A SAD FEATURE.

One of the features Of this years
National Encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, and a sad
one, was the decreased number of
men on the rolls. Up to 1894 the G..
A. r. steadily grew in numerical
strength, and for some time it held
its own at almost the high-water
mark. But in the past year a rapid
decline set in and hundreds who
were in the ranks at Louisville last
year were missing at st. Paul.
Death is beginning to run it's way
with free bride through the
ranks, and from now on the de-
crease will be more marked each
year, no matter how actively the
veterans work to bring in their
comrades who have heretofore
failed to join the order.
On January 1, 1894, there was
3S7, 040 members on the books of
the organization, and in the next
year there was a drop of over II, 900,
the roll on January 1, 1895, stand
ing at 969, $50. In the next year
ending January 1, 1896, there was a
decrease of 10000, the total men,
bership on that date being 357, $50.
There are no official figures at hand
showing the decrease since then,
but from careful estimates prepared
it seems that the loss of member
ship by deaths has been greater
than in any similar period in the
history of the association. The es-
timated total membership is now
placed at 348, 900, and by the end
of the year it will probably have
sunk down to $40, 900 or lower. In

AUGUSTA, Ca, Oct THE election for
state and county officers comes off in Geor-
gia today. There are two full tickets in
the field, the Democratic being led by W,
Y. Atkinson, the present governor, while
SeaboFn Wright heads the ticket put out by
the fusion Of the Prohibitionists and Pop
ulists On the Populist part Of the fusion
there Is no such interest as that which
characterized the last struggle two years
ago The Populists do not regard Wright,
the fusion candidate, as the simon pure
article. The Prohibitionists are much en-
thused as this Is the only time they have
ever been given prominence. Democratic
leaders are confident that they will get
80, 900 majority. The fusionists are very
indefinite about their claims. A. K. Buck,
the Republican leader, has issued mani
festo advising all Republicans to vote for
Wright, bst Atkinson is extremely strong
with the negroes on account of several
educational bills for their interest which
he ohampioned while a member Of the
legislature.

NEED OF SYMPATHY BETWEEN TEACH
ERs AND PARENTS.

EltS AND PARENTS,
The profession of the teacher is
certainly an important one. It
should be a happy one. Adverse in
fuences ought to be removed, and
the teacher left free to devise his
own plans and to find his enjoyment
in witnessing the success attendant
on their execution,
We would not ask for greater
emolument, though, when we con-
slider that the teachers best years
are spent in his duties, and after his
best years are passed away an en-
lightened community usually judges
him not only unfit for school keep
ing but also unfit for anything else,
we are constrained to believe that
the matter of compensation has
been little enough considered. We
would not ask for greater respect
and attention. We believe that the
instructor has received his share of
these in proportion to his merits.
But we would ask for sympathy
for soul cheering sympathy-on the
part OF. parents of those whom we
are called to instruct. We would
plead for their aid so far as they
can assist US. With that we could
go to the work with at least some
gleamings. Of encouragement. The
teacher has many difficulties, and a
large part of them have their origin
in the want of cooperation, or the
misdirected influence Of the parents.

VENERABLE BROTHER - Health and
apostolic benediction. IL Is customary that
they who are appointed to preside over
Catholic universities should not hold tho
office In perpetuity. This custom has
grown up through wise reasons, and the
Roman pontiffs have ever been careful
that II should be adhered to. Since there
fore, venerable brother you have now pre-
sided for several years over the university
at Washington, In the flrst establishment
and subsequent development Of which you
have shown laudable zeal and diligence,
II has seemed best that the above mon

position In order, however, that, In your

have determined TO elevate you to the
rank Of archbishop. Being solioitous for
your future welfare, we leave it TO your
own free choice either TO remain in your
own country or, II you prefer it, to come
to Rome II you choose the former, we
will destine for you some arohiepiscopal

welcome you most lovingly and will place

lovingly bestow upon you the apostolic

dential nomination rendered him by the
Peoples Party, has been received at the
headquarters In this city After express
Ing his appreciation Of the honor confer
red, Mr.. Bryan says:
In time like this, when a great poll
ical party Is attempting to surrender thU
right TO iegislate for our views upon the
financial question and Is seeking TO bind
the American people to foreign none
tary system, IL behooves us as lovers of
our country and friends OF American In
estitutions TO lay aside for the present sue
u 3renoes as may exist among us on mi
oiAquestlons In order that our strength
may be united In a supreme effort to wre
the government from the hands Of tho
who imagine that the nations finance
are only secure when controlled by few
flnanoiers and that national honor can
only be maintained by servile aoquiesoenoe
in any policy, however destructive to the
interests Of the people of the United
States, which foreign creditors, present OF
prospective, may desire TO force upon us.
II is cause for oongratulation that we
have In this campaign not only the sup
port Of Democrats, Populists and Repub-
licans who have all along believed in In
dependent bimetallism, but also the active
cooperation of those Democrats and Re
publioans who, having heretofore waited
for international blmetallism, now join
with us rather than trust the destiny of
the nation to those who are holding out
the delusive hope of foreign aid while they
labor secretly for the permanent establish
ment OF the single gold standard.
While difficulties always arise in the
settlement Of the details Of any plan Of 90
operation between distinct political organ
izations, I am sure that the advocates OF
bimetallism are so intensely In earnest
that they will be able to devise some
means by which the free silver vote may
be concentrated upon one electoral ticket
In each state. To secure this result, ohari-
ty toward the opinions OF others and lib
erRlity on the part Of all Is necessary but
honest and sincere friends who are work
ing toward a common result always find
II possible 10 agree upon just and equita-
BILE terms. The American people have
proved equal to every emergency which

that in the present emergency there will
