Pensions.

Up to Tie present time the Presi.el

bills and vet.rd 80 unworthy ores Not

son. Yet from Republican papers come
the howl that his velors arc urjust and
cruel Why do they rot give the Presi-
dents reasons and lei their readers he
the judges. Chairman MATsoN, OF the
Invalid Pensions Committee OF the
House during the veto discussion, de.
clared thai every pension bill vetoed by
CLEVELAND bad previously been vetoed
by a Republican Commissioner Of Pen
sions. MATsoN completely exposed their
hypocrisy on the pension question. To
catch the soldier vote is their sole anil
only object. When the Republican party
was in power and responsible for the
conduct OF public affairs, Republican
Congressmen never dared TO advocate
the enormous appropriations that they
now advocate The Re, ublican party
had control Of affairs for nearly twenty
years after the war-ample time to have
given every soldier pension who was
justly entitled 10 one. Why did they no,
do III Now the Democratic party is re
sponsible and these Republican Con.
gressmen advocate and urge any and

ish appropriations. II they are endorsed
the result will be deficiency in the
Treasury and The Republican cry would
be waste OF public money
II the Democrat. oppose these appro.
pria'ions, their opposition would be used
to show that the Democratic party is the
enemy OF the soldier, as is attempted by
the Republican press no1.
About the 2lst OF April the Senate
passed 400 pension hills in psck, with.
out even taking time to read the titles.
The loyal people OF our country are not
asking such wholesale legislation.
A fair sample OF The pension bills ve-
toed by the President is one returned by
him few days ago, which granted
pension to o dead man. The truth is,
this bill passed Congress witbou: Con.
gresham knowing or perhaps caring
anything about Tue facts or merits OF the
case. Had the President been as negli.
gent of his duty as he majority Of both
houses were, he would have sanctioned
IL and thus put the country in the ridicu-
lous attitude OF searching the graveyards
and digging into q six months old grave
to pay the occupan: thereof a monthly
during bis natural life.
What hore 1t would have been to the
poor corpse.
Our Republican friends no doubt think
they bave made up smar, jnh on the
Democrats. II won't win. The people
Of this country are too honest and en-
tirely too intelligent to he Eum bueeed
by such political chicanerY. The fact; %
500 pension hills being approved By
CLEVELAND and only 80 vetoed is evil
ience enough that he is a friend OF the
country, and consequently friend of ,hp1
soldier.
