Bill for Arrears of Pension Passed.

We stop the press to announce that this emf
nently just bill has passed the Senate, and now
only waits the signature of the President to be-
come law.
The pensioners are greatly indebted to Sena-
tor Ingalls,, Of Kansas, for his untiring efforts
and labor in behalf of this bill, and he has
earned and deserves the friendship and support
of every soldier as well as every patriotic citizen
Two great measures of relief which the Ma
tional Tribune has advocated are now laws.
One was the law granting pensions to soldiers
of 1912; the other this bill for arrears of pen
sions.
There remains one more TO be passed the
equalization of bounties
We congratulate all pensioners everywhere,
The National tribune., 1879-01-01
The Commissioners Bill Again,

In former numbers of this paper we have dis
cussed the very sweeping and dangerous changes
proposed by Commissioner Bentley in his bill
III. r. No. 2766, now under consideration by the
Committee on Pensions.
The features of the bill struck us as grotesque
in their absurdity, if intended as practical meas
ures for relief of an novercrowded and overworked
bureau
1t may be that the ludicrous aspect of the
case has been too strongly presented, perhaps to
the injury of the substantial and solid grounds
of dissent, which exist against the measure.
We purpose now TO discuss the bill and it's
methods of work, with all the reverence that
belongs to it, considering the place where it was
conceived and the tribunal through which it is
expected to be brought forth.
In considering all laws and projects of laws,
there are three things to be deliberated upon
1st, the existing law; I'd, the evils believed
to flow from the existing law; and Sd, the rem
edy proposed for these evils.
The existing law in relation to pensions pro-
vides for "er parte statements" 1t authorizes
and requires the claimant or petitioner to make
out his by his own affidavit, by the atdavits
of friends, neighbors, comrades, or officers, and
The National tribune., 1879-01-01

that justice has at last been done that the sol
diers pension is to dete from time Of discharges,
and all arrears now due to be paid up at once.
Heirs of deceased soldiers are entitled now to
pension from date of soldiers death.
Widows and minor children of deceased pen
sioners are entitled to the back pension which
the soldier would have been entitled to under
this bill
We publish the bill in full in this issue, and
in our next, to be issued early in February, we
will set forth fully all the rules and regulations
the Commissioner shall make in reference to
such cases.
There many-very many--homes of poor
men and poor women in the country, to which
this just and merciful law will bring JOY and
gladness There will be many very comfortable
sums of money to be paid in solid lump, which,
in these times of depression, will be small for
tune to the receivers, and will secure comfort
and comparative ease for their declining years.
The amount to be paid by the United States
will be large, but it ought to have been paid
year by year as the pensions were allowed, and
not permitted to grow up into such large di-
mensi MS.
The National Tribune has done its part In
all these measures always on the side of right,
always for the disabled soldier, his widow and
heirs, and we are glad of this success
