The next encampment of the IlUnole department of the G. A. R. will be held at Qulncy. General James Martin was elected commander for the ensuing year at the state encampment of the G. A. R, last week. The sixth aunual convention of the department of Wis, Woman's Re­ lief Corps was held at Milwaukee, Feb. 30th. The eleventh annual encampment of the department of Michigan, will be at Bay City, Michigan, an March 13-14- 15. Many Gnud Army posts In Now York and vicinity are responding to tbe appeal for aldjto build a confeder­ ate soldier's boiqe, at Aujtin, Tex The Grand Army pension committee is hard at work, It recently promul­ gate d'the opinion thafk tbe next (ton gress will do well by the soldiers of the late war. ' The legislature of Wisconsin hiu passed a law permitting the city ot Milwaukee to raise for the expenses of the Grand Army encampment by speclaltax. A great many ot tl pressing a wish that meat be held at the ton, D. 0. Congress bas passed a few special pension bills' which will again, we pre sume, give President Cleveland gre^t pleasure In vetoing. There^is one mitigation to Ithe vetoes of Cleveland that reflects on Congress. If justice was being done there would be more general pension laws and lewer special enactments. Miss Josephine Cleveland,^pcretary of tbe department of Illinois, W. B. 0' reports as follows for tbe quarter end­ ing December 31st, 18S8: Number- of corps, 131; number of corps in good standing, 117; membership,4,030:quar tei-ly cash expenditure for relief, 9689 total relief tor tbe year of 1888,12,700.- 03. There Is no good reason why Con­ gress should not equalize tbe pay of the old soldiers, so that the paltry sum received by them In what was then a depreciated currency, shall repre­ sent as much as the money received by those who furnished the money to carry on tbe war. Both did their duty and deserve precisely the same kind oi psy. On January 21st, at tbe Pennsylvania Soldier's and Sailors Home at Brie, Fa. as tbe Inmates were seating them­ selves at the dinner table a man named McQulnlan, of iPbiladelphia, In sport pulled a chair away In which Louis Bachler, of Mabanoy City, was about to seat himself. Baohler fell to the floor in a sitting posture and streams of blood gushed from his nose and mouth. He bad ruptured several blood­ vessels and almost before be could be lifted up, be was dead befero tbe hor rifled eye* of his comrades. McQuln­ lan, who Is distracted ever th<l awful accident, has oeeu committed to jail to await tbe actio^c^T the next grand jary- * * • Did you Vrer think of tbe time when there will not be living a single member of tbe Grand Army," said a reporter to a veteran tbe other day. 'Yes, but I don't want to think of it," was tbe reply.- "Why a few days ago my stin was elected captain of a Sons of yeterans post, and as I looked at him la his new uniform, he Is only nineteen years old, I remembered that I was oily about bis age when I went to the war, snd as I thought how much my affection was centered in him I didn't wonder that It almost broke tbe hearts of the men of 1861, to give up their boys to be shot for the Union tadulaaw Un boy steading wilfc hi* The Sooth does not ask and wilt not accept tlie aid from the Federal gov­ ernment so grudgingly tendered by General Sherman. The onee Confed­ erate States have accepted the issues of the war and have lived by them so tar, and they will continue to live by them so long as they are to be found on the Federal statutes. By those statutes the confederate soldier Is barred from any favors by the Federal government. Be cannot be recognized In any way. This was part of the fate of war, Bo far the South has lived op to H. And, as in the pest, so in the future they will abide by it. When the war commenced some men had money and furnished it liberally to tbe government. These men were promised that they should receive gold or Us equivalent, both principle and interest, in return, Tbe govern­ ment has been true to that promise and these who loaned the government money have been so paid. There were however, another class of men, who bad no money to offer the govern­ ment; but they did have plenty ef pat­ riotic devotion and Spartan courage and they offered their lives to tbe Na­ tion. They were promised tbe paltry sum of #1S per month, and they have never received it. Is it not about time the government was fulfilling Its promise to these men as well as it has fultlled Its promise to the man who only furnished their moneyt A Hew Bill. The present Illinois Legislature con­ tains over ferty old soldiers, and they are alive to the interest of their late comrades In arms. They have alread\ introduced some Important bills whlcb have been published In this depai-t- naeat, and-have under consideration atbers. rhe following Is ^be Intro­ duced soon. Ao act to enable any county, city, town or village in the State of Illinois to lease its publle buildings, or any pert thereof, to .Posts of the Grand Army of the Repu^llo or Soy other vet €ran organizations." 1.

