khJ..GEN. JOHN POPE'S
Articles TO Begin Next Week.

We shall begin the publication next
week of some long-promised and very
interesting articles by the late Ma. Gen.
John Pope. They are charming and
vividly interesting stories of bis explora-
tons when young officer of Engineers
of the country now embraced in the
States Of Minnesota and North and
South Dakota, and on the "Old Santa
Fe Trail from St. Louis to Santa Fe.
As all our readers know, Gen. Pope was
a most entertaining writer, as we'll as a
distinguished soldier, and bis accounts
Of those countries as he then found them
make a very interesting contrast with
their present civilization and progress.

and begged them to get up and ride, but the
team moved too slow for the impatient boys,
and they forged on ahead A thousand we'll
remembered objects along the road would
have arrested Sis attention were it not for
the supreme interest farther on. At last
they came to the little rise of ground which
commanded a view of the house. and there,
as ST predicted, sat his father and mother en-
gagged in smoking, reading and knitting.
His first impulse was to yell with delight,
but he restrained himself, and walked as
steadily OF as he could to the front gate.
Old Towser set up bark and ran down the
walk, and then changed his note to delighted
yelps of recognition. ST was so nervous that
be fumbled vainly for minute at the gate
latch, and while be did so heard his mother
say:
Father, there's a couple o. soldiers out
there"

pany," said the father, lowering his paper,
and looking over his spectacles
''Why, it's ST HIMSELF" screamed the
mother in joyful accents. The next instant
she had sped down the walk quicker than
she bad ever gone in her girlhood days, her
arms were about his neck and she was crying
on his shoulder.

SOME Of the papers are figuring ex-
tensively Oh what we could do in the
way Of ships, Notifications and guns if
it "were not for the burden Of pension
expenditure" There are some other
items of National expenditures that
might be just as proftably inquired
into with reference to their abolition.
For example, we paid last year $751;
791, ITO interest on the public debt.
This was sufficient to have built and
entirely equipped nine such magnificent
battleships as the Maine was In 10
years this would give us the most
magnificent navy in the world, just by
swindling few thousand rich men out
Of a portion of their income. Not one
Of them needs the interest that he re-
ceives a thousandth part as sorely as
the pensioner does the little S11 a month

They are not at least any more entitled to
their interest than the men who wrecked
themselves in saving the country are to
their pensions. The crime Of defraud-
ing them would not be so fragrant as
that of robbing the pensioners of their
rights. If we are going to begin a
career of National dishonor, let us COM
mence with the bondholders.

SHORTY KNOCKED HIM DOWN"
shouldered his gun, paced mp and down,
watching with watering mouth the rest lux
uriating in hot supper with fragrant coffee
and appetizing viands, to which his mouth
had been a stranger for many long months.
1t cost severe struggle, but he triumphed.
81, in his own hungry eagerness, had not
missed him, until his own appetite began to be
appeased by the vigorous onslaught he made
on the eatables Then he looked around for
his partner, and was horri6ed not to find
him by his side.
Where's Shorty?" he anxiously in
quired.
Each looked at the other in surprise, and
asked
Why, amt he here?"
No, confound it, he aiut here" said ST,
excitedly springing to his feet; he has been
knocked down and robbed"
81 bolted out, followed by the rest. They
saw Shorty marching up and down as a
sentinel sternly military, and holding his
Springfield as rigidly correct as if in front
Of the Colonel's quarters.

Why don't you come in to support" called
out ST. It's mighty good square meal

rare fits Of considering himself a martyr.

THE SPANISH REPLY.

