Where his heels may dangle DER Haman's head
Conveniently crazed in his fendishness,
To walk our streets in an innocent guise,
With his hidden pistol and stealthy tread
But when we have hanged him. what comes theni
Had he any confederates? Let US see!

Thus you, the historians, are to blame.

And baking justice to crafty sight.

1t is not without purpose that we have
turned this earlier page of Grand Army his
tory. There are some who think that the
Order has no longer any excuse for existence
and that its perpetuation tends to keep alive
the memory of an unhappy strife that had
much better be forgotten. BY way of an
swer we would point them to this simple
narrative of its first beginnings. 1t reveals
more clearly than any argument could do,
how pure and noble, how unmixed with any
sentiment of hatred for n vanquished foe
and devoid Of all sectional feeling, the
mission of the Grand Army from the first
has been, and it must still further widen and
deepen the esteem and honor in which this
band of veterans is held by
grateful Nation.

a Lesson for Young Soldiers.

The Military Academy at West Point and
the Naval Academy at Annapolis have just
held their annual commandments and sent
forth their annual quota of cadets and
middies. 1t may be that none Of these
young gentlemen will ever get Il sniff of
war, but, passing by slow and easy stages
from one rank to another, be retired at last
without having scarcely learned the smell
of gunpowder. There is not a cloud at
present on the horizon, and for aught any
one now knows we may remain at peace
with ourselves and our neighbOrs for a
century or more. Certainly that would be
a consummation deyoutly to be wished, and
with such a future of uninterrupted tranquil
lity assured to us we could afford to give
ourselves little concern as to the character
Of our young officers in either branch of the
service. But neither our own past history
us in making any such flattering forecast of
the futnre. We have happily succeeded
hitherto in avoiding foreign complications
and entanglements, and the yastness and
fertility of the national domain have pre-
vented the development up to the present
time of any passion for conquest OF annexa-
ton; but the day is not far distant when
our population will have reached one hun
dred millions, and it remains to be seen
whether we shall then be the same homo
geneous self-sufficient people that we are
to-day The dangers which republics have
most to fear proceed from within rather
than without, and it is not always easy to
detect the source of peril when as yet it
exists only in the form of an idea or senti-
ment. Indeed, when one reflects that the
woman whose 10th birthday the greatest Of
American authors united in celebrating last
week, lived to see the seed which she soWed
in Uncle Toms Cabin sprout and swell until
it rent the black rock Of slavery itself

A Suggestive Comparison.

The passage of the Pension Appropriation
bill by the House of Representatives on
Monday last affords an occasion for general
congratulation. The sum appropriated is
one hundred millions, the full amount asked
for, and it is pleasant to know that the bill
received the approval of the House without
the formality of rOll-call. For this happy
result our soldiers are indebted in part to
Commissioner Dudley's admirable presenta-
ton Of the needs of his Bureau, the present
efficient conduct of which has inspired both
Congress and the country with confidence
in the recommendations of its chief; in part
to their faithful comrades on the Pension
Committee of the Grand Army who visited
Washington and went before the Pension
Committees of both Houses of Congress in
their behalf and, finally, to the pressure of
public sentiment and the influence of repre-
sentative newspapers like THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, which has always made the
advancement of the soldiers interests its
special care. With the long-desired increase
in the clerical force of the Pension Bureau,
now practically assured also the work of
securing justice to our pensioners may be
said to be in fair way of being speedily
accomplished, and it is peculiarly fitting
that the date should agree so nearly with
that of the meeting of the National En-
campment. There is nothing, we may be
sure which could give our veterans keener
pleasure than the knowledge that at last
the claims of their invalid comrades are
about to receive full and cordial recogni-
ton.
In this connection it may not be out of
place to present the official statement of the
cost of pensions to the Government up to
the present time, as compared with the
amounts paid on account OF the public debt
1t has often been charged by the enemies
of the soldier that the cost of pensions was
equal to that of the national debt, and at
tempts have been made to convince the
country that the payment of the Govern
ment's obligations to its late defenders would
bankrupt the Treasury. The folly and false
hood of these statements is fully revealed by
the following figures:

