TSE KATIOKAX. ENCAaiTMEIfT.
Hoxi week the 22d National Encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic meets
hi Columbus, 0.,and everything points to a
large, exceedingly harmonious and profitable
gathering. Oolumbae is central and easy
i owkbq iv an iiuiuciun uuuiusi vfi icihuus
The region within a day's journey by rail of
the city Ohio, -western Pennsylvania,
southwestern New York, Indiana, Michigan,
West Virginia, Kentucky and Illinois sent
nearly a million men into the Union armj-,
and th survivors of this host who still xo
side at their old homes, will make an im
mense concourse. They will all want to
come to greet comrades whom Ihoy perhaps
have not met since the war, and the rail
reads have made the fares so cheap that the
expense is small. The preparations at Co
lumbus for their entertainment are ample
Ohio never does anything by halves and
the meeting will be one which will iiil the
hearts of all present with lasting joy.
There is every reason why this shall be so.
The veterans were never so united in frater
nity as now. Each year that has elapsed since
thewarhasdrawnihemcloeertogether. They
appreciate now much more than ever the
value of each other's heroism, sacrifices and
services. IVherever they go they see the
glorious results they suffered and fought
for years ago. The entire people honor
them, as never before, for what they dared,
endured, accomplished. The more the his
tory of the war is studied the greater is
their fame, for never did men fight so heroic
ally or suffer so resolutely. As each year
passes the veterans feel the more strongly
that there are no 'friends like those who
stood shoulder to shoulder with them on
the dread field of battle, and they lean more
and more upon each other.
The coming Encampment will be very har
monious. No jealousies, schisms or disputes
will disturb its fraternal spirit The only
questions will be what is best for the veter
ans indi vid ually and for the Order as a whole,
and these will be discussed and decided in
a lofty spirit of true comradeship by as able
men and as true soldiers as the country
boasts of. The 21st Encampment was dis
tinguished by the great number of able and
eminent men composing it, and the coming
one will lie even more remarkable in this
respect. It will be made up of men from
every walk of life, but who have no supe
riors anywhere in natural ability and ac
quirements, in exalted patriotism and devo
tion to the best interests of their comrades
and fellow-men.
In one respect the Encampment must
stand out in grand loneliness from any other
great gathering which the country sees.
That is the supreme unselfishness of the
men wb compose it. In every other gather
ing no matter whether political, reiigidus,
commercial or otherwise the desire for self
advancement must necessarily be a strong
Animus ia the minds of the leaders. Not so
with the comrades composing the National
Encampment. The G.AJL has no lucrative
offices and few honors to bestow. The men
who d its work do it for a pure unselfish
love for their comrades, and for the honor
and glory of Patriotism and Country.
"Wc are sanguine that the work of the En
campment will hg in the highest degree pro
motive of Ute best interests of the Order, and
that the great cause of Fraternity, Charity
and Loyalty will be advanced to a much
higher plane than ever.
So mote it be.
OUR VAEXn IK COI- 3U3SOX.
Perhaps it is not worth while to speak of
so weak and poor a thing as our once robust
fiuth in Col. Matson liac become.
Perhaps it is not good taste to direct at
tention to the frailty and dilapidation of a
thing that a lew months ago was glorious in
its strength and beauty.
Perhaps on the other hand it may teach a
useful lesson in showing the vanity of
earthly thing the danger of trusting poli
ticians, who, verily, are born of worldly am
bition, are of few days and full of deceit.
Yet, amid the sackcloth and ashes in
which we now. sit, mourning our dying faith
in the Chairman of the Committee on Invalid
Pensions, we turn back a long, loving look
apon tot beautiful and stalwart proportions
Xo longer age than last Christmas, how
buoyant, how perfect, how satisfying and
joy-giving it was then.
