HOW To SILENCE THEM.

It is very easy to shut up one of these fell
lows who are brawling about the enormous
pensions paid soldiers.
Simply ask him to point out among those
In his neighborhood who are receiving
pensions some one who is getting too
much. That is all. Bring the matter right
down to demonstration at home. Ask him
whether he would take this comrades am
putated leg or arm for 10 times the pen
sion that a grateful Government" gives?
Whether he would have that ones deafness,
a thirds blinded eyes, a fourth's paralyzed
body, fifUh's rheumatism tortured limbs,
sixth's rotting lungs, for seventy -and-seEen
times the few cents day that are doled out
to them? Where one man in the neighbor-
hood is receiving pension, 10 can be point
ed out who are justly entitled to it, but are
kept out of it by the rigorous requirements
of the pension laws, which make it easier to
convict man Of murder than to furnish the
proof which viii entitle him to the seven
and one-half cents day which the majority
of the pensioners get.
Do not let him crawl out by alleging that
somewhere else great wrongs and frauds are
perpetrated. 1t is not true for an instant.
The condition of things in one community
is the condition everywhere. There are the
same kind of veterans everywhere; they all
went through the same kind of hardships
and dangers in the field; they all suffered
alike, and they are all now oppressed and
kept out of their own by the same unjustly
rigorous laws. This forms an unanswerable
/ argument.

THE TIME EXTENDED.
ANOTHER CHANCE 70 GET THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE CHEAPLY.
Three Months for IS Cents.

There has been such an expression Of de-
sire TO that effect, that we have decided to
extend the time of receiving trial sub
scriptions to The NATIONAL TRIBUNE for
80 days longer.
Therefore, 1oe ,oiU send the paper FOR
THREE MONTHS FOR % CENTS TO all
acho send Ia their names before the 31st Of July
neat.
This will enable every one who desires it
to have THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE during
the remainder of the present session OF Con-
gress, and so have the benefit of its unusu-
ally full reports Of all proceedings relating
to pension legislation, and other matters of
deep interest to veterans and those connect
ed with them.
It viii also give all an opportunity to
make trial of the paper and learn what 1t
really is, and compare it with other papers.
We invite such a comparison. We are really
anxious to have it, for we are sure that It
will convince any man who makes it how
much more desirable paper than its COM
petitors THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE really IS.
During these three months the paper VIII
be kept at the highest standard of interest.
In addition to fuller reports of all Congress
sional proceedings, and other matters relat-
ing to pensions and veterans, than any other
paper will have, 1t will have an immense
variety of original, valuable and instructive
matter, such as can be found IN no other
paper.
We ask all our readers to take advantage
of this opportunity to place the paper in the
hands of every veteran acquaintance oftheirs
who is interested in it, but does not take it.
They are all willing to pay % cents for so
good paper for three months, and If the
matter is brought to their attention, will be
ready at once with their money and their
names We hope that every man and wom-
an now on our list, win at once send US IN
club of names of their acquaintance. Let
us have 100000 additional subscribers before
July 81, and it will have the best possible
effect in promoting pension Legislation by
Congress, for then we viii speak In the name
of a quarter of a million veterans, and our
words will be a vastly stronger power than
ever in demanding soldiers rights.
Let epery Subscriber send IN at least one
name.

THE cotton-growers of the South have
reason to dread the same competition which
has proved so hurtful to the grain growers
of the North. Russia has entered the worlds
market as a cottOn-producer, and she viii
bring all the enormous resources of the
Government to bear to make the effort
success. One of the objects of constructing
the great Trans-Caspian Railway was to
bring the great cotton-raising region of
Turkestan close to market. Centuries ago
large part of the cotton used by the world
came from that country. The Russian
papers rejoice over the fact that last year
the cotton shipped from there amounted to
100000 pounds, or more than double that
of any previous year. If all Russias hopes
are realized she can raise enough cotton
there to supply the world at less than it
now costs to raise cotton in America. The
extent of the country suitable to the culture
| is practically linitless, and the number OF
cheap laborers equally SO. Russian agents
are now in this country studying our SYSTEM
of decentralization. The country has
heretofore been shut away from civilization
on account of its domination by savage
nomads, but Russia has subjugated these
and the country is now as safe as our West.

INITIATING THE GAR. BADGE.

