the same time with it. for the reasons
that most of the members have relatives
who are members of the grand army
and it is matter of convenience that
the meetings be held at the same time
and in the same city. The Ladies of the
Grand Army of the Republic are espe-
cially strong in Pennsylvania, outnum-
boring the Woman's Relief corps in that
state, but the latter are much stronger
numerically throughout the United
States. Both organizations promise to
hold interesting meetings and to carry
out varied programmes.
The present officers Of the Grand
Army of the Republic are Ivan N.
Walker, commander in chief; Irwin
Robbins, adjutant general, and A. j.
Burbank, quartermaster general; and
these officers are kept busy arranging
for the coming gathering, Quartermas-
ter General Burbank, whose headquar-
tiers are in Chicago, is especially active
in promoting the work and giving his
attention to it's details.
Naturally enough, and as always is
the case in advance of the encamp-
ment, greatest concern focuses about
the selection of a successor to COM
mander in Chief Walker. Three candi-
dates are in the field and nominations
would seem to have closed. The aspir-
ants for the place are T. s. Clarkson, Of
Omaha; Daniel II. Bcllou, of Rhode
Island, and John Linehap, Of New
Hampshire. All of these men have eX-
cellent war records, and are worthy and
good citizens.
Mr.. Clarkson was originally from
Illinois, from which state he entered
the army in 1861. Going west after the
war he has prospered in business, he
being very successful and astute
broker of Omaha. He would seem to
be the most formidable candidate for
the position. At last years encalnp-
ment he was a candidate for command
er in chief. but the sentiment for Mr..
Walker was so strong that in the in
terest of harmony he withdrew. There
is widespread feeling among his COM
rades, especially in the west, that this
action, together with Mr.. Clarkson's
record as a soldier and citizen, entities
him to the distinction. All that mill
tates against the success of Mr.. Clark
son is the fact that those of the past
five commanders in chief were western
men, but as an offset to this the wess
is the great recruiting ground of the
grand army. In this portion of the
country is greater enthusiasm, and tho
preponderance of acquisitions to the
order is from the geographical region
which Mr.. Clarkson represents. He is
man about IS years of age, is affable
in manner, makes friends, and holds
them, and possesses in strong degree
those qualities which go to make up
the successful leader. He has courage,
tact, organizing qualities and knows
how to control himself as we'll as to
direct others. He has legions of friends

bodies at st. Paul, both OF these having
association with, or rather, growing out
Of the former orgr nization. The first
and older of these ~ the Woman's Relief
corps, composed of wives, sisters,
mothers and daughters of the veterans,
and the name suggests the object of
the body, it being to afford succor to old
soldiers and their families whenever
they may be in need. The president of
the Woman's Relief corps is Mrs. Liza
beth APrurner, of Boston. Y
The other organization is the Ladies
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
Mrs. Catherine L. Hirst, of Louisville,
president. Its scope is the same as that
of The Woman's Relief corps, but any
loyal woman is eligible to membership,
whether or not her father, brother, hus-
hand or son was soldier in the late war.
Both ofthese organizations are entirely

Republic, although they both meet st

ering of that body since the memorable
gathering at Washington in 1892, when
strong desire to see the old ground
and to visit the southern battlefields
attracted exceptionally large numbers
of soldiers and their wives.
ST. Paul is capitally fitted for en-
tertaining the encampment, as she has
three excellent halls, any one of which
is sufficiently large for the holding of
the body, while the hotel accommoda-
tons of that city and Minneapolis are
ample for all corners. The vicinage Of
fers many attractions, and during the
gathering excursions will be made to
the various points of interest within a
radius of 100 miles.
The first day, Tuesday, will be given
to the council of administration, a body
composed of As members, one from
each department, whose duties consist
OF revision of the work of the several
officers of the body. From this council
is made up the executive committee of
seven, the quartermaster general and
adJutant general, with the commander
in chief being eX-officio members.
The grand parade, which will go over
a course nearly two miles in length,
will take place on Wednesday, COM
mencing at ten o'clock, and will con-
sflme the greater part of the day.
There is confidence on the part of Com
mander Walker and of Quartermaster
Gen. Burbank that not less than So,
900 old soldiers will be in line, and the
latter thinks the number may swell to
$4,000. He declares that interest in the
grand army grows with the years; that
the veterans make new acquaintance
at each gathering and are naturally de-
sirons of seeing them again, as we'll as
thouse who fought with them in the
same regiment and have been their
friends through more than a genera
ton.
The third and fourth days, Thursday
and Friday, will be given to the actual
work of the encampment, and during
this time advantage will be taken of
the opportunity to view the scenic
beauties of the country around about
the city.
During the encampment camp fires,
five or six in number, will be held in
various portions of the city every even
ing. beginning with Tuesday. The man.
ayers have been fortunate in securing
orators of note, all of whom are very
popular with the members of the
grand army. Among the number arc
Gen. John c. Black, of Chicago; Wash
ington Turner, secretary of state of
Michigan; Gen. r. B. Beath, past COM
ma nder in chief, OF Pennsylvania; Com
rade O'Donnell, republican candidate
for governor of Michigan, and Hon.
William Warner, of Missouri, past COM
r1ander in chief. These have all signi-
fed their acceptance of invitations to
he present and address their old COM
radss.
Simultaneous with this gathering
there will be two additional national

