The National Tribune has secured head
quarters at Saratoga near to National
Headquarters for the convenience of its
subscribers and friends. Its headquar-
tiers will be parlor and rooms 50 and

along the piazza from the G. a. r. Ma
tional Headquarters. 1t invites all its
friends to meet there, and to make its
headquarters a convenience for receiy-
ing their mail and papers and for meet
ing their comrades. We need not say
that such a place will be very desirable
for comrades coming from long dis
tances to meet one another. They can
by correspondence make appointments
to be at National Tribune Headquarters
at such an hour of such day, and this
will save them the tiresome and fire.

PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.

The Atlanta riot was the strongest
influence in forcing thru the bill which
establishes stringent prohibition in
Georgia. Henceforth no Intoxicating
liquor can be made or sold in Georgia
The Atlanta riot started in the vile
drinking dens of the city. and it was
fed to its full climax of horrors by those
dives. With liquor barred from the
State it is believed that race riots will
end. The negro commits his heinous
crimes under the influence of liquor,
and the poor white trash. who are just
as senseless under the influence of in
toxicants as he is, perpetrate their aw-
full lynchings when maddened by
whisky.
The business men of Georgia were
appealed to because of the serious blow
to them by the Atlanta riot. and also
that it would be far better that the s5,-
900. 900 a year which the people spend
in the saloons go to the dry-goods.

BLUING SUGAR.

The natural color of granulated sugar
is a delicate straw. In order to give it
that whiteness which housewives will
persist in demanding, the sugar refiners
some years ago adopted the practice of
mixing with the sugar a little ultrama-
rine blue. While this was not poison
Gus, or, as far as could be seen, preju-
dicial, yet no one would knowingly
drink a solution of ultramarine blue if
he or she knew it. Last year the State
3f Ohio made regulations against blu
ing sugar, and thereafter all sugar sent
20 that State was free from contami-
nation. The people there have bought
he yellow sugar, not being able to get
the white. Now it is learned that the
refiners everywhere have stopped the
practice of adding ultramarine blue, for
fear of coming into conflict with the
Pure Food Law. The change has been
gradual by diminishing almost imper-
ceptibly the amount of the ultramarine
blue added to the sugar, so that the
people would not notice the alteration
4 the color.

DEVELOPING CLASS CONDITIONS.

One unfortunate feature of the labor
union nloverrent is the development in
this country Of classes such as our faith
continent One of the hardest condi-
lions of which they complained was
that man in the old countries was
fixed by the iron conditions of his birth
in certain CLASS above which he never
could rise, We now know from reading
history that this fixedness of socii / con-
ditions was not a result of the Kings
tyranny, but of influences developed by
the old trades guilds. These did exactly
what the labor unions are doing in this
country; they made any trade, calling
or occupation a hard and fast classifica-
ton of men. The fishmongers, the iron
workers. the stone masons and so on
thru all the occupations restricted as far
as possible membership in the trade to
the sons of those who were engaged in
it. This made a caste of certain occu-
pations almost as rigid as the caste
conditions in India. The old-time Amer
lean who was at liberty to choose for
his occupation that which he liked best
or which paid him best or which suited
some or::sr conditions is disappearing.
He can TO longer be as of yore, brick
layer this year, a stone mason next year
and carpenter some other time, and
subsequently painter He must learn
one trade and stick to 1t, no matter
what the consequences; and the men,
bership in all the trades is being more
and more confined to the sons of men
already following that vocation. The
Inevitable consequence of this is to build
up caste lines which. while they have
some advantages, have crueIties against
which the people OF other countries
have complained bitterly and rebeIed
with savage intensity. The tyranny of
the guilds in Paris had quite as much
to do with bringing on the French Rev
olution as the privileges of the clergy
and the nobility.

VETERANS AND TEMPERANCE.

We are astonished that the Northern
Christian Advocate. published at Syra-
euse. N. Y. reproduces with commenda-
ton the following editorial from the
Southwestern Christian Advocate. of St.
Louis:
THE recent ex-Confederate Reunion
in Richmond to witness the unyailinz
of the Davis and Stewart Monuments
was the largest ever seen in the his
toric old city. We are glad to learn
how few. compared with former years.
are given to strong drink. One great
advantage to the ex-Confederates, they
have had no pension from the Govern
ment with which to support saloon-
keepers and debauch themselves. Very
little pension money is now spent in any
other way"
A man who claims to be a Methodist
should know that a very large propor-
ton of the army of the Union, perhaps
the largest proportion of any other de-
nomination. were Methodist boys. who
were conscientious Methodists during
the war. and after they were mustered
out developed into pillars of the Metho-
dist Church. There Is hardly one Of
the Methodist churches in the North,
especially the older ones, which has not
a considerable number of Union veter-
ans in its membership. and they are
now the strongest and best members
the churches have. There are still
hundreds of veterans doing most excel
lent work in the ministry of the church,
and at least one of them is a Bishop.
Everywhere Methodism has been as
strongly supported by Union veterans
as they once carried the fortunes of the
Government. The most rigid supporters
of temperance in the country to-day
are to be found among these veterans
They make themselves felt all the time
and everywhere against liquor selling
and drinking. To have a Methodist pa
per of wide circulation and influence
utter such slanderous falsehood shows
the greatest ignorance on the part of
the editor as to everyday facts among
his own people We challenge him to
go to the first Methodist church in the
country that he can reach and inquire
as to the veterans who are its members,
and how they spend their pension
money. We dare him to go still further,
and investigate the first 100 pensioners
he can find anywhere. We risk nothing
in asserting that he will find at least 95
of them better temperance men than
he is.
We have no patience with such a
presumptious blatherskite. Even tho
he be editor of a religious paper, he
ought to have common sense and COM
mon information.

