The National tribune., 1880-12-01
"The voice is Jacobs voice, but the hands are the
hands of Esau.


When an officer of the United States of high posi-
ton, takes the field in proper person, and with all
the panoply of official armor, expressly and avow-
edy for the purpose of creating public opinion in
favor of particular measure, devised and pressed
by him on Congress, it is q spectacle fortunately
rare, but undoubtedly dsreputable
Yet the Commissioner of Pensions has devoted
much of his valuable time to this style of work He
has delivered his lectures with as much pretense
of candor as if the whole proceeding was not part OF
an electoneerng scheme to press his unwise Dill,
and to compel his own retention in office for four
wears more But this is but the outward and visi-
BILE part of the scheme. lie knew very well that
the State Encampment of the Grand Army OF the
Repnblic for the State of Pennsylvania had con-
demned, by resolution his :" Sixty Surgeon Bill
both in the details and in the principle involved,
and that similar action had been taken by the other
State Encampments To change the hostile atta-
tude of this body and to convert them from ayowed
antagonism into apparent friendship, would, IN his
opinion largely advance the chances of the passage
4 of his bill.
In casting about for the means to bring about
this end he made repeated visits to Philadelphia,
placed himself in close relations with the comman-
dern-chief and Acknowledgement of the Grand Army
at headquarters and the result of his presence OF
his pressure and his winning ways, can be seen
in General Orders No. H. issued from the head
quarters of the G. A. r. December J. 1880 and the
printed memorials and petitions accompanying that
9 order.
For some reason satisfactory to them, these high
officers think proper to adopt for themselves and to
+ recommend for adoption by the several Posts OF ths
Grand Army of the Republic "octang officially" ths
Senate bill No 496 as adopted by the Senate Com
y mittee on Pensions. For the same reasons. what
9 ever they may be- they put this recommendation
not in the form of circular for information bat in
g the shape of an official general order, signed by
them not as individuals but in their official caps

with the order itself certain printed memorials t.

An Apple.Paring Bee.

Apples are so plentiful all over the
country that the very fact ought to in
duce the return of a good old fashioned
amusement in the shape of apple pairing
bees. Such bee was given at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. j. 81. Johnston,
Fifth avenue, New York, the other
evening. All the ladies appeared dressed
quite in the fashion of their great grand
mothers time, mob caps and large white
neckerchiefs being conspicuous features
of the costumes worn. Real country
fare of the most approved New England
type was provided, to the infinite de-
light of the guests, not the least import
ant items of the unique menu being enor-
nous mince and pumpkin pies, veritable
patriarchs of al the rest OF their kind.
which were consequently introduced in
great state, and received by the assem-
bled company with due reverence and
applause. And, to crown all, says the
Commercial live fiddler, quite a con-
noisseur in the repertoire or Sir Roger
de Coverlg's day, made his bow just at
the right moment, and opened the order
Of dancing with brisk country reel in
