THE SERVICE PENSION.

Some comrades are disturbed because
the Service Pension makes no discrimi-
nation between those who served long
terms and short. The feeling can be
readily understood. But they must re-
member that the United States always
made Service Pension So month for
the shortest period of service. We
want TO get this principle applied to
service In the war of the rebellion, as
it was to service in other wars. This is
all-important. 1t is the first great step.
After we have once secured this, we
can then concentrate our energies upon
such amendments and notifications as
will make the law what we would have
it.
Therefore, let us bend all our energies
upon securing the earliest possible pass
age of this measure Of justice. Let us
leave nothing undone to have it put
through the coming extra session, and
! be one of the first laws which President
Mckinley will sign. Let every veteran
in the United States go to work actively
for this 1t will be worse than useless
for him to stand off and criticize-to
| find fault with this, and advocate some
| other bill. He will not get what he
wants, but will do the most that can be
done to prevent other comrades from
getting what they want. Nothing can
be more fatal to the success Of pension
legislation than division Of opinion and
effort among comrades. It is a manu-
yer which our enemies have frequently
employed to defeat desired pension
legislation. They. are always full Of
glee when they can get any number OF
comrades to urge something else than
what the majority want.
Let us not have this now. Let us
present solid front for a straight
| simple, Service Pension of at least S.
| a month for every man who served 30
days. and was honorably discharged
Let us insist that those who served in
| the war of the rebellion are as worthy
| Of this as those who served in the Rev.
olntion, in the war Of 1872, the Indian
| wars, or the war with Mexico. Lei
every veteran impress this upon his
Senators and Representative. Let every
Post pass resolutions demanding it
Let every Department Encampment
and other soldier gathering do the same,
and We shall have united voice which
Congress viii heed and accede to.
And push the circulation of THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE, which creates and
strengthens public sentiment in favor
Of the measure wherever it goes.

A TRIBUTE TO CAPT. LEMO]


BY Past Commander-in-Chief Paul vanDer-
WORT.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: learn by
dispatches that our dear comrade, Capt
George Z. Lemon, is dead. l first met him
shortly after my election as COMMANDMENTS
Chief at Baltimore, in 1882. He had then
been publishing THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
for some time, and had sunk thousands of
dollars in the paper. / know he started
that paper in order to furnish an organ to
make the battle for the Union soldier. 1t
was a work of love and his donation to the
cause. And can surely say that had it not
been for THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE the bond
holder and the Wall street aliens would
have defeated US long ago. ] knew Capt.
Lemon we'll, and while it cut him to the
quick to be assaulted, yet in his heart he felt
that some day it would be an honor to have
| been the means of putting an army corps of
honest names on the pension-roll. Amid all
the assaults on pension agents not one word
was ever proven against Capt. Lemon. and
1 he was known the whole Union over as an
honest man. He had his convictions, and
they were strong, but when they were adyo-
Gated in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE it was
because he believed the cause Of the Union
soldier, widow and orphan could be best
served by the election of his choice.
He had a gentle, kindly nature. He
loved children, and they trusted him. He
| lightened many home by his kind deeds.
| He helped greatly in building up the Grand
| Army. During my term THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE founded over 1000 Posts / think
! was the first Commander-in-Chie who
1 named him on the staff. He was an earnest
advocate of the Relief Corps, even before we
met at Denver, and no one outside the Order
did more than he to build it up. His pres
ence at the National Encampment was
always hailed with delight, and he will be
missed the Nation over IN countless homes
| his work has blessed. We all suffered in
tense pain when We leard of his long sick
ness. We hoped that no would recover, but
when the last pilgrinhagescam we gave him

his loss. The Grand Army lines are daily

He had a smile as bright as his gayly-

demure young woman who was walk
ing in Central park the other morning,
upon one of the asphalt paths, reports
the New York Herald. She heard the
rattle of wheels at her side, yet she
turned neither to the right nor to the
left.

young man az he raised his straw hat
with the dizzy band, wouldn't you like
TO take ride with me this morning?"
The girl didn't say 'Sir-r-r!" OF
'What means this intrusion?" She
slowly turned around and looked the
young man over from head TO foot. He
boro her gaze without flinching, and
started to get down from his seat as if
to assist her into the trap.

