tied An act granting pensions TO the sur

inclusive, known as the Black Hawk war.
Greek war. Cherokee disturbances, and the
Seminole war"
II s said that there is a remnant Of the
men who served in the early Indian wars
in this country not yet on the pension roll
They are old and decrepit, and as a rule in
circumstances of destitutiou. They are
scattered all over the Western country,
and while they recount their deeds Of valor
IN the troublOus times Of the past they
naturally wonder that their names are not
included in the list Of those 10 whom the
Government extends finan -;al aid When
the act Of July -, 1882 was passed the be-
lief was entertained that its provisions
would be extended to all the survivors Of
the early Indian wars. but in the admins
tration Of that law il has been found that
certain classes had not been given a pen
sionable status.
The report recites that tbe matter OF the
extension Of the benefits OF the pension
laws 70 al Indian war service rendered
prior 70 the civil Var. and which has nor
already been provided for by the act OF Ju-
ly p, 1882, has received the most earnest
and careful consideration by your commit
tee. and after mature deiberatiCu the con
ciuSiOn has been reached that tEe ends Of
Justice and equity would be fully su5serYed
by so amending the bill as 20 extend 10 the
henefciaries thereof the same benefits
subject 20 the same provisions and limita-
uons as are provided for in existing Indian
and Mexican war service pension acts.
