the Fraser HIghlanders derive their

 Hard work has made both men fit for a long and hard battle, and, al- though the odds favor Burns probably because of his recent signal victories over the best of Australia's heavy weights. Johnson already has many supporters and will have a big bunch of money behind him when he enters the arena.
 Burns has placed himself entirely in the hands of his skillful trainer, O'Keefe, with O'DonnelI. the Austra- Han mddleweight champion, as spar ring partner.
 Johnson has Jack Mullins as his trainer. and Bill Lang. whom Burns trimmed so handily in Melbourne last September. has been doing his best for the past few weeks to give John son points on Burns style of fighting

Editor National Tribune: In going
over mass of accumulated matter In
my desk, / came across package of
papers relating to the last illness, death
and burial of a nephew of Stonewall
Jackson, who died here, in the hospital.
and whom L looked after for six months
prior to his demise, and the superin-
tending of his being placed in his last
resting place.
At that time, / tried to find some
of his relatives to turn these papers
over to, but was unable to procure the
addresses of any of them. SO / thought
j would write you to inquire If you
can put me in touch with any of his
relatives.
He informed me prior to his death
that his mother died in Philadelphia,
but he could furnish me no detailed
information TO guide me. and well
knowing the extensive acquaintance
you have. and the means at your COM
mand Of procuring information, I take
this liberty of troubling you. 1t is
very possible that If any of his re!a-
tives are living, they would like to
have these papers, as they might be of

Think of the Money saved.

Comrade w. II. Montgomery, Co. X,
18th Ohio, Grove City. Ohio, writes:
Too much is made of the aggregate
paid by the Government for pensions,
and nobody ever calls attention to the
fact that very great part of this vast
aggregate is not chargeable to the civil
war. 1t is paid to men ard women
whose pension claims are Lased upon
our numerous justi!ia!,le and Jnjustiii-
able troubles with sundry tribes of In
dians and our wars with Mexico and
with Spain and the island tribes Do
YOU ever hear anyone attempt TO strike
balance between the actual pensions
cost of the war against rebellion and
the expenses the Uaiied States would
have to meet annually if the South had
succeeded in establishing an alien Gov
ernment? Think of the millions they
would have exacted--more than they
have-for cathedrals destroyed where
We lodged in little shacks their soldiers
had called churches and left in semi
wreck before we put our sick and
wounded into them. We are still ray-
ing for those cathedrals.s But consider,
in the light of this and Ike experiences
as to cotton and other classes of prop
erty. what enormous we
would have had to pay from the start.
Then consider the first cost Of conStruc-
tion of a line of forts along the bound
ary between the North and the South.
They would have to be numel uus---their
cost would run into billions, perhaps.
Add the cost of the lgids. Armament,
equipment and maintenance Of these
forts. Consider the great army we
would have to maintain TO man these
forts. Regard the costaof the frequent
fracases they would have precipitated
because their slaves would run across
the border. All this without end, for It
would not come to a termiiia tiOr. within
a few years as a lpension roll does.
Death rids the world and relieves the
Government of those who established it,
but these prevented expenses would run
on forever had they been allowed birth.
The truth is that the civil war pension
er is the best-paying investment the
ever made The civil war
veteran is worth the price. no matter
now high he comes. 1t is disgrace to
the country that there should be any
haggling about the cost of him.
