The following resolution was unanimously
adopted by Stevens Post, No. 5L7, Ltitz, at a re-
cent meeting:
Resolved, That the thanks of Stevens Post, No.
5l7, GAR, be. and are hereby rendered to IHE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE for the open letter addressed to
Hon. Jno. w. Noble, Secretary of the Interior, IN
which the subject of pensions is ably and fully dis.
cussed and reform and thorough enforcement OF
the pension laws asked for through the Pension
Bureau.
Resolred, That copy of this resolution be for
warded to Hon Jno w. Noble, Secretary OF the
Interior, and to the Editor of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE.
The veterans who reside in that hourishing little
city, Bradford, Mexican County. are perfectly sat
isied with the result of the rebellion, and are pre-
pared to lend helping hand to the Johnny Rebs.
There is limit to AL things, however, and the
Bradford boys draw the line at the Haunting of the
Stars and Bars. 4 week ago last Saturday the conf
rades gave an entertainment the first of series,
under the auspices of Post No 14I. At the conclu-
sion of the program Comrade j. K Wallace exhib-
tied several badges which he had received from
Virginia. One of these badges was Confederate
flag upon white silk badge. ANOTHER was the
Stars and Stripes and the Stars and Bars entwlned
upon white badge. letter accompanying these
badges asserts that these worn at all iars enter
tainments, etc., held in the old Dominion slate.
The indignation of the comrades was aptly ex-
pressed in resolution unanimously indorsing the
suggestion that Congress be requested to pass a
law making such use of the Confederate flag an
act of treason, and all that the word implies.
United aetlOn TINS matter would nave the
desired by Bradford comrades.
"Ohio-Banner Department 1889 is the DIS
tnction at last secured by the comrades OF ONO.
According to the reports for the fourth quarter OF
1888 Ohio has 1900 Pennsylvania 1900, and New
York 10000 members. This Is not relished by us
Pennsylvanians, but we echo the following from
Commander Stewart: The most gratifying re-
ports are being received at these headquarters of
the renewed interest that is being manifested in
the various sections of the Departmental the work
of the Grand Army. Especially is this so in the
line of recruiting General Orders No. D. Com
manders of Posts were requested to appoint a
recruiting committee to secure new members; a
delinquent committee to see that comrades do not
| allow themselves to become in arrears, and also to
secure the speedy reinstatement Of those who have
| been suspended or dropped In ali cases where
| such committees have not been appointed let I'M
| mediate action be taken Let every Post in the
] Department be earnestly engaged in the work. 1t
/ is possible to have $1,000 members in good stand

work and effort on the part of every comrade. Ar
| range for Campfires and visitations. Make Post
meetings attractive and entertaining. Every old
soldier should be III our organization Every old
soldier Will be II proper effort is made" In the
| meantime the Department of Ohio is on top, so to
| speak. Three months have elapsed since these
| numbers were secured, and our comrades have
! been working hard. What the result of their ef-
forts has been, will not be able to tell until May
or june This delay is caused by careless Post
| officers, who neglect TO send their reports to De
| paTtment Headquarters.
Section of General Orders No from Depart.
| ment Headquarters, is as follows: " These Head
quarters are informed that T. a. Gillespie. claim
| ing TO be member of Post No. 9, Boston, Depart
