COST OF LIVING AND WAGES.

The Bureau Of Labor has completed an
extensive investigation into the cost of
living of the average family, and the wages
of skilled workmen and other employees
of about the same rank. 1t now presents
the results in a tabulation of the cost of
living in 1901 of 1861 families, in various
parts of the country, and therefore repre-
sentative of the whole number The family
averaged o.31 persons, or Z above the av-
erage of private families in the whole
country. as shown by the census of 1900.
The head of none of these families earned
over 81. 200 a year, and the average income
from all sources was $S2719 The follow
ing table shows the kinds, quantity and
cost of the food consumed by the average
family:

PEACE IN GEORGIA.

The glad news comes that the pertur-
baton which threatened to wreck the
peace of the country and overshadow even
the beef strike and the Colorado civil war
has been calmed by news from Washing
ton. Somebody started the report that in
the manuvers which will come off next
month on the plains of Manassas, the
Georgia troops would be brigaded with the
colored troops. Just why this should have
aroused the Indignation Of the Empire
State of the South to its center as nothing
has since Sherman's March is not plain
to an everyday man. White troops and col
ored troops have in the past got along
amicably in adjoining camps. and during
the rebellion the camps of both sides were
pretty full of negroes.
A well-disciplined regiment, white or
black. keeps pretty closely to itself, and
has little to do with the regiment on
either flank, and a man who attends to
the duties OF his own company has little
another company.
All the same, Georgia was very indig-
nant. and the Booker Washington dinner
was busted off and brought out as a hor-
rible bogie All this hardly -worked-up in
dignation was killed off before the rest of
the country was aware of it by the recep-
tion of news from the War Department
that there was no intention to brigade
colored troops with the Southern troops,
and certainly not with those highly sen
sitive GoOber- -Grabbers. The colored troops
will be brigaded with the Regulars and the
Connecticut Militia, who are so sure of
themselves that they have no fear of be-
ing lowered by accidental contact with men
of darker skin.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES BLACK.

| It has been the rare good fortune Of
the Grand Army Of the Republic to have
had a succession of Commanders-in-Ch Chief
6f high character and abilities. The list
of those who have presided over its des-
TIMES in the more than a third of a CEN
tury of it's glorious existence is a very
brilliant one. 1t has never, however, been
more fortunate in its selection of an off,
caI head than in Gen. John c.. Black.
His solderly career, his long and gallant
service. his repeated wounds received in
the forefront of battle. has strongly COM
mended him to the favor Of his comrades
and the public, and his civil career and
character and unusual abilities have pow
erfully strengthened this favorable impress
sion. AS an orator he has few equals and
no superiors in the country. His long ex-
perience in public affairs has been entirely
creditable. During the year of incum-
bence of his great office he has devoted
himself with zeal and heartfelt affection
for his comrades everywhere throughout
the land. Wherever he has gone it has
been to the manifest advantage of the
Grand Army. Not only has he by his own
personal interest and magnetism aroused
the deepest interest in the veterans. inside
and outside the Order. and in that way
strengthened and built up the Order, but
he has most favorably impressed the great
public with strong feeling of friendship
and approval for it. There has been a
marked increase in the popular favor and
affection for the Grand Army of the Re-
public in all sections Of the country. Un-
doubtedy a large part of this is due to
Gen. Blacks personality and to the words
of wisdom and patriotism which he has
spoken on all proper occasions.
AT Boston Commander-n-C Chief Black
will go into retirement followed by the af-
fectionate admiration Of every veteran in
the land. the unanimous verdict that he
has done his work exceedingly well. and

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In a lato

driven to accept charity. dying in hos

1t is probable Comrade Calkins did not
know 1.-The hospital at Orting was and is"
a very necessary part OF the Soldiers
Home at that place. and not q poorhouse,
as his words would imply. The 33 COM
rades now in the hospital prove its present
necessity, and the 150 more who have
passed from its wards, and lie sleeping in
the Home Cemetery, awaiting the last
grand reveille which is to awaken the
quick and the dead, would indicate it's
necessity in the past. That the care has
been good in the past, l am assured by
numerous comrades who have been nursed
back to life by its attendants, and will be
good in the future. is amply assured by
the presence of Comrade ]. III. Coffman-

Comrade Coffman is ably assisted by his

every one of the 1853 comrades now en-
rolled at the Home will protest Justify and
loud, and-rightly, too, against being
called paupers, or charity patients, even
by implication.
/ know a certain class of politicians
have at times claimed that inmates Of
Soldiers Homes are paupers, and on that
plea have striven to deprive them of their
right to vote, to take from them their only
share-little at best-in governing this
great Nation, which now exists only by
reason of the heroic deeds of these men
and their comrades, and / do not much
wonder at anything such men do in their
greed for office. but it jars terribly when
one of the old soldiers joins in the cry.
1t does not follow that because a per-
son dies i'm hospital it presupposes q
charity patient. A woman. very dear to
me. died in a hospital in this city five
years ago. and the only charity asked, or
desired, was that (which suffereth long

Comrade Partridge entered the office un-
usually well equipped, having had years OF
experience as Assistant Adjutant- General
of the Department Of Illionis. He had
shown such competence in this, that it re-
quired only little broadening out to cover
the whole United States. While there have
been many good Adjutant- Generals of the

been transacted with promptness, exact

The prices of these articles fell some

their lowest point in 1896, when they were
about 30 per cent. of the prices in 1901
They began to rise then, and reached their
highest point in 1902. when they were

from $318.20 in 1890 to $780, 76 in 1896,

reached $344.61. In 1903 it began to fall
slightly, going to $342.75. The whole

The bulletin then goes into a very ex-
tensive presentation of the wages received
and arrives at the conclusion that the
weekly earnings for 1903 were 429 per
cent more than the wages for the 10 pre-
yious years. They were 4S.1 per cent.
more than in 1890, and had increased five
per cent more than in 1902. This shows
an increase in wages steady but contin-
uing, far exceeding any increase in the
cost of living.
