The memory of Gen. Edward Augustus Wild

had travelled extensively. During the Crimean

On Sept. l. 1862 he promoted for bravery to be

was made Brig sdier-General of Volunteers. Be-
coming interested in mining enterprises he re-
moved TO South America. but while at Medellin
An,ioquia, Colombia. he was seized with tropical
fever from which he died. His remains were
inferred at the place where he died and his grave

his Confederate badge presented it to the Com

warning him that he not entitled to wear it,

We are waiting with no little curiosity 10
see the coming Congress try to carry ont the
promises it made the country in regard 10
an income tax. Theoretically, an income
tax is very pretty thing. Practically, it is
very bad one, producing perjury, swim
ding, lying, malice and all uncharitableness.
If attempted TO be rigidly enforced, it de-
velops all the wickedness there is in the
successful money grabber. He puts all the
wits that he has employed TO amass his
money into the task of beating the Govern
ment out OF any share of it. No other form
of tax is so certain to work TO the harm of
the man of moderate means, who intends to
pay his taxes honestly, and has not money
enough 10 fee lawyers to beat the Treasury
in his interest. The result is that the
moderately well-to-do pay all the tax, while
the rich pay nothing or next to nothing
When we see New York millionaires beat
ing the State Treasury out of the taxes on
81, 275, 900, 600 of the $1,500,000000 of per-
sonal property returned by the assessors,
we see how little chance there is of honestly
collecting tax on much more intangible
property. Still, we have been promised an
income tax, and we ought to have it.

0ur offer of free round-trip tickets to the

Our plan worked very uccessfully-every-
body was more than satisfied. Very many
were able TO visit Washington who wanted
to do so very much, but felt that they could
not incur the exp nse, ard We gave them an
opportunity which they gladly improved
There WAS nowhere q single expression of
dissatisfaction.
We Will do the same thing this year

great superiority, as there viii doubtless be
many tickets offered by various parties
which i'll be only for very slow trains, in
feriOr cars, limited as to time, ETC Our
tickets viii all be for irsi-class, fast trains.
and have every privilege given the best class
Of tickets.
The carrying out of this scheme involves
an immense amount OF correspondence and
clerical work on onr part, and we are now
prepari q schedule of the sizes of clubs
winch We viii require from different points.
We will publish this as soon as completed,
which may be some time hence.
In the meanwhile, those who intend TO

1T is TO be deplored that the Chicago
maidens who ara to masquerade as Ottoman
hours at the Turkish booths at the Worlds
Fair. resolutely refuse to adopt the eonven-
tional dress of skirts that come just below
the knees, with red trousers reaching to the
feet While THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has
always maintained the right of women to
dress exactly rs they please, unchecked by
the carping of the inferior creatures called
men, we have still cherished the secret be-
lief that the Turkish costume was the most
modest and convenient that women could
wear, and we confess to a cherished hope
that when the millions of women who will
visit the Worlds Fair saw how charming
this costume was, as especially exemplified
by The pretty creatures who dispensed cool
sherbets and comfort bringing ices, that
there wonld be general rush in the diree-
ton of the dress reform.

AN OPEN LETTER.
To Hon. William Lochren.

