Another Distinguished Comrade Gone.


Past Commander in Chief John C. Robinson
died at his home in BiDghamton, N. Y, last
week.
He was born in New York, and appointed
from that State Cadet at West Point, where
he remained from 1855 to 1888. and was CON-
missioned a Lieutenant of Infantry in 1889.
He was Captain in command of Fort Nc
Henry at the outbreak of the war; and showed
the greatest frmness and loyalty during the
troubles in Baltimore. In September, 1881, he
was commissioned Colonel of the 1st Mich, and
was promoted to Brigadier General of Volun-
teers in the following Spring. He served with
the greatest gallantry through all the cam.
paigns of the Army of the Potomac until he
was severely wounded at the battle of Laurel
Hill, Va, May 8, 1864 whilo charging the
enemys breastworks at the head of his CON-
mand, the Second Division of the Fifth Corps.
This wound cost him the loss of Ms leg. He

Grover Cleveland Continues to the Last His
Habit OF yetoing Pension Bills.

Mr.. Cleveland signalizcd his last weeks stay
in the White House by the veto OF pension
bill. An interesting debate took place IN the
Senate when the veto Of Mrs. Maria SomeElats
bill was returned
In returning the bill Mr.. Cleveland said !:
Mrs. Somerlat was pensioned in 1867 as q
widow. In 1881 she married again, when her
pension WAS stopped. but being divorced from
her second husband. it is proposed to pension her
again. The rule governing the operation OF
general pension laws, which forfeits widows
pension on her remarriage, seems so reasonable
and just, aud lis relaxation must necessarily
lead to such departure from just principles,
and to such voxatious pension administration,
that / am convinced 1t ought TO be strictly
maintained. i hope may be permitted to call
the attention of the Senate to tho increasing
latitude clearly discerDible in special pension
legislation. 1t has seemed to me so useless to
attempt to stem the tide of this legislation by
Executive interference that l have contented
myself with non-acqniescencei IN numerouScaSes
where could not approve" The fresiuent
depored the great number of special bills, and
declared that the appropriation of money
necessary to meet the increases alone exceeded
considerably tho amount required to pay the
original pensions granted or restored by the
remaining 50 bills.
Senator Gallinger, Chairman OF tbe Pension
Committee. said he regretted that the Presi-
dent had INDUCED in another lecture to Con-
grcss on pension bills. 1t was an established
policy, in cases like this one to pension the
widow as she had cared for the soldiers chill
dren at the time he was the field. The
Presidents was mistaken, Mr.. Gallinger said, in
his suggestion that he had carefully guarded /"
the Treasury against these cases, as he had
approved several of them.
Senator Morgan interrupted at this point to
ask what expenditure would result from all
these bills passed by this Congress.
Would it approximate a million dollars? "
lie asked.
No, not 800 000," answered Mr. Gallinger.
" How far short would il be- pursued Dir.
Morgan, of the amount paid the syndicate
which took our bonds?"
"Oh, it would be only an infnitesima' por-
ton OF that amount" responded Mr.. Gallinger.
Senator Gallinger said he had not heretofore
discussed these trivial and foolish" vetoes.
1t was significant fact that these yetoes were
directed against widows of private soldiers
never against the widows of officers.
Senator Hoar said this class of cases had never
been questioned until the modern method of
finding fault with the pension rolls came into
vogue.
The President returned to the House without
his approval bills pensioning Mrs. Mary A. Wei
aud Mrs. Mary A. Freeman.
