Clemency in the Eagan matter will
be to leave him in such position as
will enable him to draw a pension.
1t would be absolutely objectionable
in this government if it inflicted a
penalty On any soldier which placed
him below the position occupied by
deserters. Deserters draw pensions,
so that penalty which prohibited the
drawing of pension would be hard
indeed. With all Eagan's faults, he
has not deserted any cause but that Of
decency.

tacit confession of the cabinets ina

average higher instruction. So, while
