THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
Very respectfully,

The ex-Confederates in the House Of
Representatives got off during the discus
sion Of the Pension Appropriation Bill, their
customary chestnuts about the enormous
number of Yankee soldiers they must have
killed and wounded to produce such an
immense pension list. The bad taste of this
is simply frightful. It's the last thing in the
world they should allude to. Heaven knows,
no people claiming to be civilized ever
inflicted SO many wanton barbarities upon
Union soldiers as the so-called chivalry in
their crusade for slavery. If for the credit
of the American name the people of the
North agree TO forget these enormities, the
late rebelsshould not be those 10 awaken the
frightful memories Of starvation in prison.

EUROPEAN royalty is sick crowd. The
King of Portugal recently passed away at
an age when he should have been in his
prime. His son, who succeeded TO the crown,
is weakly youth, who may vanish from
the scene as suddenly as his cousin, the
young King of Spain, did. Many physicians
think that it will only he few years mt
farthest before the Emperor of Germany
develops the hereditary madness which
drove his great-uncle from the throne, and
finally into his grave. The King of Italy is
paying the customary price for luxuriant
crop of wild oats, by "a wrecked constitution
and score of deep-seated maladies. Now
comes the news that the Prince of Wales
has been warned by his physicians that he
has Bright's disease incurably fastened upon
him, and that the chances are against his
living through another year. This has
turned attention TO his eldest son, Albert
Victor, and English papers do not hesitate
to speak most disparagngly of that young
mans intellect. They say that the Qneen,
his grandmother, has so low an opinion OF
his ability that sheg will insist on his not
marrying, 80 that the royal line may be con-
tinued through the descendants of his
brother George, whoais much brighter. Sc
it appears that kingly blood does not insure
either average brains or average health.

TIE cANsnsrnn.s STORY.


The correspondence relating TO the Story
of Cannoneer has reached such enormous
proportions that we could not find room TO
publish n twentieth part of it; over 500
contributions being nov on file in addition
to those we have printed. In fact the total
volume of this correspondence is much
greater than the story itself The great
bulk Of this matter is both interesting and
of much historical value. Occasionally
some veteran has allowed his temper
to get the best of him, and has adj
dressed the Cannoueer in language
more suited to camp life than eorrespon-
dence, but in the main, the letters show
high average of intelligence, discernment
and ability on the part of the writer's. We
do not hesitate TO say that the Cannoneer's
story has called out more copious and
valuable range of personal observation and
"reminiscences than any other serial war
sketch ever published, and we consider the
mass of letters we have on file among the
most valuable contributions to the History
of the Army of the Potomac extant.

We Eympathize with the movement OF
various trade organizations to prohibit any
but American citizens being employed on
public TOiks. A man who does not think
enough Of this country to become a citizen
and aecept the responsibilities and burdens
Of citizenship, has no right 10 any Of the

long Of right 10 the people who are part

CANADA is suffering from condition of
things similar to that which prevailed in
this country before the establishment of the
National Bank system. The banks in the
various Provinces strive to circulate their
bills as far from heme as possible, so that
they will not be presented for redemption
But the difficulty with this is that the far
ther they get from home the greater the
discount on them and the loss to the unfor-
tunate holders. The bankers are now talk
ing of locating clearing houses at various
central points, which will exchange all notes
at par. and make periodical remittances of
those OF each bank to it for redemption.
The weak and speculative among the bank
ers WILL of course, resist the adoption of
this scheme. So will the brokers, who make
their money by shaving bank bills. Cana
das wisest course would be to annex her
self to this country, which would relieve her
OF this trouble, as well as of many others.

TIE death of Gen Crook removed another
historic character from the view OF the
present generation. The number of our
gallant old Army and corps commanders has
become sadly reduced. Gems. Schoiieid,
Howard, Stanley, Miles and Gibbon are now
the only ones which appear on the active
list of the Army. Gen. Crooks death at a
time when he should have been in his prime
is another illustration Of how the terrible
strains of battle and the march make ire
parable ravagcs on the vital powers. There
is little doubt that, with his constitution and
heredity, if he had lived a peaceful life he
would have been with MS n score of years
longer. But he died "a Grant, Thomas,
Sheridan, Meade, Logan, and hundreds OF
thousands of less prominent soldiers of the
rebellion have died, because the awful
strains of war had sapped his vitality until

TILE PENsroN ENpENp1TUnEs.

The $t03,3 100 Which the House of
Representatives has voted to appropriate for
pensions for the ensuing year is far in ex-
cess of the annual value of the pension roll.
That, according to the last report of the
Commissioner of Pensions, is but 1854, 246,-
552.36, leaving $39,125d5664 to be other
wise accounted for. OF this about $8000,000
is to make good the deficiency saddled on
this Administration by its predecessor in
order to make false showing of economy,
and the remaining $31 100000 is for the
payment of claims WHICH have been hang
ing in the Pension Bureau for from 2 to 81
years, and have only been recently allowed
When the United States gets down to
business like promptness in adjusting claims
against it the annual pension figures will be
rapidly reduced.
But the expenditure of this great sum
will be of incalculable benefit to the whole
country. 1t will put ready money into cir
culation everywhere, and every man, woman
and child in the country will get share Of
the benefit. 1t will not fall into the vaults
of the money lords, MS the payments to bond
holders and other favored classes do, but go
directly into the pockets of the whole peo-
pie. 1t will pay off thousands Of mortgages
upon little farms and homes. 1t will liqui-
date tens Of thousands of accounts due
grocers, shoemakers, dry-goods men, physi-
caus landlords, and SO on 1t will go out
in hundreds of thousands of rils to the
workingmen, the farmers the small-dealers
and will quicken the current Of business
everywhere, and give n fresh impetus to the
tide of general prosperity.

Population OF the Union.

pleted, indicates that the total
population OF the United States Is
about 81, 100000. We are increas-
ing very rapidly as people, but
there is q good deal of spare room
in this country yet, and it will be
some time before We "catch up''
with Russia, with her 100, 900, 600
and more, or India, with her 240,
600, 200. China may be said to
have hopelessly distanced us, for
she has about 400, 900, 900 of souls,
and very probably before we reach
those figures, if we ever approximate
them, emigration will begin, as the
average American requires a good
deal more ''elbow room" than the