as to our owl

There is a pleasant stretch Of greensward
and woodland on the outskirts of Baltimore,
not too remote to be difficult of access, nor
yet in such close proximity TO the bustling
town as to be plagued by its dust and noise,
which, under the name of Scbuetzen Park,
has long been a favorite resort with the
thrifty Germans Of that city. 1t is there
that the tents of the Grand Army are
pitched, and as compliment to gallant
comrade, General Felix Agnus, whose per-
sonal exertions have contributed greatly to
the success Of the occasion, the park has
been christened Camp Agnus" It is such
a camp rs never fell to the lot of our veterans
to tent in twenty years ago, for electric
lights have taken the place of the blazing
fence-rai as an illuminatOr, nobody is
obliged TO turn i'll at "taps," and there is no
fault to be found with the commissary."
We shall not attempt to describe the charms
of this attractive spot nor depictthe pleasures
which the Boys in Blue found awaiting them
there. We may be sure they Will long
cherish the memory of both, as the traveller
in some arid waste looks back with wistful
eyes to the oasis he is leaving, and it would
be a hopeless task TO try to put into words
the feelings which such scenes az those
10 +-lyfpcy ra1opn NJ (Nop,r,
Agnus arouse in the heart of the soldier.
And. indeed, when one thinks of it, it is not
so much the place, paradise though it should
be. which makes the camp as the men who
gather there Wherever the members of the
Grand Army are, be it tewn or country, park
or wilderness, land or sea, there the spirit
Of comradeship burns brightly, the right
hand of fellowship meets an answering
pressure the toast goes round. Who shall
define the sentiment which binds our vet
erans to each other? 1t is comradeship,
you say. Yes, but a cOmradeship which
those who have never felt the baptism of
fire" can but family comprehend. In the
ordinary pursuits of life greed and avarice,
ambition and jealousy, obtrude themselves
at every step. Selfinterest makes comrades
for us to-day, and tomorrow self-interest
may change them to foes. 1t is only when
men have suffered in common, faced danger
together, braved death side by side, that the
true spirit of comradeship is kindled in their
hearts. To the casual spectator a Grand
Army Reunion may seem to greatly resemble,
perhaps, the gatherings of other orders.
The bands play the same tunes, the crowds
cheer with the same gusto, the orators
sound the same praises of fraternity, and
the caterer provides pretty much the same
refreshments; but these things are only the
husks You must search deeper if you
would discover the significance of Grand
Army Reunion. OF all the pleasures, for
instance, which n thoughtful hospitality pro-
vided for the entertainment of our veterans
at Camp Angus, was there one so keen as
that which the soldier felt when he grasped

The Next National Encamnment.

Tt was oppressiyely hot on Monday. The
asphalt paving of the magnificent distances
boiled and cracked beneath the rays of Old
Sol. Bob Ingersoll took it al back and con-
cluded that only few more degrees of alti-
tude to the mercury would answer for
Hades. Gniteau wiped the gathering moist
ure from his brow, and didn't believe he
could stand it. David Davis glanced at the
clock furtively, and lOnged for the ice box
at home. The trees in Lafayette Square
were still as painted trees in painted for
est. The sanctum door at THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE Office and all the windows stood
wide open, but not the ghost of zephyr
famed the brow of the weary editor.
Suddenly the atmosphere took on abreezy
flavor, and the scribe became conscious of q
presence.
w. H. Holmes San Francisco Cal, was
the name on the card that the breezy west
ern man laid on the table. Comrade Holmes,
of George II. Thomas Post, delegate to the
Encampment, is desperately in earnest upon
the subject of the Grand Army holding its
next Encampment in San Francisco. And
why not? as he says. A trip to the Pacific
slope is one of the objects for which money
is earned and saved. 1t would be the con-
summation of dream fOndly cherished by
many a veteran who would like to see Cali
fornia once before he dies. An interview
with Comrade Holmes is printed under the
head of Grand Army news, and we invite
the attention of delegates to the reasons of
fered for accepting the invitation. The
probability of the selection of Commander
in-Chief from the East would seem to point
to the West as the proper place of meeting
for the National Eneampment next year.
The National tribune., 1882-06-24

asunder, it is not hard to believe that the
future may have as many surprises in store
for US as the past. Let no one imagine for
a moment that we take q lugubrious view
of the country's destiny. The prospect is
fair to see, and the very struggles through
which we have passed testify to the inherent
strength of the national character. But we
would have these young men who are going
forth to take their places in the regular
service, and who some day, mayhap, may he
called to the command of our armies and
fleets, understand what has been the true
secret Of our success in the past and what 1t
is likely to be in the future Fresh from the
study of learned authorities on the science
OF war, and a little dazed, perhaps, with the
splendor of their new uniforms, they may
be disposed to think that they have already
possessed themselves of the secret. If so,
we wish that they could be plunged in the
thick of the crowd at Baltimore this week
and be brought face to face with those un-
pretentiOus but sturdy veterans who are
holding their annual Encampment there.
They would learn nothing new, perhaps,
concerning the theory of war, but they
would be apt to acquire knowledge of the
character of the American volunteer soldier
that might considerably modify their idea
as to the source of our military prowess; ;
for indeed our success at arms from the very
birth of the Republic has been due far more
to the intrepidity, the endurance, and the
intelligence of the common soldier than to
the genius of our generals. Was it not a
mere handful of country lads who drove the
British regulars helter-skelter back to Cam
bridge one famous April afternoon in the
year of our Lord 1775? And was it not
pretty much the same sort Of material again
that the British found so uncommonly
plucky at Lundy's Lane? And later still,
was it not those reckless volunteers of ours
that performed such miracles of valOr in
that affair with Santa Anna? OF course
our new-Gedged Ieutenants have read
enough history to be aware of these facts,
but it would do them good TO find out for
themselves in the way we have suggested
that the American soldier is of pretty much
the same high mettle still. They could not
fail to discover that in the ranks of our vOlun-
teer armies in the late war were men of
culture, talent, wealth, and social position.
They could not fail to see that not simply
the workshop, the factory and the farm had
its representatives in the Grand Army, but
the counting-room, the college, and the homo
of luxury, and it may be that they would 90
away with the consciousness that after all it
is not West Point which is the salvation of
the Republic, but that deep-rooted love of
country which dwells in the hearts of the
volunteer soldier.

