what seem ed to me my duty as relate d.
legislation and in the interest of all vet
Grams of the Union army, have attempt
ed to stem the tide of improvident pen
sion enactments, though l confess to
full share of responsibility for some of
those laws that should not have been
passed. | am far from denying that
there are cases of merit which cannot be
reached except by special enactments;
but | do not believe that there is a men,
Der of either house of Congress who will
not admit that this kind of legislation
has been carried too far. | have now be-
fore me more than 100 special pension
bills which can hardly be examined with
in the time allowed for that purpose.
My aim has been at all times, in dealing
with bills of this character, to give the
applicant for pension the benefit of any
doubt that might arise, which balanced
the propriety of granting a pension, il
there seemed any just foundation for the
application: but when it seemed entirely
outside of every rule, in its nature or in
the proof supporting it, / have supposed
that only did my duty in interposing
an objection. 1t seems to me that it
would be well if our general pension
laws should be revised with view of
meeting every meritorious case that can
arise. Our experience and knowledge of
any existing deficiencies ought to make
the enactment of a complete pension
code possible. In the absence of such a
revision, and if pensions are to be grant
ed upon equitable grounds without re-
gard to general laws, the present methods
would be greatly improved by the estab-
lishment of some tribunal to examine the
facts in every case and determine upon
the merits of the application
