TIIE PROCEEDINGS.
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Sept. 18.—There were no vacant seats in the Grand opera house Wednesday morning when, the twenty-eighth national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was opened formally. Precisely at that hour Commander in Chief John G. B. Adams tapped the table with his gavel of cedar and gold ajad declared the encampment opened. Gov. Patti6on gave weloome to the delegates in behalf of the state. Mayor Bernard McKenna spoke for Pittsburgh, and Mayor William M. Kennedy for the sister city of Allegheny. Appropriate responses were made by Commander in Chief Adams and other delegates.
These exercises over, the encampment went into executive session and the delegates settled down to listen to the reports of the national officers. The closest attention was paid to the annual address of the commander in chief, upon a large number of topics. The membership, of the order, he said, is as follows:
Beginning of the End.
"One year ago there were In good standing 807,223. There have been gained during the year, by muster-in, *10,752 by transfer, 6,354 by reinstatement, 14,036 by reinstatement from delinquent reports, 2#19. Total gain, 39,661. Aggregate, 430.884. "There- have been lost, by death, 7,283 by suspension, 34,805 by dishonorable discharge, 154 by delinquent reports, 10,071. Total loss, 67,801. The number remaining in good standins June 80, 1894, was 800,083. "These figures show that the Grand Army of the Republic has reached the beginning of the end, and each succeeding year will Bhow a gradual decrease In our membership. The long-continued depression in business has caused many suspensions, and these we hope to regain when prosperity returns, but It will be impossible for us to recruit our ranks as fast as our members are mustered out by death. During the year the grand army has not forgotten the great work of charity and has expended $203,780.10 for relief. While it has lost In membership, the Interest In the order has not abated, but has grown stronger. The iiltie bronze button was never worn with more pride than it is today, and the enthusiasm of comrades in grand army work Is everywhere apparent."
Vital Interest of Pensions.
His remarks on the pension issue were repeatedly interrupted with applause. He said in part: "The question of pensions is of vital interest to comrades of our order. While we dislike to consider money matters In connection with our services to the government, the disabled condition of a large number of our comrades foroes it upon us. The president has stated that 'thousands of neighborhoods had their well-known pension frauds.' Very few frauds have been discovered, and, when found, were not cases where soldiers had defrauded the government. It was clearly the intention of the congress that passed the act of June 27, 1890, to deal liberally and Justly by the veterans and the loyal people of the country were in full sympathy with them, but rejection of claims has been the rule all this that the administration may make a show of economy and return to the treasury money appropriated oy congress for payment of pensions.-'
Some Sensational Utterances. Commander Adams said in referring to Memorial day: "It is an easy thing for comrades in the north to observe the day. The communities where the posts are located are In full sympathy with them, and cities and towns make appropriations to defray the expenses. In the south posts have neither moral nor financial assistance. Take, for instance, the day in Richmond, Va., this year. Everything possible was done to turn the day and the occasion into a glorification of the lost cause, but our comrades of that city, loyal and true to those who died for the right, marched to Seven Pines and other battlefields and laid their garlands of love upon their graves."
Continuing, in referring to the efforts of the Woman's Relief Corps to have the daily salute of the flag observed in all schools, Mr. Adams again launched in vituperation of the south, Baying: "Thus far they have only been able to enter the schools of the states that were true to the union. It is not possible to go into the schools of the south carrying our flag and theirs and teaching the children that we are one country and have one common destinv. I am unable to understand why so many who, like the prodigal son, wandered from their father's house, will persist in living upon husks, cherishing love for a cause that Is forever lost, and refuse to return and eat the bread of loyalty under the stars and stripes."
In his reference to law and order Commander Adams made the statement that during the recent strike crisis he had the entire Grand Army of the Republic membership of five Btates under arms, and had the men on duty been unable to restore law and order he should have called out the Grand Army of the Republic, and was confident that every comrade able to bear arms would have responded.
Conclaslon.
Commander Adams then urged the establishment of a permanent headquarters for the grand army for the preservation of its records. He. concluded as follows: "As our members grow less may our love increase. Be true to the principles of the order. Keep sacred the memory of our dead, stand loyally for the Interests of our living and, above and beyond all, see to it that the flag we love so well and followed so long Is not trailed in the dust. Plaoe it higher and higher, until its stars mingle with those in the heavens and its stripes can be seen by all the world, telling that it Is an emblem of equal rights and national unity saved and made purer and brighter by the loyalty and devotion of its defenders."
The address was accompanied by detailed reports from all the national officers of the organization.
Various Department Statements. The report of James F. Meecli, adjutant general, .shows a decrease of 400 posts during the last year, or at least the lack of reports from that number of posts. According to the figures given, there was expended in charity this way for the six months ending December 81, 1893, the sum of S100,480.03 and for the six months ending June 30, 1894, 8103,294.07, a total for the year of §203,780.10.
The inspector general says of the posts of the grand armj' organized in Honoluju that nearly every member is in tlie army of the republic of Hawaii and that the posts of the order now own property val'ied at §1,018,797.69,

