Memorial Day, and Pensions.

The two questions of chief interest
before the Grand Army encampment at
Chicago were in relation to pensions
and Memorial day. Each Of these was
considered in temperate and thought
full manner by Commander-in-C Chief
Shaw in his annual address. He de-
plored unjust attacks on the pension
bureau by applicants under the belief
That their claims are not treated in a
liberal and just way under the present
administration of the pension laws"
and he held that the trouble was not in
officials but in the system. This state
ment of opinion should have the effect
| of checking attacks on Pension Com.
missioner Evans. He has been accused
OF delaying cases and of constituting
the pension laws in an illiberal spirit
His reply has been that he does not
make the laws, and that it is his duty to
administer them as he finds them. The
commander-in-chief says it is not so
much question of officials as it is of a
proper Judicial system III the execution
OF the pension laws. Hence he urges the
creation of pension court of appeals
according to the provisions of bill in
trouuced in the last session of Congress
and now pending. This. he thinks.

ton of General Shaw in regard to the
pension court of appeals was approved
by the convention. but not so his recon-
mendation that the date of Memorial
day should be changed to the last Sun
day OF May. This change, which was
first suggested at the encampment two
years ago, was advocated by the com
| mander with earnestness, on the ground
OF the growing tendency to pervert the
day from its original purpose and make
1t an occasion for games and sports.
The encampment, however, was of
another mind and declined to adopt the
recommendation. Sooner or later, per

a dollar and a half per week in every
county: that the law allowing certain
per cent. of liquor fines to be used for
furnishing a law library should be abol-
ished; and that salaries of clerks Of

mendations. The commissioners of
