past few days during the absence of
her brother and other officials at lIa-

About twenty-five members of the
Association of Union EN-Prisoners Of
War met vest hrday afternoon at the
rooms of Ezra Griffin post. Grand
Army of the Republic. in the Windsor
building, and held their seventeenth
annual session, a large amount of
interesting and important business
being transacted. Following the meet
ing a banquet was given the veterans
by the Wumcn's Relief association, and
a thoroughly enjoyable campfire COM
ploted the programme.
The same board OF officers were re-
elected by the members of the asso-
citation, and delegates were also chosen
10 the national enCampment. A feat
urc of the afternoon was the very
lively discussion on the pension bill
granting a remuneration TO every sail
or and veteran who was imprisoned
in southern Jail during the war.
President Halsey Iathropc called the
meeting to order about 315 o'clock,
and prayer by the chaplain opened the
session. Rev. Dr. :. G. Logan took his
place at the altar. which was in the
center of the hail. draped with a large
American flag. The veterans clasping
hands, stood i'm n ring around their
aged chaplain, and when he had con-
Cluded his prayer sang .'America," led
by Major T.. W. Pearcc. Some of the
voices may have quaVcred bit, or
were, perhaps, a triflc weak, but the
chorus which sounded had a ring about
it suggestive of nothing but patriotism
and loyalty.

THE BILL DISCUSSED.

This was the signal for a series OF
remarks on the subject, one veteran in
whose breast still ranked the priva-
tiOns and hardships OF Libby, Grating
as follows: rs that name Confederate
a stencil IN the nostrils OF southern
congressman? ! do not believe In
making any concessions, and for one
will never lick any boots to get a
southern vote"
Rev. DR., Logan spoke of the injustice
of the holding up of the bill "For
two years during the war" he said,
"the government deliberately put Off
the exchange of prisoners. l hope that
we win never give up the project until
justice has been done"
Colonel Ripple remarked that the
government considered Il a military
necessity 10 avoid an exchange, as
every Union prisoner kept Confeder-
ate out of the ranks

clared that since 1850 1t has been be-

REPORT OF lCNCAAlpMENT.
Major Pearce, who was one of the
local delegates to the encampment,
gave an interesting account OF it and
spoke in glowing terms of the national
campfire, at which were present nine
thousand persons. Comrades Parson,
Graham, Hughes and Long were the
other delegates from the association.
\ spirited discussion was held re-
Garding the memorial fountain which
Is to be reared over the famous spring
which gushed forth at the Confederate
prison, and which proved such provT-
dental source of succor to the pIison-
crs forced to often drink the foulest of
water. IL is proposed to dedicate this
fountain on Memorial day and letters
We're yesterday read commissioning
Major Pcarce to receive contributions
to the fund. \ number of the eX-pris-
oners who were in AndcrsonVillc at
the time that the water miraculously
flowed forth expressed their opinion
that the occurrence was a wonderful
manifestation of the power of God.
Major PoarCc in making his report
declared that at the cncampmcnt Com
rade Harry Palmer quoted a congress-
man as saying that the bill pcnSiOning
Union cX-prisOncrs of war would never
b, passed under its present heading.
This statement aroused such general
comment that Adjutant Ripple read
the bill, which provides for granting
pensions to soldiers and sailors con-
fined during the war in sO-callcd Con-
tcdcrate prisons"
Th, bill was given into the hands
Of a senate committee, but never
reached the house. II provides for the
payment of s. for each day spent in
prison. Major Pcarcc arose after the
reading OF the bill and said:
"A new bill ought to be drafted,
which would be presented at the next
session Of congress and If there is any
thing obnoxious in its heading let us
remove it,"

AGreat Orator.

A Great Orator.
Oratory is not what it used to be.
The style. and more than all. the
matter Of great speeches has changed.
Speakers make strong and lasting
effects nowadays by talking sense,
by fitting words to the occasion. by an
inspired tact. The speeches of Pat
rick Henry, Of Webster, of Henry
Clay would not lit il tried on a mod
ern audience. Structurally, the sen.
tences are too long. they are burdened
with classical analogies and figures,
with poetic allusions, with the flow
ers Of speech. The modern speaker
does not employ prologue, but at
once and without apology. introduces
an idea. In listening to what he has
to say modern audience does not
think Of the words. OF all the inter-
esting things in the world an idea
evolved by a man of action is the
most interesting. The man who has
something to say can always say it
well. Grants style of telling the
story of his life was so simple and so
perfect that only professionals. who
have labored long to obtain limpid
style recognize that there is any art
in General Grants wonderful tech
niQue.
In the last campaign two men were
asking the voters Of this country to
elect them to the presidency. One
