AN ABSURD PROPOSITION.

According to the Paterson, N J. Call,
n largely signed petition IL to be pre-
scented to Congress from veterans of the
war asking for n service pension of all
old soldiers who have attained the ase
OIL 6o years. The request Is that this
shall be In addition to any pension that
may already be received. The most pre-
posterous part of the proposition is that
1t shall make no difference what length
of time the pcnsoner served in the war.
In other words that provided n soldier Is
now GO years af age he shall receive Just
as much If he served only one week as
he should If he served four years.
The pension rate Is bad enough as II
Is without adding this absurdity to 1t.
Speaking Of pensions, Gen. H. v. Boyn-
ton. distinguished Union Veteran.
says that 'lf the pension lists could be
printed every community in the land
would be disguised with its revelations.
Wealthy men In large numbers would be
found upon it. Thousands would be re-
vealed whose disabilities were only tenn
porary, and 50 long since disappeared.
y small army Of men would be discover
ed to whom their pensions are In no
sense a necessity. While this state OF
facts would appear 1t should not be for
gotten that there are men in good cir
cumstances, and many In public posi-
lions of honor and emolument, who's.
disabilities and persistent wounds are
of character for which no pension
which the law provides can even ap-
proNimately compensate. At every step
etey have found themselves handicap
ped in the battle OF life. For such. and
indeed for all OF every rank and position,
through the various grades and dlsa-
Dilities. pension is not only as fully
propo3tioned to the needs and desar Is
OF the case az the government can af-
ford. but 1t is also badge of honor. To
those who are thus incara cituted for
full effort In the struggle Of life, and
| who do not need 1t because OF the COM
| Portable life which they can command
without 1t, pension should be a badge
| of shame"
This is all very eruc and yet no relief
is afforded the tax ridden and over
burdened people. Some OF these DAYS
the:e is going 10 be q great political
storm in this country, and the men who
are unfolding and are helping to foster
this abuse upon the country, will be
swept from place and power. And may
! the day be fastened.

TEaETRAMP NUISANCE.

Our Richmond friends are complains
ing OF the number of tramps which
have suddenly let down upon the Capt.
tai Clay, and are appealing to the au-
thorltics for some relief from the null
sance. It Is said that an ordinance will
be presented to the City Councils OF
Richmond providing work for the
tramrs in order that the citizens may
be relieved OF the constant appeals for
aid made to them by "the knights of
the road" The people of Norfolk have
some little grievances OF the same
character. and would like to see these
fellows compelled to pass on without
stopping here. OF course, the nuisance
is nothing compared to that complained
of In Richmond. still there Is no rea-
SON that a single tramp should be
permitted to remain in Norfolk any
longer than he cam get out
OF late 1t is a common thing for gen
tcmcn to be stopped on the streets
