Losses Mt Franklin and Gettysburg.

Editor National Tribune: Could you
publish in The National Tribune q short
statement from the official records of
the number of men commanded by
Pickett at Gettysburg and Hood at
Franklin?-John w. Shinik, Camp
Paint, Ill.
The figures asked for by our corre-
spOndent are so uncertain as to be
hardly more than good guesses. The
number of men in Pickett's Division
has been variously stated at from H.
600 to $4,000, and even 10000. His
losses have been much disputed. Some
Of the Confederates have said that two
thirds of Pickett's command were killed
wounded or captured. This has been
again strongly denied, and the Confed-
crate historians have minimized to the
utmost the loss of their army at Gettys-
several thousand III the totals between
the reports of the Union commanders
and those of their opponents. The same
incertitude exists with regard to the
number engaged and the losses at
Franklin. Gen. Hood had probably a.
900 effectives in his army, but how
many he had actually engaged is quite
another matter. He buried 1,750 on the
field. had $500 in hospital, and lost 702
captured, an aggregate of 6,252, exclu-
sive of those who were so slightly
wounded as to be able to keep up with
their command. Gen. Schofield lost 1S8
killed, 1893 wounded and 1,1G4 miss
ing. an aggregate of 2,S26.-Editor Ma

THE MccUMBER nILL.

Senator McCumber. of North Dakota,
Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Pensions, is the author of the following
bill, which has been fayorably reported
is expected that it will promptly pass
the Senate.
Bill granting pensions to certain en-
listed men, soldiers and officers who
served in the war of the rebellion.
Be IT enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled, That
any person who served 80 days or more
in the military or naval service of the
United States during the late war of
the rebellion and who has been honor
ably discharged therefrom, and who has
reached the age of 62 years or over,
shall upon making proof of such facts
according to such rules and regulations
as the Secretary of the Interior may
provide. be placed upon the pension
roll and be entitled to receive a PEN
sion as follows: In case such person
has reached the age of 62 years, s12 per
month; 20 years, SIS per month; 75
years or over, $50 per month"; and such
pension shall commence from the date
of the filing of the application in the
Pension Office after the passage and
approval of this act: Provided, That
pensioners who are 62 years of age or
over and who are now receiving pen
sions under existing laws, or whose
claims are pending in the Pension Of
flee, may, by application to the Com
missioner of Pensions IN such form as
he may prescribe, receive the benefits
of this act; and nothing herein contain
ed shall prevent any pensioner or per-

The independent papers in Mississip-
pi say that the State is simply rotten
with politics and a most disgI acsful
condition of affairs exists. Not only are
the officials generally corrupt. but there
is going on a heated campaign for every
Office from Constable to United States
Senator. which is interrupting indus
trial activity and turning the attention
of the people away from the develop
ment of the State to miserable squab-
bles among office-seekers. The McComb
City Enterprise says too many of us
would rather make a great, big, rich
politician than a great, big. rich State"
The papers demand that the Legislature
stop this dirty wrangling and devote
itself to doing something to improve
the financial condition of the State, and
call attention to it's rich resources, the
possibilities for immigrants and the de-
yelopment of its industries.

Justice Brown laid down an impor-
tant legal principle in the Tobacco
Trust and Paper-Trust cases when he
said: THE individual may stand upon
his rights as citizen, but the corpora
ton is the creature of the State" 1t
Is created to be of benefit TO the public,
and the State has perfect right TO in
quire closely into how well it is serving
the purpose of its creation. No official
can be allowed the plea of self-incrimi-
nation to shield him from testifying as
to the acts of the corporation.
The National tribune., 1906-04-19

Maxim Gorky. the Russian revolu-
ZIONIST and writer, is coming to see Pres
ident Roosevelt to get him to interest
the American people in the Russian
revolutionists. He is upon a fruitless
errand, and if he was more of a man
of the world he would know this to be
so. The American people cannot inter
fere successfully in any Of the political
movements of Russia except to exert
some influence upon the Car and the
bureaucracy to induce a more merciful
treatment of the revolutionists. ReYo-
lutiohs must be conducted by the peo-
lie themselves, and outside interference
is always likely 10 do far more harm
than good. They who would be free,
themselves must strike the blow" This
Is as true of the Russian people as of
any other. They must work out their
own salvation unaided by anything from
outside Russia. The Russians are a
development, with ideas and motives
that the Americans cannot comprehend.
Any advice that would come from this
country would be worse than useless,
because the advice would be such as
would be given to our own people, Eng
lish, Germans or French. and would be
wholly inapplicable to people of a far
lower standard and most crude and in
choate ideas. Let Mr.. Gorky go back
home and employ himself in educating
his own people in primary IDEAS as tn
Government aHi modern sociaiity.

