THE ST. LOUIS POSTS.
Ransom and Blair Posts Are Particu.
larIy Energetic I'm Recruiting.

Editor National Tribune: Jasper T.
Darling, in a letter of Nov. 3, writes
that when he comes to st. Louis he Will
surely visit Ransom and Blair Posts:
that now, since his second venture in
matrimony. which indeed requires cour-
age with hopeful anticipations, he is
gradually catching up in his corre-
Spondence. All the boys wish him much
contented happiness. The seven G.. A.
r. Posts of our city. especially the lead
ing ones, Blair and Ransom, are con-
tinually mastering in new and trans
ferred comrades. One of the interest
ing features, as we'll as the social at
traction, is that the leading comrades
like Past Commander-in-ChiefL Leo Ras-
sieur, attends every Post meeting. No
matter how cold, hot or inclement the
weather. he keeps himself young with
his mental and physical industry. Then.
the comrades are always looking for
the bright. leading members, so that
when the Posts adjourn they feel
pleased, and say TO one another: What
fine. interesting meeting We had"
This kind of feeling draws the old boys
to the Post hall. Napoleon said that "a
herd of sheep led by q lion was more
dangerous than lot of lions led by
sheep" Blair Post mustered in on Nov.
. three new recruits.
Department Commander r. NJ Den
ham, with many of the Department Off
GERS, made his visit agreea BILE and en-
tertaining.
AS a matter of course Department
Chaplain Hagerty, who is well
known. was present. Addresses We're
made by Comrades Rassieur, Denham,
Hagerty and Dobine. After a general
Interchange and encouragcmcnts, with
the prospect of more new members at
the next meeting, all departed cheer
fully and cCntented. 1
Ransom Post is still keeping up the
good work of bringing every eligiblei
veteran who does not belong to the Or
der to recognize that it is high time
to know the reason why he is not in
the ranks"
Commander c. r. Reifsnider has a re-
markable record of bringing in 100 new
members during his two years as Com
mander of Ransom. Let other Com
manders show their colOrS and compare
what work they have accomplished. At

on Saturday, Nov. 26, two new re-
cruits were mustered in by the present
Adjutart s. T. Webster, who has no
opposition to succeed Comrade c. X.
Reifsnider as the next Commander.
An interesting address was made by
Capt. Hodges, City Auditor and Record
er of the Loyal Legion, concerning the
last time he saw Gen. Ransom, before
he took typhoid fever at Resaca, Ga,
while Gen. Sherman was present.

Grand Army and Pensions.
(From the Binghamton On. " Re-
publican.)


A sensational arraignment of the G.
A. r. as the head and front of Offend
ing in certain pension abuses appears in
the current number of the Worlds
Work The article is the first of
series planned by the magazine with
the avowed purpose of telling the truth
about this abuse, which has long enough
undermined the character of the Ma
tion," and arousng public conscience
to the need of drastic measures" Two
of its typical fraud cases unearthed 1t
seeks to fasten upon the G. A. r. One
is that of Cunningham, who got into a
New York G. A. X. Post without pos
sessing an honorable discharge from
the army and later drew Federal PEN
sion until his trick was discovered. The
article fails to hint that CunninRhamS
associates liz the g. A. X. would have
been the first to expose him had they
suspected the truth.
Cunningham, il apearS, was at the
front in war days for a long time, altho
he was never an enlisted soldier. His
claim that he did service might be true,
and his Irish name indicates that he'd
get into the scrapping around him some
way but the fact would not entitle him
to membership in the veteran Order
nor to a pension. The hero. John Burns,
who fought all day at Gettysburg with
the 150th Pa, was not an enlisted SOL
der nor was the boy NedRley, VINO
served creditably with a Massachusetts
regiment in that battle. The wolf in
sleeps clothing" is an old offender in
pension matters. Impostors nearly
swamped the Revolutionary rolls a GEN.
tury ago. The G. A. r. harbors fewer
impostors probably than any other in
stitution of its kind. 1t has maintained
n blacklist and often served the pen
sion officials a good turn in tracing the
records of survivors. real and alleged.
The wonder is that more impostors do
not masquerade under G.. A r. colors.
The wide scattering of veterans of the
field at the close of the war naturally
ohliterated traces, and in order to bar
no worthy soldier out of the society its
portals were often not duly guarded.
This was mistake and is pity. and
in view Of the Cunningham incident in
Devin Post, Brooklyn, the G. A. X.
owes it to itself and to its fame as the
most remarkable and one of the noblest
organizations in the world to be jealous
from this time on of the honors and
privileges it bestows in the name OF
Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty.
