much to his disappointment. Yet his
chagrin did not serve to abate his en-
thusIasm, for no man ever In the ranks
worked more faithfully to make II sue
coed than DIR. Stephenson.
The First Encampment.
The idea OF the founder of the army
was to incorporate every State In the
Union where a Federal veteran lived.
1t was TO be a grand army In fact as
we'll as In name. He did not rest with
the State organization, but went to
work vigorously to carry out his grand
scheme. Gen. Cook in the absence Of
Gen. Palmer named the department
staff and made DIR. Stephenson his adj
jutant general. Then in September Of
the year OF founding general order
was issued calling the first national en-
campment Nov. 20 in Indianapolis. Sew
enty posts and 22S representatives com
posed the first national body of the
Grand Army.
Gallant Stephen A. Hurlburt. whose
shoulders had borne the double star in
the volunteer army, was chosen to wear
the badge of the army, wherein was
spread the shoulder strap of major gen.
eral. He was elected to the office of
commander in chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic. The following officers
were elected: ]. b. Mexican of New
York, Senior Vice; Robert s. Foster, Of
Indiana, Junior Vice; b. H.. Stephenson,

order instituting this post and the
Grand Army Of the Republic was born.
Then district and post officers were
elected and new posts Instituted. The
second was created in Springfield. but
other cities and towns claimed the hon
or so that in few weeks the depart
ment Of Illinois had some twenty-elght
posts scattered about the State.
Commander Stephenson named Cap
tains Kanan and DunniAg as commit
tee TO prepare ritual, constitution and
bylaws. The order was made April
IS and the committee lost no time. for
the ritual was presented and accepted
on May by the department. The con-
stitution was presented and adopted
on May 10. The rules and ritual thus
adopted remained those OF the Grand
Army until notified by the national en-
campment in May, 1869. when the rit-
ual and rules that obtain today, with
such notifications as the lapse OF time
have called for. were adopted.
With nearly thirty posts in working
order and regulations approved by all
adopted, the provisional organization
was deemed to have served its purpose,
so representative gathering of the
army was called for July 10. 1t was
held In Springfield and the department
formally organized. Gen. John NJ.
Palmer was elected department com.
mandcr. with Gen. III. John Cook as
senior vice. The originator OF the army
was not chosen as head Of the organiza.

How the se.ste sl.s.as. Com Da,rs Wig

How the Senate Measure Com pares with
One Passed by the House.
The national Senate has passed the
money bill recommended by q committee
Of Republican Senators. The measure in
its general purpose is similar to the Dill
passed earlier IN the session by the
House. The most striking difference is
the refunding plan Of the Senate bill,
which was not a part Of the House meas
ure. The main aims Of both bills are to
establish the gold standard by law and
to prevent the utilization of the green
backs to drain the treasury of gold. Mr..
Chandler OF New Hampshire was the
only Republican Senator who voted
against the measure, and on the Demo
cratic side only Messrs. Lindsay of Ken
lucky and Caffrey OF Louisiana support
ed the passage of the measure. During
the months debate most OF the promi-
nent Senators have made their positions
plain.
There are differences between the SEN
ate and House bills which will require
the appointment of a conference commit
tee Of the two houses to perfect the meas
ure. The understanding is that the
House will accept most, if not all, the
changes made by the Senate, and that the
bill will become law in practically the
same shape as 1t passed the Senate.
The House bill provides for a reserve
fund, the holding of an amount Of gold
coin and bullion equal to % per cent Of
the amount both of United States and
treasury notes issued under the act Of
1890 outstanding. The Senate bill makes
the reserve $150,000,000 in gold coin. The
Senate also changed the sections relating
to banks, bonds and funding and added q
new section declaring that it was not the
purpose of the act to place any obstacles
in the way Of the accomplishment of in
ternational bimetallism.
The chief provisions of the Senate
financial bill are:
That the dollar, consisting of 25.8
grains. Of gold, nine-tenths fine, shall con-
tinue to be the standard unit of value.
That the Secretary of the Treasury
shall set apart a reserve fund Of $780,
600, 900 in gold coin for redemption pur-
poses only.
That the Secretary of the Treasury
shall refund outstanding bonds and issue
in exchange coupon or registered bonds
at per cent per annum, payable quar-
terly.
That as fast as silver dollars shall be
coined an equal amount Of treasury notes
shall be retired and Cancelled, and silver
certificates shall be issued against the sill
yer dollars.
That the Secretary Of the Treasury
shall receive deposits of gold coin and
issue gold certificates therefor.
That no treasury notes shall be issued
of denominations less than SO and no sill
YER certificates of higher denomination
than $40.
That national banks depositing bonds
shall be entitled to receive circulating
notes of equal value.
That banks shall pay to the Treasurer
of the United States in January and July
a tax of one-fourth of 1 per cent on cir
culating notes.

