THE PENSION LAWS.
PROVISIONS OF THE OLD AND THE
NEW ACTS OF CONGRESS-.
Facts for Veterans.

The new pension law grants pensions
in many cases where no provision was
made therefor under the old law. The
following statement shows the provisions
of the old and new law. Veterans will
find the following handy for ready refer
ence:
INVALID PENSIONS.
OLD LAw-Persons disabled to any de-
gree for the performance of manual labor,
by reason of any wound or injury receiv-
ed or disease contracted in the line of
duty while in the military service of the
United States, are entitled to pension
The lowest rate under this law is 81 a
month and the highest rate, for loss of
both hands, is 800 per month. Pension
begins from the date of originally filing
the application or, if filed before July l,
1880, from the date of discharge.
Increase of pension is granted with in
crease of disability. Many pensioners
are entitled to higher pensions than they
are now drawing. But increased ratings
are not made without application there
for.
NEW LAw-Any person who served 80
days or more in the military or naval
service of the United States during the
late war and has been honorably dis
charged, now suffering from mental or
physical disability of permanent char
acter, not the result of his own vicious
habits, which incapacitates him from the
performance of manual labor in such a
degree as to render him unable to earn a
support, is entitled to pension at the rate
of from Sc to S12 per month, proportion
ed to the degree of inability to earn a
support, beginning from the date of filing
the application in the pension office after
the passage of the new law, July 1, 1890.
The disability need not be traced to the
service in any manner. Its present eX-
istence is all that is required. Persons
placed upon the pension roll under this
law are not entitled to any rate of pen
sion in excess of S12.
WIDOWS OF SOLDIERS.
OLD DLAw-A pension of S12 per month
is granted to any widow of a soldier who
can show that her husbands death was
due to causes incident to his military
service. Pensions to widows under the
old law begins from the date of the hus-
bands death and continues at the rate of
S12 per month until death or remarriage.
Application may be filed at any time,
even after remarriage.
New LAVA pension of S8 per month
is granted to any widow of a soldier who
served 80 days or more during the late
war and has died, leaving his widow with
out any other means of support than her
daily labor The cause of death need not
be traced to the service. Pension begins
from the date of filing of the application
after passage of the law, July l, 1890.
MINOR CHILDREN.
OLD LAw-If a pension is granted to
widow, she will receive 50 per month ad-
ditional for each child of the soldier un

idiOtic or otherwise permanently helpless,

DEPENDENT PARENTS.
OLD LAw-The mother of any soldier
or sailor who died in the United States
service or from the results of such ser
vice is entitled to pension, if, at the date
of his death, she had no sufficit nj means
of support beside her own labor, and the

tributions of others not legally bound to
their support. The new law dispenses
with proof that the parents were depen-
dent at the date of soldiers death and
hIlH plOOI VI IliO pIl1
ity to support himself by his own manual
labor. The pension begins from the date
of making application after the date July
l, 1890,) of the passage of the act.
RIGHTS UNDER BOTH LAWS.
Persons now receiving pensions under
the old law, or whose claims are now
pending, may apply for or receive pension
under the new law. Any person entitled
under both laws may make application
for both pensions at the same time and
obtain either to which he can show him
self entitled, or he can obtain one pen
sion and thereafter prove his right to the
other But no person is allowed to draw
pension to cover the same period under
both laws. He may take either one which
gives him the greatest advantage, and
may take one for one period and the
other for another.

TUURsDAY.JULY 10, 1880.
DFlr0cPAcyW TROUBLE.


THE fact that Congress has the termed
effrontery and total disregard for Dem
ocratic wishes to propose to enact into
law measure designed to secure fair
elections and unrestrained freedom of
the ballot, has thrown our Democratic
contemporaries into convulsions. The
editor of the Gazette had his fit last week
and frothed about home rule, a menace
to the republic, usurpation, treason, and
more such silly twaddle. He rolled out
the spirit of rs, ripped it open and
yelled: "Hands off the ballot box" The
sudden love for the purity of the ballot
box manifested by the Gazette would be
amusing were it not SO palpably feigned
and hence disgusting.
1t is not dishonest elections which the
Gazette fears, but elections where every
man can vote and have that vote prop
erly counted. With this kind of cleo
tions the hope of Democratic triumph
would shift glimmeringly down the
yistas of things not to come.
The cost of carrying out the provisions
of the bill is largely exaggerated, but an
honest election is worth any price, and
when the Democratic party dons the
garb of justice, then will the law not
cost a cent. An honest man has nothing
to fear from law, and only the dishonest
bewail the enactment of restrictions on
outlawry and crime. For this reason is
the Federal Election law to be enacted,
and for the same reason does the Dem
ocratic party oppose it.
If the party to which the Gazette be-
longs will stop its intimidation and
deviltry, there will be no reason for
putting the provisions of the bill into
effect, but so thoroughly schooled in
fraud is it that doubtful it is whether
the party could, if it wished, act honestly.
AS a gentle reminder to the Gazette
we would recall the Cincinnati frauds:
which every respectable paper and citizen
in the State decried, and ask who
committed them? AS personal re-
minder to the editor of that sheet, We
we would ask who distributed the $50
bills among the heelers of the Democratic
party just prior to the election last fall?
1t well becomes the Gazette to prate
about treason when every act of treason
against our government was evolved
from the mind of Democrat. 1t shows
consistency to talk about the preserva-
tion of the rights of the people by the
Democratic party when that party has
always been on the wrong side of every
important and humane question. Hon
est elections we must have, and the yells
sent up by those who uphold intimida-
tion and even murder will be of no
avail in this crisis. If an honest election
costs hundred millions, it is worth it,
and the money is well spent. The
principle involved reckons not the cost.

at is not true, as Bishop Potter as
serts, that under any of the proposed
legislation can every skulking camp fol
lower and deserter who has the effrontery
to demand pension come in. That is
not true, and it is slanderous and mis-
chievous to make such statement.
But let me assure the Bishop that the
Congress which he talks about being
ready to give pension to every skulking
deserter will not act foolishly. When

OPPONENTS of the Federal Election
bill argue that as rule colored citizens
in the South are not interfered with in
their right to vote, says the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette. There is not so
much interference with the right to vote
as there is a failure to count the votes
after they are cast. The Federal Election
bill contempiates the honest counting as
well as the fair casting of ballots. Hence
the objection among our Democratic
friends.
