ceived in this Office yesterday:
Grand Army Editor Dispatch:
desire to notify the fool killer through
your column that he is wanted in PhiladeI-
phia, in the office Of the Times of that city.
In an editorial that paper says:
1t is now undisputed that the cannon used by
the Homestead strikers to fre ON the Pinkerton
force that attempted to land there are in the Gus
tody of the Grand Army Post of that place. The
fact that cannon given to a Grand Army post as q
matter of compliment to its heroism and because of
the trust that is plased in the veteran soldiers Of
the Union, have been used by lawless rioters to
prevent owners from obtaining possession of their
action on the part of the Grand Army authorities.

vania. the organization shall not take the most
thorough measures to vindicate itself from the i'm
putations cast upon 1t. the State and National
Government would not only be justified but would
seem to be required to strip these Posts OF their
arms because of their tolerance Of disloyalty to
the public peace.
A more idiotfc composition of nonsense
and mistatements in the editorial column
of a newspaper of any standing would be
past conception. The newspaper should be
denounced by every Grand Army post for
this cowardly attack on the order on snch a
flimsy pretext The mere fact that the
Homestead Posts cannon was used by the
strikers cannot honestly be construed as a
reflection on the post until it is proved that
the post consented to the use OF the cannon
by the strikers. The Grand Army does not

sidered prudent for 40 OF so old soldier, some
badly crippled, to oppose 4,0J0 or 5000 des-
perate armed and able bodied men.
1t would take up too much of your valu-
able space to go into detail aud point out
the many mistatements and fallacies in the
Times editorial. 1t would be unnecessary,
because every Grand Army man will see
them at a glance. The part about the State
furnishing arms to the Grand Army Posts
Is an example. If any conlrade was ever
furnished n gun by the State or National
Government please let him rise and be

their own guns, and If the Government or a
State ever gave Grand Army Post a can
