THE PENSION LIARS

There is no doubt that the persistent
lying of the Republican press about the
attitude OF this administration towards
pensions, and especially those issued
under the dependent pension act, had
much to do with the result of the fall
elections. They stopped at nothing.
They suppressed the truth and manu-
featured lies without stint, and, as
might be expected, they created an i'm
preston among the pensioners and
their relatives that the administration
was so inspired with animosity towards
the old soldier that it ordered suspen.
sions without regard to law or fact.
There is temperance of this spirit
now showing in press comments and
interviews, and it. is well, in view of 1t,
to restate the facts.
Deputy Commissioner of Pensions
Murphy says in reply to the correspond
ent of the Republic. that up to Oct. 81
there had been 1881 suspensions. OF
which 9,040 have been restored, leaving
2.94l on the suspended list. The large
plumber of suspensions arose from the
disobedience by Commissioner Raum of
the order of Secretary Noble, who, in

fact-that our labor, in proportion to

any manufacturing nation III the world.
The shoemaker here gets less than a
tenth, for what he produces. that the
French shoemaker gets for the same
quantity OF product. Even India, with
her labor getting 10 to 20 cents day,
pays higher wage. measured by prod

England. This is the story all along
the line, even in the cases where organ

August, 1892. decided that no one was
entitled to a pension under the ACT of
1890 who was able to support himself by
manual labor. In spite of this order.
and because presidential election was
pending i'll which its enforcement might
work mischief, Raum continued putting
men on the list in entire disregard of
the vital requirement. of the act. In
February, 1898, Secretary Noble re-
affirmed his previous order and directed
l. Its enforcement by Raum, who did it
with such effect that ex-G Commissioners
Tanner complained that Raum was re-
]ectlng So per cent Of the cases under
the act of 80.
Secretary Smith, on his attention be-
ing called to his predecessors order
and Raum's contempt of it, examined
the matter thoroughly. and arrived at
the same conclusion as to the law that
Secretary Noble had. As there were
under Raum's action many OH the roll
who could support themselves by man
nal labor. commission of bureau EN-
ployes was formed, consisting of ex-
soldiers mainly, and evenly divided
politically. which took the cases Raum
had passed and re-examined them to
lind If on the face of the papers the law
HAD been complied with. This commits
sion is now composed of thirty-three
Republicans and nineteen Democrats,
Pursuing q practice that had always
obtained in the bureau. the payments
III these cases were suspended pending
the examination. Finding that this was
working a hardship in many cases,
Secretary Smith dire cted Commissioner
Lochren to reverse the old practice and
permit payments pending the decision
i'll each case.
Mr.. Murphy takes up several in
stances reported III the Republican
papers of suspensions. and shows either
their business or the falsity of the state
ment. One old lady's pension--"Grand-
ma" Day--waS held up because she was
an lmbecile under guardianship and
her guardian had embezzled the money.
He Was required to render an account
OF his trust, and his stealing was stopped
until he should. In the case of an

A NOTE from "a Confederate
Woman" admonishes us of the danger
that always attends the use of irony. 1t
is not always safe to trust your reader
to catch the opposite meaning of your
thought. Brutus might have shown
Marc AEtOny's ironical "Brutus is an
honorable man" as commentator of
himself. and it might easily have been
accepted as such by those who had not
heard the translation of the words in
the tones OF the orators voice. If
madam will kindly reread the para
graph which offended her in the light
of this explanation and of the freely ex-
pressed opinions of Mr.. Blount and Con-
federates generally in the Republican
press. with which she Is probably not as
familiar as we are, she will perceive our
real meaning under theyeil of irony if
