No Veteran Should Be Discharged.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: At q meeting
held Nov. q. 1896. of Henry Wilson Post, 13
Grand Army of the Republic of New Jersey,
the following resolution was offered BY Past
Commander Gus Theiry, and was unanimously
adopted:
ave most respectfully request that the
Honorable Board of Chosen Freeholders do not
remove any OF the honorably discharged Union
soldiers OF the late war from the positions that
they may at present hold. but let them re-
main in their respective positions, as is in
tended by the Veteran Act now on the New
Jersey statutes, which law was passed by both
branches of the Legislature, without regard to
party, and which is the unanimous desire of
the general public Of this State, and all the
United States, as can be seen in the public
press, as the percentage of war veterans hold
ing positions is so small at this time it would
work great hardship among them, and be q
very great injustice to those who served their
country in its greatest need"
The above was passed by rising vote with
out debate, and q copy ordered to DO for
warded to each Chosen Freebooter in this
County, and also to the press and to all GAR

LEGISLATORS MEET.
Congress Convenes for the Second Session

Congress Convenes for the Second Session.
1t Will BE Brief One.
Congress opened its second session on Mon
day. The sight was bright and enlivening.
The floor was packed up to the last moment
that the unprivileged were permitted to tread
its boundaries. For two or three years past it
has seemed as if the custom of complimenting
favorite members with floral gifts were falling
into disuse. To-day there was an unexpected
revival. Flowers blossomed and bloomed in
the richest profusion.
The Speaker called the House to order. In
the hush the Chaplain sent up his prayer. The
prayer over, the hum of voices once moro rose.
and kept mp while the Clerks went through
the tiresome half-hour's labor of calling the
roll. Mr.. Reed stretched himself back in his
chair and beamed languidly on the troops of
members who came up from time to time to
greet him after the long recess. The Presi-
dents Message was received later in the day.
In the Senate, much the same sort of scene
was enacted. But it was the first public re-
uaon of several men who changed sides in the
last campaign on the financial question. and
was, therefore, particularly interesting. Nearly
every member of the Senate was in his seat
when the Vice. Presidents gavel called the body
to order, and most of them were in the Chamber
at least 80 minutes before. There was gen.
eral renewal of acqusintances and an appear
ance of cordiality in the greetings exchanged.
Silver men and gold men met each other with
demonstrations apparently Of the warmeat If.
lection. 1t is observed at the opening of every
session that men, whether Senator'S Members
of the House of Representatives or employees
greet each other with the elusive cordiality oil
old college chums who do not again address
one another during the year. The reading OIL
the message occupied most Of the session.

are Of the 10.inch size
It was terrific shock. No one can describe
the deep boom of such volley. 1t was like an
earthquake to the accompaniment of heavy
artillery. Every man on the bridge had stuffed
his ears with cotton, and this deadened the
sharp-cntting blow on the tympanum of each
ear. An intense CLEAN of excitement bright
ened the eyes Of every man, and then all
strained their eyes to see the splash. The noise
was forgotten at once. About 10 seconds passed,
and then three miles away to the east two
immense geysers spouted up from the ocean.
phey went up to q hight of fully IS feet, and
for second or two seemed to remain station
airy. Then it was that they looked like beauti-
full iccbergs cleaning in the sun, their green
sides flashing with color. Soon they began to
melt, and just as they were dropping their
glowing forms into the sea two more geysers
sprang up half mile beyond. They were
fully SO feet tall. They, too, became icebergs,
and then, as they began to melt, two more
eeysers, probably IS feet high, sprsng up and
were transformed to bergs. Then others, smaller
and smaller, leaped into the air as the four
shots, in pairs, went recocheting across the
waters. The icebergs were gone now, and the
surging foam looked as il two pairs of por-
poises were leaping in mad frolic in monster
Jumps across the water, miles and miles away

Monument to Naval Veterans.

The first monument erected exclusively to
the memory of naval veterans of the civil war
was dedicated on Thanksgiving Day at Loudon

to the naval dead.

ARMY sINGNALLING.
The National Guard Practiclng the Myer
System.


System.
The New York National Guard has adopted
the Myer system of signalling, and is indus
trionsly practicing it.
This code has been In use in the Navy for
many years. 1t was devised by Gen. Myer
while the civil war was in progress. The Regular
Army gave up the Morse code some time ago.
aud the various National Guards have followed
it's lead. The merits of the Myer code are its
sim plicity and the rapidity with which it can
be used. The Morse code is system of dots
dashes, and spaces. The Myer system is one of
numerals The letters are made up of various
ordinations of and 2, 2112 for instance,
meansing as" 2 meaning b, !" and mean
ing II" Spaces have been done away with
altogether. The numeral takes their place.
One means the end Of word, two 3s mean
the end of sentence and three 3s mean the
end of message. The method of signalling
the numerals is as follows: A wave of the
torch to the right means /, wave to the left
means 2, and perpendicular wave means B.
Under the Morse code dots and spaces were
very often confused and Q message bungled.
The new torch 10 also supposed to be an inn
proyement on the old. The old torch was made
of big wick, one end of which rested in YES
eel containing kerosene. Every 20 minutes or
20 the signalling had to stop in order that more
| oil might b put into the vessel. This often
caused delay when minutes were precious.
The new torch 10 quite different 1t consists
of . ball of asbestos at the end of an iron rod.
Just below tho ball is copper cup to catch tho
drippings. The ball is soaked with kerosene,
aud all that is needed to keep it burning 10 ia
plunge it into pail of oil when its light shows
signs Of dwindIing, aud this can b done SO
quickly that the signalling need not be inter.

State during past years:

The tax returns, especially on life In
surance, are liabls to fluotuation. The
tax on the insurance companies is based
upon their premiums, after deductlng the
various amounts paid for death losses,
matured endowments, surrender values,
returned premiums, dividends to policy
holders, and reinsurance. For instance,
a company may have received premiums
amounting to $50. 600. The company.
perhaps, pays out $4,000 in losses. etc.
On the difference, 49,, 900, the tax of 2 per
cent is imposed. The following year, the
premiums might be no larger. but the
losses etc., being less, larger tax
would result
What is "a very significant figure which
has been made regarding the insurance
business, is the returns to the insurau 30
commissioner Of fees for licenses issued
during the year. These in 1895, amount.
ed to $40, 1856, an increase of 1888 over the
previous year, which latter showed the
largest returns Of any up to that date.
Mr.. Carr says that the standard fire in
surance policy which ali companies are
required by law passed in 1895 to use in
this State, has done much to help the
insurance business in this State. He,
moreover, says that the business is show
ing most healthy increase, companies
from other states recognizing Maine as
good field for business.
