THE PENSION II

Among the inIquitous laws left as
legacy of republican misrule none are
as VIGOROUSLY unjust as are the present
pension laws. This is a question OF
paramount Importance, and should
meet with the closest attention of the
democratic administration.
1t has been nearly thirty years since
the dark and ominous cloud of civil
war sunk back into the ocean from
whence il came. In the negotiations
at Appomattox all the animosities
incident to the war of 1861 were
forever buried. The brooding wings
of peace now shelter and guard us Ger.
The graves of the heroes in blue, and
those of the heroes in grey, are
now bedecked with the anne garlands,
plucked by the same gentle hands,
prompted by the same loyal, patriotic
emotions, and begemmed with the
same sad tears. In the language OF
the deeply-lamented Henry W. Grady
s.There Is no east, no west, no north,
no south, but liberty and union first
and forever"
The southern soldier loved his
northern foe. In that terrible conflict
brother was arrayed against brother,
and father against son, all fighting for
what they deemed their country's
good.
The heroes of the '.lost cause"are not
opposed to pensioning worthy union
soldiers. They would not rob them OF
their glory in the victory, nor would
they deny them just pensions in the
declining years of afliction. But the
voice of every fair-minded man, il
matters not on which side were his
sympathies, goes up in protest against
the present unjust pension system
Nearly Sl60, 000, 900 annually is spent
by the government at the present time
and the further off from the var we
have gotten the larger has become the
pension roll The people demand that
this shall he q roll of honor, that
every worthy soldier who has no mean
of obtaining a s%ustenance be assisted,
but they furthermore demand that the
present roll shall be purged of all
Ubiquitous parasites who regardless of
their length of service, their condi-
ton or their present residence, are Nv
ing at the expence of the government.
The settlement of this question equita-
BILE would largely help solve the bond
question. The enormous amoun OF
money paid in pensions creates a drain
upon the treasury which it seems must
be met with bonds. The system is I'M
just and unpatriotlc. 1t has no re-
deeming feature. 1t should be an honor
to draw a pension, but it is far to the
contrary.
Pension the worthy. Purge the list
of the parasites
Our democratic senators and repre-
senators should give this their atten-
ton. No such laws should be sanction
ed by the party and if they are not re-
vised, the representatives should be
held responsible for it. The country
demands a just pension system. Equity
demands it. And no union soldier
should submit to less.

increasing it IN four years more than

Judge of the Lafayette county court,

ing card: >

n number of years as mayor and never
was the man to ask for any pay, nor
do | want any pay and if elected to
the county court I don't want any pay
for that.
This card reminds us of two very
important facts which 1t is proper to
consider ut this point. The first is that
road improvements has become so pop
ular that candidates for Office, keenly
alive to every argument that will in
sure their selection, are quick TO take
advantage of it; and further, that the
working of local or municipal convicts
on the public roads has proved advan-
tageous in many localities, and no
doubt will be quite a factor in the flu
ture discussions of this question.
In the second place, there is n law in
Missouri prohibiting any candidate for
any Office from offering to serve for a
less amount than is prescribed by law.
The Lexington gentleman has no doubt
overlooked this interesting section of
the statutes, and we refer to the mat
ter here only for the purpose of reviv-
ing public knowledge of the many new
laws governing primaries, conv entions
and candidates.. The Legislature deem
ed it contrary to public policy to per
nit men to seek the suffrage of the
people upon offers to serve for less
than the legal compensation, and
it needs no argument now to show that
the Legislature was right. All that re-
mains is for every candidate to recall
the existence of the laws
