Only deferred Payment.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: After all
has been written and said in regard to pen
sions, it is nothing more than a deferred
payment. The b0ndholders who made
their contract with the Government when il
was in peril have had their debt Cancelled.
Why has there been so much talk and
speech-making for the past years relating
to the sword and gIm-holders contract?
The question has been asked, Where is
all the money coming from to pay this
sum?
We must remember there was no money
in the Treasury when the boys in blue
marched TO the front and got a few green
backs for stalking their lives, while
the bondholders were paid in egoId.
James Buchanan tried to borrow $4,000.
600 and failed; Grover Cleveland asked for
S65, ,OOG, 900 in exchange for the bonds of
the United States and the people subscribed
for 500, 100000 in single afternoon.
1t is mighty change; the credit of this
Nation is all we could ask. Who restored
1t? Who brought it from poverty and
bankruptcy to our present proud position
among the nations? Not the bankers, not
the merchants, not the manufacturers, not
the farmers; they did well their, part, but
their united efforts would have been i'm vain
had it not been for what the S13 a month
soldiers, which amounted to about 81. .65
per month in gold, did. A pension is moth.

Stalking q Peacock.

"The gods made nine gems, but only one
peacock says proverb of India, the ma
tive and ancient home of the beautiful
bird. The proverb, however, is not strictly
in keeping with facts. There are tpo
peacocks-the bird of India and Ceylon,
and second species, the peacock OF the
Far East, of Java, Burmah and Siam. 1t
is legend of the Indian jungles that leop-
ards and tigers can fascinate peacocks,
and writer in the London Spectator refers
to the experience of Col. Tytler to show how
strong is the faith of the natives in the
story.
Col. Tytler, while stalking a peacock,
was surprised to see how near it allowed
him to approach The bird paid no atten-
ton to him, but was gazing intently, as if
fascinated, at a little patch of jungle just
in front.
Looking in the same direction, he saw a
leopard stealing on it's belly toward the
bird. He was surprised, but his astonish-
ment was greater when, on raising his gun,
one barrel of which was loaded with ball,
and covering the animal, the leopard threw
up its paws, and shrieked in a voice hoarse
with terror, NO, Sahib, no, don't fire.
Col. Tytler for moment thought he
must be going mad. The next moment
he saw man disguised in a leopard-skin,
with well-stuffed head and a bow and
arrow in one paw, standing before him.
The man so dressed was professional
fowler, who said that in that disguise he
could always approach near enough to
shoot the birds, and sometimes catch them
in his hand.

Cav, who was discharged Aug. ~, 1922,
by way of favor on his own application, the
Assistant Comptroller holds that extra pay
is not due under the act of March ), 1923
The decision cites the practice TN Ter tile
Mexican war extra pay act oi july ", 1910,
and Feb. 10, 1879, and says that the failure
OF Congress to extend specifically the
Mexican war extra pay acts to oihcerS ana
men discharged by way of favor is To be re-
garded as an acquiescence of Congress IN
the construction given those acts denying
the extra pay to such officers and men; and
holds that the act of March 3, 1889, being a
similar enactment, it is proper to regard IL
as not being within the intent of Congress
to allow the extra pay to either volunteers
or Regulars who were discharged before
the close of the recent war for their own
convenience and not on account OF Ill
health or disability.
The same holding as above is applied in
the case of Robert p. Faunt LIE Roy, who
served as Second Lieutenant of Marines
in the temporary force of the navy for the
war, and who resigned on account OF pr,
vate business, resignation being accepted
to take effect Oct. 23, 1898.
