closely scrutinized or the pension laws en-
forced with greater vigor in the detection
and punishment of fraud. Instead of the
doors having been thrown open, as the cor
respondent in question suggests, to bogus
claimants, they have been slammed to and
bolted! Yet there are correspondents, as we
have seen, so utterly devoid of regard for
the truth as to assert the exact contrary of
this fact, and so large are their opportunities
for mischief that some step should evidently
be taken to expose their untrustworthiness.
What we would suggest is this: Whenever
such SANDERS as this appear in the public
prints let every ex-soldier who is reader
of the offending journal demand of the
editor their source and authority, and reit-
crate the challenge until the latter is forced
to either admit his ignorance of the grounds
upon which the charges are based, or to ex-
plicitly retract them. We engage that no
editor viii venture to persist in ibeling
our pensioners in the face of such direct
protest from his subscribers.

turer ON health topics, has founded new
magazine, devoted to the propagation of his
sanitary ideas. The first number is lust at

Monthly, and it is certainly v8y novel, and
at the same time, interesting and valuable
publication. It's aim, as Mr. Lewis says, is to
popuiarize sanitary science--to make the sub

interesting as story-and careful perusal of
Its contents shows that it is edited with a view
to that object. The great questions of the
science of health are here discussed i'll such a

NOTHING is more certain to prolong life in this
world than Government pension. There are
thousands of war veterans living at the age of
one hundred years and upward who would have
died years ago if they had not been on the pension
list. They appear to think it is a duty they owe
the Government to live forever. 1t is said patent

The genial humorist of the Norristown
Herald, Mr.. John I'll. Williams will not adj
vance his reputation by such thoughtless
filings as this, yet, intending to be satirical,
he has unwittingly given utterance to a
great and impressive truth A Government
pension does tend to prolong life. It
enables the recipient to escape the pangs of
poverty and hunger; to buy the medicine
and hire the medical attendance that the
invalid requires; to obtain shelter and care
during his old age. That, indeed, is the
object of Government pension,-its proper.
legitimate end, and it seems to us that our
humorous friend would find a filter subject
for satire in the attitude of those politicians
and newspapers that twenty years ago were
SO profuse in their promises of aid and sup
port to the soldier if he would only do the
fighting for them, but are now SO fearful
that they may be called upon to make good
their pledges What staggers us, consider
ing how many brave ex.soldiers' lives have
been cut short by want and distress, that,
with the aid of pension, might have been
saved to us, is that the American people who
cannot have SO soon forgotten the services
which these veterans rendered them, should
so long have tolerated the delay which has
occurred in the settlement of these veterans
claims.

Reunion Of Army Workers.
OCEAN GROVE, N. j., July 2,

OCEAN GROVE, N. D., July u.
Special Correspondence National Tribune
A most delightful Reunion of the workers of
the q. S. Christian and Sanitary Commissions
and Chaplains OF the army took place, as stated
last week, at Ocean Grove. July 22-2I The
meetings, which were presided over by George
ii. Stuart, of Philadelphia, were attended by
thousands, and were of thrilling interest. The
speeches were made by those who had worked
on many battlefield and had heard the ring
OF all kinds of deadly missiles, and as they
talked to the multitudes of the heroism of our
soldiders and their devotion to the flag they
were greeted with the most enthusiastic APP
plaase by an audience numbering over 5000.
Four Posts of the G. A. R. came in body to
testify their interest and respect. As they
marched into the grand auditorium the whole
congregation rose. and amid the waving of
hats and handkerehefs and the most enthusi-
astic applause, which terminated in three
cheers and tiger they marched to the seats
reserved for them with the stately tread and
dignity of trained veterans.
They were welcomed in fitting words by Mr.
Stuart. Commander Nevius, of Arrowsmith
Post, soldier who had lost an arm in the
service, responded in a most eloquent speech,
which was received with thunders of applause.
At its close the Post arose and gave three
cheers and tiger to the workers. All agree
that this Reunion was the most intensely in
teresting and thrilling meeting ever held at
Ocean Grove The association will hold another
Reunion here next summer.
The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: George i'll. Stuart, president;
Philip G. Gillett, viee-president; Rev. J. o.
Foster, grand secretary; James Grant assistant
secretary; General Clinton B. Fisk, treasurer

A Reunion of norran,s Raiders.

A Reunion of John Morgan's Confederate
command was held Mt Lexington, KY, begin
ing July oath. Several hundred members of
that notable force camped on part of the estate
OF Henry Clay In tents furnished by the War
Department. Jefferson Davis was invited to be
present. but sent letter in which he said that
ill health prevented him from attempting so
long journey and the excitement attendant
upon such an occasion. He continued: "The
name of your association is eloquentIy COM
memoratiye of daring deeds performed, of dire
suffering borne and of barbarous indignities
inflicted on men who had bravely struggled in
an unequal combat to vindicate the rights their
fathers left them" The daughter of John Nor
gan was among the guests; also Mr.. Tiffany, who
was Federal postmaster at Camp Chase Adj
dresses were delivered by Frank Watts, Gen.
Preston, Gen. Duke, ex-Gov. McCrary Gen. J.
s. Williams and others. At night Senator W.
II. Jones, of Richmond, Va, gave lecture on
" The Boys in Gray"
On the 25th 1900 persons escorted to the
grave the remains of one of their number, J.
Blal<emore, who died a few days ago. Return
ing, they marched by the grave of their leader,
John III. Morgan, uncoverng their heads as
they passed. The grave was decorated with
flowers. The graves of other Confederate dead
were also visited and strewn with flowers.
The address of Major Santley, the orator
of the day, was delivered in the grove. His
subject was the life of John H. Morgan.
There was an exhibition of fireworks at night.

