you are directed to use all means under

Only 1,1S2 Pensions A Week.

The difficulties of the old soldier
are not likely to be lessened much for
the balance of his life unless he be.
longs to that class who live forever.
1t has taken an ordinary lifetime to
get his pittance, and now it looks as
though he must live another in order
to secure what he already has.
The working force of the Pension
Department is more than 5000 divi.
ded about equally between clerks and
doctors. The average number of
pensions adjudicated per week is
about 1, ,182. From this it may be
seen hat it takes five men a week to
pass upon one case. and the entire
5000 only average two-ffths of l
per cent. of case day. Thus it
takes twenty-five and a half men
working an entire day to allow a
pension to an old soldier. The
amount of red tape gone through
with and the passing from one depart
ment to another is enough to confuse
the greatest mathematician who ever
figured the distance to the sun or
counted the number of hairs on the
whiskers of the man in the moon.
Now when considered that in the
case of every suspension 1t will take
an equal amount of time and the
measuring of all the red tape, it be-
gins to look as though the last veter.
an will be far beyond the need of a
pension and safe in "Abraham's bo.
som" long before the last mile of tape
is measured.
The average age of the war veteran
is above 80 years, and there is not a
brilliant prospect before them OF
reaching the half score mark beyond
that. The hardships endured in their
younger days is telling upon them,

Sneers for Pensioners.

Certain Democratic and Mugwump
organs Of a peculiar and lamentable
type do not conceal the sneer with
which they ask, referring to the PEN
sioners, whether they went into the
war for pay. They seem to think, or
wish to intimate, that the act of &C.
cepting a pension a quarter of a cen.
tury afterward is proof irrefutable
that the person so accepting was an
mated in the first instance by a sor.
did and ignoble motive. 1t appears
to be their purpose to cast discredit
on every man who goes on crutches
or carries an empty sleeve.
This is not the right way to treat
the question. Those who revile the
pensioners by hint and innuendo are
as wide of the mark as those who hail
every inquiry into a pension award
as covert rebellion and calculated
treason. Both classes are fanatics
both are disturbers and incendiaries
