The eSIxty-SurCeons Pension Bill.

The Senate Committee on Persons will hear
arguments on the part of Messrs. King and
Lennon, of this city, on Friday next in Op-
position TO Senate bill No 106, known us tho
Sixty-SurGeons Pension bill, and as these gem
tlemen are thoroughly experienced in pension
law and represent vast number of claimants
for pensions, it behooves the committee to
listen atteutively to what they have to say
upon tho subject of pensions generally, and
upon the bill under consideration particularly.
1t has been suggested that the only answer
the Commissioner of Pensions will make TO
the arguments of these gentlemen is that they
are pecuniarily interested in the defeat of the
measure, having invested largely in tho pen.
sion business, but such nm answer can have no
weight with the committee, when the inct is
considered that tho passage OF the bill would
secure to them their fee in all cases filed prior
to its approval without the expense and labor
OF completing them.
The Select Committee Of tho House of
Representatives appointed to inquire into tho
management Of the Pension Office would do
well to hear the arguments OF Mossrs, King
and Lennon, rs they will learn more from
them of tho real difficulties In the pension
service in thirty minutes than they can
ascertain by weeks Of research and investiga-
ton
No greater hardship or injustice no greater
outrage or ingratitude could be perpctratcd
upon the gallant men who perilod their lives
in our country's defense, than the adoption of
the absurd experiment proposed by Mr.. Bent
ley,
An enactment to wipe from the statute
books all pension laws would not more Ofrectu-
ally deprive these worthy people Of that
small monthly pittance than the passage Of
Sgnate bill No. 400.
That Commissioner Bentley should again
advocate tho bill after the summary manner
in which it was squelched by the Senate of
tho Forty.hfth Congress is rather surprising,
10 say the least