A PHASE OF STATES RIGHTS.

| The old sacred doctrine of States
rights is receiving a terrible twist in
| the consideration of the National Quar-
antine bill. All over the South the peo-
pie are demanding that the Cove n
ment take charge Of the quarantine
and enforce its regulations rigidly The
object of this is not only the p eserya-
! ton of health. but the prevention of
| the fearful Generalization of business
which comes with every invasion of the
yellow fever. The Williams Quarantine
bill is demanded from Charleston to
| New Orleans, and the main opposition
comes from Texas, which at the last
incursion of the pest managed to come
out fairly well by maintenance of q
State quarantine. The Texas politicians
take the old States Rights view of every
State caring for its own citizens and
its own ports, but the other Southern
ers point out that Texas executed her
quarantine law to the advantage of the
business of the State. but to the great
danger of the health of the people not
only of Texas, but of other States. The
State Medical Association of Texas is
and at the last Convention of the As
sociation resolutions were adopted say
ing:
Local control of quarantine gives the
opportunity TO favor commerce at the
risk of public health, say the Texas
physicians through the State Medicai
Association. To secure quarantine that
commands our connden in other
States we must surrender our own.
The very perfection of our
(Texas) Quarantine Department has to
some extent blinded people to the Woe
full lack of attention to internal health
affairs. The proposed bill for Federal
contro will relieve US of an
enorm us expense md lie We our de-
par eAt fre - attend 10 iftesrai
health matters. Texas. as
well as New orl ans, inadequately p o.
tects the health of her people. We have
no homes for oor Goa un ptives, and
no accurate vital statistics to tell how
man. die of infectious and preventab'e
q eases. The Texas me ical
profession ad COATES Federal control of
bo, der quarantine because 1t will bet
ter protect Texas from yellow fever In
asiOn.'
The election of the noisy, cheap JEFF
ferson Davis TO the Senate of the United
States from Arkansas furnishes the text
for the Southern papers to comment
upon the decline of the ability and in
fluence of the South in the Senate. The
old type of strong men from the South,
such as Garland, Hill, Gordon. Beck.
Harris, Lamar, Vance and Ransom. " O
were able to hold their own against ths
best that the North could furnish, has
been replaced by a lot Of obscure men
OF mediocre ability. The only Senators
from the South who are at present hold
ing their own with the North are Till
man, of South Carolina, and Morgan
and Pettus, of Alabama. The rest of
the States have nobodies repr asenting
them in the Upper House, and ths
prestige of their section has been i'm.
measurably damaged.
The National tribune., 1906-04-19

showing total disability to perform
manual labor, we have not attempted
to change the law In that respect. Our
observation justifies us in assuming that
after the lapse of eight additional years,
the pe1sioner will, as rule. have de-
clined in physical or mental ability to
an extent which would require an ad-
ditional sum for his support. And this
presumption will apply with added
force after he shall have attained the
age of rs years.
Your Committee therefore are of the
opinion that the bill should be so
amended that any soldier who has
served for 80 days, has been honorably
discharged and who shall have reached
the age of So years shall receive a PEN
sion of $12 per month, to be increased
to SIS per month when he shall have
reached the age of 20 years, and to $50
per month after he has reached the age
OF IS years.
"The probable number of beneficiaries
under this act and the increase in cost
are shown in the following letter from
the honorable Commissioner of Pen
sions:
Department of the Interior. Bureau
OF Pensions, Washington, March 2S.
1906.
my Dear Senator: I have the honor
to acknowledge receipt of your letter
as to the probable number of beneii-
ciaries and the probable amount of in
crease to the pension roll that would
be caused by the passage of bill grant
ing $12 per month to all soldiers who
served 80 days in the civil war and who
have reached the age of 62 years; to be
increased TO SIS per month when they
have reached the age of 20 years. and
TO $40 per month when they nave
~
The number of civilwar soldiers
on the roll June 80, 1905, receiving less
than So per month on that date, who
will be between the ages of 62 and 20
years on June 80, 1906, is estimated at
14S, 900.
"'Of this number $1,000 are receiv-
ing Sc per month; $500 are receiving
SIS per month and 44,400 are receiving
so per month. The proposed bill
grants them $12 per month, and the
annual increase to these pensioners
would be as follows, viz:
"' $1,000 would receive an
increase of $T2 per
year. or ........ 81, 664 900
"t 900 would receive an in
crease of $4S per
year, or ........ 3,l9b,SOo
as 44,400 would receive an in
crease of $24 per
year or I,t60,eUu
"14S,000
"'Total ................. Sc, 1926, 400
"Of the 100000 civil-war soldiers
pensioned at s12 per month, and the
q 900 who are pensioned at S14 per
month, it is believed that about $4,000
are between 20 and 70 years of age, and
therefore would take SIS under the
bill. OF this number
"4S, 900 would receive an in
crease of $36 per
year, or 81, ,T2S, 900
