A Last Grand Review.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Apropos
of the coming National Encampment l
have suggestion to make. Would it not
be an inspiring and at the same time pa
thetic sight to see all survivors that could
be gotten together of that great army that
81 years ago marched in the Grand Re-
view down Pennsylvania avenue and have
them march together once more and for
the last time? Let us have a part C,f one
day set aside, and only those who actually
marched then participate in that march.
In 1870 in England 1 met number of
British officers, among whom was one
who had been sent to the United States
by the English Government to take notes
of the civil war. In discussing some of
the incidents the subject of the Grand Re
view was brought up.
This officer turned to the others and
said: II was seated on the grandstand
near where were seated Gen. Grant, Gen.
Sherman, President Johnson, and officials
from nearly every Nation. / sat there
while Sherman's army marched past, and
while l have seen many finer dressed ar
mics, there, gentlemen, was the finest eff
fective army the world ever saw"
Comrades of the Eastern Army and the
Western Army, let's take this matter up
and make it one of the features of the
National Encampment.-LEw. GINGER,
18th Ind. Second Brigade. Third Division,
Fourteenth Corps. Colorado Springs, Colo.

The Canal Commission.

The President does not intend to hurry
himself about appointing the new Canal
Commission. Those who are informed saw
that he has not even thought about the
personnel of the body. The law distinctly
declares that the President must first
make arrangements to secure satisfactory
title and that he must secure control of
the land by treaty, before he appoints the
Commission. The Commission would have
nothing to do until all these preliminaries
were arranged. Gossip about who shall
sit ON TIE Commission is futile at this
time. TIL, law declares that four of the
seven members shall be Learned and
skilled in the science of engineering, and
Of the four at least one shall be an Off
Ger Of the United States Army, and at
least one other shall be an officer of the
United States Navy, the said officers, re-
spectively. being either upon the active
or the retired list Of the Army or Of the
Navy"

Visited.

Plans of the Committee on Battlefield Excur-
sions - Fredericksburg. Gettysburg, Ma
nassas. Charlottesville, and others to be
Visited.
In addition to the information as to
rates of fares and dates of excursions fur
nished by the Committee on Transporta-
ton to comrades and others who propose
to visit Washington during the National
Encampment, and from there desire to
visit the battlefelds of the civil war, the
Committee on Battlefield Excursions will
arrange for a detail of members from that
committee at all railroad depots, who will
be appropriately designated by badges and
who will be prepared to give all neces-
sary information in regard to location OF
trains, their destination and time of de-
parture. 1t is also intended TO send MEN,
bers of this committee to battlefields re-
mote from cities, such as Winchester,
Manassas and Charlottesville, to arrange
for transportation to and from those
points, to provide for entertainment at no.
tells and boarding houses as near thereto
as possible, or, if impracticable, to pro-
vide luncheon at reasonable rates upon
the ground and to act. as guides whenever
necessary. Transportation will also be
at hand and experienced guides will be
on duty at Gettysburg, Fredericksburg,
Antietam and Petersburg.
1t has been arranged that Mr.. Frank
BarrOws, Superintendent of the National
Cemetery at Antietam; Mr.. George G.
Round and Mr.. Steen. at Manassas; Mr..
William Dillon, Superintendent of the
National Cemetery ut Fredericksburg,
and Messrs. Amber B. Moncure, III. D.
Tuttle and Charles A. Clark, at Peters
burg, TO meet comrades at the various
trains and look after matters of trans
portation, guides, quarters, etc. They,
together with members Of this committee,
who will be sent to points where local
guides are not available, will also be des-
ignated by special badges in order 20 af-
ford ready recognition by visiting COM
rades.
Gettysburg has such large and we'll
appointed corps of guides and everything
else connected with that battlefield is SO
well and widely known as to make it I'M
necessary to send members of this com.
mittee to that location. 1t is suggested
that whenever practicable comrades
should organize into parties and agree
upon some plan in making their trips to
these battlefelds. They will thus COM
mand more attention and can make bet
ter and cheaper arrangements in regard
to eating and sleeping accommodations,
and also as to such transportation as they
may require, other than that furnished by
railroads.
Railroad accommodations will be ample,
and every effort will be made to transport
safely all comrades who desire to take
these trips.

