A FREE TICKET
TO THE
National Eneampment.
BuFFHLo, n. Y, HUG. %, 1897.

For the past five years The Ma
T1oNAL TRIBUNE has been exceedingly
helpful to those desiring to attend Ma
tional Encampments and other great
gatherings by enabling them to easily
secure the necessary railroad ticketa
We propose to repeat this great serv-
ice to them this year, with reference to
the GAR National .Encampment Is
Buffalo, N. Y, next August
Beyond doubt this will be the great
est National Encampment of the GAR
since 1892. Buffalo is lovely city, full
of attractions, with Niagara Falls and
other places of great interest immedi.
ately around it. The citizens are max
ing extraordinary preparations to enter
tain the veterans, and the city ID most
favorably situated for meeting-place Of
an immense number of the Eastern and
Western comrades Everybody wants .
go.
We will give first-class round-trip
ticket to Buffalo and return from any
point in the United States for club Of
subscribers to The NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
These clubs will be proportioned to
the distance of the place from Buffalo,
but we will make liberal arrangements
In regard to them
They can be very easily raised. TH1
NATIONAL TRIBUNE has been greatly
improved, and is by long odds the most
attractive and interesting paper in the
country. 1t requires little effort to So
cure subscribers for it.
This is splendid opportunity. Com
rades can readily provide their own
tickets in this way. Sons and daughters
of veterans can make their fathers an
agreeable present, which will enable him
to meet his dearly loved comrades.
Posts by raising club may furnish
transportation to some of their members

The result of all this effort was the discom-
future of the party in power. Mr.. Van
Buren, received only 60 electoral votes, while
Cen Harrison had 234 We have limited ut
some of the extrayagancies Of Van Buren's
Administration, and the refurnishing of the
White House. 1t was said by old chroniclers
that /" Gen. jackson filled the palace with the
Vulgar fumes Of smoke from an old long pipe.
Mr.. Van Buren,, at an expense of $1,000,
cleaned the apartments, whitewashed the
smoky ceilings and filed it with preciseness
and cold pedantry; that Gen. Harrison would
change the vnlgarity Of the one and the pre-
tensions OF the other. He would make those
gorgeous halls reverberate with merry peals
Of laughter, refined repartee, excruciating
anecdotes and good cheer"

it, he viii sit the remainder Of his days in

This was word spoken in an evil hour 1t

At the ever-memorable mass-meeting held in
Canton, May 5, at which 10000 people were
present, there was procession representing
every State, with log cabins mounted On
trucks, accompanied by barrels of hard cider,
nom which everybody was welcome to drink.

From that time until the election in Novem-

highest pitch of excitement and enthusiasm
by mass meetings, barbecues, log cabins, hard

A topical song, sung in New York, we re-

"Ohl if this State should go for Tip,
Oh what would Matty do?
He'd rent his houst in Washington,

of the local administration, the quality
and degree of the elective franchise of the
inhabitants, the extension of the federal
laws to the territory or the enactment of
special laws to fit the peculiar condition
thereof, the regulation if need be of the
labor system therein, are all matters
which the treaty has wisely delegated to
the congress.
If the treaty is confirmed, as every con-
sideration of dignity and honor requires,
the wisdom of congress will see to it
that, avoiding abrupt assimilation of ele-
ments perhaps hardly yet fitted to share
in the highest franchises of citizenship,
and having due regard to the geographi-
cal conditions, the most just provlSlo ms
for self-rule in local matters with he
largest political liberties as an integral
part of our nation, will be accorded to the
Hawaiians. No less is due to people
who, after nearly five years of demon
strated capacity, fulfill the obligations OF
elf-governing statehood, come OF their
free will to merge their destinies in our
body polite.
The questions which have arisen be-
tween Japan and Hawaii by reason of
the treatment of the Japanese laborers
emigrating to the islands under the Ha-
waiian-Jap convention OF 1888, are IN
a satisfactory stage of settlement by nego-
tiation. This government has not been
invited to mediate, and on the other hand
has sought no intervention in that mat
ter, further than to evince its kindliest
disposition toward such a speedy and di-
rect adjustment By the two sovereign
states in interest as shall comport with
equity and honor. 1t is gratifying to learn
that the apprehension at first displayed
on the part of Japan lest the cessation of
Hawaiis national life through annexis-
ton might impair privileges to which
Japan Il ,norabls laid claim. have .ssen
