THE ANDERSONVILLE PRISON
PARK

The bill to transfer the Andersonville
Prison Park from the Woman's Relief
Corps has now passed both Houses and
been signed by the President. The COM
mittee of the G. A. r. and w. r. c.,
which has had the matter in charge, is
now considering the technicalities of
the transfer. An opinion has been rem
dered by the Judge-Advocate-Gen
or the Grand Army of the Republic that
this transfer cannot be made by the
officers and committee of the w. r. c.,
but will have to be done by the full
consequently the transfer
cannot take place until the National
Convention has acted upon it at its
meeting at Atlantic City in September
Past Commanders-in-C Nevius
Brown and Warner and Past National
Presidents Kate E. Jones and Kate b.
are now arranging the details
of the transfer to have it ready for the
National Conventions action. The park
is now virtually under the control of
the War Department and it's protection
assured.

NO FEVER AT ST. CLOUD.

The strong rivalry of the real-estate
Spectators who are trying to divert the
colonists from St Cloud knows no limits
of truth or justice. The most malignant
and false exhibitions of this are by
agents who are stationed at Jackson
VILE and other intermediate points at
tempting to divert intending settlers by
stories that there is typhoid fever in
the colony. This Is absolutely untrue,
as can be easily demonstrated by the
evidence of the State health officials
and the number of veteran physicians
who are residents of st. Cloud. These
all testify in the most positive manner
that there has never been but one case
of typhoid fever in the colony, and that
came from some other place. Precau-
tions were at once taken to prevent any
spread of the disease, and these have
been effectual. The State health Off
ciaIs and the local physicians certify abb
solutely that there is no typhoid or 9TH
er fever in the settlement and no pre-
nlonitions of such an afliction. The
location is one of the healthiest in the
United States, and it Will always remain
SO. Visitors TO St Cloud should be on
their guard against these sharpers, who
DO not hesitate TO lie in hopes of secur-
ing their ends that of switching off set
tiers to their particular real estate prof.

zALMoN G. SIMMONS DEAD.

The comrades all over the country
will hear with deep regret of the death
of Zalmon C. Simmons, of Kenosha,
est and contributed more literally of
his means to the comrades than any
other civilian in the country. Mr.. Sim
mons was one of the leading citizens Of
Kenosha, Wis. where he had lived GO
years, and had done more for the up
man in it He began his business life
there in 1S43 as a clerk in a genera!
store, was unusually successful, then
went into railroad building and
achieved his first great success in the
construction of the Kenosha, Rockford
&. Rock Island Railway, taking the en-
terprise when 1t was bankrupt and car
rying it thru to success. The first train
ran over the road the day of the LATHE
of Bull Run. He next built telegraph
lines, and became President of the Com
pany, and in 1891 built the cog road up
Pixies Peak He took a great interest
in building up the manufactures of
Kenosha, and was President or Direc-
tor of several great concerns, President
of the First National Bank, and inter-
ested in other enterprises. AS Mayor
he managed the finances of Kenosha
very successfully, and in every way was
a leader IN all that made for his oity's
advancement. He took the deepest in
terest in the veterans. When the troops
were being raised he expended large
amounts of money in fitting them out
and providing them with comforts, and
he kept up similar lavish expenditures
as long as he lived. Every year for
many years he had given big rccep-
ton to the members of the Grand Army
in Wisconsin and northern Illinois. AT
the Denver Encampment he presented
each veteran with bronze medal. For
this he was made an honorary member
of the Grand Army. His death brought
the deepest mourning to Kenosha and
thruout the State.

PROFESSIONAL sOUTHERNERS.

The people of New York, as well as
some other cities, are beginning to get
very tired of the professional Southern
men and women, who put on q great
many airs of superiority and claim ex-
traordinary things for themselves and
the section from which they came. Dis
trict Attorney Wise, of New York, a
Virginian, has, given a well-deserved de-
nunciation of this class, and he is REIN
forced by Robert Adamson, Private
Secretary to Mayor Gaynor, a Georgian
by birth and education. who writes for
the New York papers:
"A professional Southerner is a man
addicted to this vice as men-who ap-
plaud violently in restaurants when
ever Dixie is played Wherever a few
persons are gathered they tell long
stories of ante-bellum aristocracy and
grandeur. The men attempt to borrow
money from prosperous Southerners, on
the grounds that both have come from
the South. AS a matter of fact, no
professional Southerner ever amounted
to anything at home, was never men,
ber of the class of people to whom he
pretended to belong, and in many cases
was from another part of the country
altogether"
District Attorney Wise writes:

fool. He is a person who seizes any

CONSOLIDATION OF PENSION
AGENCIES.

