THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SU DAY, GRAND ARMY DEPARTMENT, A Vigrous Rebuke of Factional Strife in the Nebraska Ranks, EFFECT OF DEMCR LIZ NG STRIFE. Death of a Mexican War V. or Hovey and ¢ Vicksburg—Other Grand Ari Matters. teran— Gove! nt at SraxToN, Neb, Nov, 27.—To the Voterans of the Grand Army in Nebraska: I have sought the columns of Tne Bee as the best medium to reach the attention of the greatest number of you concerning the best interests of this department. 1 do so knowing that those | have assisted when principles or policy have sustained me in so doing, will bo the first to condemn and most likely to mis- represent me, but for such, without regard to favor or position, I have neithor fear nor apologies. ‘I'his department has been in a tumult from tho factional wrangles of the Woman’s Ite- liof Corps. Fora while it app ed to me that the national officers were not only weak, but very weak in not cancelling the de- partment charter and tolding it so until an understanding had obtained permanent foot- ing here of what the Woman’s Reliof Corps was foundod for. Being fired at In voluminous volleys from both factious at the same time it might bave occurred to the na- tional presidents that breaking up of the de- pariment was the objective point that ono or the other of the factions might have inview. Sagacious men have a desiro to ‘‘let the women settle their own rows,” but sagacity 18 neither a birthright nor a cultivated attribute of a great many men any more than it is of agreat many women. Neither 1s it always easy to xkeep clear of disturbances, nor to clearly see tho way out when launched into them. The Woman’s Relief Corps and all kindred auxiliaries of the Grand Army are founded to “especially “aid the Graud Army of tho Ropuohie.” * “To perpetuato the memory of the herolcdead” * * % “To care for him who hath borae the battle and for lis widow and orphan; to find them homes and employment and to assure them of sympathy and friends,”” * * * “Toin- culcate lessous of patriotism and love of coun- try 1n our children and in the communities in which we liv ‘0 emulate the dee of all loyal women who rendered service to her country in her hour of peril.”’ * % % T aiscountenance whatever tends to weaken loyalty and to encourage tho sproad of universal liberty and equal rights to all.” Could the mind of man devise nobler sent ments for any socioty or for any govern- ment ! The conditions of our department under the reign of tumult is this: ‘“Which ofticer has the best right to caucel subordi- nate charters! Which woman has the most followers or friendsi Which faction can write the greatest number of letters to tho national officers praising their side and run- ning the other down?! Which one of the fac- tional heads can command the most support and the largest number of backers among the veterans of the department? Which can say the hardest things of the other? In short, who can display tho most skill in keeping the hornets in full fight where peaco should reign on the dearly bought grounds of *‘f'ra- ternity, Loyalty, Charity ("’ Could a moro inglorious transcending from principles be fallen into and encouraged? Would it not be in appropriate keeping with the manhood that placed itself in the balance in the lastextreme resulting from the partisan follies of your parents and grandpa- rents, to commune together as men who nave faced deuth for a vital purpose—home, wo- mun and country the foundation, and resolve among yourselves that all societies related to the Grand Army must live up to the princi- plos on which they are founded o be totaily ignored by yout ‘The department elections are near at hand acuin. To recognize the friends of either faction of the Woman's Reliet Corps as the friends of that faction is to reinstate the war and keep its batteries ready to pour its fire into the peace of your comradeship at any moment, which no true soldier can do after saeing & way to ovade it. If a Woman’s Rolief