The Fight Still Going On.
at is undeniably true that many thou
sands of eX-soldiers have discovered that
they were disabled during the war, who
would have made no such discovery if the
! arrearages bill had not been passed The
| immense numbers of new applications prove
! this, and the peculiar statements respecting
the alleged disabilities furnish additional
proof No more difficult duty could he
assigned to any Department or bureau than
that of deciding on most of these new claims.
To do Justice to claimants and at the same
time protect the public purse against unwar-
rantcd demands, is the aim of Commissioner
Dudley. A large fraction of our entire
annual income-mOre than five times the
footing Of the much-abused river and harboT
bills at the disposal of his Office,

1T is now eighteen years since
the war, and treasure by the milliOI
poured into the laps of the soldiers every
year Are they never to be paid in full for
doing their duty? No other nation, no other
country, no other people from the beginning
of the world down to date, ever did as much

reader, than you could count if you We're to

can stand it, but it is the Cowardice and
hypocrisy of the thing. / object to the
