IT IS astonishing, the alarm

IT is astonishing, the alarm
that is felt among certain classes
over the amount necessary to pay
the arrears of pensions, and some
of these same journals 60 so far as
to predict a bankrupt Treasury
should the law be carried out.
Another sensitive class are very
apprenensive that it may lead to
the expenditure of some of the
die millions Secretary Sherman
is boarding 10 keep off the scare
Of resumption. How ridiculous
all this sort of reasoning must
strike the public mind. Suppose
it will take S35,OOO,000, or $780,
100000, to pay the first pledge Of
the war-to provide a reasonable
pension for those who suffered
and gave the most for its prosPcu-
ton; what other claim, we would
like to know, has prior right to
the one due the manned and
disabled soldier? Of course we
are constantly told that the bond
holders, a large proportion of
whom did not originally risk
more than thirty-fve or forty
cents on the dollar in their invest
ments, are the only class who re-
present pledge of national ho-
nor; but has not this sort of talk
been carried a little too far as a
matter of safety to the interests
they hold? The people as gen.
eral thing make no complaint
about the public debt, but we
hardly think it is the part of wis
dom to get up a cry against the
payment of another debt-not
bonded, we admit, and more to
our disgrace because it is not
equally as sacred and just as any
the Government owes; and true
craftsmanship, it strikes US,
should suggest wiser course
than the one that it trying to ig-
more it.