There Is just now no lack OF news
from the western states.
Public opinion in Colorado and Iowa
is as promptly and accurately heard of
as from any New England state.
From all over the west comes reports
THAT Paine's celery compound occupies
practically a clear field in the cure of
diseases arising from a tired or other
wise impaired nervous system.
No other remedy was ever used by so
many men of sound and reliable judg
ment. No remedy but Paine'S celery
compound has ever been recommended
by so conspicuously fair-minded a body
of men and women. The half-hearted
experimental efforts OF scores and
scores of sarsaparilIas, tonics, and So
called nervines. with which the market
is constantly recruited, are IN startling
contrast with the confident-because
thoroughly scientific-way in which
Paine's celery compound sets about re-
storing health and vigor to the worn
out body.
Why VIII people be silly enough to
jeopardize their lives and lessen their
chances OF getting well by taking any
thing else?
There is no help so sure and so i'm
mediate as one gets from the use OF
Paine's celery compound. Detailed in
formation of fnnumerable cases of T9heI-

SPANISH MINES IN TEXAS.
There L. Talk Of Reopening Some of the
Old Ones.


There L. Talk Of Reopening Some of the
Old Ones.
The earliest settlers Of Bel county,
Tex, found along the mountains north
east of Bolton and near Nolan's creek
what appeared TO be old mines that Rad
probably been worked by the Spaniards,
Indians or Actecs. Since then every
once In awhile there has been talk of
trying to open the mines and see what
was in them, says the Galveston News.
They presented the appearance of deep
holes il the ground, some of which had
been partially and others almost en-
tirely filed with dirt. In some instances
bushes had grown in these places. In
one or two cases large cedar logs had
been placed over these mine-holes and
dirt thrown on them. Some people
have always contended that it would
pay to reopen and work these cd mines,
but until now no one who desired to put
time or money in them.
The recent discovery of gold four or
FIVE miles from Bolton has given a new
interest in these old mines. in one of
these mines some men have begun work
in earnest, and are keeping at it from
day to day. They are not very cGm-
municativc about their prospects for
success, but this much they tell, that
in short time they are going to ship
some OF what they think is their hest
paying ore to the smelter at eagle Pass.
After it has been smelted they will know
more. Meanwhile there is good deal
of interest about it around town.

called out one morning by the guide,
who had discovered two bucks a few
miles away. says the New York World.
Hastily starting, the men did not carry
large supply of ammunition and what
they had was all used or wasted in bag
ging the deer. Starting back to camp
they encountered a bear and as they
could not shoot they ran, each going
in a different direction.
The bear chased the guide and he
took the direct course toward the camp
log house. where his wife was pre-
pairing a meal. With a yell he dashed
into the house and up into the loft.
Ills wife ran out Of the back door,
closed it, and as the bear had gone in

front door and made the bear a prisoner

BICYCLE PRICES TO ADVANCE
High-Grads Firms Put Up q Job on Cheap
Manufacturers

Bicycles will cost more next year.
This statement is made on the authority
of a Pittsburgh manufacturer of bicycle
tubing. He said that the meeting lust
held az the Hotel Waldorf in New York
was not a gathering of wrought iron
pipe manufacturers, as reported. In
stead, it was meeting of tube makers,
and. as a result of their deliberations,
cheap bicycles will be forced from the
market. For some time the manu-
facturers Of high-grade bicycles have
been trying to shut out the cheap
wheels and thus maintain the high
prices that the best bicycles command
ed. They have succeeded in doing this
Through the manufacturers of tubing.
There are - tubing companies and they
have signed a contract not to sell any
tubes to other than legitimate manu-
facturers of wheels. The makers of the
cheap wheels are called 'asSemblers."
They buy the diferer.t parts OF a
wheel from different manufacturers.
Then they fit the ;,aIts snd cell good
wheels under higb-grade prices. By
getting the tubing manufacturers TO
shut off the supply of tubing from the
"assemblers" the hiGh-class wheel man
ufacturers will shut OF competition.
An agent was sent to Europe to agitate
a similar combination there. The tube
who gave the infor1na-
