THE TEXAS SUFFERERS.

We are in receipt of the following com
munication from the Commander of the
Department of Texas, G. A. r.:
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Again in
behalf of the Department of Texas |
gratefully acknowledge the receipt of your
check for $1,000 additional contribution
for the relief of distressed Grand Army
comrades and their families in the coast
country.
We are disbursing the money about as
fast as it comes in, and have made quite
start in relieving the distressed. Have
done nothing as yet towards helping them
rebuild their wrecked homes, our efforts
being mostly in the direction of food and
clothing for the families. Our relief work
will probably extend over period of four
months, provided always that the gener-
ous impulses of the Grand Army at large
continue to work in our behalf.
Yours in F., c.. and L.
CHAs. i. PECK,
Department Commander.

Adjutant- General of the State since 1867,

The National tribune., 1900-11-01

CONGRESS is made up-anew every two
years, fresh from the people, and it has
the most absolute power over the Army
in every way. This is something won for
English-speaking peoples 80 years ago
in the war in which Charles |. lost his
head. 1t has ever since been one of the
most jealously guarded prerogatives of
Parliament and Congress. A man who
says that this will ever be surrendered to
any President is talking utter idiocy.

WORK OF THE PENSION BUREAU.

For the week ended Oct 20 the Pension
Bureau gave another very good output
though not up to that of the weeks i'm
mediately preceding. 1t had a total Of
2.1G0 certificates granted, as against 2,7OG
the week before, falling off of 546. The
original allowances were almost as many
-935 to 944-but the increases fell from
/ ,130 to 765, decrease of 3G5.

How does Mr. Bryan make out that
everybody is contributing to the trusts"
when he says that everywhere the trusts
are running men by underselling them?"
How can the trusts be eXtorting from the
people by selling them cheaper goods than
they can buy elsewhere? The juice al
ways gives out of Mr.. Bryan's logic at
the most critical moment
The National tribune., 1900-11-01

CHAIRMAN JONES shows a bright,
breezy, Autumnal bit Of nerve in urging
Democrats to send their money to him in
stead Of betting it on the election. He is
sure that he can use it to much better ad-
vantage, but he mOdestly refrains from
saying TO whose better advantage.

THE PROSPECT.

1t looks very much now as if Mckinley
and Roosevelt will have nearly if not quite
800 of the AT votes in the Electoral Col
lege. In 1896 Bryan received 176 votes
and Mckinley 271. Then Bryan got one
vote in Kentucky and one in California,
and of the Northern States west of the
MisSiSsippi he carried:

The time that the country might have
had reason to fear Imperialism" and
"Militarism" was when Gen. Grant, vic
torious over every enemy, had 1000, 900
of the finest soldiers in the world under
his command. But every one of those sol
diAsS would have fought to the bitter end
any attempt to change our institutions.

DOES Mr.. Bryan actually believe that
any President can ever take away from
Congress the absolute power to make the
army just as big or as small as he pleases? I?

If President Bryan did not re-appoint
Mr. Evans Commissioner of Pensions it

The National tribune., 1900-11-01

THE best argument made for Mr.. Bryan
seems to be that Congress and the Consti-
tuition will not allow him to do the harm
that he breaches. Carl Schurz is the
great exponent of this argument. 1t will
not strike plain people very convincingly.

AFTER all our forefathers did some
things better than we can ever hope to
do. One of them was transmitting the
Bible. No matter what may be the ad-
vance in scholarship, no one can ever hope
to improve upon the grand, virile, force
full English of the King James Bible,
translated in 1911, and which has helped
more than anything else make the Eng
lish the greatest language in the world.
This is brought out most forcibly by the
effort of DR.. Hayman, an English scholar,
to bring out revised Bible, which will
be an improvement on the old. One COM
parison will show how miserably he has
failed: st. Paul says-1st Corinthians,
ix, 26, %:
Il therefore run, not as uncertainty; so
tight not as one that beateth the air
But / keep under my body and bring it
into subsection; lest that by any means,
when | have preached unto others, l my
self should be q caStawayn
The National tribune., 1900-11-01
DR.. Hayman would make him saw.

Il accordingly so run as if l meant to
win: and so plant my hits not as idly
sparring; but hit home at my own flesh
ly frame, and | tame it into subjection;
for fear | who proclaim the contest to
others should come to be rejected my
self"
Is it possible that anyone will prefer
the simple grandeur of the first to the
forceless vapidity of the second?

NEW CASTLE, Pa, Oct. 14.-Oscar
Kospi, one of the victims OF the ter
rible accident which happened at the

county, last night, returned to con-
seriousness to-day.
The dead are:
JOHN K0RBIE.
ELLEN KORBIE, daughter, aged ten
years.
ANNIE KORBIE, daughter, aged Z
years.
Kospi had several ribs and his cheek
bone broken, and was bruised all over
the body. He will live. The four were
in a two seated carriage drawn by two
horses, and had been TO Hillsville.
1t was shortly after 8 O'Clock when
they started for home about three miles
distant.
Just about the time they reached the
crossing Of the p. & l.. e. railroad the
express going west due in this city at Q
O'Clock, came along. Kospi claims that
the party did not see the train or hear
the whistle blow until they were on
the track. The train was going al
about sixty miles an hour, and the Vic
tins were thrown ahead OF the engine
and literally ground to pieces. Korbie
was a prosperous farmer, and leaves a
wife and three other children.

has in any way equalled that made by this
one. Charles Frohman has produced many

which it is taken, and all will be anxious
to witness the performances. There has

to be an enormous sale. The engagement

spectacular effects of IN electrical and

pretty tints and colorings given the new

been before the public as one of the fore
most and big productions, comes to us al
most new. To the credit of all concerned
it must be said that the attention which
has been given Morrison's production from
time to time is commendable, to say the
least. This seasons presentation is said
to surpass all former ones in every re-
spect. Faust will be given at the OPP
