SPREAD THE NATIONAL Tribune.

SPREAD THE NATIONAL Tribune.
Every comrade of the GAR, and
every brother of the Sons of Veterans,
should do all in his power to extend the
circulation of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
He should subscribe for it himself, and
get others to do so.
TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has always
been a great power in this country, and
now it is very much stronger and more
influential than ever. 1t did a great
deal towards securing the election of
Maj. Mckinley, and this is generally
known and recognized. Its prestige has
been much enhanced by the results of
the election.
ALI the power and influence that it
has gained will be used for the veterans
and the Sons of Veterans. 1t has abso-
lutely no favors to ask the incoming
Administration and Congress except fair
treatment and justice for the veterans
and their dependent ones. No one con-
nected with the paper wants any sort of
an office or other favor from the domi-
nant party.
We want everything for the veterans,
and we can be the agency of securing
much for them. That We may do the
most, we want the support of every one
of them. With all of them behind us we
can secure for the veterans all that is
right.
The best way therefore to work for
the success of the Service Pension and
other desired legislation is to build up
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE's subscription
list. Every additional subscriber that
it has adds to its power for good.
We urge the comrades in every Post
and the brothers in every Camp to take
the matter up, and get up clubs in their
Posts and Camps. Let them help US
and we will help them most effectively

Maj. Mckinley received much the

more than double sseaeyeland's majority

that the American people are pre-emi-

ca rried away by the torrents of asser.

actual facts. which they would consider

THE SERVICE PENSION.

Now is the time to begin active work
for the Service Pension. 1t must come.
1t is due US; it is but justice, and the
time for that justice is at hand.
We want it now, while we can have
the benefit of it before we are all dead.
We want it as basis and security
for other pension legislation.
We want it to put an end to the
heart-sickening- circumlocution and de-
lay in the Pension Bureau.
We want it as the National recogni-
ton of the value Of our services and
sacrifices.
We want it to give recognition and
honor to every man who served his
country faithfully in the days of her
trial. His pension certificate will be a
title-deed to honor, which he can proud
ly transmit to his descendants, and will
be as proudly cherished by them.
Let us all go to work earnestly for
this one measure, without any division
of our forces upon other propositions.
We can only get one thing, and only
get that thing by unity of effort Let
us get this thing first, and then turn our
attention to other legislation that we
desire.
The time is now ripe for this effort.
Everything favors it. Let us improve
the opportunity by going to work earn

TRIUMPH OF THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Against several,.a / diplomatic
mistakes Presidents Cleveland is now
able to score one great and unmistakable
success. The British Government has
receded from all of IFS positions in regard
to Venezuela, and fully admitted our
contentious. btu,
This was done In can agreement con-
cluded Nov. 12,es between Secretary
olney, of the Stat, Department, and
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British EN-
bassador. The agreement is not treaty,
but it is just as effective as one. 1t pro-
vides for the submission Of the boundary
dispute to an arbitration board, of which
the United States shall appoint two
members, Great Britain two, and the
four elect fifth.
The first and much the greatest effect
of this is that it is an international rec
ignition of the Monroe Doctrine, and
of the right of the United States to In
terfere decisively whenever we think
that the rights Of any of the countries
in the Western Hemisphere are being
endangered.
This proposition was bitterly de-
nounced by the English press last Spring,
and their denunciations were echoed by
those of France and Germany. All
those countries are looking eagerly to-
ward South America, if not for terrific
rial possessions then for trade advantages.
and they are very hostile to our ac1ulr-
ing a preponderating influence. Lord
Salisbury denied explicitly that the
Monroe Doctrine or any other doctrine
gave us any right whatever to interfere
between Great Britain and any Amerl-
can country, and the English-toadying
papers in New York supported him.
Now Lord Salisbury admits unre-
servedly our rights in the premises, and
the whole case goes with it. The rest
is mere detail. The Monroe Doctrine

4 SHORT tTT TO RICHES.

Ne" York Times: William Lown-
ders, secretary of the treasury of Eng
land in 1896. proposed that upon a re-
coinage the new shilling should be
worth only nincpenCe or ni]nepence-
halfpenny. OF him Macaulay Y
Tic was not in the least aware that a
piece of metal with the kings head on
it was a commodity of which the price
was governed by the sound laws
which govern the price of a piece of
meta! fashioned into a spoon or buckle,
and that it was no more in the power
of parliament to make the kingdom
richer by calling a crown a pound than
to make the kingdom larger by calling
a furlong a mile. He seriously be-
lieved, incredible as it may seem. that
if the ounce Of silver were divided into
seven shilling instead of five, foreign
nations would sell us their wines and
their silks for a smaller number of
ounces."-Macauley's History of Eng
land, volume v. chapter XXI. page 9G.

