feet crop of hair grown by the proper
use of Foso which is the best specific
known for all diseases of the scalp.

had. But Foso grew hair for them,
and kept their scalps in perfect condi.
ton, and now they stand ready to rec
ommend it.
The American people on seeing the
actual merit in this valuable article

help us to our success. Each one tell
ing her neighbors of the wonderful
Foso and what it could accomplish has
been our best publicity. After using

ravages have made fearful shrinkages
in this total. About 10000 veterans
have already passed from the roll to
that land where quarterly payments are
unknown. AS these received an aver
age pension of s169.82, we know that
the cost of the bill has been reduced by
this item alone 1896 400. This is only
the beginning. The death rate, from
the very nature of things, must increase
quite rapidly every month, and the
shrinkage be at rate which must soon
overtake any possible increase in the
ratings. There will be also a decrease
in the amount of the first payments and
other shrinkages running up into more
millions. If Congress should at once
take up the consideration of The Ma
tional Tribune pension bill, with the
best intentions of passing it, fully 50,-
900 pensioners would pass away before
the bill, in the ordinary legislative op-
words, if by any good fortune the law
should become operative June 80, 1910
there would be $4,000 fewer veterans
to enjoy its provisions. and 1t would
require $S.000,000 less to meet its pro-
visions. This is without taking into
consideration the other important re-
ductions, amounting to millions, which
we have cited.
We are quite aware OF the low con-
dition of the Treasury and the intense
desire of the President for greater
economy in public expenditures, and
we are as much in sympathy with that
idea as anyone can be, but it must be
said, on the other hand, that much of
the present expenditure by the Govern
ment is for the benefit of future gener-
ations. and future generations should
bear their share of the cost and not
entail 1t all upon the one which does
the work. Many millions of dollars
are being expended in the way of in
vestments with reference to future
benefits, such as the Panama Canal,
the forestry and conservation policies,
the improvement of rivers and harbors
and the erection of adequate public
buildings. These expenditures cannot
be considered as current expenses, but
as investments, part of the cost of which
should be met by future generations.
On the other hand, the pension ex-
penditure is the payment of debt

PIERCEs LETTER TO JEFF DAVIS.

A resolution was introduced in the
last Republican Convention in New
Hampshire asking that legislative ac-
ton be taken toward erecting a monu-
ment to ex-President Franklin Pierce.
Delegate +. H. Buffum, a veteran, op-
posed the resolution, saying that that
resolution would not pass until there
had been a few more funerals and the
Grand Army button had disappeared
Then it might be time to erect a monu-
ment to man who wrote such a
traitorous letter to jeff Davis. Inquiry
is made of The National Tribune as to
what this letter was, and especially the
obnoxious part of it. The letter was
written to Davis under date of Jan. 6,
1860, in which he denounced all those
who were opposed to the extension of
slavery, and said:
'I have never believed that actual
disruption of the Union can occur with
out blood, and if thru the. madness of
Northern Abolitionists that dire calam-
ity must come, the fighting will not be
along Mason and Dixon's line merely.
1t will be within the two classes of citi-
zens to whom I have referred. Those
who defy law and scout constitutional
obligations will, IL we ever reach the
arbitrament of arms, find occupation
enough at home"

DEATH OF GEN. +. A. CARsIAN.