His Character.

The old hiring fairs are still held In
some rural districts of England. There
is a story of an old Worcestershire
farmer, who, seeming a likely lad at
such place, opened negotiations with
view to engaging him.
Hast got character from thy last
placer the farmer asked.
NO." replied the boy; but my old
gaffer DO about somewhere, and / can

Very WELL" was the reply. "Thee

The farmer ard the boy met at the
appointed hour.

query.

Its Struggles and Success.
In the early years, in common with all
fraternal organizations, the Grand
Army of the Republic struggled for
life. But with over 100000 volunteers
to draw from it was merely a question
of time when no city in the land would
be large enough to handle all If all
should meet at any national encamp-
ment. When the high mark was
reached the army comprised about so
per cent. Of all the survivors of the war
eligible to membership. Losses from
various causes kept pace with gains for
ten years. Then gains exceeded losses
| 10 al Pal
menced to pass away with startling
speed.
| The Grand Army commenced to grow
rapidly early in the '70s. BY the close
of the decade departments had sprung
up all over the land. The membership
was equal 10 any single army CON-
manded by any general but Grant dur
ing the war. In 1890 the muster rolls
showed 409.TS1 members. Last year
but 1881 veterans admitted adher-
ence to the regulations. The losses from
death are on the increase. Losses by
honorable discharge are not as heavy as
those by the final discharge.
| Chicago must prepare to entertain
100000 guests during the last four
days of August. For the first time In
| a genera ton the national encampment
OF the Grand Army of the Republic is
| TO be held in the city by the lake, and
preparations are already under way to
make the occasion outshlne any ma
tlonal gathering ever held by that great
organization.
Approximately 100000 veterans Of
the war are still alive out of the 2,225-
600 recruits enlisted In that great strug-
! GLE" said Secretary Z. A. Bigelow, os
the Executive Committee. having the
management Of the encampment In
charge. "Of that number 1t is estimated
from the rosters of the various divs-
ions Of the G.. A. r. that 100000 reside
in. the territory west Of the Alleghanies,
north of the Ohio River and east OF the
Mlssouri-that is, In the territory di-
rectly tributary to Chicago. They will
come to this encampment-men who
did not go to Philadelphia or Cincln-

HAWAII TO BE A TERRITORY.
The Government Will BE Similar to
That of Arizona.

The Government Will Be Similar to
That of Arizona.
According to the bill introduced in Con-
gress by Representative Knox of Massa-
chusetts. the Hawaiian Islands are to be
organized as a territory on an equal foot
ing with Arizona and the other terrific
ries of the Union. There will be for the
islands q governor, Il secretary, both APP
pointed by the President; q treasurer,
attorney general, commissioner OF pubic
lands. commissioner of agriculture ana
forestry. superintendent Of public works,
superintendent OF public instruction, audi
tor and deputy auditor, surveyor and high
sheriff. appointed by the governor. The
Legislature is to consist Of a Senate and
House of Representatives, elected by inc
people. The territory is to be represent
ed by delegate in Congress and is made
n judicial district of the United States,
with district court. The judicial pow
err Of the territory is vested in q supreme
court and in superior courts, to be estab-
lished by the Legislature. The constitu-
ton and laws OF the United States locally
applicable are extended over the new ter
ritory, and the laws Of Hawaii not in
consistent with the constitution and laws
of the United States are continued in
force.
Congressman Knox in his report accom-
panying the bill discusses the population
of the islands and says that of the 109,-
O20 inhabitants in 1896, 81 ,O19 were Ha-
waiians, S,435 part Hawaiians, 3,O06
Americans, $3.50 British. l, 432 Germans,
101 French, 37S Norwegians, 1871 Por-
tuguese, 24,407 Japanese, 21.616 Chinese
and 1866 of other nationalities. The
present population is placed ut 10000.
with the passage of this bill" continues
the report, 1.-THE Chinese will be excluded
and the importation of japanese contract
laborers will be prohibited. The free
school, free church, free press and man
hood suffrage have marked their progress,
and all the younger Hawaiians speak,
read and write the English language. But
perhaps the chief consideration as to the
fitness of the Hawaiian people for a terri
toral government is that the dominant
class in the Islands, both in politics and
business, is American"
All persons who were subjects under
the monarchy and all who became citi-
zens of the republic shall be citizens Of
the territory. Biennial sessions of the
Legislature are provided. The governor
is to be a citizen of the territory.