ners tattered, our heads bowed with
WEAKNESS, our hearts with pain which
only the thought Of reaching home could
tighten. What cared we for sightseeing
or for the beauty of the city? The hum
blest farmhouse or cottage, so it were
home was sight far more beautiful,
and few indeed of the returning soldiers
tarried longer than compelled by duty.
To them, rs to every soldier, visit to
Washington at this time offers the great
est promise of pleasure. To go at all
would be enjoyable, but to make the trip
in the society of men who have shared
with you the scenes which are the most
vivid of your life is indeed delight not
lightly to be put aside. A gathering of
the survivors of the civil war is always
an interesting as well as pleasurabe oc-
casion, but to meet where every surround
ing speaks with the voice of an old ia
miliar friend gives an added zest to every
moment of joy.
Around no other city north of Mason &
DiXons line cluster so many memories of
the great conflict Take up the order of
events which occurred near Washington
and note the impressive array:
First Bull Run, the Peninsular Cam
paign, Second Bull Run, South Mountain,
Antietam, Fredericksburg. Chancellors-
vile, Gettysburg. The Wilderness. Spott-
burg, the Shenandoah Valley, Appomat-
toX. Comrades, no man who ever carried
a gun can hear that list and not ardently
desire to view once more the scenes of
such tremendous action. Put aside the
the cares of your toll and treat yourself
to a grand and glorious holiday. Don't
sit down and think that this prevents and
that hinders, but make up your mind to
come and just march out. Minnesota ought
10 make the best showing that she ever
has. The honor of the election of the
Commander-inC Chief has been given her
and she should manifest her appreciation.
Many short trips and excursions have
already been planned to the various bat
tleficlds and other points of interest near
to the city. and the cost of visiting these
places of historic interest will be nominal.
Talk this matter over with your friends,
your neighbors and your comrades and
make up party to go.
Yours in f.. G. and L.,
PERRY STARKWEATHER.
Department Commander.

CADETS=AT=LARGE.
Why They Are Appointed by the President

Some one has been rushing into print,
leaving behind him an atmosphere posi-
lively lurid with his hot indignation over
the fact that the President is appointing
Cadets-at-large to West Point, the "sonS
of their fathers" or, in plain English, the
sons of men who wear the shoulder straps
of high rank in the military service of
the country. He pointedly asks:
IF these conditions prevail in the fu-
ture, what is to become of the ambitious
sons of farmers, mechanics, policemen and
hucksters? Perhaps, in the event of
trouble, the latter may be allowed to join
the ranks and do the Nations fighting
as of yore.'
Somebody ought to tell the agitated in
quirer that the sons of the above will go
right straight on acquiring everything in
sight, as bright American boys have n
habit of doing, and that there is no law
written or unwritten, that will prevent
them achieving all that they desire and
dey elop capacity for. The cadetships to
West Point and Annapolis belong to the
people, and are parceled out by the mem
bers of Congress. But the officers of the
Army and Navy have no Congressman to
look out for them, or for the interests of
their sons, since they belong "to the
Union," and not 70 States or Districts. To
meet this contingency Congress created
the cadetshipS-at-large. But for this ex-
cellent provision there would be very few
sons of officers in the military or naval
service. AS the law now stands, the rec
ords of our National history show great
military names handed down from father
to son, and made famous for both coun-
try and flag through long line of bril-
liant achievements on land and sea. Our
military schools are the finest in the
world. If there is anything in heredity,
the sons of men who in these schools re-
ceived the education that made them mil
itary leaders must transmit these splen-
did traits to their sons and in the end it
must make them more valiant in war and
reflect greater honor upon the service and
the flag

Circular No. !.
Dear Comrade: The coming National
Encampment at Washington, which will
be held during the first week of October,
offers us another, and probably the last,
opportunity to visit as body of veterans
the city which to us must ever be the
most interesting as well as the most dear
iy loved OF the Commonwealth of our
country.
To every American the city of Wash
ingtOn is a sort Of Mecca, but to us it
must ever hold an attraction which is not
only greater but more tender and appeal
ing; for it is the heart Of our National life,
and it typifes and represents the object
for which we so gladly offered the great
est sacrifice man can make
Forty years ago many Of us marched
through its streets in the flush of youth
with light step and buoyant heart.
When we came into contact with the older
men, when there was held up to us the
grief of the Nation, which looked more
in sorrow than in anger at the rebellious
sons, we hardly understood the meaning
OF their tears. We marched gayly out
from its wallis, with our banners flung out
to greet the sun. The beat of the drum
was not more confident than the beat of
our hearts, the shrill fife was not so high
as were our hopes. Brave boys in blue
were We, confident in the victory over a
foe whom we imagined would flee before
us, strong in the thought that in a few
short days, or weeks, we would return

fight; our only burden the shackles of the
millions of slaves whom we would liber
ate, and the laurel wreaths which in al
probability would replace our fatigue
caps. when We came back we would
take time to look over the city, and W,

Free Quarters at the New Government Print
ing Once

The fifth, sixth and seventh floors of the
new printing Office have been assigned the
Grand Army for free quarters during the
Encampment. These floors are all that
will be finished off in time for occupancy.
Two or three elevators will be in opera
ton for the benefit of the veterans, SO
they will have no climbing of stairs to do.
Each veteran will be provided with a nice
new mattress to sleep on and a folding
camp chair. No bed clothing will be fur
nshed, and each veteran who expects to
occupy free sleeping quarters, no matter
where located, must bring with him his
own blankets. 1t would be impossible to
supply bedclothing for SO vast an army.
