ment of last year to visit its child, the
Soldiers Home. Listen to his mes
sage. II am mindful of the fact that
we are a great way off, and that the ex-
penditure will be greater to 20 there
than to some central city of the state.
We do not expect you every year. We
want this to be an occasion, an event in
the lives of the fathers and of the child
we have out there.
"We want you to come and see one
of the jewels, one of your own jewels,
and we want the Woman's Relief Corps
and the Sons of Veterans to come also.'
In obedience to this almost heavenly
message, and tho cordial invitation
from the citizens of this city and the
entire Black Hills commonwealth, we
are once more assembled for the duties
and pleasures of another Encampment.
We may fail from lack of time or
strength to take in all of the wonders
of this matchless region, but 1 implore
you, ono and all, to give at least one
full day to our comrades at the Home.
Let us surround them with such an
atmosphere of fraternal love, sympathy
and good cheer that this Encampment
shall prove not only a present pleas
ure but a lasting comfort to them.
MEMBERSHIP.
The report of the Adjutant General
shows that on Juno Both, 1898, the
membership in good standing of the
Grand Army of the Republic was 3O5,-
COB; a loss of 1858 since June 30, 1897.

our hearts, / regret that our success
has not been more marked during the
term. The new friendships formed,
as we'll as those renewed, during these
busy months in connection with my
official duties have strengthened my
belief that the comrades who stood be-
hind the guns in the sixties are, and Of
right ought to be, the uncrowned kings
of the country they saved. The old
vateran in blue need fear no rival ex.
cept the new veteran in blue.
A leading metropolitan daily pays
the following tribute to our boys on
the firing line: aBrave men to 6ght,
heroes to die, patriots to serve, may
we'll be inscrib ed on the regimental
colors of the First South Dakota
United States Volunteers" The charge
of these men at Marilao ranks with
any the regulars made at Santiago, IL,
indeed, it does not exceed any feat of
this war of soldierly achievement.
Their orders were forward" and tho
an unfavorable river lay in their front
and the further side was crowded with
intrenchments, behind which the flower
of Aguinaldo's army awaited them,
they hesitated only long enough to en-
sure the safety of rifles and cartridge
belts and then dashed onward, the
cheer of victory in their throats and
the light of battle in their eyes. This
was not case where someone had
blundered." It is doubtful whether
that brilliant charge could have been
stopped, though Otis himself had
ordered shalt" "When shall their
glory fade?"
And now, brothers, permit me to
thank you most sincerely for the dis.
tingnished honor and the, loyal sup.
port which you have givei\ me from

out the purposes for which this insti-
tuition has been created. The last
legislature made liberal appropriations
for much needed improvements at the
Home. 1t is unnecessary to say any
more than word on this subject, be-
lieving it better for you to improve this
opportunity to visit the home and be
your own Judge of its merits.
NATIONAL ENcAMpMENr.
The 33rd National Encampment was
largely attended and was Ea complete
success. South Dakota veterans. in
the grand parade, received. a perfect
ovation, as usual, from the right to the
left of the column. Our yellow banners
of corn and wheat were the most
"fetching" of any display in the line
of march, and were cheered to the echo.
This badge was a happy thought of
Comrade Hauser, and If it has not
already been done, should be adopted
by this Encampment as the official
marching ensign of the Department.
I would, in this connection, suggest
that it be named the South Dakota
Hauser rifle in honor of its inventor
and for its telling qualities. It's ap.
pearance at the head of the South
Dakota column has never yet failed to
bring forth spontaneous applause.
The 34th National Encampment will
be held in Philadelphia, the city of
brotherly love and the birthplace of
"Old Glory" From personal knowl-
edge can testify that every boy in
blue who marched through Philadel-
phia during the war of the Rebellion
was considered an honored guest, and
was treated in style that eclipsed the
feast of the fatted calf. Go to Phila-
delphia and you will never regret it.
CONCLUSION.
Comrades, I am about to pass along
the authority which yon SO generously
entrusted to me one year ago. For the
sake of the order which lis so dear to

