoln and ask him
how il is with u.s. Help rs if YOU can, and
as soon as you can, for, if it turns cold and
stormy, we will suffer very badly for fuel,
clothes. and something to eat.-ALBERT T.

Do not let our comrades suffer.

Nervous people are waiting with
bated breath the advent Of Ben. Till
man into the Senate. What will he
do? VIII he be a partner with Dave
Hill, or will he flock by himself, and
run little party of his own? Till
man is quite as fond of the spectacular
in politics as Hill, and no less apt to as
sert that a am a Democrat at all
times and places. lie has not hesitated
to affirm that his Democracy is not of
the Cleveland brand, but is it of the Hill
stamp? He has shown much vigor and
capacity in managing the politics of
South Carolina, but will he size up in
the Senate alongside of Hill? Alas,
these be questions that we are not likely
TO have answered until the new Congress
meets year hence, and we shall have
to wait with what patience we can.
