a MISSOURI comTade objects to the agita-
tion of the temperance question in the
Grand Army on the ground, first, that this
VIII soon be national issue between the
two great political parties, and, second, that
If members of Posts viii do their duty to-
wards their unfortunate brothers they can
prevent them from drinking to excess. As
TO the first objection, we would say that
The TRIBUNE does not propose to raise the
Temperance issue outside of the Post-room.
II does not assume to dictate whether our
comrades should OF should not use, as indi-
Fi1uals, intoxicating liquors whenever they
choose. but it does maintain that the POST
room is net the proper place for such indul-
gence COmradeship and tipping are two
entirely different things, and, as our CORE
EpoDdept does not deny that there are COM
rades who do sometimes drink 10 excess, 1t
seems TO us that it would be for the good
Of the Order to draw line clearly between
the two. AS to the second point. that if
the members Of Posts would do their duty
towards their unfortunate brothers they
could prevent them from drinking to excess
we have this 10 say, namely, that the most
jealous care has frequently proved impotent
to RESTRAIN those who are habituaIly adj
dicted to the use Of stimulants from indulg-
ing their appetites to the full extent Of their
cravings. There are, unfortunately, many
who are not only unable to control their
Thirst, but win not brook restraint from any
one, and we do not think it either right OF
in accordance with the principles of true
fraternity-for certainly the essence of fra
ternify is a regard for each others welfare-
that they should find in the hospitality o.
the POst-rOom temptation to indulge their
fatal weakness. 10. Comrade, if you are fond
of taking a social glass OF beer or wine occa-
sionally, and can do 50 without suffering
any i'll consequences, there are hundreds o.
places and hundreds Of occasions outside O
the POst-roOm on which you can take il
without running The risk of doing injury to
y0nr weaker brother.

Shaw Veterans in New York.

The Robert G. Shaw veteran corps (colored) of
Boston, numbering 40 men, arrived in New
York on the 18th inst, and in the afternoon
paraded through some of the principal streets.
Major James B. Watkins was in command, and
the corps was accompanied by Thaddeus Stevens
Post, and members of Mead and John A.
Andrew Posts. The guests of the corps, w. j.
B. Oxley, of the sixth Massachusetts, regiment,
Adjt. James Gardner, of Post 134, of Massaehu-
sets, and Chaplain Rev. William BuTeh also
accompanied them. The corps made tempo
rary halt in front of the Union League Club,
and sang "The Star Sprangled Banner" and
" America" After the corps returned to its
quarters, addresses were made, refreshments
served. and the day was brought to close by
dancing.

THE BOARDING-oUT SYSTEM
There are little children in the workhouse-
beautiful boys and girls, with the rosy charm
of English ehildhOod-littIe deserted creatures
doomed to the 'dwarfng routine Of the pauper
school and the bad start in life that the
charity child" suffers under in the land OF
Caste But there is new hope for these in the
growing enthusiasm for the "bOardi ng-Out-
system" :. e, the custom of placing each child
IN good home, free from all faint Of pauper-
ism and subject to the compulsory education
law; and there is even more hope for them in
the new responsibility Of the English woman;
in the preventive work which these are doing
among the Wretched families whom restitution
and Encouragement impei TO the deserti0n Of
the more helpless Of their children, and ia the
actual administration of parish relief by
women. The peculiar fitness of this work
rests IN the fact chat WO-thirds of the London
paupers are women and children, and the next
generation must surely feel the benefit confer
red IN this way upon the pauper children OF
the present day.
The most painful feature Of Lambeth work.
house-though it is ali painful-is the assem-
blage of able-bOdied women drunkartls dis

to support themselves. These work well under
direction, and perform all 5he labor Of the in
stitution. but they cannot keep the places that
are found for them, and drift back year after
year, to the mOnOtOuOus security Of work house

wrought upon the English working people,
Individually, they furnish insoIubie problems

The --latest Rerolt of Labor.

