Our friend Capt McGrath, Of the
Baton Rouge Tsuth, is strongly in
favor Of 4 law to pension all dis
abled soldiers who served their
country faithfully and loyalty and
were honorably discharged. The
Truth is right, and we heartily en-
dorse the scheme and re-echo every
sentiment expressed in the article.
IF the Federal government finds il
necessary to pension Union sol
diers, many Of whom are butslight-
" disableds Why should Louisiana
remain deaf to the appeals Of her
brave and gallant sons, who are not
only disabled, but badly crippled
for life. Have we lost our reverence
for the heroic deeds Of those who
fell on the roadside while gallantly
lighting fer the honor and protec-
ton Of our fairStateR Have We no
longer sympathetic emotions of pa
triotism and brotherIy feelings at
the sight of q Confederate veteran
disabled, crippled and poor !
Yes ; we have the same reverence
and love for our heroes, butwith
the lapse of time we sometimes for
get, while those we forget suffer.
We are glad that the Truth has
sounded the key note, and we hope
that the present Legislature will
act favorably on the suggestion SO
ably and periodically advanced by
Capt. McGrath.
