NHrly seyen hundred soldiers' orphatiWrom the Home at Xenla will attend the National Encampment. The Home Band, composed of children from the Home, will be one of the musical features of the encampment, There are now five National Homes for disabled volunteer soldiers and the sixth Is in process of erection. They are located as follows: Leavenworth. Kan.; Dayton, Ohio; Milwaukee, Wis.; Togas, Maine; Hampton, Va., and the sixth is being built In California. The total number of inmates is about 10,• 000. and the average cost per capital Is 9185. California, Connecticut, Illinois, lows, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minoesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have Homes under State patronage or care of the Grand Army. The president has sent in another batch of Vetoes--on the subject of Soldiers pensions-- and reads a gener­ al lecture to congress on the subject Those special pension bills which con­ gress is Inclined to pass in order to re lieve the wants of some poor soldier, or gome soldiers widow is about the same to the president of the United Ststes, ss a red rag Is to s mad bull. Cleveland approved a bill which gives Mrs. Gen. Blair $5,000 a year pension, because she Is a widow of a general; but disapproves four special pension bills, passed by the tame Con­ gress. te four poor widows of four poor privates. Said bill, gives each of these poor widows 9144, or the four combin­ ed 9576 per annum. And Cleveland wishes to parade himself before the country as being the friend of the poor laboring class. Look at it, think of it, and form your own conclusions, whether or not he la a friend to the poor. He would pamper the aristocrat, and starve the poor, dependent. It is right and proper that Mrs, Blair have a pension; It is equally right that those poor widows also have pensions. The husbands of these four widows, in all probability, wpuld be alive to-day. bad It not been for Cfle war, brought about by the party to which Cleveland now belongs.--Grand Army Advocate. light as actual necessity will permit."

Grounds for camping purposes sufficient for at least 100,000 men have been engaged, and are not over three-fourths of a mile froa the Stale Capitol, Don't Wave the Bloods Shirt. Old soldier. bo The general council of Twenty* second National Encampment has Issued a circular from which the fol­ lowing Items are gleaned: "Systematic and ample arrangements will be made for handling baggage.'11 It Is suggestr- ed that "traveling Qnoambranoee be « Don't ware the bloody shirt! wave it not! The past can hold its own; lot bygones forgot! 'Tis true there was a war, and many men were hurt. But never mmd, old veteian--don't wave the bloody shirt! We know what feelings prompted you to go and fight, And that you thought you fought and suiter- ed for the right; But just erase those memories, and ia their place insert, This popular command from us; "Don't wave the bloody shirt," We waved a bloody shirt when things were 60 arranged, But times are busy now--affisirs and men are changed; You stand in public gaze, your watchers are aiert, Prepared and glad to hiss yon down When­ e'er you wave the shirt. But, Bah! Away with such sarcastlo repetition of a hateful hue and cry! ltdoesjnot need antiphrosis to vent the plain and honest feelings of a soldiers' frienJ. And friends they have. Pause veteran and think. The yeung men who are daily atep- picg into the arona of pnblio affairs look about ^hgjnselves, with discrimi­ nating as well as inquiring minds. They take note of things, All up and down the country that jeering refrain is constantly sounding. That hue and cry is iterated without argument and reiterated without reason. But the young men« are not deceived. They instinctively perceive in it an en­ deavor to create contempt and disfa­ vor for some thing by giving It a disagreeable name. What does it mean, whencs comes It, and why, query they. They find it to mean that the inci­ dents and results of a war. whioh was a public aflalr, must not now be men­ tioned, in discussions of public affairs, by those who bore its brunt. Great Heavens! Is it true that a soldier may not freely talk? Is It the Victor upon whom silence Is Imposed ? Has a conquerer's glory beoome thbtff of shame? If ao, giro us back then, tbe darken ages, when the fafth ful soldier coming home victorious, even in the service of the wrong, was accorded all the glory snd all the ben efit of his victory. A hero then, he was a hero for life. Tbe mantle of charity was throws over his faults. He received preferment from his superiors, and his social equals not only submitted bat joined in doing him homage. But here. In Amerloa! for the first tin^e In all history, we see the conqueror come home to have pointed at him tbe withering finger of scorn If he attempts to make any practical, benefloial use of his "glory." Although this is a practical age, al­ though tha pursuit of practical and beneficial things is universal among men in this age, and although there were many practical and beneficial things resulting directly and indirectly from tbe war, those who have been tho most benefitted are most vociferous In their protest when the soldier refers to the past. And who are they ? What name did you In war-time give to those who decried your efforts and dis couraged your inspiration and aspira­ tions? Was "Copperhead" the name? And has tbe material died out; or is it, perhaps, bolder now? Do ypu recognize the voice that tricfrfby4 shouts to drown your tones, tbe hand that tries to clap shut your mouth when you essay to speak of the past in order to receive the meed of reward which a grateful people, If informed, would Ireely give? Full well tbe coward knows that a horo is modest. His friends Is of that sort which shun even the appearance of boasting or overestimating bis virtues; and those who seek to appropriate unto them­ selves the things whioh he haa earned hurl their sharp darts st his tenderost spot, They have only to say "He boasts." and back he stands abashed and silent. ButMWave the bloody shlrt,M old soldier! Wave It when you will. Bring up the record. Tell the facts, and let them name tbe action what they please or dare. Ye stood the shafts of war in years gone by. «Why fail ye now at jeers? Jeers sre dangerous weapons. Dangerous te the users, and barmful to them alone If met with dignity by those at whom they are aimed. Think ye not that with "the bloody shirt" you can vanquish any foe whose arms are only taunts? Tbe bloody shirt" is but apace of history, and "waving" Is is but the mentioning of honest facts. Such men as you would have had, if possible, clean linen all along the lino, the euvy of onr neighbors. Year connec­ tion with our history, and with your country, was noble,glorious and grand; for you left them, more than evar ea- vied in tbe eyes of man. Then "wave the bloody shirt," old veteran! Wave it when you will! Bring up the record. Toll the facta, and let them name the action what they please or darfi '"/ST Annual Reunion OAth.