equipment.
Quartermaster General Louis Wagner in his report states that the affairs of his department are in good condition. There are no unpaid bills against the national encampment, and nothing owing to the national encampment except the per capita tax of two of the smaller departments.

The closing report was that of the committee on legislation, Joseph W. Kay chairman, and it dealt at length with its efforts, under instructions from the last encampment, to urge upon the Fifty-third congress to give preference in every public employment to survivors of the war for the union. It frankly admitted that all its efforts had failed, and continued: "This Is hardly to be wondered at when we reflect that men who fought to destroy the union now dominate and control In both legislative branches of the national government. No successful appeal can be made to enemies ol this country—many of them as much so now as they were In the war days—and we may be permitted to say here that these now reconstructed states will never be for justice to the soldiers and sailors of the union. Such men do not understand—they never did—the meaning of patriotism, For them 'old glory' has no charms, home and country no significance. They are not Amer cans."

When Lovely Woman Stoops to Folly, and continues to use the old-fashioned, so-called soaps, which destroy clothing and clean nothing
Will Meet'Next at Louisville. Henry Watterson delivered an address urging the claims of Louisville, Ky, to the next encampment. The ovaition tendered Mr. Watterson at the conclusion of his effort for his own city was a magnificent tribute to the eloquence and feeling of the representa tive selected by Louisville. It was properly voiced later by the unanimous decision of the heads of the grand army to break over a precedent and take the next national encampment into the erstwhile enemy's country south of Mason and Dixon's line, to Louisville. St. Paul, the only other contestant, gracefully retired, under assurance, it is believed, of the en' campment for the following year.
Some Resolutions.
Among the resolutions prepared for general action by the encampment are two that are exciting considerable in terest. One demands an investigation of the system of reporting upon applications for pensions as pursued in the bureau of pension reports under the management ol Col. Ainsworth, its official head. An other paragraph in the resolution demands that Col. Ainsworth be hinisell investigated on allegations that he caused the dismissal of ex-union soldiers for causes other than provided for in the statutes defining the right of veterans to employment under the government.
The other resolution covers the whole system of reporting upon and granting pensions, and charges that grave malpractice exists in connection with the conduct of the bureau oi jjensiou reports, of which Col. F. G. Ainsworth is the official head. This resolution has attached to it the names of three members of the Wash ington post Appended to it is a

besides which they have general funds aggregating §758.051.10 and relief funds aggregating 8449,045.58.
The twenty-seven departments reporting give the following statistics: Number of soldiers' and sailors' graves decorated by posts, 232,358 number of soldiers and sailors buried during the year ending last Memorial day, 4,022 cemetery lots owned by posts, 682 number of soldiers and sailors buried in potter's fields, 752 unmarked by proper headstones, 10,282 number of posts holding Sunday memorial services, 2,225 number of posts holding Memorial day exercises, 2,232 number of comrades who took part in the exercises, 182,106.

Sickles on the Warpath.
At the reception to Gen. Dan Sickles Wednesday evening the general, In an address, turned his attention to the administration at Washington, and after saying he was a democrat, scored the pension bureau officials. He said! "It takes the people In Washington a yeaj to find out whether you were in the wai or uot, another' year -to find out if you were wounded, another year to find out If thq enemy shot you, another year to find out some'* thing else, and Jby the time a man's pension la due the applicant is dead. Hoke Smith has been busier in putting confederates into the pension office than in granting pensions to union soldiers. He may find time next year to look after you. The man who is responsible for the pension laws is Mr. Cleveland and not Hoke Smith."
