Report on the Bin to increase PEN
sions.

Representative Henry B. Lowering
of Massachusetts,, is in receipt of many
petitions urging the passage of lis bill,
introduced at the last session of congress,
providing for the payment OF a pension of
S. month to every officer, soldier, and
sailor who served in tho army. navy, or
marine corps of the United States for O
period Of not less than sixty days during
the late war and who was hOnorably dis
charged therefrom. The bill is now
pending before the house committee on
invalid pensions. Mr.. Lowering has pre-
pared report in its favor which he has
submitted to the committee. He esti-
mates that 100000 persons will be pro-
vided for by this bill involving an ex-
penditnre of $5s, oSO,0 900 per anuum upon
the allowance of all the claims. "rhis
BILL" he says, will benefit an.
other class of persons-all persons
now on the pension rolls and
hereafter to be placed upon the pension
rolls under claims now pending before
the pension Office and drawing sum less
than - per month, or those entitled to
receive under present laws less sum
upon the adjudication Of their claims, and
also those whose applications are now or
will hereafter be rejected.
Upon consulting the last annual report
of the commissioner Of pensions the con-
clusion is reached that about $1,000, 600
additional would be required for these
classes, making grand total of $66,0s0, 900
per annum.
That this annual amount will rapidly
decrease is 80 apparent that 10 Is not
deemed necessary to touch upon tho sub
ject.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN We
have borne with our military slavery for
years, and seeing no hope now from con-
gress, wo turn to The NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN to plead our cause and ask
public opinion to como to our relief. The
men employed In tho signal office hero
perform clerical duty in exactly the same
manner, and are in fact rs much clerks"
as any other of tho thousands in the va
rious executive departments. Yet they
arc treated merely as soldiers, and now
preparations are under way to drill the
100 enlisted men hero 80 as to swell tho
military display in tho parados on dedi-
cation Washington moDument) day, aud
on the day of tho Inauguration. Thus
we are the only ones Of tho thousands of
clerks hero who will be forced arbitrarily
to take part in the parades on these occa-
sions.
This is oppressive to us in various ways.
We must buy uniforms (no ono has them
now, cost, about S25. We will be de-
prived of two legal holidays; they think
n soldier has no right to holiday. We
will BIO sharply drilled for at least two
hours day, and in the meantime the
current Office work will get bohindhand,
and the final result will DO, as it was
ythlb hkOf Whou NO Wcht "
similar experience, that we will DO
obliged to work extra hours for many a
day to catch up with tho routine Office
work. A few days ago one Of the officers
on duty here told tho chief Of room,
when talking of this very result, 81 think
you will DO obliged to work evenings to
get your work up to date"
Gen. Hazen says we are insubordinate.
Can you feel surprise that such q feeling
exists when two men, working all day,
and day after day, at the same desk, sep
arate at the office door, one to go to his
home and the other to don q suit Of blue
and grab Sprinfeld rifle for an hour or
two because military law compels him to ?
One goes home as a man, because he is n
civilian clerk, and the other to more
work, like dog, because he is n soldier
In the name Of common humanity, why
do they not make us civilian employees
Have the adjutant generals or other bu-
reaus of the war department deteriorated
in any way, or has less efficient work
been done since the general service" was
abolished and the individuals transferred
to the civil establishment. In the name
of all common decency, why is not justice
done to us 2 or must we be kept as we are
to add glory to the train Of some brilliant
officer of high rank? SIGNAL.