The National Tribune has from the
first been emphatically opposed to the
proposed consolidation of the pension
agencies. 1t has seemed clear to us
that such movement would be injuri-
Gus to the best interests of the COM
rades in every part of the country by
imposing endless and vexatious delays
upon the comrades and their widows in
the receipt of their pensions. A bill to
consolidate the pension agencies has
passed the House and is now before the
il, and will not pass the bill, as ii has
refused TO do two or three times. The
veterans of Ohio are particularly
aroused on this subject, as the pension
agency at Columbus is a great con-
venfence to them, its operations have
always been highly satisfactory and to
transfer the issuance of their pensions
to Washington would be serious trou-
BILE to them. They are threatening to
take this matter up at the polls, and
make a great deal of trouble for the
Representatives who voted for the con-
solidation. As there are between so, 600
and $4,000 veterans in Ohio and each
of them influences several votes, their
opposition is formidable and should be
regarded. The Department of Ohio is
on record against the proposition, and
the Commander has made his protest
to the Senate against the bill.
The consolidation will not be in the
frfa nf f1an SRa
the work Of issuing pension certificates
can be done much better, much more
expeditioUsly and much more cheaply In
the several agencies than It can from
Washington. So great an instrumen-
tality as the pension system should be
brought into the closest touch with its
benefciaries, where they can have their
allowances made to them with the least
delay, with the utmost certainty and

WHAT Is THE NATTER WITH CAN
NOM

Sensible people all over the country
are now fully recognizing. if they have
not before. the bugaboo a lot OF cheap
touts have made of Speaker Cannon.
The reaction against these intemperate
and senseless mouthers is now setting
in. and 1t will result in making Cannon
stronger with the country than ever.
Speaker Cannon has had a more diff
cult role to play than any presiding
officer of the House of Representatives
for many years The condition of the
Treasury is low. the Governments reve-
nues have fallen to an alarming extent
and while we all hope that the Treas
TRY will soon become satisfactorily pie
thoric again, the finances of the Gov
ernment must be in the meanwhile ad-
minstered with the most rigid economy.
Economy is always disagreeable, wheth-
er practiced by an individual, COM
ilunity or a Nation. 1t has to he prac-
tfced all the same at certain times. no
matter how unpleasant it may be. The
responsibility for this economy is with
the House of Representatives, and it is
one that cannot be shirked. on the
other hand. the country is growing rap
idly, and demands for expenditures are
great and pressing. the needs for these
are set out with the great
est force. and have behind them strong
bodies of our citizens. The disagree
able duty of standing between these de-
mands and the undeniable condition of
the Treasury centerS at last upon the
Speaker, = who is the executive of the
House of Representative and the expo
nent of its will. Speaker Cannon has
courage firmness and discretion. There
fore. the antagonism to him of all who
are clamorous for large drafts from the
public Treasury for whatever schemes
they may be promoting. This IS the
most natural thing in the world. Then,
every Ioud-mouthed shrieker who fails
to get attention for some pet project or
to get that prominence in the House
THAI he thinks he deserves becomes an
opponent TO the Speaker. Every man
who is not able to carry out the exuber-
ant promises that he made to his con-
stituents during his campaign goes back
home to rail against Cannon and excuse
himself for his nenperformance by lay
ing the blame upon the Speaker. 1t is
so easy for every glib talker to excuse
his own shortcomings and failings, his
lack of ability and his shortage In legis-
Iative wisdom by blaming the head of
the House, that he cannot resist the
temptation OF course, all the Demo-
Gratis abuse the Speaker and the rules
of the House. as they always have done.
and shallow and weak-kneed Republi-
cans join in the clamor for the sake of
yelling with the crowd. The sober sense
of the country is now fully understand
ing this and estimating Speaker Can
mons assailants at their true worth.
They have made the Speaker a bugaboo
precisely as a few years ago they made
the Crime of '73" a bogy to carry the
unthinking off their feet. The reaction
is coming as it did from the silver
craze, and Speaker Cannon will emerge
from the ordeal.
