General Sherman, with the ,nodesty
which seems to be the chief character
istic OF his family, glibly declares that
Mr.. Cleveland ought to have shout
dered a musket during the war, pre-
sumably to obtain patent right to po-
litical preferment that in his own case
an ungrateful Republican party is so
slow to accord. The General seems to
regard his own career A. an illustrious
example which none could have erred
in following. Still the Sherman fam.
ily was . large one, with at least one
aspiring brother whose vaulting ambi.
ton knows no bounds, and all the
musket shouldering he did was with
his jaw.
The fact is that very few families
did more for the: war for the Union
than the Clevelands. When the war
began, there we're gathered around
that hearthstone three able-bodied
young men, and several children not
yet in their teens. They were poor.
Every dollar earned by the older boys
was spent in support Of the home.
Still they acknowledged the claim of
their country for aid, and two of the
young men. by allotment, enlisted
while the third stayed at home to pro.
vide for the wants Of helpless kindred,
Chance decreed that Grover should
perform this duty, while his brothers
went forth to battle. Later on, when
the country needed more men, the
third brother, chosen by lot to care for
his mother and sisters, was drafted
and from his small earnings sufficient
sum was taken 10 hire substitute to
represent him in the army. Is there
anything that the most exacting can
censure in this /? Was there indeed
any other course by which the full
measure Of fealty to family as we'll -
country could be subservedi Pew
households did ~ much in the great
struggle, and fewer still have received
less credit for patriotic devotion to
duty from Republican politicians.
Contrast this generous and prompt
action nf the Cleveland boys with the
sel6sh, hating disposition OF the head
Of the family with an ancient lineage.

A Patriotic Township.

Manchester Township, Pa, comes to the front,
claiming to have sent more men to the army
during the rebellion, according to population,
than any other Township in the country.
Among the enlistments referred to the TeePles
family sent six; the Kellam family also sent
six; William Jones and his four sons enlisted
Samuel Price sent four sons three Hathaway
brothers became soldiers; the Bailey family
sent four sons; three of the Clifford boys en-
listed; Alpheus Hills two sons went, and they
refused the old gentleman on account of his
age; Daniel Lester had II sons, 10 of whom
enlisted and the other was drafted, while the
old gentleman was refused by the recruiting
officer on account of his age. A pretty good
showing.

PENSION COMMISSIONERS.
Suggestions From Comrades as to the Proper Man
for the Place.

Suggestions From Comrades to the Proper Man
for the Place.
Thomas Groody, Washington, Kan, says:
1.-THE old soldiers of Kansas, almost to man,
would like to see Maj. E. n. Morrill,, the pres
ent Congressman from the First District of
Kansas appointed Commissioner of Pensions
more acceptable to the veterans of this State or
the country at large. Maj. Morrill, has splen-
did record as soldier has unusual business
qualifications, and these with his long service
as member of the Invalid Pension Committee
and his unbounded love for deserving soldiers
and sailors of the late war, makes him the right
man for the place. | find no fault with Com
missioner Black, but if we are going to have a
change Mai. E. N. Morrill, fills the bill"
Charles G. Bennett, Sergeant, Co. ID, 50th n.
Y. Eng writes: "Since it is in order to be
making States for Gen. Harrson's Admiuistra-
tion please allow an old soldier to have his say
as to who shall be Commissioner of Pensions.
l believe without an exception, for many years
at least, it has been the custom to appoint a
high grade commissioned officer to this place.
While they have done well, l would ask that
the matter be reversed and give the rank and
fill the bill, in the person of Corp'l James Tan
ner, of Brooklyn, N. Y. While he was stricken
down early in the war, he has shown himself to
have been capable of any position, had he have
been more fortunate. Comrades, LET us rally
on the rank and file. Who will second the
motion of Corp1 James Tanner for Commits
soner of Pensions? Let US rally on one COM
mon center"

he is a carpet Dagger. Perhaps it is be,
cause Gen. Thompson has a happy facul
