THE RECENT BOUNTY DECISION.
The following is the full text of the recent
bounty decision, which we promised last
u s TRCAsIrRy DEPARTMENT

SECOND CONTROLLERS OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, ID, c., Dec. "a 1885.
In the matter of the claim of Il For bounty
under the Act of April D. 1872.
The fifth section of the Act of July % 1861 reads
in part rs follows:
Every non commissioned officer, private, mu-
scian and artiicer, who enters the service of the
United States under this Act, shall be paid +
when honorably discharged = if he shall
have served during period of two years or during
the war, if sooner ended, the sum of $780,
Under this provision it is uniformly held that a
discharge for promotion isa discharge for bounty
purposes and that soldier who was discharged
for promotion after serving two years enlisted
man was entitled to receive said of 500 Tor so
much thereof as remained unpadl at the time when
he was thus discharged. q 81 )
General Orders, No. Is, A. G. o., series of 1861
reads in part as follows:
Every volunteer, non-conmissoned officer
private musician and artifcer who enters the serv-
ice of The United States under this plan shall be paid
when honoraby discharged - the
sum of 500"
Under this provision it has been heretofore held
that a soldier discharged for promotion is not en-
titled to the bounty therein provided for.
Obviously, the word " discharged" has the same
meaning and should receive the same interpreta-
ton in both of these provisions.
Upon full examination of the matter am satis-
fled that the practice under the Act should be ad-
litreu 10 ana TIE practice under the order aban
doned.
hold, therefore, that a soldier who was dis
charged for promotion was honorably discharged
within the meaning of said G.. o. No. Is. And rule
2 of the Rules and Regulations adopted by the ac-
counting officers under the Act of April 90, 1872
page lO3, Rapp's Digest,l is hereby rescnded
In the present the soldier was enrolled April
90 1851, to serve three years, was mustered into
service June II, 1861, to three years dis
charged for promotion Oct. IA, 1861, and has re-
ceived no bounty.
The case clearly fulfills all the requirements of
the Act of April y, 1872, and the claimant s in my
judgment. entitled to 500 bounty Hereunder
The claim will be adjusted accordingly
RICHARD A. MCMAHON, Acting Controller.
The foregoing decision applies only to
such cases as come within the provisions of
the Act of April 90, 1872
In each case the enlistment must have
been prior to July %, 1861, and the muster
into the o. S. service before Aug. 6, 1861, for
three years.
Enlistments ON or after July 90, 1861,
were under the Act of Congress of that date
and subsequent Acts, which provided serv-
ice of two years as an enlisted man to enti-
tie to bounty, if discharged for promotion.
The Act of April %, 1872, will be found in
our correspondents column of this issue as
reply to an inquirer.

AN INTERNATIONAL OUTRAGE.

