But the wand of baleful magic has been extended at Washington, to cast a blight upon all this prosperity.

THE PENSION BUSINESS.

From its very foundation the United has dealt literally with the soldiers who fought the battles of it's success full wars: and there is no reason why the soldiers of the last should not be treated as liberally as those Of former wars. though the foe they fought was domestic and not foreign. The >eiY- ices they rendered were far more drdu- ous. and the results of incalculable value. The country's illimitable re- sources would render it far easier 10 pursue a liberal policy toward these latest defenders of the republic than It was when dealing with those of former generations.
 The soldiers of the revolutions the war of 1872 and the Mexican war were all given service pensions and land war rants which gave title to a quarter section anywhere on the public domain that the soldier or his assign elected to locate. There are men drawing the Mexican war pension who never leit the depot where they enlisted, the sud den termination of the war rendered their service unnecessary, and they were discharged without ever loading gun. Yet under the law they get the pension.
 No service pension has been granted soldiers of the last war, and they are required to reside upon their land claims to perfect title. But they en- ter no compilation that score. Their complaint is that payment of what has been granted is begrudged, and the contumely heaped upon them.
 A leaf from the history O. pension legislation is not out of place at this time. Under former enactments nc disability was questionable unless 1t could be traced te casualty in the line of duty, with the strongest proof to that effect. Asagecrept on thousands of such disabilities deyeloped witnes- ses to the casualty were dead and proof impossible. Alloyer the country aims houses had thousands of pauper in- mates who were disabled byarmy scry. ice. But they could not furnish tho rcouisite proofs and were not pension able. Their condition was a burning disgrace to the country for which they had suffered so much. To provide fol these cases the dependent pension bil was framed and enacted in 1887. Thh bin was vetoed by President Glcyclanc on the somewhat sentimental grouaC that a pension should boa badge oI honor and not badge of penury TC meet these objections tho disability pension bill was framed and became [ law in 1890. Underits provisions pres ent disability aud proof of service arc the requisites, This cured the case. the dependent pension bill was framed to meet. but lt gave pensions to thous ands who do not need them It alsl opened the door t0agrcat deafufiraud With n view to Investigating these frauds ana correcting abuses.