This is certainly remarkable and indeed
almost an unaecountable state of things to
be reported from State which furnished
such glorious command as the old YER
mont brigade, and it seems to us that it is
well worth the attention of the Department
authorities. The other Posts in the Depart
ment should turn in and help our Chelsea
comrades to build the proposed hall and
maintain their position in the community,
the unpatriotic citizens of Chelsea to the
contrary Notwithstanding. 1t would be a
potent and enduring lesson to other COM
munities who would seek to embarrass the
labors and impede the growth of the most
noble Order in existence. Will cur Yer
mont veterans permit their Chelsea COM
rades to be thus Inundated by commu-
nifty of stay-at-homes?

pequests to tho Grand Army.

CodRADE THOMAS CUNNINGHAM, of Hol-
lister Post, No q, Coxsackie, N. 7, apropos
of the fact that the late William e. Dodge,
Of New York, left by viii $4,000 to va
rious missionary societies, reformatory insti-
tutions, &c, asks why it is that our million
aires never leave any requests to soldiers
or soldiers orphans homes? This is an
inquiry which we do not remember having
ever seen raised before and it is quite to the
point. 1t is true that it is the duty of the
National and State governments to main
tain such institutions and in such manner
as to satisfy all demands upon them, but
the fact is that in very few cases has ade-
quate provision been made. 1t would be
very unfortunate, in orr opinion, if any
steps were taken that would tend to weaken
the obligation which rests upon the United
States Government and the several States
to sustain these homes, and, for that reason,
it would be doubtless unwise to solicit be-
quests from private citizens for their sup
port; but there are, unquestionably, many
other soldiers charities which stand just as
much in need Of the assistance of the benev-
olent as those upon which 1t is usually be-
slowed. There is at least one way open for
the useful employment Of any moneys which
our philanthropists may be disposed to give
or bequeath for the aid Of the ccuntry's i'm
poverished veterans and their needy fami-
lies, and that lies through the regular chan
mel Of the Post relief fund. In every place
where a Post Of the Grand Army exists and
especially where there is Woman's Auxil-
iary connected with 1t, the relief committee

cious dispensation of charity, and if the
rich and generous citizens all over the coun-
try, who are constantly contributing to the
support of foreign missions, tract societies,
infant asylums, and the like, could be
brought to understand the urgency of the
claims which our disabled soldiers have upon
them for practical aid, they raight be in
duced to include them within the circle of
their benefactions. This is subject well
worth serious consideration, and we do not

The Union Accommodated.

The Denver conference of Woman's Aux
iliaries, as will be seen by reference to the
account of its deliberations which we pub
hsh in another column, has accomplished its
purpose. As we anticipated, there was a
great diversity of opinion as to the basis on
which the National Society should be estab-
lished, and it was not without much earnest
discussion that it was finally decided to
organize it on the broad and liberal basis
which THE TRIBUNE has so steadfastly adj
vocated, but although some viii doubtless
temporarily regret the refusal of the confer
ence to limit membership to the Immediate
relatives of soldiers, we feel sure that as soon
as the Society is in active operation, and its
influence shall have begun to be felt, that
all sense of disappointment viii pass away,
and that the delegates who were most
earnest in opposing the admission of all loyal
women, will be the first to concede the wis
dom of that act
For president of the new Auxiliary, the
conference has wisely chosen lady who
possesses not only the personal energy and
experience necessary for the efficient dis
charge hatmust needs be the very arduous
duties of that position, but heart full ofloye
for the work, and strength of purpose that
we are sure viii not fail her. As the head Of
the National Auxiliary, Mrs. Barker viii
unquestionably soon rally around her q host
of eager and enthusiastic workers, and we
predict that the close of her administration
will find Auxiliaries established in every
Department of the Grand Army, working in
harmony with The objects of the general
society, and holding the most cordial and
intimate relations with it.
It must not be supposed, however, because
this preliminary organization has been eff
fected, that there is nothing further to be
done. Before any effective steps can be taken
in the way of missionary work, all the Auxil-
larry societies in the various Departments
must be united into Department orgar,iza-
tions, bearing the same relation to the Ma
tional Society that the Department Encamp-
ments fthe Grand Army do to the National
Encampment. When that has been accom-
plished, it will be in order to prepare plans
for the extension of Auxiliary work into
new territory, and the thorough canvassing
of the territory that is as yet but partially
occupied. Some weeks must, of course,
eiapse before all these matters of detail can
be passed upon, but we hope to present very
shortly in THE TRIBUNE an outline of the
plan upon which the operations of the Ma
tional Auxiliary will be conducted It's
objects are of character that enlist our
heartiest sympathies and our loyal women
may be sure that THE TRIBUNE will not
grow weary in the work of building it up.

TIE Encampment did well to re-elect
surgeon-General Amesa ard Chaplain-in-Chief
Foster. 1t is Of the frst Importance 10 the
Grand Army TO retain such efficient, Jealous
and popular officials, and it has honored
itself in this action quite as much as the
comrades themselves We are glad to note
also that General Beath has retained that
fireless worker, Quartermaster-GeneraI Tay-
lor, on his official staff.
