4 comrade,s YIer On Anpoinfments.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l am one
that agrees with YOU in making appointments !;
and that is that they should be given TO the
deserving and disabled ex- Union soldiers who
saved this Union and made this country what
it IS to-day. Can too much be done for them
Every eOmrade and true soldier VIII answer,
mol" Then we would say let every Federal
position, where it can, be given 70 an exsOl-
der, competency considered; and I am glad to
see that President Harrison aud his noble Cabi-
net officers are doing this in nearly every ap-
pOintment that IS being made. This policy IS
gratifying TO the old soldiers here in this part
of the South, and the same should be strictly
adhered to throughout, where it IS possible to
do so. Here in Fort Worth there are several
applicants for the position of Postmaster. and
among the number Is Capt. Daniel ). Brown,
who was a gallant soldier IN two different Ohio
regiments, and has lived here - OF is years.
He is fully competent, and besides that Is .
cripple for life from the effects of a wound re-
ceiyed in the second Ball Run battle. His ap-
poiutment to the position IS fully expected and,
all things considered, no better could be made.
Prejudice is beginning to make its appearance
against eX-UniOn soldier appointments, and es-
pecially cripples receiving them For instance,
a few days ago a certain sG-called heightened
daily newspaper published In Fort Worth said
editOrially that COrp'l Tanners only guaiihca-
tiOn Cor receiving his appointment as Commits
siOner of Pensions was the amputation of both
feet in a battle; bUt nothing better could be ex-
pected ofthe soldier-hating press, neither North
nor South. They were never known to say
anything against Southern Brigadier receive
ing an appointment under Mr.. Cleveiands re-
gime. Let the good work go on. Give more
men appointments who are in nearly the same
condition as Corp'I Tanner; and let them howl
and wall over these appointments until they
are satisfed.-JAsIEs II. ORR, Co. Z, SIst ILL.,,

Dixsatislled with The SURGEON,

The comrades in southern Illinois are not
satisfied with the action of their Representative,
Hon. George w. Smith, in having appointed on
the Board of Examining Surgeons at Cairo
a young eOlored man about . years Of age.
They think the place would better have been
filed by an old army Surgeon, and that Smith
regards the colored vote as Of more importance
to him than that of she soldier.

OUR WOMAN HEROES.
fBu Kats Bro,onlee Sher,pnndA


There are heroes for danger and heroes for war,
And heroes there without chevron or scar,
Whose monuments rise in temple of fame
Whose deeds neither herald nor trumpet proclaim.
The mothers who gave their brave sons TO the fray
with tears for their slumber and smiles for the
day;
The wives with their babies asleep in their arms,
Their hearts throbbing fast at the battle alarms
The girl leaning shy on her young lovers breast,
One kiss, It's the last ere his soul is at rest
The widow who passed from the freshly turned
sod
To comfort the wounded, or speed them to God.
No soldier e'er answered the call of the drum,
But left woman weeping until he should come;
No hero e'er died Ia the heat of the strife,
But woman IN sorrow hung over his life.
o, brave woman heroes your faith and your pride
Have urged to the conquest, have oheered those
who died;
Your prayers have lit the rough paths of defeat
Till glory blazed over the lines Of retreat.
Where carnage ran reddest and woman was SEEN
All eyes were uplifted, as 'twere to a queen;
Now open ranks. comrades, salute her once more,
Untitled, unehevroned, but dear as of yore.

Nor heed the blooms of beauty,

Where their brave souls, promoted
