1ts Glorious Fart I'm the Battle OF the
Wilderness.

There are not few veterans who
stubbornly insist that the Vermont Bri-
gade was the best brigade In the glorious
old Army Of the Potomac. At any rate.
there never was better brigade, neither
IN chat army nor in any army which ever
marched to battle. And in its long list
Of brilliant achievements there is not a
brighter chapter than ii wrote on the
first day of the battle Of the Wilderness.
where it held position Of vital import
ance TO the army, against the most des-
perate efforts of the rebels in overwhelm-
ing masses to secure il. 1t did this at
fearful cost to itself, since il lost more
than one-third Of IFS number, but it in.
fiicted an even more terrible loss upon
It's assailants. Its grand old commander
Gen. i. A. Grant, formerly Assistant
Secretary of War, has written for THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE a most vivid and
readable account of the operations of the
brigade on that fearful yet glorious day,
and we shall shortly publish this. Ii
will be of deepest interest to every man
who served in the Army Of the Potomac

+ Gen. A. W. Greedy has discovered that George
Washington believed in setting it up to the
boys in liberal fashion. One Of his accounts
shows that after he had been elected to che
Virginia House of Burgesses he treated the 400
free and independent voters who-c cast their
ballots for him to one hogshead of punch,
one barrel of punch, 40 gallons of punch. nine
bowls of punch, do gallons of wine, and AZ gall
Ions of beer. This gave every one of them
about three quarts apiece, and indicates that
the Virginan of to-day inherited his capacity
to carry large load. Everything was very
cheap in those days, in spite of its being
before the "crime of rs " demonetized silver.
and the entire expense was only three shillings
for victuals and 81 shillings for liquors.

THE end of the Transvaal incident is
not yet. President Kruger, it is be-
lieved, has replied to Secretary Cham
berlain's invitation to visit England in
terms that were not agreeable to the
Colonial Office. The President will 90
if certain concessions are made to his
country. In effect these are, that Eng

larger liberty in. its foreign relations.

be dismissed with the curt refusal of
former days, and'the whole question

| ENLISTED MEN ON THE RETIRED LIST.
The following meritorious bill is now
! before Congress:
That an act approved Sept. 30 1890, be
| amended rs follows: -
"That when an enlisted man has served
| 80 years in the United States Army. Navy,
| or Marine Corps, he shall by making applica-
ticn be placed on the retired list with 10 per
| centum of his pay and allowances of the rank
| upon which he was retired. and $3.50 per
month as communication of quarters"
In recommending the passage of the
bill, the House Committee on Military
| Affairs says:
| A period of so years almost equals the
average life of generation, and few are
| able 10 fully round out snch q period in any
| service. Such as have been thus faithful in
| any line of service are justly entitled to the
honorable need OF praise, but when Trey
| have served their country in either the Army
or Navy for period Of 30 consecutive years,
and have been honorably retired from such
service, the remainder OF their lives should
be surrounded by rs many of the comforts
of life as may be reasonably possible.
The purpose Of the law OF 1850, and the
amendment thereto OF 1890, was 80 secure
these results, but by passage of this bill all
ambiguity of prior legislation toward this
end will be removed.
Under existing law the class designed to
be benefited by this bill are clearly entitled
TO something which is not so clearly defined
as would seem necessary, and the passage OF
this bill is therefore required in order that
this class may obtain what previous legisla-
tion intended them 10 receive.
Many ofibese men not only served through
the war of the rebellion, but after that fol-
lowed Custer, Crook, Miles, and others in the
Indian campaigns on the frontier. This
latter service was equally as hazardous as
the war of the rebellion, and has left most of
these gallant soldiers mere physical WRECKS,
untitled for duty in any line of service, who
must depend upon the Government for sup
port.
The Government Departments are closed
against them for the most part, especially
on the ground Of their lack of bona-Gde
citizenship; but how could this be otherwise
when their county calls them to all parts of
its wide domain.
They cannot all 60 to the Soldiers Horne
nor is it desirable that they should, for they
have earned the right to have n comfortable
home, by long and ardueus service, among
their friends and kindred, il they shall so
desire.

One of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE's
prophecies, made years ago, is nearing
realization every day. 1t was that the
time is not far distant when gold will
be relatively as plentiful and cheap
as silver is to-day. The reasons for the
change arc the same. Everybody is
rushing into gold-mihing, and the long
neglected system of.agold-extraction is
being given the same development that
silverextraction received. For more
than 20 years all the chemists, engineers,
ETC., bent their energies upon improving
the methods of getting out silver, TO the
neglect of gold. Theresult was that the
process Of silver-extraction was wonder
fully improved and ellsapened, and vast
quantities we're taken from ores that it
had never before paid TO work. Pre-
cisely the same thing is now going on
in the neglected gold-felds 1t used to
be that ore which did not return several
ounces to the ton was not worth mining.
Now, with the improved machinery and
methods, they can profitably extract so
little as quarter of an ounce of gold
from a town. Consequently there is a
rush to find new gold fields, and to work
over the old ones. The annual produc-
ton of gold is much higher than ever
before in the history of the world, and
the progress fer the next few years will
be incomparably greater.

Government" organ, says:

Government organ, says:
The United States jngoes are in retreat,
but any day may see panic, followed by
great social disturbances, and then an ir-
responsible rabble of adventures take the
road to invade Canada. They have done it
before There are, so good authority says,
a million OF men without work desperate as
TO the future and with nothing to lose, who
could easily be got to join in such an in
vasion. There are also q host of Generals
and eColonelsD of more or less war expert
ence, and well yersed in the vocabulary of
brag, to take the command.
We say in all seriousness that we are
liable to such an invasion any day. 1t is,
therefore, the duty of our Government TO
take some measure of defense, and to quietly
but vigorously see what shape we are in for
resisting such attack.
Well, what could your Government :"
do, anyway, if that " million of desperate
men" led by Ga host of Colonels and
Generals should come streaming over
the border? The only way you could
save your precious Government would
be to put it away carefully on ice as near
the North Pole as possible.