Corps oficer violates the rights of her subordinates, it is the place of those whose rights are violated, or those nearest them in the Grand Army to appeal 10 the proper authorities for redress and the proceedings should be conducted in the spirit of decorum due all legal proceedings ‘where the judges are not flooded with letters giving him a “‘piece of everybody’s mind,” coaxing him to “'please decide tor our party,’ or threatening him with ‘*‘exposure’ if ho 10ts the “othor side come out ahead.” T do not mean to say that the dopartment is in the tumult that it has been, but fac- tional epirit still exists and the woman who can be the nearest depended on in putting it down entirely and holding the order up to its true position with the Grand Army of the Republic is the woman that should have the united support for Woman's Itelief Corps presidont at the coming election. If any of my readers feel like chastising me for tous addressing the vetrans of this state, I give them warning herewith that no notice will be taken of them by me and they will save themsclves the expense of postage and the trouble of writing by bearing it in mind. 1 believe in a progressive, self- respecting wowmanhood, and were it not for the service of those who compose the Grand Army of the Republic,the child on the auction block might still be wringing the soul of motnerbood from its moorings,and no woman loyal to them or to their order will allow herself to be a party toa continuous factional ‘warfare in which the veterans are more or less compelied to take part whether she be a member of the Woman’s Reliof corps or not. A child that gets its fingers scratched by cavelessly shipping them between the bars in a menagorie, and with 1ts temper aroused immediately jams its hand into the cage to see if the thing will bite harder than it dia before, desvrves no Ylly and this is too apt to Ve the dispositions that keep up factionalism in mutual benefit socloties, Loyally ana '\mupuu(ully. Iis. Mary W. Westcorr, A Mexican Veteran. Richard P. Hammond, who died in San Franclsco Novemver 25, was & distinguished soldier in the Mexican war. He was born in Hagerstown, Md.,in 1520. In 1537 he was sent to West Point by General Jackson, Among his classmates at that institution wero many men who afterward attaiued lofty stations in tho military dopartment of the nation, and prominent on the list are found tho names of Major General J. I, Roynolds, uerals Horatio Wright and Nathaniol Lyon ana Lieutenant Colono! Rodmau, fa- mous in the invontion of ordvance. On July 1, 1841, Cadet Hammond gradu- ated from the academy, beiug tho twenty- first in order of merit in & class of fifty-two, He was assigned as brovet sccond iieutenant to the Third regiment of artillery, then sta- tioned at Fort McHenry, in Maryland. Tn September of the siine year he was pro- moted to the position of second licutenant, and shortly afterwards was transferred to tho garrison at St. Augustine, Fla., and lator 1o the Augusta arsenal. When the olaims ot tho Georgia and Florida volunteers for losses sustained during tho Florida war wero brought to tho notice of the inspoctor general 1n 1845 Lioutenant Hammond was ordered to assist in the luvestigation. Ou the decluration of war with Mexico Hammond was made a first lieutenant and ordered 1o report to Brigagior General Shiolds for duty as aide-de-camp and acting assistant adjutant gonoral. He acted in this capacity during the march through Coabuila, and on March 20, 1547, ho entored the oity of Vera Cruz with 'the 'viptorious srmy. For gallant and meritorious conduct at ihe bat- tle of Corro Gordo he was breveted captain, aud for heroio services rendered in tho on- gagoements at Contreras and Churubusco he was mado brevet major of artiliery. The storming of the castle of Chapultepeo took place on the 15th of Septamber, and on the entry of the troops into the City of Mex- ico the following day Major Hammond was appointed secrotary of the city government and acting