The baltimore Jubilee.

As we write the annual Encampment Of
the Grand Army is in progress at Baltimore,
and the hospitable citizens of the Maryland
metropolis are engaged in the pleasant task
of entertaining their military guests. Else
where viii be found full report Of the fes-
tivities incident to the Reunion up to the
hour Of going to press, and it Will be seen
at once that the Encampment is a great sue
cess. All the glowing predictions which
preceded the event have been more than re-
allied, and the Boys in Blue are likely to
carry baCl, with them the fondest recoilec-
tions of Camp Agnus and tho great jubilee
of 1892.
Wcll Well! It all seems natural enough
now, but vino would have supposed twenty
years ago that the time would ever come
when the veterans of the then hostile armies
would be found fraternizing together with as
much of brotherly affection as if the war
had never Feen and no flag save the Star
It is q theme which might well move any
man TO eloquence, and inspire the most scep-
teal with faith in the vitality of American
patriotism.
Dickens, in one of his most touching
stories, tells us how brave British soldier,
upon seeing his beloved commander stricken
down by French officer in the heat Of bat
tie, took solemn oath that the lattershould
atone with his life, if ever he met him face
TO face again. In every engagement and on
every field of the long campaign he sought
an opportunity to execute his VOW, but in
vain. The war ended, peace was declared,
ana the enemy had escaped his vengeance
But none the less he held TO his purpose and
the memory of that French officers face re-
mained as fresh as on the day when he saw
it for the first time. 1t is Providence, how
ever, who orders the course of human events.
vengeance is mine, saith the Lord" And
so it happened that when at last this British
soldier did meet the French officer face to
face, it was as the latters guest in the bosom
of his family, and the hospitality of his host
melted the hate that was in his heart and
transformed it into eternal esteem and
friendship. Has not this been the expert
ence also Of the men Of both armies in our
own unhappy conflict? Out of the exchange
of such hOspitalities as grace this Baltimore
Reunion has grown up a new and better un-
derstanding than ever subsisted between the
people of the North and South in the days
before the war, and the enmity that was in
our hearts at the close Of the rebellion has
been swallowed up by renewed love of
country, and truer appreciation of the
valor of the American soldier.
We hail this Reunion, therefore, as
blessed symbol of the unity which now char
acterizes the citizens of all sections in their
devotion to the Union, and pray Heaven
that the patriotism, the courage, and the for
titude of the Grand Army may prove a
source of inspiration to future ages as well
as to our own.

The National Tribune and the G. A. II.

We devote a large portion of our space
this week to an interesting description of
the opening of the Sixteenth Annual En-
campment of the Grand Army, and the fes-
tivities connected Herewith, and we feel sure
that the readers Of THE NATIONAL TRI-
BUNE-all soldiers and many thousands
members of the Order themselves-will exact
no apology at our hands. THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE has become so identified with the
interests of the Order, and its circulation is
so largely among the members of the various
Posts from Maine to California that it is to
all lntents and purposes the national organ
of the Grand Army, and as such expected to
chronicle everything of note pertaining to it.
1t is grateful and gracious work, and the
frateInal letters which we are daily receiving
from comrades in every State and Territory of
the Union affords ample evidence that it is
cordially appreciated. 1t has always been
our desire to see all our eX-sOldiers and
sailors joined together by the fraternal
ties of the Order, and nothing, it has seemed
to us, was more likely to hasten that union
than the influence of a thoroughly representa-
tive soldiers newspaper, which should reach
all classes of veterans and interest them in
each others welfare. Such newspaper, THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE, from small beginnings
has grown to be. With its new and beauti-
full lightning press" rivalling the most
perfect machines of the great New York
dailies, it is now able to print an edition of
one hundred thousand copies weekly, and
I'd them out cut, pasted, and folded
oughout the length and breadth of the
ID. A glance at our Soldiers Column"
! be sufficient to show the interest which
as aroused among the Boys in Blue in
ry section. Many thousands of our sub
bers, as we have said, are already mem
sof the Grand Army-and indeed there
other weekly journal in the country
Hh ch circulates so largely within the Order
1T there are thousands more who as yet
not connected themselves with it. The
has come, it seems to US, when they
I'D do so. The Grand Army is now IN
stionably the most splendid body of
rams that the world has ever seen, and
equation is without stain. Absolutely
Tced from politics, avoiding ostentatious
display, and devOting all its energies
to the accomplishment Of its triple
mission of Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty,
our soldiers may well be proud to have their
names on its rolls, and we trust the day is
not far distant when every gallant defender
of the Union will be included in its member
ship. As for The NATIONAL TRIBUNE, it
will always esteem it a rare and precious
privilege to foster the growth of this noble
Brotherhood, protect its interests, and CO.
operate in its patriotic, humane, and charit-
able work.
