I REUNIONS OF THE VETERANS, At this poriod of the year the most interesting events to millions of the American peoploare the reunions of the members of the Grand Army of the Re- public. 1n every state where theso as- sociations of the veterans of the union army exist thoy are preparing for the annual gatherir at which the old soldiers renew the pledges of comrade- ship, recall the incidents and experi- ences of urmy life, and talk over those things which relate to their intorests and wants. Every recurrence of these meetings finds the ranks of the veterans reduced, but the survivors find no less plensure in grasping the hands of com- rades and going ngain over the story of tho hardships and privations and saeri- fices of a soldier’s life in time of war. The annual encampment of the Grand Army of Nebraska will be held at Grand Island during the week from August 20 to Septembor 3, the proparations for the ev.nt being now practically eompleted. The promise is that it will bo in every respect n succoss, There are 272 posts in the state, having a membership of 8,400, and undoubtedly every post will bo represented in the encampment. It ought to be safe to say that at least half the veterans belonging to the Grand Army of the Republic in Nebraskn will 20 to the encampment, and very likely there will be a greater number. At any rate, there is overy indication that this will be one of tho memorable meetings of the vetorans of Nebraska. The event which chiclly engrosses the attention and interest of the old soldiers everywhere is the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic to be held in Washington next month, The most elaborate preparations have been made for this event, which the com- mander-in-chief, General Palmer, says is to be |h| ‘nigh water mark” in Grand Army e tion Tens of thousands of veterans wil ail themselves of this ocousion to visit the nation’s capital, and undoubtedly there will be there the largest assemblage of union soldiers since the encampments of the Grand Army of the Republic were inaugurated, twenty-six yours ngo.. Muany thousands of those who marched in the grand re- view of the armics after the close of the war have not seon Washington since. The recollection of that trimmphal march n]nul)!l\-« lingers with them still, and g to the scenes of that triumph will naturally bring out an immer throng of the veterans. Ample prepa- ratioas are being made for their enter- tainment 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 and patriotism are interested in these events, which contribute so much to the pleasure of the men whose valor pre- ved the union. Thoy aro passing way, and not many years hence thero will be none left to hold reunions. The record of their patriotism, their courage and their sacrifices will remain, an im- perishable example to the friends of republican institutions, but while any of them survive they should receive the highest consideration which a grateful people ean bestow AFRAID OF THE Senators Gorman and [tansom, in be- half of the demoeratic eampaign com- mittee, ve written to Charles A. Dana, approving his position upon the *‘force bill,” acknowledging that he is ri declaring it to be the prime issue of the campaign, and asking him to w chapter on it for the democratic cam aign book. Mr. Dana declines to do the work, but suggests that Senator David B. Hill woula be the right man to select for that important duty. Here is what Mr. Dana says in his reply to the cor mittee concerning the ‘“*force bill:” It 1s very gratifying and encouraging to me to find that you approve the ground upon which 1 bave endeavored to place the presi- dential canvass, and that you also regard the forco bill s the one vital and all-important issue of the contest. In my opinion it is the only question which unites the domocracy and defeats the republicans; and if the great vody of the democrats will adhere to it steadily and leave overy other point of cou- troversy in the comparative unimpcrtancoe where all such points now really beloug, the suceess of tho party may be regarded as well as assured. it becomes more apparent from day to day that the managers of the democratic campaign are alarmed by the unpopu- larity of the free trade plunk in the platform upon which they stand in this campaign. The need of n rallying cry that will not give offense to that large portion of the party which derives a benufit from the protective tarifi is now recognized. Mr. Dana has been shrewd enough to perceive that the free trade iden is dangerous, and that the democracy can only hope to win by teumping up an issue for the purpose of distracting public atention from the un- fortunate anti-protection position which democratie party took in its na- mal convention. He is himself a pro- tectionist, and umstances ren- dered it Judicious for his newsvaper to tuke the democratic side this year, in spite of his known hostility to My, Clave- land, he lost no time in pointing out the “force bill” as the only issue of the campnign, [t happens that this meas- ure died in the last congress and has no prospect of revival, but that mukes no differ IPor democratic campaign purposes it answers every requirement. The fact that a bill was 'ntroduced in congress providing for the better pro- tection of the ballot box in the south is cheerfully