To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
The law allowing one years residence on
land, which gives to the eX-soldier Of the war
full title, is certainly of no earthly use to thou
sands with one arm, or one leg, or one eye, or
without both; it is simply an insult, and tan
talizing. What is due to US and what we want,
is simply warrant for our 100 acres, so that
we may dispose Of il to the best advantage to
ourselves. | am sure little ready cash will be
the means of doing more good for the eX-soldior
than any other way, and such an act OF Con-
gress should be passed now, not in two, five, or
ten years from now, when most Of us will be
dead. Very respectfully,
JOHN o. KLINE.

PENSION CLAIMS IN CONGRESS.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
I was overwhelmed with joy when read
Colonel Joyce's speech in your issue of june q.
/ wish that every ex-soldier could read the
speech and learn who was his friend in Con-
gress / wish to God that there were more
Congressman like Colonel Joyce Every ex-
soldier should look to such men as Colonel
Joyce, Benz. Lcfevre, and the Editor Of THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE Let us, brother soldiers,
keep such men in Congress as win help us poor
soldiers TO get cur dues that the Government
promised to the Boys that saved this Union
There is money enough in the United States
to pay every soldier and sailor. If soldiers win
watch next November who is going to run for
Congress, and cast their votes for such men as
the Editor of TIE TRIBUNE, Colonel Joyce, and
Benz Lefevre, and keep such men in Congress,
every soldier viii be paid his just dues, now
standing from ten to fifteen years. Give Colo
mel w. W. Dudley al the clerks necessary to
push claims with satisfactory proof. l viii ask
God to bless Colonel Joyce aud his helpers in
Congress IN this world and in the future world
l am glad brother soldiers, that we have got
such friends that viii lool, to our interest. If
General U. S. Grant was or would have been,
like Colonel Joyce, thousands OF claims would
have been settled long ago. ! never can sup
port such a man as General e. S. Grant. We
all know his veto on the soldiers pensions
would not do without THE TRIBUNE for twice
the subscription price. Yours truly,

they viii 10 if they are elected. They are sure
u call upon the soldiers for their votes; they
vii tell them they are going TO shove the
bounty bill through, and are going &c intro9iea
and sustain measures that win enable each ard
every one to receive just compensation for his
service. Over and over again have these prom
iscs been made, and they have been broken as
often. / do not wish 10 condemn everybody,
for some have done all in their power, and we
are well aware who they are. The men who
have stood up so manfHlly for the soldiers
rights are the men we should stand by. Now,
comrades, lei usswing the political cannon
into position, and throw such tremendous bomb
shells into the ranks Of the promise breakers
that not one Of them viii ever be heard in the

PEXs1oNISG Ex-PRIsoNERs OF WAR.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Pour in the shot and shell. As a subscriber
TO THE TRIBUNE, | think it the best advocate
of soldiers rights that I ever read. / see that
several bills have been presented in Congress
to pension those that We're in rebel prisons.
How long will we have to wait until they act
on them As for myself, know from expert
cnce and truly believe that there is not one
living to-day that was confined in Anderson
vile six months that is an able-bodied man.
We had to lay there exposed to all the tor
tlres Of that hell On earth--if there ever was
anything to compare to it history fails to de-
scribe it-because the exchange of prisoners was
played ont. l think it nothing more than just
and right that should have u small share of
the surplus funds that arc disc ibated 70 Mrs.
Lincoln, Mrs. Garfield, General Grant and
others. It was my misfortune, to be confined
in the rebel pens for nine months, and the most
of that time in Andersonville. There IS no
tongue or pen that can describe the suffering
that we had TO endure; TO live On one meal
day, and that not half what you could eat; no
there. God speed the day when all who suf-
fered so may receive pension. Let it be what
it will, it viii never half pay for what we en-
dured; but if we never get cert, thank God
we accomplished what VIC set out to do, and cur
Government still stands.

THE PAPER FOE TIE PEOPLE.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
While the Government is generous in some
respects 10 the soldiers who defended the coun-
try, yet there is class entirely ignored-the
prisoners of war. Their suferings is the dark
est page in the history of the rebellion, and yet
when bill comes before the committee there
seems to be no action or its~1f the committee
had been prisoners for even one week instead
of weary months they would be more prompt
in their work to compensate men for their suf-
ferings. Now, in tie name Of the Nation that
they helped to save, why don't Congress pass
some bill for their rclief?s There are few of
them living to-day, and not one in a hundred
can earn fifty cents day. / receive your paper
regularly, and it stits me better than any paper
ever saw. 1t is just the paper. that every
person should take, ex-soldieg or not. Hoping
to send some subscribers soon, remain yours

NO BETTER PAPER PRINTED.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Permit me to say that there is no better paper
printed in the United States than TIE TRIB-
UNE. 1t gives all the news and fights nobly for
the old soldier and his rights. When l sub
scribed for it last fall had no means to pay for
it. ! told q friend what l thought OF the paper,
and he, who never was Il soldier, but 3 soldiers
friend, said to me: If you want it here is the
money" That is the way l came to he sub
scriber. To-day | would not be without if I
had to beg the money by the penny. l hope it
may ever wave and secure a million subscrib-
ers, and that very soon. But let all soldiers
and soldiers friends rally to the standard of
TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE with their subscrip-
tions, and to the polls with their votes for such
men as are fighting at present for the soldiers
rights, and when election time comes say, you
were good and faithful to your duty, and you
must go back to Congress again: " and to those
who are against the soldier and his rights put
a black spot on them and say, "yOu cannot be
reelected" Put them there and keep them
there, and by the aid Of your paper, with the
soldier and his friends the work will be done.
l hope Congress viii give General W. W. bud
leyal! the force and money he needs to put the
work through; he is the right man in the right
place. Comrades send on your subscriptions to
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, the soldiers advo-
cate and friend. May it never die. 1t is doing
glorious work for the soldier. Ever your
friend, L. c. WOLF.