The strike of the telegraph operators-or,
to put it more correctly, perhaps, the mem
bers of the Telegraphic Brotherhood
though less formidable in point of numbers
than many other recent reyolts of labor, has
aroused an unusual degree of popular in
terest, as well as popular sympathy. And tits
quite natural that it should be So The
Western Union Company is unquestionably
the most powerful, INSCRIPTIONS and grasp
ing monopoly of the age, and it has been
used by Jay Gould and Cyrus w. Field to
crush out competition and prevent the pub
lie from benefting thereby. Originally a
small and modest corporation, it has been SO
inflated and distended by the watering of its
stock that to earn reasonable dividend it
is forced to maintain tariff of rates far in
excess of what would be necessary in order
to obtain a fair interest on the actual capital
invested, and the public are thus taxed to
glut the greed of stock jobbers It is no
wonder, therefore, that, irrespective of the
merits of their demand for higher wages,
public opinion is on the side of the strikers
Then, too the conduct of the strikers has
been irreproachable They have wisely re-
Trained from all overt acts, and there has
been nothing of a demagogic character either
in the manner of presenting their grievance
or the carrying out of their determination.
In ceasing work on the refusal of the com
panieS to listen to their demands, they but
exercised natural right of labor, and what
ever may be the issue of the struggle, it cam
not be said of them that they have acted
hastily OF without a proper understanding
of the gravity of the situation. Indeed, even
should they be woTsted in the contest, they
viii have nothing to regret, for the spectacle
which they have presented of body OF

the capitalist and dispose him to be more
attentive hereafter to the demands of i'll

case to have been precipitated prematurely
and he will be more inclined hereafter to

a weak one on the other, it is idle to hope

opposes organization with organization arbi-

effect of temporary failure. Success in the
end is pretty sure to reward their efforts.

Where Forrest Got His First Whipping.

To tne Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
In your issue of June IS, Samuel Scott says that
in 1864, the Sixteenth Army Corps met General
Forrest at Tupelo and gave him the first good whip
ping he ever had. Now, if Comrade Scott had been
at Fort DonelsoD February g. 1853 he would have
seen not only General Forrest but, also, Generals
Wheeler and Wharton most beautifully worsted by
nine companies of the Eighty third Illinois v. L.,
Captain Floods battery, Second illinois light artiI

The ORGAN Of the United Brethren
Church in Nebraska takes issue with THE
TRIBUNE on the question of It's right to
expel cOmrade ]. A KenastOn, an elder in
that church, because Of his membership in
the Grand Army, without a fair trial. 1t
declares that the church is justified in such
summary action by rule in its discipline
to the effect that if any of its preachers
or members connects himself with a secret
society, be thereby declares that he prefers
she association ofssaid society to the church,
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1883-07-26

and shall be considered as having withdrawn
from the church, and his name shall be so
entered on the class book, if he be member
of the quarterly or annual conference" This
is mere begging the question. Before the
church has right to expel one of its
members on this ground, it must have proof
of the fact that he has violated the rule.
There must be evidence of his membership
in a secret order. Individual members of
the church may have cognizance of the fact
that he is member of secret order, but
the church cannot be said to have such cog
nizance until the evidence is regularly pre-
sented before its constituted authorities.
Now, the point THE TRIBUNE made was
this, that inasmuch as before the church as
body could act on his case, it must have
before it evidence of Comrade Kenaston's
membership in a secret society, he was
entitled to be heard in reply TO the aceusa-
ton brought against him. The rule in ques-
ton does not specifically mention the Order
Of the Grand Army of the Republic, and
before the church could lawfully have ex-
PEELED him ii would have been necessary to
show that the Grand Army was such secret
order as came within the spirit of the pro-
hibition contained in the discipline, and we
think Comrade Kenaston could have clearly
shown that it was not such an Order. The
truth of the matter is that there is nothing
in the character of the Order which is ire
concilable with a consistent adherence to
the principles of any religion or the require
ments of any creed, and in taking the posi-
ton which it has, the United Brethren
Church has simply discredited itself 1t
viii search Christ's teachings in vain for
any authority for its unjust and unchristian
action.