accepted by the democrats as the chief issue of the campaign. he S, which is never sincero in anything which it says in bohalf of Cleveland, hus sot up the ery of “*force bill” and **negro domination,” and it appears that this is ollicially accopted as the slogan of the democracy. There is an element of sa m in the suggostion of Mr. Dana that David 13 Hill bo chosen to write 4 chupter on the “*force bill” for the democratic cam- paign book. Dana wus the chief cham- pion of Hill us a candidate for the presi- dentinl nomination and his attacks upon Clovelund wore extremoly bitter, Both Hill and Dana were vigorously sat upon by the Cloveland element But it now comes ubout that Duoa is recoguized by the democratic campaiga committee, and instead of nccopting the commission offered him ho recomwends Hill as his substitute, Lt wili not be believed that Mr. Dana as civ nee. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE is serious in his denunciation of the “force bill.” He 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 t.s tariff issue. This is characteristic enough. Whenever an issuo arises which affords an opportunity to appenl to the reason and intelligonce of the people the republicans al have the advantage. The democrats prefer to appeal to the passions and prejudices of the ignorant. PROMISES NOT FULFILLED. The adjournment of the Fifty-secona congress naturally suggests compari- sons botween its logislative achiove- ments and those of tha proceding con- gross. The democratic majority in the houss was larger than the whole op- position yote, and yot congress adjourned after making largec appropriations than any of its predecessors, and it can- not be said vhat it enacted any meas- ures of importance. It is significant that the democrats in congress, though they opposed the pro- tective idea and vigorously untagonized it upon every opportunity, still did not dare to proposo & measure to take its place. The democratic mujority bogan by proposing numerous measures for the duction of the cost of maintaining the government, but no saving has boon of- fected. The last duys of the house of ropreseatatives wore spent in filibustor- ing against the World’s fair. The American people did not sympathizo with such work, because it was plainly seen that scctional interests wore at stake. The democrats in congress have done nothing that can entitlo them to consideration. AMERIC NPBUILDING. The decay of the American morchant marine and the supremacy which Grent Brituin has gained in the ocean car ing trade have often been commented upon to the discredit of this country There is no good renson why our mor- chant marine should not again become what it was forty years ago, the great- est in the world, and e n of the hoped for vevival will be wolcomed by all patriotic American citizens. There are now indications of renewed activity in shipbuilding in this country. Some of the largest and finest steel sailing ships in the world are now in procoss of construction in Maine, where the hest wooden yessels that ever sailed the seas have been built in past years. And now it is reported that the Cramps of Phila- delphin have been given the contract for the building of the two new ocean gray- hounds to be added to the fleev of the Inman steamship company. They will be of 11,000 tons hurden each and will be faster and finer in every way than the resent vessels running in the service of the Inman line. The Cramps claim that they can build vessels equal in overy re- spect to the City of New York and the City of Paris, and they are confident that they can turn out ships that will lower the present transatlantic records. It is a well koown fact that naval architecture has advanced more rapidly in this country than anywhere else in the world. We have built the fastest yachts, the fastest clipper ships and the fustest steamers of the smaller classes, and in every point of construction they are equal to the best produced by for- eign builders. With the encouragement which a protective tariff gives them. theve is no reason why the shipbuilders of this country should not compete with the world. If the new Inman liners aro built in the United States, as it is now believed they will be, the world will be shown what this country can do in that direction, PROFITS OF PRO 10N, An exumplé of the influence of the protective tarill is afforded by the ad- vertisement of the Board of Trade in a Conneeticut town of 22,000 1nhabitants offering'from $50,000 to $100,000 to any established manufacturing concern that will employ its surplus labor. ‘I'his is a bid for tho establishment of an industry that will afford employment to the American leborer. If it were not for the protective tavilf such an offer would never be made. Without protection it would be impossible for any concern en- gaged in manufacturing in this country to compete with Kurope upon even terms, and much less would it be possi- blo to forfeit thousaads of dollars to e: tablish competing industries here for the profitable employment of our work- ingmen. I'ree 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 and the working people of the United States. This is only one of the many proofs that the protective tariff is advanta- geous to the American people, PROCLA'MED. Presidont Harrvison has issued his