At regular meeting of Harvard Camp No. 236, Sons of Vetetans, at Harvard, 111., the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That this Camp denounces and condemns the attitude assumed and actions on the part of the person known as "Young Bayonet Points" toward the old soldiers--our fathers--in his constant efforts to belittle and abuse such gallant soldiers as Corporal Tanner and Assist ant Secretary of the Interior Bussey, and others nearer home ; and for his course generally from the time he attacked that great and patriotic organization to which the majority of our fathers belong, the Grand Army of the Republic. Be it further Resolved, That we heartily endorse Ifhd approve of the course taken by the editors of the Harvard Herald, and Woodstock .SV/jfine/Soldier Departments, and of Wm. H. Cowlin, editor of the Sol diers' Department of the McHenry PLAINDEALER in their vigorous and right eous defense of the cause which their com rades in arms fought to sustain, thereby standing nobly by their colors--as they did in '61--against the sneers and unjust criticisms at the hands of "Young Bay onet Points" of the McHenry Coantjr Democrat. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions be furnished the Harvard Herald, Woodstock Sentinel, and Wm. H. Cowlin for publication in their respective Sol- <IW Iktmiiminta KB. Prssident Harrison Stands loliy by His Comrades. While President Harrison's recent mes sage to Congress will no doubt appear elsewhere in the PLAIN-DEALER in full we publish below that portion relating to pensions. It frill be seen that there is no uncertain sound in whatPresident has to say on this subject: PENSIONS. The law now provides a pension for every soldier and sailor who was mus tered into the service oi the United States during the civil war; and is now suffering from wounds or disease having an origin iu the service and iu the line of duty. Two of the three necessary facts, namely, muster and disability, are usually sus ceptible of easy proof; but the third, origin in the service, is often difficult, and in many deserving cases impossible to establish. That very many of those who endured the hardships of our most ardu ous campaigns are now disabled from diseases that had a real but not tracea ble origin in the service I do not doubt. Besides these there is another class com- Josed of men many of whom served three ull years enlistment, and of re-enlisted veterans who added a fourth year of ser vice, who escaj>ed the casualties of battle and the assaults of disease, who were al ways ready for any detail, who were in every battle line of their command, and were mustered out in sound health, and have since the close of the war, while fighting with the same indomitable and independent spirit the contests of civil life, been overcome by disease and casual ty. I am not unaware that the pension roll already involves a very large annual expenditure, neither am I deterred by that fact from recommending that Con gress grant a pension to such honorably discharged soldiers and sailors of the civil war, as, having rendered substan- service during the war, are now depend ent upon their own labor for a mainte nance, or by disease or incapacity are in capacitated from earning it. Many of the men who would be included in this form of relief are now dependent upon public aid, and it does not in my judg ment consist with the milional honor that they shall continue to subsist upon the local relief given indiscriminately to paupers instead of upon the special and generous provisions of the nation they saved so gallantly and unselfishly. Our people will, I am sure, very generally ap prove such legislation. And I am equally sure the survivors of the Union army and uavy will feel a grateful sense of relief when this worthy and suffering class of their comriMfc- is sairly cared for. There manifest inequalities in ich should be reine- the Secretary of stent ion. It is that by the ithods in the Peti- the mili of pension ily answered the exis died the Inf gratify adoption ol the War Depal siou Office forinfoi tary and hospital claimants are now and the iajwiaiu! atydL vexatious i\< that have heretofore occurred, are entire ly avoided. This will greatly facilitate the adjustment of all [tending claims. Ike New Pension Commissioner. Commissioner of Pensions Raum has been making many notable changes in the management, of the Bureau of Pen sions, and they are, in our opinion, well worthy of noticing in full, hence we copy the following from the Inter-Ocean be lieving that many of .our readers will be interested in reading what the new Com missioner iB doing iii order to bring the pension office up to a higher standard of thorough business principles: Commissioner Raum's attention was recently called to the fact that he had been in office a month, and he was asked to make a statement of the changes he has made in the bureau since he assumed the duties of the Pension Commissioner- ship. He said that he had no objection to making such a statement, as he as sumed that the conduct of the pension office and its method of disposing of the pension claims of the old soldiers was a subject in which the public generally felt- considerable interest. "In the first place," said Commissioner Raum, "I have issued orders making a distribution of the business of the office which I think will greatly facilitate the adjudication of the great mass of pension claims which are still unacted upon. When I took charge of the bureau the two deputy commissioners had no well defined duties and performed only those which happened to fall upon them from day to day. Under the distribution which I have made their duties are clearly defined, and the labors which they will be called upon to perform from day to day will not only be important but arduous. I regard these two depu ties as very important officers, and I think they should share the responsibil ities of the business of the office with the Commissioner. I have already found this to be an admirable arrangement, and it will greatly facilitate the careful transaction of the work. The duties of the chief clerk have also been more fully determined. He has been relieved of some of his former duties and he is now made responsible for the discipline of the offi cial force, and for the careful and orderly performance of the duties of the office. I have also made it the duty of the chief clerk to see that all letters and communi cations containing evidence in pension claims shall be acknowledged daily. Heretofore the communications have been simply filed with the papers, and the writer would be left in the dark as to whether his communication had reached the office or not. Another change has been the reorganization of the medical division. I found this division divided into sections and the work was assigned to these sections according to classified diseases. Under the present arrrange- ment the work will daily be assigned to the surgeons without reference to these classifications, and it has already been demonstrated that less time is wasted and that a great deal more work can be accomplished. I have created an ap pointment division iu the bureau which will have charge of all papers relating to the appointment aud promotion of the official force and of the examining sur geons throughout the country. This I regard as an exceedingly important matter. The official force carried upon the rolls is 1,654, and there are nearly 3,000 examining surgeons making a to tal force of over 6,000 persons whose papers will be under the control of the appointment division. A change has been made also in the form of the call up on tile War Department for the military and hospital records of o!aimants, which [ will save a great deal of labor on1 of the War Department and the work in this office con have conferred freely with chiefs of divisions and the h| of the Bureau and haffiB impress them with the qniring the utmost dOjgl part of their subordinates the work of the office. I am ] that I have met with a ponse from them. "week the adjudicating < forward to the medical cases, and the medical dfa judicated 4,354 cases.
