The National tribune., 1888-05-17

QUITE number OF the soldier constituents
of Hon. r. W. Townshend, of Illinois, have
written him, urging that he take up the Dis
ability Bill and do what he can to push it
through to success. These requests are the
result of a natural impotence of the com
rades at CONGRESSES dilatoriness in acting
upon the Disability Bill. They are the re-
suit also ola misconcepti0u, to which any one
is liable, of the facts in the situation. I'm
doubtedly, if Mr.. Townsbend had the power
to press the Disability Bill to final passage,
it would be done with a promptness that
would charm the most inpatient vet
eran. That is the kind of man Mr..
Townshend is. Wherever there is an OPP
portunity to effectively serve the veteran, he
is mp and doing, without need Of Emporium
ing or pressing. But he has no more powerin
the matter than any other Member, outside
of the Chairman of the Committee on Invalid
Pensions. All that he can do is to use his
influence with Chairman Matson to have
the Bill brought before the House for con
sideration, and when this is done, if ever, he
may get grant of i've or more minutes to
present his arguments in its behalf and
when the roll is called he can vote upon it,
Beyond this the whole matter is in the
hands of Chairman Matson, whose autocracy
is only limited by the power of the Speaker
to recognize him or not at pleasure Inas-
much az the Speaker and Col. Natson are in
thorough political and personal harmony,
this power is likely to be only used az Col.
Mats0n wishes.
The National tribune., 1888-05-17

Col. Matson's proposition to put off certain
classes Of disabled Union veterans with a
pension of few paltry cents a month is a
gross disparagement Of their services below
those rendered by soldiers in previous wars.
The soldiers of the Revolution, of the war
of 1912, and of the Mexican War all re-
ceived So month, and their widows the
same.
AS rule none of these men rendered
anything like the service rendered by those
who served even the shortest terms in the
war of the rebellion The average three
months man in the latter served much
longer, did more hard fighting, and achieved
greater results than the average soldier in
the wars that preceded the rebellion.
The Revolution and the war of 1912 were
fought almost wholly by militia, called into
service for few weeks during an emergency,
and dismissed to their homes as soon as the
emergency passed.
Whole years passed during the Revolu-
ton without shot being fred in great
regions of the Colonies which were at war
with the mother country. For example,
the main army under the command of Wash
ington did not fight a battle after Mon
mouth, which occurred June %, 1778, till
it began the siege of Yorktown, Oct. 8, 1881,
more than three years later.
1t was the same in 1912, though the peri
DDS Of inaction were not SO long The mi
litia would be called out to make some
movement against the Canadian frontier, OF
to repel an incursion by the British or In
dams They would be out for few days OF
weeks, when they would go home and remain
there, probably not to be disturbed again
during the war. Thus, in December, 1913
Gen. Jackson called out the militia OF
Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana and Missis.
sippi, to defend New Orleans, and succeeded
in gathering about 5000 men. The most Of
these did not arrive in the city until Jan
and were sent home before the end of the
month.
Regularly volunteers for one year
were raised for the Mexican war under an
act Of Congress passed May II, 1886 Az
the war virtually ended by the capitulatior
of the City of Mexico in September of tht
next year, it win be seen that only the very

GEN. JOHN @. BLACK.

The record of Gen. Black as Commissioner
of Pensions is unparalleled. He deserves
well of all who wore the blue. He has
been their true friend in need and in
deed. The question that arises, in view of
his splendid record and his able administra-
ton of the Pension Bureau, is, will the
Democratic party, in National Convention
assembled, recognize his worth and reward
the man who above all others in his party
is entitled to favor and recognition so far as
the Union soldiers Of the Republic are con
cerned? One hundred thousand veterans
have had their condition ameliorated by the
wise, just and liberal policy which Gen.
Black has pursued in the discharge of the
functions of his high Office. What records

We take pleasure in announcing that We
have secured q magnificent serial story from
the pen Of the most popular living writer
for young folks. Upon Col Knox's shout
ders has fallen the mantle Of the late Capt.
Mayne Reid. The Colonel was a gallant
soldier. and in his latest story, written ex-
clus-rely for TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE. he
carries two young heroes over ground he
fought upon himself q quarter Of a cen
fury age. The narrative reaches It's climax
in the famous battle Of Pea Ridge with
the defeat Of the celebrated Ben 8fcCuIloch,
who fell there, and it's horrible butchery Of
the Enion wounded By the Indians in the
rebel service.
The Colonel was wounded in Missouri,
where lie saw double service as q soldier and

THE ruinous low tariff of 1916, which
condemned the country to nearly free trade
for Is years, was forced through by tactics
similar to those employed to secure the
passage of the ubiquitous Mills Bill It was
conceived by Mississippi Secretary of the
Treasury, and put through Congress by a
cabal from the same section which furnishes
the motive power for the Mills Bill It
passed the House by vote of ia to 95, but
the Senate was a tie on it, and it only went
through by the Yice-President-G George NJ.
Dallas casting his vote for it.

oUR FAITH IN Coz. 1870.

