| had tried other remedies. but the piles
grew worse until about ten months ago

money during the war, and also TO re-
lieve the distress of the old soldier and
the soldiers widows and orphans, until
the present rulers of the white house
and the pension department came into
power. He wished TO say something
on the subject of pensions, not for HIM
self, but for the poor disabled comrade
who was dependent on pension of Sl2
"A month, which had been cut down
half or more by this administration.
The people two years ago demanded
a change, and they got il, and the old
soldier who voted for that change re-
minded him of a story: An old soldier
visited the internal regions and walked
down a passage with furnaces on either
side until he came to "A large institution
very much like an oven with holes out
of which steam was issuing. He asked
Satan what that was for. "Oh! says
he, ''that is new apparatus which we
have not had in long. It's an oven to
dry old soldiers in who made it possible
for Lochren in the pension depart
ment; they are so green they won't
burn
The claim has been made that the
pension department examines carefully
all cases before reductions or suspen-
sions are made. The Judge cited case
where mans pension was suspended,
and he had been dead three years at
the time. Other cases were cited to
show how carefully (?) the cases were
looked up befote orders for suspension
and reduction were issued When this
administration went in the edict went
forth that 100000 men were to be
stricken from the pension rolls. Against
1000 claims allowed by the proceed
inc administration. $50 claims were
allowed during the first six months of
the present administration. and 50O,-
600 were pending. A man from Texas
was sent into this State to look up cases of
fraudulent pensions-tO determine who
should be cut of and who cut down.
Twelve men were sent out by this adj
ministration for that purpose, every one
of them from the south. The admins
tration has tried IN every way to be-
little the deeds of the soldier, has made
the pension roll roll of dishonor, and
the pensioners government paupers.
He then spoke of Lochren's new method
of appointing a local board of his own
to pass on all reports of pension boards
sent into the department, thus making
il purely arbitrary with him as to who
shall and who shall not have pensions
Again. by most outrageous ruling he
had Interpreted the full disability clause

spoke in terms of strongest cOndemna-

south when the old flag floats over
