not unheard of before in this cavernous
country. A man with two horses was
breaking up field for corn, when sud
denly the ground gave way under one o.
the horses, and he sank so deep into the
earth as to be smothered to death in 9
short time The harness was quickl!
taken from him else he would have
pulled the other horse in after him.

The sixth clause would rob the veterans
Of the services Of q trained and skillful at
torney by denying such decent cOmpensa-
ton. No lawyers in the whole country do
so much work for as meager fees as pension
attorneys, and without their assistance there
would be exceedingly few pensions granted.
No attorney of any ability whatever would
waste time on pension case for a fee Of 81,
or anything like il, and consequently the
only way a veteran could get a competent
man TO attend TO his case would be as a
matter Of friendship OF charity. This is the
real reason for this clause. The pretense
that ii is desired TO save money for the vet
Grams is vile hypocrisy. The actual motive
is that il will virtually stop pension getting,
especially under the proposed laws, when it
viii be more than ever necessary for the
veteran to have the assistance of a capable
attorney, well versed in all the subtleties
and einbarrassments Of pension practice.
Brutality mean as the preceding clauses
are, they are surpassed in malignant inge-
nuity by the last, which proposes to establish
an every Township and County petty little
star chambers composed wholly Of civil
ians that is, of Copperheads and stay-at-
homes, or selfish young political heelers-
who will become the receptacles and agents
OF all the neighborhoOd spites and animosi-
ties. They will goad and nag the veteran
constantly with fear of loss of his pension.
If he doesn't vote just as the political bosses
want him, or If his chickens happen 10
scratch up the garden of one of the mem
bcrs Of the tribunal" of Will 70 his pen
sion. Every mean, vindictive man, who
hated the soldiers during the war, or who
hates them now, will strive TO get on the
" tribunal 10 wreak his spite.
As We have said before, this program is
the mildest, most conservative proposition
made by the organized pension-haters The
great mass Of them urge still more destruc-
tive measures. II they succeed this scheme
is the gentlest treatment we can hope for.
We shall be exceedingly fortunate II we get
no worse than il threatens.
