The Inter-Oc«an is in receipt of the ros­ ter of one old veteran regiment which started in with 1,000 men in 1861, and was from time to time recruited with 1,500 more men, and itnow masters just 147. If the growlers about "pauper pen­ sioners" will be patient the rolls will soon begin to shorten. The millions of patriotic people will continue to grudge no good thing to veterans ol „tfae okl Onion army.--Inter-Ocean. Congress has never yet awarded to the veterans of the civil war a badge or med- or button recognizing in an official manner the services of the volunteer sol­ dier and sailor. Why not? England gave her veterans in the Crimean and India campaign a medal. Germany and France have honored their heroes in like manner. And the hlBtory of all the na­ tions of the world shows the services of their veteraus were thus recognized in some form. Should the men of the great­ est war of modern times--a war which crowded centuries of progress for the lib­ erty of mankind in the present and for ages to come into four years of cruel strife--1)6 thus passed by ? ;; He Knew the8oll«. Gen. Sherman, says the Herald, unlike the majority of the great soldiers who were celebrated for plan­ ning great campaigns, possessed ready wit, and seldom met his match at re­ partee. A good story is told of a reply he made to a southern journalist during a visit to Atlanta in recent years. The journalist accosted the General and be­ gan expiotiting the quality of Georgian soil. "There is scarcely a fruit or vegetable," said he, "that cannot be successfully grown in this state. One can raise al- most.anything on such soil as this." "I believe you," replied Sherman, with a smile. "It is only a few years since I raised h on it mFself. The Grand Amy New York Times: The Grand Army in its National Encampment at Washing­ ton had one noyel experience. For the first time, we believe, in its twenty-six years of existence the annual statistics show no gain in membership--hi fact, a lost of 1,708. The report, it is true, pro­ ceeds to state that about 3,000 names were found to have been added without authority to the roll in one department, and this being corrected there was really a gain of about 1,200 for the year. But, accepting this explanation, the figures are a reminder that the wonderful growth of the organization must, in the natural course of things, be nearing its climax, even if the high-water mark in membership has not already b°en passed. It is true that there are many war vet­ erans who do not belong to the Grand Army, and who still offer, therefore, a field for recruiting its ranks. But the ravages of time tells their story, and the ebb can not now apparently long be de­ layed. The confident belief entertained a few years ago that the number of comrades would reach half a million u|ust appar­ ently now be abandoned; and yet a membership of 407,781 in good stand­ ing, or exclusive of the suspended and the delinquent, amounting to about 48,- 000 more, makes an extraordinary showing. When ebb tide comes in the numbers, it is likely to bring no slack­ ening in enthusiasm, and the survivors of the war is more likely to increase with the flight of years. Let us Wa<t and See. During the campaign just closed Mr. Cleveland made earnest protestation of love for the veterans and their dependent ones. His advocates and supporters on the stmp Mid in thepress insisted vehemently that the charges that he was inimical to the soldiers and their interests were ab- Burdly falses and that he was really the best friend they evwr had in tike White Mouse. The <fpyortunIty will soon come for de­ monstrating this. On the 4th of March ttoxt Mr. Cleveland will enter the Rni dfvttal f>»V* political iriends in both Houses of Con­ gress. This will give him a freedom of action almost unprecedented in the his­ tory of Presidents. He can practically do what he pleases, and the fate of vet­ erans is wholly in his hands. He will find many thousand ex-sol­ diers and thair widows in public office and employment, put there by the present and previous Administrations in recog­ nition of the Nation's solemn promises to those who went out to battle for their salvation. It wfll lie wholly with Mr. Cleveland to my how those promises shall be fullfilled. He will find the Civil Service rnles so ordered by President Harrison as to favor ex-soldiers in'securing public em­ ployment and promotion in the same. Mr Cleveland will quite early be called on to say whether this favor shall be con tinued and enlarged or withdrawn. He will find pension laws being admin­ istered with efficiency and libcralit; with-an average allowance of nearly 1,000 cases a day, and a more rapid set­ tlement of the vast accumulation of ca^es, with their long-due arrears-- than we ever had before. It will rest absolutely with Mr. Cleveland to say whether this process of justice shall continue with un­ abated speed, or in what respect it shall be modified. The country having declared its belief in Mr. Cleveland's professions, it be­ hooves us to accept the sincerity of the same and to await in confident hope their conscientious fulfillment. We sincerely wish that we may have the opportunity from time to time of informing our readers that President Cleveland is proving himself as good a riend to the soldiers as the supporters of candidate Cleveland earnestly asserted fthat he was.--A'afionai Tribune^ t^oktnfc for More Money."""1"" The national Republican committed, firough Chairman Thomas H. Carter, is lending out most urgent letters to the leaders of the party for funds to pay the deficiency in the national campaign fund. One of these letters to a southern member of the national committee was shown your correspondent. This letter was signed by Chairman Carter and stated that the national committee had a deficiency after the election of nearly $225,000. It stated that at the eleventh hour Republicans discovered that defeat was inevitable, and though the campaign committee had kept campaign expenses well within the limits of subscriptions thereto, it was found that subscribers who had pledged a half million dollars to the party refused to fulfill their obli­ gations, and the result is that the com­ mittee is urgently pressed to meet debts with an empty treasury. He states that after carefully considering where to get the amount the committee has made an assessment on good party men of an amount sufficient to pay the deficit. The assessment of the man who re­ ceived the letter was fixed at $1,000. He was asked to collect the money or forward it in five days by check or draft uiado payable tc OuuuG, treasurer of the committee, at his address in New York.--Mobile Cor. Louisville Courier- Journal. The Popularity of Astrology. It will surprise a large majority of readers to be told that astrology as a science is not only holding its own in England today, but has during the past ten years made such strides that it is felt by many that the "Rogues and Vagabonds" act, which prevents the casting of horoscopes for gain, will by this next parliament stand a chance of being repealed. A large number of regular profes­ sional astrologers live in London, and they one and all agree that the science has distinctly become more popular since 1886. Previous to that date they carried on their horoscopical practice in fear and trembling, but there has been no prosecution of an astrologer, qua astrologer, in England for four years now, thd last being at Bow street, when "Neptune," an intuitive seer, was mulcted in five pounds for casting a horoscope; a barrister in court, who had never seen or heard of him before, springing up to defend him gratuitously on the sole ground that he himself was a believer and a practicer of astrology. Six years ago there were no periodicals in England devoted to astrology. There are now three.--Edgar Lee in Arena. Lord Rosebery's Ambitious Success. As a young man Lord Rosebery set out with a determination of making a mark in the history of his country, and hitherto everything that he has attempt­ ed has been attended by success. He has won the Derby, he has married the rich­ est heiress in the United Kihgdom, he has become a cabinet minister, he has just been created a Knight of the Gar­ ter, and if he avoids the royal union pro­ jected he will eventually blossom forth into prime minister of the empire. On the continent his talents are held in even still greater estimation than in Eng­ land, especially at Paris and at Berlin, and he is a particular favorite of Prince Bismarck.--Chicago News-Record, The Khan of Elilva In Europe.
