that the people Of this Republic will indorse
such parsimony in dealing with the men whose
valer and sacrifices were the salvation of the
Nation. Congress can do as it sees fit with
frequency; but it is morally certain that
the American people will not give their
Endorsement to any such niggardly and unpa-
triotic policy. The men who fought the bat
ties of this country are worthy of decent treat
ment. and it is not to be thought of that they
should be slapped in the face when they are
not able to establish to the letter, as inter
preted by man hostile to them, that they
rendered invaluable service when it can be
proved by thousands that they fought and
suffered with the best who went to the front
In the chaos of war there must of necessity be
multitudes of cases wherein soldiers of splen-
did courage and undoubted patriotism would
have some little flaw in the army rolls. Were
the President half so anxious to do Justice to
the Union veterans as he was to get General
Porter back on to the rolls of the army, there
would be no occasion to sheer at the manned
veterans who gave up their lives, and many of
them escaping with their lives, only to crawl
back to their homes the wreck of what they
would have been but for their service on the
field. There will be an accounting called for
when the next opportunity is offered.

drink what beer he chooses. The only ques-

cotting Ehret because he did not testify to
suit them in court. In short, they are boy
cotting him because lie did not perjure him
self. If it could be proved that there was
conspiracy to ruin his business on account of
his testimony in court there might be made
out very strong case against these men; but
as it is, there would seem to be no cause for
action.

IF there be method in the Presidents veto
madness, it has not been developed nor pro-
claimed. 1t is not thing to be proud of, and
his friends have not had the courage to alp
plaud it. Congress passed bin for the relief
of Mrs. Bradley, of New Hampshire, increas-
ing her pension from 81 to So per month. Mrs.
Bradley is the widow of Union soldier, and
had four sons in the army two of whom lost
their lives in the service another an arm,
and the fourth an eye. Five soldiers from her
family, and now, at the age of seventy, and
with her support gone, the government pays
her 81 month, less than $50 year! The
Pension Bureau being unable to do anything
for her, the case is taken to the only place it
can be properly attended to, and Congress
votes her the modest pension of SIS month,
less than 800 year. When the bill comes
to the President for approval he coolly vetoes
it, with the comment that he is not sure
whether gift in such case is proper dis
tribution of money appropriated for paying
pensions" In striking contrast with this case
is that of the widow of General Hardie, who
has been in the enjoyment of pension of $50
a month. Congress passed bill to increase
this to $50 month, and this bill the Presi-
dent signed without hesitation, and apparent
ly without any misgivings as to the propr;ety
of the same. One son of the widow of Gen.
Hardie is in the regular service and another
is in possession of position under the gov
eminent worth 81, 600 year.
1t is not questioned that there are cases
wherein the President is justified ,ia- exercis-
ing his constitutional prerogative in vetoing
pension bills; but it must be conceded that
Congress has some right to pass such bills
aud to have them treated with the considera-
tion due the acts Of body of that character
The President has shown disposition to cut
and slash at random, or rather according to
his pleasure, and without regard to the facts
of the case. Passing to the reasons presented
by the House for passing such bills, which
generally recites that the the beneficiary was
kept out of rights by the operation of the
rules governing such cases, he employs that
as the reason for vetoing the same! In other
words, he makes ground for rejection the
very reason that compelled Congress to take
action. And not content with the rejection
he generally puts in some sting like that in
connection with his veto of the bill increas-
ing the pension of Mrs. Bradley to the beg
carly sum of So month. The shame of
such an attitude is in the fact that the
President seems to have no policy in it, but
allows his prejudice or whim to decide what
shall be done in each case. That he does not
and cannot investigate these cases has al
ready been made plain. The Democratic
party will hardly make the Presidents vetoes
a campaign document in the next election.
