Brave Words and True.


On Monday Senator Cameron, Of Pennsylvania,
in the course of his remarks on his resolution to
abolish internal revenue taxes, said:
II want to say word here about the Arrears
of Pension Act This act never should be re-
pealed, and in my judgment it never will or can
be. It has lately been held up to contempt by
that class Of people who twenty years ago were
engaged in exhorting these same pensioners to
90 to the front, and who now object to reward
ing them; but their opinion is not shared by the
people at large; in fact, more essentially just
law was ever placed upon the statute-b book. It's
effect is simply and solely to prevent the Gov
erment from pleading the statute of limitation
against it's former defenders. 1t did not increase
the rate of pension in any way whatever, but
merely said that man entitled to pension for
physical injury received in Government service
should not be debarred from receiving it because
he was Late in making his application. To the
payment of these pensions every sentiment of
honesty and gratitude should hold us firmly
committed"
The foregoing shows that the Senator is apt
at hitting the nail on the head, and leaves no
room for doubling his full sympathy with the
pensioners and loyal people generally in their
approval of the Arrears Act

MY DEAR KNIFFIN: l enclose one dollar,
which please pay to THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
and have it sent to me.
1 have read your contributions, or rather the
published extracts from your forthcoming book,
Kentucky in the War, with world of pleasure
and satisfaction. Your book is going to be a

Who is Beck?

The appropriateness Of Senator Becks opposi-
tion to the Arrears of Pension Bill will be more
apparent when it is remembered that he never
riskes his life in battle, but was so belligerent
with his tongue against the United States Gov
eminent as to render it necessary to run away
from Kentucky to avoid arrest by General Bur-
bridge under the general order of General Sher-
man to arrest all rebellious citizens whe gave aid
and comfort to the enemy, and send them through
the lines to their friends in the so-called confed
The National tribune., 1882-01-21

SENATOR Beck recently used the following
language on the floor of the Senate when
speaking Of the Arrears of Pension Act: at is
. fraud upon the American people, and a stand
ing monument to the ignorance, selfshness and
cowardice Of the American Congress"
Can it be possible that the honorable gentle
man has forgotten that he was a Senator when
the measure to which he refers was made law,
and that by not voting against it he virtually
became party consenting to the alleged fraud !?
And will the honorable gentlemen please inform
the loyal soldiers of his own State and of the
country, and also the loyal men of his own party,
if he wishes to be understood as charging such
stalwart Democrats as Herman, Mcpherson, Voor-
hees Thurman, Mcdonald, Hill, Wallace, and
Jones of Florida, who voted for the measure, with
perpetrating fraud upon the American people?
Nr. Beck may himself be very brave, but his
neglect to vote against tee Arrears Act when he
could have done so, and bis present cowardly
attack upon those who opsaly and honestly
favored it without regard to party affiliations,
are not calculated to sustain that reputation for
conscientious discharge of duty, honesty of pur-
pose, brilliancy as statesman, and moral
courage to do right which he is apparently en-
deavOring to arTOgate 10 himself

CHANGE OF PENSION AGENCY.

The President has issued the following executive
order:
Ordered That on and after February 1, 1892 an
agency for the payment of pensions shall be estab-
lished at Augusta in the State of Maine, and that
all pensioners residing in the State of Maine and
now paid at Concord, n H., viii thereafter be paid

The National tribune., 1882-01-21

WHEN THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE first under
took the defense Of the Arrears of Pension Law
it was unsupported by any other prominent
journal of the country. 1t was opposed by the
New York Herald, Tribune, Times, Post, Mail
Express, Philadelphia Times and Press Buffalo
Courier, Pittsburg Post, and a majority of the
leading papers of the West To-day the editors
of the papers We have named and the rascals
who are backing them up in their vile attempts
to bring dishonor upon the soldier are on trial
before the loyal people of the Nation. We have
forced them to point where they must either
furnish proofs of the frauds they allege exist
or else be forever debarred the right to associate
with honorable men everywhere.
1t is gratifying to us to know that the coarse
Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE in relation to this
matter is approved and sustained by the unani-
nous voice of those who fought for and saved the
Union, and also by our loyal Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress. The fight is not yet
over, but we believe we have got our enemies
"on the rup," and we intend to follow them up
until they hide their vile carcasses in some out
of-the-way place where they can no longer be
an offense to decent people OF do them harm.

OF Interest to Prisoners of War.

Commissioner Dudley has prepared two new
rules governing the requirements of evidence in
pension claims in which the disability is alleged
to have been contracted or incurred in Southern
military prisons during the war which are very
commendable. Their effect will be to simplify
the business of his Office greatly, besides doing
aJust but at the same time most kindly and
thoughtful act in behalf of large class of
worthy claimants. We shall publish the rules
in full next week

A PERTINENT QUERY,

Yesterday, when Senator ingalls, accepted the
responsibility for the Pension Arrears Bill, Mr..
Beck, who had made speech the day before,
declaring it was an infamous measure, as could be
easily proved, had to cry for mercy and time to
"get his proof" If the bill was as bad as these
Democrats-who, of course, have no especial love
for the soldierhave been declaring how is it that
the proof was not at hand ?-Neac York ConenerciGt

would repeal, had he the power-in fact, had he

NOTHING is impossible with God nor with
man, when acting within his proper sphere. 1t
is only when a mortal seeks to transcend the
objects for which he was created-when he en-
deavors to exercise the prerogatives of Divinity
that he fails in the accomplishment of whatever
he undertakes and persistently adheres to.

The war then, has cost Brown $10,197 over and
above the amount paid him by the Government
for his services, not including medical attendance
since, which has averaged SIS per year for eigh-
teen years. To-day he is, at AZ years of age, an
old, broken-down man, burden to himself and
everybody about him. All the pleasant visions
that cheered his youth vanished in the smoke of
battle The fountains of his love have never
beer caused to send forth their sparkling waters
in response to a wife's kiss of affection or the
sound of childish voices ever musical to fathers
ear. Without home, without friends to care
for him, and without hope of ever lettering his
condition in this world, he fingers on, and drags
his sick and crippled form up and down earth's
great highway, a deserving object for the COM
passion Of Christ.-.n men and women everywhere
who love the Union and respect and admire
loyalty to the Flag And yet, this poor, MANNED,
and WORKOUT veteran, who should be receiving
the tenderest care Nations love can render is
being charged by such vile sheets as the New
York Tribune, Herald, Post and Times, with being
a fraud-with drawing money from the United
States he has never earned. They say he was
never entitled to the arrears which the Govern
ment gave him; that he had already been amply
compensated for all his services-allh his suferings
What, we ask, can compensate for such suffer
ings as he has undergone? What can balance
the account of wrecked form and wasted life?
What can make up for the loss of all those enjoy
ments which youth, health, and manly vigor de-
light in? Can money? No. The Nation may
pour out it's wealth upon Brown in streams of
Millions and yet his stalwart youth will never
return gold cannot restore his strength, nor the
bright future he so willingly sacrificed; but it
may help smooth his pathway to the grave. That
is all. But to do even this it should not be given
grudgingly. 1t should not be paid under pro-
test. Nor should he who receives it be accused
of dishonesty for taking what he has SO faithfully
and laboriously earned-earned at the expense
of all that renders life pleasant.
1t is high time for the Nation to learn to be
both just and generous to all the men, who, like
Brown, served so faithfully when help was sorely
needed. And we hope to hear no more pickering
over the amounts which have been or are to be
paid to them out of the National Treasury They
have fairly and mere than earned all that has
been received by or promised to them, and no
man or set of men should be permitted to ques-
ton the justice of what has been done
