DEATH OF r. S. STEVENS.

HANNIBAL Mo-. Feb. 2-Intelligence
was received here yesterday of the death
of Colonel r. S. Stevens at his home at
Attica, n. Y. Colonel Stevens was prom
inently connected with western railroads
a few years since, notably the Hannibal
and ST. Joseph and Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas, aud was one of a
party who laid out the first streets in
Denver. Colo. Years ago, when he was at
the head of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, congress passed bill to the effect
that one railroad only could build into
the Indian territory. The Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas and the Leavenworth,
Lawrence aud Gulf, now a division
of the Santa Fe, were both headed
in that direction, and an ex-
citing race began. James +. Joy
was at the head of the latter road, but
Colonel Stevens won by laying the track
on top of the ground without doing any
grading. 1t is also related that Colonel
Stevens saved the lives of thirty persons
at Lawrence, Kan, when the
notorious Quantrill raided the town
and murdered the citizens. A
death line had been formed, when Colonel
Stevens gave the Masonic sign aud Guam
trell, being member of that order, recog-
niZed him and spared the lives of all in the
line. Colonel Stevens estate amounts to
s., 000, GOO, and embraces property in Mis-
souri, and Kansas. His life was an event
full one indeed.

OF pensions can be expected to be
entirely free from mistake or fraud.
II by pension reform is meant
the correction of these mistakes
and the taking of extra pre-
cautions to guard against similar mis-
takes in the future nobody can say a
word against it. If the purpose of the
people who are shouting for pension re-
form is simply to purge the rolls of names
that have no moral right to be there they
need not fear any opposition.
There are grave suspicious, however,
that this is only a small part of what
they intend. Liketany promise the full
filment of which requires long continued
self-sacrifice the promise of the govern
ment of the United States to the men
who took part in the'war of the rebellion
has become irksome to a considerable
number of people. A generation has
grown up since the war, and a considera-

nature of things that these men can feel
the lively sense of gratitude to the
soldiers of 1868 which is experienced
by people who were witnesses of the
sacrifices that were made to restore the
Union. Furthermore large section of
this restored union is peopled by men
and their descendants who did their best
to destroy it, and to some Of whom it is
matter Of regret today that they did
not succeed. 1t is not according to hui
man nature that these men should CON
tribute for the love of it to a fund to
compensate. their conquerors. By the
majority of these men the pension fund
is looked upon as forced contribution
which they pay not because they want
to but because they must, and
which they which would be glad to
be rid of. OF course this element
is no more strongly antagonistic
to the payment of pensions to union vet
Grams than it has always been-not SO
strongly perhaps as it was Immediately
after the War-but it has now prospect
of getting material assistance in the
North from the element that feels the
burdens of the pension roll, but has lit
tie personal knowledge of the other side
of the account. While this element would
not deliberately agree to the annulment
OF the promises of the government
to the soldier, it is comparatively easy
to lead them into an indirect attack upon
those promises under the specious dis
guise of pension reform. There are signs
that this is what is being attempted, and
that the purpose Of the leaders of this
pension reform movement will not end
when the names of all fraudulent PEN
sioners are stricken from the rolls.
