INTEREST vs.. PENSIONS.

The striking comparison which Secretary
lamar and Commissioner Black have made
of the amount paid bondholders with that
paid pensioners have naturally arrested at
tention and provoked discussion.
To the devout believer in the divine rights
of money it comes like an unexpected
shower-bath to be reminded from high Off
cials that there is something fully as sacred
as coupons and the regular recurrence of
interest day.
The Boston Adcerfiser, the organ par
erccIIcRce Of the Boston Lords of the
Dividend, can scarcely believe its highly
respectable senses that any officer of the
Government should encourage such heresy
1t is not enough for it that men shall con-
cede all the just and reasonable rights OF
money-they must give it a supreme and
unapproachable Divinity lit would make
the third commandment read
"Thou shalt have no other Gods before
Money thou shalt not bow thyself down to
any other God, nor serve it, for it is a jealous
God, and will assuredly punish thine in
iquity."
No honest man has questioned the right OF
| the bondholders to all that they have re-
ceiyed, though they have been richly repaid
for every dollar they lent to the Government
and every risk they took. But Secretary
Lamar's and Commissioner Blacks compari-
sons show that as one class of the Govern
nlents creditors have been treated with a
| liberality that ran into generosity, another
class who gave vastly more, have the right to
be treated justly. Soldiers themselves-and
gallant ones-the Secretary and Commis.

TWO USEFUL BOOKS.

Scribner's " Lumber and Log Book" is one
the most valuable books published in regard
to lumber, which contains vast mass of
useful information for men engaged in that
business, besides farmers and any body who
may, at any time, handle this material.
Another valuable book we have on hand at
this time is Fishers Grain Tables" 1t
contains 200 pages in small pocket form, and
gives over 10000 different calculations of
grain. This book will prove invaluable to
every business-like farmer. We will mail
either of these two books to any address for
a club of three subscribers to THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, or will furnish either on receipt
of one new subscriber to THE NATIONAL

OPINIONS ON GRAND ARMY RULES.

lNoTICE.-Inquire5 Grand Army matters of
general interest and proper for publication will be
answered in this column by Past Commander-in-
Chief Beath. It will be of course understood that
such answers simply personal, or in the way of
advice which one cOrlrade may properly give
other. Questions requiring official answers must
be submitted to the proper authorities.
INFORMAL BALLOT.
If an informal ballot is held prior to voting to fill
a vacancy. can the c9mrade receiving the proper
number of votes on such informal ballot claim the
position? ...... ..-....-
think he The question of the propriety of
such claim is another question, but he his
friends might hold that the Rules and Regulations
did not recognize provide for informal ballot
and that the ballot 50 held was that duly provided
for in the Rules and the result is binding the
Post.
Possibly one such decision would put stop to
by-piay of this kind
INSTALLATION.
Can Post provide by Bylaws that an officer
elect before being installed must memorze his part
OF the Ritual?
think not, for the reason this would be adding
qualification not provided by the Rules and while
Posts may adopt Bylaws not inconsistent with
the Rules, this might be fairly held to be incon-
sistent with the provision that any comrade in
good standing is eligible to any Office in the GAR
The idea. however. is an excellent one, and if
enforced under general laws would be of decided
benefit. Even without such a requirement the
Post Commander who is to preside over Post for
n year has ample time between election and in
stallaton to memorize his work, and then, with
little practice, even the most inexperienced will fill
the position more creditaby than in depending al
together on the printed books. 1t would be good
rule to refuse to elect anyone who would not agree
do this.

SERVICE PENSIONS.

We receive many letters inquiring why
we do not advocate service pensions. We
have one very sufficient reason, and that is
that it is wholly out of the question to Sc
cure service pensions at this time, and it is
distraction of the energies of our comrades
from the advocacy of plans which have
chance of success, to even consider any
measure looking to the general pensioning
of all who served in the Union army We
can, if we will unite upon it, secure the
passage of law which viii give pensions to
all Union soldiers who are dependent on
their own exertions, and who are now dis
abled from performing labor, and we should
do everything to bring about this end and
that of raising the pensions of widows and
orphans and Of securing the repeal of the
limit of arrears bill. II we all go to work
with one accord to promote this, we shall,
without doubt, be successful, and after that
we can think of further measures. But to
agitate service pensions now is to run the
greatest possible risk Of defeating all leg;s-
lation this Winter for the benefit Of the

PENSION FOR MRS. GRANT.

Congress has done just and graceful act
in opening its work by giving Mrs. Grant a
pension of $1,000 year. 1t is the first bill
passed by the 49th Congress, and the first
one presented by that body to President
Cleveland for his signature.
Mrs Grant is doubly entitled to this al
lowance-as widow of President and as the
widow of the General of the United States
Army. 1t has been customary to allow
widows of Presidents this sum, which is
merely decent recognition by the Nation of
what is due the exalted position once occu-
pied by their husbands.
Having made so good beginning, we
hope that Congress will push on in the same
direction by at once raising the pension to
soldiers widows from So to $12 a month. 1t
is eminently proper that Mrs. Grant should
be provided with every luxury that will
make comfortable her declining years, but
the honor of the Nation is no less involved
in providing a decent support for the widow
and orphans Of every man who gave his life
or his health to the saving of the country.

FINE PICTURES
GRANT, SHERMAN, AND SHERIDAN,
For Subscribers TO The National
Tribune.

We have received so many inquiries from
our readers as to where they could obtain
good portraits of the old commanders for
their parlors or Post rooms, that we have
decided to publish some fine portraits that
would be aftistically equal to the finest
pictures made by any one, and yet sell at
price which would place them within the
reach Of all. We have published three so
far-Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan. They.
are all magnificent hkenesses, and have re-
ceiyed the most emphatic Endorsement Of the
families and intimate friends. Weguarantee
them to give entire satisfaction TO every ad-
mirer of those distinguished soldiers. They
are full size-19x2i inches-and printed on
fine plate paper. Very much inferior pic
lures have usually sold at 81. and it is very
rare indeed that anything approaching them
in goodness has been offered to the people as
low as 70 cents. But we will furnish them
to subscribers to The NATIONAL TRIBUNE
at the following very low figures:
ANY one OF the portraits % cents.
The three TO one address 90
ANY one of the portraits and THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE for one year S1.15
All three of the pictures and THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE for one year S140
We pay postage and all expenses on the
pictures at this Office, so their net cost to the
subscriber viii be the figures given above.
The pictures will be sent inclOsed in a
heavy paSte-boaTd tube. so that they will
reach the subscriber in the best condition.
