THE STORY OF
ANDERSONVILLE.
The Greatest Account Ever Written of
That Martyrdom.
BY JOHN McELROY.
To Begin in the Issue Of March II.

The publication of McElroy's "Story
of Andersonville," 20 years ago, pro-
duced a profound sensation throughout
the entire country. 1t was the first
really complete, graphic account of that
inconceivably pathetic martyrdom Of
prison life which cost the Nation more
than 10000 young lives. 1t was repro
duced in book form and an immense
number of copies sold, but the editions
were exhausted years ago, and though
there has since been widespread de-
mand for the book, no more have been
printed.
The NATIONAL TRIBUNE will now
republish the great story, which will be
welcome news to the veterans, and still
more to the generation which has grown
up since its first publication and longs
to be fully informed on subject to
which they hear constant illusions, but
can get no detailed, comprehensive in
formation. THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
has the sole right Of publication, and it
will appear in no other paper.
The first instalment will appear in
our issue for March II.
Send in your subscriptions at once, so
as not to miss single number of this
intensely interesting story.

Cuban Complication.

Something Of sensation was caused last week
by the announcement through Cuban de-
spatches that Consul Gen. Lee had asked the
State Department for warships to insure pro-
lection of the rights of American citizens
against the Spaniards. and being refused had
resigned.
Finally it was stated that De LONE had CON-
municated to Madrid that the war spirit was
rising in this country, and the Spanish Govern
meut had made assurances that the treatment
of Americans In Cuba would be investigated.
The latest information is from Julio Sanguilly,
who was released in Cuba after having been
sentenced to life imprisonment for alleged con-
spiracy against the Spanish Government and
arrived this week at Tampa. He says Gen.
Lee told him that after thoroughly understand
ing the situation he made up his mind to de-
mand the freedom of every American now a
prisoner in Cuba without just cause. but that
he must have warships to back up his demands.
He had made his intentions known to Secretary
O.ney, he said, and had sent his resignation, to
90 into effect if the request was not granted.
As q matter Of courtesy. he was waiting now
for the new Administration, and would tell it
the same thing.

To-day, Mr.. Cleveland, we bid you a
lasting, but far fromsregretful, good-by
To be quite frank with you, not since
Buchanan's time h ny z we been so des-
perately anxious to get rid of a Presi-
dent and his following as we have been
to be relieved of you and yours.
We are unspeakably glad that not a
grain of the responsibility for you and
yours rests upon Our oGid'' shoulders. The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE did all that it
possibly could to prevent your election,
and vigorously sounded the trumpet of
warning as to what would follow that
disaster.
Now, with relief that passeth speech,
we say good-by to you.
Good-by to your Infamous foreign
policy, with its efforts to impose disso-
Lutte mulatto tyrant upon the people who
had thrown off her vicious yoke and
longed to come under the protection of
our Flag; with its abasement OF the
Flag which had been rightfully hoisted
over fair Hawaii; with its shameful
aiding and abetting Of Spain in her
barbarous treatment of the struggling
Cubans; with its truck ling to England
in matters relating. to our National
dignity.
Good-by to your ruinous Free Trade
policy, which has taken the bread out of
millions Of mouths, and for four dread
full years has wrecked business from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
Good-by to the domination of " Lost
Cause" ideas, to the effort to chain the
free, progressive Nation to the corpse of
the dead Southern Confederacy.
Good-by to the reign Of Soldier
hatred.
Good-by to the infinite daily, petty
and malignant prosecutions Of the men
who wore the blue as to their pensions
and places in public employment.
Good-by to the reductions" the
suspensions" the determinations, I"
the "droppings." the "'discontinuances,"
and the whole list of torturing bush
whackings of the veterans, their widows
and dependent ones. :
Good-by, Mr.. Cleveland, to you and
yours. You have done your worst.
They have done, their worst. You
and they have bad your day, and
it has been an inconceivably long, sad
day for everybodyIyour friends as we'll
as opponents.
We now welcome new, glad day, in
which your only share will be the happy
contrast made between you and those
who succeed you.

THE SONS OF VETERANS.

