pension, which am heartily In favor
Of, but the general treatment Of tho
members by ex-soldiers.
I firmly believe that were 1t possible
the entire delegation from Kansas
would gladly zee every ex-soldief
granted liberal pension at once. But,
when q case is rejected by the Pension
Bureau, 1t Is the habit Of the friends Of
the claimant to lay the whole blame
upon the Representative from their
district, It matters not how hard the
Representative may have labored for
success. / have . case 10 point In our
own Second District. The claimant
was blind aud needy; the case had
been rejected by the Democratic ad-
ministration. re-opened, . special ex:
aminer ordered to make an additional
report by the present rehabilitation,
end the case made 'speciap at the
personal request Of our Member, but
finally rejected again. And In the
face Of ali this the blame was laid upon
the Republican party IN general and
our Congressman In particular BY the
friends Of the claimant, and insulting
letters were written, containing threats
Of dire vengeance. Now, what en-.
couragement 10 there to do anything
for the average old soldier? Neither
he nor bis friends appreciate 1t.
From what I can observe there 10 no
show for the Service Pension bill ct
this session. The dependent bill,
shorn Of its pauper feature. will be
passed, and possibly some minor bills
liberalizipg the laws, but beyond this
our friends need not expect Congress
to 60. And II, upon sober second
thought, the ex-soldiers desire to place
future success In the hands OF their
enemies, the Democratic party, % be
1t They alone will be the sufferers.
The Farmere' Alliances are oppos-
ing fai ther grants to the ex.UniOn SOL
diers, and what have our friends to say
to THE? Have not their demands al

will defeat any further concessions?
Let me advise you, Comrades, to be
more considerable and respectful In
your petitions and success will finally
be your recompenee.
