of Major Deshon and General Torney,

admitted upon application, and as a
consequence the hospital had to be
greatly enlarged.

rendered special service to the gov
eminent, to this city, and to the SOL

large, brick buildings recently
erected on grounds that have fine
view of the city. which were built for
additional officers quarters, the
wards have also been enlarged and
improves.
The hospital is now equipped with
an electric light plant of its own
water works, which after being
pumped to the reservoir on the noun
tain, flows by gravity through all the
buildings. A crematory has recently
been installed for the burning of all
refuse and garbage.
M III. Jodd was this week awarded
the contract for charging the power

provements contemplated and recon-
mendei by Major Deshon, but have
not yet met the approval of the war
department at Washington.
Only those intimately associated
with Genera Torney know the extent
of what he has accomplished for the
Army and Navy Hospital here and
the fact that his careful administra-
ton of affairs has in large measure
caused the government to give proper
consideration to this, one of its most
important institutions.

FOR THE REAL VETERAN
A Plea for Equal Treatment Regard

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to thank you for a char
Acteristlc act Of courtesy In printing my re-
cent letter Analysing some pension figures
of n Tribune editorial As there was q mis-
understanding about what those figures
were intended TO indicate, my letter in
large degree missed its purpose and I
therefore write again TO make straight
forward appeal to The Tribunes undoubted
desire that the veteran pensioner shall
have a square deal.
BY the veteran pensioner | mean the man
who was an actual soldier in the years
between the firing on Fort Sumter and the
surrender OF Lee And by Il square deal I
mean, first. that the monstrous frauds that

FACILITIES FOR SKATING.

The old proposal to food the Kings
County parade ground for skating pur.
poses has again been brought to the
fore, apparently with some official coun-
tenance. We think that there should be
little chance of its fulflment, for various
reasons. The ground belongs. we believe.
to the county, and Is intended for the use
Of the National Guard. and we doubt #
the transformation of 1t into skating
rink would be lawfully compatible with
that use. 1t Is scarcely possible that
the scheme could be executed 'Tithout
seriously impairing the general utility Of
the ground for drill and parade purposes.
Moreover, those who are familiar with
the quality Of the soil, which is particu-
larry light, sandy and porous, will doubt
the practicability Of making it hold
water.
The lake in Prospect Park, only n
stones throw from the parade ground.
affords a fine area for skating. when the
weather is cold enough TO form thick
Ice and when the park authorities are
energetic enough To clear of the snow.
II Is true that the weather does
not often make thick enough ice, and II
Is probable that on water only few
inches deep, as on the parade ground.
skating might often be practicable when
it was forbidden on the deep water Of
the lake. But even on the shallow rink
skating would be possible only part
Of the time. We are not in subarc-
tic climate In which winter sports can
be enjoyed continuously. and that fact
would add to the folly Of going to great
expense and probably impairing n use
full and valuable property for an enter
prise which might fail altogether and
which could not possibly altogether sue

JUDICIAL SALARIES.

The Judiciary Committee Of the House
of Representatives has reported favor
ably the Moon bill to increase the sala-
ries of the federal judges, BY It's terms
the compensation of the associate
justices of the Supreme Court is raised
from $4,000 to $1,000 and the com
pensation of the Chief Justice from ST.
800 to $17.JOO. The circuit judges, in
Guiding those who sit on the Court or
Commerce, are to receive $500 instead
of $1,000 and the district judges $500
instead Of $4,000. The judges OF the
Court of Customs and Of the Court of
Appeals of the District of Columbia are
ranked with the circuit judges and the
Judges of. the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia with the district
Judges. The increases are moderate and
the bill ought 70 encounter no opposi-
ton in either branch Of Congress.
Two wears ago. when the salary OF the
President was raised from $4,000 10
s75oOO the Senate voted in favor or
more liberal allowances to the judiciary
But the House of Representatives ue-
feated the increase, which was carried
in general appropriation bill. 1t Is
high time to revise the judicial salary
schedule in a spirit Of fairness. Inc
federal courts have a much greater
volume of business to handle than they
had twenty years ago, or even ten years
ago. Legislation is continually extend
ing the scope of litigation and cases are
piling up involving vaster interests ana
requiring the application OF old primer
piles to new situations. 1t Is no eAas'
geration TO say that the federal courts
exercise to-day immensely larger rune
lions and must accept far weightier re.
sponsibilities than at any earlier period
In our history. No work done for tne
government Is as underpaid as that
which the judiciary is doing. The sald-
ries fixed by the Moon bill are far lron
high. They represent the minimum
which the nation should be WILING 70
give to public servants as distinguished
and AS devoted as are the great majority
of the federal judges.
