be submitted to the proper authorities.
r. L. S., Edgerton, wis.,. Is n Post under obli-
cations to assist an ex-soder who has refused to
join the c. Ar and who has become impoverished
by drinking?
g the Post under obligation to assist the orphan
children of one who had, when alive, declined to
join the GAR?
Article MI, Chapter V, Il. and r., prescribes that
a relief fund for the assistance of needy soldiers
sailors and marines, and widows and orphans of
deceased soldiers sailors and marines, shall be es-
tablished by the several Posts.
The method of disbursing this fund must be gov
erned by the circumstances of each case and of
which the Post or its Relief Committee must be the
Judge. There may be cases where assistance to
even members may be money thrown away, or
worse tend still more to the downward course of
the comrade. Again, there eX-soldiers and
sailors who should not be allowed to become MEM
bers of the G. r., and yet they have claims upon
us for assistance.
An iron-c,ad rule that no assistance should be
given to those not members would not only be in
violation of the principles of the GAR, but would
speedily work great harm to the Post, and it would
soon lose its influence in the community. A Post
could not long be held together for purely selfish
objects Whilst the of own members
should be q main consideration we are pledged
"to assist such former comrades-in-arms need
help and protection, and TO extend needful aid to
the widows and orphans of those who have fallen"

him by dipping his cup into tan-vat; when
he said that the meat was not good soap grease,

when he tuned up his loud bazoo on the rations

didn't calculate that We were going to be poi
soned in camp by lot Of dirty, lazy pot

One morning after roll-call the Orderly-Ser-

81 KLEGG AS COOK.
He Learns Something About Boiling
Rice.

It would have been very strange, indeed, if
81 KIegg, of the 200th Ind, had not grumbled
loudly and frequently about the food that was
dished up TO him by the company cooks. In
the first place, it was as natural for boy to
grumble at the "grub" as it was for him to try
to shirk battalion drill or run the guard" In
the next place, the cooking done by the COM
pany bean-boilers deserved all the abuse it re-
ceived, for as a rule the boys who sought places
in the hash foundry did so because they were
too lazy to drill or do guard duty, and their
knowledge of cooking was about like that OF
the Irshmans of music:
"Can you play the fiddle, Pat ?" he was asked
"Oi don't know sor-r-r-Oi niyer tried"
Sis mother, like most of the well-to-do
farmers wives in Indiana was undoubtedly q
good cook, and she trained up her daughters to
do honor to her teachings, SO that 81 undoubt-
eddy knew what properly prepared food was
From the time he was big enough to spank he
had Jared sumptuOusly every day. In the gush
of patriotic emotions that prompted him to en-
list he scarcely thought of this feature of the
case. If it entered his mind at ALL he felt that
he could safely trust all to the goodness of so
benefcent Government as that for the pre5er-
walton of which he had offered himself as q
target for the rebels to shoot at. He thought it
no more than fair to the brave soldiers that
Uncle Sam should furnish professional cooks
for each company, who would serve everything
up in the style of a first-class city restaurant.
So after ST got down among the boys and found
how it really was, it not long till his inside
was a volcano of rebellion that threatened
serious results.
When, therefore, 81 lifted up his voice and
cried aloud, and spared nOt-when he said that

He went back to the barracks and inspected
the company larder. He found there the saEIo
old coarse, greasy. strong, fat pork, bushel or
so of beans, few withered potatoes, sugar,
coffee, bread and box of rice, which had been
collected from the daily ratiOns because mons
of the cooks knew how to manage il. The
sight of the South Carolina staple recalled the
delightful rice buildings his mother used to
make. His heart grew buoyant.

iting the contribution for Williams the last
name on the roll; but guess she'll stand it.
I've heard mother tell the girls that they must
always keep the rice covered with water and
stir it well, so that it wouldn't burn, so here
goes. Won't the boys be aStonished when they
have nice mess of rice, as a change from that
rusty old side-meat?"
He hung the kettle on the fire and stepped
out to the edge of the parade ground to watch
the boys drilling. 1t was the first time he had
had the sensation of pleasure of seeing Thorn

THE ANTE-BELLuM CONSPIRACY.

