At this period of the ycnr the most
Interesting event ? to millions of the
American people nro the reunions of the
members of the Grand Army of the Re
public. In every state where these as-
5oclatlons of the veterans of the union
army exist they nro preparing for the
annual gatherings nt which the old
soldiers renew the pledges of cnmrado-
ship , recall the Incidents nnd experi
ences of army Hfo , nnd talk ever those
things which rolnto to their Interests
nnd wants. Every recurrence of these
meetings llnds the ranks of the veterans
reduced , but the survivors find no less
pleasure In grasping the hands of com
rades nnd going ngain ever the story of
the hardships and privations and s.ierl-
flces of n soldier's life in time of wnr.
The annual encampment of the Grand
Army of Nebraska will bo hold nt Grand
Island during the week from August " 3
to September i ) , the preparations for the
OV' nt being now practically completed.
The promise Is that It will bo In every
respect n success There nro 272 posts
in the state , having a membership of
8.-100. and undoubtedly every post will
bo represented In the encampment. It
ought to bo safe to say that at least half
the veterans belonging to the Grand
Army of the Republic in Nobraskn will
go to the encampment , nnd very likely
llioro will be a greater number. At any
rale , llioro is every Indication that this
will bo one of the memorable meetings
of the veterans of Nebraska.
The event which chiolly engrosses the
attention and inlorosl of the old soldiers
everywhere is the national encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic to
bo hold in Washington next month. Tlio
most elaborate preparations have boon
made for this event , which the com-
mandor-in-chlof , General Palmer , snys
is to bo the "high water mark" in Grand
Army celebrations. Tons of thousands
of votor.ms will avail themselves of this
occasion lo visil Iho nation's capital ,
nnd undoubtedly there will bo there the
largest assemblage of union soldiers
feiiico the encampmonls of Iho Grand
Army of the Republic were inaugurated ,
twenty-six years ago. Many thousands
of those who inarched in the grand re
view of the armies after the close of the
war have not scon Washington since.
The recollection of that triumphal
march doubtless lingers with them still ,
and a visit lo Iho scones of that triumph
will naturally bring out an immense
throng of the veterans. Ample prepa
rations are being made for their enter-
lainmcnt and a week of enjoyment is
promised those who participate in the
encampment that will fully repay them
for the visit.
All men who honor loyalty nnd
patriotism nro interested in those events ,
which contribute so much to the
pleasure of the men whoso valor preserved -
served the union. They nro passing
away , and not many years hence there
will bo none loft to hold reunions. The
record of their patriotism , thelrcourngo
and their sacrifices will remain , an im
perishable example to the friends of
republican instilutions , but while any
of them survive they should receive the
highest consideration which a grateful
people can bestow.
.iriiAW oi < ' rut ; nwi ;
Senators Gorman and Ransom , in be
half of the domocrntio eampiign com-
imlleo. have written to Charles A. Dana ,
approving his position upon the "force
bill"acknowledging that lie is right in
declaring it lobe the prime issue of the
campaign , and asking him to write a
chapter on it for the democratic cam
paign book. Mr. Dana declines lo do the
work , but suggests that Senator D.ivid
B. Hill woula bo the right man to select
for that important duty. Here is what
Mr. Dana eaya in his reply to the com
mittee concoi nlng the "force bill : "
It la very gratifying ana oncournplnc to mete
to find that you approve the ground upon
which 1 have ondouvorod to place thn prosl-
dontial canvass , and that you also regard the
force bill us the otic vital aud all-Important
Issue of the contest. In my opinion It Is tbu
only question which uuitos the democracy
and defeats the republicans ; nnd If the great
Oody of the democrats will a-lliero to It
steadily and leave every other point of con
troversy In the comparative unlmpcrtnnco
whore nil such points now really belong , the
sur'cosi of the party may bo regarded n * woli
as assured.
