There were many brave mea who were overtaken by disease Is tba early days of UMlr «aperlenoe> who ha* came dlsablid ror fdrtber dhttr as sol- dlc'rs, and many ol them became per­ manently disabled from performing physical labor. Tbey did what they oould They showed e loyal and will- log disposition to do whet tbey could to save the country.

This measure Intro* duosd by Mr Sherman Is right and should have received the attention of oongresa long ago. We hope the bill will pass and that justice may be dfene to those who are yet alive. "Better late than aever" Is the old adage, aad although this act of justice to the old veterans has been tardy, end many of those who contracted disease early ia their soldier life have gone dowa to their gravee without recognition, still there are hundreds yet living who Can be made to rejoice If this tardy act of justice Is speedily made effect­ ive. We know of our, ewn personal knowledge of scores of soldiers, who were taken dowa with the meaelea shortly after they got to the field, and with the scant facilities with which we were provided for taking care of the sick, many of these poor fellows died and many others became perma nently disabled, who might have lived aod who might to day be sound and well, oould # they but havej had the proper treatment la good comfortable quarters.
