war of the rebellion.
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assem-

LrNcoLN's BIRTHDAY IN FLORIDA.

Replying to the claim by the Jack
sonville tFla.) Metropolis that Lin
coins Birthday had been made a holi-
day by the State of Florida, Comrade
William James, Past Department Com
mander of Florida, q. A. R., points out
that this was not done, altho the Cow
ernor recommended 1t. A Senator
named Beard moved to lay the Cover
nor's message on the table, claiming
that to pass such a law would be an
insult to the Confederate veterans of
Florida. Out of respect to the Cover
nor this was not done, but the recon-
mendation was not acted upon. Com
rade James says:
"Yes. Mr.. Editor. II such a law had
been enacted, It would be worth mil
lions to the State OF Florida. The
North loved Lincoln, and his memory
will live forever in their hearts, and
the recommendation of Gov. Gilchrist
will not be forgotten. What of the
Legislature? Yes, II you could truth
fully state that such a law was upon
our statutes, then Florida would be
known, as you say. and praised for her
liberal and conciliatory spirit Alas!
She made a mistake, but has time to
repent unless some other Southern State
steps in and plucks the fair diadem
from her brow"

MEMORIAL DAY IN THE SOUTH.

Commander S. Clay Brown, of the
Department of Georgia, G. A. Ro> FitZ-
gerald, Ca, writes that they have in
their Department four large National
emeteries-Andersonv Marietta,
Buford and Florence. These contain
altogether 5000 graves. and they were
all well cared for in the recent Memo
rial Day exercises. At Andersonville,
to which he gave personal attention,
they had nearly 100 baskets packed
full of flowers, and 1t took large force
to distribute them in the allotted time.
The excursion train from Fitzgerald
consisted of six well-filled coaches. AZ
ter going carefully over the cemetery
they had basket of flowers left, and
Commander and Mrs. Brown used these
to decorate the monuments of six
States; that is, of Iowa, Connecticut.

Tic Sra Brce-cs keep the Ic:npcrature
\ ;Iust Oceanic in It's Equability.
T. Frederic Davis. Assistant Director
OF the Jacksonville Station of the
Weather Bureau, gives the following
excellent description of the Summer
cline on the Florida Peninsula.
The same causes that modify the
Winter cold contribute to tempering
the heat of summer. Like the thumb
of giant hand the Florida Peninsula
extends far into the sea. and from this
fact results a climate that is almost
oceanic in its equability. The vast wa
ter areas on each side insure free
circulation of the air and a pleasant
breeze across the State almost inces-
sanity. The atmosphere does not stag
nate here. Let us describe a charac-
teristic Midsummer day and night. The
sun rises in a cloudless sky. AS he
mounts higher in the heavens the tenn
perature of the air likewise begins to
ries. About or 9 o'clock the sky be-
comes partly overcast with cumulus
Clouds while the wind freshens a lit-
tie. BY noon the temperature has
climbed well into the 90's, but the sky
is nearly overcast with clouds, which
shield the earth from the direct rays
of the sun. In the west the clouds
begin to bank, and by early afternoon
the first mutterings of thunder are
heard Gradually the sky grows dark
as the storm approaches; then the
squall comes on and the temperature
falls Is or 20 degrees in as many min
utes During the next few minutes the
lightning flashes. and the thunder rolls.
while the rain falls in torrents. All
the elements are in an uDroar. In less
than half an hour the storm passes on
to the eastward; the sun peeps out from
a clearing sky and maps it's rainbow up
on the back of the receding storm. The
air has a peculiar freshness and ex-
hilaratiOn about it now, which all Ma
ture seems to imbibe. The sun de-
clines in a clear west, but the energy
of the sunbeams is expended in the
evaporation of the surface moisture.
and not as sensible heat. Therefore,
the temperature of the air continues
relatively low. Night comes on. The
stars shine from a clOudless sky, and
a fresh breeze springs up to add further
comfort to the glorious night. The
clear sky permits an unhampered ra-
diation of heat from the ground, so
that as the night advances there comes
chill in the air that causes u.s. to draw
up the cover to keep US comfortably
warm. Finally morning dawns. to be-
gin the sequence of the preceding day.
1T must be inferred that every
day in Summer has its thunderstorms;
yet spell of weather of more than a
few days without a thunder shower Is
rare indeed. On those days that thun-
der showers do not come the wind or
dinarily increases thru the forenoon
to q fresh little gale by 2 or 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, thereafter decreasing
gradually to gentle, pleasant breeze
at night
These thunderstorms are a blessing
and not scourge. Their rains water
the ground and keep vegetation from
becoming parched, while their influ-
ence lends helping hand in making
our Summer climate not only bearable,
but pleasant as we'll"

THE Ex-PRIsoNERs OF WAR.

