THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON D. g. THURSDAY.
SAN FRANCISCO IN 1908.

San Francisco has set out upon a de-
termined campaign to secure the holding
of the National Encampment for 1908 in
that city. 1t counts confidently, and with
sufficient reason, upon the memories of the
glorious entertainment given the National
Encampment there in 1856 to fill all the
Delegates with desire to revisit the Col
den Gate. The following circular has been
sent ont. and a delegation of unusual
strength has been elected to press the mat
ter through, at the head of which is Gen.
Shaftcr, of Santiago fame.
Headquarters Department of
California and Nevada,
Grand Army of the Republic,
332 City Hall, San Francisco, Cal.
June 80, 1902.
Dear Sir and Comrade:
The undersi igned Delegates from the De-
partment Of California and Nevada to the
Both National Encampment, at Washing
ton, respectfully and fraternally call your
attention to the following resolution that
was unanimously adopted at our Both De
partment Encampment, just held at Han
ford, Cal:
Whereas it seems desirable that another
National Encampmcnt of the q. y. X.
shall be held on the Pacific Coast before
make it impossible for them to travel long
distances; and
Whereas the memories of the Goth En-
campment at San Francisco i'll 1SS6 are
pleasant and instructive, and the hearty
and practical financial assistance of its
citizens is never to be forgotten. Now,
therefore be it
Resolved That it is the sense of this
3Jth Encampment of the Department of
California and Nevada that the 9th Ma
tional Encampment should be held in the
City of San Francisco, in 1903; and that
our Delegates to the 36th National En-
campmcnt, at Washington, ID. c., be and
are hereby instructed to present the claims
of San Francisco for such 3Ith National
Encampment, and to cause these claims to
be pushed TO favorable consideration.
In view of this resolution and the fact
that our delegation to the Both National
Encampment, ut Washington, was elected
TO go there, pledged to work for il, we
hope You will be prepared to look favor
ably upon our claims when we meet you
there next October. We want the 3Ith
National Encampment to be held here in
1903, and trust you will be satisfied to
favor the idea, and hence we call it to
your attention thus early so you may have
Il chance to think it over and canvass it
with your fellow-delegates.
We promise the lowest roundtrip rail
road fare (probably so from BOSTON, yet
Offered-a choice of two, perhaps three.
routcs-a California welcome on your ar
rival and California hospitality during your
stay.

THE Administration of Gov. A. L.
Bliss, of Michigan, has been so satisfac-
tory that he has been accorded renomi-
nation by the Republicans. AS he had
a majority of $4,000 at the last election,
he may be said to be standing on political
velvet Comrade Bliss was splendid
soldier, rose to be a Captain in the 10th
n. Y. Cav, and was left for dead on the
field at ReaEi's Station, to be picked up
by the rebels and suffer a long term Of
Imprisonment.

THE following from the Herfordshire
Eng) Star shows that crossing the ocean
has not broken Henry Clay Evans Of his
old tricks:
The Hon. Henry Clay Evans, who takes
the place of the late William NJ. Osborne
as United States Consu-General in Lon
don, was born in 1S43, and began his
working life as manufacturer of railway
carriages. He received his present ap-
pointment Immediately upon resigning the
position of Commissioner of Pensions
The pension system, which is one of the
most important institutions in America
dispensing some S150.009,0O0 yearly, has
been considerably abused by fraudulent
veterans. Mr.. Evans fought these impos-
tors so strenuously that possibly some
worthy soldiers, without the proper proofs
to substantiate their service, but with con-
siderable political influence, suffered for
and with the guilty.
This brought upon the Commissioner the
Indignation of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, a powerful organization that casts
a solid vote for the Republican party, and
Mr.. ETans's resignation was the result.
The National tribune., 1902-07-31

THE Department of Illinois, G.. A. r.,
has placed in domination for Commander
in-Chief Gen. John C. Black, Past Depart
ment Commander and ex-Commissioner of
Pensions. Comrade Black has a military
record that ranks among the first. He
went out in 1861 as an enlisted man in the
11th Ind, then raised company for the
3Ith ILL.,, which he commanded with grea,
sallantry, until he was promoted to field
officer, finally reaching the rank Of Colonel
and Breyct Brigadier-G General. He was
repeatedly wounded, and suffers intensely
from his wounds to this day. After his
term as Commissioner of Pensions, he was
elected Representative-at-Larg from Hi
nois, and President Cleveland appointed
him U. S. District Attorney for Northern
Illinois. He is a genial, lovable man. ant
an orator of high rank.

THE Rhode Island Branch of the So
ciety of the Cincinnati has offered a gold
medal for new and satisfactory melody
for America" The words are acceptable.
but the Society objects to the use of the
same tune that is used in England for
"GOd Save the King" in Germany for
"Heil Dir in Sieger Kranz," and by other
countries for their National airs. The
objection seems strong, but unfortunately
for them National anthems can not be-
and never have been, made to order Like
Topsy, they simply grow" People sing
what they like, not what some men may
think they ought to sing. The nearest ap.
proach to an indigenous National melody
we have ever had is John Browns Body. -
Some day some musical and poetic genius
will take that as a foundation and build
up for us genuine National song.

A QUEER fact of the labor situation is
that the Italians are crOwding out the
Japanese in the far West. The Great
Northern Railway, which now employs
over LOCO Japanese on its line in Mon
tana. has started in to replace them with
Italians. who will receive 16 cents per
hour As lire. which is worth 10 cents,
is as big in Italy as a dollar is in this
country, the prospect of receiving nearly
lire an hour is amassing wealth very rap
idly to the poverty-stricken sons of sunny
Italy.

APPARENTLY the policy of Mckinley
in trying to build up a Republican party
in South Carolina among the anti-Tili-
NANTES is to be continued. The appoint
ment of Maj. Micah jenkins, the Rough
Rider friend of President Roosevelt, to
the position of Collector at Columbia, was
step in this direction, and now Maj. Jen-
kins has removed George Washington
Murray, who represents the negro ele
ment in the State, and appointed in his
place E. W. Screven, who belongs to one
of the oldest South Carolina families of
rice planters. He came over to the Re-
publican side during CIeveland's first Ad-
Immigration, and has since been a leader
in the attempt to build up a Republican
party among men of social and business
standing. 4zsste
