The men not on the rolls are prevented
from making like proof. Cure this by
passing the Service Pension Bill.
Now, as to the true. economy of the
measure. Returning to the Book OF
Proverbs, the oath and 25th verses Of
the Alth chapter say:
"The liberal soul shall be made fat
and he that watereth shall be watered
also himself.
:" He that withholdeth corn the people
shall curse him; but blessing shall be
on the head of him that selleth it,"
What the people of the United States
need most urgently at this moment is a
relief from the congestion in the money
centers. There is an abundance of
money in the country, but it is all locked
up in the vaults of the banks The
supreme necessity is for something that
will restore its circulation. This the
passage of the Service Pension Bill will
do more effectively than any other meas
ure that can be devised. 1t will dis
tribute a considerable amount of money
at once to every community in the
country, in way that will at once put
it into active circulation. 1t will start
the wheels of business in every village
and market place. 1t will break the
present lethargy, as the warm Spring sun
is melting the SHOWS and unlocking the
streams which turn the mill wheels and
float the heavily-laden barges A few
dollars here and few dollars there, all
over the country, will be worth many
millions congested in banks. Those who
get their little stlpends will at once pay
their small debts with them to storekeep-
ers, physicians, landlords, etc. These in
turn will pay their obligations, and in
side of a month every 800 will pay
$1,000 or $4,000 worth of indebted
ness. Hope and courage will spring up
everywhere, and in doing an act of emf
nent justice you will be taking the
wisest possible steps to restore prosperity
TO the country. Let us recall to you
the words of that eminent fnancier,
Senator Sherman, who said that moth
ing contributed so much toward the sue
cess of the resumption of specie pay
ments as the passage of the Arrears Of
Pensions Bill.
Yours, hopefully,
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.

MORE INyUDICIoUs ECONOMY.
TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.

For many years there has been a
strong desire on the part of everyone
cognizant of the facts to have more
direct and easy road from Washington
to the National Cemetery at Arlington
and the military post at Fort Myer. AT
present circuit of several miles has to
be made from the central part of the
city to reach either of the places, and
Arlington is farther off, though nearer
the city than Fort Myer.
To remedy this is matter which has
interested not only the citizens of Wash
ington, but al visitors. All these desire
to visit the beautiful National Cemetery
and the cavalry camp. The remedy
took the shape of plan for a Memorial
Bridge, which has been several times
described in these columns, and which
would be at once 4 great monument to
the Union army and navy and a pub
lie convenience. 1t was TO spaa- the
Potomac directly in font of Arlington,
and but short distance from the White
House, War, State, and Navy Depart
ments, and other important places in
the heart of the city.
The need of such bridge was so
obvious that private corporation sought
the privilege from the sd Congress to
build it. But the War Department
strenuously and effectively resisted this
grant to a private corporation, ON the
ground that it should be Government
structure. The War Department has in
fact for number of years been urging
Congress to give it the authority and
money to build the bridge. In the 49th
Congress-seven years ago--the Senate
passed resolution directing the Secre-
tary of War to make the necessary sur
veys and estimates. Since, the success
sive Secretaries of War, Chief Engineers,
and Quartermasters-Gen have con-
stantly urged the matter upon the atten-
ton of Congress, and urged that action
be taken. Committees have reported in
its favor, and the following bill, passed
by the Senate Feb. II, is now before the
House:
That the Secretary Of War is hereby author
lied and directed to have constructed a
memorial bridge from the most convenient
point Of the Naval Observatory grounds, or
adjacent thereto, across the Potomac River
10 the most convenient point of the Airing
ton estate property, subject to such regula-
iions as he shall prescribe, the limit of cost
oil which shall not exceed 100000.
SEC. 2. That the sum OF 100000, or so
much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby
appropriated, out of any money in the
Treasury not otherwise appropriated,
for the purpose of making the neces-
sary surveys, soundings, and borings on
the line of the proposed bridge, and
for securing designs and estimates of cost,
and commence construction OF said bridge,

ABYssINIA.
Abyssinia is a mountainous country, some
what smaller than Texas, and isolated by des-
erts of sand. 1t has, as near as can be ascer-
tanned, about 100000 people. The basis of
this population is negro, but about csc years
before Christ war in Egypt resulted in about
100000 of the warrior caste in Egypt being
driven out of the country, and they took refuge
in the abyssinian mountains, where they min
gled with the people, and taught them the
Egyptian arts aud knowledge. The royal fam
lily claims to be descended from a son which the
Queen of Sheba bore to King Solomon; but
this story is not much credited by historians.
The Abyssinians have maintained their indie.