It becomes more apparent from day to
day that the managon , of the democratic
campaign are alarmed by the unpopu
larity of the frco trade olnnic in the
platform upon which they stand in this
campaign. Tlio need of a rallying cry
that will not give oll'enso to thai largo
portion of the party which derives n
bonulit from the protective tarill is now
recognized. Mr. Dana has been
whrowd enough to perceive that the free
trade Idea is dangerous , nnd that the
democracy can only hope to win by
trumping up an issue for the purpose of
distracting publln intention from the un
fortunate nntl-protoelion position which
the democratic party took in its na
tional convention. Ho is himself a pro
tectionist , nnd ns clrcuniHtniices ren
dered it Judicious for bib nowsoapor to
lake the democratic dido this year , in
splto of his known hostility to Mr. Clave-
hind , he lost no time in pointing out the
"force bill" ns the only Issue of the
campaign. It happens that- this moas-
tire died in the last congress and has no
prospect of revival , but that makes no
difference. For democratic campaign
purposes it answers every requirement.
The fact that a bill was 'ntroducod in
congress providing for the bettor pro-
leclion of the Imllol box in the south is
cheerfully nccoptod by the democrats ns
the chief issue of the campaign. The
im , which is never sincere In anything
which it says In behalf of Cleveland , has
tot up the cry of "force blll"and "negro
domination , " nnd it appears that this is
olllcially accepted ns Iho slogan of the
democracy.
There is an clement of sarcasm in the
buggostion of Mr. Dana that David U
Hill bo chosen to unto a chapter on
Iho "forco bill" for the doinocr.Ulo cam
paign book. Dana wus the chief cham
pion of Hill ns iv candidate for the presi
dential nomination and his attacks upon
Cleveland wore oxtremuly bitter. Doth
Hill and Dana wore vigorously sat upon
by the Cleveland element Hut it now
comes about that Dana is recognized by
the democratic campaign committee ,
nnd instead of accepting thu commission
offered him he recommends Hill ns his
tmlmtlluto.
It will not bo bulluvod that Mr. Dana
la serious in his denunciation of the
"forco bill. " Ho knows very well that
it Is Impossible to create any general In
terest In the bugbear. But it Is signifi
cant that the democratic national cam
paign committee has acknowledged that
the democracy cannot depend upon tao
tariff issue. This Is characteristic
oiiough. Wlionovor an issue arises
which affords an opportunity to nppoal
to Iho reason and intelligence of the
pcoplo the republicans always have the
advantage. The democrats prefer to
appeal to the passions and prejudices ol
the ignorant.
riiOMlSRS XOT VUl.Vtl.T.KD.
The adjournment of the Fifty-sceonti
congress naturally suggests compari
sons between its legislative achieve
ments nnd those of the preceding con
gress. The democratic majority In the
housj was larger than the whole op
position yoto , nndyot congress adjourned
nftor making larger appropriations
than any of its predecessors , nnd it can
not bo s-iid that It enacted any meas
ures of Importance.
It Is significant that the democrats In
congress , though they ouposod the pro-
loctlvo Idea and vigorously antagonized
It upon every opportunity , ptlll did not
dnro to propose a measure to take Its
place. The democratic nvijority began
by proposing numerous measures for the
reduction of the cost of maintaining the
government , but no saving has boon ef
fected. The last days of the house of
roprosontallvcs wore spent in filibuster
ing against the World's fnlr. The
American pcoplo did not sympathize
with such work , because it was plainly
scon that sectional interests wore at
Ht'iUo. The democrats in congress have
done nothing that can entitle them to
consideration.
AMKlllC.i.N Sllll'ltUlhOl .
The decay of the American merchant
mnrino and the supremacy which Great
Britain has gained In the ocean carry
ing trade have often boon commented
upon lo Iho discredit of this country.
There is no good reason why our mer
chant marine should not ngain become
what it was forty years ago , the groat-
osl in the world , and every sign of the
hoped for revival will bo welcomed by
nil patriotic American citizens. There
nro now indications of renewed activity
in shipbuilding in this country. Some
of the largest and finest stool sailing
ships in the world are now in process of
construction in Maine , where the best
wooden vessels that ever sailed the sons
have been built in past years. And now
it in reported that the Cramps of Phila
delphia have boon given the contract for
the building of the two now ocean gray-
hounds to ho added to the Ilooi of the
Imnitn steamship company. They wil I
bo of 11,000 Ions burden each and will
bo faster and finer in every way than the
present vessels running in the service of
the Intnnn lino. Tlio Cramps claim that
they can build vessels equal in every re
spect to the City of Now York and the
City of Paris , and they nro confident
that they can turn out ships that will
lower the present transatlantic record ? .
