COMMISSIONERS EVANS AND THE "vEron

Pension Commissioner Evans, though Northern
mana native of Pennsylvanla-was appointed to Of
fee from Tennessee Mr.. Evans more recent place Of
residence in the South has been used as means to
prejudice in the North against that courageous
official In a recent issue of the New York Sun "a
Vet" has this to say:
1t is safe that than half Of the persons
who perform the work OF the pension office Confede
Of The delayed Sd hung appcaons shows the %os
unfair methods in operation against the veteran who
di would be helpless child in effort to remove
There great desire on the part Of many ourta the
paying OF such large IN pcnsons but there is no heed
the most trivial occasions which in New York har
po cost $4,000 INC settlement against pensions IS poorly
held II any person ought to have money from the govern
in every form perpetuate the government
The Sun contradicts the statement of "A Vet" to
the effect that than half of the government
poyes in the pension office in sympathy with the
Lost Cause and therefore hostile to the Union
applying for pension" by calling his attention to the
following figures representing all the officers clerks
examiners and other functionares employed in the
pension office down to the laborers messengers and
char-women:"
Appointed from Confederate States ......,....... SIS
Appointed from border States. ..,,,........ lQ5
Total .... 2zos
These figures showing II per cent instead of 50
per of appointees from the Southern States
taken from the official list published July L. 1897 since
which time there has been no material change
1t may reasonably be surmsed, suggests the Macon
Telegraph that the trouble with "a Vet" and probably
numerous alleged vets Is the fear that Pension Com
missioner Evans revolt against the inquitous pension
attorneys Is but prelude to searching investigation
into the claims of of the veterans and pretended
veterans themselves. Hence the desire to stir up pop-
lar indignation by such absurd charges that Southern
men at the bottom of the present mild efforts to-
ward partial reform Evidently it is hoped that
through counter agitation the terrible Confederate
ghost the suggestion of pension reform; by re-
publican agency may go down overwhelmed before
popular clamor.
The government has paid out for pensions since the
civil than 81 7O5 $4,000 and is stil keeping
it at the rate of about $150o00oOO a year It has
granted pensions to not less and probably more than
100000 persons for alleged injuries received in the
service of the Union army and s stil granting such
pensions at rapid rate, for thrtyhye years after APP
pomattoX called upon to consider the prodigy
involved in the seeming fact that veterans are
now being born than dying And yet "A Vet" and
hundreds OF thousands of other vets" and wouG-be
vets are not satisfied Why not make a last desperate
effort TO I'LL bottomless pit by turning to them
the whole governments revenue from all sources?
