CLINE OF DUTY"
An Important Ruling OF Commissioner Blae
Touching the Question OF.

An Important Ruling OF Commissioner Black
Touching the Question OF.
In order to give title to pension under exist
ing laws it is necessary that the wound, injury
or disease on account of which the claim is
made shall have been incurred in the service of
the United States and in the :" line Of duty"
What constitutes line of duty" is one of the
most difficult and perplexing questions which
the Commissioner of Pensions is called upon to
decide. The question presents itself for his
consideration in an infinite variety of phases.
During the late war soldiers were injured or
disabled in every conceivable manner and
under all kinds of circumstances, so that to
decide when a soldier was or was not in the
"line of duty" is often no easy matter.
In the case in question, recently decided by
Gen. Black, the circumstances were these
soldier on duty in Louisville, KY, on the 18th
of February, 1868, acting under the orders 0f his
superior officer, was conveying a rebel prisoner
from one portion of the city to another. While
he was passing the Gait House an officer BELONG
ing to an Indiana regiment came out of the hotel
with friend and passed down the steps to the
pavement. The officer, under the influence of
liquor, staggered or ran against the soldier. An
alteration ensued, during which the officer
and his friend wrenched the soldiers gun from
his hand. The soldier resisted, and su:S
quenty regained possession of his weapon, aud
passed on with his prisoner The officer rOs;,.d
the street, turned, and came part way lHi' K
toward the soldier. and when about the mi fiis
of the street fired several shots from rerrlrer
at the soldier. one of which took effect IN his
left groin, producing serious-and what at t''e
time was supposed to be fatal-wound. The
officer was arrested and the soldier was taken
to the hospital.
In the claim Of this soldier for pension on
account of the wound received. under the cir
euInstances above described, Gen. Black decided
as follows: Line of duty" accepted, and case
may be passed as approved for pistol shot wound
of left groin.
1T was the claimants duty to retain posses
sion of the prisoner in his charge. TODD so it
was necessary for him to be armed. 1t was his
duty to resist unto the death. if necessary, any
attempt to disarm him, and if during such an
attempt the soldier was wounded, such wound
should be regarded as having been received il
the line of duty"

THE PITrsBURG CRUELTY.

What steps, if any, are the Pennsylvania
comrades taking with reference to the re-
cent expulsion of 20 disabled soldiers from
the West Penn Hospital, at Pittsburg? So
grave an act as that should not be allowed
to pass without the sternest denunciation.
Whoever was responsible for the shameless
abandonment Of those deserving men to the
cold mercies of the poorhouse should be pill
loried before the whole community The
Directors of the Hospital, upon whom fell
the ungracious duty of turning the old sol
diers out, performed their task with kind
ness and delicacy that cannot be too greatly
praised. They knew who was responsible
for the disgrace to the great State of Penn
sylvania, and did not hesitate to point him
out and characterize his conduct as it de-
served. They did all they could in the mat
ter--they retained the inmates in the hos
pital to the last moment that the funds at
their disposal would permit, and then
pointed out very plainly whose fault it was
that they were not allowed to do more.

OUR KNIFE.

There is simply no better or more dura-
BILE knife made than the one which we offer
those who will raise club of subscribers
for THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE. The Miller
Bros, who make it, stand at the head Of the
cutlery manufacturers of the country, and
the knife they furnish us is superior in all
respects to those to be found in the stores.
They are anxious to have the trade of the
large constituency of THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE, for every knife that we send out for
them is a good advertisement of the excel
lenee of their wares. Consequently they
will allow nothing but the most satisfactory
knives to be sent out We want only sub
scribers to the paper to take advantage Of
our offer, and We expect to confne it to
them, or to boys who are the sons Of onI
subscribers. IL any one gets a knife which
is not precisely as we recommend it, we
want him TO send it back at our expense.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE WASHINGTON c. THURSDAY JULY 49, 1885,

This is all that they could do to relieve
themselves and the community of the
shame of the cruel desertion in their hour
of need of men who never deserted
the country in its hour Of need. 1t is at
this point that the comrades of Pennsylva-
MIA should take the matter up. Every Post
in the grand, patriotic old Keystone State
should make itself heard in denunciation of
the enormity. The man responsible for it
should be brought to the bar of public opin-
ion and required to explain his conduct, and
to give sufficient reasons why he shall not
be punished for it by burial in his political
grave Then steps should be taken to bring
such influence to bear upon the next session
of the Legislature as to secure provision
that the State shall be saved from any such
disgraceful exhibitions in the future It is
the duty of the Uuited States Government
to provide that none who served it in its
day Of need shall now be suffering for the
necessaries of life, but until such legislation
can be obtained from Congress the States
must take care of the b2oken-down old sol
diers within their boundaries. The wealthy
State of Pennsylvania is entirely able to do
this, and her people are willing. 1t only
remains for the comrades of the GAR to
see that the matter is properly presented to
them

