The Thinning Ranks.

Only a small number Of old soldiers
marched in the parade of the Society
Of the Army Of West Virginia yester
day Twenty years ago, when this or
ganlzatton last ment in Wheeling, the
men in line were numbered by the
thousand. But the men who were
strong and vigorous then, are nov
weak and feeble. Many of them have
gone to answer to the last great roll
call; many more are too weak to
leave their homes and submit them
selves to the fatigue Of a journey,
even to meet their comrades. The
thinning ranks of tn veterans i'm
press US with the fact that of the great
armies that continued in battle from
1861 to 1865, only a small minority are
now left, and each year their number
rapidly diminishes.
The present generation owes to
d I'd ID.
these men a debt Of boundless graft
tude. 1t is repaylng it, as a rich and
happy people should. BY the bounty
Of the national government, no old
soldier need want or eat the bread Of
charity. 1t is a pleasure, too, to re-
call the fact that an old soldier, now
representing the State Of West Vir'
glnla in the U. s. Senate, was one Of
the most influential in securing the
passage of the service pension BILL
that rendered this measure of Justice
to the soldiers of erepublic.-Wheel.

.tirely different. In the case Of the

managing their own atfaIrs, engaged
IN the Development Of the State, and
are Republicans. In the last party
fight they honestly took the position
they thought right and no one blamed
them.
After the convention they supported

course with regard to the Mail and

In the Dispatch.News stockholders
are largely people who are not free
agents either with respect to their
stock in the paper or the ticket they
vote.
If we are correctly informed they
are principally agents or employees, in
one way and another, Of those very
corporations that held the State Of
West Virginia by the throat so long
and until shaken loose by the Repub-
,lican party under the leadership of
Governors White and Dawson.
They are not engaged in managing