proclamation imposing retalintory toils RETALIATION on Canadian vessels passing American canals, as authorized by act of congress. The president has not been hasty in this matter. It is more than two months since he called the at- tention of congress to the Canadian dis- crimination aguinst American vessel made in plain violation of treaty obliga- through gavions, and it is more than a month sinco congress authorized retalintory mensures. The Canadian authorities therefore had ample time to cosider and decide what they would do in the matter, snd they must have boeen fully satisfied of the determination of the president to put retaliation into effect, in e they failed to stop the discrimi- nation within a reasonable time. The Canadian government did come 10 a decision, which was to continue its objeciionable policy during the present season, witha promise or intimation that different arrangemonts would boe made next yeur. The reason given for this decision, which was a virtual avoid- unce of the issue, was the fact that under the existing arrangements contracts had been made and a change would work inconvenience amd loss to vessel owners. If the Canadian authorities had any idea thatGuch dealing with the question would be satisfactory to the United States govesnment, they had very little conception of the serious SUNDAY view tuken by congress and the presi- dent, and shareg in by the whole Amer- ican poople, of Bheir porsistent denial of the treaty rightffof American citi- zens. A plainfostraightforward issue was presented, and they ought to have understood that this government would submit to no evasion or shuffling. What- ever their motive might have been as to the possibility of ine United States gove ornment making apy further conces: sion, to the injur its own oitizons, thay have now lg#fhod that they were mistaken, It is not easy to say what will follow. Tt is probable that n groat pressure will be brought to baar upon the Canadian authorities to inducs them to recedo from their decision and concede the demands of the United States. The railroads of Canada are siid to be greatly in foar of logislation affecting their business interests in this country and they will doubtless use their in- fluenco with the Canadian government. The United States government wants only what is just and when that is secured there will bo an end to the diffi- culty. AMERICAN CHURCHE Mr. Robert P. Portor, superintendent of the census, delivered an address a fow days ago in which he gave much our- ious nnd intoresting information regard- ing the churches of the United States, It appears that thero are nearly 150 soparnta and distinet church organi tions, holding to widely different creeds, varying greatly in practice, and repre- sonting all possible varintions of church polity. There are a dozen different branches of the Presbyterian family. There are some denominations that will answer only to the simplest, most in- definite title—for example, the Broth- ren. There are various churches that claim to be simply Brethren. Some of the denominations were never numhered before, and it required the utmost powers of persuasion to induco them to submit to the process. Sects have been found and enumerated who cluim less than 100 communicants. . The statisties of the numerical strength of the churches are not yvet complete, but it is estimated that the number of com- municants aggregate about 20,000,000, a little loss than one-third of the popula- tion. Nearly three-fourths of these be- long to the Roman Catholie, the Metho- dist and the Baptist churchss. More than 30 per cont are Catholics, more than 20 per cent Methodists, and close to the latter arve the Baptists. The Presbyterians and Lutherans, which aroe nearly equal, number but little more each than one-fourth the Methodists. The Bpiscopalians are fewer still, as are also the Congregationalists. There has been a,great increase in the number of church edifices and the ueof church propérty in forty years. In 1850 there were 38,183 churches and in 1800 142,256, the value of church vroperty at these respective periods being, in round numbers, $87,000,000 and 861,000,000, The Methodists stood firs in 1850 and still rétain the lead. Nearly one-third of all the church edifices he- long to that denomination, while the Baptists can lay claim to more than one- fourth. In 1850 the Catholic church stood fifth in the value of its church property, whereas mow it stands second, and not very far pehinda the Methodist church Both the Presbyterians and the Episcopalians are richer in church property than the Baptists, though the latter have a greator number of church edifices than both of the others. The three great churches in the United States, so far as numerical strength is concerned, are the Roman Catholic, the Methodist and the Baptist, their membership aggregating not far from 14,000,000, and it is to be presumed that they are making more rapid pro- gress now than any of the other denomi- nations. The fact that in all the churches of the country there are 20,- 000,000 communicants, or about one in three and one-quarter of the population, will perhaps be regarded even by zeulous churchmen as a favorable indication of the religious tendencies of the Ameri- can peovle. LEAGUE OF THE IROQUOIS, As long as the stories of J. Fenimore