" Truly, we said unto ourselves, "sorrow
may endure for a night, but joy cometh with
the morning. That morning is now come
ibr the veterans. Here is the man who
strove valiantly for their rights in the last
Congress, and to him has been given the
power necessary to do Jbr them all that they
would have done. All pension legislation is
in the hollow of his Itaml. He can have
everything just as he wants it. "VTliat he
desires made into law will be enacted forth
with, without a doubt or peradventure. He
has been reappointed Chairman of the Com-
Invalid Pension; a majority of
the House are pledged friends of the vet-
terans, and stand ready to vote for whatever
be will advise; they will do it almost with
out discussiou. The Speaker of the House
is his friend, and will recognise him any
day Uiat he asks it The Senate is equally
ready to pass any reasonable measure, and
only waits the word. The pension measure
have been so fully canvassed in tho past that
everybody understands all about them with
out further talking; no one is better settled
in bis own mind on the subject than he, and
before the full inoon of the 2? ew Year wanes
to a crescent he will put a bill through
which will carry Content and .Toy to thou
sands of homos where pinching Want now
reigns."
Thus, out of the fullness of our heart
did our mouth speak. But, faith, tho Apos
tle James tells us, without works is dead,
and the persistent and unaccountable re
fusal of Col. Mntsoa to perform works which
would justify that faith, has in time dead
ened as beauteous and strong a faith as one
man ever felt for another.
.TIIE DISABILITY TENSION IJILX..
Even at this late date and after all the
voluminous talk there has been about the
Disability Pension Bill, there is much mis
conception of its scope and undor-catimatiou
of the benefits that would flow from its
passage It is one of the very wisest and
most effective pension laws ever framed, and
if the G.A.R. National Pension Committee
had never done anything else to merit the
lasting gratitude of the comrades this would
have been ample.
Let us once more examine clause by
clause the bill as prepared by the com
mittee and presented to Congress. Thafirst
clause reads as follows:
That in considering the pension claims of de
pendent parents, the fact and cause of death, and
the fact that the soldier left no widow or minor
child or children, having hecu thovn as required
by law, it shall be necessury only to show by com
petent and sufficient evidence thnt such parent or
parents are, or have been, without other means of
support than their own manual labor or the contri
butions of others not legally bound for their sup
port: Provided, That all pensions allowed under
this section of this act shall commence from date of
actual dependence, if claim was filed prior to July
1, 1SS0, and in case of applications thereafter made,
the pension thai! commence from the date of the
filing of the application in the Pension Office, or
from dale of subsequent dependence.
This is so plain and obvious justice that
it needs only to be read to receive unquali
fied indorsement by every soldier. "We do
not believe that from Maine to California
there is, a single veteran or friend of veter
ans who does not heartily approve of the
principles formulated in it. It would at
once put on the roil and rawe from grinding
want to comparative comfort more than
20,000 fathers and mothers who sacrificed
the mainstays and props of their declining
years on the altar of their imperiled coun
try. Under the existing laws the mother of a
son killed in the "Wilderness cannot get a
pension if his father was at that time capa
ble of supporting her, though he may have
died a month later and left her to struggle
with poverty ever since. To get a pension
the mother must have been dependent the
very day the soldier was killed. The tr.A.E,
bill comes in and grants a pension from the
very dale of dependence, for the reason that
had the soldier lived he would have sup
ported his mother. The soldier having given
his life for his country, certainly the country
should take care of his mother according to
its agreement when he enlisted.
The second clause reads as follows :
Sc. 2. That all persons who served three months
or more iu the military or naval jserviee of the
United Stales during t!ie late war of the rebellion,
and who have been honorably discharged there
front, and who are now or who may hereafter be
suffering from mental or physical disability, not
the result of their own vicious habits, which totally
ineapACitales them for the performance of manual
labor, shall, upon making due proof of the fact ac
cording to such ruled and regulations as the Secre
tary of tiie Interior may provide, be placed upon
the list of invalid pensioners of the United Slates,
and lie entitled to receive $12 per mouth; and nuch
pension shall commence from the dale of the filing
of the application in the Pension Office, after the
parage of this act, upon proof thnt the disability
then existed, and shull continue during the exist
ence of the same ia the degree herein siHicified.
