He has therefore decided that when an ap-
peal is taken from his decisions in the grant
ing or rating pension refusing it, nothing
further shall be done in the case in the Office
until the case has been passed by the Secretary
of the Interior, and formally returned with
the Secretary's decision.
A Foman Cannot Peceire Teo Pensions.
A father and son were each enlisted in the
army. This son died leaving mother claim
ing to be a dependent.
The father survives his son and became
claimant for pension. Pending the claim of
the dependent mother and surviving invalid
father, the father died. His widow, the de-
pendent mother, filed a petition under the
statute asking to be allowed to prosecute
claim for the pension due her late husband.
The Commissioner holds that she might have
an election as to which one of the two claims
she would perfect, but that she could not be
allowed to claim the pension of her son and
husband both. neither of them having been
granted at the time of the ruling.

THE MEXICAN PENSION BILL.

To THE EDIToH: I, with thousands of other vet
Grams, am pleased with your assertion that in the
matter of the Mexican Pension Bill with amend
ments You have enlisted for the war" would
suggest i'll this connection that publish Synop-
sis of the bill it now stands amended. am
aware that you did this few months ago; but even
in this village THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is read by
borrowers inoluded) more than 100 people who, at
the time that statement was published, had never
seen the paper. In proof that the provisions OF the
bill as amended are not generally understood AS
they should be- cite the fact that at the Depart
ment Encampment, composed of the representative
men of the Grand Army throughout this State, it
was objected to, and some of the amendments had
to be read from the platform before unanimous
vote could be obtained requesting Congress to pass
the BILL A. COOK, Clayton, Jefferson Co, n \.
The first seven sections of the bill provide
that any soldier who served regularly in the
Mexican War for IA days, who is now 62
years old or disabled, and who is receiving
no pension, or less than s. month, shall be
given that sum. Corresponding provision is
made for the widow of such soldier. But
he cannot receive the pension if his disability
is the result of his service in aid Of the re-
bellion; nor can Jefferson Davis receive the
pension.
Section provides that any soldier or
sailor who served three months during the
rebellion, was honorably discharged, is now
disabled from some cause not due to his own
gross misconduct, and who is dependent
upon his own labor for support, shall receive
a pension of $24 month where totally dis
abled for manual labor, and proportionately
smaller amount where the disability is less
than total 1t will be observed that the OBJ
noxious phrase, "and such election shall be
final" is omitted from the clause permitting
the applicant to choose at any time under
which law he will make his claim.
Section 0 provides that the pensions of
widows shall be raised from IS to $12 q
month.
Section 10 provides that upon the death of
any pensioner mis- widow and children under
16 shall be entitled to an original pension in
their own right without the necessity of
proving that the husband and father died

THE sIKHS AND SEPOYS.

The news from Egypt is that the SepOys
in the English army have behaved rather
badly in the face OF the enemy, while the
Sikhs acted in very creditable manner.
This is matter of much more Importance
than would seem from the casual mention.
The Sepoys are made up OF the better class
of the inhabitants Of Hindostan. AT one
time they We're almost wholly high-caste
Hindoos, but they have now quite an admix-
ture of Musselmans also. IL appearance they
are ideal solders-slender, well made, wiry,
and capable of enduring an enormous amount
of fatigue. They make as imposing body
of men as ever were seen under arms. They
were first employed as soldiers by the East
India Company, who disciplined, uniformed
and armed them according to European
methods, and made effective use Of them in
fighting and conquering their compatriots
of the great Hindostan Peninsula. Up to
Captain they have their own officers, but
the superior officers of the regiment are
always English. AT the breaking out of the
great Sepoy rebellion OF 1857 the East India
Company had over 100000 of them in its
service. 1t will be remembered that the
precipitating cause of that rebellion was the
introduction of the Enfield cartridge. The
tc+n {hof
tallow from cows, an animal which the Hin
docs regard as sacred. The Mahometan.
among the Sepoys understood that the
grease was the fat of hogs, to touch which
a Mahometan regards as pollution. Afte
the rebellion had been conquered the Eas
India Company was dissolved, and the Eng
lish Government took actual control of th
country. The Sepoys were reorganized, ant
there are now about 126,6OO in service
Except the rebellion Of 1857, they hav
usually been very faithful to their masters
and have done some splendid service.
The Sikhs On the other hand, are hard,
people of the hill provinces, who belong +
the agricultural CASTE and whose religion j
a mixture of Mah0metanism and Brahman
ism. They were developed into Z grea
warlike people by the renowned Runjee
Singh, and fought the British very stut
bornly for several years. After their subju
CATION they became one of the most loya
peoples in the British Empire.
What is of most importance in this matte
is the test of the real value of the Scpoys az

shown that the pension agents were quite inter
ested in the procurement of the s25 bill, clamor
has at once been raised against it unjust, and as
taking large sum from the poor pensioners.
While it is true that the existing law was desired
by pension agents. it is equally clear that it was
alike advantageous to the claimant and the Gov
ernment. The old bill. allowing only $40, but in
all cases, whether successful or not, was direct
premium to INSCRIPTIONS attorneys to pick up any
possible case, good or bad, file the preliminary
papers, collect the So and then it was little matter
what became of the application; and so the Pension
Office sure to be flooded with bogus cases, fled
solely for the fee, to the impediment OF the
causes of legitimate applicants. AS only about
two-thirds of the applications are finally al
lowed, the average fee If confined to successful
only, would be less than s., and as those in
volving arrears reach an average amount OF above
$1,000 the utter palriness of such rate Of compen-
sation Is apparent The present law allows s25, if
the claimant contracts and the pension officers
agree to be paid only in successful cases This law
so manifestly just to the agents, advantageous to
claimant and the Government was recommended
by the Secretary of the Interior and has been found
TO work satisfactorily. The camor for its repeal Is
based alone on the supposition that the pension
agents are favored by it, True, but so is the PEN
sioner, who can in majority of cases better afford
to pay s25 out OF the pension when allowed, than
to deposit from his oft time poverty $40 in advance
and it serves to confine the efforts of agents to the
presentation of cases only in which there are good
grounds for believing the claims valid. 1t is sig
nificant that while tie demand is madefor change
in the present laws, solely, far as we have seen
because the pension attorneys favored 1t, the Sec
retary of the Interior and the Commissioner OF
Pensions, the Commander in-Chief and the Chair
man of the National Pension Committee OF the
Grand Army of the Republic, the two latter speak
IL, ct
uously in favor of the existing law rs unquestion-
ably in the interest of pension applicants.

