THE SOUTHERN RAIpERs.

The ex-confederates in charge OF the
committee of pensions have agresdt to re-
port bill to increase all those pensions
to So month. This is another part of
the organized raid on the part of the
south on the treasury.
On the Mexican pension roll there are
the names of 1925 survivors and 1882
widows and something over 5000 cases
were pending at latest report. This
makes a total Of 25.497 or several thou
and more men than the United States
had in Mexico at any time during the
war. These all receive either So or
So a month.
Secretary Hoke. Smith has not sus--
pended a single one of these Mexican.
pensioners. According to- unofficial re-
port from the war department there
were 123 men pensioned under this act
who swore that they served in one regi-
ment in the Mexican war, and who, &C
cording to the war department were not
entitled to pensions because they did
not serve sixty days and were never out
side of the place where they enlisted.
But no one has ever heard Of Secreta-
~ Hoke Smith suspending single one
of those pensions. And new it is pro-
posed to increase all of those pensions.
With more names on the Mexican pen
sion rolls by several thousand than
there were soldiers in the American army
in Mexico no complaint is ever heard
from any democrat or any democratic
newspaper about Mexican pensions.
But there are less than one-haf as
many pensioners on the rolls under the
acts in regard to the last war as there,
were men who served IN the union army.
This also includes widows kind orphans.
And yet the Mexican war ended seven
teen years before the civil war.
But columns of democratic newspa-
pers are filed with denunciations of the
union pension rolls. The reason that
never word is heard in criticism of the
Mexican pension rolls is that the money
all goes to ex-confederates. The con-
trast between the treatment of the sur
vivors of the two wars demonstrates
very clearly that the south is in the
saddle in the pension business as on the
tariff

How the South Is Working
the Pension Business.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 1S.-The
house committee on pensions, of which
Mr.. Moses, of Georgia, is chairman, and
on which four other southern democrats
help to make up the majority, agreed
to increase the pensions of all survivors
of the Mexican war from So to So a
month, and also to increase the pensions
of all survivors of Indian wars now on
the pension rolls, and which may here
after be pensioned under existing laws.
to the same amount, $12 month.
The action of the ex-confederates who
control the committee on pensions is a
remarkable illustration of the insincerity
of the democratic majority in congress
on the subject of pensions.
There are two committees having
charge of pensions in the house. One
of these. the committee on invalid pen
sions, has charge of all pensions of the
civil war. The other committee is the
one of which Mr.. Moses is chairman.
Speaker Crisp was criticised great
deal when he made up this committee
for putting it in charge of ex-confeder-
ates, but the speaker evidently knew
what he was about.
While the democratic party, under
Secretary Hoke Smith, has been cutting
off the pensions of the union veterans
by the tens of thousands, and has been
rejecting four claims where it allows
one, the number of Mexican pensioners
has been increased. Nearly all of the
survivors of the Mexican war, now on
the pension rolls, are ex-confederates. A
democratic house, during Mr.. Cleve-
lands first administration, passed bill
to give service pension to every man
who enlisted for the Mexican war and
who served for sixty days, no matter
whether or not he was ever within two
thousand miles of battlefield.
As a matter of fact, two-thirds of the
Mexican pensioners never saw Mexico.
Mr.. Cleveland promptly signed this SER
vice pension bill, while at the same time
Tetoing all bills designed to give pen
yions to union veterans
1t will not be forgotten that he We
toed the dependent pension bill, which
merely provided for pensions for union
soldiers who were not able to care for
themselves. But he signed the Mexican
pension bill which gave pension to ev-
cry man who enlisted for the Mexican
war, no matter whether pauper or mil |
lionaire or able bodied or cripple.
The last democratic house passed a
pension bill to give service pensions in
same way to all survivors of the Semi
mole and certain other Indian wars.
These wars, covered by that bill, were
carried on in the south and the surviv-
DIS were all ex-confederates, The PEN
'ions paid under those two bills ranged
rom So to SO a month.