judge ‘advocate. Ha settled in California in 1850, and in the succeeding forty years filled many responsible public positions, The Late Governor Hovey, The lato Governor Hovey of Indiana” was ~~ & man of fine poraonal courage. As o sotdier he never sent his command where he was nnwilling to lead, and the veterans who fought undor him tell many stories of hia bravery, Ono story thoy tell of Vicksburg tlrows light also on Grant's superd aisro- gard of danger. One morning Genesal Cirant oscorted by Hovey, climbed to the top of some sandbags that had boen thrown up to protect a Parrott gun battery, and with a field glass at his oye took & sirvey of the enemy’s works. The two conmmanders wore a conspicuons target for the confederate sharpshooters, and several bullots flew dangerously near them, Each officer seamed to boar a charmed life, for the soldiors momantarily expected to §0e them cut down. Governor Hovey in speaking of the incident, once said: “I beliove that Grant in kLis anxlety for a view, gave no thought to the risk.” “The Late Unpleasantness.” After & camp firo of one of tho Grand Army posts in Philadelphia u visitor who was assisting a grizzly old veteran to put on his overcoat, remarked, pointing to the sol- dier's empty sleeve: ““You carry that as a forcible reminder of tho late unpleasantness, sir.’’ ““Unpleasautness,” he oxclaimed warmly," as a look of fir crept into his eybs, *‘What unpleasantness! Thero was nothing un- pleasant about it, young man. Nothing at It was rank, out and_out hot, bloody That's what it was. I carry my empty s as a remindef of tho late cruel civil war, where many men lost & good bit more than I did—their lives. Tt may have been an unplensantuess to some; but to us it was a war and as torrible a war s you are likely to ever hear about. The Oldest Grand Army Man. The oldest Grand Army man now living is Comrade John Haynes, who will be 104 yoars of age at Christmas next. Mr, Haynes was born in Webb county, Tenn. He is over six feot tall, and possesses wouderful vigor for such an’ advancod age. He is a marine enginecr, and was with Jackson in New Orleans.’ Also served in tho Moxican war. He served in the recent war against rebel- lion, enlisting in 1862, and belng an engineer on the U. S. ship Sumpter. “The comrade and wife who 1s abont 70, are now resideats at the Old_Folks’ home iu Louis, Mo. He 1s a member of Frank P. air Post No. 1. Tough « n Parson Dr. David Morton tells a good story on Dr, Savage of the American Bible society, who was a strong union man, says the Louisville Jourier-Journal.

Thero was alarge crowd and asturdy southern matron brought ber four children to the al- tar. “Namo this child,” said the union preacher, loying his hand on the boy's head. *Simon Bolival Buckuer,” was the reply which caused a smile to come ower the con- gregation, but the brave preacher went on with his duty, *“Name. this child,” taking the next in order. *‘Pierce Gustave Toutant Beauregard,” and the smile grew into a snig- gor, while Dr, Savage grew red in tho face Ho baptized the namesake of the great eugi neer soldier, and went on with the coremony. “Namo this child,” he gasped, reaching for the third. ‘‘Albert Sydney Johuston,’ came the answer. The smile grew audible, and the preacher apoplectic. Heaving a sigh of relief, ho took the fourth child, a Littls "gi whose gender ho fondly supposed would pre- clude a continuation of heroic reproduction, and said: “Name this child.”” *“Mary Stone- wall Jackson Lee,” came a responss that set the congregation in a roar, while the union parson thought he Leld in his arns the whols southern confederacy. ora0y, BRIGHT YOUNG BLOSSOMS.

For instance, a San Francisco whaling schooner with a few casks of aleohol bought in Honolulu, and a fow cases of rifles strikes out for the north. In the case cited a half barrel of alecohol was mixed with a barrel of water. A ten- gallon cask of this stuff would buy 150 pounds of whalebone worth $900, benr skin could be got for arifle.

