suspended. Whether it will be re-affirmed
or not, must depend, in cur judgment, to a
great extent, upon the action of the Grand
Army. 1t is test case, and stronger one
is never likely to occur again. IF the Order
is in earnest in its resolve to secure the en-
forcement of Section 1854, here is splendid
opportunity for it to exercise its influence.
Our comrades of the Department of Wis
consin should carefully investigate the facts,
and if they find them to be as stated they
should demand the retention of General
Harnden in accordance with the specific and
mandatory provisions of the statute.
1t is scarcely necessary for us to say that
we have no personal interest in this matter,
and do not even enjoy the pleasure of Cen
eral Harnden's acquaintance, but in the in
terest of the hundreds, and perhaps thou
sands, of disabled comrades whose tenure of

in this case, we feel 1t incumbent upon us
to urge the Importance of prompt and

The Printing of the Pension List.

The estimated cost of the printing of the
1,400 copies of the pension list ordered by
the last Congress is $1,000, or between $500
and $500 each, yet there are some newspa-
pers, and among them we observe the New
York Times, which are in favor of printing
thousands of copies of this work and dis
tributing it broadcast through the country at
a cost, as our readers can easily see for them
selves, of hundreds of thousands if not
millions, of dollars What justification can
be offered for such waste of public money !?
1t is alleged that this wholesale publica-
tion would have the effect of disclosing great
frauds in pensions, and that the amount
thus saved to the Government would make
it worth while to publish the list, but we
observe that the Pension Office authorities
are of the opinion that it would lead to the
discovery of so many eases where persons
are receiving inadequate pensions, that the
ultimate effect would be to increase rather
than reduce the annual value of the pension
roll. But, whichever supposition might
prove correct, there is certainly no sufficient
reason for asserting that the wholesale pub
lication of the list would lead to the detec-
ton of wholesale frauds, and there is, there
fore, no sufficient warrant for making such
n {Uho4 -
fraud? There are rumors afoat enough,
heaven knows! but what are the real bottom
facts? The records of the Pension Office
show that the percentage of fraud in pen
sions does not exceed one-tenth of one per
cent, and the utmost that can be said in the
way of giving substance to the rumors of
pension frauds that are being circulated by
the partisan press, is that cases are now and
then brought to light where pension claim
ants have attempted to defraud the Govern
ment The New York Times processes to
describe three or four such eases, but we find
upon examination that the editor has con-
founded eases of fraud perpetrated By pen
sioners with cases of fraud perpetrated upon
pensioners, and by personators of meritori-
GUS claimants upon pension agents, as was
the case in Philadelphia the other day, when
woman succeeded in duping pension
agent into paying her the money due another
claimant. The victim of the fraud in that
instance was neither the Government nor
the bona tide claimant, but the pension agent
himself, just as bank which should cash a
forged check would be the loser, and not the
person whose signature had been forged. The
whole matter, indeed, resolves itself into SIM
ply this: Has any tangible, trustworthy evil
dence as yet been produced to establish the
charge made by Irresponsible penny -a-Ine
Newspaper correspondents, and since reek-
lessly reiterated withoutany inquiry having
been made as to its actual truth, that the
pension list is honeyeombed with fraud? Il

NO careful reader OF IHE TRIBUNE can
fail to have remarked the large number of
soldiers Reunions already held or announced
to be held during the present summer and
autumn, and it is a hopeful sign that of
these Reunions a very large number have
but recently been projected. That is to say, in
addition to those commands-corps, brigade,
regimental and company-which have been
IN the habit for several years past of holding
Reunions, many commands, which hitherto
have not been accustomed to do so, have
made arrangements for Reunions. The fact
is that never since the war has the current
of fraternal sympathy pulsed so strongly in
the veins of our veterans az at the present
moment, and it is worthy of note also that
their whilom antagonists, the veterans of
the Confederate army, seem to have caught
something of the enthusiasm which animates
our Northern soldiery and are engaging in
similar festaI meetings of their own. Thus
our readers will find in this weeks issue of
THE tribune in addition to the accounts
of the veteran Reunions which took place
during the past week in the Northern and
Western States, reports of the great gather
ing of Confederate soldiers in the States of
Texas and North Carolina and the joint
Reunion of the ex-soldiers of both armies at
Springfield, No. to celebrate the anniversary
of the battle of Wilson'S Creek, one of the
iereest of the early struggles of the war.
To keep our readers posted as to the dates,
places, and particulars of these military Re-
unions, as well as to chronicle the proceed
ings thereat, is a labor of love, yet at the
same time one that abounds in difficulties
and has proved severe tax on both the ed

of his readers, however, to fully compensate
him for the extra labor and trouble to which
he has been put if they will but act on the

! THE TRIBUNE is, there are thousands of com
rades who have never seen copy, and il
should be the effort of every one of our sub
scribers who has profted by the substantial
rations which it dispenses every week to
