Thomas E. Rochfort, representing The New-fork

MEXICAN WAR PENSIONS.

The prompt passage by the House of the
bill to increase the pension of Mexican SOL
diers and their widows from So to S12 q
month, shows the hypocrisy of those Repre-
sentstives who are inveighiDg against the
pensions to Union veterans and their
widows. While we believe that the Mexi-
can veterans are fully entitled to the ad-
vance, for they did great work for the
country, yet the service they rendered bore
no comparison to that exacted of Union SOL
diers. The term of service was but one
year, and all are pensioned who served 60
days, either IN Merico, on the borders thereof,
or on the way thereto. Those that actually
came into contact with the enemy fought
very well, though but small proportion OF
them ever saw an armed Mexican. The
total number Of volunteers in the war was
73, 756, of whom 613 were killed, or about
one in every 100.
The men furnished by each State, and the
MN, bar killed rcJl

A CHATTANOOGA SCHEME.

The Chattanooga Times's scheme is to
strike from the pension rollse every man who is
rich. or even we'll to- do or who draws salary
from the State or National Governments; also
all who have fixed income or earn their liy-
ing by employment by any corporation or
private individual. This would make the
pension roll "a roll of honor" indeed. 1t
would rather make it pauper roll Of the
worst kind. No man who could or would
earn a dollar by his own exertions would be
allowed place upon it. This would be in
famously unjust. A pension is payment for
services rendered. and disabilities incurred
by that service. The Government has abso-
lutely no business whatever with the present
circumstances of the pensioner. It pays
him its debtor rather pays an insignif-
can't portion of the debit incurred for the
services rendered and injuries received
What he may receive from other sources has
nothing whatever to do with the case. To
talk about taking away pension because
the pensioner is making little money out
side of his pension is as mean and dishonest
as it would be for any private debtor to re-
fuse to pay his debts because he believed
his creditor did not need the money, and
could make living without it.
AS matter of fact there are coInpara-
lively few pensioners who are at all rich.
There arc few who are even well-to-do The
talk abont the great number of these ia all
fudge. The vast majority of pensioners are
men who were so injured by their service
that they are unable to compete in the wage
market with men who did not endure the
hardships and brave the perils that they did
Their little pensions go little way to equal
ize matters, but are far from going the whole
way. Too many of them are so disabled
that they can only get employment as watch
men, messengers, and similar duty, which is
very poorly paid, and their pensions are
necessary to enable them to exc out de-
from these would be an intolerable mean
ness and cruelty. There is no sort Of iusti-
fication for taking any mans pension away
who has earned it,
