VOICES OF THE PRESS.
The Unworthy Prosecuting the Worthy.
New York Press.)


The developments of the past week In
the pension line furnish striking proof that
the Democratic hue and cry against the
pensioners is a case of the unworthy versus
the worthy. Readers of The SUNDAY
Pres. will remember the expose which we
made Of the true inv ardness of the action
If Farnham Post against the pensioning of
anybody not absolutely dependent on a
PENSION for his bread and shelter. The
Farnham Post resolution was instigated by
John Finn, 4 Disappointed applicant for
pension under the dependent pension act
IF 1890, u real estate owner, a salaried Of
flee holder and shareholder in an iron
foundry. who had fought so shy Of having
his Grand Army comrades testify to his
fitness for a pension that they did not know
he was an applicant, and were completely
taken in. Firms military record is said to
consist of one extremely rapid movement
from the battlefield Of Bull Run to New
port News.
Such 10 the sort of influence backing the
unjust raid on worthy pensioners. Now
look at the specimen results brought TO
light within the last few days. John Shir-
ley, a totally disabled veteran living at
Bristol. Ontario county, in this State, has
lost his pension, a small one, which barely
supported him and WAS his only source of
income. He has been taken to the asylum
at Ovid to keep him from starving to death.
Anthony Schotts, a veteran living in High
lands, near Denter, became insane last
Thursday on hearing that his pitiful little
pension of IS month had been cut off.
This sort of cutting off is going on at the
rate of $50 pensions day. or nearly 1000
week. 1t is cruel hardship to the vast
majority of the victims. Commander in
Chief Weissert told Grand Army camp
fire at Canton, Ohio, last week there is
not man on the pension rolls today who
wasn't placed there honestly and just As the
pension laws required him to be-"
Yet lioke Smiths guillotine works away
regardless of the common fairness which
allows even criminals presumption
of innocence till they are found guilty.
The ssviors of their country are treated
worse than murlerers. 1t is presumed by
the administration that they are guilty of
fraud. and they are convicted and SEN
fenced to loss of their incomes without
trial until they collect additional evidence
and insist on another hearing. Many of
them are too old. too poor, and now, no
doubt, too much dishesrtened by the ingrat-
itude of the men who claim TO represent
their country, eysr to reopen their cases.
The mal,reatment of these old soldiers,
who deserve the tendercst care that CRATE
full nation can provide. is the blacklist stain
upon the record of the Cleveland admins
,dstion. Victor Hugo wrote the History
of Crime. but this is the Crime of =
