Pensions.

Mr.. Editor:
Many persons have formed an opinion
that it is very easy task, for an ex-soldier
to Obtain pension, and that, consequently,
many are drawing pensions who do not de-
serve them.
Now | happen TO know many All ex-sol-
der who has concealed his deformi,ies, dis
abilities. scars, and wounds tor years from
some of his most intimate acquaintance
who were surprised, when they discovered,
of late. that he was disabled man and was
drawing a pension. There is deiicscy and
a shrinking of once vigorous man. proud
Of his strength and health. in owning up to
being an invalid. Man, soldier renem-
bers the sickeDing reluctance With which he
entered the Invalid corps-a body of troops
made up entirely of crippled and diseased
men-and he remembers the derisive re-
marks made abou, this most worthy body of
soldiers.
No man with a. spark of manhood about
him ever wished TO parade his wounds, or
his diseases 10 the gaze of a curious public
aud he who makes an unfteing attack on
man who draws pension, better inform
himself, abe iher the man is a fraud or not.
Note this remark: "What does C.-draw
a pension for? don't believe he deserves
it; it is an outrage and robbing Of the tax
pa,er, Why. he is as able-hodled as any
man in town of his age" That man, Mr..
Editor, draws the muniticent sum of Sis
per wear. and carries on his head long,
deep sabre cut fiom a rebel sabre; swings
an injured leg and has one other very ser-
Gus iuiur, all received IN the line Of duty,
while in tie army: and because he. and his
fellow pensioners. do not disrobe and show
their wounds and intirmilics 10 every one
who sn.ahel out of the responsibilities of
1861. or was too cowardly to euilst, he is
denounced a. fraud have noticed that
these Internal and traitornus remarks are
airIys made b, persons who were not in
the service themselves nor had an, blood

a conscience contribution Of five dol
lars has jus! been received at the Navy De
partment. the first ever known to have been
sent there. L wis from Boston The Secretary
OF the Treasury - received one Of twenty
two dllIars, from New YORK, and short
time ago one Of S9Ij po>t-marked Boston,
Every now and taen some anonymous per
son forwards to the Treasury of the United
States contribution to the conscience fund.
Many may suppose from such announce

ury separate fund made up of these con
tributons from the conscience stricken, and
that it must he of considerable size But
such contributions have always been Gov

science fund was the invention Of Treas
urer Spinner. Twenty years ago letter
was one ,av received at the Treasury De-
pattment from a man who, incloslng a
check of 81. so, said it represented little
nisappropriation of Government funds Of
which he had been guilty. Treasurer Spinner
said "We will call that a contribution to
the conscience fund. We will have it an
nounced in the papers, and perhaps we'll
get some more" The announcement was
daly made and the Treasury promptly got
more. From thst time on for ten years the
IlirInV
the past ten years they have been growing
more infrequent. 1t is not known whether
this is in consequence of the conscience of
the country growing more callous or more
tender. The largest contribution ever sent
was 5000. the smallest nine cents. 1t is
estimated BY Treasury officials that the total
amount of these contributions would be- /
shout $780, 900.

CINCINNATI, May 29-Speaker Carlisle
was here Wednesday on his way home to
Covington from Washington He said he
thought President Cleveland's course mer-
tied the support and confidence Of his party.
He was proceeding with great caution in
all he did, being animated solely desire to
consult the public welfare. Any mistakes in
appointments might be set down as due to
imperfect information. He was very busy and
complaints of the slowness Of the admin
istration's movements were unjust 1t should
also be remembered that of late years the
operations and patronage of the govern
ment have vastly increased in extent Those
who suppose the entire body of employees,
who have charge of these vast interests, can
be suddenly changed without detriment to
the public service, are very much
mistaken. But this does not mean that the
party which has received the endorsement
of the people shall not control the govern.
ment 1t means simply that inconsiderate
action will be avoided, and that due care
will be exercised in determining the times
and places in which changes can properly
be made

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1885-05-29

NEW YORK, May 90 The Sun prints the
following special cablegram from London:
Mr.. Parnell is completing his list of candi-
dates for those of the Irish counties and
boroughs which he considers it worth while
to contest at the general elections in Novem-
Der. He is making up the list with the
view of capturing as many of the hitherto
Tory constituencies as possible by putting
his strongest men in ;ae doubtful places,
where their personal popularity. aided by
coalitions with the Liberals where these are
practicable, may turn the scale against the
Tories. Those boroughs, mainly in the
south of Ireland which may be
safely counted on to return National
ist members are to lie furnished
with weaker candidates, whom it would
not do to rely upon in Ulster. In car
rying out this system Mr. Parnell has
bsen compelled to change the candidates
around with very little regard as members
or for the wishes Of the constituencies to
which they are assigned. In fact, the con-
stituents have hardly been consulted at all,
and there is much grmnbiag in consequences.
The complaints generally come from the
strong home-rule constituencies, which do
not want to be deprived of their favorite
members. They are ans wered by appeals to
their patriotism 10 let their champions go to
capture new fields.