It is a well known fact that naval
architecture has advanced more rapidly
in this country than nnywhero else in
the world. Wo have built the fastest
yachts , the fastest clipper ships and the
fastest steamers of the smaller classes ,
and in every point of construction they
are equal lo Iho best produced by for
eign builders. With the encouragement
which a protective tariff gives them ,
there is no reason why the shipbuilders
of this country should not compote with
the world. If the now Inmau liners are
built in the United States , ns it is now
believed they will bo , the world will bo
shown what Ibis country can do in that
direction.
PROFITS OF PROTECTION.
Aii examples of the inlluenco of the
protective tarilT Is afforded by the ad
vertisement of the Board of Trade in a
Connecticut town of 22,000 inhabitants
olforing'from $50,000 to 8100,000 lo any
established manufacturing concern that
will employ its surplus labor. This is a
bid for the establishment of an industry
that will nll'ord employment to the
American laborer. If It wore not for Iho
protective tariff such an offer would
never bo made. Without protection it
would bo impossible for any concern engaged -
gaged in manufacturing in this country
lo compnlo witn Europe upon oven
terms , nnd much loss would it bo possi
ble to forfeit thousands of dollars to es
tablish competing industries here for
the profitable employment of our work-
ingmon.
I'Yco trade would certainly prostrate
all Industries in this country , but pro
tection encourages manufacturers to in
vest their money in enterprises that
will benefit themselves nnd the working
people of the United States.
Tills Is only ono of the many proofs
that the proteclivo tariff is advanta
geous to the American pooplo.
WWCh.l M/7-7D
President Harrison hns issued his
proclamation imposing retaliatory tolls
on Canadian vessels passing through
American canals , 113 nuthorl/.ud by act
of congress. The president has not
been hasty in this matter. It is more
than two months slnco ho called the at
tention of congress to the Canadian dis
crimination against American vessels ,
made in plain violation of treaty obliga-
gations , und it is more than a month
since congress tuithorl/.od retaliatory
measures. The Canadian authorities
thorefoio had ample time to consider
and decide whxt they would do in the
matter , unu they must have boon fully
satisfied of the determination of the
president to put retaliation Into effect ,
in case they failed to stop the discrimi
nation within a reasonable timo.
The Canadian government did come
to a decision , which was to continue Its
objectionable policy during the present
season , with a promise or intimation
that dilfoiMiit arrangements would bo
made next year. The reason given for
this declbion , which was a virtual avoid-
anuo of the Issue , was the fact that under
Iho existing arrangements contracts
had boon mndo and a change would
work inconvenience nnd loss to vessel
owners. If the Canadian authorities
had any idea tliatfaiuili dealing with the
question would bo satisfactory to the
United States government , they had
very little conception of the serious
view taken by congress and the presi
dent , and shared In by the whblo Amer
ican people , of ahoir persistent denial
of tlio treaty ri-htsi of American citi
zens. A plalnft atrnlghtforwArd Issue
was presented , nnd they ought to have
understood Hint this government would
submit to no evasion or shuflllng. What
ever their motive might have boon ns to
the possibility oflho United States g > v-
eminent making any further conces
sion , to the injury B Its own citizens ,
they have now toArnod that they wore
mistaken. &
It is not easy to sny what will follow.
It Is probable that a great pressure will
bo brought to boar upon the Canadian
aulhorlllos to induce them to recede
from their decision nnd concede the
demands of the United States. The
railroads of Canada are sUd to bo
greatly in fear of legislation affecting
their business interests In this country
and they will doubtless use their in
fluence with the Canadian government
The United Stales government wants
only what is just and when that Is
secured there will bo an end"to thn diffi
culty.
AMKittoAX rnunciiEts.
Mr. Robert P. Porter , superintendent
of the census , dolivorodan address a few
days ago In which ho gave much cur
ious nnd interesting Information regard
ing the churches of the United States.
It appears that there are nearly 150
separate nnd distinct church organiza
tions , holding to widely dlfforonlcroeds ,
varying greatly in practice , and repre
senting nil possible variations of church
polity. There nro n dozen different
branches of the Presbyterian faintly.
There are some denominations that will
answer only to the simplest , most In
definite title for example , the Breth
ren. There nro various churches'that
claim to bo simply Brethren.
