The semi-annual of the Forthweetern District Department of Minnesota, G. A. R., will be held at Litchfield June 17. Major Samuel Harper, Department Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, died of malarial fever at Pitts­ burg, Pa., Thursday evening. Major llar{>er was a prominent Mason. James Shannon, with his wife and little girl, walked from Kansas to Washington 1,200 miles to see President Harrison about a pension which had been refused Shannon, who was a veteran Union sol­ dier. Corporal Tanner's Eloqaencs. Together with Valuable Information. Thf following speech was made by Cor­ poral Tanner, before the Scotch-Irish congress held at Columbia, Teun., May 10, 1889: For long years I lave had one consci­ entious coiivirfloTi to my heart which has grown with the years, and which is stronger to-day than ever before--name- ly: that it is the bounden duty of this great Republic of ours to see to it that no man v» ho wore the blue and laid it off an hemor shall ever feel the necessity of or be permitted to crawl under the roof of an almshouse for shelter. The wolf of want must in common decency be driven from the door of the maimed and dis­ eased veteran, and of the widows and orphans of those who have already laid down their lives. Only a few weeks since, I read the cold, deliberate announcement that in the vaults of the Treasury at Washington the brick walls he<l actually been broken by the press of the silver hoarded therein; and last week I read that other cold an­ nouncement which caused the blood to boil in my veins that a man of good character who had trod many ft battle­ field at the head of a thousand (men that he led to the front as Colonel command­ ing, who had conducted liimoeB in all walks of life with honor, who h%d simply been unfortunate in business affaire, was found by an officer of one of the charita­ ble institutions of New York City, with his old wife eking out a miserable exist­ ence in an attic room trying to subsist on 20 cents a day. We hear a great deal to-day about the pension list of the United States. It is a great list. I am here to assert it is a roll of honor. Among the scores of thousands who are upon that roll of honor there are 33,871 no one of whom draws from the treasury of the United States more than $3.76 per month; 1,893 of them draw $3 per month; thirty-eight of them draw per month, seven of them draw f2.6(i per month; two of them draw 12.50 per month; four of them draw |2.25 per month; three of them draw $1.12,̂ per month; 31,302 of them draw #2 p^r month; two of them draw $1.87 per month; and 283 of them draw $1 per month. Mr. Chairman, Lgjfchink that in' this there site great assemblage' i site no man who Camp No. 280, Sons of Veterans, U. 8. A., Division of Pennsylvania, was mus­ tered at Oriental March 19. Warren Camp, No. 231, same division, was mus­ tered at Warren April 9 with thirty-two charter members. p The relatives of Captain Robert E. Travis, killed by bushwhackers while serving in an Arkansas cavalry regiment, can learn full particulars of his death and place of burial by addressing Com­ rade Robert A.

Quitman, Ga.( claims to be the water­ melon center of the world. It is situated in brooks county, near the Withlocoche River, and southeast of Andersonville. We remember in the summer of 180-1 see­ ing $5 in greenbacks frequently paid for watermelons in Andersonville. Perhaps these high prices paid by "Yankee immi­ grants" had something to do with stimu­ lating the culture, Samuel S, Martin, Lieutenant, Co. C. 11th, Ind. Cav., Darlington, Ind., says there is a growing impression in his part of the country that the old soldier is a thing of the past, and that a young man who ciiu make a few bets and a little fuss during the campaign is by far the most patriotic and worthy of what he asks for. L. J. Mosher, Co. G. 1st, Minn., Seneca, Kansas, says he was struck at Gettys­ burg, by a piece of rebel shell, which the surgeons were unable to extract at the time. He has recently had it removed, and is now fast recovering from the effects of the wound. The fragment is one inch long, half an inch wide at the widest end, and tapers to a point and is about one-eighth of an inch thick. A party of 30 distinguished Union and rebel officers who took part in the battle of Chickainauga are now in Chattanooga studying the battlefields' to assist Col. Kellogg, U. S. A., who is charged with the duty of making maps of them. Among the number are Geqs, W. S. Rose- crans, F. Vandever, H, V. Doynton, J. J. Reynolds, S. S, I1 ry, J. S. Fullerton, Morton C. Hunter, C. H. Grosvenor, A. Sanders Piatt, Henry A. Cist, Thurston, Col. J. Q. A. Campbell, Col. John Leving, Capt. Alfred Prittle and daughter, Maj. H. F. Perry, Cassius M. Clay, Col A. C. McClung, Col. George M. Eychelberger, Col. S. H. Marvin, CcJ,-. Don Piatt, Col. S. C. Kellogg, Col. R. H, Lane and wife, and Maj. W. T. Goodspeed. Gen. Joe Wheeler headed the Confederate contin­ gent. It is the intention to make the battlefield a National park. > „ Va Examine Pensions. ^ Washington, D. C.,--The pension office has decided