To Hon. William LOchren,
Commissioner of Pensions.
CoMRADE: You are as well aware as any
of us of the fierce defamation of your COM
rades and pensioners which has filled the
columns of newspapers and the mouths OF
public speakers for months and years, and
which still fills them. PROFESSIONALLY, this
has hurt you as much as it has all other
good and true comrades, who cherish their
own honor and that of the men who stood
shoulder to shoulder with them in the
bloody struggle for the Union. No one
hearted were the men of your own regiment
and brigade, and from that you can judge
of the character of the whole army. The
1st MINI. certainly was not made up of
shirks, towards, and bounty-iumpers, but of
men of the most exalted courage and pa
irotism, who gave everything TO the coun-
try. The same was equally tfne Of The
members of the 34lh and SD \. Y, the
18th Mass, and the 10Th Me, of your bril-
gade. You must also know that the whole
gades substantially as good as yours.
Knowing all this-feeling all this-we are
positive that you are buiningly anxious
10 demonstrate 10 the country the honor of
your comrades whose names appear upon
the pension roll, and the justice of the Ma
TONS payments to them.
We urge upon your attention plan by
which This can be done at once, with little
expsnse, and in a way that cannot help being
q complete answer to all the Wild aud malig-
nant charges that are being made against
pensioners as body.
1t isclearly impossible fer any commission
TO review the entire work of the Pension
Bureau for the last 80 years. and weigh
employees have been engaged since 1861.
But you can gain an accurate knowledge Of
the character Of the whole mass as readily
as an assayer determines he vaine of a earg
of ore, or a grain inspector of a shipment of
wheat, and by the same methods.
We suggest TO you that you order taken
rom the files In your Office 500 OF 1000
cases of alloxed invalid pension claims. con-
Secatiue an numbering, from the beginning Of
the second or third fiscal years under Gen.
Blacks administration Ct the Pension Blu
reau, and $50 or 1000 similar cases, also
consecutive aS 10 Numbers, from similar
period in Gen. Raun administration. This
will make 1000 or 1900 cases altogether,
large enough number for satis-
factory sample. We specify the second OF
third years of each of the Commissioners
referred to- because that will give fair
idea of their practices and rulings. After
they had been at the head of the Bureau
for year or more they had definitely i'm
pressed themselves npon it, and the policy
that it then pursued eou d be truly said to
be theirs. We insist npon consecutive num-
bers in selecting the eases, as this is the only
true way to get an accurate knowledge of
Ile whole. No one can have the hardihood
to dispute in any way the fairness of this
proposition.
Next, we ask that you have carefully

FAILURE OF Ex-srCRErARY FOSTER

FAILURE oE toSffh.
The news Of the business failure of ex-
Secretary Charles Foster will bring much
sorrow all over the country. Mr. Foster WAS
more than a successful business man, and an
able politician. His father established him
self at an early day in the heart of the IN
broken forest region, then known as the
Black Swamp" of northwestern Ohio
This, which is now one of the most
productive sections of the country, was then
a low-lyiBg, wet stEe:ch of country, covered
with a heavy growth of the finest hardwood
timber in the world. TIE difficulties of re-
ducing this to cultivation were enormous.
bitches as large as canals had TO be dug in
every direction to drain the country, and the
hard work and priyations quickly killed off
one generation of men and women. The
elder Foster was power in the community,
and by material assistance and wise advice
to his pioneer neighbors aided immensely in

store established ut near the junction of
the lines of Hancock, Wool, and Seneca
Counties, there has grown up the fourisling
town Of Fostoria, con attaining over 1900 in
habitants at the last census His son aided
in his fathers work, aud carried it on on a
much larger scale after the latier's death.
Every enterprise for the development of the
country with railroads, factories, buildings,
etc, found him liberal contributor of both
means and time. During the war the sol
diers had no better friend than Mr. Foster.
He gave much to fit out regiments,
and support the families of those who
went to the front. No soldiers family
ever appealed TO him in vain for help. He
has failed simply because he tried to do too
much toward building up Fostora and the
adjacent country. Mr.. Foster was elected to
Congress twice, was Governor Of Ohio, and
succeeded Mr. Window as Secretary of the
Treasury.

THE FARNHAM Posr MATER

THE FARNHAM POST MATER
A great deal efngaod will result from
the expulsion of Fsfnbam Post. and we con-
graduate Commander Cleary, of the Depart
ment of New York, and COMMANDMENTS
Chief Weissert upon their energetic action
in the matter. The Post had offended be-
yond endurance, and WAS eontumacious in
its offending. 1t is worth while noting that
but ITO members ont of the total member
ship of 251 attended the meeting in which
1T was decided to form an independent Or
ganization, showing that the Post is by no
means unit in it's action against the Grand
Army of the Republic.
The talk of the soldier hating papers about
the "split in the GAR. extending is sheer
nonsense The expulsion of the Post brings
the matter squarely to an issue, and opens up
q line of demarcaiion between the veterans
who approve of the pension legislation
now on the books, and those who are
1pphssu 10 III or 10 any further liberal
izlton of the pension laws. The OPP
ponents of this can now stand up and be
counted, and let the country see how few
there are of them. We have no fears of The
result. So long as the controlling members
of Farnham Post were in the Order they
could do great deal of harm by pretending
TO represent large portion of the veterans
Now that they are out of if, it viii be
seen that they represent only themselves,
and that SO per cent. of the genuine ex-
soldiers Of the country arc against them.
Their talk about being fighting soldiers I"
is bosh. We are quite will n--yes, anxious
TO compare the records of the members of
any other Post in the country with those Of
the reealcisrants of Farnham Post. Let
them send their records on 10 The Ma