aEnut a flock of pigeons that measured

cat of from their cote by "a large hawk.
The pigeons knew that if the hawk once
got above them one at least of their
number would go to make the hawka
meal, and so up they flew in circles,
perhaps hoping 10 so higher than the
hawk. In tie rising game they were no
match for the hawk. The latter kept
under the pigeons and leisurely follow
ed their labcrious movements.
Then came II curious and unexpected
sight to Nh. Edwards. Every pigeon
closed its wings, when they appeared to
be the size # sparrows and down they
came past the hawk at u terrific rate.

lodged the dropping birds and missed
half u dozen wing strokes before it got

down to the barnyard, rot a pigeon was
in sight-solne were in the cote, some
in the porch, two in the wellhouse, and
one was in the kitchen. The hawk had
been outwitted completely. 1t is Il qucs-

Savannah, Ca, Sept. SO.-The West

and this section yesterday, has hardly
been eQualed for intensity and destruc-
ton within the memory OF those now
living here. The wind reached it's high
est speed shortly after u O'Clock. but
its exact velocity may never be known.
The instrument at the weather bureau
registered &C miles an hour, and then
went to pieces. The barometer went
to $3.50. 1t would have gone lower and
even below the 1881 of 1893 had the
storm continued longer.
The blow was practically over within
two and one-half hours, but for that
time it ragged with an intensity hereto
fore unknown. Tin roofs were the es-
pecial playthings of the wind, and they
were rolled up everywhere, as if of It's
sue paper. and with the nicely of the
timer in economizing space. There
must have been 100 tons of tin rolled
off the roofs in Savannah yesterday.
e'ia itll ever NlleIe, anu
hundreds Of roofs were totally demol-
ished.
1t is impossible to enumerate the
buildings unroofed or partially des-
troyed. Shattered trees covered every
street, and these, with hundreds of fall
len wires, made the streets impossible
for several hours. The total damage is
estimated from 500. 900 to 81, 900, 900 in
Savannah and Chatham county. The
list of fatalities, SO far, is about nine,
all in or near the city.
There has been no way of reaching

The storm originated in the West

the cyclonic disturbance lost none of

BUILDINGS FALL.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-A windstorm
last night gave Washington the worst
shaking up it ever had. The wind blew
in a rotary manner reaching the We
locity of IS miles an hour. Rain was
driven in foods-it did not fall. Light
black clouds and sharp claps of thun-
der contributed to make nature a weird
caldron.
A brick building, five stories in
height, at 1918 Pennsylvania avenue
was demolished. the ruins falling upon
and crushing Beatty's restaurant and
Kelly's dairy lunch adjoining and im>
prisoning six men. Four OF them we're
soon released. George Sutton. a cook.
was pinned in the wreck and was there
until 12:45 O'Clock.
The steeple of the New York avenue
Presbyterian church was blown off.
The tower OF the Grand opera house
was hurled to the. sidewalk. Trees on
every hand were everywhere uprooted,
their branches being strewn SO thick
ly as to form complete %blockades in
many places. Some OF these are made
compact with the addition of tin roofs
from houses, signs, boards. shutters,
pieces Of fencing. boxes and barrels
from in front of adjoining Stores.
Telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires were snapped and their
ends dangled %furiously in the storm. A
horse stepped on a live wire at Seventh
street and Pennsylvania ven and
dropped dead. At the water front every
boat received terrible wrenchings. The
Natalie. al excursion steamer, had
holes stove in its side, and was half
sunk. Others were also torn loose
from the moorings and some went
adrift down stream or were dashed
against other boats and the sea wall.
It is next to impossible to compute the
loss.
The storm came up about 10 o'clock
last night. About II o'clock a crash
that could be heard a mile away told
that the Metropolitan railroad power
house on Four and a Half street had
fallen. All the houses within a block
were shaken to their foundations and
in a few minutes the streets were full
Of scared people running to the scene.
