The membership of the G.. A. r. in thi.

gradually been mustered out and answered
to the long roll >In 1891 the roster of the
department showed 5445 names in 1892,
1914 in 1898, 5274: in 1891, 5097, anC
in 1895 the total membership fell below

England and Germany Pull Hair.

England is encouraging Munroe doctrine
in South Africa. Recently DR.. Jameson
representing Sosth Africa private corpo-
ration led an armed force Of 600 or 700
men into the Iransvaal, the lapd Of the
Dutch settlers called Beers. His army
was routed, 40 killed and most oi the re-
maindcr made prisoners including Dir.
Jameson. The Beers have an independent
republic and it is supposed that Jameson
made his raid with the connivancc Of the
English authorities. The emperor Of Ger
many sent message to President Kruger
Of the South African republic congratulate
ing him on the victory. This created
great furor in England and war is5now all
the talk in both countries. Gergany de-
clarcs that the rights Of the Bocrs Shall be
protected against English aggicssions.
England may yet learn that she capnot die

The New Laureate.

After nearly three years of waiting.
England again has poet laureate; his
name is Alfred Austin. He is 81 years of
age. His parents were Roman Catholics
and he was educated at Stonyhurst and st.
Mary's colleges. He took his degree at
the University of London in 1858 and four
years later was called to the bar Of the In
ner Temple.
The law did not pay and Austin turned
to his pen. He has had hand III the
liveliest work of his times in English jour
nalism. He has been editor Of the Nation
al Review, and earlier a regular writer for
the Standard, serving that newspaper as
special correspondent from Rome during
the sittings of the Ecumenical Council of
the Vatican, and also as a special cores
pondent from the headquarters OF King
Wilhelm during the Franco-Prussian war;
To enter active life his way was the path
Of the scl-madc man. His father was not
rich.

Sl00,000,000 Called For.

The administration through Secretary
Carlisle has called for loan of 100000
900 to the government. These bonds will
not be sold to a syndicate, but the loan
will be a popular one, the bonds to be sold
to banks and individuals.
The circular, which is dated January 6,
gives notice that the government will sell
800, 100000 30-ycar 4 per cent coupon
or registered bonds dated February /,
1895, for which purchasers will be required
to pay in gold coin or gold certificates.
This is the first issue by the present admin
istration of such large amount of bonds
at one time, all the previous issues having
been for S50, ,000, 900 each.
The fact that the bonds will be issued in
sums of $50 and multiples thereof, and be
PAYABLE in installments, is a feature which
it is believed will make them regarded with
popular favor.
The main reason for dating the bonds
back year is said to be in order to give
the public better opportunity to judge
their market value by comparing them witt
the gold As issued at that time, so thai
their bids can be made to conform with the
market value of these bonds on Feb
ruary l.

lnsipid Nonsense.

The following is from the pen of Eliza
beth Stuart Phelps, part of a communica-
ton sent the president;
on have, sir, a greater chance than
President Monroe had He created the
doctrine. 1t is for you to adapt it to an
advanced Christian age, which has outrun
the belligerent conditions and ideals under
which he formulated it. 1t is left for you
to rise to the heights of your times and to
say boldly Nothing (short ofthe ultimate
emergency of national life or death) in our
day and in our land justifies a war" beg
you to be great enough to do this grand
thing.
So national life or death is the only
condition that iustifies war. Under this
theory England might acquire every inch
of American soil that the United States do
not control and vet there be no ground for
a protest.
Most Vermont editors have taken very
sensible view of war scare nearly all have
stood by the administration and COM
mended the presidents attitude as patriotic
and sensible. a few, however, have shown
signs of fear and if war is really declared