Millionaires in Society—Drift of Oan= adian Sentiment—Reform in Pens sion Laws—1he Judiciary and America's Majestic Wonder, December magazines furnish an unusually rich and extensive array of mental provender, largoly of a soasonable character. The topics discussed and the piaces described cover a wido range, and are bandled by writers specially versed in the subject matter. 0 »e Is Competition a Failug The supposition that competition is tho life of trade has, since the timo of Adam Smith, been an axiom and a proverb. Wo have bo- lioved in the doctrine that competition is the lite of trade as implicitly perhaps as wo have believed in any economic doctrine, In spite of this, every observing man knows that competition has very ofton proved to be tho death of trade. In fact, one of the strongest forces that has caused the organization of monopolies and trusts is the demonstration by competing firms that compotition would end in disaster. The inability to withstand competition is what has caused combinations. Mr. Aldaco I, Waiker, who was for a long time one of the Interstate Commerco Com- missioners and is now the chairman of the Western Traflic association, has made a thor- ough historical study of the rise, rowth and application of this doctri competition the lite ot trade,” and he shows in a thought- ful contribution to the Decomber number of the Forum how competition is just as often the death of trade as it is the lifo of trade. Ho shows how the old doctrine that we have <0 long believed in has utterly broken down. He sho y the development of modern commerce competition can no longar bo trusted in all cases to bring or to maintain o healthful sort of industry. He concludes his study of this subject by expressing himself in favor of a regulated competition. Millionaires in Socicty, Admittod to be tho most astonishing foa- ture of modern socicty in New York—I donot say moderu fashionable sogiety, becauso sev- oral of the names seen upon its shining list are not yet seen in those of the functions en- joyed by the so-called Four Hundred—is the number of colossal fortunes owned by indi- viduals, writes Mrs. Burton Harrison in an article on “Social Lifo in Now York," in the December Ladies' Home Journal. Two men are citea who aro reported to enjoy the reve- rom ostates of §150,000,000 oach. Oth- between twenty-five and thirty of these enviable souls—iie down at night™ with the agreeable reflection that they may upon tho morrow, if so disposed, make ducks and drakes of fortunes ranging from five millions toono hundred millions each. As to tho “one-millicnaires-and-over,” tuey are quite common cattie upon our strects. Naturaily cuough, the dazzle of these facts leads people "outside of New York to fancy that that the whole of society 15 in the attitude glowingly doscribed by Thackeray’s Vicomto de F'lorac to expross his prosperity : “Sitting surrounded by splendors, beforo golden vases, crowued " with flowers, with valets to kiss our feet.” Entire. columns of small print are devoted to tho jeweled crowns the strings of black peurls and threaded dia- monds bougit from the sales of royalty ae- posed or decoased; the dinner gold and poreelain ;. tna forest of orchids, the curtains and tablecloths of priceless lace, the town houses, the country houses, the equip- ages and the yachts with the boidoirs fitted in white and gold and_silken broideries that would have seemed impossibio save to the fevered imugination of a writer of corsair ro- mances twenty yoars ago. Asa keon com- mentator on American ehurffeter has recently observed; “When tho material rewards of success are so great, the Americau mind has no choice but to_brood on the.” This dis- cussion of wealth has, to all appearances, in- deed become our crowning reproach among other nations, who declare that while money rules tho world, we alone make no protense at veiling our worship of plutocracy. Drift of Canaitian Senciment. Many Ameticans will doubtiess bo sur- prised to learn, says Walter Blackburn Harto in an article ou “Canaaian Journalists and Journalism,” in the December New Lng Muguzine, how many of the leading editors of Canuda cxpross themselves as boiug in favor of the adoption of u continental cou- mercial policy aud_complote separation from Great Britain, Nothing could show more distinetly tho driftof the popular sentiment in the dominion for everybody is aware that newspaers only echo public opinion, and do not create it, nowadays. A fow years ugo there was little tolerance in’ Canada for any man who dared to speak of the possibility of sovering the sentimental tio binding the country 1o Great Britain. Now Canadiun independence is one of tho strongest of popular appoals. Tho strong opposition of the conservative party to anybing liko freo trado with tho United States is based upon the contention that complete independence of Great Britaiu would result in an absorption of Canada by the great ropublic. The leading journalists of thio dominion unito in urging tho nocessity