Provided, That persons who are now receiving
pensions under existing laws, or whose claims arc
pending in the Pension Office, may, by application
to the Commissioner of Pensions, in such form as
he may prescribe, receive the benefits of this act;
and nothing herein contained shall be so construed
as to prevent any pensioner thereunder from prose
cuting his claim nnd receiving his pension under
any other general or?pecici act: Provided, however,
That no person shall receive more tlian one pen
sion for the same period: And provided further.
That rank in the service shall not be considered in
applications filed thereunder.
Here is a provision that the more it is con
sidered the more highly it commends itself
to every friend of the veteran. It would do,
iu the simplest, quickest and most effective
way what the soldiers' best friends would
have done. Nothing can exceed its plain,
practical method of rendering justice. It
has no quibbles, no subterfuges, no evasive
technicalities behind which the deserving
veteran can be cheated of his due. It has
but three requirements or conditions :
1. That the man shall have served the
Government three mouths.
2. That he shall have been honorably dis
charged. 3. That he is now disabled.
That is all. Could anything be simpler or
more effective?
All the circumlocution machinery, all the
vexatious obstacles, all the ingeniously
devised entanglements which the present
pension laws erect against the claimant arc
swept away at one blow. All that would be
necessary would be for the claimant to be
identified and to show by the records of
the "War Department that . he served at
least three monthB and wa3 honorably
discharged, and to show by satisfactory evi
dence that he is disabled.
These facts being thus demonstrated, he
would le at once entitled to a pension of
$12 a month, which could not be denied him,
nor its giving be delayed. The rate of pension
is higher than that proposed in any other
general pension bill, except The National
Tribune Pension Bill. Its immediate
result would be to put on the pension rolls
from 25,000 to 30,000 men who should be
there, but cannot get on them for lack of
evidence. It would raise a great many of
the pensioners, who are now on the rolls at
less than $12 a month to that figure. Thus,
altogether, it would be an immediate and
vast help to at least 30,000 veterans.
The third section reads:
Sec. 8. That if any in valid pensioner has died, or
shall hereafter die, leaving u widow, minor child
or children undei 18 years of flgc, or in cae there
be no widow, or minor child or children, a depend
ent njother or father, such widow, minor child or
children, or mother, or father, shall be placed upon
the pension-roll at the rate established by law for
widows, minor children nnd parents, without regard
to the cause of death of such pensioner: Provided,
That tho cause of death of such pensioner was not
or id not duo to n violation of civil or military laws,
or the reaultof vicious habits: Andprovided further,
Thntsnld widow was married to the deceased pen
sioner prior to the passage of this not. That the
increase of pensions for minor children shall he at
the rale of SB per month instead of S2 per mouth,
as now provided by Inw, and in case a minor child
is in.sinc, idiotic or otherwise helpless, tho pension
shall continue during tho life of fcnid child, or dur
ing the period of such disability.
No soldier can have anything but praise
for this clause. It would do what is "pre
eminently right give the widow of the pen
sioner a pension at once without any delay,
doubt or expensive processes. It also raises
the pensions of minor orphans from 2 to $5
"per month, another act of justice which will
fiud"a warm approval in the heart of every
veteran. It is estimated that at least 30,000
widows and 20,000 orphans would be bene
fited by this clause.
The fourth section prescribes a fee for pen
sion attorneys and severe punishment for
those who charge or receive more, and tho
last section is a formal one repealing all acts
and parts of acts inconsistent with, this one.
The only objection that has been urged
by veterans against the G.A.R. Committee's
bill is that it does not go far enough nor
help enough people. Tho figures we have
given and they are under rather than over
the mark show what a misconception this
is. A bill which would distribute $12,240,
000 a year among 85,000 of our most meri
torious and needy comrades and their wid
ows and dependent ones give 3G a year
extra to 20,000 orphans," making 720,000
per annum, or a total of $13,000,000 is cer
tainly a grand step toward a universal pen
sion and the granting of long-delayed justice
to all soldiers.
