destroyed almost the entire city of Chandler,
Okla. on March 30. or course, the members OF
our Order are among those who had their prop

little they did possess. About year ago the
Woman's Relief Corps of that city bought a
building, which they kindly donated to the G..
AR, as hall, and which was all paid for ex-
cept $40. That hall is o total wreck, and so it
has been suggested that We ask the members
of our Order to donate to Chandler Corps a
small SUM from each member or Post, to aid
the noble Order of W.R.C of that stricken
city to rebuild their hall.
Remember, comrades, that if you but contrib
ute a dime to this worthy cause of charity,
you are doing duty of friendship. and show

loyalty for which we as an Order feel pledged.

Gen. Clarkson's Call Upon Pa
triots to Observe Memorial
Day-Visit to Buffalo.

Commander-in-Ch Chief T. g. Clarkson makes Of
his General Orders, No. 6. an eloquent appeal
for magnificent observance of Memorial Day.
He says:
1.-THE Nations Sabbath Day-that day upon
which patriotic people gather together every
where to do honor to their sacred dead-is again
upon us. Let US, as is most fitting, unite in max
ing the solemn services of Memorial Day as im-
pressive as possible by appropriate exercises,
and by strewing beautiful flowers upon the
graves of our comrades, and 30 show to the
world that as citizens we appreciate their great
sacrifices for their country, and - comrades
we revere their memories; and to the rising
generation that he who dies for his country
dies nobly. In the words of the lamented
Logan: II other eyes grow dull, and other
hands slack, and other hearts cold, in the solemn
trust, ours shall keep it as long as the light
and warmth Of life remains to u.s.
"Let us invite to our assistance in this pa
triotic work that noble band of workers, the
Woman's Relief Corps, who have done so much
toward the success of our great organization,
and also the Sons of Veterans, who aust soon
take up the work which the ravsges of time
shall compel us to lay down.
In the interest of patriotic instruction to
the children it is earnestly hoped that the
laudable work Of talking to the children of the
Public Schools on the subjects and lessons of
Memorial Day by Veteran, now so general
throughout the Order will be observed this
year and hereafter in every Public School.
Let every Post, in accordance with usual
custom, attend divine services in some church.
in body, on the Sunday before Memorial Day.
The 30th of May falling this year on Sunday.
Memorial Day will be observed according to
the Rules and Regulations on the preceding
day, except in such States as by law or custom
observe the succeeding day.
Comrades, as we grow older let US be more
particular in the observance of this sacred day.
and let us discourage the holding of games and
frivolous amusements thereon by thoughtless
people in every possible way.
By resolution, the Both National Encamp-
ment recommended that the reading of Lin
coins Gettysburg address be made special
feature Of Memorial Day exercises held under
the auspices of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lic."

Political Notes

1t is asserted that Mr.. Cleveland desires to Be
Governor of New Jersey, and if the signs are
right will come out openly for the Democratic
nomination.
The Senatorial contest in Kentucky came to
an end April % by the election of State Senator
VIM. J. Deboe, of Crittenden County, a straight
Republican, ON the 112th ballot. He received
II votes to so for Blackburn, Is for Martin,
and 1 for Stone. The contest was close and
exciting to the very end and the suspense was
maintained until the 6Sth vote was passed,
which insured his election. Ex-senator Black
burn Immediately opened his campaign for the
succession to Senator Lindsay, whose term ex-
pires in 1901.
The election of Deboe makes the membership
of the Senate SO, divided politically into AZ
Republicans, 80 Democrats. and IL Populists
and Silver Republicans. With Senator Kyle
and the Vice-Prssident the Republicans now
have majority of one vote; but it is felt thaa
any attempt to take advantage of this would
force an immediate election Of Senator in
Florida, when the Senate would stand che SAVE
"a before Deboe's election.