The Spaniards have returned fat
refusal to our proposition to take over
the whole of the Philippines
This was not unexpected at the State
Department, and causes no uneasiness.
1t was anticipated that Spain would do
just that way. 1t is the card that
diplomacy would naturally play, and
particularly Spanish diplomacy. But
it fails utterly of effect, because every
one sees that Spain is not insane enough
to threaten TO break off negotiations,
and renew the war. To invite in the
faintest way the resumption of hostili-
ties would mean still harder terms.
To so much as give the President reason
for ordering the concentration of our
ships, and the resumption Of recruiting
would mean the loss of the Philippines
without any sort Of compensation, also
of the Caparies and other islands, and
deal the gravest blow at the languishing
commerce and business of the kingdom.
The Spaniards, therefore, while re-
fusing to accede to our proposition, have
let it be understood that they will part
with the islands for sufficient compensa-
ton. They have, as usual, talked
about an appeal to Europe, and arbi-
tration. The German and French press
are growing savagely over the matter,
and the Russian papers, acting under
official instructions, are limiting at arbi-
trat'on, and a discussion of the matter
by the Powers
The English papers, on the other
hand, applaud our determination to take
the whole group.
The outcome will be that there will
be no arbitration and no protest by any
Of the Powers. The Americans have
from the first set themselve. sternly
against any interference from outside
parties, and these are much less inclined
TO put their fingers in than at first.
Each Of them knows that we would
receive protest with very bad grace,
and consequently it will not be made.
We shall probably follow our National
precedents, and in the end make Spain
some monetary allowance for the loss Of
the Philippines. We did this with Mex
leo in 1913, and we also paid Spain
s20,000,000 for the loss of !" the Flor
idas. How much this will be will be
the subject of much haggIing by the
Commissioners. The Spaniards insist
that We have received full indemnity
for all our trouble and expense in the
cession Of Porto Rico and Cuba.
The English papers laugh at the idea
OF our paying anything to the Spaniards
to salve their sores.

SONS OF VETERANS.

1
Now let us have the Winter file
with Jealous, well-concerted work i
, building up the Sons of Veterans. n
Order in the country has finer possibil
ties than this splendid organization, an
it rests with the Sons themselves whethe
these possibilities will be made the mos
of.
The Spanish war has added immensel.
to the prestige of the Sons of Veterans
! Everywhere they were the foremost t.
respond TO the Governments call, ant
everywhere they showed themselves tru'
sons of their brave, patriotic fathers
They made the best kind of soldiers ano
officers. In some instances Camps o.
Sons of Veterans went into the army
bodily. They were in large numbers in
every company raised, and wherever
found they were sure to be remarked fol
their soldierly spirit. In one historic
regiment all the higher officers resigned
or were removed, until they came down
to the junior Major, who was Com
mander-in- Chief of the Sons of Veterans.
He took command of the regiment and
led it most creditably through the Porto
Rico campaign. Whenever any officer
distinguished himself the chances were
very strong that he would be found to
be son of veteran, and had inherited
his soldierly instincts.
These facts will tell to the advantage
of the organization of the Sons of Vet
Grams. The men who fought the battles
of the Union were the flower of the
manhood of the country. AS a rule
they married the sisters of their COM
rades-girls with whom their comrade-
ship made them acquainted. If there
is anything in blood and heredity-and
science assures us there is-then the
sons of veterans have received from both
sides the best strains there are in the
Nation. They naturally form class
of themselves, and a class from which
the country can expect everything in
the way of the highest aspiration and
action for its advancement.
Let us, therefore, make every effort to
get the sons of veterans together in every
Township, Village, Town and City in the
country. Let them organize on the
broad basis of the Sons of Veterans,
and while maintaining its principles
they may pursue any other object or
purpose for which young men may desire
to associate themselves. 1t may be a
social club in one place, reading circle
in another, mutual insurance in third,
a farmers club in a fourth, a military
in fifth, labor union in
sixth, and so on indefinitely. Let them
get together as Sons of Veterans in every
thing, and feel that a man who is son
of veteran is little more to them
than any other man. In this way they
can become an inestimable power for
good for the whole country, and also
benefit themselves beyond estimate.
The NATIONAL TRIBUNE will be
glad to hear from Sons of Veterans
everywhere as to the progress they are
