In his dignfied task he had the country
with him. From the time that the order
for disbandment was made public the north
had been discussing its own duty to the
returned soldiers. Gradually the people
had made up their minds to certain things:
the soldier must never be allowed to be-
come a pauper. If disabled, he must have
a pension. If he could work. he must do
so. and work must be provided for him
in preference to other men. This was to
be the country's reward to him-to that
he got work, steady work, and at once.
To the carrying out of these principles it
gave its whole mind. The disabled were
already in the care of the pension office.

appropriation for these 5000 pensions
amounted to over ss,O0.GGo. and the Trib-

from the war should have been paid the
amount would be about Sl3.0G0.0O9 annually.
The invalids disposed Of there was a
nice task in finding work for the semi
invalids. From the first the government
departments were looked to as appropriate
places for the returned soldiers. The at

have been enough to GUST a Secretary and
shake the foundations of an adminstra-

Great numbers of half-disabled men
found employments through the bureau
tablshed by the sanitary commission, and
many others worked themselves into
places. Not an unusual advertisement In
the prints of those days was such as the
following, copied from the Tribune:

beginning to the end of disarmament the
great Napoleonic war rule-time Is every
thing-was vigorously enforced.
What followed was even more wonderful
The soldier was at home, and now, ac-
cording to all prophets. the country must
see trouble. AS soon the order to DIS
band the volunteers had gone forth. the
north had begun to ask itself what they
were going to do with the million men
about to inundate them. Those OF the
country who took forethought. who knew
the history of peoples. who had studied the
phenomena of population. looked with fore
boding on the coming deluge. They re-

The governors of many states asked the
War Department for troops TO keep the
disbanded soldiers in order. Yet by No

nothing had happened. The men seemed

Chicago, Ill, Nov. 16.-The railroads

requiring them to handle empty mail
equipment in the mail cars from No

This question arises out of the re
fusal of the government to include
empty mail bags, blank postal cards
and stamped envelopes in the mail dur
ing the recen weighing period, This
reduced the total amount of mail mat
ter 25 per cent, and as the roads are
paid on a basis of weight, it resulted
in a loss to them of between $1O,0 900,
900 and SIS, 900, 900. The action wa.

MARYLAND AT j IA ESTOWN

The people of Mary land have reason
to feel great pride and satisfaction ir
the part that their State has been TAX.
ing in the opening days of the James
town Exposition. 1t is the historic
note that charterizes that Exposition,
and Maryland's participation has been
fully in keeping with that note. The
State building is of beautiful colonial
design, being modelled after house
built by Charles Carrollton of Car
rollton, and the main hall in it is
replica of the Senate chamber in the
State House at Annapolis, in which
Washington resigned his commission
to the Congress of the United States
then assembled IN that chamber. In
this hall have been collected re
markable group of historical docu-
ments and portraits, of great patriotic
and historic interest and among them
included, as Captain Coils. on stated in
his address of presentation to the Gov
ernor, the letter written by General
Washington to the Cover nor OF Mary
land announcing the surrender at
Yorktown. Governor Warfield, in his
speech accepting the building, did well
to recall to memory the remarkable
and pregnant history of the relations
between Maryland and Virginia, and
especially of the transactions between
them at the close of the Revolutionary
War, which may we'll claim to have
been the germ of the Constitution OF
of the United States, and thus to have
been a vital cause of the transforms
ton of mere confederation of States
into national Union. SIch historic
memories are an everything fountain
of true patriotism. The Governor, in
his speech, did not fail to pay grace
tul and we'll deserved tribute to the
ladies to whose energetic and we'll
directed efforts the character of the
Maryland Building, as to its interior
arrangements and it's historic collec,
tions, is mainly due. That Maryland
would show up at jamestown as she
should was to be expected, but it is a
pleasure TO realize that in this case
the expected has happened.-Balti-
