Washington Letter. [From our regular correspondent.] Washington, D. Cy June 5, 1892. Memorial Day in Washington is the great holiday of the year. It is the day in which soldier and civilian, black and white, all Join and contribute to the occasion. Among the army of 15,000 civilian employes, a la’-ge proportion are old veterans. Here you will see more onelegged and one-armed men than any other place of its size anywhere perhaps on the globe These old soldiers have organ zed various Grand Army Posts, their wives, Women's Relief Corps, and their children, Sons of Veterans organizations. These, with the aid of the army and navy, militia and society organizations, help to •well the parade, and with their bright uniforms, with their flags banners and QSfpV'bute to the pageantry of the gn at jhxmSl parade. The day before McmoriaMgay all the statues erected to soldiers and sailors from revolutionary (loan to the present were draped in flags and bunting, and atti acted thousands ot people, strangers and residents to them, Scattered as they are miles apart, the street cars were extensively patronized * in visiting them. At Lincoln Sqnaro cast of the Capitol, is a statue of Lincoln In bronze, of heroic size, in which he is represented as striking the shackles from a slave. This is in charge of one ot the colored posts, and aft, acts the colored people as much as Mecca does Mohamedens. * On the morning of the 30th, the organ tied bodies comprising the parade formed off from Pennsj Ivania Avenue, with the head of column resting on Fifteenth street, from which it m v d into the avenue; thence along,.Pennsylvania Avenue turning at M street to cross the Potomac at Long bridge enroute tor Arlington. Just in advance of the column was a section oi battery C.jrd U. S. Artillery, which fired a salute of twenty-one guns, on arriving on ground. They were followed by nineteen different posts, with some twenty other organized societies, including fire companies of District of Columbia, Nati >nal Guards in uniform. the l .r 0fT ifi SuU Wm ZoS Lnding 8 . though theUl boys did”not hlvl I ~ ‘‘ music, its flags and bannersit was a mournful as wrll as grand array as it passed our post of vantage. What memories ot the past arise on such occasions. In mind the mighty armies that maneuvered and fought in fields that extended over a thousand miles across our country, with its dead and dying, with the graves known and un known, passed in review and closing our eyes seemed only to make the picture brighter and clearer. As we en'ered Arlington with its wide stretches of lawn and grove, with its hills and dale; with its acres of graves marked with its little white head stones, in long - .Straight lines, stretching over hill and valley, what a mighty army of dead arrayed as if they bad been formed in battallipns in moss wjth the state from which the so'dier enlisted inscribed. Then again, . saddest of alUs that army of the unknown dead. All that is known is that the mor- «, tai remains of some Union soldier are beneath the sod. Individuality is lost. Sister, mother or wife might bow and mourn her dead upon any of these mounds. Their identity is lost until the grave gives up its •* dead in. the final' restirection. Turning from this saddest spot of all are found polished shafts arising all aiound, mark- ’ Ing the graves of distinguished soldiers. Conspicuous among which is fighting fliil Sheridan, with many others with less re nown. . Busy among them all were the decorating committees with their train ot flags and flowers, and who did” their work faithfully. This done, the “assembly” was sounded at the amphitheater, where an immence throng gathered, while other thousands wandered through the grounds Securing a sett in the pavillion attention was given to the programme of the day. The Muzart Club and Marine Band rendered “To Thee, Oh Country," then the invocation, an original poem war re cited by Luther B. Noyes, the oration of 'the day by Gen. D. H. Hastings, the bene dictioK and “God Save Our Land" by the. Marine Band closed the exercises. No wonder that Memorial Day is so gener ally observed the country over. It is worth a thousand mile journey to witness .it in Washington. I wish every old v»t- . bran could witness the sight as enjoyed by the writer, which he has so feebly and briefly attempted to outline. Last week a resolution was introduced in the House, in the Committee of the Whole which after amendment proposed to retain the pensions of soldiers who are inmates of the different National Soldiers’ Homes, who have no families, except $5 them as near as may be selfsupporting, by retaining the pensions of the old sold iera. This resolution was introduced upon the recommendation of the Board of managers of (he different homes ot whom ex eCongressman George W. Steele ‘was one. After a somewhat protracted • \ debate, the resolution was adopted by a vote of 96 to 93. Mr. Morton, who had

the government gave the sol Her a pension, whether from wounds or disease incured in line of duty, that pension certificate with all It implies belongs to that soldier, no corporation, and least of all the great government which gave it, can step in and undertake to control the expenditure of that pension or take it away from the soldier who earned and received it.” “I am utterly opposed to interfering with the right of a soldier receiving a pension to expend it for the benefit of hie family or himself as he sees best. It is his and his only. It is his by virtue of proof made under existing laws; and this Congress, this House, this Committee of the Whole should be slow to recommend the adoption of any proposition which under takes J to deprive the soldier of that which was given him by his government as a mark of its appreciation of his patriotism his services or his suffering." Mr. Morton immediately went to work to defeat the resolution upon its final pas sage in the House, by personal effort amo ig the members and.with such success that a good round majority was secured against the propo-ition, and the old sold ier's pension saved to him. Another measure of great interest to old soldiers has lately been favorably recommended by the Committee on Invalid Pensions being a proposition that the soldier or his attorney, having a claim pending, shall have the inspection of all papers on file bearing upon his claim for pension. Heretofore the milita-y record of the soldier furnished by the War Department, the reportot the board of medical examiners in his case, and any confidential communications adverse to his claim. The result of fnqu : ries of the Com missioner of Pensions as to the credibility ot witnesses and the reports of special examiners were taken from the p pers and claimants and tlfeir attorneys not allowed to inspect them. Many an old soldier is now vainly awaiting his pension by his inability to inspect these papers, and learn what is necessary to complete his claim. Many a claim for increase of pension has been denied by the medical board of review tn the pension office,though recommended by the board of examiners, which on ap peal might have been increased notwith standing this adverse action, which is further aggravated by a rule of the pension office requiring claimants on appeal, to state in itheir appeal whether they base which can be done sd long as inspection of the papers is denied. The bill now upon the calender of the House provides a remedy for all this, and will doubtless pass both-the House and Senate. Senator Turpie’s speech on Blaine's patent reciprocity scheme, which he and the President are claiming by right of discovery, etc , and whose rights will never be adjusted to the satisfaction of both parties, is worthy the attention of every man who expects to cast an intelligent vote this fall. It is a brief encyclopedia of the world's reciprocity schemes, and some criticisms of the results of our later efforts in that line through the Blaine patent. ** Before this will reach the eye of the reader the Minneapolis convention will have named the cannidates of the Repub lic»n partv, the men the Democrats wil.l down this fall. The question for the Chicago convention to decide will be, how can it be done with the least risk, how can we secure the largest majority with the least effort, without regard to this man or that man? Without regard to sentiment or hero worship, the men who can lead us to victory with the least risk, should be chosen. Save your enthusiasm for the candidates to be chosen. Horse sense and best judgment should govern in making the selection, and of all things the delegates should be more of the enthusiast who can the only men who can lead us to victory.
