WILL THE CONFEDERATE THINK when
the People party holds its reunion of the
blue and the gray nt Omaha we wonder if
any thinking will be done. The platform of
that party proposes to increase enormously
tho pension payments to federal veterans.
The old confederates who came ont of the
war beaten, despo led and ruined, has struc-
gled upward gradually, bearing many heavy
burdens, One of the heaviest has been his
share of the pensions paid the soldiers of
me other side. Much of this he has paid
like man without grumbling, as part of
the penalty Of defeat, n tribute levied by
the conquerers on the conquered. Now,
however, he may begin to think that the
tribute is becoming moro than is ,ioht.
Nobody has helped him. No public treasury
hos been opened to him. lie has scuffl ed
along, sometimes on one leg, sometimes
with one arm, and done the best he could
Even iu his own section he is becoming out
OF date. lie is told that youngar and
shlitlcr men must come to the front and that
war service does not count any more by
comparison with service to now political
gods and in packing and manipulating con-
ventions and proclaimiug new doctrines of
politics without knowing anything about
them.
Remembering all these things, we wonder
whether the Confederate survivor nj tho
Omaha reunion will not look upon his fed
eral brother of the Peoples party to whom
the wealth OF the country has been bonn,i-
fuily-poured out. aud wonder if ho is not
already paying full share of tribute, if he
Is not being sufficiently draiued for all Irac-
tical purposes.
The Peoples party has many poets. One
OF them should paraphrase for The reunion
during the convention q familiar verse and
make it read like this
