End of the War-Pay.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Was the sur
render of Lees army considered the end of the
war, and what is the date thereof? 9. At what
date was the soldiers wages changed from $I3
to $40 per month? Please answer in THE Ma
TIONAL TRIBUNE, and you will oblige an old
soldier. w. ADAMS, Blairstown, N. J.
THE surrender of Lee was considered mere
~ as the virtual end of the war. The surren-
der of Johnston helped confirm this, as did also
the surrender of Gen. Dick Taylor, which fin
ished up all the rebel forces east of the Missis-
sppi. 1t was still feared that the war would
be carried on west of the Mississippi. and the
Government began sending troops thither, bnt
Kirby Smith wisely concluded to surrender,
which he did May 26. Lee surrendered April
8, Johnston April &C. and Dick Taylor May 4.
The monthly pay of infantry priyates was
fixed as follows at dates named:

QUESTIONS.

Is it wise for GAR. Chaplains who are
ministers to associate freely with the old Veter.
ans? Answer: Emphatcally yesI Why not3
i presume this question arises from the mis-
taken idea that the veterans are hummer"
and therefor not fit associates for elergymen.
have associated freely with them for over 20
years; aud why?
1. Because they are eminently worthy. While
there are some hummer" in the g. 4. R. as in
all society, yet as a body find more intelli-
gence and morality among them than among
any equal number of men outside.
Among them are our best citizens, our best
church members, and the substantial men that
make up the bone and sinew ofour business and
social life. You have only to look in upon one
of our annual Encampments TO be satisfied Of
this. You will scarcely find a more intelli.
gent and moral body of men anywhere than
make up our National Encampments; or who
will drink less intoxieants while in session or
elsewhere. / have attended many of their
Encampments, and the unanimous verdict OF
the people is that at their gatherings there is
far less rowdyism, drinking. ETC., than at any
gathering not strictly religious. Some of you
will be surprised at this and perhaps question
its correctness but l am sure / am right. and
you will agree with me- after careful obseRYa-
ton.
2. associate with them because here is .
great aud inviting field of usefulness.
At one of my charges the Post Com mander,
his wife and whole family, together with n
large number of the officers and members of the
Post were converted and joined the different
churches. 1t came about through my assOcia-
tion with them as Post Chaplain, and that, too,
without my ever preaching religion to them at
Post meetings
Here is q wide-open field for a wise Chaplain,
and we should not fail to enter il from false
notions that many obtain among some about Us.
By all means, yes-associate with them and be-
come familiar with them and their families.
Who will give US suggestions on this question:
"How can Post Chaplain help his local
Post?"
Send answers to Chaplain d. R. Lowell. Fort
Riley. Kan, or to Rev. Geo. Z. Hoover, Daven-
port Iowa.

FIXING THE BLAME.
Who Is Responsibl" for Delaying Tarin
Legislation.

Who Is Responsible for Delaying Tafin
Legislation.
Democratic apOlogists are having
their lines cast in hard places these
days. Facts pile up against them with
terrible precision and swiftness, and
each hour of delay in settling for good
or i'll the great question of tariff legis-
lation brings with it an addition Of
odium and disgrace that has already
been laid at their door. As to this
more recent delay republican skirts
have been kept clear. Since the senate
passed its bill no republican has ut
tered more than few words of de-
bate, no one has made q single dila-
tory motion, no one offered the slight
est degree of obstruction. Democratic
dissensions. wranglings and recrim-
nations have filed the hours Of con-
gress. Democratic conferrees have
sat and looked at each other" in the
language Of the willy senior senator
from New York, and all this the coun-
try knows, and condemns with bitter
words and more potent political reso-
buttons.
The point of special interest In all
this Is to try to ascertain just where,
inside the charmless circle OF democ-
racy, the responsibility for delay rests.
And it must be said, as it is secretly
felt in Washington already, that on
Grover Cleveland's shoulders must
fall the burden. No sane observer Of
affairs can doubt that before that
famous letter was written, the senate
bill had every advantage Of war, and
it was question Of only few hours
when the house would surrender un-
conditionally. The white flag was
tied to the haiyard, when from the
white house came that curious COM
mand to hold the fort. New hope
came to the weary soldiers, the guns
were renamed and the war COM
menced afresh.
The outlook to-day IS doubtful in
the extreme. There may be no tariff
legislation at all. And if all the
trouble, and turmoil and attack on
American industries comes to naught,
there can be no doubt that Cleveland
can be honestly thanked for what he
has done, however little he intended to
do it.-Boston Traveller.

Revelations which Make Things Look
Dark for the Democracy.
The report of the sugar trust inves-
tiga.iag committees represents tho
happening of the expected. There was
never any reason to look for u differ
ent result, because there was never
any reason to suppose that the COM
mittee would make an earnest and
thorough attempt to obtain the facts
A great deal of testimony has been
taken, but il il mostly of the kind that

The accused parties, and many not &C
cused, were summoned one after an
other and their pleas of not guilty &C
cepted Is conclusive proof in the case.
There is nothing to show that plain
clews were followed up in q capable
and resolute way. or that suspicious
circumstances were pushed to . def
mite and satisfactory explanation The
methods employed to ascertain the
truth concerning alleged corrupt or
improper proceedings were calculated
to defeat that purpose by providing
ample opportunity for concealment.
line Of action was 50 adjusted as to in
troduce an abundance of irrelevant
matter and to keep the essential points
out Of sight. There is no doubt in the
public mind as to the fact that for
tunes were made by spectators upon
advance information furnished by
democratic senator's, and that certain
of those senators were large gamers in
the matter; but the committee was
SO did not find it.
There are some things of damaging
kind in the report, however. which
could not be suppressed. 1t is stated.
for instance, that Secretary Carlisle
drafted sugar schedule which was
favorable to the trust, and that the
schedule finally agreed upon was Of
the same character. In other words,
it appears that the administration, as
represented by Mr.. Carlisle, took q
special interest in the sugar matter,
and that its recommendations were in
perfect accord with the wishes of the
trust. This does not legally prove that
the trust was given the protection and
advantage that it desired. or demand
ed, in return for its large contribution
to the democratic campaign fund of
1892; but certainly the coincidence
raises strong presumption TO that
effect. II there was not bargain of
that kind, then the democratic sena-
tors. with the approval, if not at the
instance of the administration, made
the trust a valuable present at the cost
of the government and the people as
an act of generosity. When the affair
is looked at from any point of view it
has an ugly aspect. The trust got
what it desired. let the explanation be
what it may. 1t is for those who thus
favored gigantic and grasping mo-
nopoly to convince the country, if they
can, that they were actuated by honest
and patriotic motives, in spite Of the
very distinct indications that other
and less creditable influences had .

cause they do not observe the divine
rule. God says: ''Well. if that man is
not satisfied with ninety cents of a
dollar, then I will take the whole
dollar, and I will give it to

stacle to charity in the Christian
church to-day is the fact that men ex-
pend so much money on their table,
they have nothing left for the work Of
God and the worlds betterment. In
my first settlement at Belleville. n. J.,
the cause of missions was being pre-
sented one Sabbath, and q plea for the
charity of the people was being made,
when an old Christian man in the audi
ence lost his balance and said right out
in the midst of the sermon: ''Mr. Tai
mage, how are we to give literally to
these grand and glorious causes when
our families dress as they do?'' I did
not answer that question. 1t was the