The following is only one of many
similar letters of which we are in con-
stant receipt:
Editor National Tribune: As one of
the many Union soldiers who for IA
months was prisoner of war, and as
such endured a great deal of bitter
suffering. not only while prisoner, but
during all the years since that time, /
write to you in behalf of my comrades
in misfortune. As you are well aware.
efforts have been made from time to
time to have the Government recognize
this class of patriots in a way that will
enable them to pass their declining
years in a fair degree of comfort, yet so
far nothing tangible has resulted. This.
of course, is not because our Legislators
are ungrateful to the men who served
the country in its hour of trouble, but
because of a multitude of bills and
press of other matters.
1t does seem. however, that the time
is fully ripe for some definite and GER
tain action by Congress; that 1t should
in some measure recompense the ex-
Union prisoners of war for their Sacri-
flee and sufferings since they returned
to their homes some "A years ago. Dur
ing all these years they have been to a
great disadvantage because of the trials
and disa Utilities endured behind the enc
my's stockade. Thru their exertions
and the exertions of many others like
them this country was saved, the Flag
was maintained and great prosperity
and development have been brought to
the land, but as rule the ex-prisoners
have participated very little in the pros
perity
May we not justly appeal to Congress
and a grateful people for some COM
pensation to those who suffered every
thing but death, and who have since
borne patiently the trials of their faith
and patriotism? Surely ii is time they
should be remembered; their days are
growing sadly short in the land which
they fought TO preserve.-W. +. Mont
gomery, Co. A, 120th Ohio, Macon, Mo.

Statements have been given out that
the original Panama Canal, as planned
by the French. has now been dug and
that only the American enlargements
remain to be excavated. The En-
gineering Magazine denies this, and
says that altho the excavation may
equal that of the French plans for the
canal, this does not complete the canal
by any means, since these excavations
were necessary to the American plan
and do not form part of the original
French plan. This enlargement is.
however, enormous, as by Presidential
order the total excavation was raised
from less than 104.000.000 yards to
175,000. 900. When the locks, dams and
other auxiliaries are considered the in-
crease is still greater.

who Immediately after the battle wrote
long letter to a friend giving an ex-
ceedingly interesting account OF the
battle, but marred by the natural in
accuracies which would come from
gathering up camp gossip Immediately
after the battle, when the facts were
ticularly offensive is that he states that
the Philadelphia Brigade, which met
Pickett's charge. ran away. throwing
down their guns and flags. This is an
illustration Of the misunderstanding of
facts too common Immediately after a
fight. The truth is that great number
of Pickett's men threw down their guns
and rushed thru the front ranks of the
Philadelphia Brigade in order to sur
render and escape the terrific fire which
the brigade was then pouring upon the
enemy in front Haskelfs narrative

Sir William Henry White, for many
years Chief Constructor of the British
Navy. has been called into consultation
by the Cunard Company With reference
to installing gas engines in their large
ships, and his advice has been against
this at the present stage of the art The
main trouble is that beyond a certain
size in gas engines the heat involved is
uncomfortable by present devices.
There has been much talk about what
could be done by gas turbine engines,
but SO far this seems to be mainly talk,
and the inventors of this type of en-
gines seem indisposed to submit their
engines to critical test at present.

degree against Gen. Grant and Secre-
tary Stanton for not acceding to Jeffer-

federate prisoners on parole and thus
enabling them to rejoin the Confederate
army as the Confederates captured at
Vicksburg did. It was wisdom of the

We have to again remind comrades
that The National Tribune cannot pub
lish speeches and addresses; cannot
publish much poetry; cannot republish
articles which have appeared in other
papers, and can pay no attention to
anonymous letters. The paper is small,
and If We attempted to publish entire
ly any speech-even that of the Presi-
dent Of the United. States-this would
take up our space to the exclusion of
other matter. We canot publish mat
ter which has appeared In other papers,
for the reason that we have a great
quantity of original matter in the Office
awaiting publication. and for which we
have difficulty in finding room. If we
attempted TO publish all the long poems
that are sent to us there would be
nothing else in the paper. Let the
comrades understand that we are all the

Darwin's famous connection between
old maids and red clover is distanced
by an association between Kansas corn
and Ceylon rubber. Nearly half of the
automobiles sold in America are bought
by farmers, mostly in the Middle West
and largely in Kansas. This business
has made the unprecedented rise in the
price of rubber to SO pound. an in
crease in two years from 65 cents. This
wonderful rise has started a mania in
London for rubber stocks. and during
the first four months of this year not
less than SOC new rubber companies