After short illness from pneumonia
Gen. Ezra A. Carman died at his home
in Washington, Saturday morning, Dec
| 25. He was born at Metuchen, n. J.,
and graduated from the Western Mill
tary Institute in 1855, after which he
served as a Professor in the University
Of Nashville for two years. At the out
break of the war he helped organize
the 7th N. j.. of which regiment he
became Lieutenant-Colonel Sept. 10,
1861, and served with it until he was
commissioned as Colonel of the 18th
n. J., July s, 1862. This last regiment
belonged to Williams's Division of the
Twelfth Corps, and went with the rest
of the corps to the West, becoming the
First Division of the Twentieth Corps.
1t took distinguished part in the At
lanta campaign. On the march to the
sea Comrade Carman commanded a
brigade consisting of the I'd Mass, 18th
n. j., 10th and 150th N. Y. and Sd
Wis, and received commentators from
his -superiors as to his efficiency in the
performance of his duty. He was brew
cited a Brigadier-General for gallant
and meritorious service and mustered
out June s, 1865.
After his return from the army Gen.
Carmane was Comptroller of Jersey City
until 1877, when he was appointed Chief
Clerk of the Department of Agricul-
ture. He was retired from this posi-
ton when Cleveland came in, and later
was made a member of the Commits
sion forft the creation of the Antietam
National Military Park. In this posi-
ton his great knowledge of the battle
and of the history of the war was of
signal service, and the park with its
Inscriptions was largely his work. Upon
the death of members of the Chatta-
nooga Military Park Commission he
was put upon that Board, and con-
tinued upon it until his death. He had
a high reputation as an authority on
military subjects. and was in demand
for contributions to cyclopedias and
other authoritative publications. He
wrote 220 articles on the war for the
Encyclopedia Americana.
He leaves widow, three sons and a
daughter. One of his sons. DIR. L. d.
Carman, is a prominent physician of
Washington. The remains were buried
in Arlington, and the honorary pail
bearers were: Gen. George b. Davis, q.

Army; Col John Tweedale, U. s. Army;
Justice Job Barnard. John Joy Edison

DEATH OF SENATOR RAINES.

Senator John Raines, for many years
a prominent member of the New York
Legislature, died at his home in Canaan
daigua. Dec. 16, at the age of g. He
was the son of a Methodist preacher
and bred a lawyer. In the Fall of 1861
he raised a company which entered the
S5th n. Y. He commanded this COM
pany thruout its service in the Army of
the Potomac and North Carolina until
July, 1868, when, his health having
broken down, he resigned and returned
to New York and the practice of the
law. He also entered into politics ac-
lively, was elected to the Assembly and
then State Senator. He was next elect
ed to Congress for two terms, but in
1894 returned to the New York Senate,
in which he served until his death. He
was Chairman of the Committee on
Railroads, in which he did excellent
service. and much of the wise regula-
ton of the New York railroads is to be
credited to him. Since 1902 he had
been President pro tenn of the Senate.
The 34th Separate Company, N. Y. N.
G., was the guard of honor while the
body lay in state, and the funeral ser.
vices were conducted by Albert Murray
Post, of which Senator Raines was a

COST OF THE PENSION BILL.

The strongest opponents of The Ma
tional Tribune will give it credit for al
ways being entirely frank and conceal
ing none of the truth. We have GER
tainly followed this course in giving
our estimate as to the utmost cost of
the proposed pension bill. The figures
we gave would be what the bill would
cost if it had been passed June go,
1909, at the date of the last report Of
the Commissioner of Pensions. We did
this to forestall any criticism that we
were Understanding the comprehen-
siveness of the bill and its burden upon
the Treasury.
Possibly one point that we did not
sufficiently emphasize was the very sig
niffcant one that we have now reached
the end of pension allowances. For
years the opponents of pension legisla-
tion have been able to frighten the
public by an unknown army of por-
tentous size which would swell the
beyond all calculation. 1t
was alleged and accepted by many that
at least 10000 veterans were still off
the pension list, and would come in
upon any liberalization of the laws.
When the laws were liberalized by the
passage of the McCumber act, admit
ting to the pension rolls substantially
every man who had served three
months, been honorably discharged and
arrived at the age of 62 years, the
whole of this unknown army" was
gathered in under the energetic admin

was this done that, as we
pointed out last week, there were, June
30, 1909, only 46,375 cases pending
arising out of the civil war. of these
only 1867 were original cases. The
mere statement of this fact shows that
the limit of original cases ha, been
exhausted. There remains.

always worked faithfully, zealously ard
most judiciously for the interests of the
Order. No comrades have given more
anxious and unselfish service to the
veterans and their dependent ones. The
members are all anxious to give the
veterans and their widows all that can
be possibly got for them, and in the
nature of things they must be the last
judges of the temper of public opinion
and of Congress. and decide what can
be asked for with hope of success and
what cannot. How judiciously they
have discharged this responsible duty
is shown by the bills which have been
enacted into laws. The rules and regu=

rate of fare is concerned. A German
engineer who is chairman of an aero
nautical society proposes to build an

side the crew. To operate this will cost
$4,000 year, or 1875 for each work
