The senators who did not re-
ceive kilograms from Rockefeller,
in Washington are swearing be
cause they we're ignored, while
those who were honOred, are keep
ing mum and even denying that
any such wires reached them. II
a real roW-but shaw, there's no
danger of the gang falling out to
the extent that the people win de-
rive any benefit.
There was little complaint from
those sections Of the country where
the pensions OF ex- Union soldiers
is generally put into circulation,
no matter to what extent the de-
partment increased the annual out
put, but now when Senator Hanna
proposes to pension the ex-slaves,
which means that more money
will be placed in circulation
throughout the South, how they
do yell about it.
1t is wonderful to what extent
some people will go to make
money. Two women in London
recently established a home for
children who for any reason we're
cumbersome to their parents. The
little ones were received and cared
for temporarily and then sold to
people who we're childless. When
the accumulation became greater
than the sales warranted the little
ones we're murdered. The flemish
work was discovered, the two wO-
men convicted of murder and the
other day both were hanged.
1t is really a cold or rainy day
when the press bureau at Jackson
can't dig up something to make a
big scare head article about. The
latest is the discovery of some life
insurance company which has
written letters to agents in the
state offering to evade the law IN
der which such companies are per-
mitted to do business in the state.
Such gush is simply disgusting,
since no sensible person, one with
efficient sense to desire to protect
his loved mes by carrying a life
insurance, is likely to seek a
policy with any company which to
secure his risk would attempt to
violate the laws of the state.
Such a company simply adver-
tlses to the public that in case OF a
loss they would evade the law ii
possible and decline to pay the
policy.
FOr 10, these many years, one
Republican congressman after an
other has been blufing about
granting a pension to ex-slaves Of
the South. Now Mr. Hanna has
a bill in the senate providing for
|, the same thing, and the South,
which the sectional Republican
finds so much pleasure in nagging,
accepts the prOpOs ton and says
: to Mr.. Hanna: "By all means let's
have it. Quit blufing and show
o your hand" This play cannot bC
made much longer, as the ex-slavt
2 is rapidly passing away. Practi
n cally these ex-slaves are charges
+ upon the South, though many o
them served in the Federal arm,
and are entitled to a pension IN
der the present laws. Should Mr.
HanDa's bill become a law, it wOulC
mean millions for the South, mil
lions in spot cash and million
every year after till the last ex
slave passes away. Let it pass.