There are some strong personal con-
siderations which should operate to in
duce every son of a veteran to join the
Sons of Veterans, and give his assist
ance toward building up the Order into
the greatest strength and usefulness.
This is very large country, with an
immense population. We have the
finest facilities for travel in the world,
and our people make more use of them
than any other. We 60 to and fro
great distances, and mingle with one
another more than any other people in
the world. Therefore, it is very desir-
able that any one of us should be sure
of finding friends and acquaintance in
any place to which be may 60. The
Sons of Veterans may be made great
means of securing this by the extension
of its membership to every part of the
country, and careful guarding of the
kind of men admitted to the Order. A
man, for example, going from Boston to
New Orleans or San Francisco, ought to
feel sure that he will find there brethren
who will take a friendly interest in him,
whom he can meet at once rs old-tlme
acquaintance, who will give him cor
rect information, and facilitate his set
Element there, or whatever business he
may have in hand.
The Sons of Veterans can do this
better than any other class of men In
the community outside of the GAR.
There is no disputing the fact that the
men who fought the battles of the
Union we're the picked men of their
communities. They were the highest
average of manhood. That man Is
on of a veteran is at once a strong pre-.
sumption as to his manhood, his sense OF
duty, his honor, and the method of his
rearing. If he can add to this the fact
Il. . c.. 20 ~ xT.toror -, pond
standing, belonging to Camp of rec
cgnized position, he has an introduce
ton everywhere to men of the best
stamp. They cannot fail to take an
unusual interest in him, in whatever
position of life he may be, and their
help will be of material assistance.
liz population so large as ours men
naturally and inevitably draw together
on certain lines. They have their lines
of occupations and social position, but
they want something larger and broader
than these, and no organization can
supply these bonds of union so well as
the Sons of Veterans, which has the
foundation principles of Fraternity,
Charity and Loyalty by inheritance.
No matter what a mans religious or
political views, no matter what his
wealth or lack of it, no matter whether
be is President of a railroad, or black
smith working in the shops, the domi-
nant pride of his life is that his father
fought for the Union, and be is pledged
to the same measure of devotion to main
tain the Government and all that con-
stitutes true Americanism. To men Of
such paternity Loyalty is not mere lip
service, but something ingrained in their
nature, and every son Of veteran feels
as sure of every other son of veteran
as he does Of himself

THE DAUGHTERS OF TIE REVOLUTION.
We give much Of our space this week
to the nrocaedinns of the Continental


We give much of our space this week
to the proceedings of the Continental
Congress of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, held in Washing
ton last week. AS a journal which
takes deep interest in everything re-
lating to Loyalty to our Government
and its institutions, it is very appropri-
ate that we should do this. The
Daughters of the American Revolution
is great Order, including thousands of
the foremost women in the country, and
in many ways its influence makes great
ly for good. 1t promotes the growth of
just pride in our National history,
! diffuses more accurate knowledge of it,
and strengthens Loyalty by freshening
the appreciation of what those Of pre-
vious generations have done in laying
the foundations of the Nation broad and
strong, and helping to build up the
magnificent political edifce which has
become the Temple of Freedom, Equal
Rights and Happiness for countless
millions.
The Congress was an eminently credi-
table gathering. Its members were
women of the highest character and
ability, and its proceedings were quite
worthy Of them. 1t was great event
in the history of the Order and the
country.
INAUGURATION OF COMRADE MKIN-
LEY.
In order to reach our subscribers in
the distant parts of the country the same
week, it is necessary that The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE go to press promptly at noon
on Tuesday. Therefore we cannot give
full details of the Inauguration of Com
rade Mckinley into the exalted office of
President of the United States, which
takes place on Thursday.
Next week, however, we shall give full
particulars, accompanied with illustra-
tons, which we are sure all our readers
will prize highly, because the account
will be complete, graphic and authentic,
while free from the mass of irrelevant
stuff that the readers of the daily papers
will have to wade through. This will
make The NATIONAL TRIBUNE valu-
able for preservation as a souvenir Of the
happy occasion which will close the long
night of depression that set in four years
ago, and open an era of prosperous
growth for the country and of justice
and fair treatment for the long-suffering
veterans.
Comrades, let us all rejoice together
over the bright future now dawning
upon U.s.