The true story of the great scheme which,
under President johnson, was to seize pos
session of the Government and restore the
Southern rebels to the power they had
lost, but which was frustrated by the
firmness and patriotism of Gems. Grant and
Sherman, will be told in full in next weeks

man who had better facilities for obtaining
inside information at that time than almost
any other one now living. Next weeks

will be very valuable paper, indeed, for
this reason, and still more ON account of the
historical Importance of the chapter, which
relates to the aforesaid conspiracy that
threatened to renew all the horrors of the
rebellion.

CIVIL SERVICE TECHNICALIsAI

The Civil Service Commission threatens to
lapse into the narrow technicalism in its
treatment of ex-soldiers which has been so
bitterly complained Of in the practice of
other branches of the public service. For
example, Comrade S. c. Holmes was Ser
geant in Co. Fl, It'll Ind, and a good and
faithful soldier from the very first, and his
regiment was the second raised by the State
Indiana commenced numbering her regi-
ments with the 9th. He was badly wounded
in the assault on Petersburg in June 1864,
and while in hospital his term of service ex-
pired, and his discharge was made to read
"by reason of expiration Of term Of serv-
ice," though the severity of his wound would
have caused his discharge. He recently ap-
peared before the Civil Service Commission,
and asked to be given the benefit Of the pref
erence established by law for such cases.
The Commission directed the following let
ter be written him:
DEAR SIR: The Commissioner Is In receipt of Il
letter from Asst Adj't-Gen. o. d. Greene, of the
Sd of this month, which shows that you were
mustered out and honorably discharged with the
company, Sept. 90 1854. The additional fact shows
that you were severely wounded before Peters
burg Va. June Is. 1884, while an additional hon
orable distinction, does not class you with those
who were " discharged for other disabilities in
CURED in the line of duty" You are not therefore
entitled to a statutory preference in appointment.
And am very respectfully,
X. ID. GRAHAM, Secretary.
SAML. c. HOLMES Esq,
sis 18th St., N. W., Washington. d. c.
This is unworthy quibbling with the let
| ter of the law to defeat its spirit. The law
was made for the benefit of just such men as
Comrade Holmes, and it is injustice to deny
him his privileges under it.
| 1t is worth while mentioning that the Sec
rotary who wrote this letter was in the
lines opposite Comrade Holmes, and was
himself wounded by a Union bullet shortly
after Holmes was struck by rebel one.

EXECUTION OF REL.

Louis David Riel, the leader of the late
instruction in the Northwestern Territory,
was hanged at Regina on Monday, soon
after o'clock. Since his conviction and
sentence to death extraordinary efforts have
been made to secure pardon or commuta-
ton of sentence, but without avail. A brief
respite was granted, but beyond this the
authorities refused to interfere with the
course Of the law. 'Riel claimed to the last
that he only took up arms in defense of the
rights which lad been guaranteed to his
people, and in resistance to the wrongs which
oppression had sought to force upon them.
During the two or three days Immediately
preceding his execution, when all hope of
clemency had been abandoned, feeling ran
very high among his adherents-the half
breeds, for whose cause he was to die upon
the scaffold. Various plans for his rescue
were laid, and only the utmost vigilance
and firmness on the part of the military
and civil authorities of the Government pre-
vented violent outbreaks. Riel expressed
himself as fully resigned to his fate, and
willing to die for his people.
We cannot but think that the refusal to
extend mercy to the condemned man was a
mistaken policy on the part Of the Melon
aid Administration. Laying aside the ques-
ton of his guilt, as judged by the inexora-
BILE standard of the law, it is unquestionably
true that Riel was the representative of a
large class of people who have suffered fla
grant wrongs They have been the victims
of a system of land grabbing, if possible
even more unjust than that by which so
States and Territories have been robbed of
their legally-acquired lands. 1t is not for
us to decide whether or not the circum-
stances justified armed conflict with the au-
thorities, resulting in the loss Of many lives,
but we believe that, in view of all the
facts, it would have been the part of wisdom
to stay the hand of official vengeance. The
wrongs of Riels people are still unredressed.
AS " the blood of the martyrs is the seed of
the church." so may the blood of Riel
bring forth a harvest of opposition to
tyranny. The hanging of " Old John Brown"
was in accordance with law, but though his
body lay "a-moldering in the grave" his
soul went marching on" Two million bay
onets swept from the face of the earth the
giant wrong, in feeble assault upon which
John Brown lost his life. So it may be in
the case of Riel.
