THE great European nations feel it in
the interest of international morality that
they should show some disapprobation of

ton. Great Britain has notified the Ser

recognizing the new order of things, if she
ever does. France has followed her, and
probably Germany will do the same. Our
Minister has been instructed not to present
his credentials to the new occupant Of the
throne until he receives further instruc-

THIS talk about peonage in the South
reveals great lack of knowledge of the
conditions which have always existed
there. In one way or another all the poor
whites and negroes have been held in peon-
age by system Of debt laws very drastic
md arbitrary. No man who had any lit
tie property or was worth anything as a
laborer could ever get out of the country
unless the influential people in the Coun-
ty desired that he should. They had sys-
tenn of capiases which would bring back
any man attempting to escape whom it
was worth while to keep, and once brought
back they knew how to retain him there.
When they chose to make it so the peon-
age was as complete as that in Mexico,
and We saw how effective their processes
were when all the poor whites in the coun-
try were forced into the rebel army. They
had to make but little change in their sys-
tem to adapt it to military uses.

THE question is being brought straight
home to the Colombians whether a little
gang of politicians who happen to be in
power shall be allowed to stand in the
way of the worlds interests. The world
demands an inter-oceanic canal across the
1sthmus of Panama, and it is preposterous
TO assume that little crowd of the char
acter of the dominant faction in Colombia
should be allowed to stand in the way of
the execution of the enterprise. In no civil
lized community is a churlish land owner
permitted to stop the building of railroad
or canal, or even an ordinary County road,
just because he happens TO own the prop
erty which it is necessary to cross. The
world is only greater community, and is
governed by the same principles as ordi-
nary communities. Some way will be
found to exercise the right of eminent do
main over the matchmaking Colombians.

says that the interview is grossly inaccu-

SPANISH WAR APPLICATIONS.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The New
York Sun reports there have been 100000
applications for pensions by soldiers of :he
Spanish-American and Philippine wars
since 1898, or since the Maine was blown
up.
l am not fully aware that the above
number enlisted and were mustered in for
said troubles, during the past five years.
Will you please enliglten me and many
others who take your valuable paper? You
can approximate the number enlisted and
the applications for pensions. Please an
swer under pension Pointers" and oblige
yours truly. II. GRIFFITH, NJ. D., 19I

Like all the New York papers, the Sur
is perfectly reckless in regard to pensions
and pensioners. The report of the Com
missioner of Pensions for the year ended
June 30, 1902, says that there had been VI
to that time 50,071 original applications
on account of the war with Spain ant
1885 other applications, making tota
of 59666 OF these 1856 have been ad
mitted and 15,303 rejected, leaving "a, ,45t
unacted upon. When we consider that thi.
the operations in the Philippines, in which
habitually about 100000 men were occu
pied for years in garrisoning tropical
malarious country and chasing the Ia
drones through fever-breeding swamps, thu
number of the applications is not at al
excessive. 1t is rather very much les.
than we should expect from five years Of
such service as our troops have been do
ing since the Maine was blown up.

DEATH OF GEN. WHEATON.

Maj.-Gen. Frank Wheaton, u. S. A., re

l., May 8, 1888. and educated as a civi
engineer. He received an appointment as
an assistant in the United States and Mex
lean boundary survey, and was engaged il
other expeditions to survey routes to the
Pacific Coast during which time he par
ticipated in many encounters with the Co
manches and Apaches, and showed such
courage and soldiership that he was given
a commission as First Lieutenant in the
1St U. S. Cav. in 1855. and was employed
in the Kansas troubles. He served for Il
while as Aid to Gen. w. S. Harvey, and
after period of hard service against the
Indians was promoted to Captain, March
], 1861, and sent to New York to muster
in the volunteers for the war. Gov
Sprague secured him for the service of his
native State, and he was allowed to ac.
cept commission as Lieutenant-C Colonel
of the I'd II. l., with which he entered
the battle of Bull Run, and when his
Colonel was killed, took command of the
regiment and was promoted on the field
to Colonel by Gov. Sprague who was a

