add to cart   close window

The article presents political updates of the U.S., as of October 6, 1887. The action of the Grand Army men regarding pensions at their National Encampment in St. Louis, Missouri, last week is the feature of the gathering, which chiefly interests the general public, and its importance is such that it must command the attention of the nation. According to another update, although the advocates of the service pension concluded to make no fight in the National Encampment, where they saw that they were certain to fail by reason of the unrepresentative character of that body, they have organized a National Service Pension Association, which proposes to make this "overwhelming majority in favor of a service pension" felt in future.
