Washington, March s.-The house
today entered upon the consideration
of the Loud bill, relating to second
class mail matter. The bill is identi-
cal with the bill .passedsby the last con-
gress, but Loud, its author, gave notice
of an amendment permitting the trans
mission, at pound rates, Of sample
copies, up to 10 per cent Of the bona
fide circulation of the newspaper or
periodicals. This amendment removes
much opposition to the bill. Three
speeches were delivered today. Loud
made an exhaustive speech in its
favor, claiming that the government
practically paid a subsidy Of $40, 0O0,-
600 to the proprietors Of publications,
which now get access to the mails at
pound rates, as the cost of transporting
mail, and its handling averaged cents
per pound. Moon, Of Tennessee, spoke
in opposition to the bill, and Perkins,
Of Iowa, in favor of it.

The only questions, and those are
burning ones, are:
How many veterans lawfully entitled
to pensions are denied them?
How many are being defrauded OF
their rights by cruel interpretations OF
the laws and unjust technicalities?
How many victims of these nefariou;
practices are yearly dying deaths made
still sadder by bitter thoughts of the
Nations ingratitude?
How can this National reproach be
most certainly and promptly remedied
These questions far transcend in I'M
portance that of saving a few millions a
year to the Treasury by sterilizing the
pension laws and despoiling the aged
men who wrecked themselves to save
the country.

Those Administrations ended March

veterans now living were comparatively
young, vigorous men. They were still
able TO battle successfully with all the
conditions of life, and had little thought
of asking Government aid Their manly
vigor, their natural energy of character,
their pride. were still able to win the
fight against the disabilities they had

That sterDest and most relentless Of
creditors-Old Age-was demanding
compound interest upon the advances
youth had drawn upon him. There was
no evading hin'-no stay-law could be
evoked against bis usury. Every draft
upon the system in 1S6l-'65 was now
coming due, and had to be met Each
year since then: Old Age has become
more rigorous. Myriads of men who in
1881 felt scarcely more than trihing
inconvenience from the results of their
service, in 1885 found themselves seri-
ously ineapacitated, and in 1890 realized
that they were IN the grasp of a re-
morseless enemy, and were forced to call
ON the Government for help. Hundreds
Of thousands who in 1881 would have
jeered at tie idea that they could not
hold their OWL against all competitors,
few years later found themselves pre-
mature wrecks. This was in the very
nature Of things. 1t was something that
every man of sense and reflection knew
as certain 10 happen. Congress recog-
nized it fully, and provided for it by
great authorizations of the pension
laws, eliminating in the passage of the
act of July q, 1890. 1t trebled, quad
rupled, quintupled the number of clerks
employed, and similarly enlarged other
facilities at the command Of the Com
missioner Of Pensions, that he might
take care of the vastly increased volume
of business to be reasonably expected.
In doing this it simply followed the ex-
ample sci by previous Congresses at
similar periods after every war in which
1
this country has been engaged.
The bitterest complaint that the vet.
Grams have against Mr.. Evans is that
he does not recognize the fact that they

f the war; every year brings sad aggra

The number of Pensions granted
under the Administration of President
