PERSONAL.

Comrade n. j. Enright, formerly Of the 1ffeA
Ohio, now residing at 6114 Madison avenr
Chicago, has an exceedingly we'll written and
interesting account of the battle of franklin
in the June number of the K.dlaad Monthly
COmrade Enright's regiment was in the thick of
the fight, and on the flank of the break that
occurred. Its steadiness prevented the break
from extending farther along the line, and is
won bonors in the battle. Comrade Enrighe
tells the story very wildly.
The comrades of South Dakota are deter
mined that q veteran shall succeed in the
Senate the "Indocrat" James Henderson
Kyle, whose term expires March 3, 1897 At
present they are not represented in the Senate
by man who served during the war, Senator
Pettigrew having been too young Represent
alive John A. Pickler, whose record in four
Congresses is greatly to their liking is the
leading candidate for Senator Kyle's place. OUT

The Department Of South Dakota, GAR,
is earnestly pushing Past Department Com
mander G. S. Palmer for Senior Yice-Com-
mander-in-Cbief, and will send very active
delegation to ST. Paul TO work for him.
The oldest ex- United States Senator is Jas.
w. Bradbury. of Augusta. who has Just COM
pIeted his 9th year. &c is Jefersonian,
GOld-standard Democrat and was sent to the
Senate in 1916, and later occupied seat next
to that of Jefferson Davis. With him in the
Senate Webster. Clay, Calhoun, Hamlin.

thinks that Daniel Webster was the greatest

and the ignominy heaped upon him.
His letters in possession Of the War De
partment show that even in the tenn
pestuous days when Richmond was being
evacuated, his deluded followers were
being devoured by the anguish of dis
pair, and the city being swept by con-
fiagration, he was mainly solicitous about
getting his favorite saddle horses and
other personal property safely out of
the doomed city.
1t is very difficult to make such n
man venerated as a hero and martyr.
All the forid rhetoric of the eulogists
of the rebellion cannot conceal the ugly
facts of JEFF Davis's career and person
atty. There are too many people yet
alive in the South who remember Davis
personally. There are too many indis-
putable records. There is far too little
in anything that Davis ever said or did.
The strong light of to-day is too search
ing upon his deformed, repugnant char
acter to allow his being made hero, no
matter how hard the mrepentant and
unreconstrueted may strive to do it.
Were they wise in their day and genera
ton they would expose JET Davis to
view as little as possible. They would
court obscurity and silence for him.
They may have some hope when talking
about Lees soldiership and elevation of
character, but when they bring jeff
Davis out on parade they know. and the
world knows, they are drawing attention
to a whited sepulcher full of all manner
of wickedness, at which the heart of
mankind revolts.

THE SERVICE PENSION.

Now is the time to begin getting in
effective work for a general Service Pen
sion of not less than So q month.
The greatest work must be done in the
way of shaping public opinion in favor
of such a measure. To this every COM
rade should address himself. He should
see that the subject is brought up at
every political and soldier gathering,
and fully discussed. He need not be
afraid of such discussion. The argu-
ments in favor of Service Pension are
so strong and unanswerable that it will
gain every time the subject is brought
up. Even those comrades who are in
receipt of larger pensions will gain in
directly by having the Service Pension
adopted, for their own pensions will be
put on a more secure basis, and they can
show that if men are placed on the rolls
for service alone, they who received
wounds and disabilities should receive
higher rates.
Therefore, let every comrade put his
hand to the wheel and help along all
that he can in favor of molding public
sentiment in the direction Of general
Service Pension. Let us make cam
paign this Summer that will leave no
doubt of the immediate passage Of the
bill as soon as Congress meets.
For this THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
is going to fight with unhagging zeal
until it is secured. Begin your good
work by sending in club of subscribers
for the paper, and doing all that you

Dawley and allowing Consul General
Lee to see other American citizens as ga
matter of grace" Gen. Lee cannot stop
this nonsense too soon for his own credit
He has not been sent to Cuba to ask
favors, but to demand justice and fair
dealing. He has the most absolute
right, as the authorized representative of
the United States, to see at once every
American citizen who may be arrested,
under any pretext whatever, to see him
alone, without the presence of Spanish
officials, and to demand the immediate,
unconditional release of such as are un-
lawfully arrested. Let him inform
Captain-General Weyler of this in
plain, unmistakable "United States"
and incidentally allude to the fact that
there is quite an American fleet an
chored around Fortress Monroe ready
to back up his requests.

GEN. SHERMaS's MEMOIRS.

