JUSTICE MUST EE DONE.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
SURGEON.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
l am a subscriber to your invaluable paper,
and look for its weekly visits as | would that
of dear friend, and it is indeed a true friend
to the ex-soldier l can but join with others
in admiration of the bold and fearless manner
in which it repels the vile sanders and insults
which our enemies heap upon us, ard l am
glad we have some champions for justice to the
soldier. All honor to ingalls,, Voorhees,, Vest,
Blair, and others, who have taken stand for
the rights of the soldier We do not come as
humble suppliants, asking the Government to
give us aims, but we DO ask for fulfillment OF
its contract with us. Who saved the Govern
ment in her great hour of peril? AT the time
we marched away they said our soldiers are
our jewels, but il is strange how those Jewels
have deprecated in value in the estimation of
some Of these men; but / believe there is yet
left honor enough in these United States if we
keep it fairly before the people, that justice Will
yet be meted out to the defenders of the dear
Old Flag. So comrades. let us mako one grand
rally, and, with THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE to
aid us repeat our words TO the people, we can
feel confident of justice being done US. So let
us give our hearty support to THE TRIBUNE,
that has done and is still doing so much for the
soldiers Of our country. A SOLDIER.

PASTOR MANN,s EXPLANATION.

The Rev. George Swcmforth, while holding
revival meetings at Pawpaw, Indiana, started
one day to drive sister Beclman, the principal
singer in his choir, to a railroad station. She
kissed her female friends in parting and he,
thinking what was sauce for the goose was
sauce for the gander," kissed her also. The
matter causing considerable talk, the evangelist
stated, in sermon that Pastor Mann, Of the
local church. had also kissed Miss Beekman,
and neither had meant any harm by it. Such
kissing was commanded by Scripture, and he
was going to obey, no matter what was said
about it by worldly RcOnle

LET THEM HAZE NO REST TILL THEY REPENT.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
| think, as do also the members Of my COM
pany, THE TRIBUNE a very valuable paper TO
the eX-soldier, and one that he cannot well do
without; and we think il contains very enter
tanning and instructive reading matter for those
who never faced the horrors of war or shared
in the sufferings caused by the late rebellion
1t is comforting to the ex.s0ldier 20 know that
he has friend in the editor who will so ap-
pealingly and persstently plead for his rights.
The fourth page, where the soldiers needs and
rights are so truthfully presented and com
pared with the needs of those upon whom the
Government is so lavishly bcstowing its money
is well worth the subscription price Long
may you live to stand at the helm, until your
valuable paper shall reach tie home of every
ex-soldier in the land. And more than this,
we hope Congress, Senator Beck not excepted }
together with all those opposing the pensioning
of soldiers may read your paper, and find no
rest for their souls nor slumber for their eyes
until they have repentcd of their sins and come
over to the right side. Then perhaps the
clamor Of those who never smelled powder Will
cease, and the appropriation which Commits
siOner Dudley has long desired will be granted,
and the wounded and disabled soldier may get
his just dues. GEORGE SMITH, Ex-Soldier

Allow me, through your worthy paper, to say a
word in reference to the House bill increasing
the pension OF those who lost 4 leg or arm in the
service of their country. l have suffered the
loss of the use of my left leg by a slug ball and
three buckshot, which passed through it on the
battlefield of fChickamauga. Every amputated
limb that know of is troublesome in the same
way that mine is, and claim, with the fifteen
thousand of my own class, ($1S per month pen

THE SUFFERING CAUSED BY DELAY

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Your paper seems to be the true friend of the
soldier and those who battled for the preserva-
ton of our Union Through its columns the sol
ders are allowed tospeak land pass the word back
all along the line for which they should ever
feel grateful. We see Congress is doing great
deal for Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Garfield, and Grant,
and many others; also remembering the deluged
and flooded southern sections by apprOpriating
large sums of money for their aid and support;
all of which we conceive to be just, proper, and
right But we have widows and children
among us whose condition is distressing. 1t is
true that some of the soldiers widows draw q
small pension, but thousands have not had their
claims adjusted. We have also another class
among us-invalid men, who were once hale
and hearty. These men were among the first
to answer their country's call. Many of them
are growing gray; others are crippled diseased
and broken down in health. They toiled on
year after year, with large families, and finally
increase OF their disabilities. They at last ap-
pealcd to the Government they had saved for
what it owed them. Six years have passed.
and they are yet suppliants-their claims UNI
settled. This class cannot labor; they have
not money, and some are out of bread. In the
name of humanity we ask should not these men
have some attention, and if possible their claims
be passed upon | am not pensoner, nor the
son of a pensioner but say justice demands that
these men who helped save this Government
should no longer be kept in suspense. Money
and clerks should be voted-enough TO clean up
the work in the Pension Office. w. z. l..
