TO WHOM PRAISE Is DUE.
Bless the Lord for removing Dudley.-NELsoS
HENDRIcH. Riverside. Mich.
PENSION COMMISSIONER.
= Who should Succeed the Incompetent Dudley.

who Should Succeed the incompetent Dudley.
To THE EDITOR: All over the country COM
rades are specializing as TO who should be
made the successor IN the Office Of Commits
sioner of Pensions of the Disappointing and
utterly Incompetent Col. w. w. Dudley. That
he should be succeeded by the most fit man in
the country Is matter of the highest i'm
portance TO more people than almost any other
officer Of the Government who could be named.
Ii IS specially necessary that, In order to
have this successor the right man, the soldiers
should bestir themselves and unite on some
one who combines all the qualities desira-
bic in sHch an official. In the first place,
he should be soldier and thoroughly
in harmony with the ideas and feelings
of the soldier. It is desirable that he
should have served through the war and should
have belonged to the ranks, if proper man of
this kind can be found. think there can be.
In Gen Paul Van Dervoort, Past Commander
in-Chief Of the Grand Army Of the Republic,
we have man who entered the army when a
boy as an enlisted man; served faithfully and
courageously; was taken prisoner while doing
his duty, and suffered all the horrors that were
involved in confinement at Belle Isle, Ander-
sonville and other rebel prisons. Fortunately,
getting out before the end of the war he re-
turned to his service in the field as soon as able
and was in the ranks with his comrades until
peace came. Since the war there has been no
man more active and influential in behalf of
the soldiers than he. He has been leader in the
Grand Army, and has been interested in every
movement 10 ameliorate the condition of SOL
diers and secure their just rights. The scope
and compTebcnsiveness Of his views and the
tact with which be has been able TO impress
them upon Congress and the people and upon
the comrades themselves has borne rich fruit
Ia organizing movements in behalf of the sol
diers and in securing the desired legislation
Ii is doing no injustice to other comrades TO
say that no man in the United States more
thoroughly understands the needs of the SOL
diers and the proper way TO minister to them
than COmrade Van Deryoort. His appointment
would give satisfaction from Maine to Califor-
MIA, for everywhere the soldiers know him and
understand something of his energy and exec
utiye ability.
earnestly urge on the comrades that we at
once unite in pressing Comrade Van Dervoort's
name upon the authorities for Commissioner OF
Pensions Comrades, let US hear from you
speedily.-YErERAH, Toledo, o., Oct. 1.

An Answer to "Justice."

To THE EDITOR: Nothing contained IN your
Headquarters Notes of Sept. called for the
communication signed Justice in your issue
of Sept. 16. The animus of that c0mmunlca-
tion is SO patent to Fort Wayne comrades that
it is unnecessary for their information to state
that it proceeded from insane jealousy on the
part of single comrade who, unfortunately,
allows his private spites to obtrude themselves
upon the public gaze.
The criticisms $ Justice y makes by inuendo
upon Commander-in-C Chief Kountz have no
foundation whatever. The Cominander-ln-
Chief accepted the invitation of the Veteran
Committee to be present at their Reunion upon
Saturday. As Friday, the night previous, was
the regular meeting night of Sion S. Bass Post,
it occurred to the officers of that organization
that if the Commander could be prevailed upon
to come to Fort Wayne on Friday afternoon or
evening and be present at muster, it would re-
suit in very largely recruiting our ranks. They
began, therefore, q correspondence with him
having this object in view. AT some inc0nve-
nience to himself he at last consented to reach
here at $50 Friday evening and be present at
our meeting and conduct the muster-in cere-
monies. Later he arranged to reach hero a
few hours earlier. The honor of being person.
ally mustered into the Grand Army by the
Commander in Chief enabled US to secure for
that evening the very large number of 7S re-
cruits thereby carrying our membership to 624
comrades. Over 500 Grand Army men wit
messed the muster in services, including
the Commander in Chief, Ben. d. House,
A. A. g., and Jasper E. Lewis, A. O. III. G., Of
this Department, and many visiting comrades
from large number of other Posts from North
eastern Indiana
The only unpleasant incident of the Reunion
was an attempt made ON Friday evening to
force the Commander-in-C Chief to break his en-
gagement with us and repair to the camp
ground instanter, under a threat that unless
he did the Veteran Committee would not recog-
nize him as their guest at any time during his
stay. The Commander very quietly but very
firmly told the bearer of this message that he
could not for moment think of acting in such
bad faith toward Sion s. Bass Post; that he
had accepted the invitation of the Veteran
Committee for Saturday, and only reached here
on Friday for the express purpose of being
present that evening at the Post muster.
1t is but justice to the Veteran Committee to
add that, so far as have been informed, the
threat bearer" was not authorized to convey
to the Commander-in-C Chief such message as
that delivered.
Commander-in-C Chief Kountz while here met
with very warm reception, and left upon all
a very favorable and pleasant impression, with
the possible exception of Justice."-D. N.
FOSTER, Past Commander Sion s. Bass Post,

A scheme-A suggestlon to pensioner..

