Pensions.

Admiral Reynolds Post, of Lancaster,
Pa, has adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas this Post having again heard
the cry of pension frauds padded pen
sion lists" etc, and being more or less
acquainted with most of the pensioners in
this community, We hereby disclaim any
knowledge OF fraud being practiced by any
OF our former comradeS-ln-arms upon the
Government they helped 10 save.
Therefore be it resolved, That in order
to ascertain how much truth there is in
these oft repeated stories, we do most
earnestly solicit any information tending
to show that the Government is thus being
defrauded, pledging Our best efforts to
ferret out and expose the offenders, and in
thus declaring we are confident that we
voice the sentiment OF every Grand Army
Post in the country.
Resolved, That it is our firm conviction
solemn pledges and obligations to the men
who laid their lives upon the altar of their
country, as well as its promises to those
who held its bonds bearing interest at per
cent, payable in gold and we ask IN the
name of so many of our Comrades who are
rapidly becoming aged and feeble and to
whom the struggle for daily bread is becom-
ing harder and harder, that the pittances
doled oIt to them on pension day be g ven

Wear and Tear of a Campaign.

The Standard ventures the assertion that
90 per cent. of the men who are bowling
against pensions neither helped fight a
sng.e active campa gn of the last war, no;
do they rea ize the wear and tear of an
aggressive campaign on men at the front.
Standing up to be shot at is only one OF
the incidents of war. One Of 4he Severest
strains in the army was the sleeping on
the damp ground. Think of wading in
mud all day, on hall ions or on no ra-
tions at all, and then lying in the mud all
night. If these soldier-haters could ex-
