EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Please
allow space from an ex-Confederate who
wishes that the things belonging to
Cesar, Cesar should have. Gen. Nelson
A. Miles should be the next Republican
President. If he had been in England's
army and proved himself great in three or
four wars, England would have built a
great monument to him.
Miles is the man who fought calamity
through the civil war, and protected the
Stars and Stripes at the cost of his hearts
blood. Count the years that this old war
veteran has given up his life to sustain
the Stars and Stripes. Modest. never try
ing to push himself forward. but waiting
calmly on the people who hold the power
with their votes. What encouragement
has the young generation to become SOL
diers when they look upon Gen. Nelson A.
Miles and see the service he has given his
country with SO little reward! The man
mas been fighting his whole life. See how
he has been treated!-WILLIs r. YOUNG,

Troop A Will Not March Through Mi
 antic on Sunday.
 The military authorities have coun- termanded the order directing Troop A, cavalry, O. N. G., to leave New Haven on Sunday, August 9, and march to Ni- antic that day, and other orders have been issued to Captain Ludington Of the command. As now arranged the troop will mount at o'clock Saturday morning, August 8, and upon reaching Durham will go into camp there until Monday morning, when the march for Camp Chamberlain will be resumed. No duty except stable duty will be per. formed Sunday, while in camp at Dur ham, and the members of the troop have been enjoined to observe the day in strictly decorous manner.
 Members of the Epworth league had protested against the Sunday march and many letters had been written to the newspapers by leaguers in similar vein. Some of the writers suggested that the National Guard be ordered into camp on Wednesday, so as to spend a quiet Sunday on the shores of Mantle bay. The change in the order to the troop was made before the Ep- worth leagues protest was received.

AGAINST SUPREME BODY
Wadsworth Lodge, United Workmen
 Reject Plan of Assessment.

Wadsworth Lodge, United Workmen,
 Reject Plan of Assessment.
 Hartford, July 31--Wadsworth lodge of United Workmen held meeting this week and all regular business was postponed in order to take definite ac- ton on the new rates of assessment re- gently adopted by the supreme lodge. The members voted unanimously to re- ject the plan and many gave their rea- sons.
 According to advices the lodges of the Connecticut jurisdiction are not compelled to live under the new rates, as the plan affects only those jurisdic- tions which have been benefited by the relief fund. The Connecticut jurisdtc- tion has never found It necessary to draw on that fund.
 It was the sense of the meeting that while some new plan of assessment was necessary, the one presented was too much of burden for the older members of the order. The members expressed themselves in favor of a plan that would tighten the burden or the old members, and distribute the in- creased expense among the young and middle-aged.
 The officers of the lodge explained that the necessity for new rates was caused wholly by the lack of prudence of the western lodges which were con- stantly calling on the relief fund for aid. These lodges had been supported for some years by the eastern portion of the organization and the inroads on this fund had been so great that 1t had become necessary to replenish 1t at the expense of the eastern members. More than forty-six thousand dollars has been takin in this way during the past year and [ half for the benefit Of the western lodges, which have been un- able to offer any assistance in return. In the New England Jurisdiction 1t is compulsory that sixteen assessments within a year be laid before relief is afforded. Tn the west these assess ments are limited to the number of twelve. When the assessment levied was one dollar the number was limited to thirty-three.
 A number of the members thought it was wrong to raise the assessments and contrary to the spirit of the organ ization. It waa expected by every new member that the rates would always be the same the order retaining the privilege of controlling the number of assessments for it's own good. An of- f1cer said %hat the order was under a moral obligation to discharge it's part of the contract; that 1t should not dis- regard the spirit of the law, any more than the letter, and in this way Wads- worth lodge is one of the first to take definite action, and it is expected that other lodges of the Jurisdiction will fol- low.
