The crusade against tobacco 10 carried
on in England, says the St. James Gazette,
with u~nmitigsted ferocity. At the meet
ing of the English Anti-Tobacco Society
and Anti-Narcotic League" at Manchester,
on Monday, statements were made re.
specting the effects Of tobacco calculated,
even more than the pernicious weed itself,
to destroy the nerves OF smokers. Among
other evils which were said to be the re-
suit Of smoking, the following we're
specially enumerated: Cancer, affections
OF the bronchial tubes, loss Of appetite
aud imperfect digestion, disease OF liver
and the respiratory organs, nervous dis
eases generally. One curious fact was
mentioned with deep regret-namely, that
s'of late years smoking had increased
among medical students" 1t is really in
comprehensive how those who are being
educated in the art Of preserving health
at the same time adopt certain method
OF destroying their own. Not the least
melancholy part Of the affair is the fact
that these smoking medical students are
developing into doctors who will, il they
do their duty, feel bound TO cut of their
patients' cigars and pipes.

AID MOMINEM.

The SENTINEL took the ground in q re-
cent article that it il ~impolitic, and
unjust to the laboring classes, to put
them in competition with workmen in
the penitentiaries of this country. The
argument offered then may be repro
duced in substance now. In q nutshell,
it is this:
It is better to recognize the keeping Of
convicts a. a burden upon the public, and
not to endeavor to make penitentiaries
either self sustaining or money-producing
institutions. And this is the reason why:
because the burden of their maintenance
ought to fall upon the rich, who derive
the greatest benefits from the Govern
ment, and justly, therefore, pay the bulk
of taxes for governmental purposes. In
popular government in which the
interests of those who do manual labor
are appreciated, this appears preferable
to any system by which the toiling
masses are brought into actual muscular
strife with the Government itself through
the cheapened labor Of its Jail birds.
Competition with prison labor we regard
as more disastrous in a national sense
than Chinese cheap labor has ever yet
grown to be.
This article was pounced upon by our
contemporary, the Stockton Mail, which,
after lecturing Congressman Cassidy,
presumed to be editing this paper, for
his lack of familiarity with the science
of political economy, INDUCED itself in a
Aatulent discourse on the same subject.
In response, the SENTINEL, which is
not fond of controversy with any OF its
contemporaries, but less SO as regards the
Mail, which is as much . stranger to the
principles of economic policy as it is to
the ethics of journalism, called attention
to the Nails verbiage and characterized
its effort to appear learned and profound
as that of a sophomore. The better

rary could put up with, and it came
back in the following complimentary ed
itorial paragraph:
The Eureka, New, SENTINEL informs
Us that Congressman Cassidy,.its owner,
''has nothing more to do with editing
the SENTINEL than the editor of the Mail
has," This is an important %nounc
ment 80 far as Mr.. Cassidy is concerned,
for it relieves him from all responsibility
for the utterances of the fool who has
taken his place.

sound Sense About Pe,s;on..

In another column of THE TRIBUNE, this
week. we publish very interesting letter
written by Secretary Teller, of the Interior
Department, in reply to communication
from Attorney General Brewster, requesting
him to detail some person to aid the United
States District Attorney in the investigation
of claims for pensions and bounties, and the
charges made against pension attorneys.
The letter is courteous in tone, but the Sec
rotary takes occasion to quietly express his
contempt for the buncombe talk that has
been INDUCED in about the extent of pension
frauds. He quietly reminds the Attorney
General that the Pension Office is able to
attend to the punishment of fraudulent and
bogus claim agents itself, and quotes the
official figures to show what action the
Department has taken during the last few
years. He is also at pains to point out that
the fact that the attorney for claim is dis
covered to be engaged in Illegal practices
argues nothing against the merit of the
claim itself, and very properly declares that
the soldiers application may be heard on its
merits without prejudice on account of the
disreputable character of his agent, and that
the Department must consider all eases filed
for pensions as properly fled, and the appli-
cant worthy and deserving until by proof
the contrary is shown. The Secretary adj
mits that many persons have doubtless been
induced to apply for pensions through the
opportunities OF shystering attorneys, but

battlefield, and that the disabilities which
have resulted therefram are none the less
enfeebling in their effects because they can
not be supported by a hospital record or
identified by scars or mutilations. We trust
that, at the next session of Congress, the
Robineon bin, in its amended form, will be
taken up and pressed to action IF evidence
as to the reality of the sufferings which our
ex-prisoners experienced in Southern pris-
ons is needed, an abundance of it can be
procured without the aid of Union wit
nesses, for the Confederate records them
selves furnish complete and unanswerable
proof-not simply of the brutality with
which Winder and Wirz and their ilk
treated the men under their charge, bat of
the fact that the Southern people themselves
were conscious of this brutality, and pro-
tested IN vain against it. II is on record
that the good women of Americas, Ga, at q
time when the inmates of AndersonyiIle

those who are unaequainted with its merits
to secure subscriptions for it, 1t seems to as
that our subscribers, considering how closely
its welfare touches their own, should esteem
it pleasure and duty to aid in the work
of increasing its circulation. Many of them,
we know, are engaged in engrossing occupa-
tons and can spare but little time from
their regular ayoeations for such a work,
but we trust that such as can find no leisure
at any other time viii devote TO it at least
a portion of the approaching Thanksgiving
Day.
In another column of this issue win be
found q long list of valuable premiums,
which we offer as special inducements to
those who are disposed to raise new clubs of
subscribers for THE TRIBUNE, as also those
who may not be able to obtain more than
one or more new subscriptions, and we
ask for them careful examination by every
reader. The TRIBUNE should have at
least one hundred thousand subscribers
by January 1, 1884, and our comrades can
readily increase the present number of sub
seribers to that figure by that time if they

claims the fallen, without leaving behind it
the slightest sense of humiliation. The
comrade who signs himself Yours, in char
ity," pledges himself thereby to be helpful
to his brother without requiring of that
comrade an acknowledgment of the obliga-
ton.
AS for loyalty, the word as it is employed
by the Grand Army is something more than
mere sentiment. It is expressive of .
devotion to the Union that, tested in the
hot crucible of war, will endure for all time
Whatever evolutions of politics the future
may have in store, the fidelity and patriot
lsia of the men who overthrow the rebellion
and preserved the integrity of the Union
viii never change or alter. Loyalty. with
the members ofthe Grand Army, is living
vital sentiment, looking to the protection of
the Nation against the dangers that may
yet assail it, as well as the full enjoyment of
the blessings which their yaIor has secured
to 1t. When q eomrade signs himself
. Yours, in loyalty, he pledges his life anew
to his country and his comrades for the
maintenance Of the Republic and its free
institutions.
And now that we have thus set forth,
with the clearness of actual knowledge,
the principles of the Grand Army, we
may vel ask why any ex-soldier can be
content to remain aloof from it. Why,
veterans, this Order is the embodiment of
all that you fought for, and the incarnation
of all that is worth living fort 1t is worthy
of you and you are worthy of IT, and we

Since the war closed, generation has
