a society composed exclusively of veter-
ans of the war OF the rebellion. whose pur-
pose it is to reform existing abuses in the
pension law. is one of the probabilities of
the near future. It is proposed 10 found
this society in Washington with branches in
every locality throughout the country
where any considerable number of old sol
dierS reside. The pioneer IN this work of
the new crusade is Mr.. Allen FOote, at pres
ent employed as special agent of the United
States senators offices. F'oOte IS veteran
soldier of the late war He entered the
army as a private in the Third Michigan i'll
fantry. June. 1861. and remained in service
until the surrender at Appotomax. He is
an intelligent student of political economy,
and has given much thought TO pension leg
islation of the past three decades He be-
ieveS il is in the main wrong. He believes
that one-third who receive benefit are not
entitled to il. Another third, who are en-
titled, do not need it. \ remaining third
who are helpless and incapacitated for
work, ought to receive far more than they
do. He argues from this that twO-thirds of
the pensioners ought TO be stricken from
the list by congressional enactment. Such
proceedings would reduce the annual apprO-
priation $40, 001, 600 TO so, 00O.a00. FoOte
believes that the work Of reforming pension
abuses must come from within, and not
from without He believes that neither
party dare deal honestly with the question,
notwithstanding its obvious Importance to
taxpayers of the country. His idea is that
the veterans themselves should first move
in the matter, and urge upon their repre-
Sentatiyes ii congress such notifications of
the law as will limit its benefits strictly to
the deserving class. He has already re-
ceived assurance from a number of Grand
Army of the Republic friends in Washing
ton that they will cooperate with him IN
this movement, and the formation aud re-
Foote believes that the society year hence

that its moral influence will operate as a
powerful auxiliary In securing proper con-