of Canada belongiug to tbis continent ecouomically, and some of them are willing Lo admit to tuneir constituencies that if such identification of the commercial interests of the two countries involves political union, then political union is desirable. Such an uudercurrent 1n Lho NEWSDADOS caunot be wistaken. -~ The Grand Canon, In an interosting and instructive doserip- tion of Awmerican scenic wonders, C harles I, Lumis writes of the Grand Canon of the Colorado in St. Nicholas : If you were to tuke the smallest mountain east of the Rockies, dig down around its base 2,000 or 3,000 feet, S0 a3 to get to the sea level (from which its neight is measured), uproot the whole giant mass, and pitch it into the deepest part of the Grand canon of Colorado, its granite top would not reach up to tho dizzy crests of the cliffs which hem the awful Dbed of that great river. If you were on the stream, sud New York's noble statue of “Liberty Enlightening the World” were upon the cliff, it would look to you like the tiniest of dol and if it were across the canon from you, you would need a strong glass to see it at alll The Grand canon lies mainly in Arizona, though it touches aiso Utah, Nevada and California. With hs windiags it is nearly 700 miles long; and in many places it 1s over a mile and & quarter deep, The width of this unparalleled chasm at the top is from eizht to twenty miles: and looked dowu upon from above, a river larger than the Hudson, und fivo times as long, looks like a siiver thread. The Yosemite and tho Yollowstone, wonder- ful as they are in their precipices—and tho world outside of America cannot match those wondrous valleys—are babios beside this peerless gorge. As Charles Dualey Warner has said: *There is nothiug else on earth to. aporoach it.” Pensions—A Degradation or Not. Ara tho presont pension laws degrading to patriotism? s it & wrong principle whereby the pension roll continues after thirty-ono years from the closo of the war to increase! 1s it & wrong systom whereby & wholo army of pension ngents has come into existenceand themselyes secured vast fortunes by adding thousands of names to the roll of pumlonersl This question is taken up in the Forum by Lieutenant Allen R. Foote, a veteran volun- teor and o pensioner: Mr. Foote says: “Ihave earned the right to spoak. 1 stood iu the ranks, & loyal volun- teer, in 1801, and heard tho' hissing balis when the first guns wore fired at tho skir- mish at Blackburn's G, threo days ho!nm the first battle of Haill'Run. I marched with my company at the last grand reviow at Washington, in 1585, ' 1lost not a day lrom servico ebetwoon thode datos, except when disabled by a wound received at the battle of Fair Oaks. No man éan say of me that I am ot with those whodefnand pensions for loyal sorvice because I did not serve or did notsuf- for. Ihave written my record with my blood, 1 am not with the mercenary hordo who demand pensions fot duty done, because my loyalty is not and never was for salo. ““What would be a just basis for pensions! In forming the legisiation of the country, the clamoring of the dishonorable should not be considerea, When the pension-roll is relleved of all those who are nbt in need, and all who are willing to earn a living if a fitting oppor- tunity is found for them, those that remain will bo only a very fow who can, under the most favorable circumstances that can be found for them, earn only partly enough to support themsolves in ocomfort; those who can do nothing towards their own support; and thoso who can earn nothing, and who periodically require the aid and attendance of other persons. Toeach of these, classes abundance shouid be given, No honorable person will for an instant withhold from such as thoy the full sympathy and supvort which are their due. When ihe pension-roll has boen so sifted, some dregs may be left out ~moral and physical wrecks who have reactiod the lowest depths of degradation,und arc unworthy of consideration, except as paupers. I am of the opinion that a close canvass of all loyal volunteers will result In secu ctive support of at least 106,000 for such a reform of the pension ango the legal basis of the claim from “support by manual labor’® to impairment of oarning capacity, aud, further, provide that no claimant shall rece inents when not in need or while earning comfortable hiving by public or private em- ployment. More thau this, I believe tha when the reasons for aud the naturo of t reform demanded are once propoerly under- stood, large numbers of loyal voluntéers who are now receiving pension payments that thay nccept as an honorable expression of the nation’s gratitude and appreciation (but who are not in need) will willingly seo their pension certific oo 1, rather tnau allow their hor 1o bo used as o cover for pensioning dishonorable and undeserving.” the bheahay i oy Five Hundred Miltion Dollars will bo spent at tho “World’s fair.” Now is tho time to secu e a hotel, boarding house or other business to make 4 fortune.
