TO the Editor Of the Indianapolis Jon rnal:
Your editorial this morning on the extract
from the address of the commander-elect OF
George Thomas Post, last Tuesday night, meets
with my unqualified approval I am not yet
ready to apologize to anybody for my conduct
as Union soldier during the war, and at the
same time have not, and never had any per-
sonal enmity against the rank and file that
made up the rebel army, as all know what
influences forced them into their armies. But
have bitter feeling for the traitorous scoun-
drels that precipitated the rebellion. and my
feelings are not Modified when / read in the
daily dispatches from the seat of the govern
ment that these same traitors are being placed
il positions of high honor, to the exclusion of
country. Yes. even placed by this Union
soldier" loving administration on the pension
committee, to cay what the measure of graft
tiude from this government shall be to the men
that they deliberately tried starve to death
at Andersonville ard Libby. Why did you
not print the address of the retiring COM
manderl 1t was the best of its kind that have
listened to in years, and expressed the situation
fully,s and in few words. Let us have it.

of stock Jan. q and it has nearly all been subscribed
for.
The Commercial association has become very pros

The "New Year Saving and Loan Association" is

West Washington steeet The stock is being rap
idly disposed of. The association will be the
termn alton plan.
The Center association. of which DR.. Haggart is
president, is doing very big business just In
order to induce desiring to build to take stock
premiums have been greatly reduced. The plan is
found to be good one.
The decision of Pennsylvania court, declaring
fine of 10 per cent. upon delinquent payment of
building association dues to be unjust and illegal
threatens result in having the legality of such
practice tested in other StaIes.
The indications that the demand for association
money in spring will be very large. Some associa-
tions have already practically Saned all the money they
will get in during the summer, and bargaining
with other associations for money with which sup
