Con frecuencia sc ve los perros

de dolor de muelas, enfermedad de

about his coffin was the Flag of q united

Il believe there is not a Senator on

me that the, difference between the
States is represented in those two
graves where tiIs father and the son
were buried.J and where the friends
gathered about Those two graves in that
country churchyard. each having died
believing that he was right.
Il believes that my friends on the
other side agree that this bill is a prop
er measure to be- passed. Now. let us
pass 1t; let us get results. and let US
bury the past, as the father and son
were buried in the country churchyard
of West Virginia"
Senator Patterson asked for explana-
ton of clause to the effect that no
person who is now or shall hereafter
receive greater pension shall be PEN
Cumber explained that II man was
drawing a higher pension under some
other act he would continue to receive
it, but if he was pensioned at lower
rate he would receive under this act a
pension proper to his age. The Senator
went on to argue that the proper his
torical designation of the war should
be ''the war of secession" because the
States had contended for their right to
secede. While it was in the nature of
a rebellion and also of civil war in its
broadest sense it was a war of seces-
sion.
The bill was reported to the Senate
as amended, ordered engrossed for a
third reading, read the third time and
passed, and the title was amended so
as to read, "a Bill Granting Pensions
to Certain Enlisted Men, Soldiers and
Officers who Served in the Civil War
and in the War with Mexico"

line officers were. In other words
Surgeons were to be called Assistant
Surgeons, Passed Assistant Surgeons
| Surgeons, Medical Inspectors and Med
| ical Directors. Paymasters were to be
Assistant Paymasters, Passed Assistan,
Paymasters, Paymasters, Pay-Inspec-
tor and Pay-Directors. The Construc-
tors were to have similar grades, with
similar designations. The Medical Di-
rector was to have the rank of Cap
tain, the Inspector that of Commander,
Surgeons that Of Lieutenant Com
mander. Passed Assistant Surgeons
that of Lieutenant, Senior grade, and
Assistant Surgeons O: Lieutenant.
Junior grade The experiment Of as
signing the line officers to engineer
duty does not seem to have worked
well, as the fearful accident to a war
vessel in Santiago Harbor few years
ago illustrated.
The present fight is the claim of the
staff officers that they shall be ad-
dressed according to their rank pre-
eisely as the staff officers in the Army
are. A Lieutenant who goes on the
staff of a General is entitled to be ad-
dressed as Major or Colonel, accord
Ing to the rank Of the General, and
they claim that they are entitled to
precisely the same treatment in the
Navy, and that when Surgeon, Con-
structor, Paymaster or Engineer
reaches the rank of Admiral, his letters,
communications, etc, should recognize
his rank as such, and so on down thru
the list.
The National Tribune rather sympa-
thizes with the staff officers in this re-
spect. It has little respect for the pre-
lenses Of superiority by the line Off
GERS, and Furthermore these men have
got their titles into such an unreasoning
hodge-pOdge that they are entitled to
little sympathy anyway. It Is absurd
for them to have a Lieutenant Of a
Junior grade and a Lieutenant of
Admirals. and parade around with the
European Admirals, they abolished the
good old American title Of Commodore,
which American sailors had made
really title of the highest honor. At
present instead of a Commodore, which
would mean something and which
would hark the mind back to the ex-
ploits of Commodores Porter, Balm
bridge. Hull, Perry. Farragut and
Dewey. there are IS Adrnirals, nine of
the grade of Major General of the
Army and nine of Brigadier General,
which is an absurdity that seems in
credible for sensible men. II the naval
officers will adopt some regular, sensi-
BILE system Of titles, restoring the old
designations which the American Navy
has made so honorable, The National
Tribune will have active sympathy
with their efforts to pass a personnel
hill
The National tribune., 1907-01-17

What this country needs, and needs
worse than anything else, is more re-
1igion. Any kind, Presbyterian, Metho-
dist, Baptist, Episcopal, Roman
Catholic, Greek Catholic is in
finitely better than none. Religion
will not make any thoroly bad
man a good one, but it will at least
curb his badness, and it will bring back
those who are tempted to stray across
the line Religion is the best expedient
yet devised for making men honest in
heart and act. Even Mahometanism is
inculcates honesty and justice and
truth, which are the main things in
life