Tho most of tho objections that have been
made to this bill have been by those who
could not have read or understood it, and
have been aimed wholly at the second sec
tion. We have yet to hear of any objections
to the first and third sections. No objec
tion to these has or can be made.
To the few who find fault with the sec
ond section, the great benefits conferred by
the first and third sections should be suffi
cient to make them waive these and unite
with the rest of the comrades in a unani
mous support of the entire bill. By doing
so they are doing the most effective work
in hurrying forward the passage of a uni
versal service-pension bUl.
WIIX IT BE STOPT?
An earnest effort is being made at last to
have Congress investigate the peculiar finan
ciering in the Treasury Department, on
which The National Tribune has been
commenting for the past six months. This
is the loaning of the people's money, with
out interest, to certain favored bankers to
loan out again -at high raises of interest to
the people. Undoubtedly, when the people
come to thoroughly understand the practice
there will be a storm which will make
somebody very repentant. The whole his
tory of our National finances shows nothing
so entirely indefensible. A shrewd banker
has, let us saj', in 18G4, invested some of his
great gains, which came so easily to those
who staid at home during the war
and trafficked, in United- States bonds,
lie bought 1100,000 worth of these
for currency. This currency was worth
then, say, 40 cents on the dollar, making his
actual investment on agold basis $40,000. He
got G.per cent, in gold interest on the $100,
000, or over 15 per cent, per annum on the
uold value of his original investment. In
seven years the whole value of his first pay
ment was paid back to him, but his interest
went on.
Subsequently he exchanges his G per cent,
bonds for 4 per cents, running 30 years longer.
He is only getting $4,000 a year now on his
original investment of $40,000, but this is
still about 10 per cent. Then the Secretary
of the Treasury gets up another scheme to
swell his income. lie "allows him to bring
his bonds back to the Treasury and deposit
them, and tret a loan without interest of
$110,000 of currency, the people's money.
This the shrewd banker immediately loans
out to farmers in Kansas, Iowa or
elsewhere, and ho certainly does not let
them have it for less than G per cent. That
is, $6,G00 a year, making his total incomo
from his original investment of $40,000,
$10,GOOa year, while the bonds have been
enhanced in valuo to $123,000.
Looked at in a cold-blooded, practical
business way, it is incredible that this
should really be done by the custodian of
the people's finances. What would be
thought of the manager of a corporation or
company who would lend out the funds in
trusted to his keeping to his friends, to bank
upon and make money with? Yet that
would not be so bad as the Secretary of the
Treasury's giving certain favored banks tens
of millions of the people's money,rce of in
terest, to make money for themselves. Tho
report for the 1st of September shows that
there was $54,305,100 so deposited at that
date. This is somewhat less than the aver
age for the past eight months, which
has been in the neighborhood of $G0,
000,000. If the bankers have been lend
ing this money at thq ruling rate of 6 per
cent, per annum and 'they probably have,
they are realizing about $300,000 a year
out of tho free use of the people's money
enough to put 23,G14 disabled veterans on
the pension rolls at $12 a month.
In addition to this we arepayiug interest
on the bonds that that $(50,000,000 should
have bought up and canceled.
But it is the old story : lavish millions for
the money-lenders; T)inehiiig, stingy, doling
of nennics to the soldiers.
Some of the English- papers liken Gen.
Sheridan to the Archduko -Charles, whom
Napoleon pronounced the ablest antagonist
he ever encouutered. There is one impor
tant difference, however: tho Archduko
Charles was frequently defeated, while no
body was over able to teach Sheridan tho
meanyig of the word.

CAIX A HAT A IIAT.
