AN A1Lrxe CORRESPONDENT.

Amid the general and very fiattering
approval over The National Tribune's
truth-telling about Minneapolis comes
this solitary note of disgruntlement:
Editor National Tribune: Your very
unfraternal "squib.' composed wholly
hands, and without stopping to single
out the worst imputations. will simply,
as a whole, say the article is the most
damning, vicious. virulent, uHfraternal
in spirit, the worst of jealousy's screeds,
a positive unmanly and unworthy sem
timent, showing perfect ignorance of
existing circumstances, statements of
damaging character sent out to the
world, which, If true, would be of eter
nal damage to the men and the organ
ization of the q. A. r. Your individual
responsibility is far below the value OF
a rotten potato, except among the rank
and file of the opposers and enemies of
the Nations defenders. However, / am
glad that you will reap the reward you
so richly deserve, viz, the unqualified
disgust of all members of the Grand
Army of the Republic. May your face
forever carry the base expression Of
shame and the deserved "Anathama
Maranatha" be ever present in your
cars. Dare you publish this? / think
not. Disrespectfully-W. II. McCune,
Minneapolis, Mimi.
From the constipation of ideas and
diarrhea of epithets. this poor fellows
liver seems sadly out of order. His
friends should see that he receives
proper treatment at once
The National tribune., 1906-08-02

Judge Lands, of the United States
District Court. has decided that John
Alexander Dowie does not own Zion
City, and that Dowie had no right to
treat the property as belonging to him.
The Court also refused to appoint Alex
ander Granger receiver, for the reason
that he had made vow recognizing
Dowie as "a messenger of the Covenant,
the prophet foretold by Moses, and Eli
jah the Restorer" This vow incapaci-
tated him to act properly as receiver,
and consequently the Court ordered an
election to be held in September for
General Overseer, at which all members
of the church residing in Zion, male
and female, should each have a vote.
In the meanwhile the affairs of Zion
City will be run by the Court through
the agency of John C. Hately, who was
appointed receiver. Mr.. Hately is a
member of the Board of Trade, capi-
talist and active in charitable and re-
form movements.
The National tribune., 1906-08-02
sAGE,s EpITAPH.

The epitaph which Russell Sage d.
rected to be placed upon his tomb is
remarkable for its simplicity and ap-
parent sincerity: 81 have done the best
that 1 could by the light of the day."
This. of course. is the utmost that any
conscientious man can say of his life
work. and the probability is that Sage
lived up to this ideal as nearly as most
men do. There has been great deaf
of abuse showered upon Sage, especial
Iy since his death, but most, If not all
of it, is wholly unmerited. 1t is true
that he accumulated an immense for
tune. but so far there is no evidence
that he used any unfair, illegitimate or
dishonest means. He went into the
ruck of Wall Street with an abundant
supply of ready money, which he lent
to the best advantage to the gamblers
and spectators. 1t is not on record
that he ever took unfair advantage. of
any of them or that he ever did to one
of them what they were doing to one
another and would have done to him
If they had been shrewd enough. He
gained no portion of his money by OPP
pressing poor people or making hard
terms with the needy. He simply kept
his money ready to lend upon any good
property that was offered him, and
when the wolves and sharks in Wall
Street were driven to bay they could
always get money from him upon what
ever property they had that was OF
actual value. He lent nothing upon
gambling prospects or hypothetical
gains. This is what made him so thor
oughly disliked by the feverish gam
blers. He simply pursued with them
the policy he had followed as a shrewd
country merchant. No glittering pros
poets of great gains could tempt him
into wild kiting. He knew the value of
every property that was on the market,
and had hard sense enough to realize
when a value was legitimately advanc-
ing and when it was being worked to
catch suckers. He was in none of the
schemes or corners, but was from first
to last in Wall Street what is found in
every town in the country, hard-headed,
cool-tempered. practical business men,
who live strictly up to their obligations
and make others do the same.
The National tribune., 1906-08-02

There are not at present the symp-
toms of the wild rush for the Shoshone
lands that was at first expected. Mat
ters are going along IN more quiet
and businesslike way than at any pre-
vious opening. So far the number is
not so large as at previous openings.
and. thanks TO the discussion of the
country by the press. the homeseekers
are pretty we'll advised as to the char
acter of the land they are going into.
The railroad men say that n great many
are waiting longer than usual on ac-
count of the length Of time to which
the low rates extend There are no free
homesteads to be distributed. but the
land Is to be sold to those drawing
claims at the rate of $3.50 an acre. OF
which so cents must be paid by the set
tier when filing. There has come some
increase of interest in regard to copper.
owing to the discovery of ore which is
said to be worth as high as SIPS a ton.
This is found in the Copper Mountains.
Amid the crowd now gathering is plcn-
ty of the riff-raff that usually attends
those places: the ''sure-thlns" man. the
fakir. the gambler and the "know-it-
air pioneer. who is ready for a consid-

PUNISHMENT OF THE PULAJANEs.

