YEA neighbor of mine having about
half barrel apples in his cellar. went
down one night in the-dark to- get some
of the fruit. NOV it happened that the
women folks had taken Che apples away
and placed upon. that very spot barrel
about two-thirds full of soft soap.
Jones plunged his hand down into the
soap, and drawing it forth uttered an
exclamation that was Iie6rd Inv his w;co
The National tribune., 1878-05-01

The result Of this practice has been to pay
these allowances regularly and rapidly.
But the Secretary of the Treasury has, for
reasons of his own, adopted another practice,
and permits allowed claims to accumulate in
these offices for year or more, and then asks
for a specific appropriation to pay these claims
by name
The effect Of this is to delay payment from a
year to eighteen months, and to postpone to the
creditor of the Government the amount he is
entitled to receive without any good reason to
be shown. The Second Auditors office has for
years been entrusted with disbursement of enor-
nous sums, and with the settlement of vast
variety of claims In all this time, and passing
upon hundreds of millions of dollars, the office
has stood with the highest possible reputation
for integrity and faithfulness of management,
and there was no necessity for the change OF
practice. An appropriation should be annually
made Of 100000, or so much as should be found
necessary, to pay off these outstanding claims,
so that the business might have prompt dis
patch, and no delay in payments occur after the
account is adjusted.
Under the present bad practice the desks Of
the officers become numbered up with adjusted
accounts, payments are foolishly delayed, par
ties entitled to relief are postponed, and no
earthly good is done to the Government or any
one else.
Let this be corrected, if the Treasury is to be
run upon any principles larger than those of a
pawnbroker's shop

are allowed.

Those soldiers who, after having served nine
months or more, We're honorably discharged and
then re-enisted in another organization for three
years, between January /, 1868, and April /,
1864 are regarded as VETERANS, and should.
have received S402 bounty from the United
States for their second service, provided that
they were discharged by reason of wound or
injury (not disease), on account of the Govern
ment no longer requiring their services, or for
expiration Of term of enlistment
Many did not receive this veteran bounty by
reason of having been mustered into the second
service as recruits instead OF veterans.
All such should send their discharges TO George
f. Lemon, Lock-box At, Washington, d. c.,
who win, without delay secure an office mus
ter, and collect the difference between g re-
cruit and veteran bounty, amounting to
S102 or 1902, according to date of second en-
listment.
OF course those who have received full $402
from the United States for their second service
are not further entitled.
The National tribune., 1878-05-01
Congressman Take Notice.

There is scattered all over this country an
army of misery and want.
There are wrecks of brave men unable to
toil-broken by disease, shattered by exposure.
There are poor, struggling women, left alone
to fight the hard fight for bread.
There are innocent and tender children with
out decent food, ordinary clothing, or opportu-
nifty for education
There are aged mothers, who gave the prop
and stay of their declining years to fight the
country's battle and lost all they gave.
Could all these be gathered and placed in full
view of our Congress, there is surely no heart
there SO hard that would not help them to the
pittance due them from the nation.
Yet ought not our legislators to act as freely
for these scattered cases as if the whole were
before them?
What hinders these poor people from the re-
lief they ask and to which the are entitled
The cruel pretense of economy has for the
last four years denied to the Surgeon-General
the force of clerks absolutely necessary to keep
up with their demands.
The business of the office has fallen fearfully
behind. Delay accumulates on delay, and mean
while suffering starvation, and despair accumu-
late also.
We call no names, we make no partisan APP
peal, but we shall denounce all men who deny
this appropriation as cruel, barbarous, and un-
just, before the American people and the face
of Heaven. 1t is the most criminal denial OF
common humanity, the most devilishly subtle
evasion of the law that ever disgraced legisla-
tion.
Meanwhile the claimant dies, and the claim
dies with him, and the heart of the legislator
is made glad with the fact that some money is
saved to the Government.
Men who dare not vote against pension will
yet block the door against procuring that med
ical evidence on which the pension depends.
Every Senator and every member of the
House of Representatives knows that it requires
fourteen months to obtain reply from the Sur

geon-General United States Army to any letter
requiring an examination of the hospital rec
ords of his office. From this outrage claimants
demand relief, and members of Congress who
wish to make g their calling and election sure "
are advised to provide remedy. When the
matter is again under consideration, as it will
be soon, we request the papers all over the land
to publish the names of all who consent to this
scandalous denial of necessary means to perfect
these claims.