Cooper remuin popular among Ameri- ders 8o long will interest in the ations of Indians in 'w York nue. Cooper’s red man not the rvation Indian of the west and his » obtained from the Five, now , Nations whooveupied the region Lawrence river westward to the the Si oxtending from the St. to the Carolinas and Mississippi. These Indians were un- questionably the finest specimens of American Indian manbood which the race hasafforded. They have a relation to the other tribes and nations of thoir color not unlike that of the ancient Greeks and Romins to the Caucasinn civilizution of their period. They were brave, honest fellows, self-governed, high-minded, haughty and unconguer- able. They were faithful friends and dreaded enemies. They extorted from the whites treaties and concessions the like of which have not since been ex- ecuted, and excapt in Indian territory among the five civilized tribes have no parallel. The most marvelous feature of all, perhaps, is the fadt that the Indians of these nations continug to inhabit the sume soctions of New York and Canada, have the same law# and rules of conduct and in many insfances adhore to the same religious belief as when over 200 years ago they owndd the lakes, the forests and the yallays now swarming with whites. Furthermore, it appears fairly well sottled tha} thore are more Indians in the Six, Nations today than ever before since’‘the whites camo among them. Thaso and other facts make a special ballesin issued by the ansus bureau, devoted entirely to the New York Indians, very interesting. The league of the Iroquois bound into one powerful Indian nation the Mo hawis, the Oneidas, the Senecas, the Cayugas and the Onondagas. Alter- wards the Tuscarovars were admitted, making the Six Nations, The original compact was made before the whites came to New York and it cootinues with moditications to this day. The vi- tality of this people and the tenacity with which they cling to their traditions, even whilo adopting or accepting chauges, huve no parallel in aboriginal AUGUST 21, 1 2--SIXTEEN life. The census of 1800 shows that there are 73887 Indians belonging to these Six Nations in the United States and 8,483 in Canada. The total number in America in 1890 was 15,870. In 1690 the number in this great loaguo of sav agos was 12,850, In 1700 there wore 7430, In 1877 there wore 13,668 It will be observed that the number has actually increased. These interesting descendants of a proud and conquering race are inde- pendent nations to this day. Of the total Indian population in New York today. not including the Oneidas, who ara not on reservations, numbering only 2,844 sponk tho English lang Theve are twelve churchos on the six New York reservations and 1,074 are communicants in some Christian church. All the rest are pagan Schools have been maintained for many yoars witn varying success, and yet with accommo- dations for 1,025 pupils and 1,429 children of school agoe, the highest attendance for any one day during 1890 was but 714, and the average attendance daily 306. Yot thore are few paupors. fower criminals and few crimes. But sixteon persons out of the total of 5,138 wore im- prisoned for offenses ngainst porson or property during 1800. The averago longevity is higher than among the whites, tnd in the scale of domestic morals they have no cause to be'aghamed in comparing statistics with their pale- faced brethren. They are not so thrifty as the whites and fall far below them in average intelligence, but in most other particulars they aro the equals of their neighbors and in some particulars their superiors. The reservations of the Six Nations contain 87,3 3 ueres with a population of 5,203, or 16.78 acres for each person, and the land is valued at $1,810,699.60. ach reservation isas independent by treaty asare tho several states of the union. The advanced or progressive Indians on these reserves desive to be absorbed into the population of New York. They wish all barriers broken down, the Knglish language taught, the Christian reiigion cspoused, and. the occupations of the white men engaged in. The pagan party oppose progress mn evory way, and cherish the religion of their ancestors, indulge in their dances and fensts and hold back their neighbors by every means known to sonservatism. Strangely enough, the pugans are the best politicians and they are the governing rty in these rbaric republic As three-fourths of the mothers and three-fourths of the men aro required to pass laws and olect- ofticers it is difficalt to overturn their authovity and influenco. A struggle is now tuking place betweon these conflict- ing elements and on the ultimate result of this will depend tho future of t! > New York Indians, If the progressive party wins it will be a step toward tho ultimate disintegration of the tribes, allotment of the reservations and ab- sorption of the members of the lengue of the Troquois into the boly of the people of New York. If the other faction maintains itself the present conditions will continue until, at some future time, either through death ol old leaders or rapid advancement among the youth, the power of the nonprogressives is brolken.

These gentlemen last winter did mo inteiligent worlk in the direction of ex- tending a1d to the noedy than has been done by any other means in this city.