to establish a board of exam­ ining surgeons at Guthrie, Oklahoma, it having been represented by Congress­ man Perkins, of Kansas, and others, that a medical board to examine pen­ sioners was necessary there. It is said that there are 500 old soldiers in the city of Guthrie. The board will consist of F. M; Pickens, Frank Duliu tu*d h. J. Hiatt. :vviv3 Keep It la Wa4. Comrades, keep it in mind that we want Section 1754, Revised Statutes, so amended as to give prefereaoe in all forms of public employment to all veter­ ans. This section now reads: Persons honorably discharged from the mihUary or navel service by reason of disabil- ity resulting from wounds or sickness incur* rn<i in line of duty, shall be preferred tor ap. pointmuuts to civil offices, provided they are found U> possess the business capacity nec­ essary tor the proper discharge of the dnties ot £ucli oDieos. The amendments we desire are: 1. That the preference shall beextended to those who were discharged on account of the expiration of their term of service or the end of the war, 2. That it ah(\ll $ot be confined to "offi­ ces," but extend w all manner of public employment, A 3. That there shftll be a penal clause compelling those wlro have the appoint­ ing power to obey tire law. Talk this matter ©ver in your Post meetings and othei gatherings, com­ rades. Let your Representatives under­ stand yoiu\wisfij$£r and we shall have the law properly: amended at the next session of Congress.--Nrntioml Trib appreciates more highly than I do nat­ ural endowment and intellectual develop­ ment. But notwithstanding all these disadvantages I lift my hat in awe and reverence to that4 extremely cultured intellect which can xn&ke the fine distinc­ tion of two-thirds of a cent par month in the disability of men who stood on the same battlefield. For twenty years and under varying circumstances I have pleaded the cause of my comrades who wore the blue. For twenty years I have been able to only plead, but now I am thankful that at these finger tips theare rests some power, and as that power if min|s I broadly say that I propoaa, just . . . 'Ite, to call in of iiff pension, tttcf of which I have named, and re-issue them on the basis of the truth that no man ought to be down on the pension-roll erf the United States for less than the mis­ erable pittance of $1 a week, though I may wring from the hearts of some the prayer, "God help the surplus." This and some other things too numer­ ous to go into detail about, I propose to do if my life be spared, and my official existence be not cut short. No good cit­ izen of the United States will dispute for an instant but that it is wise political economy to care tenderly for the men who have born the heat and burden of the day. From the lips of my predeces­ sor in the official position I hold I have the statement that from statistics gath­ ered by him there is no doubt but that at least 10,000 honorably discharged soldiers and sailors of the Union army and navy lay down their heads this night on pallets of straw and eat the bread of charity in the almshouses of the United States. It is a shame to us north and south and God willing we will right it.

Since making mention of the above a short time ago we have had time to examine the book itself thoroughly and are well satisfied that comrades and others will find that portion we propose to publish in our department well worth their pe­ rusal. A Noble Bantiaeat. Pension Commissioner Tanner ex­ presses a noble sentiment when he says that in his opinion it is the duty of the Republic to see that no Union soldier should ever be permitted to crawl under the roof of an alms-house. Whatever the public opinion as to a general service pension, it certainly is decided that .no soldier of the Union should suffer from want. SBNATOBIAX PRBBOGATIVBS. The two Senators from Illinois are to make a stand together against the Presi­ dent in defence of what they claim as their " prerogative "--the right to select the important Federal officers for their State. A test case is to be made of the appoint­ ment of an Internal Revenue Collector upon the recommendation of three Repre­ sentatives in Congress from Illinois, and against the wishes of Senator Cullom. The senators will try to prevent the is­ suance of a commission in this case, and failing in that will--if they mean to fight for their "prerogative"--endeavor to prevent confirmation of the President's appointee. If Senators Cullom and Farwell will look at the Constitution of the United States, they will find that the preroga­ tive of nominating persons to office be­ longs exclusively to the President. The language of that instrument is that "he shall nominate and by and with the ad­ vice and consent of the Senate shall ap­ point" public officers. The advice and consent of the Senate is given or with­ held after the nomination, not before it. For Senators to claim as a right what has been extended as a courtesy is to set themselves up as assistant Presidents for their respective States--as executive instead of legislative officials.--Netr York World.
