it has been an inspiration, a revelation
and a consolation to you to realize that

fortitude and sttcrince. Never was a war

fought with such sacrifice, and never a

COMMANDER ON THE G. A. R,
General Stewart Recommends Pen
sions for All Soldiers.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. The report
of Commander-in-Chief Stewart, submit
ted to the G. A. R. convention today, was
received with great applause. In part, it
-was as follows:
"For the second time In its history the
Grand Army of the Republic has jour
neyed to the Pacific Slope to hold its an
nual encampment. When we met In the
City of San Francisco, 17 years ago. the
eastern shores of the Pacific Ocean
marked the western boundary of the re
public. Since that time the foes of other
clays, the men who wore the blue and
gray in the greatest war known in all
time, have marched together under the'!
flag of a united country, and carried it I
forward In the march of civilization and
of progress. Today as surviving soldiers j
of the war for the suppression of the Re
bellion and the preservation and contin
uance of the Union, we rejoice in the
adr2d glory of the flag, and the greatness
and the power of the Nation, all of which
emphasizes the grand results of the war
in which we bore a part, and the crown
ing glory of which was the Inestimable
blessings conferred on the human race.
"The gains in membership the past
year were by muster S1S3, transfer 3G03,
reinstatement 11,672; the losses, by death
S3G6, honorable discharge 730. transfer
2990, suspension 13,513, dishonorable dis
charge 76, delinquent reports 5022; net
loss 7215.
"The observance of Memorial day was
of a character to assure us that the heart
of the people of the land Is still in sym
pathy with the beautiful and impressive
service. There ha-e been, as there always
will be, some who will disregard the ob
ligation that rests upon all the people to
pay tribute to those whose valor secured
them the blessings aacl the security which
this and future generations will enjoy
and share. We cannot but hall with de
light the participation In the ceremonies
of the school children of the land.
Relief Corps Is Commended.
"The Women's Relief Corps continues
with unabated zeal the splendid work to
which it Is devoted and for which It Is
organized. The ladles of the Grand Army
are none the less earnest and active in the
work in which they are so lovingly and
loyally engaged. The name Sons of Vet
erans is full of meaning. They feel that
theirs is a heritage of glory that they
stand apart in a measure from the young
men of their time. Bring the boys up
nearer the post room, nearer the Grand
Army, and they will form the new line of
Union-loving, patriotic men. whoso flag
and purpose and altar will be that of
their fathers.
"The responses to the general order re
questing contributions to aid the com
rades In the Southern departments In the
work of celebrating Memorial day have
been liberal.
"The noble nnd laudable effort of the
Grand Army of the Republic to place love
of country and flag prominently before
the youth of the land has been eminently
successful, and has reached all parts of
the republic and its dependencies. The
tendency toward the enactment of laws
directing patriotic education and rever
ence for tho flag is encouraging and com
mendable. "Contributions to a limited extent for
the Home at Mountain Springs, Ala.,
have been received from every part of the
country.
"Major Falkncr, the vhalrman of the
committee on ways and means, said to
the Commander-in-Chief the fraternal
feeling and the kind sentiments expressed
by the different G. A. R. posts and tho In
dividual members thereof throughout the
North has touched and softened the hearts
of every Confederate soldier in the South.
Fnvors Pensions for AIL
"The administration by the board of
pensions of the pension laws, that for so
many years had proven so vexatious and
unsatisfactory, seems to have been ad
justed to a degree of satisfaction. I be
lieve the present commissioner is earn
estly endeavoring to discharge the duties
of his high and important office honestly,
liberally and justly, and yet he is not able
to satisfy the many who feel and assert
that the Government has not dealt and Is
not dealing Justly with them. The com
plaints are not so numerous or so vigor
ous as in the recent past, and yet they
are sufficient to warrant our earnest and
careful attention and consideration. Com
plaint will never entirely cease, nor will
cases of Injustice be entirely eliminated
from the administration of such a great
trust, but by an honest, fair and liberal
administration of the laws we may reach
the minimum of complaint and of injus
tice. Is not the time at hand when wis
dom and justice both warrant such nn
adjustment of the pension laws as will
meet the condition that exists by provld
Ing for a fixed amount of pension per
month? I believe it would be wise to ap-
point a committee whose duty would be
to frame a proper bill and present the
same to Congress providing for a pension
of not less than $12 per month .for all
honorably discharged soldiers, sailors or
marines who may choose to apply."
The address was receii'ed with great
applause, the sentiment expressed and
the reference to the progress of tho aux
iliary organizations meeting with much
approval.

her was one asking that a committee of

the better government of the corps. An
other favored the permanent adoption

ral services. During the reading of the
report Mrs. Taylor was frequently vigor
