The National tribune., 1903-09-10
now FOR A SOLID FRONT.

We earnestly hope that every veteran
and friend of the veterans in the United
States has carefully read the report of the
National G. A. R. Committee on Pen
sions, and taken its precepts to heart. II
clearly outlines what is necessitated for
| all those who desire to do the greatest
good to the greatest number Of veterans
| and their widows. That is, they must
present solid front in favor of the bill,
which will give S12 per month to every
man who served 80 days during the war
of the rebellion, and was honorably dis
charged, with the same allowance to his
widow.
The time has passed for any differences
of opinion upon what we desire from
Congress and the cou-try. We should
rather say these differences should be put
in allegiance for the time being, and per-
feet unity exhibited. As The National
Tribune has often said, the agitation for
per diem pension; for repeal of the ar
rear clause; for additional bounty; to
make Service Pensions additional to that
now received, and other ideas inherently
more or less just, can be taken up later,
after the passage of the Service Pension
Bill is secured. They will then be in q
good shape for agitation, and nothing
will be lost by temporarily laying them
on the shelf. The need for the passage of
the proposed bill is immediate and urgent,
and supersedes every other consideration.
1t imperatively calls upon us to present
solid front upon this measure. By so
doing we can confidently hope to get it
and give immediate and sorely-needed re-
lief to those long-waited comrades and
their widows. The single fact that 10000
veterans are dying every year, who have
so far been denied pensions, with a SINH
lar awful mortality among their widows,
is sufficient reason for every one who
claims to be friend of the veterans,
dropping every other consideration and
putting his whole strength into something
which promises to end this melancholy
state of affairs, by giving every comrade
and his widow something upon which he
or she can rely for support and comfort
during the few remaining years that may
be vouchsafed to him or to her.
Now We earnestly urge every veteran in
the United States, and every friend of the
veteran, to at once put his best efforts into
doing whatever can be done to insure the
passage of a $12-a-month pension by Con-
gress. Let him see that his Post takes
unanimous action in favor of the bill;
that his Congressman is impressed with
the desire of the comrades for its passage;
that his friends and neighbors are walked
up to the reasonableness and justice of
the bill. Let him see that numerously-
signed petitions are sent to Congress; that
the local press advocates the law. and that
public opinion is shaped in its favor. We
are going to have a severe fight to win,
but we can win if everybody falls into
line. and does what he can to insure sue
cess.
Let everybody at once 60 earnestly to
work.

ENGLAND differs remarkably from the
continental nations in the fact that her
public men will frankly tell the truth
about public affairs. This is rarely heard
from public men OF France or Germany,
and never from those Of Italy and Aus
tria. Just now the Generals are explain
ing in official publications the cause Of the
failures in the Boer War, and Field Mar
shall Lord Roberts says frankly that q
world of blupders were made by every
body, and by none more than by the War
Office itself. There were no proper prep.
arations, and the Beers were underesti.
mated. The geography and extent of the
country were unknown, and there was q
lack Of artillery and mounted infantry
Gen. Butler says that the War Office re
fused to accept his plans, or to give him
definite instructions. Lord Kitchener
dwells upon the lack of qualifications Of
the British officers for the work in hand
and especially the older men, who hat
ideas which they could not get rid of
Lord Wolseley complains of a condition
Of things like that in this country, ant
which it has been attempted to get rid o.
by the General Staff system. The British
Chief was merely a fifth
wheel to the coach, and exercised no rea
command, that being wholly in the hand
Of the Secretary of State for War. Eng
land has learned a great deal by the Boo
War, and it remains to be seen how mucl

WE have heard stories of all sorts of
smuggling but that Of hay is quite new
feature. The duty on hay is 81 bale.
Canadian farmers to get their product into
the New York and Boston markets, where
it will bring from SIT to $40 ton. while
it is worth not more than IS in Canada.
A big business, therefore, has grown up
along the New York and Vermont Dor
ders in running hay through, which the
Treasury officials apparently have not got
on to. The smugglers are paid 81 and s.
a ton for all they can get through.

THE only Past Commanders-in-C Chief at
San Francisco were Comrades Wagner,
Beath, Weissert, Lawler and Torrance.
Past Commander-in-Chief Kountz was
confined to his home by a surgical opera
ton, and received by wire the sympathy
of the Encampment. This is the first
Encanipment that he had missed for many
years, and that fact was a great grief
to him as well as to his friends, who re-
garded him as an almost necessary part
of every Encampment.
The National tribune., 1903-09-10
Encampment Finances.

The Local Executive Committee of the
37th National Encampment, Gen. George
Stone, Chairman, announces that there Is
enough money on hand, together with
that promised by responsible men, to en-.
able the committee to discharge all OBJ
legations. The entire expenses of the En-
campment will approximate $4,000. This
does not include the amounts expended by
the Grand Army Posts of the city and
State. The veterans were lavishly enter
tanned at various places. George III.
Thomas Post expended $1,000 in its en-
tertainment of the comrades. Lincoln
and Garfield and the Loyal Legion also
entertained handsomely. The total fund
available for the Encampment was $55.-
92O.75; Of this the Legislature appro-
priated $4,000. and $30,020.I5 was raised
by subscriptions. Additional subscriptions
are now comm: in.

HAS "Sassiety" in New York to under
60 the same dilution that is characterizing
the business methods of the metropolis:
There comes the rumor that the famous
400 are to be increased to 800, in response
to the strong pressure. This looks like
the introduction of Morgan's methods, and
800 representing the first bonds and mort
gage; LOGO representing the second mort
gage bonds, with 5000 preferred stock,
and $500 common stock.

A closer clasp of warm affection was
her answer.
you can rest assured that man didn't
pick no shabby little runt for a wife," re-
turned Maria. HE took the best he could
find in the market. She must be simply
gorgeous. I'm just dying to see her. And
what must his house be?"
II wonder if Soils married, Si?" asked
Shorty.
Hes said nothing about it; but. then,
you never can tell anything about Sol.
He always breaks out in the spots where
you least expect him. He may have half
a dozen wives, for all we know"
Will" said Maria, in a tone so awful
that it chilled Shorty's blood. Such a
suggestion Of marital infidelity was worse
than blasphemy to her.

Mr.. VANDERBILT has been disillusion-
king the German people as to the muni6-
cence of American millionaires. He either
gives no tips at all, or very small ones. In
time the Germans will learn that the
richer the American is the less prodigal
he is likely to be. 1t is only the man
who can not afford it who gives big tips.

KENTUCKY juries are pretty reliable

the Democratic party. For the third time
they have found Caleb Powers guilty of

politics involved.

WHAT gives most tooth to the bitterness
