There are about 16,000 infirm veterans now in the National Military Home. A Grand Army Fair will be held at Beverly, Mass., April 28. There are 33,196 pensioners in the state of Missouri. The Department Headquarters of the Massachusets 6. A. R. are to be given a place in the State House at Boston. There will be kept relics of the war and the records, histories, etc. April is an anniversary month. It frae in April that the flrst blood of the Revo­ lution was shed.* In April, 1861, the first blood of the War of the Rebellion was shed. In April, 1865, President Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's Theatre, Washington. In April, 1865, Gen. U. S. Grant received the surrender of General Lee at Appomatox. April 6,1866, the Grand Army of the Republic was founded; April 14, 1865 the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States was formed at Philadelphia. ' The Tenth Massachusetts Battery As­ sociation held its annual reunion at Young's Hotel, Boston, Mass., April 7. Who Caa Estimate it Who can estimate the amount of good done to every section of the country bv the f 118,548,959 which was distributed last year in pensions? Undoubtedly this performed the duty ordinarily done by 10 times that amount because it was scattered broadcast in small sums, and reached everybody. It was literally the "nimble penny, which is better than a slow shilling." Not a dol­ lar was hoarded nor suffered to lie idle. Within a month after each quarterly pay­ ment each dollar had done the work of flOO. The pensioner distributed his stipend at once to his neighbors in shape of payments for groceries, clothing, bread and meat, medicines and medical attend­ ance, rent, etc., and the recipients put it into immediate circulation in buying things for themselves or paying their debts, so that before the month was out every dollar had passed through sqores of hands and done good work wherever it went. The same amount of money paid to the bondholders or dumped into Wall street would not have done the country a fractional part of the good. Very few people would have received any benefit from it' The larger part would have lain idle for months, "seeking an invest­ ment." The pension money did not lie i^le a day. Every pensioner had im­ mediate use for every dollar of it, and he put it to that use at once. There was no favoritism about its distribution. It came like a fruitful shower in summer time, which falls equally on the just and the unjust. Tho worst soldier-hater in time got as much benefit from it as the best friend of the veterans, for it was scattered impartially through every community. The moment it was out of the pensioner's hands it went into those of every member ot the community. No better scheme ever was or could be de­ vised for an equitable redistribution of the people's money. It was given, in th^flrst place, to those to whom tbe Government owed a just debt, and they immediately scattered it among the entire people. Much of the present prosperity of the country is undoubtedly due to the equitaple distribution erf this vast sum.-- National Tribune. that no pass could be given to any one out side the military. 'Her grief," said Mr. Kinsley, "was pitiable. She pleaded with Mr. Lincoln to be allowed to go and nurse her boy, till at last the president, every muscle in his rugged face quivering with emotion turned to his desk wrote a few lines handed it to her and said: 'There is your paas; go to Secretary Stanton and get it countersigned. "The woman thankfully received tbe note and withdrew to the Secretary's ! quarters. "After her departure, llr. Lincoln leaned his head upon his hand, and in silence awaited the storm he knew tttould follow, when Stanton had seen what the missive was. He was not kept long in suspense. The door fiew open, and in came Stanton greatly excited. " 'Mr. President,' he said, 'don't yon know that under no circumstance* can a pass be given to a civiliap--why did you give a pass to this woman? "Quick as a flash came the answer: 'Because she don't wear hoops.' Lincoln knew that he should not have given tbe pass, and that against Stanton's anger he could oppose no logical excuse, so he evaded it ».ll with that, irrelevant reply. The Secretary turned and left the room without a word, but the old woman got her pass."--Boston Herald. {.laoeln's Only Season. The late E. W. Kingsley used to relate the following passage of words between President Lincoln and Secretary Stanton which occurred during an interview Mr. Kinsley had with the president in re­ gard to the feeling of Massachusetts on the issuance of the proclamation of emancipation in 1863. While Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Kinsley were talking, a clerk opened the door and said that a woman insisted upon seeing the president. Mr. Lincoln directed that she be admitted. A poor old woman, her clothes clinging to her worn-out frame, and with tears running down her cheeks, entered the room and asked Mr. Lincoln for a pass that she might go to nurse her 4on, who was in afield hospital. The president told her it waa impossible; A recent number of the Alvord (Tex.) Budget, makes a lengthy argu­ ment in behalf of an appropriation of two billion dollars by congress to pay southerners for the slaves emanaipated during the war. However spirited the contests in the primaries and in the conventions, when the nominations are made the republic­ ans of Illinois should stand united and go into the campaign resolved to win a victory over the common enemy. I There was a public demand that the revenues of the nation should be re­ duced so as to prevent the accumulation of v surplus In the national treasury. A republican congress complied with the demand, as has always been done by republican law makers. Many students of political economy who had argued themselves to the very verge of the free trade abyss now cheer­ fully concede their mistake and acknowledge that reciprocity ia tbe cor­ rect principle, and wonder that they did not think it out before. When a man living in Europe is dis­ satisfied with his surroundings he emi­ grates to America. When a man living in the United States is dissatisfied with his surroundings he remains in the country and too often takes revenge upon himself by voting the democratic ticket. Free trade rcas the lever with which many philosophers proposed to pry open the doors of the "markets of the world" to the products of American skill and toil. To-day, after a trial of but a few months, the wiser ones among them, those who stop to think, are satis­ fied that reciprocity will accomplish with little friction what free trade would have rudely undertaken only to fail at the end. The tide of emigration still sets west­ ward from European ports, hundreds of thousands of people annually coming to the United States to make permanent homes, while few if any are leaving America to make homes in the old world. To hear democratic orators talk one would suppose that our people were so dissatisfied that emigration to the United States would cease and all would leave the country who could pos­ sibly raise the money to pay their rail­ road or steamship fare to any other re­ gion. Capital is that which has been done; labor is that which is to be done. , The man who cuts wood must have a saw or ax, which represent capital. The man who digs must have a pick and spade, and they are capital. Labor and capi­ tal must be in accord or the wood will remain uncut and the mine unopened. The purpose 6f the statesman should be to bring and keep the two in harmony, for each is essential to the other. The laborer must keep his capital employed --that is, he must have work for his ax and his spade--or he is losing ground. The capitalist must keep his mill or fac­ tory in motion or he is losing ground, for idleness and rust are a fatal combi­ nation. That system which provides abundant work at wages which allow the earner to not only purchase the actual necessities of life, but also assure him its comforts and the opportunity to educate his children, is the system of the republican party and ought to be sus­ tained by the friends of labor and by the men who are wage earners. ail through the land. > Because New England farms, al­ though near her numerous factories, aie not increasing in value the free trade democrat argues that the factory must be of no advantage to the farm, unmind­ ful of the fact that but for these factories the sterile hillside fields, unable to com­ pete with the fertile prairies of tbe west, would long since have been aban­ doned. The superior home market af­ forded by the factories which line the New England rivers has enabled the thrifty, hard-working farmer to not only maintain his home and farm, but to support the church, and college, and public school, and thus has given to the nation stalwart, intelligent, patriotic, educated sons who have gone out to take leading places ia every commu­ nity of the great northwest--a better, and a far more valuable product to the nation than the finest product of her most prolific loom. Nature has with­ held from New England the richer soil given to the Mississippi valley, and farming has been pursued at a disad­ vantage that only an excellent home market could have overcome. Free trade would have blended her farm and factories in a common ruin, to the detri­ ment of the entire nation. OPEN, TIME.
