"HIGH WATER-MARK."

Several gentlemen who claim more or
less knowledge of the pension business
are assuring the country that the pension
list has now reached " high-water mark, :"
and must henceforth rapidly diminish as
the veterans die off.
There is hypocrisy about this talk
that is painful, because these gentlemen
know very well that there are more than
100000 unsettled claims now lying in
the Pension Bureau, and that there must
be among these hundreds Of thousands
of claims as honest and rightful as any
that were ever allowed, and which have
been proved up most thoroughly. The
present Commissioner of Pensions said
last Summer that in one lot alone there
were 100000 claims under the old laws
which had been proved up and were
ready for adjudication, and of which he
estimated that 20 per cent. should be
allowed. 1t adds merciless cruelty to
dishonesty to talk about reaching high
water mark with this condition of things
staring them in the face. 1t means
simply, and it can have no other mean
ing, that the Government has arbitrarily
determined, regardless of right and
Justice, oblivious of its promises and
agreements and of the laws made in
pursuance of these, to cut down the
pension expenditures by refusing to pay
its just debts to the men to whom they
are owed.
This is reputation of the meanest and
most sneaking description. The ordi-
nary debtor who frankly and squarely
tells his creditor that he will not pay
him is a man Of comparative high
honor to a Government which seeks to
vail its dishonesty behind sounding
phrases, to disguise the fact that it is try
ing to cheat its creditors by Withholding
payment until they die.
This is the hideous fact that cannot be
hidden by any amount of palaver. With
all these honest claims remaining unset,
tied, to talk about "high-water mark -
can only mean the outright swindling OF
men and women who long ago proved
up their right to be placed on the pen.
sion-roll.
Honestly there can be no high-watel
mark until every claim in the Pension
Bureau has been settled.
They did not talk of high-water mark
on the war debt until every contractor
had been called in and his account set
tied. Every bill for clothing. horses
mules, wagons, guns, powder, bareback
picked pork, and quinine was in thu
Treasury, its items checked up, The
greenbacks paid out and the bonds issueC
for them. Then they began to talk O
high-water mark, and how fast the bond
could be paid of. They did not hole
up single contractors accounts for year
in hopes that he would die, and thu
save the Treasury from paying his bill
The intolerable meanness of the thin,
is that the poor old veterans pension
claim dies with him. His tombstone

A SPLENDID APPOINTMENT.


We have far too few opportunities of
commencing the present Administration
for It's acts of friendliness TO the old SOL
diers, and those that do come to us are
therefore heartily enjoyed. The best of
these since the Administration came into
power is the appointment of Gen. A. V.
Rice, of Ottawa, O., as Pension Agent at
Columbus, o. Gen. Rice was not only
a superb soldier, but has been always a
consistent and earnest friend of the vet
Grams He was a student at college at
the outbreak of the war, but at once
entered the service, existing in the 21st
Ohio for three months, and becoming an
officer. Upon returning home he raised
company for the 9th Ohio, in which
he became Major, and in course of time
Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel COM
manding the brigade. He took part in
an immense amount of hard fighting and
campaigning done by the Army of the
Tennessee from Fort Donelson to the
Atlanta campaign, was repeatedly
wounded, but did not leave the front
until he lost his right leg on the Atlanta
campaign. THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
recently had an account of the intense
suffering he has been enduring on ac-
count of that wound. He has been re-
peatedly solicited by his neighbors and
friends to enter political life, and was
twice elected to Congress, where he made
a fine record. He was Chairman of the
Committee on Invalid Pensions, and as
such introduced and secured the passage
of the Arrears of Pensions Bill, which
put hundreds of millions of dollars into
the pockets of the veterans.
Personally, the General is as modest
and genial as he was patriotic and gal
liant when the country needed him, and
the veterans who may come in con-
tact with him in his new position will
find him a readily approachable and a
sympathizing comrade at all times

every other town visited by the Illness
lynx-eyed Investigators. Taking the
Times's own statements, the pensioners
were found to be an unusually industri-
Gus, respectable lot of men, who had
done good service in the army and have
been the very best of citizens since. So
far, not a single deserter, shirk, or
bountyjumper has been discovered in
the whole $50 whose cases the Times
has paraded. The most serious charges
that the Times can make against them
are that they have each accumulated a
little property, and seem to the reporters
to be fairly healthy, active men.
Then, again, the casual opinion of the
Illness inexperienced young men that a
pensioner is fairly healthful and active
is of very little weight as against the
careful verdict of Board of Examining
Surgeons and medical experts, made
after a searching examination, and
closely scrutinized by another board of
medical experts in the Pension Bureau,
which knew nothing and cared nothing
for the individual pensioner, but every
thing for the exact pathological facts
laid before it.
To this lame and impotent conclusion
comes all the Illness trumpeting and
blathering.
Give us some more Investigations, Mr..
Times. This is just what we want every
paper in the country to do. Only, in
stead of picking out a few cases here
and there, take the whole number of
pensioners in a neighborhood, and include
those veterans who are entitled to pen
sions, who have proved up their claims,
but are kept out of their rights and con-
demned to want and penury, to /" save !"

Let us have all the facts, not labori-
