THE SOLDIERS HOME.
Points from the Annual Report-Abuses that |
Need Correction.

HOlnts nom the Annual KepOrt-AbuSeS that
Need Correction.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The annual report of
the president of the board of commissioners of
thoSoldiers' Home covers the period from Oct. l.
1884. to Sept 3d. 1885. The disbursements dur
ing the year were $243, 46S. including 1928 ex-
pended for the new annex building and for other
permanent improvements. One hundred and
ninety-two discharged soldiers received their
original admission to the Home during the year
for which this report is made, which is one less
than the number admitted the preceding year
Sixty-two of these had served twenty or more
years as enlisted men, and the remaining 100
were entitled to admission by disabilities in
Cured in the service The number of men who
in any given period seek the benefits of the
Home directly after leaving the service is very
small percentage of those discharged from
the army in the same period under
circumstances which appear d7give them a right
to those benefits. In the year ended June 80
there we're 1873 soldiers discharged from the
army for disability, and yet only "a of them en-
tered the Home in the same year. 'This," says
the report, lis somewhat significant, in view of
the fact that a large number of these disabled
men must, after a few years at most, seek an
asylum somewhere, and the Soldiers Home will
undoubtedly have to receive and maintain a
greater number of those who become unable to
make living for themselves"
There has been," says the report "a very
great increase in drunkenness among the inmates
during the year, the cause for which is laid at
the door of the existing law for the disposition
of the pension money of inmates. About one
tenth of the pensioners assign their pensions to
relatives; the other ne-tenths, on whose &C
count more than $40, 600 is paid quarterly to the
treasurer Of the Home are permitted to draw
small sums from time to time, while the larger
portion remains undrawn so long as they remain
inmates of the Home. This fund becomes good
basis for credit at grogshops and is a constant
temptation to those who are easily Influenced
and in many instances no doubt, the possession
of the money, which must be given up
to the pensioner when he is discharged,
becomes the sole object in leaving the Home.
In few days the money is squandered aud the
commissioners are asked to admit destitute old
soldier to the benefits of the Home There are
actual cases of this description in the aims house
in this city. Such is the effect Of law which
was framed and passed under circumstances
which created morbid sentiment in behalf of
the pensioned soldier. 1t is conceived to be i'm
possible to represent the facts to Congress in
such light as will procure remedial legislation,
and the commissioners are compelled in defense
of the interests of the Home. to fix q limit to the
number of admissions for such causes and to
permit the pensioner to enjoy his liberty with
out interval"
The report is signed by General Sheridan,
president of the board.

butter men denounced this action vehemently
and did all they could to have the order re-

mission Of the board had been secured, the but
terine men commenced to prepare for their ex-
hibits and before night had so far completed
arrangements as to make their exhibits to out
shine. by considerable. those of the dairymen.
At this afternoons session of the National
Butter, Cheese and Egg Association, the
matter was discussed with great deal of
feeling, the outcome of which was the adoption
of a resolution presented by James Seymour, of
New York, requesting the State Board of Agri-
culture to furnish the Dairymens Association,
within thirty days. ali the information upon
which it based it's resolution allowing butterine
manufacturers to enter their exhibits ct the fat
stock show. This information will be submitted
to the executive committee of the dairymen's
convention, which, it is expected, will adopt
some measure that will clearly define the future
course of the butter men in their relations TO the
manufacturers of butterine and oleomargarne.
