pension law was passed. Then the
agent said to nm; Il can get your
discharge and also your pension"
Aud he did. he now gets Sl2 per
month and gets on a drunk every
time he draws hrs money. Before he
got on the list he SAID: "When boun-
ty jumpers and de,'erters get pensions
l will get one" He makes fun OF the
men who carried a musket three
years; says he is just as good as they
are and had a good Deal better time.
OF the same fraudulent pensioner
the report says:
His son says that his father jumped
$1,000 worth Of bounty and took the
nc ney TO Canada, where he kept a
ga milling house. He gets $l2 a
mo nth.

Z [e gets SIS a month. He enlisted,

He never heard a bullet whistle.
O the fourth:
II enlisted, went as far as Spring
tietI, ILL, stayed three months and
ca n,e home discharged. He gets SIT
per month.
OF the fifth:
He went as far as Detroit, where
he was on provost duty. He gets SIT
a month.
OF the sixth:
He enlisted in a company Of Ian
GERS, and when the company reported
for duty they were told that men
without guns were not wanted. The
men would not take guns, SO they
were sent home He gets Sl2 per
month.
| Of the seventh:
He was sent as far as Springfield,

pension under the last law.
OF the eighth:
He got pension by swearing he

He was always what was called cop

Of the ninth:
He was three years in q GONZALES

reb," He gets SIG a month, and has
tried to get it raised.
Here are nine cases from a single
town in Michigan, In Denver such
instances could be multiplied until
the aggregate pensions paid fraudu-
lently upon perjured claims would
amount to thousands Of dollars
monthly. What is true of Denver
and Detroit will also apply with
equal force to every city IN the Coun-
try. This is a matter which affects
every old soldier. He has an honest
right to the protection afforded him
by the pension laws, but the men who
by fraud have placed themselves up.
on the same plane have no right to
the protection.
The department of Colorado should
take active stops IN the matter and
for the credit of the honest old SOL
der purge the pension list in the
state. A record of fraudulent claims,
together with a list Of pensions,
fraudulently obtained, should be pre-
pared and presented to the pension
commissioner. Such action would be
appreciated by the pension depart
ment. The commissioner acts upon
affidavits, and where these are clear
upon their face, he acts favorably up.
on the petition. Were other avenues
of evidence offered, the fraud in the
bulk of these claims would in all
probability be discovered. 1t is the
policy Of the commissioner to avoid
perpetratlng q wrong even to the
most humble of the old veterans, and
doubtless to this fact may be attribu.

duty Of the g. A. r. posts to assist
the government with this evidence,
and if the department at Pueblo were
to take steps with this object in view
the same course would be adopted by
the departments in every state in the
Union.

Purge the Pension List

The recommendations of the de-
partment commander at the annual
encampment of the G. A. r., now in
session at Pueblo, suggest some
changes IN connection with p snsion
disbursements. Pensions unworthily
bestowed, he admitted, were enjoyed
by many whose claims would not
stand the test Of membership IN the
G. A. r. Almost all Of these were
secured through Influences WHICH the
commissioners Of pensions at Wash
ington could not reach. Investlga-
ton would reveal this to be the case.
He pledges the cooper alton Of the
entire membership Of the department
In experimenting the guilty persons.
This msnifests tie proper spirit,
and following SO closely in the foot
steps OF the department. of Michigan
it IS evident that the movement should
be general one, The pension list
must be purged and any one who has
by fraud procured or attempted to
procure pension from the govern
ment should be punished. No doU BIT

A New York daily paper, taking up

Days Of the World" has interviewed
a number of the leading men in all
professions as to what they would do

that the end Of the world would ar
rive within the next thirty days. The
answers are various and curious, and
heighten the interest which is felt il

great novel, which appears in the
May Cosmopolitan. 1t is a question
which everyone will find interesting
to ask to himself; What would You
do if within SIX weeks the end Of the
world were Certain9 Probably no

American magazine has been more
deliberately illustrated by more dis
tinguished artists Laurens, Saunler
Vogel, Meaulle, Bochegrosse, Gera-

explanation Of the text. A clever
story Of another kind is that Of the
new English novelist, Gilbert Parker,

kind, but one which will interest all
who have had occasion to make even
a short residence in the French CAPT

almost simultaneously with the daily
papers, an elaborate description Of
Professor Gray's marvellous inven-

the artist, simultaneously, thousands
OF miles distant from the place where
the writer or artist is sitting, Mr..
Howells' purpose in "The Traveller

becoming more evident, aud is now
receiving wide attention at the hands
Of the critics all over the world.

How delightfully."- consistent are we
as Christian nation. We grow ex-
ceedingly indignant over the brutal
expulsion Of the Jews from Russia
and at the same time pass a law for
the expulsion Of the Chinese from the
United States. Then again how en-
llghtened we are. Thirty years ago
how eloquently we labored in behalf
Of the enslaved black mani How for
chilly we acclaimed in favor OF the
equality OF all men before the law.
And how exultingly we passed from
darkness into light when his shackles
fell from the slave. To-day we &c.
renely pass law taking away the
liberty OF the Chlnaman who repre-
sents one Of the Oldest civilizations Of
the world.

Evnnx time some brieaess lawyer Or

EVERY time some brieAess lawyer or
bankrupt loan agent goes to New
York to unload few Kansas mort
cages largely representing wind, and
he fails to sell at a premium, he
writes to some Kansas Newspaper
that Kansas securities are not wanted
IN New York. The fact is that poor
securities from any state are not
wanted in any market, but good So
curities from Kansas sell as readily
as those from any other state. The
mean thing about the matter is that
so many Of these stories are told for
political effect. The man willing TO
smirch the name Of Kansas in order
to gain temporary vantage for his
party is an enemy to the common
wealth and ought to be treated as
such. Champion.