The colored troops have again fought
nobly and administered a blow upon
the viliainous Pulajanes in the Islani
of Leyte which will have the most
wholesome effect in maintaining order
in the Philippine Archipelago. The re-
cent success of the Pulajanes, in which
they defeated the two constabulary de-
tachments. with total loss of 27 men
on our side. greatly emboldened the
ladrone element in that island, and
made 1t necessary to take prompt and
decisive action. A detachment of the
24th u. S. Colored and company of
native constabulary numbering less than
100, and under the command of Capt
McMaster, were sent against the insur-
gents and encountered a very large
force of them, between 800 and 400, in
thick underwood, where a terrible
hand-to-hand conflict began, lasting 80
minutes and resulting in the over
whelming defeat of the insurrectos. The
official report makes the enemy's loss
$50, while our loss was but one Con-
stabulary Sergeant wounded. 1t is be-
lieved that this decisive success will
end all thoughts of resistance to the
United States authority on the island
and have a very wholesome effect upon
the unruly elements in the rest of the
Archipelago,

Ohio is reaping the benefit of the
high license law of last Winter, which
raised the tax on saloons from $3.50 TO
$1,000. In 1905 there were 1894 sa-
looms in the State. In the first six
months since the law went into opera
tion the number has been reduced to
9,95S, a decrease of % per cent. The
States revenue from the tax has been
100000 more for the first six months
of the year than for the whole Of last
year. Let her make the tax $4,000. and
cut the number of saloons in half. Tho
fewer the better they can be managed,
and there will be an unspeakable re-
duction in the damage they do.
The National tribune., 1906-08-02

We have heard so much in the maga-
zines and papers about the brilliant sue
cess of municipal ownership in Glas-
cow, Scotland, that it comes as PAIN
full check to learn that the city has de-
cided to sell its telephone plant. 1t es-
tablished this six years ago at a cost of
more than S1.OO0,000, and it has been
losing business for the city ever since.
Finding it necessary to expend 5000
more in order to properly develop the
plant. the canny Scotchmen have de-
cided that it would be much more prof
liable to let the Telegraph Department
run the telephone. ard have sold their
plant out to that institution.

THE CHIEF OF STAFF.

Commander-in-Chie Tanner made no
mistake when he selected Maj. Frank
A Butts for his Chief-of-Staff. Maj.
Butts has all the qualities requisite FOR
a successful officer of that rank, and
his tact, energy and thoughtfulness have
gone a great way toward making the
brilliant success which Commander-in-
Chief Tanner has achieved during his
year of administration. Maj. Butts has
a fine record as a soldier. He enlisted
in the 4Sth N. Y. and came home its
Major. being one of the youngest Majors
in the army.
The National tribune., 1906-08-02

Senator Dick naturally talks quite
confidently as to the outlook in Ohio.
He says that there has never been more
general harmony in the party than to-
day, which is an utterance that requires
confirmation outside of the Senator'S
dictum. The party Is making no apol-
ogies for what has not been done. 1t is

Republicans. to swat the Democrats

ESCAPE FROM LIBBY.

The recent account of the Streight
raid in The National Tribune brings up
in memory very vividly the remarkable
escape made by Col. Streight and his
officers from Libby Prison. We have
been able to secure from Maj. L. P.
Williams. 73d Ind. very interesting
account of this. which will appear in an
early number of The National Tribune.
Maj. Williams, who is one of the Clerks
of the Supreme Court for the District
of Columbia, is one of not more than

ed in making their escape at the same
time that Col. Streight did. He tells
the story very simply but wildly.

KEEPING HIS DECKS CLEAR.

The President is showing a firfn reso.
ruck and dunnage of the factional fights
in the States. In this he displays real
great personal strength and popularity
in the country. but it is vital question
of the personal burdens of the Senators
and Governors who are claiming to be
ship buoyancy enough to tote" all the
load of opposition in New York. Penn
sylvania. New Jersey. Ohio, Indiana. IL
linois and Iowa?
Every candidate before the people
Republican or Democratic-is appeal
ing to the people for support because
he is identified with the Rooseveltian
policies. AS to how sincere are these
claims the people themselves must
Judge.
In the States where selfish, domina-
tive party-injurious rings are alleged and
there are revolts against reputed bosses
these are trying to save themselves from
overthrow by securing aid from the
President. He has refused 20 give it in
New York. to Senator Penrose in Penn
sylvania, to either of the factions in
| Iowa, and it is likely that Senator Dick
will fail to get it in Ohio. The situa-
ton is simply this: Senators Penrose,
Dick and others have been rolling up
opposition to themselves personally.
with limited entries on the credit side.
They want to draw large drafts on the
Presidents big fund of credit to make
their accounts balance. To continue
the banking phraseology, the President
seems disinclined to carry them"
The fight in Ohio, for example. is
against Senator Dick personally. against
the men with whom he has surrounded
himself. and against what he has done,
or not done, as Senator from Ohio and
manager of the Republican Party. The
men who are fighting Mr. Dick claim to
be as warm and unqualified supporters
of the President as the Junior Senator
from the State. Senator Dick appeals
to the President to aid him in main
tanning his ascendancy in Buckeye poll
tics.
Why should the President take on
board a heavy load of Mr.. Dicks purely
personal troubles? If Senator Dicks,

