Much the greater part of the ’pension mey is spent by tbc soldier* for tobacco, beer and ardent spirita. At each of these socalled “Homes," with the exception of the one at Martini, Ind.. there Is a “Beer Hall” or Canteen about one hundred feet in length and In If is an elliptical bar and three or four barteoders, and a nearly continuous line of the soldiers going in at the door at one end and out at tbc other and, and often only again to join the line to go In for

another drink.

Tbnae Beer Halls are an eyer present ami powerful temptation to the men, and of them art partially intoxicated of tbc time until their money give* out. Others, at intervals, become wholly so from the beer drinking alone. A still •arger number become sots through indulgence in stronger drinks obtained at ime of the many saloons near the homes. Those outside saloon* are much fewer, and the puntshmoola fur droakeoDcaa and disorderly conduct are much leas at Mari00, where there la no canteen In the home, than at the other institutions. Thus the National Govorina out a directly engaged in the making ol iuebriatea, and the abolition of the system by Congress is urgent-

' ar great evil and one which found even at this otherwise model tuaUtatiou, though to a much more limited extent, is that those of the soldiers who lead sober and oorreet liven—God fearing lerana who faithfully act country Is the days of Ha extremity, are subjected by the Government to the gross Indignity and Injustice of dally association ’till habitus! drunkards. The Government owas it to the decent aod importable 'inmate* that all the should bo purged of Inebriate*, and they he sent to say luma apoc tally deaigaed for such men.