We are forced TO the confession that our
faith in Col. Matson is not 50 strong as it
was when we went to press week ago.
Since then he has let seven more precious
days slip by without lifting a finger to pro-
mote pension legislation.
To all of his friends this has been dis
appointment but TO none has it been so sore
as to Us. We have wanted to believe that
Col Matson, himself a good soldier, had the
active sympathy with bis disabled and dis
tressed comrades that we naturally expect
in every good soldier. We have wanted to
believe that-as with most soldiers-this
feeling dominated others in his bosom; that,
ike soldiers generally, he was willing to
make sacrifices of ambitions, personal con-
venience, and even partisan affiliations, in
order TO aid those deserving ones who once
stood shoulder 10 shoulder with him in the
great work Of saving the Nation.
Had he done so, no trumpet would have
been sounded louder in his praise than ours.
Oar regret that he has not done so has
that acute sadness which comes when one
from whom we have expected much has sig
DalIy failed to justify our anticipations.
No one knows better than he the great
danger attending this wasting away of week
after week in inaction. At any time within
the past five months be could have secured
all the time he desired for the ampIest con-
sideration Of any bill that he might have
reported. Now the foodgates of accumu-
lated business, which other committees have
been maturing, are about to open.
An inundation Of measures, made impor-
tunate by public necessity, or strong selfish
interests, is now likely to overwhelm Con
gress at any day, and render it exceedingly
difficult to get any consideration Of pension
Legislation.
Westill believe, however, that Col Matson
will soon make an effort in the direction in
which be has been so long expected to move.
His entire responsibility for the fate Of all
the pension legislation Of this session is SO
clearly understood by the whole mass Of
the people, that this alone will make him
anxious to do something that viii fulfill in
some degree the reasonable expectations
entertained Of him.
The National tribune., 1888-05-17

THE 69th N. Y. lost 80 killed, SO badly
wounded and 95 taken prisoners at the first
Bull Run, which the regiment fought while
serving its three-months' term. Here in a
single engagement one regiment lost more
than the 8,018 volunteers from Texas lost in
the whole Mexican war. Yet the survivors of
the latter get s. month, whether sick or
well, while under MatsOn's mangling amend
ments q broken-down survivor of those of
the Goth who fought at Bull Run would only
get 90 cents. What fairness is there in
this?

The National tribune., 1888-05-17

few who got in early served as long as
one year, while the great majority
served very short periods, and saw
no fighting whatever. No volunteer regi-
ment in the Mexican war saw any
thing like as much hard service and fighting
as the three-months' regiments which drove
the rebels across the State of Missouri, and
fought with them in the sanguinary battle
of Wilson's Creek. Nor did any such regi-
ment have a service equal to that of the
three-months' men who delivered West
Virginia from the rebels, or who fought at
Bull Run.
To offer the men who rendered this SPLEEN
did service but so cents month, while the
men who went out for few days in the
Revolution OF the war Of 1912, orwho served
go days in the Mexican war get So looks like q
studied attempt to depreciate the services Of
the men who put down the rebellion.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Let its IlluStriOus Founder be Fit
tingly Remembered On It.

Memorial Day is again at hand. The day
consecrated to the memory of the high
hearted heroes who sacrificed themselves to
secure the country salvation is near, and we
must address ourselves to the most tender,
gracious and elevating of any day of the
whole year-the most honoring to the coun-
try's dead-the most honorable in those who
perform it.
Among the muItitudinous customs of the
earth's peoples there is in no country an OBJ
ser7ance 50 elevated and elevating as ours of
setting apart a day annually to glorify pa
tFiotism, selfsacrifoe and high courage by
decorating with Spring flowers the graves of
those whose lives and deaths were ideal
examples of those lofty qualities.
To appropriately celebrate the day there
should be joined to the proceedings a fitting
remembrance of the ilIustrious comrade from
whose ardent love came the establishment of
the custom. It was Gen. John A Logan, the
greatest Of American volunteers, who, as
Commander-in-Chief of the GAR, ordained
it in an order Of unsurpassed beauty and
elevation Of sentiment.
How fitting it viii be to honor him on the
day that he had set apart for honoring the
martyrs of the Nationl This can be best
done by making it the occasion to collect
funds to assist in raising to him a proper and
lasting monument, which viii testify TO all
time the exalted place he has in the hearts of
the men who saved the Nation from de-
struction.
Comrades, remember John A. Logan's
grave when you remember those upon which
you are to lay floral tributes of honor and
affection. You cannot, as much as you
would ike, all lay flowers upon his tomb
but you can do what is equally effectuaI
send a contribution from your Post and your
community to his monument fund. Do this,
comrades. Let Us have a Memorial-Day con-
tribution from every Post in the Order.
