Spokane Falls, Wash. Ter Comrade MeGrane's
regiment was discharged at Denver, whittier it
had been sent after the Grand Review in Wash
ingtOn, for service against the Indians. He

IN the Territory.
1 3D. Pa. Cav. In July, 1865, the Colonel com
handing ordered the regiment, which was
/ then near Richmond, to dig up the stumps and
| clear off large field for parade purposes The
men refused to obey the order, as the war was

The National tribune., 1888-01-19

Mr.. Lamar, before he resigned rs Secretary Of
the Interior, inflicted a regulation upon the
employees of that Department that makes life
odious to the people employed there, by cutting
off the annual allowance for sick leave The
bright and witty widow of a navy officer who
was one Of very historic family of fighters,
told me few days ago that she was thoroughly
disguised with the small potato" methods of
this Administration, and that in the old times
we were not treated like lot of servants" The
Introduction of women into the several Execu-
tive Departments since 1861 has given them a
place that has been recognized in legislation,
| and their work has proved the wisdom of Mr..
Chase and other Secretaries who followed his
example.
| For many years there has been an annual al
lowance for days that clerk might be too i'll to
| be at his or her desk for duty, and while the
custom Of an annual allowance of one month
| leave with pay has become a law, the sick
| leave allowance has been so long the custom as
to have almost the effect of law. Why Mr
Lamar should lead in cutting off this custom
airy allowance / do not know, but it strikes me
| as a very singular action for man of family to
take There are very many women employed in
| the Department of the Interior. There are times
when women are unable, probably, to be pres
ent at their desks, and it is uni nst and unright-
eous that they should be compelled to lose pay
for such absence, or else have such enforced
absence deducted from the statutory leave of
| one month in each year.
