A FAVORABLE REPORT UPoN PAY
MENT OF ARREARS.

MEN1 OE A4k&sEAEkSs
Chairman Matson has prepared a favorable
report upon the subject of arrears of pen
sions. He af1rms in the broadest terms the
justice of the claim that all should be paid
arrears on the same principle, no matter
when the application was fled
His bill, however, does not provide for the
repeal of the limitation clause in the present
law, pure and simple, but only SO as to cases
fled since the date of limitation in 1880,
and up to the passage of the proposed bill.
Mr.. Matson estimates that the cost of his
bill, including cases already adjudicated and
allowances to be made of those pending, at
S25O,OC0OO0
We have always been in favor of the I'M
conditional repeal of the limitation clause
in the arrears bill, but Col Matson's propo-
sition is a step in the right direction, and as
such has our hearty support.
We assume, of course, that its author will

gress is only waiting for an opportunity to
vote upon it. The veterans understand that
favorable reports alone butter no parsnips.
Bills on the calendar draw no money out of
the Treasury.
Assuming, too, that Col Matson has that
paternal solicitude for the fate of his bill
which is but natural, he must be prompted
to join us in demand for vote upon the
proposition before the Mills bill is acted
upon and the Treasury emptied.
In other words, we assume that Col. Mat
son is honest, and that when he strenuously
urges in formal report the passage of a
benefcent measure he viii take advantage
of his opportunity as Chairman of the Inya-
lid Pension Committee and put it upon its
passage.

THAT "HoNoRARY MEMBERSHIP

The papers which are constantly on the
lookout for something that viii iniure the
GAR. have been gushing a great deal over
the alleged election by E. D. Baker Post, of
Philadelphia, Of Gen. Joseph Z. Johnston as
" an honorary member" The occasion for this
was his contribution of $40 to the charity
fund of the Post. The truth is, the Post
could do nothing of the kind, as there is no
such thing as honorary memberships
recognized by the organic law of the Order.
The National Encampment has several times
been appealed to to provide for honorary
memberships for women who rendered con-
spicuous service to our soldiers or armies, and
also for men who had done the same; but it
has always refused. Certainly, if no legal
connection could be given these, it could
not be peddled out to a rebel General for
the moderate price of $40. 1t turns out that
the matter was the unauthorized work of a
man named J. w. Frazier, member of Z.
d. Baker Post, and who has before figured
in similar way. It was he, If we recollect
Alright, who wrote to President Cleveland as
member of the Philadelphia Brigade urg-
ing the return of the flags whish that organ
ization captured at Gettysburg. The rest of
the brigade Indignantly repudiated him as
their spokesman, and it came out that ne
had nothing to do with the capture of the
fags-had, in fact, only served a short time
with his company, when he went to the
rear-detaiIed, sick or something of the
kind.
In this instance it appears that, as Chair
man of the Committee on Contributions, he
wrote to Gen. Johnston, on his own respon-
sibility, and without consultation with any
body else. The General responded promptly
and generously, and while the comrades of
E. D. Baker Post think Frazier's action was
an unwarrantabIe piece of presumption, they
feel estopt from doing what might look like
discourteous return for q graceful and
kindly act on the part of Gen Johnston.

IT tFanspires that Alabama, which, in the
person of Representative Oates, leads in
the opposition to the refunding of the Di-
rect Tax, never really paid cent of the
tax. The $18,28503 which she is credited
with, was money aeeruing to her from the

HEALTH HINTS.
SOME UGGESTIONs REGARDING THE TREATMENT OF COEGHS AND

SOME SUGGESTIONS REGARDING THE
 TREATMENT OF COUGHS, AND
 COLDS, WORTH REMEMBERING.
 A cough is usually the symptom of some disease, the character of the cough denotes the nature of the disease. A cough should never be suppressed but the desease cured, then the cough will stop of itself The most common disease that causes coughing, is cold. When person takes cold, many of the air cells of the lungs become obstructed with mucus, the coughing is an effort of nature torelieve the lungs and that is the first antf most important thing to be done in treating Il cold. The lungs should be relieved and the secretions opened. Which is the best ac complished by giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy It is the only prepara- ton in use that will cause the expulsion of mucus from the air cells of the lungs. It also renders the mucuS less tenacious and easier 10 eXpectorate and opens the secretions, aiding nature in relieving the lungs and freeing the system of all nor bid matter atfectually curing the cold. It acts i'll perfect harmony with nature and IS the only preparation in common use that does. Natures way is to open the secretlons, render the mucus less tenacious and easier to eXpectorate and relieve the lungs and that is precisely the effect Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. You ask. How do we know that is natures way?" Because if your system is strong enough to stand 1t nature, will in time relieve it of the cold without the aid of any medicine and that is just the way it goes about it, but many an 'iron constitution has been severly racked by leaving nature alone and unaided to do the work No i, one can afford 10 neglect cold, as
 'atarrh and chronic bronchitis are caused by neglected colds When I per son has a cold the mucus membrane lnlng the air passages of the head, throat and lungs is intlamed the intlam- nation however k acute and can be cured, If not cured but kept up by the cold or by succession of colds which IS very common occurrence. the inflammation becomes chronic. and if in the head is known as catarrh; if in the wind pipe and branches of it ex- tending to all parts of the lungs, it is called chronic bronchitis. Neither cat arrh nor chronic bronchitis can be per manently cured, as when apparently cured, q cold will bring them on again and every succeeding cold will aggravate them. These are facts which no observing person can deny. Ii is of the utmost ostimportanee that every cold he cured as quickly as possible after the first symptoms appear and it has been abQndently proven that there is no medicine that will cure a cold in less time than Chamberiain's Cough Remedy. besides il leaves the system in ts healthy a condition as 1t was before the cold was contracted.
