HEADQUARTERS AT THE NATIONAL
ENCAArp1!ENT.

The Headquarters of The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE at the National Eneampment
at Buffalo will be at Room 154, Hotel
Iroquois, where we will be very glad to
meet all our old friends.
Subscribers can have their mail ad-
dressed there, and make appointments
to meet their old comrades at that room.

for this fact. The claimants averments
have absolutely nothing to do with
the matter. IF he was honorably dis
charged the records show it if not, the
case is dropped at once But the Loeb
ren crowd, scanning the application for
excuses to reject it, seized upon this
pretext, and so cut off the claimant from
the benefit of arrears from the date of
filing. This abuse has been stopped.

WE wait anxioualy the experience of
Canada in trying 20 collect that royalty
of 10 per cent. on all mines producing
less than $500 a year, and 20 per cent.
on all yielding more than that. In
adopting such regulations she is simply
flying in the face of all the worlds ex-
perience. So heavy a royalty will bring
herno revenue. twill simply corrupt her
own officials, and convert the miners into
community of smugglers and tax
evaders. Suppose man takes $4,000
out of mine. There is a premium of
$4,000 for him to beat the law, either
by bribing the officials who are to enforce
it, or to conceal his find, and slip it out
of the country. Canada is simply put
ting too heavy strain upon human
nature. Even the man who takes out
no more than $500 is not at all likely
to obey the law. He will feel that he
has not made much anyhow, and that
the $50 will fit great deal better in
his pocket than in the Dominion Treas
ury. Canada has not men enough in
the country to properly enforce such a
law

FRANCE says frankly that she does
not propose to attempt any Tariff war
with this country. She shows the good
sense which usually characterizes French
diplomacy. France is not in any shape
for such struggle. She is selling this
country good deal more than we sell
her, and selling things upon which she
makes big profits, while we make very
slim ones on what we sell her in return.
For example, French people take a
handful of straw, not costing so much
as one cent, and with skilled fingers
and tasteful minds fashion it into a
lady's hat, which they sell us, say, for
SO. There has been an actual crea-
ton of SO of wealth out Of next to
nothing, by the application of skilled
labor. A Kansas woman gives virtually
20 bushels Of wheat for the hat, which,
taking everything into consideration,
has cost her husband more than So to
produce. This is characteristic of most
of the trade of France with us. She
sells us high-priced goods, upon which
the profits are large, and most of the
expense of which goes into the pockets
of her skilled artisans, and is therefore
a direct gain to the country. On the
other hand, we sell her virtually raw
materials, upon which the profit is
small, and the sale of which diminishes
the resources of the country. For ex-
ample, every bushel Of wheat we sell
her takes a very appreciable quantity OF
fertility from our soil, which must in
time be replaced. Naturally, France
wants to keep ON very good business
terms with us.

No conception can be had of the in
terminable web of technicalities con.
structed by the Lochren crowd to beat
the veteran claimants for pensions.
There can be no satisfactory enumera-
ton of them. We get an idea from
time to time of their number and
yiciousness as they are brought to
notice and swept away by the new Ad-
ministration. One pettifogging device
of this kind is brought to light this week
by decision of Assistant Secretary
Davis abolishing it. 1t seems that an
unknown number Of cases we're rejected
On the ground that the claimants had
inadvertently neglected to aver that
they were honorably discharged. This
was most aggravating technicality, be-
cause the fact of claimants honorable
discharge is the first step taken by the
Bureau in the investigation of pension
claim. It refers at once to the records

a Predatory Grow

For several weeks the residents of o
neighboring town have been puzzled
to account for the disappearance OF
small articles, consisting of jewelry.
penholders, napkin rings and Other
trinkets, and the failure to apprehend
the thief On Friday, however, the
offender was accidentally caught il
the act. A gentleman who had beer
acquainted with the fact that the things
had been stolen was talking to 6
friend, when his attention was attract
ed to noise in his office, and on goine
to ascertain the cause was surprised te
see pet crow, belonging to Mr..
Blank, pick up gold pen and fly
from the window to the ground, with
the pen in his mouth.
The gentleman followed the crow,
which went to a shed back Of bakery,
and saw the bird deposit the pen un.
der an old box. He drove the crow
away, and, turning mp the box, found
all the articles that had been stolen
from the different houses The owner
of the crow was called, and he identi-
fed several trinkets that had been
taken from his room. Tie articles
were returned 10 their respective
owners. Kalamazoo Mich Tele
