OR COMMISSIONER.
Suggestions for Head of the Pension
Bureau.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: As you have
given an invitation TO the veterans to express
their preference for Commissioner of Pensions
through the columns Of your valuable paper, L
would suggest Comrade James Tanner, of New
York. In your well timed editorial of the 18th
ult you have placed the question of appoint
ment to that office ia its true light before the
country. The pecnliarities surrounding this
appointment, and the manner in which 1t stands
ont from all Others are well expressed.
The feeling Of interest. sympathy, comrade-
ship and bond of union that should exist be-
tween the incumbent and those whom he is
expected to serve, Is strikingly presented. 1t
makes all the difference in the world TO the
WORKOUT pensioner if his money comes to him
through channels filed with sacred memories
of the past and generous sympathy for hls
helpless condition. and one that is merely
cold. heartless conformity to law.
There is a growing sentiment among veter-
ans that they have right TO be heard
in this appointment. Not that they want
to dictate to the new Administration the man
himself only the kind of man he shall be, just
as the farmers want to be heard in the appoint
ment of the Commissioner Of Agriculture, or
banks and commerce in the appointment OF the
Secretary of the Treasury.
There are scores of comrades all over the
country who would be acceptable, and who fill
all the requirements laid down in THE Ma
a "
preference but are willing TO accept anyone
who fills the bill However kindly comrades
may feel toward Gen. John c. Black, no one
seriously thinks of him being retained, and least
of all Gen Black himself. So we had as well
begin to look elsewhere without delay.
In looking over the entire field of available
comrades, COrp1 Tanner seems to loom up
as the man. He certainly stands as repre-
sentative typein his own person and character,
Of a very large class Of soldier-citzens produced
by the war of the rebellion, aud as such his
would be the most acceptable appointment that
could be made.
He has a national reputation, established
on his merits alone, having never held an
Office that could give him prestige or favor.
BE has hosts of friends here in Indiana and
all over the great West who would rejoice in
his appointments. q. ALBIN, Co. c, 9th

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: When you
asked an expression from the boys as to their
choice as to vino should be the Commissioner
Of Pensions, the name Of Maj. r. w. Jacklin
suggested itself to me at once as person who
would exactly FL the bill Maj. Jacklin was
well known in both the Second and Fifth
Corps. Army of the Potomac At the breaking
out of the war he was a Sergeant in~the Detroit
Light Guards, and was only Is years old.
Early in 1861 be Joined Brady's Sharpshooters
which was attached to the 10th Mich. He was
made Adjutant. and in the Spring of 1864 was
promoted to Major and placed in command of
the battalion Of sharpshooters of the First Di-
vision, Fifth Corps, where he served until the
war closed He was captured at Laurel Hill,
but not until his cheese-knife " was painted
red with rebel blood. He with about 500 other
prisoners were rescued by our cavalry while
making raid in the rear of Lees army. He
was brave and dashing officer, and was al
ways with his command. He never said " Go !" /;
it was always Come on, boys" He is well
qualified for the position, and is friend of the
soldier. he is an honest, upright citizen, and
would lend dignity TO the Commissonership,
as well as do justice to the old boys. The
President could not find better man in the
country for the position.-J. S, lone of Stock

BEDROOMS.

A good supply of bedclothes makes night
fires superAuous People who have tried both
plans will agree that, as rule, sleepess nights
are rarer in Winter than in Summer, unless
the benefits of low temperature are counter
acted by glowing stove. DR.. William Car
penter mentions the case of baby born not
less than four months before the regulation
time, and adds that the vital power of the mite
was SO low that it had to be sustained by artif-
cial heat but that, under the influence of heat
by fire, he evidently became weaker, while the
warmth of a bed made him lively and compar-
atiyely strong. But even a bedroom fire is
preferable to French feather-bed, aud it would
be well if the cooperative guests of crazy
guilt party" would devote a portion of their
industry to blanketweaying. A simple ex-
pertinent will illustrate the hygienic difference
between woven blankets and padded quilts"
Put piece of thick wooden cloth over kettle
of boiling water, and notice how soon the steam
will make its way through the welt, while a
cotton-lined coat would stop it like tight
fitting lid. In the same way quilt-much
more pile of quilts-will tend to check the
exhalations by which the skin supplements the

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I desire to

Comrade Johnston is now closing ND his
