SENATOR KEENAN, AND THE PENSIONS

Colonel FRANKLIN PITTS, of Lockport,
Niagara County, New York, and other Union
veterans of that section having forwarded
to Congress petition urging an appropria-
tion to pay arrears of pensions, Senator
HERMAN, of that State, writes the petition
ers as follows in response thereto:
cannot doubt that Congress will at this ses-
sion make an appropriation to pay such arrears
of pensions as shall be due under the law
lately passed. l will certainly do all in my
power to have such an appropriation made. 1
think petitions from soldiers and taxpayers sent
to and presented to each House will tend to
render the appropriation more certain.
In this expression Senator HERMAN is
without doubt in sympathy with public
sentiment on this question. That these
pensioners are entitled to their arrears there
can be no doubt. That Congress thought
so is evident in the passage of the law
authorizing the payment of these arrears
That they should now be paid is equally
patent, and hence to refuse or neglect tC
make the necessary appropriation is an ACT
of injustice, the responsibility Of which nc
man or party can afford to take

The pneumonia-in-America can-cattle fever
is dying out. 1t was purely of English Or

portation of our cattle into that market.
Our cattle are quite as healthy as those of
Great Britain, but their importation is not
very healthy for the cattle growers of Brit
tania's domain. That is about all there has
been of the matter
