who has always thought that pensions
should be paid to men who had seen
long service, only barring disabilities.
of course; but as the Government has
now become generous enough to in
clude men who have seen short service
among its beneficiaries, why does it
discriminate between those who served
80 days and those who served so or 80
days? The National Tribune will re-
call the perilous days of the Summer
of 1863, when the Government at
Washington was in a state of panic
over Lees invasion of Pennsylvania.
and it's frantic appeal for help. Lees
army at that time had occupied York,
Chambersburg, etc, and was threaten
ing Harrisburg and even Philadelphia
ITSELF 1t will also be recalled how
nobly the National Guard of the State
of Pennsylvania responded to that call
at the most critical time of the war,
when it seemed that they must sacrifice
themselves to forlorn hope. That
their presence had much to do in
checking Lees advance long enough
for the Army of the Potomac to come
up there can be little doubt. Yet these
troops served only 80 days, but the rec
ords will show that during that time
they encountered greater hardships
than did most of the three-months reg
iments that were in camp during the
whole period of their enlistment. L
think the Government has blurdered in
making this discrimination, and 1 be-
| lieye that The National Tribune, the
soldiers friend, will forcibly point out
the error and have it remedied.-Wm.
