FRAUDS IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
The Commander In Chief Makes Some Crush

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 5, 1900.
To CALVIN FARNSwORTH, Department
Commander, Department of the Potomac,
Grand Army of the Republic.
DEAR COMRADE: l regret deeply that
| must leave for my home in New York
tomorrow morning, to be present at the
marriage of my daughter on the Sth. and
can not depart without sending a few words
TO my comrades of the Department of the
Potomac in their Annual Encampment
assembled. | came on special to speak
at the banquet rendered me on pension and
other matters of direct interest to our Order,
and | trust my words echoed your loyal
sentiments of cOmradeship and duty.
AS germane to what in part said the fol-
lowing note handed me by comrade this
evening after my speech will be of interest:
Possibly you have not noticed the last
annual report of the Attorney General.
If not, get one and look at the subhead,
Criminal Prosecutions, which shows con
victions, acquittals, etc, on account of vio-
lation of different laws, as follows:
The National tribune., 1900-02-15

''Of the prosecutions still pending July1.
1899, 1859 were for violation of Internal
Revenue laws; 155 Postoffice laws, 112
custom laws, and 1876 pension laws"
1t occurs to me that there is food for
thought in the foregoing, in view of the fact
that in our papers here in Washington
surely, and so far as l have observed in
the Metropolitan press everywhere, there
has been but little notice of the frauds
indictments, and prosecutions generally
going on throughout the country, except
those relating to pensions. These have
been regularly ground out from day to day
and week to week, as you have doubtless
noticed.
! submit that my plain criticisms along
this line were mild, in view of the above
facts. These figures strike me as remarka-
bic proof Of what ] said this evening about
the frauds, frauds" cry against pensions.
and ! hope these facts will be widely read.
We seek impartial and quick justice in all
pension claims; and we have a right as
veterans to be regarded as saviors of the
Nation, and not as lOoters of its Treasury,
for there would have been no National
destroyed the Union.
The time has come for plain speaking.
in just words, and have full faith in the
loyal-hearted people of our country that
they will see that our moderate and reason
bic requests are granted.
AT any rate, ! pledged the comrades
when elected that would try and make it
a busy year in Grand Army circles, and
that, as a private soldier for two years, |
would do all ! could TO stand by the boys
who marched and fought and laid with
me in the trenches in the great war DAYS.
j shall endeavor to justify these promises.
and call upon every comrade to unite in
aiding me to secure the swift rights of
every needy and worthy applicant for
pension under existing laws. Right wrong
no man or Government, and so let us with
one honest voice make known our righteous
dues. May God bless you all. In F., C.
and l.. Yours faithfully,
ALBERT d. SHAW,
Commander-in-Chief, Grand Army of the
Republic.