Platt's, Senator Depew's, Senator Dolli-
ver's. and so on? How much has he
cargo room for. and why should he
espouse one mans side against anoth-
er's who is just as earnest and valued a

GettfnK Much Lfveticr.
Special to The National Tribune.
Minneapolis. July 30.
Minneapolis is certainly waking up
to what is before her. Returning Elks
who have been enjoying the hospitality.
of Denver are bringing back splendid
reports of the manner in which they
were treated there. and of the decord-
tions, and they are urging the Com
mercial Club to wake up and the peo-
pie of Minneapolis to get a hustle On.
The first time that have seen line
in the newspapers about feeding" the
immense throngs OF people who
will be here appeared Saturday. just
two weeks before the Encampment
opens. 1t is stated that Mr.. Nye. Sec
retary of the Committee, will be very
glad IL those organizations that are in
the custom of giving lunches during
conventions will do so now. as 1t is
thought it will be needed.
1t will. This town is the very poor
est off for restaurants of any town l
ever saw. That speaks volumes for
Minneapolis as a city of homes. Her
population is evidently largely one OF
homekeepers, and restaurants are not
a necessity. The fingers of one hand
will number the good restaurants, and
only two or three of these are large
The prices are, so to speak. pretty well
up In the air. for an Encampment
crowd.
Mr.. Nye has given very carefully
worded and gentle admonition to the
people of Minneapolis on decorating and
the quantity of courtesy that should be
extended to the city's guests. an ad-
monition which was not needed, for the
citizens of Minneapolis are bending ev-
cry energy to make this Encampment a
success. Mr.. Nye says: THE real sue
cess of the National EIcampment rests
with the people of Minneapolis"
The National Tribune has felt all
along as though If Mr.. Nye had said
this in the beginning and let the people
of Minneapolis go ahead things would
have been all right.
Mr.. Nye, just as The National Trib-
une has said, has fallen short in his
conception of what the Commercial
was the duty of that organization, since
it shouldered the job. willingly or un-
willingly, to get to work and create a
sentiment. Wake up the newspapers
and have them full of the Encampment
from the very start. Wake up the peo-
pie. and fll them full of enthusiasm
from the first jump. This Is what the
club Is trying to do. in a perfectly gen.
tlemanly and conservative way now
just two weeks before the meeting of
the Encampment.
People are like Sheep; they want a
leader If somebody with some enthu-
siasm ir him had gone at this thing
and reused the city to its duties and its
opportunities Minneapolis would be
ready now for her visitors. The Com
mander-in-Chief told the Commercial
Club when he was here last that 1t must
wake up and get hustle on itself or
the Encampment would run over it, and
several distinguished veterans from a
distance. notably from Wisconsin, said
to meeting of the committee that it
was not alive to what it had invited,
and would find itself swamped if it did
not get to work.

by the hard old money lender in this

1t is officially stated from Dresden.
Germany, that during the first three
months of this year over $500 dogs
were used as meat and sold from popu-

beyond prejudice why dog meat
shouldn't be as wholesome and nutri-
tious as other forms of meat, and tho
Germans take to 1t kindly. owing to thc

The veterans of Missouri are exceed
ingly indignant at the antics of a Mr..
Simpson Ely. of Joplin. Mo, who was
made Temporary Chairman of the re-
cent State Prohibition Convention. held
at Cameron, Mo. In taking the chair
Mr.. Ely denounced everybody who used
tobacco or liquor. declaring that none
such was thoroughly a man. and then
he launched into a trade against the
Government for its base cooperation
with the liquor dealers for the defraud-
ing of the people," and advocated the
pulling down of the Flag from every
staff in the country. He said that he
was most proud that on that day, which
was Flag Day, there was one spot which
was not desecrated by the American
Flag. He wound up by saying:
Had 1 my way 1 would tear down
from every Flagstaff in the land the em-
blem of a corrupt Government for
whom the Stars and Stripes have long
since lost their significance"
Mr.. Ely seems to be the whole 81
varieties of a hopeless fool.

1t develops that the German kettle
cannot call the American pot black,
because. according to the report of Con-
sui Britain. of Kehl, Germany, aduI-
teration OF all food products must be
more common there than in this coun-
try. These have been so fragrant that
the Government has been compelled to
take decisive action, and where there
were 1,400 prosecutions for this offense
in 1888 the number rose to 5000 in
1903. Each Of these prosecutions de-
velops startling facts as to the general
ity of the practices, and many large
and reputable firms have chemical ex-
perts regularly employed to make adul-
terations. Among the recent prosecu-
tions were 80 Berlin butter manufac-
turers, who had been making the most
disgusting authorizations of their wares.
In Strasburg the most startling devel-
opments have been made in the manu-
facture of sausages from spoiled and
otherwise unsuitable meats, and the
practice has extended even to the mar
ket women, who adulterate butter and
other articles of food that they have
for sale.

The National Tribune has scored a
victory. It was announced last night
that valuation of tickets may be made

announced that time would be given.