Some of the denominations wore never
numlkored before , nnd It required the
utmost powers of persuasion to induce
them to submit to the process. Soots
have boon found nnd enumerated who
claim loss than 100 communicants. The
st'itistics of the numerical strength of
the churches are not yet complete , but
it is estimated that the number of com-
munlcanls aggregate about 20,000.000 , a
llttlo loss than one-third of the populn-
tion. Nearly throe-fourths of those belong -
long to the Roman Catholic , the Metho
dist nnd the Bvptist churohos. Moro
than 30 nor cent are Catholics , moro
than 20 per cent Methodists , and close
to the latter are the Baptists. The
Presbyterians nnd Lutherans , which are
nearly equal , number but little moro
each than one-fourth the Methodists.
The Episcopalians are fewer still , as are
also the Congrogationr.lists.
There has been a ) great increase In
the number of church edifices and the
value of church property In forty years.
In 1850 there worp 38:183 : churohos and
in 1890 142,250 , io value of church
property at those respective periods
bolng , In round numbers , $87,000,000 and
$ ou,000.000. ; The Methodists stood first
in 18JO and still retain" the load. Nearly
one-third of all the church edifices belong -
long to that denomination , while the
Baptists can lay claim to moro than one-
fourth. In 1850the1 Catholic church
stood fifth in the value of its church ,
properly , whorons ( now it stands' second ,
and not very far oohind the Methodist
church. Both the Presbyterians nnd
the Episcopalians are richer in church
property than the Baptists , though the *
latlor have n groalor number of church
edifices than both of the others.
The three great churches in the
United Stales , so far as numerical
strength is concerned , are the Roman
Catholic , the Methodist and the Baptist ,
their membership aggregating not far
from 1-1,000,000 , and it is to bo presumed
that they are making moro rapid pro
gress now than any of Iho other denomi
nations. The fact that In all the
churches of the country there are 20- ,
000,000 communicants , or about ono in
three and ono-quartor of the population ,
will perhaps bo regarded oven by zealous
churchmen as a favorable indication of
Iho religious tendencies of the Ameri
can pcoplo.
LBAdUK O/- ' TUB IHOQITOIS.
As long as the stories of J. Fonimoro
Cooper remain popular among Ameri
can readers so long will interest in the
Five Nations of Indians in Now York
continue. Cooper's rpd man is not Iho
reservation Indian of the west and his
ideals were obtained from the Five , now
the Six , Nalions whooccupiod Iho region
extending from Iho SI. Lawrence river
lo Iho Carolinas nnd westward to the
Mississippi. Those Indians were un
questionably the finest specimen"-
American Indian manhood which ho
race has afforded. They have a relation
to the otlu.tr tribes and nations of their
color not unlike that of the ancient
Greeks and Rom ins to the Caucasian
civilization of their period. They were
bravo , honest follows , self-governed ,
hlirh-mlnded , haughty and unconquor-
ablo. They were faithful friends and
dreaded enemies They extorted from
the whites treaties and concessions the
like of which have not since boon ex
ecuted , and except in Indian territory
among the five clvlll/cd tribes have no
parallel. t
The most marvelous feature of all ,
perhaps , is the fadt'that the Indians of
those nations eontlt'iuq to inhabit the
same sections of Now York nnd Canada ,
have the same InwfrhnU rules of conduct
and in many ln | .ancos adhere to the
same religious belief as when over 200
years ngo they fowhftl ( the lakes , the
forests and the V/ilIoys now swarming
with whltns. Furthermore , It appears
fairly well settled Jha there are moro
Indians in the Slxi'Nations today than
ever before slnee' 'tllo whites cimo
among thorn. Thjfso j , and other facts
make a special bulletin Issued by the
census bureau , devoted entirely to the
Now York Indians , very Interesting.
The league of tlio Iroquols bound into
ono powerful Indian nation the Mo
hawks , the Onoidaa , the Sonccas , the
Cnyugas and the Onondagag. Afterwards -
wards the Tuscarorars were admitted ,
making the Six Nations , The original
compact was made boford the whites
came to Now York nnd it continues
with modifications to this day. The vi
tality of this people and the tenacity
with which they cling to their traditions ,
oven while adopting or accepting
changes , have no parallel in aboriginal
life. The census of J890 shows Hint
there nro 7,387 Indians belonging to
those Six Nations In the United States
and 8,483 In Canada. The tolnl number
in America in 1890 was 16,870. In 1(190 (
the number in this great league of sav
ages was 12,850. In 1700 there were
7.130. In 1877 there were 13,008. It
will bo observed that the number has
actually increased.
