were places in Andersonville which did not
visit; we were so crowded, and it was too much
of an undertaking Being a stranger there,
you might be attacked and robbed of the
clothes YOU had on. if nothing else Many
things are not mentioned, probably out OF feel
ings of delicacy.
Now who, for a moment, after suffering such
hardships as described in Southern Prison
Life" can be, at the end of one year or fifteen
months, free from disease or half as good man
rs when he went in there? Remember, there
was no shelter in Andersonville except for the
few lucky enough to get in with blanket, and
this they had to prop upon four sticks to keep
the sun off, Others had to stand outside and
take whatever came.
If it was an advantage to our Government
not TO exchange prisoners, why are we not enti-
tied to a pension as much as if we had received
wounds? As for my part, would as soon be
with one arm or one leg rs to be i'll the condl-
tion prison life left me. hope THE NATIONAL

stirring up that they Will see that soldier with
ruined health is as much entitled to pension
as a man with one arm.

PAoLA, KAN, August %.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Allow a subscriber to your excellent paper
space in the Soldiers Column" to ask the fol-
lowing questions for the satisfaction of the one
armed and one-legged soldiers of the late war :
Was Senator Platt, of Connecticut a soldier In
the late war for the Union? And, if SO, do you
believe that had he lost one Of his limbs, either
an arm or a leg that he would have objected
TO the $40 bill that passed the lower House on
the sth dav of last June? We certainly can
not think that the gallant Senator has gone
back on the boys once in blue" We believe
that he as chairman of the Senate committee
on Pensions, will, at the December session, re-
mort this bill favOrably. 1t would bring JOY
and gladness to the hearts Of many poor Grip
pIed soldiers. We are glad to know that with
the aid of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE and the
gallant John A. Logan, Voorhees, ingalls,,
Ferry, and many others, that bold effort
will be made TO pass this just bill at the
December session. Yours is the best soldiers
paper in America, is keeping the "boys" posted
on all legislation touching their interests. We
are beginning to know who our friends are, and
we propose TO vote understandingly. Boys,
get ND your petitions, and have them ready
and pass them in at the next session OF Con-
cress. Let us make square and bold fight for
our long-promiscd rights. With firm reliance
on your journal, we believe that the bill TO in
crease the pensions Of those who lost an arm
or leg viii pass the Senate at its next session
BE of good cheer, comrades, and never despair
