BENNETT. " PmipMtlw LeglelatiM. Tlier« wm a time when the pros­ pects for tlie of tlie Arrears of Penstans bill looked very black indeed, and pven after It became a law there was reason to fear it wonld not be al­ lowed |r> stand. Tliie .fnstiue which It rendered to so many thousands of our brave defenders was Jong delayed, and there wore those who despaired of ever receiving It, but it came--it came at last ! The great heart of thlij Na­ tion beat responsive to the appeals of our I'mrequlted heroes, and a ery weiit up to Congress that it did ii^t dare to ignore. It Is said that repuuiics are ungrateful. Whether this he so or not the people of this Republic iiatl not forgotten what they owed to the men who preserved it from destruction, and thev sustained and encouraged <?ur ex-soldiers during the long period of anxious waiting whioli preceded the recognition of their claius by Con­ gress. What the sentiment of the country was then it is to-day. Al­ though more than twenty vetrs have passed away since the reverberation of tlie camion came rolling over the Vir­ ginia hill«, the sound of the cannonad­ ing is still ringing in our ears and the cjieers still go up I'rom the multitude when tlie Grand Army uniform Is seen upon the st reets. The Nation remem­ bers though the politician forgets. If then, any of our comrades are inclined to he despondent and despu ir of ob­ taining tlie full measure of what is still due them from tlie *Oovernmeitt, let thenf^look back over the history of the past few years and consider how many obstacles they have already over­ come and liow bright in comparison with the past the present jfrospect Is. When tlie first great pension^ measures were introduced into "Congress the Government was burdened with an enormous public debt aud a depreciat­ ed paper currency. The road to the redemption of speole payments was devious and difficult and tlie claims of the soldier were of necessity thrust aside to make room for those of the bond-holder. When I%residont Grant vetoed the Equalization of Bounties hill, he gave as his reason the poverty of-the public treasury, and our ex-sol <lierft->ta th«I» »»I* l fattowad by C LAAHUU MOM1!. )!*!. •L-nmik, tin' that veto, bore it uncomplainingly, es teeming It an honor to make a fresh sacrifice for their country. How changed is the financial condition of the country lo-dajr! 3<jld and silver have replaced the government prom­ ises to pay, the public debt lias been reduced to a point where It can be brought but little lower until its last issues of bonds mature, and the annual surplus of receipts over expenditures is so large that many of our Congress­ men are for abolishing internal rev­ enue taxes entirely! The,.poverty of the Government can irf> longer be urged as an excuse for refusing to rec­ ognize the claims of the soldier, and now. if ever. U the time for him to se­ cure that recognition. There is one claim above all others tl^at should be pressed upon the attention of Congress and that is the claim ,of our ex-soN diers to au equalization of bounty. The justice of this slaiiu cannot suc­ cessfully be disputed. It lias repeat­ edly heen affirmed by the Senate and House of Representatives, and the fact that its settlement has been so long delayed is but an additional rea­ son for prompt action now. Moreover, tlie principle involved, like that in the Arrears of Pensions act, i« one that must commend Itself to the general public without distinction of party. It is easily understood and the com­ mon sense of the masses is sure, to en­ dorse the equity of the proposition. Opposition 5s, of course, to be expect­ ed from the class of newspapers and politicians tha,t obstructed the passage of the Arrears of Pensions bill, and our veterans must Oe prepared to meet it. It is not always sufficient t» have right on -one's side. Organisa­ tion is also necessary. .There must be a movement along the whole line. The fif?t thing to do .is to re awaken the interest of our comrades generally in the measure. According to tlie last census the survivors of the Union annv number upwards ot a million and a half, and of these, nearly, if i;ot. quite, oue hundred thousand are mem­ bers of the Grand Army. We ought to have their united aid in this under­ taking, and with it, success is certain. Organization Is everything. The pow- et of our soldier element lias not been felt in the past because it lias not been united in tlie effort to secure the de­ sired legislation. Our comrades have not concentrated tjTeir strengtli as they should have done. They have divided it among various projects. That Is not the way to. accomplish great re­ sults. Out of the multitude of pension hills whioh are introduced at each, ses­ sion of Con«rress. for Instance, but a comparatively small number nre ever acted upon. They are taken up. and, after being fliccussed In A desultory way. are allowed to lie over for future consideration. which Is usually the last heard of them. Often a bill passes the one house too late to .be acted upon In time spent In ]lhe other, and the Its discission 's thn* too. that tlie tiine which should be de voted to the consideration of pension bills of general Importance Isoonsumed by debate on those of pertoqsl interest •*ty. All this should be changed. If our ex-soldiers would unite lit advocat­ ing the passage of a very few meas­ ures of the highest Importance, at each session, they would be much more likely to accomplish something. v.---'• From the Marengo Republics*.

Tlie response was prompt and liberal.

When tlie rush to the rear began he ran with the rest. He was fat, and as the crowd gradually swept past him, lie at last began to think that the rebels must be almost within grasp of Ills flying duster tails. Blind with sweat and dust, he tripped on a log and fell fliat on bis stomach, or as flat as lie could fall on such a round stomach. A zouave who was hard al his heels came down with em­ phasis on top. Mr. McGuffln was sure the Philistines were upon him, and with a weak endeavor to roll his eyes around that lie might see h|s foeman's face, exclaimed; 'Great God. gentle- men, oatrt this thing be compro­ mised?'
