THE SOLDIER ORGAN GRINDERs.-Gen.
Butler has made his annual report as Presl-
dent of the National Asylum for disabled SOL
diers. We commend his emphatic statement
in regard to disabled soldiers who are seen
begging or organ grinding to those hypocriti-
ell Democratic sheets that have rebuked "the
Republican administration" for suffering the
defenders of the Republic to support them
selves in that way. The following is an alb
stract of the report:
There are at this time 1902 beneficiaries in
the various sylums, as follows: At Central
Asylum, Dayton, Ohio, 1887; Eastern branch,
Augusta, Maine, 635; Northwestern branch,
Milwaukee, 425; Philadelphia branch, Phila-
delphia, 4l9; New Jersey Soldiers Home
Newark, n. j., 1923; Rochester branch, Roch-
ester, N. Y, ITO; Maryland Soldiers Home,
Baltimore, SO; Union Relief Association, N
Y, 21; New York State Home, SO; by out
door relief, SO. The report shows that most
OF the begging, organ-erinding, and other like
pursuits, so commonly INDUCED in by cripples
in the cities, are carried on by associations
which pick up all the crippIes to be found will
ling to be employed in such pursuits at starv-
ing salaries, and that these associations make
large sums of money-frequently as high a:
twenty dollars per day from each employee
out of the misguided benevolence of man
kind. The managers of the asylums also an
nounce that they have full ability and accom-
mediation to take care of every disabled sol
| dier in the United States who applies to them
that they have never refused care of sucl
| honorably-dischareed soldier in single in
stance, and that it is the fault of the soldie
if he is either supporting himself by begging
or become dependent upon aims or the CHAIR
ty of anybody, or is asking any aid from any
State in the Union. No soldier disabled il
line of his duty, and able to show it, who ha
been honorably discharged from the service
has ever been denied admittance into the asy
iums. II there are any disabled soldiers whit
are not provided for 1t is either because the,
refuse TO go to asylums, or having been, have
SO conducted themselves, after repeated warn
ings of the consequences of their conduct, a.
to become nuisances and disgrace to tb'
name of soldier, and have been therefore dis
honorably discharged or expelled.
