ARKANSAS ENCAMPMENT.
The 18th Annual Encampment of De.
partment of Arkansas was held at Fort
Smith, Ark, May %. There were present
a large number of delegates from the vari-
GUS Posts in the State, and a good time
was enjoyed by all in attendance.
The report Of the Assistant Adjutant-
General showed an increase in number OF
Posts and of members over that of pre-
ceding year. Department Commander w.
G.. Gray delivered an interesting address.
He alluded to the lack of enthusiasm among
the members and, Judging from the tone
of the many letters received, he attributed
missioner of Pensions is handling the
claims of old soldiers. There seems to be
general complaint that justice is moi
being done to them. He stated that har
mony and peace prevailed throughout the
Department and that there had been but
one incident to mar the same during his
administration.
The following resolutions were ably
discussed and adopted with great enthu
| Siasm:
Resolred, While we recognize the right
| of every American to free speech and 6
| fair discussion of all public questions, we
deplore and condemn all utterances which
have a tendency to create dissatisfaction
or discomfort among our soldiers, or tC
encourage insurrection or rebellion among
the native inhabitants of our newly ac.
quired possessions. We regard it as oul
highest duty to yield respectful obedience
to constituted authority, and to stand
unhesitatingly by the flag of our country
wherever it floats. We have faith in the
wisdom, patriotism and fidelity of Presi-
dent Mckinley, the same as we had in
President Lincoln when we were soldiers
of the Republic in arms for the preservation
of the National Union, and we have nc
fear from any act of this Administration
that Imperialism or miitarism will ever be
imposed upon the American people,
Resotred, While we recognize the fact
that the hands of the Commissioner OF
Pensions, the Honorable Henry Clay
Evans, are completely tied by the iniquit-
Gus and pernicious civil service, through
it's use and abuse by President Cleveland
in a manner never contemplated or in
tended by the trainers of the law, we re-
spectfully urge President Mckinley to
relieve the Pension Bureau from the opera
ton of the civil service, to the end that
justice may be done and the rights Of the
veterans more promptly acknowledged.
Be it further resolred, First, That it is