The comrades in Pennsylvania are, like
those in West Virginia, very much wrought
up by the imitation of the GAR. emblem
for political badges The Pennsylvania
comrades are going about the matter in the
right way, by invoking the aid of the law.
This viii give them all the weapons they
need, for the GAR. badge is patented under
the United States law, and its wearing by
unauthorized persons is criminal offense in
most of the Northern States.
The Democrats are not the only offenders,
for there has been Republican badge put
on sale which has the portrait of Gen. Har-
rison in the center of the star instead of
that of Grover Cleveland.
Probably neither political organization
can be properly charged with the deed. 1t
is likely the work of some smart badge
maker, who thought to make profitable
hit by his imitation of an honored emblem.
No party, however, can afford to avail itself
Of the imposition, and none will when it
finds out how the comrades feel about it,
The imitation badge consists of the eagle
pin, and the star of the badge stamped out
in thin brass, and united by red, white and
blue ribbon. The design in the center Of
the star is replaced by photograph of either
Harrison or Cleveland
Let the comrades everywhere take imme.
date action to stop the sale and wearing o.

WE are strongly in favor of restricting
pauper immigration, whether it be Chinese,
Italian, Polish, Bohemian, or what not. This
country, with all its resources, wealth, and
possibilities of wealth, belongs to our people
native and naturalized- who fought for
it, and who have built it up to its present
prosperity. We are not called upon to share
it with any other people in the world, and
we should not.

Commander-in-C Chief Rea's order-which
we publish in the GAR. Departments
appropriate and timely. 1t reminds the
comrades that they must exercise unusual
care during the exciting political campaign
which has now opened, to prevent any en-
tanglement of the Order in politics. The
admonitions Of the COMMANDMENTS Chief
should sink deep into the hearts of all. The
GAR is thoroughly nOn-partisan, and
there must be the most jealous care exer-
cised to keep it from even an appearance Of
being otherwise. It has no more to do with
political demonstrations than with religious
celebrations. Every comrade in it is entitled
to think precisely as he pleases on all poll
tical questions, just as he is on religious
matters, and his views must be as carefully
respected in one as the other.
In the great majority of the Posts this
admonition is not needed, for the lesson OF
non-partisanship has been sedulOusly in
culcated. In few there may be danger OF
zeal overlapping the bonds of discretion
with the result of lasting injury to the Post
if not the entire Order. We trust that all who
may feel tempted in this direction viii peruse
the Commander-in-C Chiefs order, and reflect
that a political campaign is butts temporary
thing, while the Order survives and goes
forward 10 continually increasing usefulness
without reference to results Of elections.

of the whole number-receiye s. a month

That is, more than half the total number

The average is less than S. month, or 1e3
cents day. Surely there is nothing lavish
In this allowance TO men who have sacrificed
their health and strength on the altar of

up of men who have lost legs, arms, eyes, OF

the sixteenth Corps, commanded by Col, Mersy,
recapturing all the guns Of Battery and two Of
Battery A.
The report of Col R. R. TONNES, Assistant
Adjutant-General and Chief of staff, Fif-
tenth Corps, says:
Gen. Woods, commanding First Division, caused
the guns Of Is battery Ia his front to open upon the
animals of the captured battery Of De Gress and
the troops of the enemy surrounding il to prevent
it being withdrawn from the position, when II
captured. and Immediately afterward, by direction
of BIai. Gen. Logan. Gen. Smith being at the time
on another part Of the line, organized body Of his
troops from his reserves not in position, and led
them forward to the recapture OF the battery and
that part OF our line situated his own in pos
session of the enemy. The movement Of the troops
under Gen. Woods In this action was pronounced
splendid by Gen. Logan, who witnessedit. II was
made suddenly and with the greatest vigoT. and
struck the enemy's left Immediately in flank. Gen.
Woods directed it in position the battery and line
were retaken, and the enemy compelled to retire
preepitously.
This seems to be conclusive as to Gen.
Logan's share in this noted achievement.

992,642 dozen eggs, valued at So IT,, 33336
Last years imports were trifle less, and
this years are probably little more. There
is no duty on eggs.
Can anyone give good reason why
this 81. 100000 should not have been put into
the pockets Of our farmers instead of being
paid out to those in Germany, France and