the Peninsular Campaign and Antietam;
and was promoted on the battlefield at
Fredericksburg to Brigadier-General, and

erations against Early's forces at Fort
Stevens and directed the movement by
which II regiments leaped over the breast
works and drove the rebels back from the
front of the fort. In the operations in the
Shenandoah Valley he commanded the
First Division of the Sixth Corps. In the
final movement which eliminated at APP
pOmattOx he moved his division from the
Weldon Railroad at midnight April /, and
at daybreak assaulted and captured Fort
Welch. At Sailors Creek his division
made the brilliant movement which won
the battle and resulted in the capture of
nearly all the rebel troops in his front, in
Guiding two divisions of Ewell's, several
Generals and II battle-fags. He was pres
ent with his division at the surrender at
AppomattOx. After the war he became
Lieutenant-C Colonel in the Regular Army,

in recognition of his gallant services, and
particularly for those at the Opequan,
Fishers Hill and Middletown.

THE Maine papers very properly give n
large portion Of their space to eulogistic
accounts of the character and services of
Gen. Isaac S. Bangs, who died at his resi-
dence in Waterville on Memorial Day. He
came from a good old New England fam
lily, his great-grandfather having died in
the Jersey prison ship in 1777. His grand
father served in the Revolution and the
War of 1872. The family has resided in
Kennebec County, Maine, for more than a
century. Gen. Bangs left a good position
as cashier to enter the army as Captain
Of Co. A, Goth Me-, of which Adelbert
Ames was Colonel and Joshua L. Cham
berlain Lieutenant-COlonel. He made a
splendid soldier, and was offered the Lieu
tenant-Colonelcy of cOlored artillery reg
threatening to hang any white officer of ne
gro troops. He felt that principle called
upon him to accept the commission, and he
discharged his duties calamity and consci-
entiously, coming home Colonel and Bre-
vet Brigadier- General. He was one of the
earliest members of the G. A. r., and be
came Junior Vice-Commander-in- Chief. He
was also devoted to the Sons of Veterans,
and did great deal of hard work for thai
Order. He went into the granite business
after being mustered out, and executed a
number of very large contracts, but retired
from business about u years ago, and de-
voted his time to looking after his proper
ty. He was held in the highest esteem
all over the State.

Thomas J. Stewart, Commander-in-C Chief,

My Dear Sir and Comrade:
l have personally visited the city of
North Topeka, and have Travelled fer 100
miles through the flooded district, and pen
can not comprehensively depict the de-
struction and wreckage that prevailed.
Hundreds and perhaps thousands of our
comrades have had the Accommodations of a
lifetime swept away, leaving them home
less and penniless.
The disaster is so great that this De-
partment is unable to meet the demands.
(signed A. W. SMITH,
Department Commander.
In behalf of these Comrades, upon whom
so dire a calamity has fallen, the Com
mander-in-Chief makes an appeal for con-
tributions, which should be sent promptly
to Charles Burrows. Quartermaster-Gen-
eral, Rutherford, n. j., who will acknOwl-
edge the receipt of same, and forward at
once to the Commander of the Depart
ment Of Kansas, to be distributed under
his supervision, and to be accounted for
to the Quartermaster-Gener As many
Of these comrades have lost everything
and are homeless, the aid extended to be
of service should be rendered at once.
Owing to the large proportion of vet
| Grams among the people of Kansas the flood
disasters have struck with particular hard
ships upon the comrades and many hundreds
of them are in dire need. Their wants are
very urgent and should be relieved with
the utmost haste. We hope that all the
| comrades OF the G. A. r. will harken to this
| call and each give at least little toward
the succor of the stricken ones. The Ma
tional Tribune will be glad to receive any
contributions, and will forward such as
those disposed to give may send in. All
who feel like contributing should lose no
time in sending forward what they are
willing to give, because a little now is
much better than a great deal after a
while. Send your contributions to The Ma
tiOnal Tribune or to Comrade Chas. Bur-