The people viii hold Congress derelict, and
grossly careless of vital commercial and in
dustrial interests, if it does not at once adopt
legislation retaliating sharply for the exclu-
ducts from certain European markets. The
greater part OF the hard times from which
due to this cause. An annual trade of be-
tween S50,000,000 and S100,000,00O was lost
Austrian, Italian and other Governments in
closing their ports to the products of Ameri
can farmers, No people in the world could
suffer a sudden loss of so great portion of
their export trade without having their
whole commercial machinery deranged and
thousands of prosperous men thrown into
bankruptcy. The great surplus Of agricul-
tural products in this country and the low
prices which have prevailed for everything a
farmer has to sell are the direct results of
the arbitrary and unjust action of the Eu-
ropean Governments named.
We would have no right to complain had
these countries enacted q tariff law or inn
posed high duties on all imports of the kind
without reference to countries. This is
right that we claim for ourselves, and we
cannot complain if others exercise it as we
do But where we have the right to COM
plain is that during the continuance of trea-
ties which we have made with those coun-
tries, giving them all the privileges of our
markets, and for which they stipulated in
return to give US call the rights and privi-
leges granted the most favored Nation they
without any excuse, peremptorily shut out
the most important of the articles which we
had to sell to them. They did not even
take the trouble to get up a decent excuse
for this fragrant violation of treaty rights
and international comfy. The Germans
did, indeed, pretend that the American pork
was infested with trichina, but at this
shallow pretense all Europe laughed, for
it is notorious that the German pork
is the worst infested with trichin9
of anything in the market and in the
eases that the German Government cited
in support of It's position, it was conclus-
lively proved by Minister Sargent that the
victims had only eaten home-raised meat
In consequence Of Minister Sargent's success
in this, he became unpopular in the German
Court and his position was made so unpIeas-
ant for him that he had to ask to be re-
called. The attitude Of Germany in the
matter has been particularly insulting, for
she has openly announced that it was only
American pork that was excluded, and that
Austrian and Russian pork should be per-
mitted to enter as freely as German meats.
Very few nations able TO fight have endured
such treatment as this without recourse to
war. The wars of Europe have, as a rule
sprung from commercial reasons of much
less Importance than this, and we would be
Justified by all precedents in resenting the
treatment to which we have been subjected
by force of arms. 1t is especially CALLING
in this day when the leading nations
of Europe are making such an effort
to extend their markets, and are waging
wars in all parts OF the world to open new
fields of trade to take away the surplus of
their products.
1t is not necessary for US to resort " wax

ENCOURAGING TH1EvERY.


Here is striking example of the dis
honesty, meanness and shamefaeednesss of
the system that permits foreigners to rob
our authors of the results of their brain
labor, and encourages our people TO thiev-
cry and literary piracy. The Popular Sci
enee Monthly tells the story, and from its
recital we abbreviate the tale of moral (?)
education. Professor James Sully, of Lon
don, after years of labor produced and
published his celebrated work, Outlines
of Psychology" 1t cost him brain force,
mental labor, much money, physical ex-
haustion and years of time. He was enti-
tied by every principle of decency, right
and manliness to all the proceeds and re-
wards Of his genius and exertion and vital
energy. His American publishers, so be-
lieving, paid him an agreed royalty, though
there was no law to compel them to do so.
His publishers are honest men, if this ac-
ton is any indication of moral upright
ness. In this valuable work, to which the
intellectual world at once did obeisance,
were chapters and parts and paragraphs on
practical and theoretical education which
Immediately won the plaudits of American
educators. 1t was at once demanded that
these chapters and parts be published sep
arately in cheaper form, TO enable all
teachers and others to secure the valuable
matter. Mr.. Sully's American publishers
shut their doors in the face of many people
who wanted the sol" of preparing the
lesser book. They wrote to Mr.. Sully and
asked him to do the work, and he agreed
to make the compend and they agreed to
pay him for it. Thereupon the American
publishers advertised the forthcoming book
widely, and Mr.. Sully began his labors.
He planned to make the new book COM
plete, to connect the scattered parts
on the topics named, to add
new notes, and in fact present the desired
matter as only competent man, and he, of
all others, could In the midst of the labor

A WRITER in the Forum has a vigorous
and thoughtful paper upon the decadence
OF American domestic service. He deplores
the fact that the American girl is disap-
pearing from the sphere of service in
families. 1t is unquestionably calamity,
and, as he says, both to themselves and to
the public. 1t is based on an absurd pre-
judice. The serving-girl in peaceful,
well-ordered family, is more independent,
better fed and cared for, better paid and
better in every way, than the toiling
needle-woman The mental" service is
on the side of the sewing woman and the
shop girl. The vocation of the housewife
is higher, better and more influential and
desirable than that of the peddler of laces
and ribbons, or the manipulation of thread
and needle. Domestic service has been
handed over in the East to immigrant girls
from Europe; in California it has been
mortgaged or sold to the Chinese. We find
Chinese men here doing service in house
holds, which if undertaken by white
male, would scandalize the community 1t
is scarcely probable that the American
girl will return to service, and fill the hon.
orable and lucrative sphere she did TWEEN
ty-6ve years ago in the homes of the land
so much the worse for her.
