by the President:
William H. Seward,
Secretary Of State"
Like most of Lincoln's great acts. this
was far from being generally applaud
ed at the time, and its reception by the
different elements was as diverse as the
principles they represented The South
and the Pro-Slavery press in the North
were insolent in the last degree, and
claimed to be intensely delighted that
the mask of hypocrisy had at length
been thrown off and the abolition pur-
poses of the President revealed in all
their revolving nakedness The timid
Unionists, still under the repressive
shadow of slavery, were alarmed at the
radicalism of the measure, while the
radical Abolitionists f1outed it after their
manner as time-serving, and of abolish
ing slavery where the President had no
power, while retaining it where he had
means to destroy it. The great body of
the people, however, was with Lincoln,
and he knew it. He had gone ahead, in
their judgment, just at the right time
and done exactly the right thing Tho
logic of his position was unassailable,
and he had kept proper faith with the
pledges made at the opening of the war

Mother Close Call.

Comrade G. L. Camp, Sergeant, Co.
q, 92d Ohio, Tracyton, Wash, like
Comrade Chambers, has had some close
calls, but "a miss is as good as a mile. I"
The closest he ever had was at the
charge on Mission Ridge, when only
the single thickness of the front case
of his watch saved him. His blanket
was rolled and tied over his right
shoulder and under left arm; his watch
was In the fob pocket of his trousers.
The ball made six holes thru the blank
ct, lodged in watch, cut thru clothes
under the watch, but drew no blood.

Big Pensions to Widows,

Editor National Tribune: Will you
kindly inform me and others who re-
ceives the largest pension? Was there
special bill passed paying any widow
of a deceased soldier $4,000 pension a
year? This matter has been discussed
by a number of comrades as being ex-
cessive If paid. This information would
be greatly appreciated-Martin Zim-
norman, Clayton, Mo.
No pension of $1,000 was granted a
widow of a General. 1t has been the
custom to give penison of $1,000 a
year to widows of ex-Presidents, and
Mesdames Garfield, Grant, Harrison and
Mckinley received the benefit of this
rating.-Editor National Tribune.

Proud and Glad.

Comrade Tom Trunnell, Co. B, 18th
Mo, Powersville, Mo-, writes patrioti-
cally. He has taken The National
Tribune since 1880, and his subscrip-
ton is paid into 1910. He says as an
aside: 1--WE can't do without the great
and good National Tribune; we are
proud of the stand it has maintained
for just pension laws" He adds:
Some Of the old boys kick Uncle
Sans shins because they do not get
more, and say that this would not now
be great country if we had not re-
sponded to its call for fighting men
and saved the Union. Lest we forget,
let us remember that for all these 40
odd years we, too, have enjoyed the
benefits of our victories, the country's
greatness and all the blessings of this
good old Government. We are proud
and glad that we were soldiers; we
have the right to be proud, and we
ought to be glad that we were able to
and did put down the rebellion. They
were Americans, brave men that We
fought, and to conquer them proves
our mettle."

and comes from the Frankford Arsenal
The recent Industrial depression Is
attributed by Gen. Elliott, Commandant
of the Marine Corps, as the cause of his
being able to recruit the corps up to the
full allotted strength.
July 1 last the Marine Corps was
short 400 enlisted men. For a year or
more previous to that the CORPS had
ranged from 200 to $50 short of the au-
thoriZed strength, and at the end of the
last fiscal year the situation seemed al
most hopeless.
Advertising on all billboards was re-
sorted to, but without the desired sue
cess. New recruiting stations were
opened in different parts of the coun-
try, but apparently there was a lack of
interest in that branch of the service
The Marine Corps is usually more at
tractiye to recruits for naval service
than the Navy proper, for the reason
that the men are sent over the world as
much as sailors, but are not confined to
ship duty so extensively.
When preparations were made to
send the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific
efforts were at once put forth to obtain
recruits in order to have a full compile
ment of marines aboard each of the
ships. At the last moment this was not
only accomplished, but the officials were
able to put about 200 additional on
board in order to send them around to
San Francisco for duty with the Pacific
fleet.
Gen. Elliott notified Secretary Met

been completely filed, and he hoped to

COTTON MARKET
 HITS THE BOTTOM
Lowest Prices of the Year Are
 Marked On the Board
BEAR PRESSURE IS HEAVY
Market Opens at a Decline and Selling Is Free-After Slight Rally the Close Is Lower On General
 Bearish Reports.

New York, March 24.-The feature in the cotton market today was the in creasing activity and relative steadi- ness of new crop positions which led the rally after the early decline to ew low records on old crop months The close was steady at net decline of , to 12 points. Sales were estimated at 35O,OOO bales. The market opened steady at a decline of 1 to points and during the early session sold 10 to 16 points net lower, near positions being relatively weak under liquida- tion and bear pressure which was pro noted by easier cables and talk of cotton coming here from the south for delivery on contracts.
 After selling at 9.49 for May and July and 9.43 for October, the mark t steadied on covering and buying for a turn. New crop positions seemed to be attracting most of the demand for long account which was probably due to reports that wet weather was de- laying farm work and that flood warn ings had been issued for Alabama low lands. At one time during the after noon October sold 1 point over July and sh owed net advance of points while old crop months remained to I points net lower.
 Toward the close prices eased off under realizing by early buyers for a turn and on prospects for clearing weather in the eastern belt. Southern spot markets officially reported were unchanged to Ac lower. Reports con- cerning shipments of cotton here from the south are very conflicting, some claiming that no shipments of conse- quence are probable and such opera tions would show considerable loss
 Receipts at the ports today. 23,22S bales, against 17,o7o last week and Ss.- 2O5 last year. For the week, S5,O0O. against 92,997 last week, and 147045 last year. Todays receipts at New Or leans, 5509 bales, against S156 last year and at Houston, 1885 bales, against 9416 last year.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, March 24.-(Special.)-An- other day of liquidation on the near po- s.tions closed the market at the low point of the year. Liverpool was disposed to call d halt this morning, advancing sharply at the opening, only to be mes with orders from America to sell before our market opened. While the buying today was of a better character than of fate, the continued pressure to sell by the late bull pool was continuous all day. At the close the arbtrage brokers were selling rev crops here, expecting to buy Tn Liverpool tomorrow Weather eondi- ticns throughout the district east of the Mississippi were unfavorable for the planting preparations. Traders are gen. erally bearish, thinking the liquidation is not yet over in May.