The loyal blue and the traitor gray,
Alike in the grave sleeping.
Lying side by side in the sunlight's ray
And under the storm clouds weeping.
lis well to forgive the past.
God giving Us grace we may,
But never while life shall last
Can we honor or love the gray.
Our Boys in Blue were loyal and true.
FOR their God ana their country dying;
With grateful pride that ever is new
We garland their graves where they're lying
They were murdered by rebel bands,
They fell in the fearful FRAY
Guarding our Flag from traitors hands;
We do not lore the gray.
We would not hate them, our hearts would krin
Cast vail DER their shameful story
1t will not bring back our loyal slain,
To recall their treason CORY:
But barriers deep and wide,
Divide the false from the true;
Shall treason and honor stand side by side
Is the gray the peer of the blue
Answers each loyal heart to-day,
They are peers and equals never;
No wreath on q traitors grave lay
Let shame be his weed forever.
Give love where love is due
To the loyal all honor pay
Love and honor belong to the blue,
But what do we owe the gray?
We owe them three hundred thousand graves,
Where the loved and lost are lying
We owe them where eer our banner waves,
Homes filed with tears and signing.
Do they think that we forget our dead,
Our boys who wore the blue
That because they sleep in the same cold bed.
We know not the false from tine true?
Believe it not; where our heroes lie
The very ground is holy;
His name who dared for the right to die
Is sacred. however lowly;
But honor the traitor gray
Make it the peer of the blue,-
One flower at the feet of the treason lay?
NeverI while God is true.

CONTRIBUTION BY GEN. COMFY.

CONIhiBtiiON Bf GEN. COhLAe
In week or two we shall have the pleas
ure of laying before our readers a graceful
and interesting contribution by Maj.-Gen.
James M. Comfy, formerly Minister to the
Hawaiian Islands, and a journalist of national
reputation for saying bright and pungent
things. Gen. Comfy has brilliant army
record. He went out as an officer in the 23d
Ohio, a regiment which had probably more
notable men among its officers than any
other in the Union service It's first Colonel
was no less person than w. S. ROsecrans,
its second E. P. Scammon, its third r. B.
Hayes, afterwards President of the United
States and its fourth Gen. Comfy. Hon.
Stanley Matthews was Lieutenant Colonel.
We have importuned Gen. Comfy from time
to time to write for US, and at last he has
consented, and it is the highest praise that
we can give the article to say that it is
well worthy of him.
The National tribune., 1885-07-23
67 per cent, or more than two out Of every
three in its ranks.
At Chickamauga Gen. Rosecrans had
$1,000 electives in line. OF these he lost:


Many of those at the time reported as
missing were subsequently discovered to
have been killed, and the total number of
killed is now stated at upwards of 1000.
This makes the proportion of killed nearly
per cent. and Of wounded II per cent, or
p per cent. of the fighting men struck. The
heaviest loss fell upon Steedman's Division,
which lost Al per cent. killed and wounded
between 9 p. M and dark of the second day.
Woods, Daviss, and Sheridan's Divisions
each had more than 40 per cent. of their
fighting strength killed and wounded.
Gen. Bragg, who brought 10000 men intos
action, admitted officially that he lost two
fifths, or 40 per cent of them. Gen. Long
street, whose corps was part of Bragg's
forces, reported that he had lost 36 per cent.
of his men.
The truth u.s. the world never saw any
harder fighting than was done during the
rebellion, and very rarely saw any that came
near its bloodiness and determination.

WHEN SHALL THE ENCAMPMENT BE
HELD?

HELD?
The date at which the National Encamp-
ment shall be held in San Francisco is a
matter of more than usual Importance. The
visit to the Pacific coast will cost those who
make it a good deal of money and much
time 1t can hardly be made in less than a
month and let those who 60 see any great
portion of the sights that will be offered to
the visitors. Unquestionably the trip will
be richly worth all that it costs anyone, but
there should be very careful consideration as
to what dates will best suit the greatest
number of those who desire to attend
1t has been urged that the trip can prob
ably be made most pleasantly the last of
May or the early part of June. Then the
great plains and the towering mountains
and the wonderful heritage of the Pacific
coast are seen at their best in the new suits
of green in which Nature has decked them
Later on, the dry seasons effects are mani
tested in soreness Of leaf and grass
On the other hand, it is pointed out that
May and June esthe busiest months all
over the country, and then is the time when
it it most difficult for everybody to get away
for vacation. The farmer is busy in his
fields from dawn till dark, the merchant is
in the full tide of his Spring and Summer
trade, the manufacturer is running every
wheel, all the courts are in session, and the
school terms are in their most important
period. A few weeks later the harvest is
over, the corn is laid by, the schools are dis
missed, the courts are closed, the factories
are shut down, Midsummer stagnation
reigns in business, and the natural time for
vacation is at hand. The Knights Templar,
who attended the Grand Conclave held
at San Francisco in August, report that they
found the weather, going, coming, and dur
ing their stay in San Francisco, very pleasant,
indeed.
These are the outlines of some of the ar
guments used in advocacy of early and late
dates AS we have said before, matter of
SO much Importance to so many people
should be discussed fully, and we invite the
comrades all over the country to give THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE their views on the
subject.

THE employment of hired detectives
from Chicago to guard the mill property in
the Saginaw region has not pleasant look.
Undoubtedly the mill people have right to
bring reliable men from wherever they can
find them to guard their interests, but at the
to the local authorities to preserve the peace
and protect property. The people of the
Saginaw Valley are w-abiding citizens,
and the time is far distant we hope, when
we cannot trust any community with the
task of maintaining order in its own terri
tory.

is told in direct, soldierly way. that makes