Just what Senator Williams means by
this remains to be determined. Prob
ably the allusion to John C. Calhoun
and Jefferson Davis was more of an ear
tickler than anything else for those

have never been able to think of any
thing more recent than the way they

Next to John Marshall, John C. Cal

thinker that the South produced He
was. however, destructive, where Mar

fundamental. frightful and fatal mis-
takes were his beliefs that slavery was
a permanent order of things and an
aristocracy the true form of Govern
ment. Yet both Calhoun and Davis
were capable of taking National view
of things and policies which very few
of the Southern Senators for the last 40
years have been able to do. This is
probably what Senator Williams really
means. Outside of Senators Morgan
and Daniels there was not man from
the South in the last Senate who SEEM

RAILROAD SPITE WORK.

The exhibitions of temper by the rail-
road managers all over the country are
astonishing in men Of such ability and
concerted plan is being carried out to
annoy and irritate the public as much
as possible, and attribute 1t to the op-
Grafton of the rate law and the restric-
tionS of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. On this plea special rates have
been refused to the G. A. r. and to
other bodies. Excursions have been
called Off, and q number of absolutely
useless annoyances have been inflicted
upon the public. The shortsightedness
of this is so apparent that it is wonder
that men of the ability of railroad man
ayers should have resorted to it. The
terms and provisions of the railroad rate
law and the duties of the Interstate
Commerce Commission are well known
to all men. and everybody who takes
the trouble to look into the matter can
tell at once what is prohibited and what
is not. He can see how preposterous is
the plea made by the railroads. On the
~
ers were as spleeny as ordinary men
who indulge in the practice of cutting
off their noses to spite their faces.
Everybody knows that railroad rate
regulation was Inevitable, that it was
demanded BY the people everywhere,
and has been deferred longer than most
people expected. Everybody of common
information also knows that the two
cent law was inevitable in all the coun-
try east of the Missouri River. These
things had to come. and they should
have come years ago. The railroad
managers are simply kicking against
the pricks in an aggravatingly short
sighted way, which must injure them
much more than it does anybody else.
While these deliberately contriyed an
noyances irritate the public, they only
make the people angry at the roads and
demand for still more stringent legisla-
ton. Worst of all for the roads. these
practices dsmoraliZe the railroad men
themselves and must cause loss. The
railroads would have had much more
money in their vaults, and their busi-
ness would have been going on far more
satisfactorily IL they had at once ac-
cepted the laws and carried them out in
good faith, as they will have to do in
the end.

A NEW OUANTRILL.

Next as matter of hot evaporation
to the scoundrels who pretend to be
John Wilkes Booth are those vile fell
lows who claim to be the cold -blooded
Quantrill. The story went out thru the
Associated Press last week that GUAM
trill is alive at Quatsino, in British Co
lumbia, and working in sawmill under
the name of John Sharp. According to
the story. Quantrill admitted to j. E.
Duffy, a prominent timber man who
had served in Michigan regiment Of
cavalry. that he was the murderer, and
said that he escaped when his band was
wiped out. and went to Chile; then he
came back to Texas and engaged in
cattle BUSINESS making a lot of money,
which he lost Next he went to Oregon,
and followed DIP the cattle business
there for some years. after which he
became a trapper. He then went to
ouansino iisix or seven years ago. He
says that when his band was wiped out
he was bayonsted in his chest and re-
ceived fbuiletjwound thru the Shout
der. The Surgeon looked him over and
said he could not live more than a cou-
pie of hours and left him. to look after
men where surgical skill would do some
good. In spite of his wounds he rode
10 miles. and is now said to be a man
of 10. very grayg but still active
This is all sheer falsehood. At the
breaking up of Quantrills gang he was
wounded and made his way to Ken
lucky, where ne was in hiding in a nest
of guerriilas and bushwhackers His
whereabouts became known to the au-
thorities at Louisville, and a number of
volunteers who knew him were secured.
They were discharged soldiers, but were
employed and paid by the Quartermas-
ter's Department for the expedition.
They were dressed in rebel clothes.
made their way to where Quantrill was
staying. and in the fight killed him and
q number of others with him. They
brought his body to Louisville, where it
was fully identified This was not diff
cult. as Quantrill had followed a life Of
crime before the war which took him
from one State to another and left his
victims everywhere. He was well known
all over the country as forger, robber,
counterfeiter and thief, and a man who
married women with property wherever
he could find them. got mold of their
property and deserted them. There is
no more doubt about Quantrill's death
than there is about John Wilkes
Booths.