defend and protect the flag in the days
to come, as we have done in the past.
The Sons of Veterans are our natur-
al successors, the reserve of the Grand
Army, and while we are marching down
the hill of life, these patriotic sons,
with sturdy strides, are gallantly push
ing for the summit to uphold the stars
and stripes planted there by their
fathers.
The Spanish War like the
War Of the Rebellion has tried mems
mettle. When the call for volunteers
came the Sons of Veterans stepped
promptly forth to fill the quota. Many
of them have risen rapidly in the ranks
AMI all have made a glorious record,
convincing us that when heroes are
needed in America, "today" always pro-
duces them, there is no necessity for
waiting until tomorrow"
REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
These reports contain valuable infor-
nation and deserve careful considera.
tion at the hands of this Encampment.
The intimate knowledge of the work.
ings of the Department gained by each
Staff Officer during his term of Office
enables him to make important sug.
gestions and recommendations for the
best good of our order. *'* feel
that I am alec greatly indebted to the
Post Commanders and all Comrades,
who have contributed so literally to
the success OF my administration.

been doing noble, patriotic work dur
ing the past year, under the leadership
of Mrs. Viblet Murphy, Dept. Presi-
dent.
Earnest and alive to the peculiar
needs of the hour, the Corps have re-
lieved our Posts by the direct and sub
stantial ways in which they have re-
membered our brave boys at the front.
Great interest has also been taken to
instruct our children along the lines
of patriotism and loyalty. Education
and liberty, Americas birthrights,
should go hand in hand, and the com.
ing generation be advised s'to join no
party that does not carry the flag and
keep step to the music of the Union.'
Many feeble Post has been kept
alive by the friendly hand and patriot
ic enthusiasm of the Woman's Relief
Corps; and today the Grand Army of
the Republic owes much of its strength
and glory to all loyal women of our
land.
They merit our grateful acknowl-
edgement and unbounded praise, and
there is no tribute too great for them,
since the bravest battle that ever was
fought was fought by the mothers of
men.

FINANCIAL CONDITION.
For full statement of the financial
condition of the Department, I refer
you to the report of the Assistant
Quartermaster General.
The income of the Department is de-
rived almost wholly from the per cap
ita dues, which based upon a membt r.
ship of about two thousand will yield
us only 5000 per year. The expenses Of
the administration of 1896 were ST.
254.6S, that of 1897 were s94O95, while
the present administration has ex-
pended ss95.1s. Unless our expenses
for the coming year can be still further
reduced, the Department will be con-
fronted with deficit.
This disaster can only be ave1ted by
an immediate return to our former tax
of 40 cents per member, which is but
315 cents per month for each comrade.
The experiment to which attention has
just been called has added to our in
dividual income for the past eighteen
months the muniflcent sum of SO of 1
cent each month, or 10 cents for each
year. Can this Department afford to
go into insolvency for such paltry
sum?

BRIEF SCIENCE NOTES.

The microphone is being utilized for the education of deaf mutes, and such persons can actually hear sounds pro- ceeding from the microphonograph and soon learn to utter them. It ap- pears to be an efficacious method, even with persons who have passe middle life.
 Recent observations among Indians show that in South America. as well as in North America, the red woman lives longer than the red man. But the av- craze duration of life is only IT years for both sexes in the south, and 22 per cent. of the Indians die during the first year of life.
 Recent investigations have shown that the principal source of the gulf stream is not the Florida channel, but the region between and beside the is lands of the West Indies.

THE LOAN COMMISSION.

A great deal of misrepresentation and se.f-laudation has been indulged in by some democratic papers over the al legged repeal of the loan commission and the passage of the act over the governors veto. We are informed that the governor and attorney general sim ply stated legal conditions, and pointed out the futiIity of such legislation, not for political or personal reasons, but in explanation of the expense and uselessness of loading the statute books with imperative laws The le- gal questions involved will be decided by the courts, and we venture the pre- diction that our mistaken friends will find that the loan commission has not been abolished
