THE PROGRAM OF THE NATIONAL
ENCAMPMENT.

The program prepared for the SD
National Encampment of the Grand
Army Of the Republic at Philadelphia
is the work of comrades of unusual ex-
perience with National Encampments,
and is the result of much anxious
thought to avoid the defects of previous
gatherings Of the kind, and to secure
absolutely the best results.
First, it restores the parade to Tues
day, which is good deviation from the
practice Of later years of having it on
Wednesday, which crowds the business
of the National Encampment into the
later days of the week, and deprives it
of proper deliberation, on account of the
desire of its members to reach home
Sunday. This result is still farther pro-
noted by having the opening exercises
at large hall on Tuesday evening"
where everybody can attend, and by
which the docket can be cleared for the
transaction of business Wednesday
morning Heretofore, whole half
day of the business time left to
the National Encampment has been
taken up by listening to the well
coming speeches of the Governor and
the Mayor, and the Chairman of the
Citizens Committee, and the replies to
them by the COMMANDMENTS Chief At
Philadelphia this will be done at an
evening session, in the presence of a
greater concourse than has ever before
been able to be present, and citizens as
we'll as comrades will be able to be
present. And it will avoid the awk-
ward necessity Of Immediately turning
our hosts out of the hall, in order to
convene the Encampment for business.
The Encampment will thus have the
whole Of Wednesday and Thursday for
its legitimate business, which can be
thus transacted with proper considera-
ton. In the meanwhile Reunions can
be going on, and the interest in the atten-
dance will be maintained by the ex-
cursions and other features of entertain
ment which will take place on Friday.
The program ought to give unusual
satisfaction, and it PROFESSIONALLY will.

The PHILIPPINE WAR,
Late Events of the Fighting with tn
Insurgents.

Late Events of the Fighting with the
Insurgents.
The most important event Of the past
week in the Orient was the capture of Iloilo,
Feb. H. Gen. Otis sent Gen. Miller there
several days before. The War Departments
on Feb. Is received dispatch from Gen.
Otis stating:
'sGen. Miller reports from Iloilo that the
town was taken on the 18th instant and held
by our troops. Insurgents given until even
ing of 18th to surrender, but their hostile
action brought on engagement during the
morning. The insurgents fired the native
portion of town, but with little loss to
the property of foreign inhabitants. No
casualties to any of the United States forces
reported"
The news of the capture of Iloilo was
brought by the gunboas Petrol. As soon as
his orders to take the town arrived Gen.
Miller, in command of the forces sent to oc-
cupy Iloilo, sent his representatives ashore
with an ultimatum to the Philippine COM
mander, commanding him to surrender, and
warning him of the consequences Of re-
fusal
The rebels ignored the demand and sent
their artillerists to their guns A signal was
thereupon sent from Gen. Miller's Head
QudI tCiS " Opcu OA tAC CuCuiy. AAO Il OtAOA
fired the first Shots all the rebel batteries
responding. The cruiser Baltimore joined
the Petrol, throwing some big shells into
the enemy's works, scattering the rebel gun
ners, and, it is believed, killing many.
The fire from the Petrol and Baltimore
was so heavy and rapid that it soon sileneed
the rebels, who were soon in full retreat.
The women and children had departed long
before in anticipation of hostilities, and hence
the town was found deserted when our troops
and marines were landed.
The steamer Butuan, from Iloilo to Manila,
brought the news of the capture of Jaro.
which was an insurgent stronghold, by a
battalion of the 18th Inf, under Maj. Charles
Keller, and detachment of the 9th Art,
with two Hotchkiss guns and a Calling gun,
under Lieut. Ostseim.
The Filipinos are still active, and several
skirmishes have taken place around Manila.
1t Is rumored that the Filipinos are In
sore straits in the interior, and are now
quarreling among themselves 1t is impos-
sibe to confirm this, as all communication
with the interior is cut of.

CONGRESS is receiving many petitions
asking for a Constitutional Amend
ment providing that Senators shall be
elected by a direct vote of the people.
As We have said many times before, a
Constitutional Amendment i. very
uncertain and roundabout method OF
reaching such a result. 1t will take
years Of insistent agitation to get such a
measure through. Much the better
way is for those who favor it to con-
centrate their energies upon making it
the unwritten law of their several
States If they have strength enough
to get a Constitutional Amendment
through, they can do this much quicker
and easier. Let them insist that when
there is Senatorial vacancy to be
filled the candidates shall come before
the people at general election, and
the Legislature be bound to elect the
one receiving majority of the votes.
This method of establishing an un-
written law has worked splendidly in
the matter of Presidential Electors, and
could be made no less effective with re-
gard to Senators.

SOLDIERS MONUMENT AT WASHING

The work of soliciting contributions
for monument to the soldiers and
sailors Of the war Of the rebellion at
Washington, ID. C., has now begun. 1t
is hoped and expected that every Post

Veterans and every one of the woman's
auxiliary organizations will take an
active interest in the matter, raising
money not only within but still more
outside of their organizations. Every
veteran and every relative of the vet
grams should be represented in this grand
monument by contribution, no matter
how small. 1t should be the finest thing
of the kind ever raised in any country
1t will be if all those interested do their
part Contributions should be sent to

DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT Oh
FRANCE

fran
The death of any Chief Executive in
the midst of his term is always an event
of profound Importance, but the unex-
pected demise of President Faure is one
of unusual gravity. France is now in a
turmoil which seriously endangers the
continuance of the Republic. Had M.
Faure lived he might and probably
would have been compelled to resign,
but the Republicans would have been
prepared for that event, and taken steps
to provide for his successor and the per-
petuation of the present form OF Govern
ment. The main hope now is that M.
Faure's death has taken their enemies
equally unawares, and that their plots
are even more unripe for execution than
the plans of the Republicans.
President Faure was not by any
means great man. He had come up
from the working classes, but he seemed
to entirely lack the qualities which we
expect men of that extraction to de-
velop when raised to high position. He
lost touch with the people, he had no
comprehension of the great aspirations
which thrilled them, as Lincoln, Grant,
Garfield, and such American leaders
had. He was more of the type of the
small, "smart shopkeeper, who hap
pens to strike the right combination,
becomes very wealthy, and thereafter
wants to pose as giant of finance and
born aristocrat. Faure was intoxica-
ted with his elevation, and association
with the rulers Of Europe gave him the
hallucination that he was a very great
man. All the time he was farther and
farther from comprehending the prob
lens of his own Government, and work
ing them out to the best solution for the
people of France. He pleased nobody,
built up no party, or even adherents,
and formulated no policy that would
promise benefit to his country. In this
way he was weakness to French Re-
publicanism, because he seemed con-
spicuous example proving the charge
that man Of the people IS incapable
of becoming competent ruler.
The Republic has weathered many
storms, however, and it may weather
this. Its greatest advantage is that all
of its enemies have shown themselves
much worse than it is. The Republic
will have to be very much worse than
it has ever been, before the people will
willingly return to such regime as
that of The Empire, the Constitutional
Monarchy, or the Absolute Monarchy.

said, handing the paper to the Deacon, "and
