and disabled veterans. Tt is needless to say
that this bill ought to became law at the
earliest possible moment
Whatever differences of opinion may exist
among the members of Congress as to the
merits of the various pension and bounty
measures pending before it, there can be, it
seems to us, no ground for disagreement as
to the necessity for this legislation, or as to
the obligation under which the Government
rests to provide it. The military homes
already in existence, as shown by the re-
ports from their managers, are already over
crowded, and unless this new home shall be
speedily founded, many brave and deserving
comrades must inevitably perish of want and
disease, or be condemned to exc out mis-
cradle existence in some county almshouse.

The Retirement of General Sherman.

The President on the 18th inst issued the
following order announcing the retirement of
General Sherman:
Csea William r. Sherman, general Of the army
having this day reached the age OF aixty-fotlr
years, is in accordance with law. placed upon the
retired list of the army, without restriction in his
current pay and allowances.
The announcement Of the severance from the
command of the army OF one who has been so
many years its distinguished chief can but awaken
in the minds not only of the army, but of the peo-
pie of the United States, mingled emotions of re-
greet and gratitude-regret AT the withdrawal from
active military service of an officer whose lofty
sense Of duty has been a model for ali soldiers
since he first entered the army in July 1870 and
gratitude freshly awakened for the services of in
ca.culable value rendered by him in the war for
the Union, which his great military genius and
daring did much 10 end.
The President deems this fitting occasion to
give expression in tins matter othe gratitude felt
toward General Sherina. by his fellow izesis,
and 10 uise that Providence nay gcsnt him Inany
years Of hsalta nna Happiness in the relief from
tic active Guties OF MS profession.

Not in Favor OF a Commission.

Shall the whole question of pension leg
islation be turned over by the present Con-
gress to a Commission, and action postponed
until that Commission reports in December
next, after the Presidential election? If
we may judge from the letters of protest
that we are receiving, and of which the fol-
lowing is a fair sample the reply of our vet
Grams is an emphatic negative:
WEIsvILIE, Mo-
TO the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
see by your last issue that there seems to be
disposition on the part OF the House Committee on
Pensions 20 evade the responsibility for action UNI
til after the next election by referring the whole
question OF pension legislation TO committee TO
report next December Tbct looks iit1e gau@y!
If Congressman desire TO do justice TO the sol
der let them 90 to worl, like men and doit They
know very well what is due US. We want nothing
but fair treatnent-the same that the other credit
CTS Of the Government long ego received.
Let them enact the arrears bill, the equalization
Of bounties bin, pension the e-prisoners Of war,
and remove little Of the red tape that now stands
in the way Of getting pension claim adjusted,
and all VIE be well. or course there are other
matters that need adjusting but itlooks TO an old
soldier az if these points covered nearly all the
ground. No. siri we are not going TO permit them
10 dodge the issue IN that manner. Wehave friends
in both houses, who are good and true, that will
force the issue upon them, whether they are will
ing not And, further. let them not forget that
We VIII be AT the polls next November, one million
strong, and by the aid of TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
VIII be able TO spot them all. and send our bal
lots in the same direction that our bullets went
towards the enemy.

THIs interesting exhibition Of InaIiee and
ignorance is from the caristiap Evangelist.


ignorance is from the Christian Evangelist:
Sot satisfied with the extrayagant and wretch
eddy imperfect pension laws passed four years ago
on the eve of Presidential election, the dema-
goglIes are again st work, and over hundred
bills have already been introduced into Congress to
extend the list IL would DE as well if orr legis-
Iators would take note of the fact that no nation on
the face Of the earth ever passed as liberal laws rs
those now upon our statute books Commissioner
Dudley estimates that thereare 425 eco pensioners
and that it will require more than billion OF dol
lars TO pay out the pensions. Samuel Randall
chairman Of the House Appropriations Committee
WHO has studied the figures very closely, reports
that for number of years s4i 900 will be re-
oiired annually to meet the pension bills No less
than a quarter of q million claims pending, and
the arrearages act has been wonderful stimulus
to perjury and fraud Theconntry is well satisfied
to aid in supporting IFS crippled injured soldiers
bet the honest soldiery are as much opposed 10
opening the doors for dishonesty and to useless
extravaganza as are the whole Nation, except the
claim agents. the cheats and the demagogues II
would be well for our legislators To consult some
other constituents than the patriotic agents before
they pass another bill kindred to that of four years
ago.
The veteran who sends as the above clip
ping, and who has sbeen regular subscriber
to the Evangelist, adds that he has ordered
the publishers to stop his paper. 1t was
high time that he did. Il more unchristian
evangelist than this it has not been our for
tune to meet with since the days when the
Vicksburg papers were printed on wal
paper and they were qi1ite gentle in their
denunciation of our soldiers compared with
this unpatriotic sheet.