Those interesting descendants of a
proud and conquering race Hro inde
pendent iritloas to this day. Of the
tolal Indian population In Now York
today , not Including the Onoldns , who
are noton reservations , numbering5,133 ,
only 2,811 speak the English language.
There are twelve churches on the six
Now York reservations and 1,074 are
communicants In some Christian church.
All the rest are pigans. Schools have
boon maintained for many years witn
varying success , and yot. with accommo
dations for 1,02-5 pupils and 1,129 children
of school ago , the highest attendance for
any ono day during 1890 was but 714 , and
the average attendance dally 300.
' Yet there are few paupers , fewer
criminals nnd few crimes. Hut sixteen
persons out of the tot'il of 5,133 were im
prisoned for offenses ngainst person or
property during 1890. The nvorngo
longevity la higher than among the
whites , Und in the scnlo of domestic
morals they have no cause lo bo'nshamed
In comparing slallslics with their pnlo-
faced brethren They are not so thrifty
ns the whites and fall far below them In
nvorngo Intelligence , but In most other
particulars they are the equals of their
neighbors nnd in some particulars their
superiors.
The reservations of the Six Nations
contain 87,327.73 ncros with a population
of 5,203 , or 10.78 acres for each person ,
and the hind is valued at 81,810,099.00.
Each reservation is ns independent by
Iroaly as are Iho several states of the
union. The advanced or progressive
Indians on these resnrves desire to bo
absorbed into the population of New
YorlcT They wish all barriers broken
down , the English language taught , the
Christian religion espoused , mid. the
occupations of the white men engaged
in. The pagan party oppose progress
in every way , and cherish the religion
of their ancestors , indulge in their
dances and feasts and hold back their
neighbors by every moans known to
savage conservatism. Strangely enough ,
the pagans are the host politicians and
they are the governing party in these
"barbaric republics. " As throe-fourths
of the mothers and throe-fourths of the
men are required lo pass laws and oloi-U
olllcors il is difficult to overturn their
authority and influence. A struggle Is
now taking place between those conlllet-
ing elements and on the ultimalo result
of this will depend the future of these
Now York Indians. If the progressive
party wins it will bo a stop toward the
ultimalo disintegration of the tribes ,
allotment of the reservations nnd ab
sorption of the members of the league of
the Iroquois into the boly of the people
of Now York. If the other faction
maintains itself the present conditions
will continue until , at seine future time ,
either through death of , old loaders or
rapid advancement among the youth ,
the power of the nonprogrossivos is
broken.
TIIK commendable efforts of some of

ized charities is deserving of oncourairo-
monl nt the hands of all good citizens.
These gentlemen Inst winter did moro
intelligent work in the direction of extending -
tending aid to the needy than has been
done by any other moans in this city.
That they will receive the hearty sup
port of all our citizens goes withoutsay-
ing , for there are hundreds of well-to-do
people who are willing to contribute
money and clothing with the assurance
that what they give will go to worthy
objects of charity.

The article over which .Ittdgo Botkin and

yesterday was published in the National
Watchman of Alnv lust. H was ono of a
soi'ios which tlio nlllaiuo congressman con
tributed , each supposed to bo writing about
his own district. Here Is what Jerry wrote :
"Tho coal , the iron , the copper , silver , salt
and oil have all passed Into the hands of the
foe and labor has to bog leave of these who
have robbed thorn of their inheritance for
lonvo to wont. The poor privilege of pro
ducing wealth is graciously granted with the
undemanding that they surrender the pro
ducts of their toll to these lords of the nation
nnd thousands denied this poor nrlvtlogo go
clothed in rags , wanting the necessities of
hfo. Under these conditions llfo become ? n
llorca und terrible struggle , inou sell their
honor , woman their virtue , children become
criminals and outcasts in a land where the
lorccs for producing wealth are so enormous
that if the people could obtain neeoss to this
vast storehouse they could feed the world
atid have nbundnncoloft. "
The remainder of the urticlo is inflamma
