THE UNIVERSAL PENSION QUESTION.
A Soldiers Opinion as to the Probable Ac
ton of the National Encampment.

The action of the Indiana Department of the
Grand Army of the Republic in indorsing the
Johnston universal pension bill does not indicate
anything as to what the National Encampment
will do on this question. The subject of pen
sions in the national organization is in the care
of a committee of seven Said one old soldier
yesterday, THAT committee is composed of level
headed men, and it is not probable they will be
carried away by the action Of any of the depart
ments in demanding a universal pension list
unless they, after the most careful
consideration Of the subject, think
the scheme practicable. The committee, in any
event, will pay attention first to increasing the
pensions Of widows, the equalizng of bounties
tho payment of pensions to ex-prisoners of war
and securing pensions for old soldiers after they
resch sixty five years of age. You see what the
committee has in hand is comprehensive, and
any pension recommendations to the National
Encampment will doubtless be confined to these
topics. The order is by GO means unanimous
for universal pensions. Many members believe,
as do that the count ry cannot do too much for
old soldiers. but they dospot want any appeals
for reward to be placed on plane of charitable
giving. This pension subject is big thing, and
will bear investigating, in order that the worthy
pensioners may not suffer on account of the
pleadings of the unworthy"
