SPEECH ON PENSION BILL
Delivered in the House BY Hon. Seth L. Mil
iiken April ~.

Mr.. Milliken. Mr.. Chairman.I have the
highest respect for the gentleman from
South Carolina (Mr. Talbert) He is OPP
posed to the increase of pensions. and he
has the courage to honestly state to this
House his convictions. l have no criti-
cism to make on account of his affection
for his old comrades, for blood is thicker
than water and l am glad to see every
man feel an affection for those with whom
he has labored and suffered. But how is
1t with our friends generally on the other
side? | have seen pension bills consider
cd in this House for a good many years
The same opposition comes each time.
Our friends on the other side say they
are in favor of doing everything for the
old soldier; they stand up. as my friend
from New York did the other day. and
urge that the Democratic party is a bet
ter friend to the Union veterans than
the Republican party; but one thing you
will observe. Mr.. Chairman, they always
find some reason why the pending bill
should not be enacted. Why. sir. my
friend from New York offered bill last
week as substitute for the pending bill.
He knew his substitute could not pass
this House. 1t was intended only as a
club with which to knock in the head the
bill that is pending.
Gentlemen on the other side of the
House are ever ready to asseverate with
great emphasis and much patriotic dis
play. that they very earnestly favor pen
sioning the real soldier" the brave
soldier. the Soldier that did honest SER
vice. But when you come to reduce
their propositions down to their real in
tent and meaning you will discover in
every instance that they do not mean
anybody that is included in the bill be.

soever character it may. The fact il

other side on all important bills which

There was no depletion of the treasury.

our revenues and have n large margin to
pay our debts with while the party which
stands by and sustains the soldiers held
the reins of government. (Applause.)
The gentleman from South Carolina be-
seeches us not to forget God. turn our
backs upon him. 90 out after false gods,
and thus bring calamity upon u.s.
We forgot God and brought calamity
upon the nation when We established and
maintained human slavery. The Confecl-
eracy still further forgot God and more
severely suffered when it waged war up
on the Union to continue and extend that
institution of iniquity. Let us not again
forget God by refusing to provide ample
comforts for the veterans of that brave
army. which in achieving victory for our
country, became the architects of the
nations greatness and prosperity and
thus invoke upon ourselves another and
perhaps greater calamity.

The Reed men see nothing in the re-
turns from Vermont and Illinois that
should cause them to revise their esti-
mates of their candidate. They can
still believe that Mr.. Reed would make
the ideal President, without weaken
ing their abiding conviction that the
Republican party is the ideal party and
that it will not nominate a man whom
Republicans cannot loyalty and en-
Enthusiastically support, though from
now until the last ballot at St. Louis is
taken they will not miss an opportu
nifty to express what they believe to be
self evident truth-Mr. Reed should
receive the nomination. Mr.. Reed S
character is such that the men attrac-
ted thereby to his cause make loNal
followers. Moreover he is a manly OPP
cepts hGnorabl victory or defeat with
equally good grace. That sort of in
spiration should animate all the con-
testants, it is the kind that is helpful
and no man can now say who will
stand most in need of it after the ri
valry. for what will be the presidency,
is decided by the national convention.

A Factor OF Prosperity.

1t does not seem that a sufficient
number of men are fully aware of the
important factor that good roads are
in the prosperity of our beautifully
located city. Ii enough were aware of
the advantages we should at once see
improvements begin.
The writer had recently an object
lesson. as he does often, which may be
worth mentioning.
Thursday l drove upwards of sixty
miles over roads in Kennebec county.
about thirty miles over roads in Win
throp where the roads are superior.
The country (east and wcsD is hilly
and rocky. but the roads give no evil
dencc of rocks. and the hills are
evidently. from the new banks by the
roadside. growing less and less each
year.
| CHANGED to encounter Mr.. c. H.
Gale while he was working his road
machine, which by the way he i'm
provised himself at an expense not ex-
ceeding forty dollars. 1t is drawn by
two horses and manned by one man
who also is driver. 1t is on the same
principle as the more expensive road
machines which neceSsitate the use of
six to eight horses and from four to
six men.
Mr. Gale is a practical road maker
He has been elected road master OF
sixty miles of road in Winthrop for
twenty-siN consecutive years. a fact
which speaks for the satisfactory
manner in which he has discharged his
duties.
No road tax" is raised in Winthrop

the town and allows no soldering at

There is no political jobbery about
the office of road master AS result
of this management the roads in Win
throp are such that bicyclist can with
safety coast down any hill the darkest
night and run no risk of his wheel
jumping to one side to dodge round
rocks. The roads are elegant. as be-
comes the beautiful scenery and a
prosperous town.
But there are roads and other roads
On the same day it was my misfortune
to be obliged to drive out over Boultor
hill. thence to Whitefield. Life is toe

Doubtless he does all he is called upor
to do. 1t seems to me that if the bust

portance of good tributary roads, W,
