blessings that were to flow from the
great trusts that had become so nu-

said that If any of the stockholding en-

Bondholders Versus Veterans.

How kind Uncle Sam is to his cred
itors, paying them long in advance of
the maturity of his obligations, with
full interest! But, then, the bOndhold-
ers are bankers and rich men. We new
err hear of the secretary of the treas
ury ordering the payment of pensions
six months in advance, though that
course would relieve the money strin-
gency in all parts of the country and
make many hearts glad. but the pen
sioners are poor and cannot afford to
contribute large sums to the Republic
an campaign funds, and that makes a
striking difference.