This weeks installment Of "The Per-
sonal Memoirs of Gen. w. I. Sherman !"
deals with an important step in his life
his return to California to enter into
the banking business.
Things moved rapidly in those days,
and the Army became too dull for a
man Of his active. sanguine temrera-
ment. The intense, far-reaching activity
in the new Land of Gold appealed to
him much more strongly than the dull
routine of receiving proposals and issu-
ing supplies in the Commissary Depart
ment. The General does not hesitate
to tell a good joke at his own expense,
as in the case of the ladies whom he
gallanted over the long journey by the
way of the Isthmus of Panama.
The next installment will tell of his
experience in the banking business dur
ing the hustling days just before the
panic of 1857.

BICYCLE NOTES.

Probably 10000 men are'engaged in this
country in making bicycles, and $4,000 more
in making bicycle sundries.
There are about 100000 wheelmen in tho
United States. That is, one in every IL persons
rides.
One firm sold last year 263, 427 cyclometers.
There are $50 concerns which manufacture
wheels on q considerable scale, without count
ing innumerable smaller concerns.
Half million wheels were made and sold in
1894, $50 900 in 1885, and there will be 1000, 600
sold this year.
The people of the United States will spend
this year for wheels at least s7o,Ooo.oo0. The
saloon keepers. cigar men, watcbmakers, the

CYCLONES" AND "ToRNADoEs."

1t is a mistake to call the windstorms in this
country cyclones" They are really lorna
does. much more terrible form. Cyclones
are tropical storms, and never appear in the
Temperate zones. They depend upon the
difference in temperature of great masses of
air, aud consequently extend over a wide
stretch, from 500 to 1900 miles in breadth
The winds blow around in a circle at speed
of from 40 to 80 miles an hour. and the cyclone
moves forward at the rate of from % to 80 miles
an hour, Tornadoes are local disturbances re-
shifting from differences of temperature in
different strata of air. They are generally
produced toward evening by the earth becOm-
ing very heated during the day and then
cooled down suddenly by light rain. They
may be only SIX feet wide, and from that up to
1000. No one knows how hard the wind blows
during their brief continuance, because no in-
strument has ever been gotten to measure it.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1896-06-18


To these may be added the expedi-
ton of 10000 men sent to the island in
February, 1896, and not included in
the estimate of Senior Solderilla, which
refers to the year 1895, and the $4,000
volunteers employed for the garrison OF
Havana and the principal towns OF
Cuba.
Thus, unless disease has made fright
full havoc, the Spaniards should have a
total of 239, 1896 men under arms ON the
island.
As really there does not seem to be
more than $4,000 or $4,000 in sight in
the Spanish camps, it becomes probable
that the old corrupt system maintains
itself in the Spanish army, and the off
GERS are receiving pay for the services,
food, clothing, transportation, arms,
barracks, ETC., Of tens of thousands of
men who only exist on paper.
This sort Of thing prevailed all over
Europe prior to the French Revolution,
and helped greatly to give the astonish-
inu victories which the French won ovar
their enemies. The Republican armies
of France were real armies, where | 900
men on the rolls counted for something
like 1000 men, while 1000 men in
another army might not actually mean
80 put upon the battlefield. The result
of the Napoleonic wars were sweeping
reforms everywhere but in Spain,
Russia, and some minor countries,
which never reform. 1t is this cor
ruption which has sapped out the heart
of Spain.
1t is hopelessly incurable, for the PEG.
pie are kept too ignorant to ever learn
the truth. The only thing that could
save Spain would be free schools and
compulsory education, and this she will
never have.

thousand Spaniards. The battle is said

Spaniards lost but four men killed and
two officers and 50 men wounded. The

THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.

As we 90 to press-Tuesday noon
the Republican Convention at st, Louis
is organizing and getting ready for work.
There is no doubt about anything that
it will do, except as TO the selection for
the candidate for the Vice-Presidency.
The nomination of Maj. Mckinley on
the first ballot has been d foregone con-
clusion for weeks, and also that the
platform would declare for a return to
the Mckinley theory of Protection, for
an inhexible adherence to the Gold
standard, at least until international
agreement decided upon bimetalism, for
liberal pension policy, and for Wig
orous foreign policy.
On this platform Maj. Mckinley will
sweep the country by probably the
biggest majority ever given Presi-
dental candidate.
We shall discuss the matter at length
in next weeks paper.

The report of the Adjutant for the
Maryland Division for the quarter
ended March 81, 1896, shows that a
slight gain had been made by the rein
statement of one Camp with a member
ship of q, and the muster-in of ~ new
members, but that this had been Offset
by the suspension Of four Camps with
1l3 members, leaving a total of %
Camps in good standing, with mem
bership Of 491. The Division Of Mary
land should make better showing than
this. It should have as many thousand
members as it now has hundreds, and it
can before the end of the year, if the
brethren will 90 at work with zeal and

State are the SONS of 1.-THE men who
fought to preserve the Union. These
