POLITICAL NOTES.

State Chairman Gowdy, of Indiana, has been
offered and accepted the Consul eneralship to
Paris
Gov. Pingree wants to move the capital OF
Michigan from Lansing to Detroit.
Woman Suffrage was defeated in the Ne
brasks House of Representatives by the de-
cisive vote of SO TO 36.
The Idaho Legislature has elected as Chan
lain Mrs. Rehecca Mitchell, President of the
Idaho Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
She was very active and influential in carrying
Idaho for Woman Suffrage.
The Investigating Committee has decided
that Senator Squire did not attempt to bribe
the members Of the Legislature, and that Rep
resentative Warner merely approached him for
81, 200 for the purpose of wining and dining
the combination to prevent a deadlock.
The New Workers are moving strongly to
have either Gen. Horace Porter or Gen. Stewart
L. Woodford given place in the Cabinet
Delaware is at work amending her obsolete
Constitution, which has been in force more
than century. The thing most implanted
of is the Legislature. which is too small-Only
nine members of the Senate, and 80 of the
House. This makes it too easy of handling by
lobbyists. 1t is proposed to make it consist of
18 Senators and SO Representatives. Next is
the inequality of representation. New Castle
County. which has 100000 people. only has
three Senators and seven Representatives, the
same as Kent County, which has only 1000
people, and Sussex, which has $4,000. 1t is
proposed to make the Hundreds-whch answer
10 Townships in other States-the basis of
representation, giving one Representative to
each Hundred, and one Senator to nearly every
two Hundreds. This will not be entirely car
ried out. owing to the jealousy of the rural
Hundreds of the City of Wilmington.

earned promotion. That body Of veterans
formed the nucleus of the grandest army
that was ever mustered on q battlefield. The
new levies that were enrolled afterwards,
and distributed through the old regiments,
looked upon the veterans as models and
guides, and in going into action they felt
perfect confidence when touching elbows with
soldiers of two or more years experience.
From a financial point Of view, the loss of
this bounty was great hardship to many, for
although their pay was increased by their
promotion, their expenses were increased In
like manner They had to fit themselves
out with the necessary uniforms and accou-
trements, and, if mounted officers, provide
their own horses.

Sergeant of my company and received all
the bounty due me would have been finan-
cially better off at the close of the war.
l claim that / earned my promotion, and
the recommendations of my superior officers
are my vouchers for the assertion; and l
claim that any bounty promised me as an
enlisted soldier should have been paid at my
final muster-out of service.
We accepted for the time being such pay
as the Government gave us, and submitted
to such rulings as were made from time to
time as a matter of necessity always trust
ing that when this cruel war is over" and
the Union restored, justice would be done
each and every one of us.-THos. LYNCH,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The opin-
ion of Comrade Edward S. Curtis, Co. ID, 18th
H., as expressed in THE NATIONAL TRIB-
USE of Dec. 81, are my opinions. His points
are well taken. Every day we hear COM
plants Of the ratings of the Pension Office.
Right here we have 90-days men getting SIP
month who never saw an armed Johnny,
and others who served from three to four
years, and wounded in action, that only get
SO per month.
Is it not little tough on the long-term
men? And why is it? Certainly man
would see more service in three years than
one could in three months. And when you
talk of Service Pension, how is it possible to
do justice and give the same to all We
read in Sacred History that the men who
commenced work at the 18th hour got
the same wages as those who worked all
day. But the boys who followed Rosecrans,
Grant, Sherman, Hooker, Meade, Mcclellan,
and others were not picking grapes. Let us
hope the time is near at hand when justice
will be done 10 all according TO merit. D.

Bounty to Commissioned Officers.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Sometime
ago bill was introduced in Congress to pay
the back bounty due to those men who re-
enlisted as veterans and were afterwards pro-
NOTED TO commissioned officers. Such law
ought to be passed as an act of justice to a
class of the very best men in the service of
the Government at the critical time they
were most needed.
There was no stipulation at the time of
their re-enlistment that they would forfeit
the bounty promised them if they afterwards

Thousands of women are cast-up dead
on the shores of life because of their own
ignorance or neglect. No woman can be
free from pain, or safe from the ever-threat-
ening breakers of death, who neglects to
take proper care of the organs that con-
stitute her womanhood. A woman who
neglects her womanly-self will be sickly,
nervous, pain-racl<ed and fretfi1, and APP
preaching maternity will be menace of the
grave. 1t is easy for a woman to avoid this
suffering and danger.
Wise women know that Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is marvellous remedy
for those troubles that make woman's life
miserable, and fill the period of prospect
i've motherhood with fears. It is the dis
covery of an eminent and skillful specialist,
Dr. r. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief con-
sulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Over
10000 women have testified to the almost
miraculous action of thistyonderful remedy.
1t works directly on the organs distinctly

He declared that the United States - .
Nation was big enough to be perfectly inde.
pendent and fearless in such matter, and said
we ought to set an example to other nations IN
ali matters looking to the promotion OF the
reign of peace. which was the paramount pur-
pose Of the pending agreement.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Turpie's remarks
Senator Morgan took the floor and went over
the ground which he had before discussed.
When the Diplomatic and Consular aprropria-
ton bill was taken up, Mr.. Morgan questioned
the item of $40, 900 for Minister to Nicaragua,
Costa Rica and Salvador, and $4,000 for
Minister to Guatemala aud Honduras. 1t was
understood, he said, that a union had been
formed by three Of these countries, and that our
Ministers to Nicaragua and Honduras had lost
their respective functions. rs their foreign
offices had been closed. The union, under the
name of the Greater Republic Of Central
America had sent Minister here who it was
understood had been received and recognized
by the President.
sit all arises" declared Mr.. Morgan, from
the fact that the President does not think it
worth his while to inform Congress as to the
status of our foreign relations He seems to
think that he can do it all himself, and that it
is unnecessary to inform Congress-"
In the House. the Notifications appropria-
tion bill was considered. Mr.. Hainer (Neb r.,
who had charge of the bill, explained its pro-
visions.
The bill carries $9,17S3 1926, based on recon-
mendaiions aggregating SlS,390, CSC. OF the
items in the bill 81, 1876 076 were to meet con-
tract obligations authorized by the current law.
Mr.. Hainer called attention to the comprehen-
sive scheme for Notifications entered upon last
year, the appropriations previous to that time
for nine years having averaged but 1913, 56S.
If it were not for the urgent necessity for
economy in expenditures he said, the commit.
tee would have felt fully justified in bringing
in bill carrying the full amount of the recon-
mendations.
An amendment was adopted, on motion Of
Mr.. Bartlett On. Y, d. appropriating $4,000
for the construction of rp-rap walls on the
eastern shore of the United States lands at
Sandy Hook. Without further amendment the
bill was passed.