THE BATTLE OF ATLANTA.
Hoods Desperate Attempt to Turn the
Flank Of Sherman's Army.
In OUR ISSUE OF APRIL l6.
BY Maj. Gen. John w. Fuller.

Undoubtedly the hardest fought engage
ment of the long Atlanta Campaign was the
battle before that city on the Odd of July,
1864. Gen. Hood, after stratagem to in
duce Sherman to believe that he was evacu.
ating the city, suddenly lanched his columns
out on his right and fell with overwhelming
force upon our left He was only beaten off
after the most desperate struggle, in which
the losses on both sides were heavy and On
ours included Maj. James B. Mcpherson.
The division which received the brunt of the
assault was commanded by Maj Gen. John
W Fuller, who went from Ohio in command
of the 9th Ohio, and proved himself one of
the best Of the very many good soldiers sent
from that State. The leader of the rebel
attacking column, Gen. Walker, of Missis-
sippi, was killed directly in front Of Gen.
Fuller's position. We have long solicited
Gen Fuller to write us an account of the
engagement, and he has at last done so, and
3 mastery production it is 1t is not OILY
good because it is the account of a man who
took leading part in the engagement, but
it is good from its admirable literary style
1t will appear in cur issue of April 16, and
be illustrated with carefully drawn maps
showing the position of the troops at different
periods of the fight. 1t will be beyond
doubt much the most important article tina
has ever appeared On that great battle.

THE TRIBUNE SEWING MACHINE.

A sewing machine has now become almost
as necessary to the management of house
hold as a cooking stove. The amount Of
money and labor saved yearly by the use of
a machine would indeed be hard to estimate,
and there is now no reason why any house
should be without one, as we can furnish
reach of all. For $l8 we now offer ma
chine which, for finish and Workmanship, is
not excelled by one costing double the price,
and a years subscription to THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE. We also make an offer by which
enterprising persons can procure one Of these
superb machines without any outlay of
money. To the getter-up of a club Of 125
prepaid subscribers we will present one Of
these most useful and Indispensable articles.
This offer on the part of The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE also opens an unexcelled field for
practical charity among comrades and 9TH
ers There is probably no more certain OF
gSuUtSl UluUncT IOI u FONidu 10 earn nv
ing than by sewing, and machine does
away with nine-tenths of the fatigue, besides
turning out vastly larger amount of work
In most communities will be found the
dependent wives, sisters, or other female
relatives of deceased soldiers, and what bet
ter means could be found Of putting them in
an independent position than by presenting
them with sewing machine? If a number
of comrades should really make up their
minds to get up club of 125 subscribers
they would not find it very onerous task.
and if they made the opposition of the ma
chine suggested they would certainly have
done an act Of charity which they would
take pleasure in contemplating for years to

THE GAR. MATCH.

When a reliable and handsome timepiece
can be obtained without any outlay OF
money, and with but small expenditure Of
time, there is certainly no reason why every
man should not carry about with him the
means Of ascertaining the time. The Grand
Army watch, made by the celebrated Water
bury Company, and which cannot be sur
passed for accuracy and neatness by one
costing far more money, we offer to any per-
son sending us club of 10 prepaid subscrib-
ers, which any energetic person can do by a
very little eanvassing. We also offer this
reliable timepiece and a years subscription to
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE for $3.50. and as
that is the price of the watch alone, present
of years subscription is made to every
purchaser. We will send you sample copies
to aid in canvassing for subscribers if you
viii notify us.

THE RED ACORN.

Every soldier Of the Army of the Cumber-
land or of the Ohio, or in fact every man
who served west of the Alleganies, should
have a copy of Mr.. John McElroy's Red
Acorn" spirited story of the war, foil of
love, adventure and fighting, which makes a
most fascinating story. 1t tells the history
OF the campaigns in Kentucky and Tennessee
better than history does, and through the
woof run golden threads of fancy, love and
sentiment. 1t is such book as every one will
prize, and costs, with THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE for one year, but S1.75. Those already
obtain it by sending us an additional 75
cents.

The country was settled in 1923 by the
Spaniards, who established seaports and
highways across the mountains to transfer
the plunder they brought up from Peru. In
1925 the five Colonies broke away from Spain
and formed confederation in imitation of
the United States. The confederation was
broken up in 1889, and continual efforts have
been made ever since to restore it, but these
have been thwarted by the personal ambi-
tions and jealousies of the politicians
At present BarriOs seems to be supported
by his own State-Guatemala-an Hon.
duras, and to be opposed by the other three
States. Supposing these to be solid for the
sides they espouse, this would make about
1,55OO00 people supporting Barrios to $780,
600 opposing him. But Barrios's enemies
have the active support of the Mexican Gov.
ernment, with a moral backing from oul
own.