To THE EDITOR It is with much back
wardnes5 that / come forward to give You
pointer in what think is grand scheme y
for the benefit of disabled ex-soldiers and q loss
to no one. You well know that great many
men receive from this great glorious and lib
eTal Government the generous amount of from
50 to s. per month. Every three months the
old cripple limps TO the County Clerk, with
witnesses TO prove that he is the identical
Yank the pension certificate calls for. He pays
Mr. Clerk % cents for his valuable services,
and when the check comes he pays the bank
(the National Bank y another little payment
for cashing said check, etc, etc. The facts are
that the pensioner nearly earns what he re-
ceiyes from the check, after all has pull at it,
to say nothing about his bleeding and dying
ON the Potomac or Rappahannock; and then,
tits such bit of drib and don't amount to
anything really does the cripple no good.
Better give it to the bondholder, the poor
pitiful bondholder, who risked and suffered so
much for the country. The Government should
look after the bondhoders, right sharp, too
There is $3.50. 100000, or about, locked up in
Sans box that he don't know what to do with
If that cash was spread out among the peo-
pie business would be more brisk we would
all get chance to earn a dollar or two. There
is plenty in the Treasury to do what / pro-
pose TO have done, and have right smart
chance left, not forgetting that Samuel hired
the boys in '61 to get shot at for $12 per month,
and paid them off at about 81. Now, if this
Uncle Sam, whom the boys dared SO much
for 20 years ago, wants to do the old lads good
turn, let him pay them all, thatso desire, say 10
years in advance. Then the old boys will have
something to buy themselves a little home or
to start little business with. Samuel will
then be able to let some of those smart Pension
Bureau clerks skip out and earn the bread they
eat-quite a saving and, no doubt, that soldiers
friend, Col. Dudley, would be happy. But,
some of these soldiers friends will say, some of
these pensioners might die in one year. and
Sam will be out of pocket in the transaction
Can't you arrange things so that the pensioner
will receive 10 years in advance and not die;
or else have them all die and let us have done
with this monkey farce of soldiers friends.

Advantages that AYERS SARSAPARILLA
Possesses over all Others.

It has been before the public for nearly
forty years, and has constantly grown
in popular favor, both At home and
abroad, until there Is hardly place in the
civilized world where it has not host OF
friends, made go by its marvellous cures.
1t has been used in. and approved By,
at least 4, ,06G.G00 families in the United
States, and Z ,000, eco throughout the world.
Women have especial reasons for cor
mendIng it.
1t has proven IT'S potency in curing
obstinate, deeply-seated, and long-stand-
ing diseases caused by vitiatfon OF the
blood. 1t must not, however, be ex-
pected and Is not claimed that . single
bottle VIII cure such cases; but patients
should perseyere Ia the use Of this remedy
until a radical cure is effected.
1t is the only blood-purifer that has won
and retained the confidence Of the people
of all tropical countries, where such meds-
eines are much required.
It is the only medicine Of its class thas
sailors, as q rule, have any faith in-and
they are right.
The National tribune., 1884-10-09

1t Is composed Of the most efficaeious
Alternative, diuretic, and tonic drugs known
In pharmacy, among which ara the
genuine Honduras Sarsaparilla, Yellow
Dock, Stillingia, and the Iodides OF Potas-
sium and Iron.
It is highly concentrated medicine,
scientifically and honestly compounded so
as to secure to IL the highest degree Of
activity and perfect uniformity.
1t has received the hearty endorsement
of the leading men In the medical profess
sion, who recognize it as q standard phar-
maceutical preparation, and prescribe it
In their practice.
1t contains no poisonous minerals or
other dangerous drugs, the use Of which
for temporary effect Id the many crude
and cheap mixtures sold as alternatives,
produces effects on the system often worse
than the diseases they are offered to cure.
1t costs no more than any other, but
would still be the cheapest blood-purify-
Ing medicine in the world, even were its
price three times greater, since 1t Is the
only one that does "real, lasting good.D

THE NEWSPAPERS will not let
Mr.. Barnum and his white elephant
alone, but keep On exposing him
just as If he didn't like to be shown
up as the greatest humbug en- earth,
and also as if he were the only man
who had an ugly white elephant on
his hands. Prof. Ray Lancaster. of
England, has been called into the
controversy over the quadruped, and
he declares that 1t is an ordinary
black elephant, with a few SMALL
patches of flesh color about his head
a common condition in his race and
a Disagreement rather than a
beauty. Lancaster has also gone
deeper into the merits of the fraud,
and declares that the alleged Bur-
mese priests brought along with the
beast to conduct a worship, are no
priests; that Bsrnum paid less than
$500 for the animal, instead Of the
100000 advertised as the cost, and
what is still more appalling, the
professor asserts positively that the
white elephant is never worshiped.
He concludes: "The verdict, not only
OF scientific men, but of I'll persons
who are not to be deluded by spirit
ualists, thought readers, quack doc
tors, electrical patents, queens Of
comedy and other American inven-
tions, must assuredly be that Bar
NUNS elephant and its attendent
priests are an .impudent fraud"
All of which is very, very sad, bat
it is equally very, very good for Mr..
Barnum. A genuine, b onest, white
elephant would take away Phineas
IT'S reputation as q humbug, and
reputation once gone, what " ould
Barnum be?

in this manner they lose self
respect, and suffer IS well loss
in a certain degree, of that SELF
reliance and independence which
have characterized the American
people. The right of Congress to
make these appropriations is also
questionable. People do not find

that the national treasury is full OF

Of the needy and suffering is always

A WORTHY EXAMPLE.

Senator Ransom, Of North Caro-
lima, did a wise thing yesterday by
withdrawing the petition that he
presented the day before, fer money
for the sufferers from the recent
hurricanes In the South. These
appeals to Congress are becoming
entirely too frequent. 1t is not a
healthy sign for individuals or COM
nunities to ask charity whenever
misfortune overtakes them. Every
