Old Soldiers Passing Away.

The ranks of the G. A. r. are slowly
but surely thinning; the boys of '61 art
passing over the river.
The Burlington News has compiled the
following interesting statistics:
1t appears that in three years from Jan
uary 1, 1891, to January /, 1894, the G
A. R. increased by 1000 members and
had total of 397 000 From the latter
date began the decline until on January
1896, the total strength of the order showed
a decline to 357 ,639.
Since then there has been an additional
shriukage to below 100000, the state Of
New York alone experiencing loss the
present year of 1000 members. Pennsyl-
vania stands at the head of the list in
respect of present membership, with 43, ,00C
men, and, until this year New York fol
lowed with $4,000, and Ohio with $4,000,
but Ohio now takes second place. Fourth
on the list is Illinois with $4,000; fifth,
Massachusetts, with $4,000; sixth, Indiana,
with $1,000; seventh, Kansas, Michigan
and Missouri, with $4,000 each, then Iowa,
with $4,000, and Wisconsin, with $4,000.
This is one OF the saddest features Of
the inevitable, this diminishing Of the
ranks with no force from which to draw
recruits. 1t will not be many years before
the veterans of the Rebellion will be as
few as the veterans Of the earlier wars
have for the past rs years.

Political Consistency.

Not long ago the Weekly expressed con-
siderable wonder how some OF the news
papers opposing Major Grout could con-
sistently support him after his nomination.
but with the exception of the Middlebusy
Register, they have run their arms down
their throats. turned themselves wrongslde
out, and are now bowling for great ma
jority in September. 1t is such exhloltiohs
as these which have caused the people TO
lose confidence in the "disinterested pup
lie spirit" and "mature Judgment OF the
press. When paper howls for three
months that candidate is utterly unit Tor
the office to which he aspires, that he is
backed by rings and thoroughly corrupt
political element, is there any better reason
why he should be elected than there was
why he sb 5uld be nominatedp Will some-
one attempt an answer to this lnterroga-
tory?-Harris Weekly.
Yes, sir, with pleasure. Major Grout,
so far as this paper was concerned at least
was not opposed as candidate because y
any marked unfitness for the office either
in point of ability or character, but because
we believe that Mr. Stickney was just as
we'll qualified for the office and was not
backed by the political organization that
we believe has deteriorated into a ring that
will not hesitate to nominate and elect its
slate by ring methods. But the place and
time to oppose this kind of politics is before
the convention has declared its choice.
After the convention has spoken it becomes
partisan duty to support the nominees Of
the convention. No Republican will bolt
the ticket except under great provocation
if he was beaten in the convention,
he will nevertheless abide by the choice
Of the convention, and await his opportus
nifty which may come later. Supporting
the party does not always imply enthusias-
tic administration for the candidates, OF
approval of the methods by which they
we're no ninated.
Speaking of this characteristic in Amer
can politics Bryce in his American Com
monwealthN says: lit is felt tiat rhes party
must be kept together, and that he who
has come into the nominating convention
hoping to carry his own candidate must de
eide by the decision of the majority The
vote Of majority has sacredness il
America not yet reached in Europe. Ever
the better class, however they may grum
BILE, are swayed by the inveterate habit o
party loyalty and prefer bad candidate
of their own party to probably no bettel
candidate of the other party"
In these few words the eminent writer
shows keen insight into American politics
1t is the force of environment that lead
an American partisan to oppose candi
date before convention and support hin
afterwards, provided his candidacy ha'
been sanctioned by the sacred majority.