All acts or parts of aets inconsis­ tent with the provisions of this set are hereby repealed. 3. This act shall take effect immedi­ ately. A Genuine Old Seidieiv In the county hospital there is a lonely old man named John Speckman who is without a relative. In tbe course of natare be cannot live many years in bis adopted country. He wae born in Bolton, Lancashire, England, in 1833. He emigrated to tbe United States when be was twenty years old. In New York he enlisted, in August, 1861. la the famous sixty-ninth Yolun- teers. He served on tbe Peninsula until the battle of Malvorn Hill, and was wounded June 31st, captured the same day and spent three months In Libby Prison His wounds were in the head, right leg and left hand. After three uontba he was exchanged and sent to the general hospital at Philadelphia, and after four months discharged. He enlisted July 3rd, 1863, for 30 days in the eighty-fourth New York Volun­ teers and was discharged August 4th of the same year. He enlisted August 10th of the ssme year In the seven­ teenth New York Volunteers and was discharged July 13th, 1865. In this regiment he was known aa John Speck, through mistake of tbe enlisting offi­ cer. He re-enlisted in New York in tbe 30th Uulted States Infantry an# wai discharged March 14tb, 1869. He en­ listed again at Fort Sanders, July 19th 1870, in the Fourth United States In­ fantry and was discharged July 19th, 1875. During his service iu this regi­ ment he was sunstruck at Lebannen, Kentucky, and spent three tmontbs In the hospital. He enlisted at Fort Sanders, September 4th, 1875, in the same regiment, and wss discharged September, 1880. The discharge bears the following endorsement. "A good and faithful soldier." VHa discharge* tin lsst Um it Fort Fetter man ho came to Cheyenne, remaining thero a few months after­ wards living five years as Fort Collins, where hi* wife, to whom he was mar­ ried in 1863, died la 1SS7. He came to Denver In Deeimbor. 1887, and worked at Jacyls Hall, While going to the cellar for n 4 bucket of coal nearly a year ago he stepped into a coal backet,left on the stairs, falling some distance receiving internal injuries from whiah bo has never recovered. Last November Its had another fall which wholly Ine*? & pacltated blni from work, Speckman was admitted to the hos­ pital a few weeks ago and is receiving the kindest wire and attention. De&a Hart and several Grand Army men sit taking much Interest in the old vet­ eran and are making an" effort to. so- car® a peasira for him. / Mow 8herid*a Saved a Cadet.' .-I A ^tecen* graduate of West Point s gives a pleasant account of bis last sight of General Sheridan. That Il­ lustrious soldier was making his in­ spection rounds of the military acad­ emy with the commandant. Sheridan lingered awhile la the quarters of my Informant, whose father was the gen* erafs friend of long standing. Before leaving'Little Phil' stepped to the open fireplace, and, bending, looked op the chimney making a throat with his sword worthy of a professional swoop. Rattletybang, crash, oame a whole as­ sortment of bottles, flasks and cigar boxes. The cadet says he stood aghast with the death sweat on bim. Gen- Sheridan froze him with a stern glance 1 and then turuing to the instructor ho «aid; "Do not report this ease; I have taken an unfair advantage ef I well remember tbe old biding place of »| Owa oadetship,"--American. . < ^ Sx-Prisoaers of War. * ̂ The grizzled veteran* composing the Ex-Prisoners of War Association discussed with anl nation recently at the Grand Pacific, Sebate bill, No 60S, Intreduced by Senator Hawley, In wbtch all ex-prisoners of war have at •teen Interest. The following is tho »ill: Be it enacted by tho Senate and till House of Representatives of tho United States of America, In Congress assembled, that the Secretary of tho Interior be. and hereby is, authorized to pay kll surviving officers and men the military and naval forces of tho United States who were prisoners of war during the war of tbe rebellion for a period of tbirtj days or more, tho sum of two dollars for eaeh aad every day tbey were held In confinement at prisoners of war. President D, W. Howe, and several other comrades urged the claims of the prisoners of war for compensation from the government for the hard­ ships they underwent, which deprived them of opportunities of promotion in the field and from re-enlisting whon their time expired and thus securing large bouaties, all of which privilegM their comrades'ia active servioe en­ joyed. To aid In the passage of the bill the executive committee was in­ structed to wait upon Senator Farwotl and urge him to work for the passage of tbs bill and to commn^ieate with Senator Cullom.