The New York Sun, a well-known Demo
cratic newspaper, has an editorial in a recent
issue calling upon Sir. Mills to avoid bun
combe on tho stump, and denouncing his
hedging on the free-trade tendency of his
bill as " humbug." Mr. Dana closes a half
column double-leaded brevier lecture with
the following plump dogma :
Mr. Mills's policy will make this country a free
trade land within 20 years. Let him either tell the
truth or leave the stump.
If this is what the Mills bill is leading to
it is interesting in the same connection to
read the vivid rncture 0f what happens to
people living under such a system, as told
by Dr. Edward McGlynn in the courso of an
address last week.
Said the eloquent priest :
Though England is a very wealthy country, yet
a large portion of its people are reduced to a most
horrid poverty. Commodities are cheap, but man
hood, human flesh and blood, are cheaper still.
Applause. What good does it do a man to know,
while he is starving, that commodities are cheap?
A mnn is starving for the want of money to buy
bread. A free-truder comes along ami says : ' My
dear sir, you are living iu the happiest country in
the world." "Happy country! accursed coun
try ! " "My dear sir, you are no patriot." " I am
starving, my children are starving." " But you
are an Englishman; the wealth of England has
enormously increased in your time; do you foci no
patriotic pride in the fact that ifc is your country?
Commodities are cheaper; I can demonstrate to
you, sir, in an hour's time by a logical argument
that free trade has made commodities cheaper in
England." " Cut I am afraid that I shall bo dead
in nn hour's time; won't you give me bread?"
" "Why, my dear sir, it is the easiest thing in tho
world to get bread ; Ijread never was -cheaper in
England than it is to-day." " I don't care whether
it is cheaper or not, I nave nothing wherewith to
buy it. I would be better off if bread cost a pound
u loaf and I had a few pounds wherewith to buy

The coming Encampment will terminate
the official career of Commander-in-Chief
John P. Kea, but will not lessen the esteem
in which the hundreds of thousands of com
rades have learned to hold him. His ad
ministration of his high office has been what
his ardent supporters predicted it would be
when they urged hi3 election dignified,
safe, conservative and efficient. "With an ex
cellent military record, a fine scholar, a
strong thinker, and a captivating, popular
orator he has produced the be3t impression
wherever he went, and strengthened the
Order in the affection and confidence of the
people.
No mistakes have been mnde at National
Headquarters, no unwise steps have been
allowed to be taken anywhere, and the Order
has grown from one end of the land to the
other. Every Post and every Department
reports marked increase in membership and
oven a still more marked increase in fra
ternalspirit and interest. The year that
Comrade Rea has presided over the destinies
of the Order has been' one of the most satis
factory in its history, and this is honor
enough for any man.

"We trust that the coming Encampment
will properly recognize the services of Adj't
Gen. Daniel Fish, and we have no doubt
that.it will. Comrade Fish has been the
right man in the right place in the Adju-jutant-General's
Office, and has discharged
its multifarious and exacting duties with
marked ability. He is a genuine comrade,
and has devoted himself to hi3 work with
enthusiasm and intelligence.

Thb British aristocracy has gained an
other foothold in this country. An English
syndicate, with 5,000,000 of capital, has
bought up a number of New York brewer
ies. This is a more serious invasion than
the importation of any number of "noble
families." The brewers are the real aristo

more wealth and power thau most of the
titled families. The whole land pays him
tribute, and politically he is mighty. The

our saloon-keepers, and they hold, the con
servative, or Tory party in their hands. In
turn, tho " licensed victuallers " are in the
grasp of the brewers. The returns show
that the drinking places in England are
mortgaged to the brewers for fully three
fourths of their value. They are as thor
oughly the retainers, and dependents of the
brewers, as the serfs were of the old feudal
lords, and the brewers use them unscrupu
lously in politics. It is for this reason that
so many brewers aro knighted, at the hauds
of the Queen. Socially, the brewers rate
very high. Brewing and banking are the
two branches of "trade" that "a gentle
man " can engage in w ithont loss of caste.
