A SOLDIER Halter.

Mr.. Frank E. Anderson was appointed
chief of the law division of the pension
department. He is of the kind of man
who openly states that the Union soldier
should not be pensioned for any cause
whatever and openly states that he will
see to it that they get very little during
MS incumbency, which he assures his
friends will be for four years at least 1t
is understood to mean that the secretary
of the interior appointed him by way of
further multiplying all pension laws and
defrauding the old soldiers out of what
'rightfully belongs = to them under the
law.
1t is his favorite pastime to get some
of his kind around him and enteItai
them by foul illusions concerning the
old soldiers, and says that his only re-
greet is that he was not old enough 1T
the time of the war to join the Com
federacy, in order that lie might have
been able 10 have made less number of
pensioners.

on the records of the department that
