A SOKDID PATRIOTISM.

A few days ago we referred at some length
10 an article on pensions in the August num-
Der of the North American Review from the
pen of Green B. Raum, the United States
Commissioner of Pensions.
There was one feature of this remarkable
article-remarkable for the light which it
threw upon the relative strength of the Con-
federate and Federal armies-upon which we
did not touch, but which is nevertheless
worthy of separate comment. This feature
WAS the mercenary view which General Raum
took of patriotism, view so sordid indeed
that it must have been shocking to many of
his Northern readers.
There seems to be-" he says, three we'll
defined grounds upon which pension laws
and other beneficial legislation for soldiers
rest: first, to stimulate the spirit of patriot
ism in the people by recognizing and honor
ing the love of country exhibited by the SOL
diers; second. a recognition that the monthly
pay of the soldier was not suitable equiva-
lent for the services rendered; third broad
sentiment of gratitude upon the part of the
people to men who have died in defense of
their country and to those who nave risked
health and life under the flag"
THE paltry dollars, lie adds. which SOL
der receives as monthly pay for his military
service in time of war cannot be considered a
suitable equivalent for his patriotic services"
number of other sentences in similar
strain might be quoted from the same article
to show that General Raum considers the
pecunisry rewards of patriotism to be those
which are sweetest to the soul of the Northern
soldier. 1t is difficult to believe that the mass
of the Federal veterans who actually i'm
perilled their lives in battle entertain the
same selfish opinion of the value of patriotic
bravery and fortitude Such an idea, we are
confident would be abhorrent to the great
body of the survivors of the Southern armies.
who threw themselves into the sanguinary
contest under the influence Of patriotic
emotions and impulses, and without thought
of future rewards in dollars and cents when
Southern independence had been secured
General Raum's mercenary view of patriotic
services in time of war reveals only too plainly
how far-reaching are the corrupting influences
of money getting when the spirit of the whole
community is devoted to its accumulation
by fair means or by foul

Numerous assertions TO the contrary not.

possible Republican candidate for the presi-

letter to Mr. William A. Gavett. of that same

Blaines absence from his post at Washing

been seriously ILL., but that he has needed
long rest from his Official duties, as he had

John Wise in Richmond.

Captain John s. Wise was in the city yester-
phur. In conversation with TIMES reporter,
he said he was constantly busy. being counsel
for the Edison Company. and rarely had time
for anything but work; that at the present
time New York was intolerAbly dull; that
man Of Importance was ashamed to be
seen in the metropolis during this
month"; that the weather there had
been surprisingly delightful during the sum-
mer; that several Richmond men were making
fortunes in Gotham: that he had not the time
70 engage in local politics; that he was down
in Richmond merely on private business; that
his family were at LurAy. and that he was

THE GRAND ENCAMPMENr.
Members of Phil Kearnev Post Left Las,
Evening for Detroit.

Commander p. Keenan,. Junior Vice Com
mander ID. X. Wilson. Chaplain W. A. Par
sons and Comrade William Heller Of Phil
Kearney Post of Richmond, with several
citizens. left last evening ON the1Northern
train for Detroit. where they will attend the
annual National Rncampment OF the Grand
Army of the Republic.
They will stop at Baltimore for some time
being the guests of the Department of Mary
land, and while there will be joined by repre-
sentatives from Norfolk. Portsmouth, and
Old Point posts. Leaving Baltimore. the
delegation will be entertained at supper at
Altoona, and returning from Detroit they will
visit Buffalo and Niagara Falls
There will be nearly a hundred thousand
mon IN the encampment and several impor-
tant measures will be brought up for action.
An effort will be made by the Maryland. Po-
tomae, Virginia and contiguous posts to have
the National Encampment hold their next
years session in Washington. This is
done from the fact that in 1893 the encamp-
ment will be'held in Chicago. The encamp-
ment last year was held in Boston.
Several ladies accompanied the Richmond
delegation.

TIE unusual amount of interest which has
been aroused in the sanitary condition OF the
city is amply justified by the death rate. The
fact is that our people are beginning to real
ize very fully that Richmond is no longer a
small town. but city in which as strict regu-
lations have to DO established for the preser-
walton of the public health as if our popula-
ton was as large as that of Baltimore, Wash
ington. st. Louis or Boston, or oven New
York. Apart from what is due to each indi-
vidual citizen. no city can rest for any length
of time under the imputation Of unhealthi-
ness without injury TO its reputation Of the
most serious character. The attention which
the sanitary questions arc now attracting
should not be permitted to die out until the
NEST obvious precautions have been taken.
Every consideration calls for the erection of the
crematory. if absolutely unavoidable. within
the corporate limits. otherwise outside. Every
consideration requires that we should have an
inspector of plumbing. Every consideration
demands that we should have an inspector of
meat and milk and the pnblic should not
relax ia their efforts until all three are secured.

he would accept unless be knew what he was
talking about.
The sum of the whole matter is that Presi-
dent Harrison had better watch Blaine. No
matter what private assurances the Secretary
may have given, so long as the latter allows
himself to be in the position Of being in the
hands of his friends" he is dangerous. No
one in the country knows better than Har-
rison that if Blaine wants the nomination he
can hold the field against all corners, and I'M
less he dies, OF over his own signature gives
his party distinctly and most emphatically to
understand that under no possible circum-
stances-whether he is wanted or not-will he
accept the Republican misunderstanding IN
