What Veterans Are Doing for the
Good of the Order.

| A. T. Kccb!e. Co. G, 25th H., Kankakee
| ILL.,, writes: at has long been a question
| to me how to maintain and perpetuate the
Grand Army so long as it's Constitution
and BYLAWS restrict its membership tc
| those who served in the army and navy
| in the years of 81 to '65. / have thought
often that all Observation-Disclosures sol
| dierS should be eligible; now we have an
opportunity, and / hope the National En-
campment will see the advantage of max
ing the change. First, it would add
young men to the Order, thereby prolOng-
ing its existence and enlarging its use
| fulneSS; second, it would do honor and
! render Justice to our brave boys who have
left their homes and friends to do battle
for the principles of personal liberty; and
third, it would unite the young men Of
| North and South in one society and fol
one country and one flag.
II have heard but one argument against
| this proposition, that is, the old veterans
would have to take a back seat,-and that
argument is used by the narrow minded
only. 1t seems as though men who stand
for the principles which the Grand Army
| advocate ought to be above and beyond
such selfish sentiments. 1t will only be
few short years until we will be too old
and too few in numbers to even transact
the business of the Order, and our in

that Admiral Dewey and his brave men
in Manila Bay performed wonders in that
battle by the entire destruction of the

side; that Admiral Sampson and Commo-
dore Schley are entitled to equal praise,

paid in pension to the rebels, and the
Union veterans are assessed their full

Prince Potemkin with whom was CLOSELY
associated,sJohn Paul jones during the
latter service in Russia, was born in
Smolenss, Russia, in 1898 or 1879. He
early found, favor in the eyes Catharine
H., the Empress, and by his influence over
her became, it is said, almost practically
the ruler Of the Empire. 1t was mainly
under his influence that Turkey was
crippled. He conquered the Crimea and
the kuban territory, restored the ancient
names of Taurida and Caucasus, and be-
came Governor of the new possessions
and the Empress presented him with a
palace at St. Petersburg built especially
for him. In the war with Turkey he was
Commander in-Chief. After numerous vic
tories Potemkin thought the time had come
for taking Constantinople, but the Russian
excheGuer was exhausted, and while he
went to st. Petersburg to urge the con-
tinuation of the war, Catharine concluded
an armistice with the Turks The EN-
press had loaded Potemkin with honors
and riches. and when he died, in 1871, he
left al immense fortune.

JONES'S DEATH ON THE THRESHOLD
OF HIS GREATEST AMBITION-HIs
PROBABLE POSITION AS ADMIRAL
OF THE FRENCH NAVY-THf
FRENCH FLEET UNDER HIS COM
MAND VERSUS THE ENGLISH FLEET
Paul Jones died at the very threshold o.
his grandest ambition-to lead the french
Navy on to new victories and new con
quests in the name of universal liberty
far greater and more far-reaching than
those his limited means had enabled him
TO achieve in the cause of American
independence. Had he recovered his
health and lived a few years longer, there
is not the shadow of doubt that the group
of men who then ruled France, and who
had accepted without the slightest re-
served thought his declaration of faith
and fealty TO the Republic and the revo-
luton at Barere'S supper, would within a
fortnight from the assembling OF the Con
vention have made him the Chief Adj
miTal of the French Navy while yet it was
intact, before il had been devastated by
the theories of st. Andre or crippled by
English cannon
Improbable as it may be to speculate
as To what Impress such a contamination
might have made on the face of history, it
is yet profoundly interesting.
AT the end of 1892 Paul Jones, though
nomlnally citizen and an officer OF the
United States, and holding the commits
sion of Nlce-Admiral in the Russian Navy
was TO all practical intents and purposes
q Frenchman.
Perhaps at that time no man in France
knew the possibilities and the short
comlngS, the merits and the faults of the
French naval system so by heart as he
knew them; and certainly no man living
had so clear an idea of what was needed
IN administration to make ii perfect.
Beyond all his equipment and attain
ments, his name and fame gave him
hold on the confidence of the French
public that no Admiral of their own race
could even remotely approach.
They saw in him no less an idol OF
herolSm on the sea than Latour d.
Auvergne on the land.
with even his advantages, it may be
doubted whether Jones, at the head of the
french Navy, could have wholly averted
the destruction of its discipline and the
perversIon Of its morale by the Jacobin
practices Inaugurated early in 1893 That
he would have resisted them to the
utmost is certain; that he would have

ing; THAT If at any time he might have

decree calculated TO iniure or demoralize
the force under his command he would

anyone; because, in emergency his dis
regard OF the guillotine OF the Terror
would have been as contemptuous as his
defiance of English cannon. And in
such disregard he would have had to start
with what no French Admiral could COM
mand, the enthusiastic admiration and
confidence Of the populace and a majority

Proceedings of Interest

Madison, Sept, u.
In an opinion handed down Tues
day, the supreme court sustained the
act of the city clerk OF Milwaukee in
refusing To place the name Of can
didato i'll two different places on the
official ballot.
Carl Runge was nominated for city
attorney in Milwaukee last spring by
the democratic city convention, At a
later date he was also nominated for
the same Office by the peoples party.
and he demanded that his name be
placed under both parties on the Of
fetal ballot. The city clerk refused,
Mr.. Runge then secured an alternative
court requiring the city clerk To show
cause why he should not do SO. When
the case came up for argument the
court quashed the writ, and refused
the order sought by Mr., Runge. The
latter then appealed To the supreme
court. This decision means that {, +.

The court reversed the decision of
the superior court of Milwaukee coun-
ty in the case of Henry II. Rice
against the city of Milwaukee and or
dered an injunction to issue restrain
ing the further issue of bonds by the
city. The decision rests on the
ground that the city has already en-
eeeded the constitutional limit of
bonded indebtedness. The case was
brought by Henry II. Rice, a taxpayer,
to enjoin the issue of garbage plant
bonds on the ground that the city had
already exceeded the constitutional
bond limit The city opposed the ap-
plication for an injunction, claiming
chat the bonded Indebtedness was
within the limit, and the superior
court held with the city. whereupon
Rice appealed to the supreme court.
The decision affects the proposed Is
sues of garbage bonds, bridge bonds
and sewer bonds, amounting to
100000.
The court declared the plumbers
license law invalid by sustaining the
lower courts ruling TO that effect. The
case was brought by Jacob Winkler
against the board of public works OF
Milwaukee.
