To THE EDITOR: Next year the Grand
Army will wend its way towards the Golden
Gate, and the people of San Francisco will not
fail to entertain the boys in blue with the
bounties of earth. Many soldiers would per-
haps like to make California their future home
were inducements su tficient to warrant of such
an undertaking. Now, if some comrade living
in the State would undertake to furnish all the
information necessary 10 those desiring to
comedy giving information where the best

stead and presumption; (2) giving distance

ing into the State l think great many COM
rades and their families would be interested,
and give this matter their attention. In con-
clusion, as the railroads will give low rate ex-
cursiOn tickets to San Francisco and return,
would it not be equally good plan to give all
honorably discharged soldiers and their fami-
lies who may wish to emigrate to California q
reduction of fare one way? If the committee
having charge of securing low rates of fare
would look into this matter think there would
be no trouble in securing low rates one way, and
a great many of the veterans would take up
their abode with our Pacific cousins. Now,
comrades, let us hear from you in this matter.

PENSION TALK.
''ScaIpei" Replies TO ''Pcnsioner' in Regard to
Kirksyile Board.

To THE EDITOR: Being unwilling to DO any
man an injustice, beg space in The TRIBUNE,
in answer to "Pensioner" in regard to the
kirksyille Board, and a qualification of my
first article, in so far as he takes umbrage.
Pensioner praises the bridge that carries him
safely over" So does "Scalpel," for our local
Boards have been liberal, cOnsiderate and just.
PensiOner indOrses the first paper, of Aug. q,
but, like another historical genius, objects to
his "oXen being gored" Pensioner could not
fail TO know the gentlemen referred TO, giving
him credit for ordinary insight and reflection,
when l use the following language in third
paragraph: This is a mixed Board-One Demo
crat and two Republicans" etc. Once for all,
the gentlemen / referred to were Drs. Burton,
Willard, and Pierce. Pensioner has done me
injustice by Juggling in other gentlcmen-past,
present, and future. He is bidding for sympa-
thy, and begging the question. Scalpel is per-
fectly satisfied with DIR. Burton, for he was a
soldier, and is the soldiers friend; and except
the two other men of the one old Board he has
no grievance, nor does he anticipate any in the
future. Ii in mixed Boards the two political
elements only vie with each other, who shall
be most magnanimOus with the wards of the
Nation" all will be well; and / think the in
tention of Gen. Black is to neutralize the pos
sible evils of strictly party Boards; and if the
Boards carry out tie evident intentions of their
chief, there will be more liberality than ever
BEFORE otherwise these instruments of protec-
ton viii become claymores, which will pierce
in all directions and slaughter 1--WE uns" with
out mercy or redress.
certainly may speak Of an Examiner being
wealthy without mourning the unjust infer
ence of PensiOner, that insinuate" that he
did not come by it honestly. That reflection
| is entirely gratuitOus. Farther, know of four
men in or near my neighborhood, drawing Sc
and So per month, who were rejected by the
Board just previous TO the reorganization, at
kirksville. And in my own case | suffered for
weeks from the rough handling of DR.. Willard.
judge the new Board is all right, two of them
having been soldiers. For myself, ] have a
remedy if do not wish to go before particu-
lar Board; but there are many poor fellows
who are not so well Informed as to their rights,
whose pensions have been gotten by the aid of
friends, and who are virtually at the mercy of
whatever Board before which they may be Or
dered.
Pensoner has succeeded in abusing Scalpel
satisfactorily to himself, no doubt, but it comes
with bad grace from one who has profted
from what he is pleased to term abuse" 1t
has been the persistent overhauling of pension
methods by the soldiers friends, including
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, that has wrought
such reforms, and raised the average pensioner

He Likes Silver Dollars.

To THE EDITOR: Allow me, as one of the
common people, to express my views on the sill
yer question, having read about the silver dol
lars in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE. This village
of about 1000 inhabitants contains four fac
tories. One pays its help every two weeks and
the others once month. Between pay days
the employees get credit from the merchants, |
being one. They are paid in 10 and 20-dollar
bills as much as possible. Then the trouble be-
gins One or two 20-dolar bills rob the
drawer of change. Settlements of accounts
take place in the evening, and some accounts
have to lie over for lack of change to break the
large bills. This condition of finances encour-
ages a slackness in settlements, and several
days are consumed in closing the accounts that
should and could be paid at once if the mill
people were paid in convenient currency.
These considerations have led me to the
theory that large bills are nuisance and sill
yer dollars are blessing; that the issue of
large bills should be stopped and silver dollars
issued in their stead-that is, if the convent
ence of the masses of the people is to be con-
sidered. T. for one, am glad to get the silver
dollars-MILEs II. DELoNG, Greenwich, n. Y.

Is the Soldier pIarrh Ont,

To THE EDITOR: 1t is a standing shame to
the people of the North that many of the men
who suffered loss of health or limbs by service
in the late war, are allowed to need, as many
of them do, for employment and from those
whose battles they aided in fighting. What
would be the condition of the country, and of
these rich men of large cities, if that little
band of Pennsylvanians of the Second Corps,
under Hancock, had quailcd before that brave
charge of Pick tt's men ut Gettysburg, and the
conquering rebels had gone on TO Philadelphia
and New York? The soldier was not played
out" then! How many fair promises were
made to the boys who dropped all and rushed
TO the front, that we should never suffer, etc. !;
but while we were at the point of danger, our
brave, rich home guards grasped the many
chances then offered and made many dollar
at sharp tricks on the Government and the
army. Again, many of the young soldiers of
the war are handicapped in the struggle of life,
from the fact of q limited education, as the
best years of our lives-and years when we
should have been in school or grasping the
chances held out to every American boy-we
gave to our country. When we returned we
had to take up with anything left by the brave
home guards
We also cannot hope to contend with young
men who had the benefit of college, nor to an
swer questions as to the width of the Amazon
River or the distance to the moon.
1t is truly notifying to see disabled soldiers
eking out miserable existence, when so many
light duties might furnish employment to sus-
tain them and their families with the common
necessaries of life. Unfortunately some of the
soldiers thus disabled do not conduct them
selves as they should, being rendered careless
or desperate by the neglect they suffer; but
even they arc deserving of some attention for
the sake of suffering wives or dependent fami-
lies. Disease and suffering should disarm pre-
JUDGES, should at least arouse the feelings of
the people in behalf of those who suffered for
their sake. The Governments has been liberal
in the way of pensions, but are the people alb
solved by this from the duty of attending fur
ther to the old soldiers? They should furnish
such light employment as may be suitable for
aiding the manned soldiers to sustain their suf-
fering dependents. Had these soldiers fallen
in battle or died in military hospitals, their
graves would be strewn with flowers, in token
of respect for their services by people favor
able to the cause for which they gave their
lives. As these lives are prolonged, let not the
multlated or diseased survivors have further
occasion to wish, in their desperation, that
they had been killed in battle, rather than pre-
served for suffering under neglect and pow
erty. Should danger arise, how quick the
country would look to the old veterans of the
war once more. Would the soldier be played
out" then EDWIN ID. WATSON Saratoga

York.
