The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1893-12-28

We have before alluded to the desirability
Of increasing the soldier representation in
the United States Senate and pointed out
that while there are 20 ex-ConfedeFate SOL
diers there, there are but IL Union ex-soldiers
in the much larger representation that the
loyal portion of the country has in that body.
The veterans Of Iowa have now an oppor-
tunity to start correction of this glaring
inequality. The Legislature of that State,
which will meet next month, will have the
duty of electing United States Senator to
succeed Hon. J. F. Wilson. Among the
candidates for this honor are two fine SOL
diers-Hon. John Y. Stone, of Council
Bluffs, and Hon. VIM. p. Hepburn, of Clar-
india. Both Of these comrades have splen-
did records, and are men of the highest
ability. Either would make Senator of
whom Iowa would have reason to be proud,
and who would be a tower of strength in the
Senate for the comrades. Owing to Com
rade Hepburn's long service in the House of
Representatives we happen to be better ac-
quainted with him than with Comrade
Stone. He is a very strong man wherever
placed. There was no better cavalry COM
mander or soldier in the Union army than
he, and as a Representative he has no supe-
rior in the House. A skillful parIament-
arian, brilliant and forceful orator, earnest
and aggressive in the advocacy of his princi-
plies, he is, and always has been, great
power for good in that body, and if the
election for Senator should fall on him he
would be equally so in the Upper House. !.

A VICTORY FOR THE VETERANS.

Through the well-directed efforts of such
reliable friends Of the veterans as Representa-
tives Martin, Holman, and Waugh, of In
diana; Picker, of South Dakota; Hepburn
and Lacey, of Iowa; Sickles and Van Voorhis,
of New York Morse, of Massachusetts,, and
others who could be mentioned, the follow
ing clause was made q part of the Pension
Deficiency Bill which passed both Houses,
and has been signed by the President:
"That any pension heretofore or that may here
after be granted to any applicant therefor under
any law of the United States authorizing the grant
ing and payment of pensions, application made
and adjudicated upon, shall be deemed and held
by all officers of the United States to be a vested
right in the grantee TO that extent that payment
thereof shall not be withheld suspended until,
after due notice to the grantee of not less than 30
days. the Commissioner of Pensions. after hearing
all the evidence, shall decide to annul. vacste.
modify, set aside the decisions upon which such
pension granted Such notice to grantee must
contain full and true statement OF any charges or
allegations upon which such decisions granting
such pension shall be sought to be in any manner
disturbed or modified"
This is most important modification of
the pension policy since the 4th of March
last. It provides security for the pen
sioner that he has not heretofore had. At
least, his pension cannot be taken away from
him without due notice and an opportunity
to be heard in his own behalf This is a
great deal gained, both directly and indi-
rectly. Indirectly, it shows that the pen
sion policy of the past 10 months has not
the approval of Congress, and that the tenn
per of that body has been sensibly modified
by the overwhelming manifestations of
popular disapproval of the aforesaid policy.
The storm raised all over the land by the
droppings suspensions, and reflections, and
majorities at the polls, made it impossible
for the House and Senate to refuse to
promptly pass such measure as this or for
the President to sign with equal prompt
ness. This is the first victory in the great
struggle, anu IL SHOULD DC maze the precursor
of rapid succession of others until the
battle is won decisively.
Congress and the President having made
this unmstakable condemnation of the pen
sion policy, there can be no other course
for the Interior Department than to promptly
restore to the roll every pensioner who has
been suspended, and hereafter proceed in
those cases as the law provides. There
should not be days delay in issuing an
order for general restoration.