II is estimated that in the District Of CO.

thousand ex-soldiers. There is material,
therefore, for large increase in the men,

and Commander Alexander, we are glad to
learn, intends to rush the work of recruiting
during his administration. There is no
reason why every stray veteran should not
be mustered into the Order, if orr comrades

tematic canvass of thu field.

Thc stern Floods.

The recurrence in the Ohio Valley Of a
flood, scarcely less destructive than that
which devasted the same region year ago,
IS certainly very alarming event. To say
nothing Of the enormous loss of property
which it entails and the interruption of bu-
siness which it involves, the amount of per-
sonal suffering which it has caused entities
it TO be regarded as a national calamity.
According To the telegraphie reports, whole
villages have been inundated, and the in
llabitants, cut off from all communication
with the outside world, have been reduced
to state of absolute want. Ia many in
stances the rising waters have carried away
houses and crops, and left their owners lit
orally without. reef to shelter them or means
Of livelihood. Fortunately, the loss of life
has 80 far been comparatively small, owing
20 the ample warning that was given of the
rise Of the rivers; but the exposure to the
weather to which thousands have been sub,
jected, through the loss of their homes and
the lack of the neeessarjes of life, have UNI
doubleday occasioned a vast amount of phys
ical distress and suffering.
Ii is evident, TOO, that the after effects o
the food win be of the most deplorabls
character. Extensive repairs viii be neces
sary TO buildings which have been under
mined by the turbulent waters and it viii
require large expenditure of money to re
furnish and make them habitable again

General Smith writes that as time permits

aeter, If the total amount raised is sufi-
cient, and held in trust by board Of re-

The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1884-02-14

The stoppage of mills and factories and the
temporary paralysis OF trade must, at the
same time, deprive the poor Of employment
and increase the necessity of public relief
Under the circumstances, therefore, it was
cminently proper that Congress should come
to the relief of the sufferers, and, in view of
the representations of the Senators and Rep
resentatives from the flooded districts, its
appropriation OF 100000 is none too liberal.
AS to whether anything can be done to
avert similar eatastrophies in the future,
that seems to be question beyond the
ability of anybody to solve. The prevalence
in recent years of these devastating freshets
has heen ascTibed by some sagaeious OBJ
servers to the wholesale destruction of our
forests by which the distribution Of the
rainfall has been seriously affected, but the
fact that as long ago as 1882 the Ohio Valley
was ravished with food Of equal volume
with the present, although not equally dis
astrous, would seem to indicate that these
destructive oyeTfows are not the result Of
that cause alone. It viii naturally occur to
those who give the subject any thought
that the liability Of Ohio River towns to
damage by these frequently recurring floods
might be greatly reduced by removing the
centers of traffic to localities above high
water mark, but that, unfortunately, is an
impossibility, since proximity to the river
banks is a condition eff the successful con-
duct of trade and in many cases-as at
Portsmouth, Ohio, for instance the eleya-
ton OF the ground is not anywhere sufficient
to insure exemption from danger.
The most that can be done, perhaps to
lessen the suffering and diminish the losses
which these overaows occasion, is to organ
lie permanent relief system of some sort,
by means of which, upon the approach of a
food, the threatened points may be secured
against the hardships resulting from lack Of
fuel and provisions.
