Failed to Pass.
IT. was sent out in the newspaper
aispatches that the Grand Army Ell
campment in this city week before
last adopted resolutions defining n
fair construction of the law of mar
rage relation to pensions and re-
specting service pensions. 1t devel-
ops that resolutions on neither of
these subjects were adopted, though
resolutions on those subjects were
introduced. The facts of the mat
ter will be set forth in the coming
report OF the adiutant general, but
# will not reach the soldiers and the
people of the state for several weeks,
The following We're the resolutions
which were introduced but which
failed to pass:
.'That a fair construction of the law of
marriage Is carried out when II appears
that at the time Of the death of any soldier
of the war of 1876 the wife publicly and
general recognized by such veteran in the
community in which he lived at the time
of his death be recommended to the peusfon
department az sufficient evidence of the
marriage.
THAT the department endorse the enact
ment of law giving all honorably dis
charged soldiers a graded pension, COM
mrncing at the age of IS years and increas-
ing from time to time"
An effort was made in the encamp-
ment to locate the fuenre encamp-
ments of the order at Des Moines
permanently. The proposition was
discussed at length, but was not
adopted. A proposition was made
also to abandon the annual parades
This did not meet with much favor,
although a great many of the vet
Grams were unable to march in the
parade in Des Moines. While FULLY
5000 soldiers were present and at
tended the sessions OF the encamp
ment, not to exceed 1900 marched in
the line. However, when it was pro-
posed III the meeting to abolish the
parade as an annual feature, there
was an almost unanimous protest
against 1t. 1T was said that an en-
campment without parade would be
like Il band without a drum.
