MAKING UP CLUBS.

Make up clubs in every neighbor-
hood for The NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
This is the surest way in which to help
along pension legislation. The Ma
T1oNAL TRIBUNE makes a persistent
fight for the rights of the veterans, and
to its influence much that has already
been gained for the veterans can be
credited. 1t is going to struggle with
even greater energy in the future for
what we still desire. Let every CON-
rade push its circulation all that he can.
He is helping himself and his comrades
by doing so, for The NATIONAL TRIB-
uNE is most powerful agent in mold
ing public opinion in favor of the vet
Grams, and should be read in every COM
munity. Let every comrade send in at
least his own name and one other.

THE King of Greece seems to be one
of those rather unusual men who can
distinguish between stiff bluff and a
real intention to fight. The Great
Powers gave him a bluff that would
have scared most men into quaking SUBJ

Greece is only about half so large as
Ohio in territory and population, and
far from being half sorich. That is,
she has 10000 square, miles and 2,oOo,-
GOO people. Yet she kept stiff upper
lip and went ahead with her business
when she was threatened by Great
Britain, France, Germany, Austro-H Hun
gary. Russia, and Italy, as we'll as Tur-
key. The result is THAT she has practi,
cally gotten Crete, Yish'its 1000 square
miles and 100000 people, as we'll as its

KAISER WILHELM's self-complacenc
more aggressive

KAISER WILHELM's self.complacency
has received an irritating shock. People
outside his dominions will not receive
his conception of his own God-given
wisdom and infallibility as meekly as
those in Deutschland have to. He is
angry at us that we have entered into a
treaty with England which leaves her
much freer to bully him than before.
Whereupon he proceeds to publicly
snub Americans on all occasions He
should be careful. He may make us
SO mad that we will analyze some
of the wine and beer which his sub
jects make and sell us at great profit,
and stop the importation. England also
gave him the stony glare when he pro.
posed to call Greece down by block
aiding Athens, and he rightly feels that
this is puncture of his diplomatic tire.

suEEMAN.s MEMOIRS.

Sherman's Memoirs have reached an
misunderstanding stage. The Atlanta
Campaign is in full swing. Every day
is crowded with events of deepest por-
tent. Every hour, even, is heavy with
fatefulness. The two great armies are
In constant grapple, the rife and cannon
are never silent-150,000 strong, de-
termined, desperately men are
struggling through the forests and over
the mountains for the advantage. The
rebels are steadily forced back, they lose
an immense stretch of valuable ground,
but they are never hurt SO badly as the
Union people sanguinely hope, and they
manage to infict bloody repulse upon
lis at Kenesaw. Sherman tells the story
with great vividness. He tells of his
hopes and disappointments, what he ex-
pected to accomplish, and how far his
expectations were realized. Through
all the story runs the charm of Sher-
mans own magnetic personality. BE
sure to renew promptly, so as not to lose
single number.

SPEAKER (pro tetD WE1LEP, of the
Kansas House of Representatives, adds
his contribution to the vagaries of that
congery of impracticables. The Kansas
Constitution provides that the members
of the Legislature shall only receive pay
for a session of so days. The laudable
object of this was to shorten sessions as
much as possible. The pay of all en-
ployes-S3 per diem-goes on, however,
as long as the session shall last. Mr..
Weilep feels most keenly that so days is
all too short time for him and his COM
peers to do the talking they want to.
Eternity alone would be long enough for
that. But he and they want to talk at
some one else's expense. We are all ac-
quainted with this characteristic of theirs.
Therefore, after the prescribed so days are
up, Mr.. Weilep proposes to discharge the
employees and fill their places with the
wives Of the members, who will draw
the So day, and thus give support and
assistance to their husbands while en-.
gagged in arduous labor Of their laws
This is great scheme. Many of the
members want to get home as soon as
they can. to arrange for their Spring
work, but this consideration does moi
affect Mr.. Weilep's following. They
would much rather put in their time
talking at So a day than in planting
corn. We hope that Mr. Weilep's pro
position will succeed. Kansas people
would have a Populist Legislature
Now give them enough of it.

notice any more Populistic harangues nor
the too-frequent string Of epithets of gold

heartily. But how do you stand upon the

pOint?-AN OLD SOLDIER, Austin, III.
Certainly, our comrade is not to be
denounced for entertaining and asserting
| the opinions that he sets forth. Those
| are economic questions upon which
there we'll may be difference of opinion.
They should be discussed temperately
and judicially with the fullest considera-
ton of all the facts involved, so that the
exact truth can be arrived at. That is
the sort of discussion that we invite, in
fullest confidence that we can demon
strate to the comrade that he is mistaken.
But our comrade does not state all
the facts in the case. In the first place,
the vituperation was begun by the Free
Silver advocates, and had been in
bitter, unrestrained tide for years before
the advocates of Sound Money began a
systematic campaign against it. 1t is
not wonderful that these were tempted
into retaliating in kind, nor that their
epithets, being based on truth, stung and
hurt severely. The Free Silverites found
to their amazement that they were not
the only ones who could "call names"
Secondly, the Free Silver heresy was
only part Of the obnoxious Chicago
| platform. If the trainers of that re-
markable political manifesto had studied
how to make it most repugnant to the
sober sound sense and patriotism of the
country, they could scarcely have sue
ceeded better.
Come with your simple proposition as
to its being mistake to adopt the gold
standard, comrade, and we will be glad
to discuss it with you.

ONE MoRE WEEK.

One more week, and the long-drawn
oppressiveness of CIeveland's Admins
tration will be ended and brighter days
will dawn everywhere with the incoming
of Comrade Mckinley. The past four
years have been something to shudder at.
When we look back over them and
consider the injury done to every class
of people and every interest-how
men in every position Of life have been
hurt enormously by them-it seems
that the people. Of the United States
must have been struck with madness to
elect such men to power as they did four
years ago. 1t was against all reason
and all experience, and the punishment
was certain.
The NATIONAL TRIBUNE has the
consolation Of knowing that it did all
that it could to avert the catastrophe.
Before the elections four years ago it
warned the comrades and the country
as to what was certain to follow the
election Of Mr.. Cleveland and the men
who would come into office with him.
Every one will admit that we did not
overdraw the picture in the least. 1t
has been much worse than we feared.
Unfortunately, those who tried to pre-
vent the catastrophe have suffered quite
as severely as those who were instru-
mental in bringing it about.
All the good that we can hope to get
out of the gross blunder Of four years
ago is instruction. We have had "a
severe object-lesson as to the danger to
the country from that class Of men.
This should be firmly impressed upon
the minds Of this generation at least.
Every one of the loud-talking, much
promising men who attained to power
four years ago now goes out, or has
already gone out, with the seal of public
condemnation upon him. He is stamped
as false prophet, a deluder of the
people, guide only to failures and
miseries. ,ss :,
These men are all politically dead,
but a new crop will rise to mislead the
people. led