who are enthusiastic over his candi.
dacy and who predict that he will be
elected by an overwhelming majority.
Mr.. Bellou's candidacy is somewhat
interfered with in the fact that Mr..
Linehan also halls from New England,
that section naturally dividing its
strength between the two. He enlisted
as private in the Twelfth Rhode Island
infantry and was afterwards promoted
to a heutenantcy. His war record is
a clean one, and covers the four years Of
strife. Since the war he has practiced
his profession, that of law, in which he
has been very successful. Mr.. Bellou
has long been actively identified with
the grand army, he, like the other two
candidates, having filled the positions
of post and department commander.
He is a clear-cut, live and energetic
man, whose merit qualities him emf
nently for the position to which he
aspires.
Mr.. Linehan has long been active in
grand army circles in New Hampshire,
and, in fact, throughout New England.
He is man of about so, held in high
repute by his reighbors and most zeal
Gus in furthering all matters in which
the old soldiers are interested.
The encampment may well felicitats
itself upon the fact that it has such
worthy and good men from whom TO
make choice. A great deal of quiet
work is being done by the candidates
and their friends, especially among the
various posts throughout the United
States, but Mr.. Clarkson seems mani
testify in the lead. The aim of the
grand army has always been to have
| regard to the various localities, and,
| following this practice, the office would
| go this year to an eastern man. But Mr..
Clarkson is so popular, so eminently
| fitted for the position and so thorough
ly in touch with the order and it's men,
bers that it is not believed he can pos
sibly be beaten. At least that is the
way his friends talk, and they are will
ing to stake money on their Judgment
In this matter.
Meantime every possible care is prom
Used by the St. Paul people and the Off
GERS of the grand army that no posi-
BILE thing shall be omitted the supplying
of which will conduce to the comfort
and convenience of the soldiers.

Col. North's Definition of Luck.

"There is no such thing as luck"
said the late Cox North once. EVERY
body in the world has chances. Yes,
everybody, from the working collier
who strikes a seam of coal which was
never thought of by the mining engf'
neer, to the colliery proprietor who gets
information regarding that seam and
resolves to work it. What people call
Tack simply means that a man sees
his chance, holds on TO it, and at the
sight moment works it for himself.

EXPORTS IN 1892.

In his letter of acceptance Major
Mckinley dwells at considerable length
upon the question of tariff. Speaking
Of reciprocity and what it had done
for the country, he stated that in 1892
the export trade of the United States
ted amount of $1,O3O, 27S,14S. He fur
Their stated that in 1898, owing to the
threat of unfriendly tariff legislation
the total dropped to $S47, sos, 194. Both
statements are correct as to figures,
but is his inference correct
that the drop in the total
of our exports was owing to the
threat of unfriendly tariff legisla-
tion?" Were there not other and, gem
eral causes which induced that drop,
causes which were operative in other
countries as we'll as in our own? If
the same causes were not operating at
least the same results were being ex-
perienced in other countries. In 1892
the export trade of Great Britain was
1921 $40, 166 In 1893 the total of the
exports dropped to f277, 1873, go, a tottal
loss, as Major Mckinley would say. Of
f14,5O1, $685. or about $75,OOO,OOO. No one
will presume to ascribe that drop in
Great Britain's trade during the year
1898 to the threat of unfriendly tariff
legislation"
What do we see in France during the
years 1928? In the former year the
exports amounted to 1851, 900, 900 francs
in the latter year they amounted to
4,326,000,000 francs, a, total loss of 225,-
COO, 900 francs, as Major Mckinley
would say. Was this loss owing to the
threat of unfriendly tariff IegisJa-
ton" in France in 1898? There was no
threat of tariff legislation of any
description in France in that year
When Major Mckinley explains how
1T was that the export trade of Great
Britain and France fell off in about the
same ratio that the trade of the United
States did in 1893, there being no
threat of unfriendly tariff legislation"
in either country in that year, his ex-
PLANTATION of the drop in OUT own ex-
port trade in 1893 will be entitled to
more consideration than lit is now. In
seeking this explanation he may dis
cover that like causes produce like re-

him by the declaration OF the Cil4cs. go
platform. He has handled the subject
in way that viii meet the approval
OF all who hold the same views uIon
the financial question that he does.
What his party and the people desired
was that he should make full and
explicit declaration of his views upon
the silver question, and this he has
done.
He discusses somewhat at length the
tariff question and one or two other
questions, but upon these the country
already knew his views, and did not
care one way or another whether he
expressed them. What he has to say
about the war being long since over
will meet with the hearty approval of
ALL no matter what party they may
belong to. The letter is a stronger one
than it was generally thought he would
put forth. He has made the most Of
his side that could be made of it.
